Title: Gas Liquid Transfer Process and Apparatus
IPC: B01F33/40
Filed: 1967-07-12
Abstract: 1,199,779. Production of gluconic acid by fermentation. CHAS. PFIZER & CO. Inc. 12 July, 1967 [29 Dec., 1966], No. 32171/67. Heading C2C. [Also in Divisions B1 and C6] Gluconic acid is produced by the aerobic fermentation of glucose in the presence of appropriate inorganic salts and growth factors using a gluconic-acid-producing strain of the genus Acetobacter, the process being characterized in that the reaction is conducted in an incompletely-filled vessel, the upper part of which is parallel-sided and the lower part of which is outwardly tapered, and in that liquid is continuously withdrawn from the bottom of the vessel and recycled to the top of the vessel, the air supply to the vessel being fed into the liquid recycle stream.

Title: Improvements in tension indicating devices
IPC: F16B31/02
Filed: 1961-09-08
Abstract: 948,954. Tension indicators. ANGLOTRANSVAAL CONSOLIDATED INVESTMENT CO. Ltd. Sept. 8, 1961 [ Sept. 9, 1960], No. 32396/61. Heading G1W. [Also in Divisions F2 and G4] A resilient dished washer 16 used to indicate tension in a bolt 10 has a lug 20 whose inclination varies with tension in the bolt due to deformation of the washer 16. The inclination may be measured by means of a fixed datum (not shown) such as a projection from bolt 10 or by providing a second lug 21, diametrically opposed to lug 20 and undergoing the same changes in inclination in an opposite sense and measuring the separation of lugs 20, 21. This can be done by employing a gauge such as 24, Fig. 1. Gauge 24 is supported by shanks 26, 28 in holes 22, 23 in lugs 20, 21 and the amount shank 28 projects through the hole 23 is a measure of the deformation of washer 16 and hence of the tension in the bolt. Shank 28 is formed so that if the tension falls below a certain level shank 28 no longer reaches hole 23 and the gauge drops. The shank 28 may be shaped to measure ranges or to drop when the tension exceeds a predetermined value. Various gauges which drop at different tensions may be provided. Recording means can be provided.

Abstract: 324,465. Holttum, G. W. Nov. 27, 1928. Casements.-Relates to casement frames and sashes for the same in which the two sashes are hinged together at their vertical meeting edges, the outer edges being constrained to move along horizontal rods provided in the casement frame. According to the invention, the outer edges of the sashes c are hinged, top and bottom, to slides g, Figs. 3 and 6, which are, constrained to move along the horizontal rods f fixed to the upper and lower portions of the casement frame a. The meeting edges of the sashes c may be hinged to a loose mullion d, on which vertical sliding rods k are provided for locking the sashes in the closed position. The mullion is also provided with a handle for the purpose of giving it the required outward or inward movement.

A resilient suspension means for vehicles comprises a series of discs 13 of rubber or other elastomeric material which fit closely within a rigid metal tube 10, are compressed between rigid end members 11, 12 secured, e.g. by set screws 15, within the tube 10, and have their abutting faces correspondingly radially corrugated so as to fit snugly together, and a non- circular, e.g. squared, spindle 14 which extends through correspondingly-shaped holes in the discs 13 and has its ends projecting through circular bearing holes in the end members 11, 12 the tube 10 being adapted for mounting on the vehicle chassis 18 and one end 14c of the spindle 14 being adapted to receive, or being provided with, a crank arm extending radially from the spindle to support a vehicle wheel. The other threaded end 14a of the spindle 14 carries a nut 16 which is tightened on to the end plate 12 to compress the discs 13. After the plate 12 has been fastened by the set screws 15 the nut 16 can be loosened to avoid frictional contact with the plate 12 when the spindle 14 oscillates. The discs 13 may vary in hardness resilience being softer towards the centre of the series than the ends.

The radially extending crank arm has its end remote from the tube 10 either fitted with a stub-shaft for carrying a non- driving wheel, or connected to the half-shaft casing of an associated driving wheel. As shown in Fig. 4 each half-shaft casing 25 carries a member 28 having its ends pivotally connected to crank arms 24 associated with a pair of suspension members 20. This arrangement may include snubbers.

Title: Improvements in or relating to key operated machines

Abstract: 930,475. Selective punching machines. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Sept. 23, 1960 [Oct. 14, 1959], No. 32719/60. Class 31(2). [Also in Group XVI] A punch mechanism, Fig. 8, comprises punch pins 205 moving in a block 206 to punch a tape or card inserted between it and a die-plate 216 as a shaft 230 having cams 231 is rotated to force the block and die upwards against a fixed plate 214. The plate 214 has openings 220 opposite each pin 205 which are thus only effective when an interposer 221 has been actuated by its magnet 226. The magnets are controlled by a keyboard, Fig. 1, the depression of a key 1 of which acts through straightening of a spring element 2 to unlatch a tooth 11 of a stop pin or element 6 from a shoulder 12 to allow a spring 14 to lower it so that a part 15 enters openings 20 or 21 in strips 19 while a finger portion 35 rocks a bail 36 thus closing contacts 52 and unlatching a latch 26 normally holding the strips 19 against the action of their springs 28. When released a stop-pin 6 enters the notch 31 between cylindrical elements 32 in a member 30 the remainder of which are moved so close together that the second key cannot be actuated simultaneously. Release of the strips 19 allows those having long holes 21 engaging the selected stop to be moved so that their flanges 47 close the corresponding contacts 48 which are effective to operate electromagnets 226. Closing of the contacts 52 clutches the shaft 230 to cause it to rotate a single revolution during which it first closes contacts CB 1 in the circuit to the magnets 226 to make those whose other contacts 48 are closed effective. Contacts CB2 and CB3 close subsequently to actuate magnets 45 to restore the bail 36 and a magnet 51 to restore the lever 24 to return the moved strips 19. In a modified punch mechanism, projecting portions of the strips 19 act directly in place of the interposers 221. The keyboard may also control a printing mechanism.

[Also in Division G4] A surge indicating device responsive to outof-balance currents in a three-phase cable 3 comprises a magnetic yoke 5, a pivoted armature 25 and pivotally mounted flags 22, 23 which when released by the armature, fall under gravity into a position in which they are visible through a window 15 in an outer casing 16. An inner hermetically sealed casing 13 has a transparent front lamination 14 and recesses housing auxiliary polepieces 11, the armature 25 and the flags 22, 23, one of the recesses being closed by a rubber diaphragm 21 to relieve stresses due to atmospheric pressure changes. The yoke 5 may surround the cable, as shown, or may be smaller, Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown), and provided with a winding connected to a corebalance transformer or current transformers. When a first fault occurs, the armature 25 is attracted to the polepieces 11 and pivots about a knife edge 26 to release a projection 27 on the flag 22. The flag 22 is released and falls so that it can be seen through the window 15, Fig. 6. At the same time a first projection 29 on the flag 23 is released and this flag is then relatched by the armature engaging a second projection 30 on the flag 23. If now a second fault occurs, the armature releases the projection 30 and second flag 23 falls, obscures the flag 22 and is visible through the window 15. Specifications 695,889 and 741,385 are referred to.
