Title: Improvements relating to machines for washing or cleaning tumblers and like articles
IPC: A47L15/00
Filed: 1936-11-02
Abstract: 479,786. Cleaning drinking-glasses &c. KLEENGLAS (1935), Ltd., and GRIFFITHS, A. Nov. 2, 1936, No. 29817. [Class 138 (i)] In a machine for cleaning drinking-glasses and like hollow-ware comprising pivotallymounted U-shaped elements adapted to revolve about a common axis and each element having a squeegee on each arm thereof, each squeegee which acts on the inner surface of a glass being cleaned is pivotally mounted and has a flexible abutment nearer than the pivot to the base of the revolving head, the abutment engaging the arm of the U-shaped element when a glass is put into the machine. In the construction shown, each U-shaped element a is pivotally connected at b to a base-piece c which screws on to a revolving spindle (not shown). Each element is also connected by a link d to a collar e on a slidable tube f through the end of which water is adapted to be delivered. Each inner squeegee g is pivotally connected at i to the arm a<1> and is provided with a rubber buffer j adapted to engage the arm a<1> when a glass is put over the squeegee. A rubber pad k on each arm a<1> guides the mouth of a glass inserted in the machine. One of the squeegees g has a flexible extension o with a curved edge and is adapted to be bent over to clean the bottom of the glass. Each outer squeegee is pivotally connected to the arm a<2>, and is of the form shown in Fig. 9. As a glass is being removed from the machine the curved edge r<1> of each outer squeegee is caused to exert strong pressure against the glass surface. Specifications 296,581, [Class 138 (i)], and 388,017 are referred to.

Abstract: 663,188. Tractor winches. HESFORD, C. M. Sept. 13, 1949. [Nov. 17, 1948] No. 29847/48. Class 78 (v). An agricultural apparatus comprises a tractor 30, a winch 13, a plurality of preferably parallel connecting members 11 each pivoted at one end to the tractor and at the other end to a member 12 which supports the winch or which is secured thereto, means (e.g. hydraulic) to raise the winch relative to the tractor, and at least one ground anchor or sprag 14 which is pivoted to said member 12. The winch drum 13 is mounted on a platform 12, the platform 12 being supported from the tractor by a pair of parallel members 11 and a single member 15, the rods being pivoted to the platform and to the tractor frame. A sprag 14 is pivoted to the platform 12 so as to occupy either of the two positions 14 and forms the rear platform support. The platform is raised for transport by hydraulic lifting means applied to members 11 and secured in elevated position by the tie rod 22 pivoted to platform 12 and secured to a hole 22a in the tractor frame by the pin shown. The drum 13 is driven from tractor output shaft 16 through universal couplings 17, 18 between which there is inserted telescopic coupling to allow for increase of length of drive shaft. Rollers 19 on platform 12 serve to guide the winch rope.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a portable oil well mast
IPC: E21B15/00
Filed: 1949-11-22
Abstract: 675,003. Portable oil well masts. MOORE CORPORATION. L. C. Nov. 22, 1949. [Dec. 3, 1948] No. 29865/49. Class 78 (iv). A portable oil well mast has upwardly converging sides, the upper portions of which are connected by rigid bracing, while the lower portions are pivotally mounted, so that their ends can be swung laterally toward each other to reduce the width of the lower portion of the mast for transportation purposes. The mast. Figs. 1 and 2, is of the type pivoted at 6 to a base 1 and raised by action of a cable 19 to rest against a gin pole formed by front and rear legs 8 and 9 respectively. The mast is of U-shape cross section, the front being open, and consists of upper and lower portions 14, 15, the back of the upper portion consisting of rigid bracing. The back of the lower portion however, consists of two bracing structures each secured to one of the sides and supporting heavy horizontal members 36 which are pivoted together at 35. This enables the lower portion, when pivots 6 on the base and connections 16, 17 to the upper portion have been removed to be deformed whereby the sides can be made parallel and the overall width is reduced to conform with highway limitations e.g. reduced to eight feet. In order to load the mast on a lorry Fig. 8, the drawworks 11 is operated to lower the mast so that the upper portion rests on the lorry. Thereafter the mast hook 21 is drawn up into the upper portion, and the cable 19 is disconnected and reattached to the lower portion. The lower portion is then detached by first removing the connections 17 which will be underneath, and then removing the upper connections so as to leave the upper portion on the lorry. The lorry is then backed as shown so the lower portion can be raised and lowered again to lie on the lorry and surround the upper portion. The pivots 6 are now removed and the sides of the lower portion made parallel so that the portions both rest on the lorry nested within each other. For deforming the lower portion, a screw jack 46 is connected between the bracing on one side and a toggle linkage 41 interconnecting a pair of brackets 39 one attached to each side. A telescoping link 48 between the toggle link and the bracing on the opposite side to that of the jack 46 is provided with a catch pin 49 to lock the sides in the position, as used, Fig. 2.

Abstract: 1,253,847. Packaging. LILY CUPS OVERSEAS Ltd. 23 Oct., 1968 [23 Oct., 1967], No. 30012/71. Divided out of 1,253,846. Heading B8C. Articles, such as filled ice-cream cups C are collected in at 20 stacked rows for packing by movement along a pair of continuously running belts 22 from a feed depositor 23 towards blocking gates 28, 29 in accumulator stations 25 holding three cups each as counted by a counting finger 30. When three cups have been counted, gates 29 close to prevent further feed, and support gates 31, 32 lift the collected cups in the accumulator to allow a new set to pass under them. The cups are then lifted off the gates 31, 32 by a lifter 33 having blades 34 engaging beneath the cups, and then these retract again to admit fresh rows of cups. When the stacking cycle is complete a pusher carriage 40 pushes them out at shoot 41. If more cups build up on one belt than another so that one accumulator station is filled before the other, the excess cups are deflected by a guide 27A or 27B on to the other track to restore the balance, the centre guide 26A being three or four cup diameters shorter to allow such transfer.

Low pressure nitrogen gas from separator 16 is returned to the compressor inlet through a heat exchanger 27 traversed by liquid nitrogen withdrawn from separator 23, and heat exchangers 11, 15 in parallel traversed by feed gas mixture and high pressure nitrogen respectively. Intermediate pressure nitrogen gas withdrawn from separator 23 together with part of the high pressure nitrogen after cooling at 24 and expansion at a turbine 25 is returned to an intermediate stage of the compressor 19 through heat exchanger 15. Feed gas may be oxygen-containing nitrogen and liquid nitrogen product is withdrawn through a line 13 whilst oxygen-enriched liquid nitrogen is withdrawn through a line 14 and is passed through heat exchanger 15.

IPC: C01B3/38
Filed: 1961-08-22
Abstract: In a continuous or cyclic process for preparing a combustible gas, a liquid or gaseous hydrocarbon, prepared by distillation, is reacted with steam in the presence of a particulate catalyst to form a gas containing carbon monoxide and hydrogen, the catalyst being intimately mixed with a particulate inert diluent in a proportion of catalyst to diluent between 1:1 and 1:10 and maintained at a temperature between 725 DEG  and 900 DEG  C.  The catalytic bed may be in an externally heated tube or be intermittently heated by hot gases.  A small amount of oxygen or air may be added to the reactants.  The catalyst is preferably nickel-containing and the inert diluent material may be basalt gravel, alumina, fire-clay, silica, sillimanite, burned dolomite or magnesia.  The proportion of catalyst to diluent may be increased in the direction of gas flow either continuously or intermittently. Alternatively the catalyst bed may comprise layers of catalyst of progressively diminishing activity.
