Title: Method of coagulating and curding milk
IPC: A23C19/032
Filed: 1922-10-03
Abstract: Milk is coagulated by adding to it an enzyme produced by the growth of Mucor Rouxii on a suitable medium such as rice.  The rice is cooked in water or a mixture of milk and water, cooled and inoculated with spores of the fungus.  Access of air to the mass is restricted if it is desired to minimize formation of spores in order to avoid a dark coloration of the rice.  The product may be prepared in powdered form by grinding the rice, or the enzyme may be extracted with water, and the liquid, which may be concentrated at a low temperature, may be used in liquid form or sprayed on rice flour or other absorbent material.

Patent GB-335713-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to radial-arm drilling machines
IPC: B23Q1/28
Filed: 1929-09-06
Abstract: 335,713. Cincinnati Bickford Tool Co. March 12, 1929, [Convention date]. Drilling-machines. - A clamping-mechanism for a radial arm drilling-machine has a clamp element operated by a reversible overload electric motor, the circuit to which includes a manually operable, self-opening switch, the motor being adapted to remain under the influence of the current without overheating until the operator allows the switch to open and means being provided for stalling the motor when the clamp is tightened or untightened. The clamp comprises a sleeve 1, Fig. 1, split at 2 so as to be capable of contraction on a pillar 5. Lugs 6, at one side of the split 2 rotatably support a shaft 7, provided with an eccentric 29 whose strap 10 carries a bolt 11 passing through a lug 8<1> on the other side of the split 2. Rotation of the shaft 7 closes the clamp through the head 12 of the bolt 11, a sleeve 13, and a thrust bearing 14. Bolts 15 adjustably attached to the lugs 6 pass through lugs 8 and limit the opening of the clamp. The upper end of the shaft 7 carries a worm sector 18, Figs. 1 and 2, engaged by a worm 17 on the shaft of a motor M. In operation, a press switch is depressed against the action of a spring to close the circuit to the motor, whereupon, the shaft 7 is rotated and the clamp closed. When the eccentric 9 is on or past its dead centre a lug 21 on the sector 18 engages a stop 19 to prevent further rotation of the shaft 7 and cause the motor to stall, the motor being so constructed that it will not suffer damage through being stalled for about three minutes and the strength of the spring on the press switch being so arranged that the operator will not be able to depress the switch continuously for this time. A second similar switch is provided for rotating the motor M in the opposite direction, a lug 23 coming into contact with a stop 22 when the clamp is open. Alternatively, the stop 22 may be replaced by a spring stop. In a further alternative, the worm 17, Fig. 6, meshes with a complete worm-wheel 25 provided with recesses b engaged by spring-pressed balls 27 located in radial recesses in a disc B secured to the shaft 7. The recesses b are steeper in one direction of rotation than in the other so that the closing torque applied to the clamp will always be less than the opening torque, thus ensuring that the motor will never fail to open the clamp. The pressure of the springs 26 on the balls 27 may be adjusted by a sleeve P whose conical end 30 is pressed by a nut 33 - against balls 29 forming abutments for the springs. An arm 35 on the shaft 7 comes into contact with a fixed stop on the casing 20 in the clamping direction and against a spring stop 24 in the unclamping direction, the motor then being allowed to run continuously whilst the press switch is depressed due to slipping of the balls 27. A hand lever 16, Fig. 1, keyed to the bolt 11 provides for actuating the clamp by hand.

Abstract: 790,514. Brush-making apparatus. MARKS, T. Sept. 24, 1955, No. 27264/55. Class 19. In a fully automatic machine for making brushes having bristle tufts secured at intervals between a pair of twisted together wires, the wires 10, 38 pass from drums 12, 40 over sets of tensioning rollers 14, 16, 20 and 46, 48, 50 to the vicinity of a rotatable pin wheel 54, the wire 38, after passing through part of a groove 52, Fig. 6, (not shown) in the wheel 54, being close to and parallel with the wire 10, the ends of the wires then being presented to a chuck 24. Bristle tufts are extracted from a holder 126 by a slot 143 in an oscillatable picker 80 and are delivered by the picker 80 in conjunction with guide plates 144, 145 between pins 142 on the double flanged pin wheel 54, the picker 80 entering between the flanges. The wheel 54 places each tuft between the passing wires 10, 38 which because of the tension therein hold the tufts therebetween. On the chuck 24 seizing the ends of the wires 10, 38 a clutch 74 in the drive from a motor 60 is actuated to cause oscillation of the picker 80, rotation of the pin wheel 54, and movement of the chuck-supporting carriage 162 away from the pin wheel 54. At the end of the desired movement of the carriage the drive is interrupted, a vice 258, 260 grips the wire and the chuck 24 is rotated. An arm 254 falling on to the wires 10, 38 as the vice closes limits the extent of the twist of the wires. After a desired number of revolutions the chuck 24 opens, a cutter 288, 290 severs the wires 10, 38 so that the completed brush can drop clear of the machine, the vice 258, 260 opens and the chuck 24 is advanced to seize the severed ends of the wires so that the cycle of operations can be repeated. A control motor rotates a cam shaft 210 carrying the cams controlling valves actuating motors regulating movements of the chuck 24, the carriage 162, the stock picker 80, the pin wheel 54, the vice 258, 260 and the cutter 288, 290. The position of the tufts along the wire is controlled by a cam follower 108 of a cam 100 operating a clutch 102 'connecting the picker drive shaft 106 to a shaft 86 from which the drive to the pin wheel 54 and carriage 162 is taken. The cam 100 is driven by a pawl and ratchet gear 92 from the shaft 86. The carriage 162 is coupled to a rack 152 reciprocated by a gear wheel 150 driven through a clutch 220 from the pin wheel shaft 146, the clutch 220 being non-operative when the chuck 24 is returned to seize the severed ends of the wire. A cam 96 actuates the clutch 74 to stop the drive from the motor 60 when the carriage movement has caused the required lengths of wire to be drawn past the pin wheels.
