Title: Spreading implements
IPC: A01C3/06
Filed: 1972-06-06
Abstract: 1390102 Spreading implements TEXAS INDUSTRIES INC 6 June 1972 [11 June 1971] 26412/72 Heading AID A spreading machine comprises a hopper 9 for material e.g. manure, at least one shaft 10, carrying ejectors, located wholly or primarily within the hopper and a transmission mechanism which drives the shaft or shafts in a desired one of two opposite directions which is chosen dependent upon the desired spreading- pattern. In a first construction (see Fig. 1) two juxtaposed upwardly inclined shafts 10 carrying ejector flails 21, whose orbits overlap, are mounted in a hopper 9 supported in a wheeled frame and are driven in contra-rotation by an intermediate shaft 48 which is connected between the power take-off point of a tractor and either a shaft 47 or the forward end of a shaft 40 depending upon the desired direction of rotation. The shafts 40, 47 carry intermeshing pinions 45, 46 and the rear end of the shaft 40 is connected via a chain and sprockets to a shaft 35. The lower rear end of each shaft 10 is journalled in a corresponding gearbox 30 with a bevel pinion meshing with another bevel pinion mounted on the respective end of a common transverse shaft which is driven via a further pair of bevel pinions by the shaft 35. The hopper comprises two cylindrical bottom portions 16 whose centres of curvature are coincident with the longitudinal axes of the shafts 10 and side walls 15 strengthened by angle bars 17, 18. A screen 23 is pivoted about a transverse axle 22 from a position (as shown) in which it hangs down to either a position coplanar with the hopper's rear wall 8 or a vertical upwards position and is held in either of these positions by locking pins engaging respective holes 28 or 29 in the hopper 9. Thus the effective spreading area of the implement is determined by the position the screen 23 and the chosen direction of rotation of the shafts 10. In a second similar construction (see Fig. 3) suitable for spreading liquids an extension trough 50 is bolted to the hopper 9 by bolts 62. The bottom of the trough 50 has a depression 51 from which liquid flows into the hopper 9 via two channels 59. -

Abstract: 265,605. Bartmann, L. Feb. 8, 1926, [Convention date]. Reduction processes; hulling, husking, and decorticating; treatment by drying and heating; removed from the pasty endosperm of cereals by treating with air and gases. - The husks are crushing the grains between polished rolls and directing a jet of air on to the crushed mass, thus causing the husks to be detached while the endosperm remains adhering to the rolls. The air jet is so positioned and shaped and the pressure of the air used so arranged as to obtain the desired result. Warm air may be used, thus drying the endosperm, and the pressure rollers may be heated to obtain a similar result. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states also that the rolls may be of metal, wood, glass, hard rubber, ivory, marble or the like, and may be perforated or roughened. Soft materials, such as soft rubber, may also be used. Endless bands running over cylinders may replace the rolls. Discs can be used in pairs or in co-operation with rolls or bands. The process may be used for removing the kernels from berries, grapes red currants, etc. When using perforated rolls compressed air may be pressed through the perforations. In a modification, a second set of pressing members, acting after the first set, detach compressed endosperm from the first set of rolls leaving any compressed husks thereon. The endosperm may be removed from the rolls by strippers or by another jet of air. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 1516104 Fenders using fluid dampers I BRUMMENAES 24 June 1975 [26 June 1974] 26727/75 Heading F2S [Also in Division B7] In a fender having at least three hydraulic dampers 16, 17-21 connected between an impact receiving plate 15 (Fig. 2) and a supporting structure 10, 11, each damper is connected to a pressure gauge 32, 36, 40, so that the movements of the ship can be monitored during mooring operations. The fender has a main damper unit 16, which communicates with a pressure gauge 32 and with a reservoir 30 via a spring biased one-way valve 29 which opens at a pressure of 300 tons on the fender. There are three auxiliary damper units 18, 20, 21 which respond to vertical movement between ship and quay and are in communication with a reservoir 38 via valves 41, 42 and with a pressure gauge 40. Two further auxiliary units 17, 19 respond to horizontal movement between ship and quay. As regards movement of the ship towards the quay the resistance offered by compression of the main unit 16 is first of all assisted by compression of the auxiliary units 17-21 and then opposed by their extension (see Fig. 2). The hydraulic circuits do not allow recoil of the fender when the impact force has been removed. There may however be provision (not shown) for re-extending the dampers in readiness for further impact. As well as giving a visual indication of the pressure in the dampers, the pressure gauges may produce a warning signal or automatically stop loading or unloading operations.

Abstract: 416,753. Affixing sheet material by adhesive. UNIVERSELLE CIGARETTENMASCHINEN-FABRIK J. C. MULLER & CO., 48, Zwickauerstrasse, and SCHMIEDEL, J., 11, Feldherrenstrasse, both in Dresden, Germany. Oct. 3, 1933, No. 27177. [Class 73.] Bands or excise-stamp strips d, Figs. 1, 2, and 4, for attachment to boxes by adhesive are taken from a roll m provided with spaced perforations d<2>, one for each strip, reciprocating tongs e withdrawing the strips into position before they are severed by a cutting device f, and a pin q<3> on a pivoted bell-crank lever q<1>, q2 engaging each perforation successively to check the movement of the strip, and the arrangement is such that if the tongs have not reached the end of their stroke when the pin q<3> enters into engagement with a perforation, a resiliently-mounted guide roller or the like n is moved about its pivot n2, enabling the tongs to complete their movement. The strip d, after being withdrawn from the roll m and being provided on one side with adhesive, is placed beneath a box a which is moved downwardly between rollers g, g<1>, so that the bottom edge and side edges of the box have the strip d attached thereto. A sliding member h then presses one flap of the strip on the upper edge of the box, the other flap being secured in place when a plunger i presses the box between brushes k. The bell-crank lever q<1>, q2 is provided with a pin q<4> adapted to be engaged by a slide r which is reciprocated by means of a spring and a cam t and lever s<1>, to produce, in connection with a return spring q<6>, oscillation of the bell-crank lever. The arm q<1> engages a lever u<1> provided with a braking device u3. When the pin q3 enters a perforation d2 in the strip d, the device u<3> falls into contact with the strip, preventing further withdrawal from the roll m by the tongs e until the pin q3 is withdrawn. The slide r carries a spring-pressed electric contact v<1>, which is adapted to engage a contact q' when the pin q<3> is obstructed from entering a perforation, so that a circuit is completed to stop the apparatus. In a modification shown in Fig. 5, the roller n instead of being located between the cutting device and the braking device is between the braking device and the roll m. The braking device u3 and the pin q<3> are bevelled on the side remote from the cutting device f. Between the roller n and the roll m is a roll R provided with pins R<1> for engaging holes in the strip. The roll R can rotate in one direction only. The friction of the roll is such that at the commencement of a pull on the strip d by the tongs the roller n swings about its pivot against spring action. The pin q3 enters-a perforation in the strip during the pull, and if the tongs have not then completed their movement, further movement disengages the pin which re-engages the perforation when the roller n returns to normal at the end of the pull.

[Class 139.] Winding - apparatus, electric. - In a clock driven directly by a non-self-starting synchronous motor, an auxiliary reserve driving mechanism wound thereby is adapted to rotate the motor at substantially its normal speed when it takes over the drive upon interruption of the supply, enabling the motor to pull into step if the supply failure is only of short duration. The motor 2, 3, Fig. 3, normally drives the hands 12, 13, through gearing 5 .. 10, 15, 16, 17. The auxiliary driving mechanism comprises a spring 39 wound by a pawl 42 mounted on a lever 44, pivoted at 43, biased by a spring 46, and rocked by a cam 48 on the minute shaft 11, the spring 46 yielding against the reaction of spring 39 when the latter is fully wound. The inner end of spring 39 is fixed to a shaft carrying a pinion 37 meshing with a wheel 20 rotatable on a shaft 19 and normally locked by a lever 25 engaging a pin 24 thereon. The shaft 19 is rotated by the wheels 6, 7 carried thereby, and carries a ratchet wheel 23 which normally slips idly past the pawl 21 mounted on the wheel 20. The lever 25 is held in the locking position shown against the bias of a spring 26, by the attraction of the stator field on an armature 30 carried by a shaft 29 which also carries lever 25. When the supply fails the lever 25 is retracted to release wheel 20 which is driven by spring 39 and rotates both the motor and the hands 12, 13 through the pawl 21 and ratchet wheel 23. The strength of the spring is such as to drive the motor at substantially its normal speed. In a modified construction the auxiliary driving spring 35, Fig. 1, is mounted on the shaft 31 carrying the gears 8, 9. Its end 36 is fixed to the shaft or pinion 8, the end 34 frictionally engaging a collar 33 rigid with a pinion 32 free on shaft 31 and meshing with gear 20 which is normally locked as in Fig. 3. When the supply fails, the spring 35, which is normally wound up by its frictional engagement with collar 33, drives the motor and train through the collar 33, wheel 20, and the pawl 21 and ratchet wheel 23 as above.
