Abstract: 838,427. Typewriters &c. LAMSON PARAGON Ltd. June 17, 1958 [June 17, 1957], No. 18982/57. Class 100(4) Apparatus for feeding and guiding continuous stationery assemblies to a tabulator, typewriter or like machine comprises record webs a fed over a roller 6a and then separately over guide rollers 8a-8d and reels 9a-9c of carbon transfer material b which passes over guide rollers 14a, 14b-16a, 16b to be interleaved with the record webs. The reels 9a-9c are unwound slowly each time the record webs are fed by worms 12 of a shaft 13 engaging gears 11. The parts are mounted on or between side plates 1 which are pivotally mounted on a rod 2 extending between supports 3 so that the guide means can be pivoted from an operative position in which they slope downwardly to the out feed end to an upward position, when a stud 18 engages a shoulder 19 on the supports 3 in which they are exposed to permit the webs to be loaded over them.

Abstract: 927,732. Reservoir mops. A. KOUZOULIS, and A. POLYCARPOU. Aug. 24, 1961 [May 26, 1961], No. 19060/61. Class 19. A bottle or can d having a broadened base c carrying on its underside, means for spreading liquid on a surface to be treated is provided with a needle valve arranged at or near its base, the valve being operated through a stem from the top of the bottle or can for allowing the controlled issue of liquid at the base. Fig. 1 shows a can d having a filler opening b and an enlarged base c carrying a pad n. A needle valve a having a long stem controls an orifice m at the bottom of the can by a knob outside a screw fitting k on top of the can. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the needle valve arrangement is off-set from the centre of the can. The centre of the can is occupied by a hollow through which passes the stem of a mop. The aperture controlled by the needle valve is arranged in a tube near the bottom of the can. The tube is bent from the radial direction to a direction parallel to the axis of the can and issues adjacent the mop.

Title: Device for controlling the speed-changing gear and friction of motor-cycles and the like by means of a hand-grip
IPC: B62M25/04
Filed: 1947-07-17
Abstract: 629,341. Controlling change-speed gear. PIAGGIO & CO. SOC. PER AZIONI. July 17, 1947, No. 19078. Convention date, July 23, 1946. [Class 80 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXI] A device for gear and clutch controls comprises a tube 2 rotatably mounted on the end of a handle-bar 1 and carrying one of the actuating members 4 of the change speed gear which runs inside the handle-bar, the usual handle grip 3 and a supporting casing 7 for the declutching lever 8 being mounted on the outside of the tube. As shown, a rod 4 is fastened to the outer end of the tube 2 and runs inside the handle-bar 1. The rod is connected through a ball joint 5 to a change speed gear transmission shaft 6. The control lever 8 contained in the casing 7 is fulcrummed at 9 and carries a Bowden type connecting rod 11 fixed at 10 to the clutch control. In a modification shown in Fig. 5 the lever 8 carries a lug 12 fitting into notches 13 in a member 14 rigidly fixed to the handle-bar 1. By this arrangement it is impossible to move the hand-grip 3 for the gear-change control unless the declutching lever 8 is first moved to free the lug 12 from the notch 13.

Title: Improved device for laying guns or other instruments on a movable platform
IPC: F41G5/16
Filed: 1920-07-07
Abstract: 147,085. Girardelli, R. May 3, 1919, [Convention date]. Self - levelling apparatus.- Relates to apparatus for rendering the elevation and azimuth angles of a gun or other instrument independent of the rolling or pitching of its support by determining continuously the angles made by the support with a plane fixed in space by a gyroscopic device, and by transmitting to the gun or instrument angular displacements which are equal and opposite to these angles. The invention consists in the construction described as shown in elevation in Fig. 1 and in part plan in Fig. 2. A gyroscope 1, turning on a vertical axis 2, is suspended cardan-fashion from a support 11 fixed to the body of the ship, and to its casing 30 is pivoted a frame 3" carrying two electric contact pins 4, 5. The support 11 is adapted to be rotated in azimuth by a motor M<111>, and the frame 3<11> in elevation by a motor M<iv> in the casing 30, to impart to the line joining the points 4 and 5 azimuth and elevation angles corresponding to those desired to be maintained on the gun. The pin 4 is adapted to move in a gap between metal contact pieces 12, 13 on a cap 6, and the pin 5 in a gap between contact pieces 14, 15 on a cap 7, the gaps being respectively horizontal and vertical in normal conditions. The cap 6 turns on an axis 10 and carries teeth 20 geared through differential gearing to an electric motor M' wired to the contact pieces 12, 13, and the cap 7 turns on a shaft 33 geared similarly to a motor M<11> wired to the contact pieces 14, 15. The electric connexions are such that when, owing to the oscillation of the support, the caps 6, 7 move so that the stabilized pins 4, 5 make contact respectively with one or other of the two contact pieces on each cap, the motors M', M<11> are started in such a direction as to maintain the caps stationary with respect to the pins 4, 5, i.e. to turn the caps continuously in elevation and azimuth respectively through angles equal and opposite to those due to the oscillation of the support, and these angles are applied as corrections to the angles transmitted to the gun or instrument. The two differential gears prevent the caps from being influenced by the movement of the support 11 in azimuth.

Title: A process of obtaining powders of great fineness and apparatus therefor
IPC: B22F9/04
Filed: 1922-07-12
Abstract: 183,134. Podszus, E. July 12, 1921, [Convention date] Impact pulverizers.-In a process for finely disintegrating and powdering materials, especially metals, the particles of material which are to be reduced are suspended in gas, air, or other fluid medium which is caused to circulate continuously in the form of two opposed aligned streams from the opposite sides of a suitable casing, the constant pounding of the particles against one another caused by the great velocity of the circulating system producing the pulverization of the particles. The particles flow with the currents in a rectilinear as well as in a relatively lateral direction, so as to produce friction upon the impinging of the particles. The apparatus shown comprises a casing 1 containing air propellers or the like 4, 5 mounted on shafts 2, 3 which are rapidly driven in opposite directions by means of pulleys 9, 10. Transverse beaters 6, 7 are provided in front of the propellers and the material to be comminuted is introduced through an opening 8. The propellers produce air currents which impinge upon each other at the central part of the casing, and the beaters produce lateral displacements of the air currents. Lateral cavities are provided in the casing 1 at the rear of the propellers to ensure the air circulation. The bearings of the shafts 2, 3 are cooled by means of water &c. circulating in cavities 15, 16. Preferably about twothirds of the casing is filled with air or liquid, and the remaining one-third with the material to be comminuted. The air or other fluid is introduced into the mill through the conduits 17, 18 from the main conduit 19 so as to create a certain over pressure therein, to cause the finer particles to be discharged into the container 21 when the slide 20 is open. An air conduit 22 with a tangential nozzle enters the container 21. The finer particles ascend the container, which has a restricted portion 23 and an upper funnelshaped portion 24, and the coarser particles fall into the inner funnel 25 and may be returned to the casing 1. The air current passes into separating-devices 26, containing sieves or the like 27, and may be returned by a pipe 28 to the mill. In order to obtain the very finest subdivision, even to colloidal fineness, particles already very fine are mixed with a large number of coarser particles, for example small balls, and caused to a.ct upon one another within the circulating system. The balls or coarse particles employed are of the same material as that to be disintegrated.
