Title: Improvements in and relating to clips for securing the ends of flexible hose
IPC: F16L33/02
Filed: 1927-12-07
Abstract: 305,752. Tyldesley, F. Dec. 7, 1927. Clips, band.-Band clips, for securing flexible pipes to couplings, have their ends drawn in opposite directions by a wedge member, the engaging surfaces of which taper in one part for tightening the clip and are parallel to the other part to reduce the tendency of the clip to loosen. The taper may be on the outer faces of the member 13, Fig. 4, or on the inner faces of a fork member 5, Fig. 2. The ends of the clip may overlap or be spaced apart, and they may be formed by turning over the free ends to form hooks or loops or by riveted pieces. The wedge may be a slotted-tubular or C-shaped member. The gap may be filled by an integral or attached tongue which may be ribbed or corrugated to .engage a corresponding formation of the end of hooks or loops or by riveted pieces. The wedge member may have a claw end to engage the band in the locked position. The Provisional Specification states, that the wedge and clip may be corrugated transversely, and that the wedge may have one or two slots which may have closed ends.

[Class 145 (i).] In a machine for making shuttlecocks, holes are pierced in the wooden bases by a tool 35 mounted on a carrier 33 moved to the left at the appropriate time by a lever 41 operated by a cam 18. The carrier 33 slides on a quadrant 32 which also supports a second carrier 34 for the feather-inserting mechanism. The quadrant is rocked on its axis so that a hole is pierced in the base 46 and a feather is then automatically inserted in the hole. The base is held in a chuck 49, Fig. 3, secured to a stub shaft 50 pivoted in a spacing head 47. The head is rotated the correct angular distance after each piercing and insertion to bring the next feather position opposite the piercing tool. When the operation is complete the clutch is unlocked by the movement to the right of a member 52 and is then swung into the dotted position, Fig. 3, whereupon the insertion of a new base ejects the finished article. The clutch is then returned to its normal position and relocked and the operation continued.

Title: Improvements in or relating to semiconductor devices
Inventor: SANDBANK CARL PETER
IPC: H01L23/485
Filed: 1963-08-26
Abstract: 1,022,366. Semi-conductor devices. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Aug. 21, 1964 [Aug. 26, 1963], No. 33754/63. Heading H1K. A semi-conductor device has all its external electrodes, each consisting of a metallic contact carrying a layer of solder, disposed on the same plane face of a semi-conductor body. Transistors of this type are made in multiple on a common slice, part of which is shown in Fig. 1 of the Provisional drawings. The slice may be of N-type silicon and the base and emitter zones made by standard oxide masking and diffusion techniques. Aluminium is deposited over the oxide film to contact the collector, base and emitter zones through etched apertures 20, 19, 18, respectively. The oxide surface is then etched free of aluminium. A film grading from chromium beneath to gold above is vapour deposited over the entire surface and then reduced by etching to form contacts 20, 21, 22 which are next coated with solder. The transistor is soldered contacts downwards on a glass substrate carrying similar films aligned with the contacts. The substrate, alternatively of ceramic, oxidized silicon, mica, or plastics, may mount several such devices and other circuit elements. An apertured template may be used to facilitate registration of the device contacts with the films on the substrate. To facilitate accurate positioning of the contacts in relation to the wafer edge an N-type grid pattern is diffused into the slice simultaneously with the emitter formation and individual dice subsequently broken from the slice along the diffused lines. If desired, the aluminium contacts may be dispensed with and a gold, aluminium or plated nickel film used in place of the graded film. Contact may be made with the films on the substrate by thermo-compression bonding, bonding by radiation through the substrate if it is transparent, or by silverloaded epoxy resin instead of .by soldering. The device may finally be protected by a coating of glaze or resin.

Abstract: 761,229. Wood substitutes. ROY, H. G. Dec. 27, 1951 [March 19, 1951], No. 33884/55. Divided out of 761,227. Class 70. [Also in Groups VIII and X] An elongated board of artificial lumber, comprising. a consolidated mass of lignocellulosic particles and heat-reactive binder, the mass having longitudinally-disposed tensionbearing members is characterized by the fact that the mass is in the form of successive cross-sectional layers which are transversely disposed in relation to the longitudinal axes of the board and the tension-bearing members. Thus, a board, Fig. 1, having successive layers L of wood-particles plus thermosetting- binder, has wood facings 14 the grain of which extends transversely to the layers. A skirting, Fig. 3, made from the same material has incorporated therein reinforcing metal tubes 39 within which heating or refrigerating fluid may be circulated. Alternatively the tubes may be used to shield electrical conductors. The tubes extend transversely to the direction of the layers. A girder, Fig. 2, made of compacted layers of the same material, has reinforcing filaments 33 extending transversely to the direction of the layers. The filaments may be iron or steel wire, or manilla, hemp, flax or cotton twine. These reinforcements may be disposed at the neutral centre of the girder, to prevent longitudinal expansion thereof, or on one side of the neutral axis. Specification 761,228 also is referred to.

Abstract: 450,964. Kinematograph apparatus. COLLINGS, C. E. HILLERY-, 26, Rural Way, Mitcham, and ROBERTS, G., 191, Churchill Road, North Cheam, both in Surrey. Nov. 26, 1934, No. 33972. [Class 97 (1)] A film magazine comprising two compartments each containing a bobbin is divided into two members which engage in a plane containing the axes of the bobbins and are separable in a direction at right angles to the axes of the bobbins ; one member has flat flanges fitting inside the other member. In the magazine shown in Figs 3 and 6, the bobbins E have the same axis, one member A is divided by a partition D into two compartments, and has flanges to enter the other member C, and the members are held together by a spring belt or rubber band P. The film G passes out at one side of the junction of the two members and after passing through loops K returns to the magazine at the other side. When the magazine is inserted in the camera and the piece of film G is threaded, devices in the camera engage ribs M on member C to draw it away from member A and allow the film to pass freely between them. In the modification shown in Fig. 8, the bobbins E, F are carried side by side, and the separation of the members A and C after insertion of the magazine in the camera is effected by pressure on a stud S which, by means of a suitable cam or wedge, causes a plunger R to separate the members.

Title: Digit sending equipment for telephone substations

Abstract: 874,254. Automatic current-control systems. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Oct. 24, 1958 [net. 26, 1957], No. 34084/58. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XXXIX] In a sub-station arrangement in which a subscriber signals digits to the exchange by causing the line current to assume one of a plurality of discrete values, a zener diode provides a constant reference voltage which in combination with selected resistance values determines the line current, which is thereby rendered independent of variations in line resistance or exchange voltage. The invention is applied to a system in which the exchange makes two successive tests, for each signal, by applying first one polarity and then the other to the line. Pushbuttons close switches S 2  . . .S 6  in various combinations indicative of the digit, the switches S 2 , S 4  switching resistances Wi 1  or Wi 2  into the emitter circuit of the transistor Tr when the exchange polarity is positive and S 3 , S 5  switching in these resistors when the exchange polarity is negative. For either polarity the zener diode Z is across the line, and the voltage across the resistor or resistors in the emitter circuit is maintained at the breakdown voltage. The emitter current and hence the line current is thus determined solely by the zener voltage and the resistance in the emitter circuit.
