Patent GB-745198-A (GB)
Title: Food processing machine
IPC: A22C9/00
Filed: 1951-10-25
Abstract: 745,198. Tenderizing meat &c. DECKERT, R. O. Oct. 25, 1951, No. 1491/54. Divided out of 745,125. Class 28(2). In slitting or tenderizing meat, vegetables &c., by overlapping disc cutters on a pair of rotated shafts 90, 92, access to the cutters, e.g. for removal, is obtained by swinging out the end casings 18, 20 which normally close in the ends of the front and rear panels 12, 14 of the machine, such swinging out permitting the hinged cover 16 to be swung up to permit the cutter shafts 90, 92 to be removed. The cutter shafts overhang the pedestal so that meat dropped through a top slot 28 in 16 is slit between the cutters and then is free to drop into a receptacle placed beneath. The top slot receives the tube 36 of a feed-in tray 32. A handle 86 is provided to lift out of the casing the U-shaped carrier 70 carrying the disc cutter rolls. The cutter roll shafts may be lifted out by raising one end stud 72 out of a slot in the casing and then withdrawing its hexagon end, e.g. 100, from its hexagon coupling drive 68. The meat is guided in its passage to the cutters, by and between two rows of strippers 107, Fig. 9, spacedly mounted on shafts carried in one or other of slots 120 formed in pairs of end arms 108, 110 mounted on the cutter roll-carrying frame 70. The strippers are recessed at 132, Fig. 11, to allow for alternative positions. The sharp shoulder 134 of the stripper, Fig. 11, forms a scavenging edge to scrape meat from the spacers between the cutter discs. Other forms of strippers may have several such edges (138, Fig. 14, not shown). The strippers may be of round wire or of square cross section the latter also clearing meat from the sides of the cutter discs. Adjustable eccentrics with dial indicators may be used to vary the distance of one row of strippers from its co-operating row. A new type of disc cutter, Fig. 12, may be used in which meat, squeezed into the radial slots D separating the teeth, is cut with a drawing action by the curve of the cutting edge E. Such cutters when acting on layers of meat unite the layers together. Such cutters may alternate (as in Fig. 15, not shown) with ordinary cutters (B, Fig. 13, not shown) which latter pierce or skewer the meat rather than cut it. Groups of cutters may be replaced by another group by mounting such group (160 Fig. 19, not shown) on a short sleeve which may be slid on and off endwise of the shaft. Keys secure such sleeve to the shaft. Another means of replacing a group of cutters is to have the cutters made up of semi-circular discs which can be connected to the spacers already on the shafts (as in Figs. 20 and 21, not shown).

Title: Improvements in Starting Mechanism for Internal Combustion Engines.
Inventor: DOBSON ERNEST
IPC: F02N1/02
Filed: 1917-02-03
Abstract: 112,992. Dobson, E. Feb. 3, 1917. Turning-gear.-In the event of premature iguition, the starting-handle is disconnected by levers or thrust links connected with a member rotatable with the starting-shaft in the forward direction only. In one form, the starting-handle a is loose on its shaft b and bears against an adjustable spring buffer c in a bracket c<2> keyed on the shaft b. The bearing-sleeve e has a flange f on which is mounted a ring h rotatable in one direction only, reversal being prevented by a free-wheel pawl, wedge, &c., in a recess i<1>. A pair of inclined triangular levers k are pivoted on the ring hand slotted to engage pins l<1> carried by a flange I on the shaft b. An arm m on the flange l rotates the ring h with the starting-handle. In the event of premature ignition, the ring h is locked and the levers k move the shaft b longitudinally. A spring may be arranged between the flange l and the bearing c. In a modification, the starting-handle actuates the shaft through a friction clutch, one member of which is connected by links to the ring h. Rotation of the ring may be restrained by springs bearing against it directly or through balls The links are normally oblique, but in the event of premature ignition, they move into parallelism, opening the clutch. In order to prevent immediate re-clutching, pins on the shaft engage inclined faces on the bess of the handle to assist its axial movement.

Title: Improvements in or relating to transverse current blowers
IPC: F04D17/04
Filed: 1961-01-18
Abstract: 974,658. Transverse-flow blowers. B. ECK. Jan. 18, 1961 [Jan. 18, 1960], No. 2050/61. Heading F1C. In a transverse-flow blower, the flow is influenced by an eddy current whereby the flow is directed into the interior of the impeller, the eddy current being produced with the aid of a guide member arranged between the inlet and outlet for the fluid and near and outside the impeller circumference, the gap between the impeller circumference and the wall of the guide member nearest the impeller decreasing in width in the direction of rotation of the impeller, and a flow-influencing member adjustable between two positions is provided on the outlet side of the guide member. Fig. 5 shows a blower in which an eddy current 8 is set up in the flow adjacent a wall of a guide member 1, the gap between the wall and the circumference of the impeller 4 decreasing in width in the direction B of rotation. A flap 6 can be pivoted from the position shown into a position in which it lies against the wall of the guide member 1, for the purpose of controlling the flow by changing the position of the core of the eddy current. A member 2 is either fixed or arranged to pivot. In a modification, the member 2 is omitted, and the flap 6 is in this case pivotable from the position shown to a position in which it is transverse to the gap between the guide member 1 and the impeller 4. In another modification, the flap 6 is omitted and the control is effected entirely by pivoting the member 2. Fig. 9 shows a blower in which the control is effected by movement of a slide 10 between the full-line and broken-line positions. The slide 10 is hollow and fits over a part of the guide member 1. The slide 10 may be replaced by a laminar slide sliding along a wall of the guide member 1. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 757,543 and 876,611.

Patent GB-545482-A (GB)
Title: Automatic reclosing circuit breaker operating mechanism
IPC: H01H75/04
Filed: 1941-02-17
Abstract: 545,482. Automatic circuit-breakers. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. Feb. 17, 1941, No. 2155. Convention date, Feb. 17, 1940. [Class 38 (v)] A circuit-breaker operating mechanism of the trip free type comprises a pair of latches, either of which can release the breaker, and a faultresponsive trip coil which operates one of the latches when the breaker is in normal closed position and both latches for their trip free operation only. In the adaptation of a circuitbreaker as described in Specification 490,641, to automatic reclosure, a chain 4 interconnecting the spring-controlled operating rod 2 with the plunger 1<SP>1</SP> of the closing solenoid 1 is normally held taut by a roller 5 on a bell-crank lever 6, which is pivoted at 7 and held stationary by engagement' of a roller 8 on its other end with a latch 9 pivoted at 10. The plunger 1<SP>1</SP> is held in closed position by a toggle 11, 12 itself retained by a roller 16 engaging a latch lever 17, which lever is adapted to be deflected, for normal tripping, by the plunger 21 of coil 22 engaging a lever 19 co-pivoted with 17 at 18 and operating 17 through a pin 20. On overload, relay FR closes contacts fr<SP>1</SP> to energize 22 over contacts a which open when the breaker opens. At a predetermined point in the opening stroke, contacts b close a circuit for a solenoid SR over contacts L, which are closed as soon as the plunger 1<SP>1</SP> rises, contacts b, and contacts m<SP>2</SP> of a manual snap switch, M. In operating, SR makes its holding circuit at Sr, and at contacts 28 energizes the coil 1 in parallel with a further coil 30. The latter acts to straighten a toggle 25, 26 interconnecting lever 19 and a lever 23 which is brought up to a pin 24 on lever 9. If the fault persists when the breaker is closed and relay FR again energizes coil 22, the movement of lever 19 and latch 9 collapses the chain 4 and spring 3 opens the breaker. If there is no fault, however, contacts L open and de-energize relay SR and coil 30, so restoring the toggle 25, 26 to the position shown. If the switch M is changed over, manual tripping without automatic reclosure occurs. In Fig. 2, a floating lever 43 is retained by a latch system 48, 50, which is operative during normal conditions, and by a latch 45 which is operative during closing only. A pin 63 on lever 50, which is co-pivoted with latch lever 48 at 51 and drives the latter by means of pin 54, engages in a slot 62 in a lever 61 which is linked at 60 to latch 45. Normally the pin 63 moves along the part 62<SP>1</SP> of the slot and does not operate the latch 45, but during closure, when the latch roller 49 is engaged and driven by the plunger 1<SP>11</SP> of the coil 1, and operation of the latch 48 can therefore have no effect, an extension 64 of the plunger lifts lever 61 so that pin 63 engages the lower slot-part 62<SP>11</SP> thus enabling the trip coil to operate latch 45.

Title: Manufacture of n-methylsulphites of secondary aromatic-aliphatic amines
IPC: C07D231/46
Filed: 1925-01-24
Abstract: The process of the parent Specification for the manufacture of therapeutically-active N-methyl-sulphites of secondary aromatic-aliphatic amines is modified by treating a secondary aromatic-aliphatic amine (except methylaniline, ethylaniline, benzylaniline, or an N-alkylated anthranilic acid or nucleal substitution product thereof) with formaldehyde and a bisulphite in any order, or by treating a condensation product from a primary aromatic amine and formaldehyde first with an alkylating agent and then with a bisulphite, any such treatment which would lead to the N-methyl sulphites of the above mentioned aromatic-aliphatic amines being excluded.  Examples are given of the preparation of sodium-1-phenyl - 2 : 3-dimethyl - 5-pyrazolone-4-ethylamino (or methylamino)-methylsulphite and sodium-N-methyl-p-phenetidine-methylsulphite. Methylene-bis-1-phenyl-2 : 3-dimethyl-4-methylamino-5-pyrazolone is obtained by heating with formaldehyde the mixture of amines produced by methylating 1-phenyl-2 : 3-dimethyl-4-amino-5-pyrazolone.  On further treatment with formaldehyde and bisulphite, it yields the N-methylsulphite of the methylamino-pyrazolone referred to above. Methylene-bis-N-methyl-phenetidine is similarly obtained by treating with formaldehyde the crude N-methylphenetidine obtained by methylating phenetidine.  On further treatment with formaldehyde and sodium bisulphite, it yields the phenetidine methylsulphite referred to above.

IPC: F25B49/02
Filed: 1924-01-28
Abstract: 210,452. Jauvert, P. M. Jan. 26, 1923, [Convention date]. Refrigerating, compression machines for; cold accumulators; cold-storage rooms.-In a refrigerating plant comprising evaporator coils 8 disposed in tanks 10 containing congealable brine, and an intermittently operated fan 11, controlled by a thermal device 36, for circulating the air of a cold-storage room 12 over the surfaces of the tanks, the flow of cooling-water to the compression machine of the plant is controlled according to the temperature of the brine in the tanks 10, which depends in part upon the operation of the fan and accordingly upon the temperature in the cold-storage room. The flow of cooling-water serves to control the operation of the compressor 1, as by controlling the switch 34 of an electric driving-motor 2, and preferably also controls means, for supplying water to rinse the walls of the brine tanks and thereby remove accumulated rime. The cooling-water for the condenser 4 of the plant is supplied through a pipe 5<1>, and its flow is controlled by a sliding valve 15 in a, casing 14. The valve is actuated by a pin 24 on a diaphragm 23 subject to movement due to the expansion and contraction of congealable brine contained in tubes 20 immersed in the brine in the tanks 10. One of the tubes 20 is placed near an evaporator coil 8 and the other near the wall of the brine tank, so that the brine in the tubes is at the mean temperature of the cooling-brine. The pin 24 has a lost-motion connection with the valve 15 so that the valve moves only at limiting temperatures. A branch 26 of the cooling-water pipe leads, to a cylinder 27 containing a spring- loaded piston 28, which is raised by the water pressure to maintain the switch 34 closed when the water is flowing, At each movement of the piston 28 due to resumption of the flow of cooling-water, it opens a cock 44 to supply water to prime a siphon 45, whereby water is delivered through a spray 46 over the walls of the brine tanks. The piston device 27 may be modified to give a quick breaking of the motor circuit and a gradual closing, for motors having a starting rheostat, and may be used for other driving- means.
