Title: Improvements relating to a device for peeling vegetables or fruit
Inventor: DURRANT BARRY WARWICK
IPC: A47J17/14
Filed: 1956-07-24
Abstract: Potato peelings &c. which are rubbed off by the rough projections 15 of punched holes are washed away by water supplied to a hollow casing 10 behind the lid or plate 11.  The casing 10 is supplied with water by flexible pipe to a tap, the casing being held in the fingers gripping the groove between stiffening ribs 10b.  The lid 11 is secured to the casing 10, the threads 14 of which may be short for quick release.  Various constructional modifications are shown, e.g. the abrading surface in Fig. 14 being arcuate.  The projections 15 may be substituted by a line of cutters (17 or 18, Figs. 5 and 6, not shown).  An eye-removing spike may project from the casing.

Title: Improved means for deflecting the headlights of vehicles
IPC: B60Q1/124
Filed: 1929-07-26
Abstract: 316,273. Dietrich, F. R. July 26, 1928, [Convention date]. Vehicle lamps, directing.-In means for directing vehicle lamps from the steering-gear, a gear is interposed between the steering-gear and the lamps so that, with small wheel deflections from the normal position, the lamps are deflected from three to five times as much as the steered wheels while, with larger wheel deflections, an excessive deflection of the lamps is avoided. In one form, the steering lever 1 is connected by a link 2 and a lever 3 with an elliptical disc 4 coupled by means of a rubber belt 5 with a smaller elliptical disc 6, the belt being fixed at 7, 8 to the disc 4, 6. The disc 6 is connected with a circular disc 9 which drives by means of Bowden wires 12, 13 a disc coupled with the lamp stem. In a second form, the lever 3, Fig. 2, operates a lever 17 having a crank pin 18 engaging a slot in a lever 19 connected with the disc 9. Alternatively, the pin 18 may be fitted with a rotatable block engaging a swallow tail groove in the lever 19. A rubber buffer, coupling or the like may be provided in the deflecting means to prevent minor movements of the steering-gear from being transmitted to the lamp or the latter may be provided with a brake for that purpose. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states also that worm or roller gears may be employed and that the disc 9 may be connected directly with the lamp stem, the levers 1, 3 being connected by a flexible transmission member. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 1385780 Jointing by stamping; making nozzles and filters L H MOTT 19 May 1972 23609/72 Headings B3A and B3Q [Also in Division F2] A seal is formed between a shoulder on one member and the wall of a cavity in another member by flattening a corrugated member so as to extend the member into engagement with the parts to be sealed. A porous stainless-steel polymer filter 10 is sealed in a casing 13 by means of rings 20 which are initially of corrugated form, Fig. 2. A spinnerette disc 16 and a screen 19 are assembled beneath the filter, the screen-thickness plus the depth of a lower shoulder 12 in the filter being equal to the thickness of the lower corrugated member 20. The depth of an upper shoulder 11 is equal to the thickness of the upper member 20. Pressure of an annular member 23 seals the assembly against a soft metal ring 17 and flattens the rings 20. The filter 10 may be pressed from the casing 13 for cleaning and replaced using new rings 20. A plurality of filters may be assembled simultaneously, Fig. 4 (not shown). In another form, Fig. 7 (not shown), a disc (38) which need not be of porous metal and which supports filter tubes (43) is sealed in a housing by flattening a corrugated ring (40). The filter casings may be of various shapes, Figs. 9-11 (not shown). The corrugated sealing rings may be of aluminium or, if they are to penetrate the surfaces to be sealed, of stainless-steel. In this case they may seal between filter holders 82, Fig. 12, and a housing 80. The filters 81 may be soldered and the holders 82 which are sealed by rings 89 upon the application of pressure against rings 85 by a plate 88. Release of clamping bolts 87 permits removal of the filters. In another form, Fig. 14 (not shown), the holder (92) is brazed to the filter tube (91). Plates and pipe flanges 100, 101, Fig. 16, may be sealed by compression of a corrugated ring 104.

An applicator 10 for applying a stripe of a liquid material, supplied from a liquid source 26, onto a web 14 moving in a predetermined direction relatively to a web-engaging surface of the applicator 10, comprises a striping orifice 40 connected to receive the liquid material and which is wider at the trailing edge than at the leading edge thereof with respect to the direction of relative movement of the web 14 and the applicator 10, the oriffice 40 being defined by connecting cut-outs one of which is substantially narrower than the other to define the leading edge of the orifice. The paper web 14 passes from a supply reel 16 between the applicator 10 and a support 18 around idler reels 20, 22, 24 to a take-up reel (not shown). The liquid material may be a magnetic ink, e.g. a dispersion of magnetic particles in an aqueous medium, and is supplied, preferably by a pump, from the source 26 through a conduit 28 into a chamber 35, Fig. 2, in a steel body 30. The chamber 35 is connected to a series of striping orifices 40 which may have any of the configurations shown in plan in Figs. 5a-5c. A metering pin 42 is disposed in each orifice 40 at the trailing edge thereof to extend through the body 30 and is formed with a flat wall 62, a straight edge 64 and a rounded surface 66. A set screw 45 secures the pin 42 and permits the doctoring edge 64 thereof to be adjusted in height according to the desired thickness of the stripe. Alternatively, the stripe thickness may be adjusted by maintaining the pin 42 in a preset position and the paper feed at a preset speed and adjusting the speed of the pump to vary the rate of ink flow. A flat projecting surface 70, wider at the trailing edge than at the bevelled leading edge thereof, is provided for each surface 40. Similarly tapered and bevelled projections 72 may also be provided. In a modification, Fig. 6, the adjustable metering pins 142 are mounted in a separate element 137 attached to a titanium body 130 by bolts 138. An insert 139 of hardened material is disposed in a bore in the element 137 and can be replaced, with the pins 142, when these parts are worn. Both sides of the paper web 14 may be striped simultaneously by replacing the support 18, Fig. 1, by a second inking applicator. The web 14 may be travelling either vertically or horizontally whilst being striped.
