Title: Improvements relating to resilient upholstery supports
Inventor: VERONESI GUIDO
IPC: A47C4/54
Filed: 1962-02-23
Abstract: 1,032,354. Upholstery supports. PIRELLI Ltd. Jan. 15, 1963 [Feb. 23, 1962], No. 7082/62. Heading A4M.  A resilient upholstery support has a main membrane 10 and an auxiliary membrane 11 secured thereto at its peripheral margin 12 to form an enclosed interspace 13 between the membranes. In a modification the interspace between membranes 20, 21 is divided into pockets 23 by further securing membrane 21 to membrane 20 along lines 24. The interspaces 13, 23 are filled with a gas or a liquid or material such as latex foam, polyurethane or polystyrene. A further modification, Fig. 6, has membranes 30, 31, padding material 34 and a covering 35 being secured over membrane 31 to form a seat squab 36 and membrane 30 has thickened bracing portions 70. In each form of the support holes 40 are formed adjacent the periphery of the main membrane or in extensions 41, 42 for connection to seat frames.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the preservation of hops, hop extract, and fractions of hops
IPC: C12C3/00
Filed: 1963-02-22
Abstract: Hops, hop extracts and fractions of hops such as lupulin, bracts and bracteoles, and stalks and strigs, are preserved by thoroughly mixing them with sugar, the moisture content being adjusted, if necessary, to render the mixture cohesive, and compressing the mixture under high pressure e.g. at least 5,000 lbs. per square inch, into a block. Whole, shredded or ground hops or fractions of hops, preferably partially dried, are suitable.  Glycerol and a brewery antioxidant may be added to the mixture prior to compression.  The following sugars are mentioned: malt extract and brewery sugars (preferred), cane sugar, refined crystals, candy sugar, sugar candy, brown and yellow sugar, maltose, invert sugar, glucose, fructose and corn syrup.  Where water is employed in the mixture, the water preferably has a pH value in the range 7.0 to 7.4.  In a preferred procedure, the hops etc. are treated with water at an elevated temperature, the water is then separated from the hops and boiled with sugar to form a syrup, the syrup is cooled and then mixed with the hops to produce a cohesive mixture, and the hop-syrup mixture of moisture content 15-25% by weight is finely divided and compressed under high pressure into a block.  The preservation of lupulin involves extracting the lupulin with boiling water and subsequently mixing for at least 10 minutes, boiling the extractant pressed from the lupulin with 2-3 times its own weight of sugar for between 10 and 40 minutes to produce a syrup boiling at a temperature within the range 230-245 DEG F., cooling the syrup to a temperature of 100-110  DEG F., mixing the lupulin with the syrup to form a cohesive mixture and compressing the mixture under high pressure into a block.  A similar procedure is applied to the preservation of bracts and bracteoles.  The procedure for stalks and strigs involves a preliminary grinding to a particle size of the order of 50 to 100 microns and soaking the ground strigs in cold water for 1-3 hours.  Many detailed examples are given.

Title: Photographic cameras
IPC: G03B7/01
Filed: 1975-02-21
Abstract: 1486668 Cameras SEIKO KOKI KK 21 Feb 1975 [22 Feb 1974] 7442/75 Heading G2A In a camera as described in Specification 1479705 the auto/manual selector switch, Fig. 3 has an additional contact 8-30M for bulb exposures. When a selector contact 8-20M is moved to bridge contacts 8-10M and 8-30M all the contact terminals 8-1 to 8-8 become "1" and all the switch elements (16-1 to 16-8) Fig. 2 (not shown) become non-conductive. Thus no exposure termination pulse can pass from the pulse counter (7) and the shutter electromagnet (Mg) stays energized until the supply switch (SW1) is opened. An indicator circuit, Fig. 4, comprises an array of LEDs L 1 to L5 which are connected to the counter (7) and in the automatic mode indicate shutter speed, over and under-exposure when photography is possible and "overflow" when photography is not possible. The LEDs are extinguished upon shutter release. This arrangement is as described in Specification 1463859. The circuit shown in Fig. 4 of the present application also includes connections to manual exposure time selector contacts 8-1, 8-2 M ... to indicate the manually set time as well.

Title: Improvements in or relating to treating uncooked flesh of fowl
IPC: A23L13/70
Filed: 1954-03-15
Abstract: Flavour in uncooked flesh of fowls, e.g. chickens, ducks, geese, turkeys and game birds, is preserved and enhanced by injection, at moderately superatmospheric temperature, with an aqueous liquid comprising a monoalkali metal salt of glutamic acid and an edible gelling agent, e.g. agar-agar, Irish moss, carob bean gum, gelatine, or casein, the gelling agent being present in concentration sufficient for setting to at least a semi-solid on cooling to atmospheric temperature.  According to an example, picked and eviscerated chickens are chilled for 2 hours and are then injected, in the thighs, legs, sides of breast, wings, and back, to the extent of 5 per cent of the weight, with a solution, at 125 DEG F., of 5 lb. of monosodium glutamate and 1 1/4 lb. of gelatine made up to 100lb. with water.

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for winding wire on annular bodies
IPC: B65H81/04
Filed: 1947-03-18
Abstract: 653,241. Winding toroidal coils. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN. March 18, 1947, No. 7452. Convention date, May 16, 1944. [Class 83 (iv)] Apparatus for winding of wire on an annular body, comprises a reel for the wire rotatably mounted on a rotating ring segment which passes through the central opening of the annular body and means tending, regardless of the direction of rotation of the reel, to rotate the reel in the sense of its taking up the wire, while permitting the reel to be rotated continuously in the sense of its paying off the wire. Wire to be wound on the annular body 12 is fed from a supply reel 17 over a grooved pulley 23, the reel and pulley being freely rotatable on pins 18, 24 attached to a segment 16 rotatable in a plate 10 by means of gearwheels 21, 22. The gap 19 of the segment 16 and the gap 11 of the plate 10 allow the body 12, carried by an arm 26, to be positioned so that the segment 16 rotates therethrough. The arm 26 is rotatable about the axis 27. An oiled spring-urged rope 31, attached to the plate 10 passes frictionally about the supply reel 17 and guide pulley 23 so that excess wire paid out of the reel as it moves away from the body 12 may be automatically rewound on the reel 17 as it approaches the body 12. In a modification, the reel 17 may be backwardly biassed by an electric motor so that excess wire is not paid out.

Title: Improvements in package dyeing apparatus
IPC: D06B5/14
Filed: 1943-05-17
Abstract: <PICT:0567342/IV/1> Relates to package dyeing apparatus comprising a pressure keir 10 on a manifold or header 11 in which spindles carrying the packages 12 are mounted, so that a pump 14 connected to the keir 10 and to an open container or expansion tank 13 may, through a fair-way valve H, alternately delivery treating liquor by a connection 23 through the manifold to the interior of the packages 12 and withdraw it from the interior of the package through the outer wall of the keir 10 and a connection 22.  The invention consists in providing a restriction such as an adjustable valve 27 in the conduit 18 between the keir or manifold and the container 13 to create back pressure in the keir regardless of the direction of circulation therein so that the flow may be adjusted to suit variations in the yarns and packages and a more even dyeing action obtained.  Instead of a valve 27, a fixed orifice or a venturi may be inserted in the conduit 18.
