Title: Improvements in or relating to fishing reels
IPC: A01K89/01
Filed: 1946-03-18
Abstract: 625,669. Fishing. MAUBORGNE, P. March 18, 1946, Nos. 8358 and 8359. Convention dates, Sept. 29, 1944, and Oct. 31, 1944. [Class 48] In a fishing reel, having a spool which does not rotate during casting, a flyer is mounted on the line delivery side of the spool and means operable by the winding crank effects relative axial displacement between the spool and the flyer. A rotatable flyer 8 is frictionally attached to a shaft 10 driven from the crank by a worm and wheel 13, 4. Stops 11, 12 limit reciprocation of the worm and shaft. A link 3 connects a non-rotary spool 1 to the wheel. Rotation of the wheel in the direction of the arrow I separates the spool and flyer. Continuous rotation of the wheel in the direction of the arrow II causes the flyer to surround the spool, and the spool to reciprocate within the flyer. The crank may be motor driven. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 describes also a fishing reel in which a hook 17, Figs. 5, 6, (Cancelled), pivoted to a spool holder 56, Fig. 3, (Cancelled), lies in the path of a pin 20. The pin is mounted on a gearwheel 21, rotated by the handle shaft 22, and teeth on the gearwheel are engaged by a pawl 25 on a crownwheel 26. The crownwheel is frictionally coupled to the handle shaft, and meshes with teeth on a sliding shaft 10 which carries a flyer 8 at one end and a slotted frame 30 at the other. The frame is engaged by a pin 31 on a gearwheel 32 driven by the shaft 22. A spool 1 and the flyer are set for casting by rotating the handle 23 in the direction of the arrow F. During this movement the spool is moved to the right by the hook 17, and the flyer moved to the left by the pin 31, rotation of the flyer being prevented by a pad 35. On rotation of the handle in the direction of the arrow G the reel is set, for reeling-in, by a spring 34 moving the spool to the left into the interior of the flyer, which is moved to the right by the pin 31. Further rotation of the handle in the direction of the arrow G causes the flyer to be reciprocated by the pin and to be rotated by the crown wheel which is then rotated by engagement of the pawl 25 with the gearwheel 21. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to bottle washing machines
IPC: B08B9/42
Filed: 1935-03-20
Abstract: 454,095. Bottle-washing machines. GENTLE, G. W., GENTLE, A. G., GENTLE, R. E., GENTLE, W. T., and GENTLE, L. R., Stubcroft Hoase, East Wittering, near Chichester. March 20, 1935, No. 8741. [Class 138 (i)] [See also Group XXX] A bottle-washing machine comprises a conveyer adapted to carry inverted bottles over jets supplying washing fluid, the conveyer consisting of plates secured together in pairs, each plate formed with one or more recesses which with opposed recesses of another plate form cups to receive the bottles, and the ends of each plate being bent at right angles and being pivotally connected to the ends of adjacent plates so that they constitute the links of a conveyer chain. In the construction shown, a conveyer 2 comprises pairs of plates 35 which when secured together form recesses 36 to receive inverted bottles. The ends of the plates are bent at right angles and secured by pivots 37 to adjacent plates, and to link plates 38. The link plates are guided on rails 42 and pass over hexagonal plates 39 mounted on shafts 40, 41. The shaft 40 has a ratchet wheel 44 adapted to be driven by an electric motor through the medium of a worm wheel having an eccentrically-pivoted link 59 connected to a yoke member 45. This member has a pawl which carries a pin 47 normally engaging the ratchet wheel 44 through the action of a spring 48. The arms 60 of a bottle-receiving tray 61 are pivotally mounted on the shaft 40, and one arm is connected to a tension spring 63. This arm has a pin-and-slot connection with a cam member 66, so that when the tray contains a bottle the weight thereof causes the cam member to disengage the pin 47 from the ratchet wheel 44, whereby no further movement of the conveyer takes place until the tray is empty. The bottles in their passage through the machine are sprayed successively by cold water from pipes 14, hot water from a pipe 13, hot alkali solution from pipes 3, hot water from another pipe 13, and steam from pipes 15. The steam may be cut off, and instead cold water be supplied to the bottles through pipes 16, 17. The solution passing through pipes 3 is drawn by a pump from a tank 9 into which it returns by a pipe 12 which may be provided with a filter. Screens 68 of chain steel isolate the liquid-supplying zones from one another.

Filed: 1928-03-23
Abstract: 303,409. Hoffmann, F. Jan. 2, ]928, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. Rollers and roller heads; roving guides. - In drawing-mechanism for spinning-machines the sliver is guided between the front rollers c, d and the middle rollers f, g by a, guide member m, directly or through the medium of a belt k, so that it contacts with the lower middle roller g along an arc and passes therefrom in the direction of a tangent intersecting the lower front roller d. The slider may be similarly guided by means of a guide member n between the feed rollers, and the rollers f, g. The members m, n are carried by a frame comprising straps p, Fig. 3, connected by rods or bars q, r, and riding on the parts f<2> of the roller f. The frame, is supported in the roller stands in the same manner as the top middle roller in the usual three-pair roller heads, and permits the ready conversion of such heads into a high-draft head. The weighting. saddle of the rollers c, f engages the frame with slight play to hold it in position, and the lower surface of the saddle is such that, if by reason of the stiffness of the belt the upper surfaces of the bars q, r contact therewith, the frame, is maintained by the weighing-means in such position that the, guide members w, n are so placed to ensure the desired path for the sliver. A rod s, provided with projections t to serve as roving guides, is detachably connected to the frame by screws v; its overturned ends serve as guides for the belt k, if used, and projections from the member m may be provided to serve as guides for the forward run of the belt.

Title: Improvements in safe load indicators for cranes and the like
IPC: B66C23/90
Filed: 1931-03-24
Abstract: 375,386. Weighing-apparatus fitted to cranes. WALLS, A. G., 295, Broadstone Road, Heaton Chapel, Stockport. March 24, 1931, No. 8955. [Class 143.] A weigh-crane provided with a device which gives a visible or audible indication, or both, of the approach to the safe load comprises a sheave in a bight of the hoisting rope mounted in a sliding or swinging member which moves substantially in a straight line against the resistance of a spring. As applied to a jib crane, the safe load at any angle of the jib is shown on a uniform scale of weight and actual load on the crane is shown on the same scale. As shown in Fig. I, a sheave 7 in a bight of the hoisting rope is carried on a rod 5 sliding in bearings in a housing 2 on the jib against the resistance of a spring 14. Additional springs may be arranged as at 16, or concentric with the spring 14 or alongside of it, and the sheave 7 may be in a bight which bears only a part of the load. The springs may be coated, e.g. with chromium to resist rust. The rod 5 carries a bracket 19 connected by a wire, or a band 21 or the like, to a drum 22 which carries the weight indicator 24, 24a moving over a scale 26, Fig. II. In a modification, Fig. VI, the sheave 7 is mounted in an arm 43 pivoted at a point P which is beyond the radius of the sheave. A quadrant 44 on the arm 43 is connected by a flexible member to a small quadrant 45 on a lever 46 which is restrained by a spring 47 and is connected by a quadrant 48 and flexible link to the weight indicator 24. In another modification, Fig. VIII (not shown), a rod such as 5 restrained by a light spring 14 carries a rack connected through spur gearing with a rack on the frame of the sheave 7, the travel of the rod 5 being greater than that of the sheave 7.

Title: High speed printers
IPC: B41J9/14
Filed: 1963-03-06
Abstract: 1,019,101. Electric selective signalling. ANELEX CORPORATION. March 6, 1963 [March 8, 1962], No. 9024/63. Heading G4H [Also in Division B6] In a printer, a printing wheel has at least two fonts, only one of which is presented to a printing hammer at a time, the striking face of the hammer being at least as wide as two fonts and the characters being supplied to comparison circuits to determine when to actuate the hammer. The embodiments described print a line of twenty decimal digits during two revolutions of a set of four printing wheels P1-P4 (Fig. 2, not shown) each of which bears five fonts in different circumferential sectors S1-S5 (not shown). Each hammer spans the width of one wheel, i.e. five columns. Each hammer is actuated by discharging a capacitor through a coil (details in Fig. 8c, not shown) and in order to allow the capacitor to re-charge after each use, printing is done in alternate sectors only (so two revolutions are necessary). Each decimal digit to be printed is presented in binarycoded form (together with a parity bit) to comparison circuits for comparison with binarycoded signals (including parity bit) representing the character under the hammer at the moment, the latter signals being derived from the stages of a periodically-reset binary counter fed with pulses produced by a toothed disc on the printerwheel shaft. A further (coded) toothed disproduces the parity bits. In a first embodiment (Figs. 1-10, not shown), the bits for the twenty required characters are supplied in parallel, from a memory shown as a set of one hundred switches, to twenty five-bit comparators. Each comparator produces an output signal during each sector but all but one of these output signals are removed by AND-gates. Fig. 11 (not shown) shows a modification in which these AND-gates are used before (not after) the comparators so that only four five-bit comparators are needed, one per hammer. Fig. 12-16 (not shown) show another embodiment in which a single five-bit comparator is used by comparing the signals representing the character under the hammer with the required characters for the different printing wheels in the sector then in position, sequentially rather than simultaneously. In accordance with this, the fonts on the successive printing wheels are each staggered by a quarter of the height of a character from the previous wheel. Figs. 17- 18 (not shown) show a further embodiment in which a single one-bit comparator is used, the binary digits representing each character being considered in turn, the comparator being arranged to give an output only if all the bits of a given character correspond (comparator shown, inter alia, in Fig. 18, not shown). Figs. 19-26 (not shown) show a last embodiment in which the required characters are signalled along wires, serially by character, five bits in parallel, and are stored in shift registers (one per sector) and then fed one bit at a time to a single one-bit comparator acting in the same way as that of the last embodiment.

Abstract: 1284802 Batteries with circulating electrolyte TOYOTA CHUO KENKYUSHO KK 25 Feb 1970. [1 March 1969 11 April l969] 9052/70 Heading HlB An electric battery through which electrolyte is circulated comprises a battery ease having side walls, an electrolyte reservoir with inlet and outlet pipes, a main electrolyte supply passage and a series of branch passages of smaller crosssection connecting the reservoir outlet pipe to each cell, a similar arrangement of main and branch return passages connecting each cell to the reservoir inlet pipe, means for propelling electrolyte around the circuit and means for introducing gas bubbles into the electrolyte flow to reduce leakage currents. A rechargeable zinc/air cell embodying the invention is shown schematically in Fig. 1 and in perspective in Fig. 2. Aqueous KOH electrolyte enters the battery via main supply duct 20 and is fed to each cell by branch ducts 30 formed in the walls of the battery. Each branch duct is of spiral configuration to lengthen the electrolyte bridge between the cells and reduce the leakage currents  between them. Leakage currents are also reduced by injecting bubbles of air into each branch duct by a set of needles (Fig. 5, not shown). Electrolyte leaving the cells via return ducts 40, 50 and 72 flows through reservoir 8, pump 7 and cyclone separator 45 before reentering the battery at duct 30 again. During discharge, the cyclone separator removes ZnO from the electrolyte and deposits it on filters 91. During recharging, some of this ZnO is dissolved in the electrolyte and reprecipitated as zinc on the electrodes.

Title: Electronic braking control system
IPC: B60T8/66
Filed: 1973-02-23
Abstract: 1366843 Anti-skid brake control systems SOC ANON DBA 23 Feb 1973 [15 March 1972] 9089/73 Heading F2F An electronic braking control system comprises means supplying a signal V, representing the speed of the wheel to be braked, to a logic circuit 26 which delivers to a brake pressure relaxation means a relax signal S whereby the trailing edge of the relax signal is delayed by an increasing signal V4 having exponential trend and a predetermined duration if the speed signal V and the exponential signal V4 intersect or when the duration expires. A speed sensor 22, e.g. electromagnetic, via a frequency/voltage converter 24, provides the speed signal V to a non-reactive passive dipole 42, e.g. a resistive voltage divider, to provide a signal V1 where where a = constant, positive and less than or equal to 1; b = constant and positive, or zero. The signal V1 passes to a reactive passive dipole 44, e.g. a capacitor/resistance combination to provide a signal V2 where where K, K<SP>1</SP>, K<SP>11</SP> are positive constants. The signal V2 is prevented from becoming less than V1 by one or more diodes. The speed signal V also passes to a dipole 46 similar to the dipole 42 supplying a signal V3 to one input of an exponential generator 48, its other input being a positive feedback of the relax signal S so that the exponential signal V4 is provided only during emission of the relax signal. A comparator 50 receives the phase shifted signal V2 and the exponential signal V4 and supplies a signal V5 representing the larger of the signals V2, V4 to a differential amplifier 52 which compares the signal V5 with the speed signal V and supplies the relax signal S when V5 is greater than V, to a solenoid valve 32 to close fluid communication to the wheel brakes 34. The exponential signal V4 provides an extension of the relax signal S for low wheel/road adhesion coefficient braking, the signal V4 being less than V2 when the coefficient is high, so that the exponential curve does not intersect the speed signal curve. The generator comprises a safety time delay circuit which cancels the output V4 after a predetermined time span from the initiation of the relax signal S, thus limiting the delaying effect of the exponential signal.

Patent GB-576927-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in dyeing
IPC: D06P1/92
Filed: 1944-05-12
Abstract: Cellulose acetate textile materials are coloured by impregnation with a solution of a direct dyeing dye in a liquid comprising water, at least 60 per cent, e.g. 65 per cent, by weight of ethyl alcohol and from 1 to 8 per cent, e.g. 4-5 per cent, by weight of an aliphatic monocarboxylic acid containing at the most 4 carbon atoms.  The dyes employed may be acid dyes of the kind ordinarily employed for dyeing wool, or dyes difficultly soluble in water of the kind which colour cellulose acetate directly when applied in the form of aqueous dispersions.  The process is applicable to the dyeing of cellulose acetate in the form of fabrics, staple fibre (e.g. in the form of a top or roving) or yarns, and to the production of differential dyeings or crossed-dyed effects on mixed materials containing fibres of cellulose acetate and of other materials, e.g. cotton, silk, wool or regenerated cellulose.  Thus the cellulose acetate fibres in a mixed fabric of cellulose acetate and wool may be dyed with water-insoluble dyes having no affinity for the wool fibres, which may be left uncoloured or subsequently coloured with dyes having affinity for wool.  In examples: (1) a cellulose acetate fabric is pad-dyed with a mixture of 6-chloro-2 : 4 - dinitro - 21 - acetylamino - 51 - methoxy - 41 - di - (b  - hydroxyethyl) - aminoazobenzene and 4-nitro-21-acetylamino-41-di-(b -hydroxyethyl) -aminoazobenzene in an aqueous bath containing ethyl alcohol and acetic acid; (2) Pentacyl Brilliant Blue E is similarly applied. Other acids specified are propionic and butyric acids.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also the treatment of cellulose esters other than the acetate, e.g. cellulose propionate, butyrate, acetate-propionate and acetate-butyrate, and of cellulose ethers, e.g. ethyl and benzyl cellulose, and the use of other lower aliphatic alcohols, e.g. methyl, n-propyl, isopropyl, n-, sec.- and tert.-butyl, n-, sec.- and tert.-amyl alcohols and mixtures of alcohols, and is not restricted in regard to the proportions of alcohol and acid in the dye liquid.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
