Title: Tubular mixing device for sugar production or chemical processes
Inventor: BERGER JOSEF
IPC: C13B30/02
Filed: 1961-02-25
Abstract: 970,122. Heating liquids in bulk. ZAVODY VITEZNEHO UNORA NARODNI PODNIK. Feb. 25, 1961, No. 7018/61. Heading F4S. [Also in Division B1] A crystallizer for low-grade massecuites has a container 27 with a masher and stirrer comprising tubular helical coils 11 arranged in opposite pairs along a rotatable hollow shaft 10, successive pairs being displaced round the shaft to form a star pattern in end view, Fig. 2. Each coil is supported by a frame 12 having pockets 20 for distributing the crystals. As shown in Fig. 5, twelve coils are connected in three sections 24, 25, 26, each of four coils, the inlet end of each section being shown at 13, 14, 15 and the outlet ends being connected to the interior 18 of the hollow shaft 10 and thence to discharge pipe 19. Heating medium is supplied to a chamber 17 in the shaft whence it is distributed in the course of each revolution successively to inlets 13, 14, 15 by a rotary valve consisting of an apertured disc which is weighted to maintain a constant position and rotates on the pipe 19 in contact with partition 16 (see also Fig. 4, not shown). The preferred heating medium is water and the temperature is adjusted by valves 36, 38 (see Fig. 8, not shown) which operate in opposite directions and are actuated by capillary feelers which sense the temperature of the sugar mass. The medium may be supplied under low pressure and the rotation of the coils causes flow through them to be assisted by gravity. Formation of a dissolving layer on the surface of the sugar mass is prevented by distributing the molten syrup through a tube 29 to supply chambers 28 discharging below the level of the sugar mass in the container 27 and heated by steam in a jacket 31.

IPC: B68B1/04
Filed: 1917-05-16
Abstract: 113,716. Corbet, K. May 16, 1917. Bridles.-Relates to bridles of the type having a single rein with connexions between the ends thereof and both the snaffle and the curb bits A, B. According to the invention, the connexion is a sliding one and may consist of a doubled strap E one member of which passes through a ring D attached to the end of the single rein C, and the other pasees round a bar D<1> of the ring. An adjustable stud F limits the amount of sliding permitted in accordance with the degree of application of the curb-bit desired. According to the Provisional Specification, instead of the connexion being a sliding one, straps of fixed or adjustable length may connect the rein ring and the snaffle and curb bits. The rein may be connected across at different points in its length by straps, so that it may be pulled by grasping the straps.

Abstract: 1306375 Automatic exchange systems C S E L T-CENTRO STUDI & LABORATORI TELECOMUNICAZIONI SPA 16 Feb 1970 [17 Feb 1969] 7272/70 Heading H4K Incoming calls to a satellite subscriber are detected at the main exchange in a line circuit which causes a free junction to be connected to the line's appearance on the main exchange, the busy/free state of the junction being monitored  by a circuit including a rectangular-loop magnetic core. As shown, the subscribers line circuits AU in the main exchange each have an associated detector circuit CU which responds to ringing current in order to cause the concentrator control CC to connect the line circuit via switching matrix M to a free 2-wire junction g1-gm. The latter each incorporate a state detector CG which responds to the ringing current or to a loop extended from the concentrator in the event of an outgoing call so as to mark the junction busy. The state detectors (Fig. 2) each comprise a ring core N 1  which is threaded by the a, b wires of the junction and by an interrogate 5 and a read-out 27 winding. The interrogation is effected by periodic pulses whose frequency is much greater than the highest speech frequency and whose amplitude is sufficient to cause the core to change state when it is at its most negative saturation. The pulses are provided by the discharge of a capacitor (C2, Fig. 3, not shown) by a transistor whose on/off state is controlled by a transistorized pulse generator. The core is switched to its negative saturation by either the loop current on an outgoing call or by excursions of the ringing current (which may be applied selectively to either line wire for party line purposes) on an incoming call. The read-out only takes note of the change from positive to negative saturation during the application of interrogate pulses. The detector bridges the pause between bursts of ringing with the aid of an RC storage circuit (which also compensates for temperature fluctuations) and a diode pulse detector which feed an F.E.T. (Fig. 4, not shown). The parallel resonant circuits L1, C1 serve to suppress transmission of the interrogate pulses to the junction. The line circuit ringing detector CU comprises an SCR which is coupled to both line wires (in case of selective party line ringing) by a single diode, the SCR once fired remaining on until a reset signal is sent thereto by the concentrator control when it switches the line circuit through to the junction (Fig. 6, not shown).

Cores and yokes; dynamos, regulating; m o t o r s , controlling; motors, gearing for.- A starting system comprises an electric machine which may be used either as a two-pole generator for charging &c. or as a multi-polar motor for starting. A pedalcontrolled rod 5 is formed with cam surfaces 6, Fig. 11, bearing against a ring 8 concentric with the commutators, this ring being furnished with projections 21 of insulating material, the movement of which lifts either the generator brushes 20 or the motor brushes 14, 15.

Abstract: 881,101. Fluid-pressure servomotor control systems; valves. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. March 4, 1958 [March 6, 1957], No. 7510/57. Class 135. A shut-off valve in an aircraft ram air supply system is normally biased to the open position by the thrust of the ram air and is moved to closed position when a pilot valve is opened by a heat-sensitive element exposed to ram air temperature. Ram air normally passes to suitable equipment via an inlet 2, a valve orifice 3, a cylinder 4 and ports 5. Within the cylinder 4 is a piston 8 integral with a closure member 9 which is maintained in open position by the thrust of the ram air. Within the piston is a pilot valve 11 controlled by a bi-metallic strip 16 fixed to a pivoted lever 20 adjustable by a lockable screw 22. The pilot valve 11 controls an annular passage 13 which leads to the space behind the piston. When the temperature of the ram air exceeds a predetermined value the strip 16 flexes to move the valve 11 and uncover the passage 13 so allowing ram air to pass behind the piston 8 and the build-up of pressure ensured by the orifice 6 causes the piston to move and close the valve 9 on the seat 3.
