Title: Improvements in or relating to Crop Stores.
IPC: A01F25/18
Filed: 1967-02-27
Abstract: 1,180,122. Crop store. TEXAS INDUSTRIES Inc. 27 Feb., 1967 [11 March, 1966], No. 9261/67. Heading A1F. A crop store comprises: a compressing device that feeds crop under high pressure, i.e. substantially free of air, to an inlet in the base of the store. A movable cover keeps the crop in a compressed state, and a discharging device discharges the crop through an outlet at the base of the store. The first form of store, Fig. 1, has a shaft 2, supported between side walls 1, upon which is mounted a pair of support arms 3 that carry crankshafts 4 and 5. The crankshafts, on rotation, reciprocate tined supports 7 mounted between supports 3 so that as the supports 3 are lowered, crop deposited on a floor between walls 1 is raked into a worm conveyer 11 that feeds the compressing device. A ram 13 forces the crop into movable cutters 20 and further into the crop store under pressure of the crop already stored. A worm conveyer 28 connected by an omnidirectional joint 26A to a worm conveyer 26 can discharge crop through outlet 25A on to a discharge conveyer 29. An electric motor 30 provides the power to the various driven components. The crop store shown in Fig. 3 has an alternative form of compressing device comprising an arm 71 driven to follow the kidney-shape locus by being pivotally mounted between gear wheels 66 and pivotally mounted via arm 73 to the wall of the store 63. A flap 74A closes the inlet to the store. The discharging device is a vertical worm whose diameter increases towards the top of the store. The worm is provided with cutters 79 disposed at equal distances from each other and, at regular intervals along the worm, beating members 81 connected via chains. These chains increase in length towards the top of the store. A cover 83, slidable on the upper portion of shaft 78 is located in four U- shaped guides 88 spaced 90 degrees from each other around the containing wall. Within the guides travel the twin rollers 87 mounted in supports connected to the cover. Adjustable scrapers mounted on the supports extend into the guides. Ballast may be added to the cover to increase the amount of compression on the stored crop.

Filed: 1947-04-09
Abstract: 622,869. Turbine rotors. BAUMANN, K., and METROPOLITANVICKERS ELECTRICAL CO.. Ltd. April 9, 1947, No. 9470. Addition to 585,086. [Class 110(iii] In a means for securing together two or more blade-carrying discs of a turbine rotor, adjacent faces of adjacent discs are formed with axially extending rings; the rings are secured together by a connecting member having annular grooves which receive projecting portions of the rings, or alternatively one ring is annularly grooved to receive the other ring. The parts are held together by radially disposed taper pins. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the rings 5 on adjacent rotor discs 1 extend into grooves defined by the inner and outer flanges 6, 7 of a connecting member. The latter is conveniently made in two halves which are welded together along a peripheral joint 12 after the taper pins 8 have been inserted. The taper pins are held in place by forked locking collars 9. The end discs are secured to extensions 2 of the main shaft by connecting rings 10. Concentricity of the rotor discs and shaft extensions is maintained by spigots 3. To permit thermal expansion, axial and radial clearances are provided between the disc ,rings and the connecting members. In an alternative construction, Fig. 2 (not shown), separate connecting members are eliminated; one disc of a two-stage rotor has an axially extending ring which projects into an annular groove defined by inner 'and outer flanges formed on the other disc. An annular ledge on the latter disc prevents inward movement of the taper pins. Outward movement of the pins is prevented by plugs which overlie the pins and are screwed into a ring attached to the outer flange. The rotor is attached to the rotor shaft at one end only, the method of attachment being similar to that shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings of the parent Specification. There may be more than two discs. Specification 603,996 is referred to

Abstract: 399,809. Engine stop-gear. ROSSER & RUSSELL, Ltd., Marsham Street, and NAYLOR, E. J., 59, St. John's Wood Court, both in London. April 2, 1932, No. 9546. [Class 122 (iv).] A combined isolating and safety cut-off valve for use in pipe lines where inflammable liquid is handled by a pump and particularly applicable for use in oil-fired boiler installations or Diesel engine plant, comprises a spring-loaded valve 6 arranged in the inlet conduit to the pump and normally opened and closed by the suction or pressure in the conduit but adapted in the event of certain eventualities to be held closed by a spring or weight. In the form shown in the Figure a lever 14 carrying a weight 15 is coupled by a pin 17 to a shackle supported by a wire with fusible links. In the event of the links melting or the pin 17 being withdrawn by a cable extending outside the building the lever depresses a plunger 8 against the action of a spring 11 and so holds the valve to its seat. The valve member has a spindle 7 engaging a socket in the plunger and surrounded by a spring 12 adjusted to hold the valve closed against the hydrostatic head in the inlet when the pump is not working. A flange on the plunger is connected to the casing by a copper packing bellows 18. The valve member may be recessed to engage a projection on the plunger.

Title: Wet shaver
Inventor: ALTHAUS WOLFGANG
IPC: B26B21/58
Filed: 1994-11-10
Abstract: The spirit of the invention is a rotary-head wet shaver with a shaving head 2 which has single or double razor blades 7 and which is arranged at the front end of a handle 1, a plurality of razor blades 7 being arranged on a common blade carrier 6, rotatable about an axis A, uniformly over the circumference of the latter. The cutting edges 8 of the razor blades 7 extend parallel to this axis A, and the blade carrier 6 together with the razor blades 7 can be rotated by means of a rotary knob 11 lying in the axis A and located on the blade carrier 6, into the respective shaving position and be locked there. To improve the handling of the shaver, it is proposed that it be possible for the rotary knob 11 to be pulled out. It is proposed, furthermore, that the blade carrier 6 be attachable on to the free end of a rotary axle 4, whilst the blade carrier 6 can additionally be equipped with a cover cap 16 and with a wire coil. This wire coil can likewise be used for all conventional razor blades and is not restricted to those blade carriers on rotary-head shavers.
