Title: Holder for electric cell and apparatus including same
IPC: H01M2/10
Filed: 1974-05-31
Abstract: 1474196 Cell mounting clip MABUCHI MOTOR KK 31 May 1974 [1 June 1973 (2)] 24290/74 Heading H1B [Also in Division A6] A cell 1 is mounted on a chassis 5 of a toy car above a cell-receiving opening 3 by a resilient clasping member 2, e.g. of phosphor bronze, hinged at 11 to the chassis. The clasp 2 has a part 7 embracing the cell, a part 8 for engagement by the finger to swing the cell out of the car as shown in Fig. 5 which shows the car inverted, and parts 9 for engagement with opposite sides 10 of the opening 3. In the undeflected state of the clasp, the distance between the parts 9 is greater than that between the sides 10 whereby when the cell is inserted in the car the clasp is deformed as it reaches the Fig. 1 position and the cell is gripped. The negative electrode of the cells is engaged by a tongue 4 on the clasp 2 and the clasp makes contact with the casing of the drive motor 6. The positive cell electrode 13 is engaged by a contact on a slidable contact arm 12 of a switch moved by a finger-member 14, the arm engaging the positive motor terminal 17. To prevent insertion of the cell with reversed polarity the positive electrode 13 comprises a protuberance and this protuberance is received by a corresponding recess in one side of the opening 3.

Title: Means for attaching prong-or eyelet-carrying devices to flexible material
Inventor: WOOD HERBERT HOWARD
IPC: A41H37/02
Filed: 1957-08-01
Abstract: 839,892. Eyeletting. WALKER Ltd., T. July 31, 1958 [Aug. 1, 1957], No. 24361/57. Addition to 788,480. Class 83 (4). [Also in Group VII] The invention according to the parent Specification is modified in that the mandrel which is insertable into the pocket or sleeve of flexible material, is associated with a vertically movable lower member of a clenching press. In the exemplified embodiment the clenching press is of the general kind described in Specification 827,457. In Fig. 1, a mandrel 20 is provided at one end with an anvil 21 for clenching the prongs on a staple member 6 carried in a fixed workholder 5, and is pivoted at its other end to the free end 19 of an arm 18 formed integral with one end of a block 7 which forms the lower movable part of the press whereby it may be swung in a horizontal plane between an operative position in which the anvil 21 is located beneath the workholder 5 and a position in which it overhangs the base 1 of the press so as to enable it to be inserted into the sleeve or pocket of flexible material. When the press is operated the block 7, with the mandrel, is caused to rise and approach the workholder 5. The mandrel 20 is releasably urged by a spring 25 into a groove in the top surface of the end part 19 of the arm 18 to locate the mandrel in the operative position. In another embodiment, Figs. 5 and 6 (not shown), the mandrel is pivoted to turn in a vertical direction about a horizontal axis. The mandrel may be a loose removable bar provided with means for locating it on the movable block or it may consist of a resilient bar fixed at one end to the block. In Fig. 7 the mandrel 30 is carried cantilever fashion at the top of a vertical post 31 resting on the bed 1a of the press and freely slidable in a guideway 32 the movable block 7b, the post 31 being of greater length than the depth of block. When the block 7b is raised the mandrel remains stationary until engaged by the block after which the block 7b and mandrel 30 move upwards in unison.

Title: Improvements in or relating to continuous re-generative gas-fired kilns for burning ore briquettes and also high temperature refractory materials
IPC: F27B13/02
Filed: 1919-10-06
Abstract: 152,509. Priest, C. F. Oct. 6, 1919. Multiple-chamber kilns.-In a continuous gasfired kiln, flues h in the division walls between the chambers serve both as air-supply and as waste-gas flues. Each flue is provided with manholes k with covers m, which are removed when the flue is supplying air; at the same time the damper n, through which the flue h communicates with a longitudinal flue b leading to the chimney, is closed. Vertical flues j lead from the flues h to openings f in the lower part of the division walls between the chambers. Gas from a main surrounding the kiln is supplied to branches e which are connected by passages g to the openings f. In the operation of a group of seven chambers, the covers m are removed from the man-holes in the outer wall of the first chamber of the group, admitting air which is heated by passing over the goods in the first three chambers, and serves for the combustion of the gas which is supplied to the fourth; the combustion products pre-heat the goods in the sixth and seventh chambers and pass up the passages j in the wall between the seventh and eighth chambers to the flue h and thence to the chimney flue b. Auxiliary dampers in the walls of the chambers allow steam from the goods to pass to the flue b.

Abstract: 429,923. Combined gas and solid-fuel furnaces. HELPS, G., Manor Court, Nuneaton, Warwickshire. Sept. 5, 1933, No. 24578. [Class 51 (i)] A furnace or stove for water heating or steam raising is provided with a grate for the combustion of solid fuel and one or more chambers extending into the interior of the furnace and providing additional grate area, gas burners being positioned within or at the entrance to the chamber or chambers so that the combustion products from the burners pass entirely or partially through the solid fuel. In one form, Fig. 1, the boiler comprises two rectangular chambers 1, 2 below which is a combustion chamber bounded by walls of spaced water tubes 7 and a grate 8. Extending into the furnace is a chamber 41 bounded by two grids or grates formed by water tubes 5. Within the chamber are gas burners 6. The top of the chamber is covered by a refractory bridge piece 8<1>. The air supply is regulated by means of louvres 11 outside the tubes 7 and by a hit-and-miss regulator, (not shown), associated with the grate 8. Alternatively the lower grate may comprise tooth-like members mounted on a spindle which may be rotated or joggled to discharge ash. The solid fuel may be fed from a hopper 9 by gravity or by means such as a screw feeder. In a modification, Fig. 11, there are two fuel supply hoppers 31 and 29 one feeding fuel to a V-shaped grate formed by water tubes 27 and 30 and the other to a grate formed by water tubes 28, the space between the sets of tubes 27 and 28 forming the chamber 4<1> having at its base a gas burner 6. In other forms the grate is of W form in section. In a further modification, Fig. 7, the chambers 4<1> are formed by superposed inclined rows of water tubes 22, part of the solid fuel entering the lower portion of these chambers and burning on the water tubes. If desired, radiants or artificial cobble fuel may also be used in association with the gas burners, such fuel being positioned within the chambers 41 and supported in proximity to the water tubes. Specification 407,923, [Group XI], is referred to.
