Patent GB-840542-A (GB)
Abstract: 840,542. Capacitors. HUNT (CAPACITORS) Ltd., A. H. Oct. 9, 1956 [Aug. 13, 1955], No. 29233/55. Class 37. [Also in Group XVI] In a method of demetallizing selected areas on a flexible metallized dielectric or carrier strip 11, for making capacitors, the whole of each metallized face of the strip remains unmasked, and a demetallizing chemical reagent is applied to the selected areas. The metallized strip 11 is fed from a spool 12, over a guide roller 13, and between a demetallizing roller 14 and backing roller 15. The demetallizing roller is in contact with a transfer roller 16 which partly dips into a bath of 60% sodium hydroxide solution, and a raised pattern formed on the surface 18 of the roller 14 is thus coated with this solution which is thereby transferred to the strip 11 and so attacks the metallization. The strip then passes through a wash bath 19, between water sprays 20, through a second wash bath 21 having an overflow, between further water sprays 22, and finally through infra-red drying cabinets 23 on to a take-up spool 24. The water from the sprays 22 drains into the bath 21 to maintain a low level of reagent concentration therein. A wide metallized web may be treated and then cut longitudinally, long transfer and demetallizing rollers being used or else a plurality of adjacent rollers. The viscosity of the sodium hydroxide solution may be increased by addition of sodium silicate, thereby providing a cleaner edge to the demetallized areas. The carrier strip may be polyethylene tetraphthalate or any flexible insulating material, such as glass cloth; paper may also be used, in which case the paper surface is first varnished for protection against the sodium hydroxide. Specifications 563,080 and 647,573 are referred to.

Title: Connector apparatus for interconnecting units in a computer system
Inventor: LINDAHL JOHN ROBERT
IPC: G06F1/18
Filed: 1984-04-06
Abstract: The described connector apparatus is for connecting together the housings of two individual units in a computer system, such as a computer housing (10) and a housing (12) for a peripheral unit. The abutting surfaces of the two housings define two abutment surfaces (14, 16). The connector comprises two clamping arms (54,56) attached to and extending substantially normally from one of the abutment surfaces. Each of the two clamping arms has a projection (58, 59) at its end facing the other arm. The connector further comprises two receptacles (76, 78) in the housing which presents the other abutment surface. The two receptacles are shaped to receive the two arms and the projection thereon and to engage such projections so that the frictional forces between the surfaces of the receptacles and those of the projections securely connect the two abutment surfaces. <IMAGE>

Title: Tractor auxiliary suspension arrangement
Inventor: FULFORD DENNIS RODNEY
IPC: E02F9/02
Filed: 1984-09-04
Abstract: The suspension system particularly for a tractor 10 having an overhanging load 15 includes a pair of road wheels 23 each supported via a castor arrangement 22 on a separate arm 17. The arms 17 are pivotally connected at their front ends to laterally spaced locations on the tractor and at their rear ends with a pair of laterally extending links 19 which are also pivotally connected with the overhanging load to form a parallel motion mechanism. Double-acting hydraulic rams 24 act as a biassing means to urge the road wheel into contact with the ground thus supporting at least part of the weight of the overhanging load and hence enhancing the stability of the tractor. The ram 24 can also be used to raise the arms 17 when the tractor is reversed. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2165160-A (GB)
Title: Vapourisers
Inventor: PLATTS CHARLES
IPC: B01D1/14
Filed: 1984-10-03
Abstract: A vapouriser for entraining a source vapour in a carrier gas stream has a flask-shaped bubbler vessel 2,3 with an air jacket 12 round the neck portion 3 to provide thermal insulation. The bubbler vessel is connected to a reservoir 1 that lies at the same level as the thermally insulated neck. This provides stability of temperature in the bubbler, and hence stability of rate of vapour take-up under conditions of constant carrier gas flow rate, while the liquid level falls through the height of the reservoir. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2152477-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to liquid dispensers
Inventor: SIMMS ANTHONY JAMES
IPC: B67D3/00
Filed: 1984-12-31
Abstract: A liquid dispenser is fitted to an inverted bottle and delivers a measured quantity of liquid on each actuation, this quantity being visible in a flask (3). A valve (4) within the flask is normally in a lowered position closing off the discharge outlet (10), a vent (9) also being closed, but when raised these are opened while the mouth of the bottle is blocked. The valve is under the control of an electronic timer (17) which, once activated as a glass is offered up, acts through a solenoid (11) to lift the valve (4) for a predetermined time, thus delivering a set quantity of liquid, and then closes valve (4) for the flask (3) to refill. The timer (17) also prevents any further activation for a brief period after the first one to ensure that refilling is complete. The activations can be electronically recorded, thus giving an instantly accessible record of the amount dispensed. <IMAGE>

Title: Edge strips for partitioning panels having reentrant keyways to take a locking strip
Inventor: GEARING TIMOTHY ROYALL
IPC: E04B2/74
Filed: 1986-07-07
Abstract: Edging strips 1 of a panelling system are formed from sheet steel and comprise a centre section 2 bounded by lateral rims on lips (3, Fig. 1). Opposed pairs of webs on lugs 4 project from the centre section 2 at intervals along the length of each strip 1 to define retaining recesses (5, Fig 2) between themselves and the lips (3, Fig. 1). On the opposite side of the centre section 2, further lugs or webs 6 project therefrom in opposed pairs, at intervals along the length of the strip 1. Two such strips 1 are linked by keys (8) adapted to fit in corresponding keyways formed by the lugs 6, when driven therebetween in the longitudinal direction. As insertion of keys 8 into the keyways does not require an access space between the opposed pairs of lugs 6, the distance between the edges of the assembled panels 7 can be reduced. <IMAGE>
