Abstract: 1,127,715. Generating heat by radiation. H. SCHNEIDER. 24 April, 1967 [27 April, 1966], No. 18820/67. Heading F4U. [Also in Divisions A4 and B3] A method of producing sonic or ultrasonic energy or heat at a surface, e.g. for cleaning purposes, comprises directing at the surface a jet of liquid having incorporated therein a beam of radiant energy which strikes the surface at substantially the same place as does the jet of liquid and there produces sonic or ultrasonic energy or heat. The liquid may be water and the radiant energy may be light, e.g. laser light, which may be modulated and in the form of a parallel beam or focused to produce several spaced focal points or zones within the liquid jet. Solid particles may be added to the liquid to increase the mechanical and heating effects produced by the beam of radiant energy.

Filed: 1927-07-18
Abstract: 298,691. Eccles, W., Perry, J., F., Davison, J. W., and Metropolitan- Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd. July 18, 1927. Inertia governors.-An inertia governor which may be applied to the control of a winding gear as described in Specification 301,338, comprises a shaft 9 driven by the machine to be governed, a member 66 fixed to the shaft, and a flywheel 67 rotatably mounted on bearings on the shaft and connected to the member 66 by two springs 68, 69 so that, when a change of speed occurs, the flywheel may rotate relatively to the member 66 against the action of one or other of the springs. The flywheel carries a cam 70 engaging a roller 75 on a sleeve 72 slidably mounted on a squared portion of the shaft 9. Movement of the sleeve. 72 is transmitted to the controlling member 98 by the members 76, 120 and a lever 77 pivoted at 78. To make the movement of the controlling member 98 independent of the direction of rotation of the shaft 9, the link 84 is connected by a rod 96 to a weighted rod 95 carried by one member 93 of a clutch 85, the other member 89 of which is driven by the shaft 9. Pivoted weighted arms 90, 91 carried by the member 89 are out of contact with the drum 93 when the shaft 9 is rotating normally, but when the shaft slows down prior to reversal, the arms grip the drum and turn it, thereby moving the end 83 of the rod 84 to the other end of the slot 82 of the lever 77.

[Class 94 (ii)] A method of forming a block bottom on a transversely-guided paper leaf tube p, during feeding, comprises drawing apart the leading edges of the end portion of the tube to form a right-angled isosceles triangular pocket t<1> disposed at right-angles to the tube, fixing the pocket by rolling it out at the moment of its completion and then forming, by continued rolling, a similar pocket t<2> between the rear edges of the tube end. The free edge of each transversely fed tubular blank, overlapping the feed rollers r', r<2>, is opened partly by suction members s<1>, s<2>, attached thereto, and preliminary grippers v<1>, v2, rotating about axis disposed parallel to the direction of feed, further open the tube end, until the main grippers h<1>, h<2> complete the opening and form the front triangular pocket t<1>. This is immediately pressed by rollers a<1>, a<2>, the roller a<2> being in two parts and the roller a<1> being gapped to avoid rolling the corner of the pocket t<1> too sharply. The following pocket t<2> is formed during the rolling operation and rolled also by rollers a<1>, a<2>.

Abstract: A material is impregnated with, coated with or has mixed as an ingredient therewith an absorbent, preferably a dyestuff, so that it transmits light within the wavelength range 5000-6200 A and is substantially opaque (i.e. the transmission is not more than 5 per cent) to light within the ranges 2,000-5,000 A and 6,200-7,500 A; the material also transmits in the range 7,500-8,000 A, the transmission at 8,000 A preferably being about 50 per cent of the peak transmission in the range 5,000-6,200 A.  Such a material is suitable for food protection and may comprise fabric, paper, synthetic resin, glass, etc.  The material may be in the form of a laminated sheet, in which the spectral characteristics defined may be due to one layer of the lamination or to a dyestuff incorporated in the adhesive layer or layers.  A spectro photometric diagram and examples of the dyes which may be used are given and Specification 560,714 is referred to.

[Also in Division F1] A steam or gas turbine having two diametrically opposed lines 4, 5 supplying working fluid to the turbine has radially directed expansion bellows 6, 7 connecting the respective lines to the turbine and a device connecting the lines to each other, the device being situated within the bellows 6, 7 and the turbine housing 1. The connecting device comprises plates 12, 13 within the respective bellows 6, 7 and each bolted at one end to respective plates 14, 15 attached to the supply lines 4, 5 and at the other end to a ring- like member having two parts 17, 18. The latter parts surround with clearance an inner turbine casing 16 which in turn surrounds the shaft of the divided flow rotor (2), Fig. 2 (not shown). The connecting device extends vertically and is suspended from the fixed turbine housing 1 by pendulum members 19, 20 pivoted to the housing and connected to the members 17, 18. Thus, the connecting device prevents the lines 4, 5 from moving away from each other in the direction of arrows 10, 11 under the action of pressure forces, but permits thermal movement in the direction of arrows 8, 9. In a modification, the supporting pendulums 19, 20 are replaced by rods (21, 22) secured, within bellows 6, between housing 1 and supply line 4.

Abstract: 1472790 Pre-stressing resilient members KELSEY-HAYES CO 25 Sept 1974 [23 Nov 1973] 19666/75 Divided out of 1472789 Heading G1W [Also in Division F2] The disclosure is substantially identical to that of Specification 1472789 but the claims are directed to a method of pre-stressing a resilient member 44 to establish a predetermined resistance to relative motion between it and a related member, wherein the related member or a simulation 174 thereof is slid relative to the member 44 whilst in operative relationship therewith, compressive stress being applied to the member 44 in an increasing manner. The resistance to the relative movement is measured during the application of stress and upon attainment of the required predetermined value, the amount of pre-stressing is maintained. As described, the resilient member is chamfered at each end, which ends are engaged by a respective chamfered portion of first and second interfitting members. The compressive stress is measured by a ring gauge 178 having a ring portion 180 on which is mounted a strain gauge 184 which measures deformation of portion 180. Upon attainment of the required pre-stress as measured by the strain gauge 184, a press control, connected thereto, opens a switch to stop further press movement.
