Abstract: 774,267. Sausages, sealing. KELEM, H. Sept. 19, 1955 [Sept. 17, 1954], No. 26735/55. Class 28(2) [Also in Group XV] An empty sausage casing 22, Fig. 14, having been crimped at one end 21 and secured by a fastener 23, is then filled, and its other end 24, Fig. 16, is hand crimped, squeezed. and' crushed and placed in a groove 38 in an anvil 25. The end 24 is 'then gripped between serrated jaws 28, 29 Fig. 10 closed by hand levers 82. Depression of a pedal 30, Fig. 1, then operates hydraulic means to pull the end 24 through the anvil groove enough to compact the meat filling. In the crimping device 27, Fig. 5, a fastener 26 is placed by hand on the end 24 in the anvil groove and, by rocking of a handle 31, the fastener 26 is crimped around the end by co-operating jaws 38, 39 and the top pressure of a driver 56 forced down by the extension (55 Fig. 4 not shown) of the handle 31. During the crimping a spring pressed locking tooth 53, Fig. 3, engages a fixed tooth 54 on the anvil to hold the crimping head firmly during crimping. For the next sausage the handle 31 is swung in a clockwise direction whereby on the first part of this swing an extension 55 releases the tooth and allows the crimping head to be swung away from.its anvil.

Abstract: 1391261 Electro-physical measurement ROLLS-ROYCE (1971) Ltd 25 May 1972 [11 June 1971] 27474/71 Heading GIN The clearance between a turbine blade and associated stator is measured by detecting the voltage existing across the clearance which constitutes a spark gap 2 when a spark exists and comparing the voltage with that across a spark gap 1 of known size when it sparks. Spark gap 2 comprises electrodes 5, 6 one of which is constituted by the turbine blade, Fig. 2 (not shown), and the other of which is mounted on a facing surface of the stator. A ramp voltage from generators 7, 8 is applied across each gap 1, 2 and peak detectors 9, 10 each produce a D.C. voltage output which is equal to the peak D.C. voltage at which the respective spark gap sparks and which is proportional to the size of the gap. The peak detector outputs are displayed at 13, 14 and then fed to divider 15 which provides a signal representative of the ratio of the two voltages. The ratio is compared at 16 with a voltage equivalent to a ratio of unity any difference, due to a difference in gap size, producing an error signal. The error signal is indicated at 18 which may be an alarm or used to operate a motor driving the rotor shaft which is moved axially in a sense such as to make the blade clearance equal to that of the known gap 1 and so nullify the output of the comparator. By positioning the known gap 1 adjacent gap the effects of temperature and pressure are nullified.

[Class 51 (ii)] In a superposed-hearth ore-roasting furnace having alternate stationary and rotary hearths 1, 2, rabble arms 6 carrying teeth 7 are removably secured to the underside of each hearth by the provision on the latter of a groove 9, Fig. 3b, or rib 9<a>, Fig. 4, for engagement with a complementary rib 8 or groove 8<a> on the upper face of the arm 6. Removal of both sets of arms is effected from the periphery of the furnace after disconnection of the cooling system and release of clamping devices which secure the arms in operative position. The arms are cooled by the circulation of air through built-in conduits 6<a>, the supply and discharge being effected in the case of stationary hearths, through pipes 12, 13 and 12<a>, 13<a> respectively, and in the case of the rotary hearths, through a double-walled central shaft 10. The main portion of the air thus heated is supplied through openings, (not shown), to the centre and periphery of the roasting chambers, while the remainder passes through extensions of the pipes 12<a>, 13<a> to the points 14, 19 where it serves respectively to support combustion in the furnace 17 and to sweep out any sulphurous gases from the discharge hopper. The furnace 17 supplies heating gases to flues 18 disposed immediately beneath the lowermost hearth 16. The stationary hearths 1 are mounted so as to be vertically adjustable, while the intermediate hearths 2 carry rollers R running on brackets K and are rotated by the engagement of pinions 4 on a vertical driving shaft 5 with peripheral racks 3.

Relates to heat-exchangers comprising parallel tubes a each provided with diametricallyopposed fins b, c and disposed in rows with the tubes of one row staggered in relation to the tubes of an adjacent row, the external fluid flowing transversely over the tubes. According to the invention, the tips of the fins of adjacent tubes in a row are closely disposed but not in contact, the fins being so profiled as to provide between successive rows of tubes, sinuous passages A for the external fluid having wider portions alternating with narrower portions C-D to produce variations in the speed of flow and in the pressure of the external fluid. To produce the desired effect, the profiles of the respective fins b, c may be dissymetric (Fig. 1) in which the fin b is thicker than the fin c, or the fins b, c may be identical in profile and thickened at their edge portions as shown in Fig. 2. In a further alternative, dissymetry of the fins b, c may be combined with irregular staggering of the tubes. The fins b, c may be hollow or solid and they may be integral with or attached or welded to the tubes. Specification 729,113 is referred to.

Abstract: 159,940. White, A. E., (Stewart-Warner Speedometer Corporation). Nov. 11, 1919. Charge, moistening and purifying.-A device for moistening and washing the air supply comprises an inlet conduit E opening into a chamber D connected to the engine intake at N, and a duct F which discharges a spray of water across the narrowest portion E<1> of the conduit. The duct F is provided with a branch F<2> passing through the conduit E and opening into the chamber D, and is supplied with water from a chamber C through a fitting F<1> controlled by an upwardly-seating valve carried by a rod L<1>. The valve is normally held open by the pressure of the lid C' of the chamber C on the rod L<1>, but is closed by a spring K when the lid C<1> is removed for filling purposes. The chamber A is provided with a sump H closed by a removable cap I carrying a sediment cup i, and the outlet end of the conduit E is fitted with a strainer e. When the water inlet valve is opened by the closing of the lid C<1>, water flows into the chamber D and conduit E until the orifices of the duct F are sealed. In operation, air is drawn in through the conduit E by engine suction, the water seal is broken. and water is sprayed from the duct F across the conduit E. The excess water carried along by the air falls back into the chamber D and is drawn up the branch pipe F<2>, to supply the duct F, by the low pressure produced at the restricted portion E<1> of the conduit. As the water content of the chamber D is reduced by evaporation, air passes through the conduit F into the chamber C and more water flows therefrom.
