Title: Gauge for tapered threaded connections
Inventor: ROBERTS ROYCE G
IPC: G01B5/20
Filed: 1982-09-08
Abstract: The invention provides a thread gauge for determining the proper length, taper, and diameter of threaded portions 12, 14 of members of taper connections for casing or tubing. The threaded members of a connection usually have a thread length which can be defined by the distance the threads extend respective to a vanish point located near the end of the connection. A gauge (16) for a male end portion (12) of such a connection has a conical body which has a smooth internal surface (24) formed between a large and small diameter shoulder (22 and 20). The smooth surface (24) defines a frustum of a cone. A graduated slot (48) on the gauge determines that the threaded portion (12) is of proper length and nominal diameter, and is properly positioned respective to the vanish point of the threads. A plug gauge portion 18 fits into an internal taper 14 to gauge the female portion of the connection. The parts 16 & 18 may be integral. <IMAGE>

Title: Spiral entry for raw coal bunkers
Inventor: GUTSCHE HANS-DIETER
IPC: B65G47/44
Filed: 1982-11-23
Abstract: The wear on the spiral entry of raw coal bunkers is effectively reduced in that beneath the discharge drum 2 and before the entry chute 3 a collecting table 1 having defining walls raised at the sides and on the rear is arranged in an approximately horizontal or slightly inclined position. This collecting table is formed so that according to inclination it can retain larger or smaller quantities of loose bulk material, but in any case can preserve a natural slope which ensures a regular introduction, at reduced speed, of the bulk material into the spiral chute. Such a collecting table is especially well adapted to regularise the charging of the spiral entry from several conveyor belts, while a load- dependent controlling of the inclination of the collecting table is possible by association of a belt balance 14 with the conveyor belt or belts. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2139095-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to semi-implants
Inventor: HEIMKE GUNTHER
IPC: A61K6/00
Filed: 1984-04-24
Abstract: The invention relates to a transcutaneous or transgingival implant having a body 1 made of a bioinert material, whose subcutaneous or subgingival part 2 is anchored in bone tissue, and, in the region of the passage of the body 1 through the skin or mucosa 4, a ring 5 having at least a surface layer, which is contacted by the skin or mucosa, of a bioactive material. Bioinert materials such as titanium or dense, high-purity Al2O3-ceramic material permit good integration of the implant body with bone. The mechanical properties of these bioinert materials also permit their use for load-transmitting functions. Bioactive materials, such as hydroxyapatite ceramics or tricalcium phosphate ceramics, permit a more favourable deposition of tissue at the passage through the skin but their mechanical strength is too low. By providing the ring 5 of bioactive material on a semi-implant of bioinert material in the region of the passage of the implant through the skin or mucosa it is possible to utilise the more favourable tissue compatibility even for load-transmitting transcutaneous or transgingival implants. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2151204-A (GB)
Title: Tailgate lifting device
Inventor: MORITA KATSUYOSHI
IPC: B60P1/46
Filed: 1984-11-26
Abstract: In a tailgate lifting device, a pair of chains (123a, 123b) and a plurality of chain sprockets (124a, 124b, 125a, 125b, 126, 134a, 134b) are adopted as the hydraulic power transmitting means in order to minimize the cross-sectional area of the telescopic guide post members (30a, 30b). This is because no bending stress is applied to the chain and therefore the sprocket diameter can be minimized. Further, it is preferable to rotatably dipose the upper chain guide sprocket (134a, 134b) within the outer guide post (31a, 31b) in such away that the axis thereof is parallel to the longitudinal direction of the truck deck. The smaller telescopic guide members allow a greater space at the back of the truck deck for facilitating handling of a cargo to be loaded into or unloaded from the truck. <IMAGE>

Title: A method of preparing a food flavour base and a medium for use therein
Inventor: KREITZMAN SUSAN LINDA
IPC: A23L13/30
Filed: 1986-01-23
Abstract: A method for preparing a food flavour base comprises cooking one or more carbohydrate-containing food products in a fat-free aqueous medium and permitting the medium to evaporate almost to dryness so as to provide a concentrated flavour base. In that way the food which preferably may comprise one or more flavour vegetables can be sautéd to develop its flavour without the use of fat. Also provided is a fat-free composition which comprises an aqueous base, one or more flavouring materials and optionally a gelling agent, when put up visibly for use as a cooking medium in the sautéing of flavour vegetables. The composition can be prepared by subjecting one or more portions of one or more animal and/or vegetable food products to a series of boiling and simmering steps in water in order to extract flavouring materials therefrom. Then solids are removed as necessary and the remainder cooled to produce a layer of fat and a layer of fat-free medium, after which the layer of fat is removed.
