Abstract: 670,389. Packages, ROSE BROS. (GAINS. BOROUGH), Ltd. Dec. 7, 1950 [Dec. 13, 1949], No. 31957/49. Class 94(i) In packages of the kind in which a wrapper is folded about an article, e.g. a block of icecream, in the form of a tube with portions of the tube extending from the ends of the article and formed into end closures, the wrapper adjacent one end of the article, including the end folds at that end, is strengthened so that the end folds may be used for handling the article. In one form, Fig. 2, the portion 11 of a composite wrapper 11, 12, is reinforced by a thin card 14 which projects beyond the end of the block and partly along the with the wrapper when the extending portions 18 are tucked in to form triangular tabs 19.

Filed: 1957-10-14
Abstract: 858,551. Warfare teaching. RESEARCH ENGINEERS Ltd., BUCKINGHAM, J., and HEATLY, W. G. Oct. 14, 1958 [Oct. 14, 1957], No. 32066/57. Class 119. Relates to the apparatus for providing synthetic exercises in tactical naval manoeuvres described in Specification 791,037 and to a simplified version of the optical projector unit described in Specification 807,862 for projecting a moving spot of light on to a screen to represent a naval craft. This simplified version is designed to project the spot of light as a particular defined image representing a particular craft or group of craft and which by its shape will give a visual indication of its bearing. According to the invention, the image of a graticule 10, Fig. 3, having a defined shape is projected on to the screen, the graticule being mounted for rotational movement about the optical axis A of the optical system 8, 11, the optical system 8, 11, graticule 10 and projection lamp 6 being mounted for angular movement in any direction to move the image over the screen at a speed in correct proportion to and within the range of speed of the craft which the image is intended to represent. This angular movement is under the control of helm and speed control mechanism operated by the trainee and the helm control mechanism is connected with the graticule mounting whereby the graticule is rotated and oriented in accordance with helm movement so that the projected image also indicates the bearing the craft depicted. The optical system, graticule 10 and lamp 6 are carried by two parallel rods 4 supported by a gimbal mounting 3, the graticule mounting 13 being rotatably mounted within a bracket 9 and including a toothed gear portion 14 engaged by a pinion 15 carried by a supporting shaft 16 driven by a motor 18, Fig. I, through a flexible drive shaft 20, the motor receiving transmission from a helm control unit (not shown). Two further motors 21 receiving transmissions from the helm and speed control unit effect movements of a vertical lead screw 29 and a horizontal lead screw 36 associated with the rods 4 which carry the optical system graticule and lamp, so that these are moved angularly on the gimbal mounting 3 to move the image across the screen, such movement being accompanied by appropriate orientation of the image by rotation of the graticule by means of the motor 18.

Abstract: 283,173. Soc. Anon. pour l'Equipment Electrique des Vehicules. Jan. 6, 1927, [Convention date]. Vacuum cleaners. - The body of a vacuum cleaner is mounted on a supporting cradle at a definite inclination to the horizontal. The casing 6 is supported on a cradle or support of steel wire. This cradle may take a variety of forms which enable the casing to be supported in an inclined or vertical position. The cradle 40 may also be shaped as shown in Fig. 4 to permit the casing to rock to a limited degree. The casing, Fig. 1, contains a dust bag 7 distanced by a spring 8 and secured by a spring 9, an electric motor 4 driving a fan 5 a suction pipe 2 and exhaust pipe 3. The Specification as open tn inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states that means for regulating the pressure in the suction chamber are provided and comprise an air vent 15, Fig. 2 (Cancelled), controlled by a rotatable shutter 16. this end may also be achieved by providing an adjustable flap valve in the exhaust pipe 3; other forms of sliding or screw down valves may be substituted for the rotatable shutter 16; the section nozzle is provided with a depending annular flange which ensures that all the air drawn into the nozzle passes through the brush where the bristles are in contact with the surface being cleaned. In instances where it is desirable to supply pressure air to the suction nozzle to effect a preliminary stirring of the dust a distributing valve is provided which enables the nozzle to be connected alternatively to the suction or pressure sides of the fan. A cylindrical caging 42, Fig. 22 (Cancelled), is provided with lateral ducts 2, 3 leading to the respective sides of the fan and orifices 48, 49 open to the atmosphere. The central duct 45 leads to the nozzle. A cylindrical valve 50 slides axially in the chamber 42 and is provided with a partition 53 and with orifices 55, 56 in communication with the ducts 3, 2 and with two other openings 51, 52 which align with the openings 48 and the duct 45, or with the duct 45 and the opening 49 in the respective extreme positions of the valve. The movement of the valve to effect the change in the nozzle from suction to pressure is effected by a wire 61 secured to a bell crank lever 60 which is operated by a Bowden wire secured to a lever mounted adjacent to the nozzle. The clack valves mounted on a swinging arm may be employed in place of the sliding valve, and in this case the Bowden wire may be placed inside the suction tube. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
