Title: Improved hand-set indicator for displaying information relating to games forecasts
IPC: G09F11/23
Filed: 1938-01-05
Abstract: 508,951. Indicators for forecasting game results. OGAN, E. G. Jan. 5, 1938, No. 294. Drawings to Specification. [Class 118 (i)] A hand-set indicator for use in forecasting competitions consists of a fixed circular disk, bearing at its edge a scale of days of the month, against which can be set one of the month names on the edge of a smaller concentric disk pivoted on it and having apertures through which can be read numbers corresponding to numbered games and signs corresponding to the results of the games. These data, printed on the larger disk, are derived from a consideration of the averaged results of games for a number of previous years. The scale of the days of the month on the larger disk is subdivided further into five smaller divisions representing different Saturdays in a month.

Abstract: 1,183,551. Mixing apparatus. APAW S.A. 2 Jan., 1968 [2 Jan., 1967], No. 331/68. Heading B1C. [Also in Division F4H] A machine for the batchwise production of ice cream comprises an evaporator 8 of a refrigeration circuit including a condenser 5 and compressor 6 which cools an ice cream can 9 whose bottom wall has a through bore so that a removable dasher may be engaged with a dasher drive mechanism located below the can. As illustrated, the drive mechanism comprises a motor 3 driving a gear wheel 16 through a pinion 17. A plate 18 is secured to the wheel 16 and has a square central bore which may be engaged by the correspondingly shaped end of the shaft 20 of a dasher 19. The shaft 20 carries a disc 23 and blades 24 and 25 are secured to the disc and the shaft. The motor 3 also drives a condenser fan 4. When the dasher is withdrawn, the can may be washed, wash water flowing through the can bore into a drawer 26 which may be partially withdrawn so that water is discharged through a port 27 into a suitable collecting vessel. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the dasher has straight vertical blades which scrape the wall of the can and whose scraping edges have offset notches. The lower end of the dasher shaft has a non-cylindrical socket which is engaged by a projection on the drive mechanism. The machine may be adapted for the production of ice blocks by replacing the dasher by an ice mould device, Fig. 4 (not shown).

Title: Flame retardant polyester resinous compositions containing halogen and phosphorus

Abstract: Compositions comprise (a) a copolymerizable unsaturated polyester prepared by the condensation of (i) a dicarboxylic acid p  or anhydride, (ii) a dihydric alcohol, at least one of (i) and (ii) having aliphatic unsaturation, and (iii) a phosphorus compound having at least three groups capable of ester formation, which groups may be halogen or acid hydrogen atoms or hydroxyl groups, and (b) an ethylenically unsaturated cross-linking agent for the polyester, at least one of the polymerizable ingredients other than said phosphorus compound comprising a chemically combined hexahalocyclopentadiene adduct of a 1-4 addition with a dienophile as defined in Specification 746,063, the halogen in said adduct being chlorine, bromine or fluorine or a mixture thereof.  Phosphorus compounds (iii) specified are tris-methylol phosphine oxide, bishydroxymethyl phosphinic acid, hydroxy methyl phosphonic acid, phosphorus acid, phosphoric acid, POCl3, PCl3 and PCl5.  In examples chlorendic acid, fumaric acid, one of the phosphorus compounds and either propylene glycol or a mixture of ethylene and di-ethylene glycols are reacted together, and the resultant polyester is mixed with styrene and hydroquinone and later with a mixture of benzoyl peroxide and tri-cresyl phosphate.  In some comparative examples the phosphorus compound is omitted and is either not replaced or is replaced by triethyl phosphate or tributyl phosphate at the polyester formation stage or by tricresyl or triphenyl phosphate at the styrene addition stage (the tributyl phosphate appears not to react into the polyester).  There are also listed a series of polyester forming recipes to which the phosphorus compound (iii) may be added: maleic anhydride, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, and the adduct of hexachlorocyclopentadiene with (A) fumaric acid, (B) citraconic anhydride, (C) maleic anhydride, in the form of the half ester with methanol, (F) itaconic anhydride, or (H) chlor-maleic anhydride; (E) as above but with the adduct of maleic anhydride and 1, 2, 3, 5-tetrachloro-5, 5-difluorocyclopentadiene; maleic anhydride and the adduct of hexachlorocyclopentadiene with (D) a -allyl glycerol ether or (G) 2-butene-1, 4-diol.

Title: Improved method and apparatus for making stencils electronically, particularly for full colour reproduction
IPC: B41C1/14
Filed: 1956-01-09
Abstract: 803,592. Local copying by scanning. LEACH, D. M. Jan. 8, 1957 [Jan. 9, 1956], No. 689/56. Class 40 (3). In an arrangement for producing perforated stencils by electric spark discharges the frequency of which is determined by a frequencymodulated circuit controlled by a photo-electrc cell receiving light from an optically-produced image of the original, the image is scanned by the photo-cell moved synchronously with the sparking electrodes to produce the perforated stencil sheet. Before the scanning operation a real image of the original is focused on a ground glass sheet 9 which is then removed and the area scanned by a photo-cell 11 of the transistor type reciprocated synchronously with spark electrodes 12, 12A over the sheet 10 to be perforated. The cell 11 and electrodes 12, 12A are connected by a rod 22 linked to an arm 23 hinged to a bar 17 attached to chains 13 passing round toothed wheels 20A, 20D and 20B, 20C driven from a motor 14 mounted on a frame 6 carrying the scanning arrangement and slowly traversed laterally of the areas 9, 10 by means of reduction gearing 18 driving a toothed wheel 15 engaging a chain 16 fixed at one end and carrying a weight 15A. An image of a transparency, black-and-white, or coloured, may be focused on the scanned area 9. Circuit arrangement, Fig. 4.-The voltage variations of the photo-cell 11, amplified by a transistor amplifier 23, are fed to a thyratron valve 27 having a capacitor 26 in its anode circuit and connected across the grid and cathode of a power valve 28 having the primary winding of a transformer 29 in its anode circuit. The induced voltages in the secondary winding cause spark discharges to take place between the adjacent terminal points of the electrodes 12, 12A. With little or no light falling on the cell 11, the grid of the valve 27 has a slight negative bias and strikes readily so that capacitor 26 discharges and valve 28 conducts. Also when capacitor 26 discharges, the thyratron cuts off and recharges the capacitor. When an increase of light on the cell 11 produces a more negative grid bias for the valve 27, its striking potential is raised and its frequency of operation is reduced so that the valve 28 is switched less frequently and the perforation frequency is reduced. The circuit may be modified to obtain a higher perforation frequency with increased light incident on the photo-cell. The arrangement may be used for reproduction in colour by employing appropriate colour filters in the optical path between the original and the photo-cell to obtain separate perforated stencils corresponding to the component colours.
