Title: Granular fertilisers
Inventor: COWAN DOUGLAS GORDON
IPC: C05G5/12
Filed: 1964-11-23
Abstract: A granular fertilizer contains 15-75% of defatted cocoa waste having a particle size of less than 8 BSS.  The pH of a 10% aqueous suspension of the waste is less than 6.0.  Granulation of the moistened constituents is effected in a rotary drum.  The fertilizer constituents may be ammonium sulphate or phosphate, potassium sulphate or single superphosphate.  The granular product may be sprayed with an aqueous solution of the alkali metal, ammonium or amine salt of a selective weed killer, e.g. 2: 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic, 4 - chloro - 2 - methyl - phenoxyacetic, or 4 - chloro - 2 - methyl - phenoxypropionic acid.  A moss growth inhibitor, e.g. mercurous chloride, and a pigment dyestuff may be incorporated in the solution.  The treated granules may be sprayed with 0.2% of mineral oil to prevent dust formation.ALSO:A granular fertilizer containing 15-75% of defatted cocoa waste having a particle size of less than 8 BSS is sprayed with an aqueous solution of the alkali metal, ammonium or amine salt of a selective weed killer, e.g. 2:4-dichloro-phenoxyacetic, 4-chloro-2-methylphenoxyacetic or 4-chloro-2-methyl-phenoxypropionic acid.

Title: Method and apparatus for removing hides from carcasses
IPC: A22B5/16
Filed: 1971-10-13
Abstract: 1310857 Skinning carcases LE FIELL CO 13 Oct 1971 [25 Jan 1971] 47673/71 Heading A2U A method of removing the hide from a carcase consists in suspending the carcase by its hind legs, slitting the underside of the hide lengthwise from the tail to the lower jaw and providing rump flaps, freeing the tail hide from the flesh and feeding it between two movable surfaces which grip it and subsequently the rump flaps and strip the hide from the carcase. Apparatus for performing the method comprises a carriage 28 suspended by rollers 26 from beams 24 and carrying a sliding pin 152 engageable with a conveyer trolley 14 so that the carriage moves with the trolley during the skinning operation. Depending from the carriage 28 is a frame 38 guided at its lower end by rollers 44 coacting with a fixed floor rail 46, and mounted for vertical movement in the frame 38 is a frame 58 carrying a roller 76 consisting of a number of rubber-tyred vehicle wheels mounted sideby-side on a shaft 72. Also carried by the frame 58 is an endless belt 114 passing over rollers 112, 113 and supported by intermediate rollers 116. An electric motor M drives the shaft 72 and the roller 112 through a reduction gear 78 and chains and sprockets. The roller 76, which engages the belt 114 during normal operation, may be retracted therefrom by fluid motors 136. To skin a carcase, of which the hide has been slit in the manner described above, the frame 58 is raised by an electric motor 48 and chains 56 to the position shown in chain-dotted lines, the tail part of the hide is fed by an operator into the nip between the roller 76 and belt 114, and the motor 48 is set in motion to lower the frame 58 as the hide is drawn between the roller and belt. The rump flaps are spread laterally by ribs formed on the belt, and in addition, an adjustable spreader bar (not shown) may be fitted at the entry to the nip between the roller and belt. Hides are discharged on to a conveyer 148, and the roller and belt are cleaned by a water sprayer 146. After disengagement of the pin 152 from the trolley 14 the carriage 28 is returned to its starting position by a pneumatic cylinder motor 30.

Analogue computer for multiplying and dividing comprises inverting integrating amplifier 1 and variable gain inserting amplifier 5 receiving at 6 an input signal -Z, the output Zt (t = time) of 1 and G5Z (G5=gain) of 5 being applied to comparator 2 together with a further signal -X. The computer produces an output at 9 when the combustion of signals from 1 and 5 are equal to -X at time t 1  = X/Z; signal G5Z compensating for undesired switching delays. An input signal + Y is applied to inverting integrating amplifier 3 to produce an output Yt applied to a memory amplifier 4 also receiving the output from comparator 2 at gating input 12, so that signal presence allows sampling passage of the output signal of 3 thereto and to produce signal Yt at output 10 which since t= t 1  = X/Z is given by XY/Z. The variables may represent pressure or temperature. Switch 14 connecting input 6 and output 10 may be closed so that -Z = XY/Z and Z = #XY or Z = #X, #Y if y, x = unity. With switch open and Y, X, Z = unity, the apparatus gives X/Z, Y/Z, XY, and switching means (not shown) resets the integrators to datum after each sampling operation. A more sophisticated relay switched solid state circuit (Fig. 2, not shown) permits adjustment for compensating offset voltages, for switching delay compensation, for initial balance, and for calibration, while an alternative relay switching modification is described (Fig. 3, not shown). Calibration and balancing procedures are described.

Abstract: 1,043,971. Fish treating machines. INSTITUT FUR SCHIFFAU. Dec. 9, 1964, No. 50071/64. Heading A2U. A device for positioning fish being fed to a processing machine, comprises a fish conveyer, a movable stop member adjacent one end of the conveyer, grippers at said end of conveyer, and cam means, whereby when fish abuts said stop member it is moved towards the grippers, said end of conveyer is raised to raise the fish and the grippers begin to close due to said cam means, override means being provided so that when the grippers engage the fish further movement of the stop member and raising of the fish does not take place. Where the fish reaches the end of pivoted shoot 2, the device is in such a position that the pivoted shoot 2 is in its most downward position and the head support 7 in its most elevated position. Cam 12 on rotating shaft 11 causes shaft 9 to rotate which results in lever 10 moving slide 6 and head support 7 which is fixed to slide 6, towards the shoot 2. Slide 6 engages cam 3 which results in the raising of shoot 2 containing the fish. The gripper device 19 under the control of cam 14 closes. When the fish is properly engaged by the grippers cam 13 is in such a position that shaft 4 and head support 7 is hinged downwards allowing the fish to be conveyed further.
