Title: Improvements in flexible knurler for cigar machines
IPC: A24C1/32
Filed: 1929-06-24
Abstract: 329,549. Triggs, W. W., (International Cigar Machinery Co.). June 24, 1929. Cigar-making machines. -A knurling device for smoothing the head of the cigar comprises a rotatable conoidal coil 21 of flexible wire. As shown, the coil 21 is brazed or soldered to an annular shoulder 22 on a collar 23 secured to a shaft 6 driven through bevel gearing 9, 10. The cigar C is supported by a frame 13 carried by a bush 12 mounted on the bracket 8 in which the shaft 6 is journaled. The end of the cigar is engaged, to prevent displacement of the wrapper, by a centre piece 17 having a shank 16 with an annular channel 20 engaged by a spring 18 lying in a slot 14 in the shaft 6. The centre piece 17 is held stationary, by engagement with the cigar, when the shaft 6 and coil 21 rotate. In a modification, the coil 21 is attached to the centre piece 17, so that both rotate. For use in the manufacture of hand-made cigars, a centre piece such as 16 has a coil 21 attached and is provided with a knob or handle.

Abstract: 858,174. Electric cookers. SIMPLEX ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. June 21, 1957 [June 22, 1956], No. 19348/56. Class 39(3). An electrically heated chamber is provided with a heating element which is movable between a first position wherein the interior of the chamber is heated primarily by convection and a second position in which the element furnishes mainly radiant heat to the interior of the chamber. As shown, an oven chamber 10 having a rear wall 12 houses an element 15, e.g. of the tubular sheathed or open wire type, mounted on a supporting grid 16 which has an outer frame 18 pivotally supported about a horizontal axis, extending from side to side of the oven adjacent the top rear corner, by means of combined conductor and suspension members 22 the upper ends 24 of which are bent at right angles so as to project laterally through the side walls of the oven. Conductor wires 31, Fig. 6 (not shown), connected to the element by releasable connectors 32, pass through the members 22 and emerge from the portions 24 to the supply. Mounted on the frame 18 and movable with it is a shield 33 the rearwardly presented face of which may have a bright finish so that it acts as a heat reflector. With the element in a vertical position, the shield protects the interior of the oven from direct radiation, and the oven may be used for baking &c. With the element in a horizontal position, the oven interior is exposed to direct radiation and the oven may be used for grilling &c. A thermostat 46 may be provided, and the bottom wall 14 of the oven may have a fixed element. The side walls 11 may each have elements, one or both being pivotally mounted.

IPC: A63K1/02
Filed: 1927-07-27
Abstract: 290,863. Nixon, F. H. July 27, 1927. Dog-racing apparatus is arranged to dispense with fixed track and propelling motor vehicle thereon, and comprises a winding drum with driving means and a lure on a sledge or carrier attached by a flexible means to the drum, which may have a speedometer attached. The quarry is mounted on a cross member 18 of a sledge or frame rectangular in plan as shown in Fig. 3 and formed in elevation as shown. The sledge is attached by a pair of unequal connections 19, 20 to the cable 8, which is led round guiding pulleys 9 from the starting box 10 to a finish 14, where the lure disappears through a gate or screen 15. The winding-drum 5 is behind the finishing point and may be driven by power, pedal, or crank, and may have a speedometer 38 and a distance measurer fitted. The unequal connections to the sledge give it a bias to avoid striking the guide pulleys, and a guard board 13 is provided to prevent fouling the first pulley. A spring 21 is interposed in the cable to ease the strain at starting. When several circuits of the course are made the cable is passed twice round the fair lead pulleys, or double. pulleys as shown at 42, Fig. 6, are employed. Bias may be given to the slope by weighting it or by attaching a rudder for ground or air resistance or by shaping the sledge or attaching wheels thereto. Aniseed or other scent material may be sprayed on the quarry, and the limbs may be made movable and operated by clockwork.

Abstract: 1,272,177. Pulse radar; pulse duration discriminators. THOMSON-CSF. 27 April, 1970 [28 April, 1969], No. 20197/70. Heading H3P and H4D. In a radio receiver (e.g. a radar receiver) for detecting recurrent pulse signals S of predetermined pulse duration by integrating the signals S and bottom-clipping the result of the integration, the integrator is preceded by means supplying a signal U defined as a trigonometric function (preferably the sine) of the phase angle # between two vectors A and B, A being #+j# and B being # - j#, where # and # are the sum and difference respectively of S and S<SP>1</SP>, S<SP>1</SP> being delayed in time with respect to S by an interval approximately equal to the predetermined pulse duration. This is stated to improve the signal-to-noise and interference ratio and to afford a constant false alarm rate. The integration may be over some ten radar recurrence periods. The processing of signal S may be performed at intermediate or video frequency, and may take place in successive range " bins." The invention may be applied to M.I.I. and automatic-ranging radars.
