Filed: 1945-07-23
Abstract: 596,165. Stoves. RADIATION, Ltd., and MULROY, V. H. July 23, 1945, No. 18840. [Class 126] [Also in Group XXV] Oven door fastenings are adjustable by means of a screw device associated' either with the catch or with both the catch and hinge parts. When the door b is closed, a pivoted catch h mounted on the door engages a short pin g carried by a plate i which has a bent over inner end and is secured to an angle iron j which is in turn fixed to the side wall of the oven. The part is formed with slots through which fixing screws k can be inserted into the plate and an adjusting screw m passes through the bent over end of the plate so as to abut against the adjacent end of the angle iron. In the opposite side wall of the oven, the hinge arms c are adjustably secured to a part of the wall c by screws d passing through slots in the arms. In operation, all the screws are slackened and the door is placed upon its seating, the screw m is then turned so as to press the pin against the hook on the catch h and the door against its seating. The fixing screws d and k are then tightened to maintain the parts in their adjusted positions.

Abstract: 621,055. Hones. AUTOMOTIVE MAINTENANCE MACHINERY CO. June 27, 1946, No. 19273. Convention date, Sept. 8, 1945. [Class 60] A hone comprises a body structure with angularly-spaced openings in which stone carriers are mounted for radial movement, and longitudinally-displaceable cam means carried by the body and adapted to coact with means on the stone carriers to move them radially outward, each stone carrier being formed with an inwardly opening channel in which the cam means are slidable. The stone carriers may be reversed end-for-end. In one form, Fig. 2, stones 21 cemented to carriers 20 of channel form as shown in Fig. 7 are mounted between spacer bars 16 interconnecting end plates 13 and 15, the carriers being guided for radial movement in grooves 22 in the end plates and movable outwardly by a pair of cam members 30 carried by a rod 23 movable longitudinally against the action of a spring 28 by a push rod 25 slidable in the driving shank 11 and operable by a feed bar on the machine. Each cam is formed with a plurality of radially extending portions slidable in the channels of the carriers and having inclined faces 34 engaging symmetrically shaped and positioned transverse ribs 35 integral with the webs and flanges of the channels. The carriers are urged inwardly by spring rods mounted in the end plates 13 and engaging lugs 40 on the channels, and inward movement of the carriers is limited by contact of end flanges 36 with the rod 23. In a modification, Fig. 8, suitable for housing closed-end bores, the stones and carriers are extended so as to overlie the lower end plate 52 and are guided in radial grooves in the end plates. The pair of cams 65 are formed integrally with a body portion 64 screw-threaded to an operating rod 63 and slidable on a rod 70 secured in the end plate 52. In a further modification, similar to that of Fig. 8, the hone is universally jointed to a driving shank which in turn is universally jointed to an adapter connected to the driving spindle of the machine, the cam operating rod passing with clearance through the shank and joints so as to be capable of operation when the hone is out of line with the driving spindle.

Abstract: 1,154,282. Heating and cooling objects and fluent materials; heating or cooling liquids by contact with gases. R. E. FUTER. 26 April, 1967 [26 May, 1966], No. 19313/67. Headings F4H, F4K and F4U. Objects or liquid or solid materials are entrained by a heating or cooling gas current and are repeatedly and alternately accelerated by the gas current and decelerated, so that a high average velocity of the current relative to the material or objects is maintained. As illustrated in Fig. 2, particulate material is charged through a hopper 20 into the first bed A of a series A-X. Each bed is formed on a metal sheet 27 formed with slots 11 through which air is blown from a plenum 15. Air is fed to the plenum by a blower 16 through a unit 18 in which it is heated or cooled and in which it may also be dried or humidified. The particles in each bed are accelerated to the right by the predominantly downstream air flow and are decelerated at the end of each bed by a baffle 23. The apparatus may be open topped or provided with an apertured roof. Additional air flow openings are provided at the bottoms of walls 12 connecting the sheet 27. Deceleration of the particles may be aided by blowing gas in an upstream direction from the baffles 23 and by reversing the direction of the downstream passages 11 of each bed, Fig. 4 (not shown). In other embodiments, Figs. 5-10 (not shown), the beds may be upwardly inclined in the direction of flow, may be upwardly concave in longitudinal section, and may be arranged in either a vertical or horizontal zig-zag formation so that the direction of flow on any one bed is different from the two adjacent beds. In the embodiment of Fig. 13 the particles are blown in a generally helical path by gas passing through aperture 76 in a whirl chamber 65 provided with a longitudinal step 79 and a longitudinal baffle 81 to provide the necessary deceleration in each cycle of the particles round the chamber. The invention is applicable to the treatment of sand, ash, cement, vegetables, berries, soap chips, metallic or plastic castings, and wrapped objects, and liquids such as water, milk and chemical solutions or mixtures.

Class 98(2) The effective speed of a photographic gelatino-silver halide emulsion when printing an image therefrom on to a silver halide layeris increased by incorporating into the support or subbing layer zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, the refractive index of the support or subbing layer differing from that of the zinc oxide or titanium dioxide by at least 0.4, the gelatino-silver halide emulsion containing the equivalent of less than 5.4 g. of silver per square metre of surface and the pigmented layer having a total reflectance of about 40 to 90 per cent of all visible light. The emulsion is normally coated directly on the pigment layer, but a thin intervening layer may be applied provided its refractive index is less than 0.1 different from either of the other layers. In the examples, titanium dioxide or zinc oxide is dispersed in gelatin and coated on a film base, a silver halide emulsion is then coated on top of the pigment layer. In other examples a cellulose ester film base containing titanium dioxide is subbed and coated with (a) a gelatino-silver bromiodide emulsion, (b) a medium-speed emulsion overcoated with a fast emulsion and (c) emulsions sensitive to red, green and blue and containing respectively cyan, magenta and yellow colour couples, with a yellow filter layer between the green and blue sensitive layers.
