Title: Tipping mechanism for skip lorry - having telescopic hooks each side to engage stubs in sides of skip
IPC: B60P1/48
Filed: 1975-09-01
Abstract: The skip (9) is slung from pivotted support arms (4, 5) using chains (11) and is lifted onto the back of the lorry by hydraulic rams (6, 7) linked to the pivotted arms.

Title: Machine utilising different densities of air and water - has meshing gear wheels submerged in water rotated by air in pockets
IPC: F03B17/02
Filed: 1977-02-08
Abstract: Two gear wheels mesh with each other within a reservoir of water. Each is driven through half a revolution and is driven by the other for the other half revolution. Each wheel has a peripheral recess (4) connected by a radial bore (3) with a hollow shaft (1). Air enters the recess from a hole open to atmosphere on the shaft and the resulting buoyancy causes a rotation of half a revolution of the wheel. A flexible hose (5) from the recess allows the air to pass out of the water reservoir. A ball valve (7) allows the recess to refill at the top of the wheel.

Title: Roulette wheel for selecting numbers - is enclosed in transparent cover with balls projected by centrifugal force of manually spun wheel
IPC: A63F5/04
Filed: 1977-02-16

The spindle lower end forms a bearing in the base (5), the whole being enclosed in a transparent cover (4). Balls are fed through the top (9) and fall down a cone-shaped guide (7) onto a plate (3) on the spindle. Rotating this latter causes the balls to fly off, due to centrifugal force, and rebound onto the wheel (2), coming to rest in numbered recesses (6). To reload, the assembly is reversed; the balls pass through holes (8) in the cone and return onto the plate.

Patent FR-2352208-A1 (FR)
IPC: B23Q1/00
Filed: 1977-05-20
Abstract: A bearing housing characterized by novel features of construction and arrangement providing an adjustable bearing seat. The housing has a longitudinal slot and mounting portions protruding at each side of the slot.
