Title: Improvements in or relating to the making of twist bread
Inventor: PEAKE JOHN MORRIS
IPC: A21C3/08
Filed: 1956-05-30
Abstract: 864,185. Twisting dough. BAKER PERKINS Ltd. Aug. 26, 1957 [May 30, 1956], No. 16700/56. Class 87(2). Dough pieces are twisted in pairs by moving the pairs along an axis about which they are also rotated progressively along their length, being prevented from rotation at one end. Dough is formed into cylindrical pieces in a device 1, the pieces are grouped into pairs in a marshalling device 2 and the pairs 4 are fed by a conveyer 5 to a twisting mechanism 6 whence they are delivered, twisted, by a conveyer 10 to mechanism which deposits them in tins 14. Instead of passing through the marshalling device 2 the dough pieces may be fed alternately from the moulding device to converging conveyers which bring two pieces together at the entrance to the twisting mechanism 6, the angle of convergence being preferably equal to the angle of the twist helix. The twisting mechanism 6 comprises, Fig. 3, a circular, rotatable structure 20 carried, by ball races 27, in annular frames 24, 25 and having within it side frame members in which are journalled the shafts of rollers 32, 33, 34, 35 round which pass two opposed conveyers 29, 30. Bevel gears on the rollers 32, 34 mesh with bevel gears 39 (one only shown) which are driven through gear trains from a ring gear 46 carried by ball races 48, 49 on the frame 25. The ring gear 46 is continuously driven through a pinion 52 and chain-and-sprocket drive 57, 54, 55 from a motor 53, the conveyers 29, 30 then being kept in constant movement in the direction of the arrows. There may be four band conveyers forming a channel. The circular structure 20 is rotated from the motor 53 through a clutch 62 and gear wheel 64. A photo-electric cell device 65 at the entrance to the mechanism causes the clutch to engage when a pair of dough pieces arrive, so that as they are drawn between the conveyers 29, 30 they are twisted, their trailing ends being prevented from twisting by a fluted roller 9 driven at the surface speed of the conveyer 5. Towards the end of the passage the clutch mechanism 62 is caused to act as a brake, the twisting ceases and the tiwsted dough is discharged by the conveyers 29, 30 on to the conveyer 10. An endless band apron 16 is located over the conveyer 10 to prevent the dough pieces from untwisting. An eliminator 8, comprising an oblique roller, rejects unsuitable dough pieces. Specifications 851,599, 864,186 and 864,187 are referred to.

Title: Nuclear reactor
IPC: G21C5/06
Filed: 1974-04-17
Abstract: 1462225 Fuel elements SIEMENS AG 17 April 1974 [19 April 1973] 16871/74 Heading G6C A nuclear reactor, in particular a gas-cooled fast breeder reactor, has a core which includes one or more fuel elements suspended from an upper core part by a primary mounting arrangement and is further provided with a lockable safety mounting arrangement disposed below the primary mounting arrangement, the safety mounting arrangement, when released, enabling the fuel element(s) to be drawn downwards within the reactor core. In one embodiment (Fig. 1) the upper end of a fuel element 1 is provided with a suspension arrangement (not shown) constituting the primary mounting arrangement and consisting of a screwed fastening which transmits the weight of the fuel element to an upper core structure. The safety mounting arrangement comprises a support member 6 through which a rod 4 extends. The support member 6 is connected via a screwed ring 9 and ribs 8 with a nozzle 7 fixed to the lower end of the shell 2 of the fuel element 1. A rotationally symmetrical latch 13 composed of individual pivotal segments has vertical projecting members 14 which engage in grooves 15 in a latch body 16 screwed into the lower end of the support member 6 at 17. In the locking position (c.f. right-hand side) of a locking member 20 the latch 13 is engaged in a recess 12 close to the lower end of the rod 4. However, if the locking member 20 is lifted (c.f. left-hand side), as by means of a charging machine equipped with a special tool (not shown), its lower end frees the latch 13 to such an extent that it no longer engages in the recess 12 and it may be pivoted by means of the above special tool. Thus the rod 4 can be drawn out of the support member 6, or the fuel element 1 itself can be drawn downwards. This permits normal removal of the fuel element 1 when a fuel element change is required. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 2) a connection between two neighbouring fuel elements 1 is effected in the region of the nozzles 7. In the locked position a latch 26 of one fuel element projects through an aperture 25 in that fuel element and a portion 27 of the latch engages a recess 28 in the neighbouring fuel element. This recess 28 is formed by a part 29 secured to the outside of the nozzle 7 and formed from a particularly resistant material so as to be able to support a fuel element by means of its neighbouring fuel elements. The latch 26 is associated with a locking member 30 which is illustrated in the locking position. When the locking member 30 is lifted out of this position, the latch 26 may be pivoted and the connection with the neighbouring fuel element released. For uniform loading, a latch as shown in Fig. 2 can be provided at several places about the periphery of each fuel element.

Abstract: 940,891. Hydraulic apparatus. REGIE NATIONALE DES USINES RENAULT. May 13, 1960 [June 3, 1959], No. 17061/60. Heading F1 P. A hydraulic device comprises an operating rod 1 which is in a main cylinder and carries two pistons one 3 actuated by a high pressure fluid for the operative travel of the rod and the other 2 actuated by a low pressure fluid for quickly returning the rod to its initial position. A piston 7 in an auxiliary cylinder 8 is movable rapidly downwards by low pressure fluid, such as compressed air, supplied through a pipe 16, the lower face of the piston engaging the rod 1 which is moved towards a member 5 until fluid displaced from the lower end of the auxiliary cylinder through a pipe 9 to a cylinder 10 urges a piston 11 upwardly against the action of a spring 13 into engagement with an adjustable stop 12. High pressure fluid is then supplied through a pipe 14 to the piston 3 to urge the rod against the member 5. When the high and low supplies are disconnected from the pipes 14, 16, a permanently-connected low pressure fluid supplied through a pipe 15 acts on piston 2 to return the rod to its initial position. In another embodiment, the free piston 7, Fig. 4, is hollow and co-operates with a stop 20 fixed to the auxiliary cylinder which is connected at its lower end to atmosphere by the pipe 9. In a further embodiment, the rapid approach movement is effected by a mechanical device.

Title: Synchronous-motor clock
IPC: G04C21/30
Filed: 1933-06-15
Abstract: 413,119. Time - alarm signals. WANGEMANN, P., 80, Bulowstrasse, and LICHTENBERGER, F., 13, R÷ntgenstrasse, both in Berlin. June 15, 1933, Nos. 17112 and 17113. Convention dates, June 15, 1932 and Dec. 27, 1932. [Class 118 (ii).] In a synchronous motor alarm clock, a device is tensioned by the clockwork before the alarm is given and is released when the alarm is stopped so that the clock can be at once reset. The mechanism is arranged to give the alarm at twenty-four hour intervals, or to give alarms at a number of times during the twenty-four hours. The alarm may comprise a bell or buzzer and the clock may be combined with a lamp. In the embodiment shewn in Figs. 2 and 3 pins 15<1> are inserted in suitable holes in a conducting ring placed around the rim of a clock, or in the lunette ring, and a pointer 12, which rotates once in twenty-four hours, completes a circuit for the buzzer coil 14 when the conducting end of the pointer contacts with a pin. The end 12<11> is partially insulated as at 12<111> so that the end must be bent over before the alarm circuit is completed. To stop the alarm the pin 15<1> is moved out of the path of the pointer 12 so that the end 12<11> springs into the dotted position shewn in Fig. 3 when the pin can be replaced behind the pointer ready to actuate the alarm twenty-four hours later. Pins can be placed in a number of positions in the ring, the alarm being sounded at corresponding times. A clock with a mechanical control is shewn in Figs. 4 and 5. Pins 22 are inserted around the clock as before. When the twentyfour hour arm 21 reaches a pin 22 the arm is forced towards the centre of the dial and by means of the conical member 34, carries the shaft 24 with disc 44<1> and cog-wheel 44 to the left, as shewn in Fig. 5, moving the member 27 from beneath the buzzer spring 28 to allow the spring to vibrate. When the pointer has passed the pin, the spring 29 restores the mechanism to normal and switches off the alarm. To stop the alarm prematurely the button 35, which may be a push-button lamp switch, is depressed forcing the cone 30 under the buzzer spring 28. The cone 30 is reset when the member 27 is restored by the spring 29. As before, a number of stops 22 may be placed round the dial but when only one stop is required it may be mounted on a rotatable ring so that turning of the ring adjusts the alarm release. The button 35 may switch on a lamp when depressed, the lamp being switched off by a second depression of the button. The clock may be associated with a lamp as shewn in Fig. 6, the lamp being controlled by the button 35<a>.
