Title: Improvements in or relating to sack-filling devices
Inventor: NEWTH CHARLES CLIFFORD
IPC: B65B67/12
Filed: 1951-05-07
Abstract: 712,046. Sack holders. TAYLOR, J. E. April 29, 1952 [May 7, 1951], No. 10645/51. Class 58 A sack holder comprises substantially annular elements, which may be shallow ring members, adapted to fit one within the other and at least one of which has a tapered or coned portion or portions so that a wedging action is exerted and the sack gripped between the elements with its mouth held open during the filling operation, one of the annular elements being carried from a rigid stand or support, which may comprise a vertical standard having a base at its lower end which projects sufficiently to maintain the standard in a vertical position, by which it is held substantially horizontal and along which it can be moved vertically and locked in any chosen position to adjust the height at which the annular element and the open end of the sack is supported above the ground. As shown in Fig. 1 the holder comprises two tapered or coned shallow ring members 10, 13 the larger 10 of which is carried horizontally from the upper end of a rigid stand 11 with its wider end uppermost so that, with the open upper end 12a of the sack 12 laid within the ring member, the other or smaller ring member 13 which is loose may be dropped into position to grip and retain the upper end of the sack in such elevated position with the material of the sack sandwiched between the larger and smaller ring members. The ring members 10, 13 may also be formed as plain annular elements which fit one within the other and the diameters of which differ sufficiently to allow the material of the sack to be easily interposed between them and in order to grip the sack and prevent the inner element dropping through, the lower edge of the outer element is crimped inwardly at spaced intervals and the upper edge of the inner element is crimped outwardly at spaced intervals to form V-shaped inward and outward projections respectively.

Title: Transformer protection
IPC: H01F27/40
Filed: 1933-04-10
Abstract: 405,828. Protective cut-out systems. ECKMANN, S. H., 40, Bassett Gardens, Osterley, Middlesex. April 10, 1933, No. 10660. [Class 38 (v).] In transformers and like apparatus, the windings are protected against overheating by a fusible element located on or adjacent the winding surface, which fusible element is adapted on melting to make or break an alarm or cut-out circuit. Figs. 1 and 2 show one arrangement in which fusible wires 2 clamped between insulating members 5<1>, 5<11> on the surface of the winding 10 are connected in series in a circuit energized by an auxiliary transformer 1 and including a variable resistance 9 and a relay 8-adapted when the circuit is broken by melting of any of the fusible wires to actuate the alarm or cut-out circuit. An alternative arrangement is shown in Figs. 4 and 6 in which fusible elements 10 normally frictionally held in insulating casings 11 are adapted on melting to bridge contacts 12, 13 and thus complete the actuating circuit of a relay 14. The temperature of the winding surface at which the protective device operates may be varied by varying the composition or cross-section of the fusible elements or by adjusting the resistance 9 in circuit with the elements so as to vary the heating effect of the current therein.

Title: Improvements in or relating to busying circuits for automatic signalling systems
IPC: H04Q3/42
Filed: 1949-04-22
Abstract: 685,206. Automatic exchange systems. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN. April 22, 1949 [April 26, 1948], No. 10742/49. Class 40 (iv). A test device which positions a finder switch on a marked contact includes a relay connected in the output circuit of a thermionic valve which becomes conductive when the marking is found, the operation of the relay busying the contact and causing the valve to revert to its original cut-off condition. As shown, tandem-connected finder switches OZ1, OZ2 have negative potential contact markings applied as described in Specification 685,295, and the switches are positioned by a test device comprising the valves B1-B4, as described in Specification 660,376. Finder switch OZ2 is started when its drive magnet D2 is energized by valve B4, which becomes conductive when starting relays B and Q (not shown) pull up. Valve B1 of the trigger-pair B1, B2 is normally non-conducting, but becomes conducting and cuts-off valve B2 when a contact marked by a negative potential derived over resistance 12 is found. Valves B3 and B4 repeat the conditions of valves B1 and B2 respectively, so that busy relay H2 is energized and the drive magnet is released. During the operating time of H2, a temporary busy marking at approximately earth potential is applied to the calling contact by an increase of potential at the cathode of valve B1. When relay H2 pulls up, a permanent busy marking is extended to the calling contact and the valves B1 to B4 revert to their original condition in readiness for a further test operation. Relay H2 also locks up and transfers the test device to finder switch OZ1 which is then started and positioned in like manner.

Abstract: Vinyl chloride polymer compositions comprise a major proportion of a polymerized vinyl chloride, the polymer being plasticized with at least one triester of trinesic acid in which each alcohol residue is an alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkylcycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl group containing 7 or 8 carbon atoms.  The preferred plasticizer esters are those derived from branched chain oxo alcohols and are preferably used in an amount of from 20-90 parts per 100 parts by weight of vinyl chloride polymer.  The polymer preferably contains at least 85% vinyl chloride and minor amounts of other monomers, e.g. vinylidene chloride, vinyl esters, allyl esters, acrylic esters, acrylonitrile and vinyl alkyl ethers may be copolymerized with the vinyl chloride. The polymer may be a tripolymer, e.g. of vinyl and vinylidene chlorides and 2-ethylhexyl acrylate.  Conventional plasticizers, e.g. octyl adipate, phthalate or phosphate and epoxides, antioxidants, e.g. phosphites, amines or phenols and stabilizers, e.g. dibutyl tin laurate, may also be added to the compositions.  Compositions plasticized with tri-(2,2-dimethylpentyl) and tri-(2-ethylhexyl) trinesate are described in examples, other ingredients including lead silicate-sulphate and clay.  The compositions may be used to coat electrical wires.ALSO:The invention comprises a triester of trimesic acid in which each alcohol residue is an alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkylcycloalkyl or cycloalkylalkyl group each containing 7 or 8 carbon atoms.  The esters may be prepared by reacting trimesic acid with the alcohol, optionally in the presence of an acid catalyst e.g. sulphuric acid and a water entraining agent.  The use of branched chain alcohols derived from the oxo process is preferred.  Examples describe the preparation of tri-(2,2-dimethylpentyl) and tri-(2-ethylhexyl)trimesate.
