Title: A device for reversing cigarettes and similarly shaped articles of manufacture when packing same
IPC: B65B19/06
Filed: 1929-03-21
Abstract: 326,032. United Cigarette Machine Co. Akt.-Ges., and Gottschalk, P. March 21, 1929. Packeting cigarettes and like articles.- Cigarettes of oval cross-section and like articles are reversed if lying the wrong way up by abutment members which may be manually or automatically operated. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the cigarettes 4 are fed through the machine on links 1 of a chain 2. Each link has a recess 3 and an abutment 5 for retaining the cigarette in a position with its longer transverse axis oblique. An abutment plate 6 is mounted to slide vertically in the path of the cigarettes, and in the event of a cigarette being wrongly placed, is elevated into the position shown by depressing a button 18, which acts through a double lever 17 and plate 11. The plate 11 carries an extension 25 which coacts on a bell-crank lever 23, 24 and moves a bolt 20 into a recess 19 to hold the plate 6 in its elevated position. A pin 26 is moved from engagement with the higher of two recesses 27 in the frame of the machine, and the parts remain in the position shown until reset in the inoperative position by the engagement of a projection on the chain 2 with the lever 23. In use, when a wrongly placed cigarette approaches the plate 6, the operator depresses the button 18 and elevates the plate so that the cigarette 4, in being reversed, takes up the successive positions shown in Figs. 4b, 4<c>, and 4d. In a modification, Fig. 5<a>, the links 29 of the chain are formed with two recesses 30, 30<a>, and the cigarette is turned over from one to the other by lowering a plate 6<a> into the position shown. Two or more reversing devices may be arranged to act in connection with the, same chain. In the form shown in Figs. 8 and 9, the movement of the plate 6<b> is electrically controlled from a switchboard. One of a series of keys 18<1> - - 18<8> is adapted, when depressed, to close a circuit 35, 35' - - 35<8>, the current passes through a roller 37, conductor ring 38, and wire 40, to one of a series of electromagnets 39 mounted in axially disposed peripheral boxes. A disc 42, rotating with the disc 36, carries a corresponding series of armatures 46. When a magnet is energized, the corresponding armature is drawn to the right, Fig. 9, and allows a double lever 48 to fall into the position shown in broken lines in Fig. 8, thereby elevating the plate 6<b> to engage and reverse a cigarette 4 in the chain 1. The armatures are re-set bv a fixed cam-face. In another form, Fig. 11, an arm 53 is attached to a thin plate 55 of sheet metal on a pivot 54. A leaf spring normally holds the assembly in the position shown, but if a reversed cigarette occurs on the chain 2, a feeler 52 on the arm 53 engages the longitudinal seam in the paper and the parts are moved so that contact pieces 57, 59 close the circuit 62 and a plate 6<c> is raised to engage and reverse the cigarette by a device controlled by an electro-magnet. This device is illustrated in Figs. 12 and 13 of the drawings.

Title: Improvements relating to the electro-refining of nickel
IPC: C25C1/08
Filed: 1962-03-09
Abstract: Nickel anodes, or nickel matte is refined electrolytically using an electrolyte containing an organic cyanide e.g. acrylonitrile, acetonitrile, benzonitrile, ethylene, cyanhydrin or b -chlorpropionitrile.  The nickel is preferably deposited on a starting sheet, using a diaphragm cell.  The deposit is smooth and free from "berries."  The electrolyte may contain sulphate radicals but must be free from reducible sulphur compounds.  In examples, a thin nickel starting sheet is used as cathode in an electrolyte containing ions of nickel, chloride and sulphate with smaller amounts of sodium and boric acid ion.  Traces of Ca, Cu and Pb are present. To this 0.01 to 0.1 g. per litre of ethylene cyano hydrin are added, and electrolysis is effected at pH of 4, a temperature of 140  DEG F., and current density of 15 A.S.F., forming a coating of high purity nickel of 0.8 inch thick. Specification 569,444 and U.S.A. Specification 2,839,461 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in auxiliary starting carburetters for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02M1/04
Filed: 1951-04-20
Abstract: 723,102. Carburetters. SOLEX. April 20, 1951 [April 21, 1950], No. 9289/51. Class 7 (3). In an auxiliary starting carburetter including a control valve constituted by a movable part in sliding relation to a seat for bringing in or out of communication two ports provided on the seat the first of these ports being connected to the source of starting mixture and the second connected to the induction pipe of the engine on the downstream side of the throttle, the control valve being operated by an automatic device which is not capable of exerting a large force on the movable part of the valve, the movable part is provided with cavities forming part of a passage formed in the thickness of the movable part these cavities and passage being adapted to control communication between the two ports and being so arranged that any suction caused in the passage by the suction in the engine induction pipe on the downstream side of the throttle valve tends to apply the movable part against the seat. In the Figures a disc valve 14 for instance controlled by a bimetallic strip 19 controls the supply of fuel from a conduit 13 and well 11 into a conduit 17 leading to the downstream side of a throttle valve 5. The strip is placed in an air stream produced by the suction of the engine, the stream passing through an annular space between the exhaust pipe 21 and a sleeve 20 surrounding this pipe. Air tight contact between the valve 14 and its seat is achieved by taking advantage of the suction in the induction pipe 1. It may be advantageous to provide a light spring 24 to urge the disc 14 towards its seat so as to reduce air leaks when the engine is at rest. In order to avoid the valve being forced off its seat under the effect of counterpressures in the induction pipe projections 25, 26, Fig. 3, co-operate to apply the valve against its seat when the bimetallic strip is hot. The angle of the face 27 must be chosen so as to avoid wedging.
