Abstract: 1468768 Coated products N C R CORP 15 May 1975 [10 June 1974] 20639/75 Heading B2E [Also in Divisions G2 and G5] A magneto-optical display device whereby different colours are selectively shown, or lettering is obscured or revealed by a magnetic-shutter effect, consists of a substrate of a certain colour and an overlying film including multiple micro-capsules each containing a liquid dispersion of magnetic flakes, the film having a colour in contrast to that of the substrate, there being sufficient microcapsules to ensure that the sum of the flatside areas of the flakes is 1.5 to 4.75 times the area of the capsular film. Magnetic alignment of the flakes parallel to the film surface results in display of the film colour, whereas alignment of the flakes perpendicular to the film surface reveals the substrate colour. The microcapsules are enclosed in, and adhered to the substrate by, a transparent polymeric binder, which may be coloured. Alternatively, the capsule walls or the liquid therein may be coloured, or again a further coating overlying the capsular film may be coloured. The microcapsules range in size from 5 to 1000 microns in diameter.

Filed: 1923-08-14
Abstract: 222,621. Morton, Ltd., C. & E., and Morton, O. L. Aug. 14, 1923. Fish, dressing.-In a machine for heading and gutting fish, the fish are placed one by one on carriers mounted on an endless conveyer, an adjustable rotary knife, preferably of the disc type, partly severs the head, but not the gut, and the head, together with the gut, is pulled away from the body. The carriers 3 are mounted on endless chains 4 and each one carries a fixed jaw 7 and a sliding jaw 8 provided with spring-supported blocks 9 between which blocks and the jaw 7 the body of the fish is held. The head is gripped between a jaw 14, on the end of a rod 16 slidably mounted in the fixed jaw 7, and a jaw 15 on a rod 17 similarly mounted in the movable jaw 8. The jaws 8, 15 are normally held in the open position by springs 13, and are closed, to grip the fish, by pivoted members 18, 18a which engage cams 19, 19<a> and bear on jaw 8. The jaws 14, 15 are mounted on a plate 14<a>, a slot 11<a> permitting movement of the jaw 15, and a gauge plate 21, preferably adjustable, is carried by the plate 14a and serves to position the fish. A roller 22, on the underside of the plate 14<a>, engages a cam track 23, the jaws 14, 15 being thereby laterally separated against the action of springs 25, from the jaws 7, 8, after the backbone has been severed by the knife, to remove the head and gut. The jaws 14, 15 have knife edged claws 20 which grip the fish behind the head and assist the knife in its partial severing operation. The jaws 14, 15 are held laterally displaced, by an extension of the cam track 23 until the carrier is inverted by passing around the end sprockets, the jaws 7, 8 and 14, 15 being separated to release the body and head. The jaws 14, 15 are returned laterally by the springs 25 or by a cam engaging the roller 22. The conveyer may move wholly in a horizontal plane. Spring-pressed gripping blocks may be provided on each of the jaws 7, 8, 14, 15. According to the Provisional Specification, a cam on the carrier lifts a knife which makes an incision across the underside of the fish, near the vent, by which the gut is cut.

Abstract: 952,262. Internal shoe-drum brakes. L. J. R. DEFIZE. June 1, 1962, No. 21184/62. Heading F2E. In an internal shoe-drum brake for vehicle wheels provision is made for preventing locking of the wheels due to excessive braking and this takes the form of a centrifugal weight or flywheel 4 provided in the brake drum 1 which is permitted to rotate relatively to the locked drum on a screw threaded boss 2 when wheel locking takes place and the relative movement against a restoring spring 5 causes the supports of the brake shoes 9, 10 to be moved slightly inwards towards the centre of the brake to lessen the braking action. The end supports of the brake shoes 9, 10 are in the form of pivotally mounted links 17, 18 mounted on a supporting block 19 rotatable about a pivot 20. A cog 25 formed on a bush 26 rotatable on a boss 8 of the brake back plate 7 is provided in a notch 24 in the supporting block 19 so that rotational movement of the block 19 is transferred to the bush 26 provided with inclined camming surfaces 27 co-operating with inclined camming surfaces 25 on one of the faces of a compression bush 29 capable only of axially slidable motion, the other face of this compression bush being in contact with a ball bearing 6 mounted in one of the side surfaces of the flywheel 4. An additional embodiment is disclosed in the Specification wherein each brake shoe is operated by a separate hydraulic cylinder there being two rotatably mounted supporting blocks 19 to which a link connecting the end of one brake shoe is pivoted.

The table 29 is connected to a shaft 33 provided with a pinion 50 which is adapted to be engaged by a rack 51 reciprocated by a hydraulic motor 53, 54. The rack 51 is moved into engagement with the pinion 50 by means of a cam 57, operated by a hydraulic motor 43, 44, which operates simultaneously a plunger 38 to unlock the work-table. The motors 43, 44 and 53, 54 are operated from a gear pump 61 through the intermediary of valves 65, 73 controlled by solenoids C1, C2, C3, C4, an electrical circuit being provided for causing the hydraulic motors to operate in a predetermined sequence. In operation, the rack 51 is first moved downward in an idle stroke, the plunger 38 is then retracted from the table 29 and at the same time the cam 57 causes the rack 51 to mesh with the pinion 50 on the table shaft. The rack is then retracted to index the table through 90 degrees and the plunger 38 is then moved to lock the table in the indexed position. The tool carriage 5 is then advanced to broach the work after which operation it initiates a second indexing cycle upon completion of which the tool carriage is retracted.
