Abstract: 545,673. Shoots. BEST, C., and MOLINS MACHINE CO., Ltd. Feb. 10, 1941, No. 1800. [Class 78 (i)] A delivery device for articles comprises a downwardly-directed passage or shoot 7 down which articles B pass by gravity, and a number 9 arranged to project into the passage to arrest an article, said member being caused, by the entry of the next succeeding article into the zone of operation of said member, to release the arrested article and allow it to proceed downwards while the said next succeeding article is in turn arrested by the said member. In the construction shown bullets B in which pass one at a time down the shoot 7 from a hopper to a weighing machine, as described in Specification 545,661, each bullet is arrested in turn by the member 9 pivoted at 10 and controlled by an adjustable spring 12. The member 9 can pass through a slot 8 in the shoot and has a hump 15 which engages a bullet and presses it against the side of the shoot so as to hold it in place. The next bullet passing down the shoot strikes the first bullet and forces it past the hump 15 but is in turn arrested and held by the member 9. The member 9 may comprise a spring arm instead of a spring-controlled lever. There may be one, two, or more members 9 at different levels in the shoot according to the length of the shoot and other conditions. In a modification the shoot is appreciably wider than the bullets and each bullet in falling acts on the hump 15 of the member 9 so as to release the previously-arrested bullet.

In the normal position, shown, the openings 7 situated below the level of the electrolyte are closed by a sleeve 8 slidable on the tube 2. In the inverted position (Fig. 2, not shown), the sleeve 8 moves under gravity to close the openings 6 which are now submerged beneath the electrolyte, and the gas can vent through the openings 7 which are now open and above the electrolyte surface. The tube 2 may be of P.T.F.E. and the sleeve 8 may be of steel coated with P.T.F.E. To minimize creep of electrolyte along the interface between the tube and sleeve, one of these components may be provided with surface grooves (Fig. 3, not shown). In a modification, Fig. 4, the tube 22 has upper openings 25 and a lower opening 26 alternatively closable by a piston 21 having an offset longitudinal passage 22. In another embodiment (Figs. 6, 7, not shown) the construction of Fig. 1 is modified by omitting the openings 7 so that the gases may only escape when the battery is in the normal position.

Abstract: 1,089,893. Control systems for consumption apparatus. DANFOSS A.S. Jan. 20, 1965 [Jan. 21, 1964], No. 2519/65. Heading H2H. [Also in Division H3] A switching circuit for controlling current through a load, comprises at least two junctionless non-rectifying semi-conductor switches 3, 4 in series and a means 5 for applying a control voltage above the threshold valve across a part only of the series connection so as to effect switching of the corresponding switch 3 or switches from a high to a low resistance condition. The control voltage applied from 5 causes switch 3 to switch on so that the supply voltage 1 which is not large enough by itself to switch on all of switches; is now applied across the remainder of the solid state switches e.g. 4 to switch them on. The switches then remain on until the current in the circuit is reduced below their holding value. The control voltage may be from a trigger generator in the form of impulses, square and sine waves and direct voltages. In another embodiment (Fig. 3, not shown), the two solid state switches are connected via a load (8) to a D.C. source (7) and a variable potential divider (11, 12) enables the. D.C. source voltage (U G ) to be applied across either of the switches. (9 or 10) so as to switch one on before the other. The variable arm (11) of the potential divider may be positive or negative temperature coefficient resistor, a photo resistor, a pressure-sensitive resistor, variable resistor or a switch. In a further embodiment (Fig. 4, not shown), both arms of the potential divider may be variable and the solid state switches are mounted on a metal plate which electrically joins them together to form a single unit. The solid state switches consist of predominantly tellurium with additions of elements from Groups IV and V of the Periodic Table. The loads 2 may be capacitive or inductive and the control voltage 5 may be provided from a phase shifter which only allows the switches to conduct during certain parts of the A.C. cycle of the supply 1 so controlling the current through the load.
