Title: Vehicle jack
Inventor: MASON BRIAN EDWARD
IPC: B66F5/04
Filed: 1993-03-12
Abstract: A vehicle jack comprises two members (3, 5) pivoted together at (11) and respectively having lever arms (3A, 3B, 5A, 5B) the free ends of which extend adjacent the ground when the jack is in the fully lowered position. The member (5) is in the form of a bell crank lever whose shorter arm is mounted on an axle 10 bearing a pair of wheels (7), and extends downwardly with reference to the pivot (11). In use, a hydraulic tension cylinder actuating means (1) controlled by pump handle (2) exerts tension between the one member (3) and the axle (10) to cause relative pivoting movement of the two members (3, 5). As shown the jack comprise a single hydraulic cylinder (1) disposed between two bell crank levers (5) each of which is of inverted-U section and encloses a respective one member (3). A foot (4) joining the free extremities of the one members (3) rests flat on the ground whilst the wheels (7) on the other members (5) permit horizontal movement thereof with reference to the ground enabling a lifting arm palm (6) joining the other ends of said other members to lift a vehicle. <IMAGE>

Title: Security bolt for remote controlled up-and-over door
Inventor: DARE PETER WILLIAM
IPC: E05B63/20
Filed: 1993-12-14
Abstract: The security bolt consists of a locking bolt 1 which is automatically pushed down into a floor socket making the doorset on which it is fixed more secure against intruders. One security bolt is normally sufficient and should be fitted to the doorwing slightly off centre so that it does not foul the automatic opening mechanism. However, for extra security, a pair of bolts can be fitted to the doorwing at equal distances from each end. The bolt is operated by a linkage arrangement 4, 5 in which an arm 4 with a free end 6 engages a block 7 at the top of the door frame, and is caused to pivot and actuate the bolt against a return spring 9 which disengages the bolt as the door opens. <IMAGE>

Title: Electronic spirit dispenser
Inventor: CARTER GARY
IPC: G01F11/32
Filed: 1994-03-22
Abstract: The spirit dispenser comprises a displaceable member 3 acting to close an inlet valve 5 or an outlet valve 7 respectively in each of its extreme positions and an electronic interlock device which operates a solenoid and indent to lock the displaceable member in each of its respective extreme positions. Upon initiation of a dispensing operation the displaceable member 3 is moved to its upper position and locked by the interlock device for a predetermined time period to allow a metered amount of spirit to be dispensed after which the displaceable member is allowed to fall to its lower position where it is again locked to prevent further operation of the dispenser until the metering chamber is refilled. The signal to release the interlock device when the displaceable member is in its lower position is produced by a liquid sensing device at the top of the metering chamber (either by electrical resistance or optical means). <IMAGE>

Title: Solenoid actuated valve
Inventor: CONNELL RICHARD ANTHONY
IPC: F16K31/08
Filed: 1994-03-31
Abstract: A solenoid actuator for a fluid flow valve comprises a closure member (64) forming part of assembly (62) and adapted to engage a fluid flow orifice (16), and includes a solenoid-controlled-magnetic-plunger (46), for moving member (64) into or out of engagement with the orifice (16). To assist the opening of the valve, a diaphragm spring (66) forming part of assembly (62), which is deflected during the upward stroke of plunger (46) and held deflected until changeover, aids the downward force upon plunger (46) at changeover. The solenoid plunger (46) is stable at either end of its travel to maintain the selected state of the valve, change of state to open or close orifice (16) being by means of an magnetic pulse generated by solenoid coil (43), the plunger (46) being latched at closure by permanent magnets (32, 34). <IMAGE>

IPC: A24C5/32
Filed: 1994-04-28
Abstract: Supports 11 mounted on a rotary conveyor 5 take up cigarettes 2 from a feed wheel 4 at a loading point 9. As the conveyor rotates about axis 6 the supports turn also on axes 13. At an unloading point 15 the pitch of the cigarettes has reduced from "P1" to "P2", by virtue of the radial movement brought about by the rotation of the supports 11. The cigarettes are unloaded onto a second conveyor (7 in fig 1). The cigarettes are held in position by means of suction. <IMAGE>

Title: Method for making smooth uncreped throughdried cellulosic webs
Inventor: ENGEL STEPHEN ALEXANDER
IPC: D21H27/00
Filed: 1995-10-27
Abstract: Uncreped throughdried cellulosic webs having improved smoothness and stretch are produced by transferring a newly formed wet web 15 from the forming fabric 13 to a slower moving, transfer fabric 17, preferably using a fixed gap or kiss transfer in which the forming fabric and the transfer fabric converge and diverge at the leading edge of a vacuum transfer shoe 18. The web is then transferred to a throughdrying fabric 19 and throughdried non compressively to final dryness, producing a web having an improved softness due to increased surface smoothness. The initial wet web has a consistency of 15 to 25 percent. The transfer fabric travels 5 to 75 per cent slower than the forming fabric. A method of determining surface smoothness is described. The smoothness of the resulting web, which may form a towel or wiper, is 3200 micro-inches or less. <IMAGE>
