Title: A pump for supplying a liquid additive to a flow of liquid
Inventor: ROSS MICHAEL CROSBIE
IPC: F04B9/105
Filed: 1982-10-04
Abstract: This pump comprises a dosing chamber 11 communicating with inlet and outlet openings 12, 13 for a liquid additive. A displaceable member 20, which dispenses the liquid additive, is connected by connection means 30 to displaceable member 40 in an operating chamber 50 with first and second chambers 51, 52 and ports 53, 54. Operating switching means 60 controls the supply of operating fluid to said ports 53, 54 in such manner that when one chamber (51, 52) is supplied with operating fluid the other chamber (52, 51) is evacuated: successive switching thereof effects reciprocation of the connection means 30 and dispenses measured quantities of liquid additive. The operating switching means 60 is fluid actuated. A pilot switching means 70 is mechanically associated with said reciprocating connection means 30 and is coupled by fluid couplings 81, 82 to switching means 60 such that, at the end of each stroke of the reciprocating connection means 30, the switching means 60 is actuated to change the supply of operating fluid 55 from one to the other of operating chambers 51, 52. <IMAGE>

Title: Orthopaedic footwear
Inventor: PLATTS ROBIN GEORGE SADLER
IPC: A43B7/28
Filed: 1982-10-05
Abstract: A removable shoe insert for enabling an abnormal foot to fit a shoe of a given size consists of a semi-rigid insole 11 shaped to fit the shoe and space-filling members such as in the toe-region 12 bonded to the insole. The space-filling members where required are preferably made of a resilient polyurethane foam if located in the toe or plantar region or of a rigid polyurethane-foam if located at the heel, and may conveniently be made by forming an insole of the appropriate size, placing the insole together with a lining bag for the shoe and either a cast of the foot or the covered foot itself within the shoe, and introducing into the shoe an appropriate quantity of polymeric material so that it can cure in situ to form a space-filling member of the correct shape. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2122282-A (GB)
Title: Overload release coupling
Inventor: BRINDLEY DEREK FRANCIS
IPC: F16D43/21
Filed: 1983-05-20
Abstract: An overload release coupling including driving and driven members (10, 12) and means whereby they can be made to rotate freely one relative to the other when subjected to a predetermined maximum torque.

Title: Automatic flat seaming apparatus
Inventor: HUMPHREYS JOHN CHARLES
IPC: D05B23/00
Filed: 1985-02-01
Abstract: An apparatus for flat seaming together two tubular halves of a pair of panti-hose to form the panti- hose comprises two carousel units each having a number of radial horizontal plate carriers. The body portion of a panti-hose half is loaded onto a carrier of each carousel unit, the carrier then passing through at least one station at which the panti-hose is gripped in position and an opening cut along a preselected line from the panti-hose waistband. At a seaming station the carriers of the two carousel units are brought into juxtaposition with the opening edges aligned, and the carriers then rotated in opposite directions to enable the edges to be seamed together. As the edges are seamed, continued rotation of the carriers causes the seamed portion of the panti-hose to "peel" itself from the carriers and, once seaming is complete, the completed pant-hose may be suitably collected. <IMAGE>
