Title: Safety device for occupants of vehicles
IPC: B60R21/02
Filed: 1943-08-04
Abstract: 569,634. Tables, shelves, &c. in vehicles. VOORHIES, R. K. Aug. 4, 1943, No. 1.2603. [Class 108 (i)] [Also in Group XIV] A device which will serve as a table or rest positioned in front of a vehicle passenger and also as a means for engaging the body of the passenger to bring him safely to a stop (relatively to the vehicle) when the vehicle motion is suddenly checked comprises a table or support 37 slidably supported by a frame 17. comprising bars 18 and a plate 20 secured to the vehicle structure ; the table or support 17 carries a part 16 for engaging, the passenger and is capable of being drawn out from the stowage position shown in Fig. 2 to the position of use shown in Fig. 1 with the part 16 in front of the passenger on the seat 13, 14. Forward movement of the passenger pushing against the part 16 on the table 17 is yieldingly resisted by springs 50, 51, shown in plan Fig. 3 as contained in a pneumatic cylinder 22 and a plunger 40 which is attached to part 16 and works in the cylinder 22, a sealing ring 41 being formed on the plunger 40 so that the air within is compressed to produce further resistance to the inward movement of the plunger. The end part 23 of cylinder 22 is held in the position of use by a latch device 26, which can be turned downwardly by handles 36 to allow compression springs 29 to carry cylinder 22 into the stowage position. The position of the plunger 40 in the cylinder 22 may be manually adjusted, a pivoted latch device 63 being provided to hold the plunger by a friction ring 56 against outward movement without at any time resisting inward movement. In a modification the support and connected parts are carried by pivoted links so that the device may be swung downwardly from the stowed position into that of use.

Title: An improved process for the manufacture from cyanamide of manures containing soluble organic nitrogen
IPC: C05C7/00
Filed: 1923-05-11
Abstract: A manure is made by treating a porous material such as peat or turf, clay, pozzuolana, or other volcanic ash, with a concentrated solution of cyanamide obtained from calcium cyanamide, heating the resulting mixture under pressure, and subsequently drying it preferably in air. When peat or turf is used the manure contains urea.  The mixture may be heated in the presence of nitrogen, oxygen, air or carbon dioxide, or of a mixture of nitrogen and oxygen to a temperature not exceeding 120 DEG  C. and under a pressure of 5 to 25 atmospheres.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the preparation of a manure by merely exposing the mixture of porous material and cyanamide to the air; the limitation of the temperature of heating under pressure to between 60 and 90 DEG  C.; the repetition of the treatment, using the manure as the porous material, with a view to increasing the nitrogen content of the final product; and the use as the porous material of the residues resulting from the treatment of cyanamide by carbonic acid, as described in Specification 182,134, [Class 1(ii), Inorganic compounds, other than &c.].  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Recovery of polymers from solution
IPC: C08F6/12
Filed: 1956-04-27
Abstract: A normally solid polymer is recovered from a solution thereof in a solvent by vaporizing a substantial portion of the solvents and thus simultaneously cooling the unvaporized portion whereby polymer is precipitated and then recovering the precipitated polymer.  The vaporization may be effected by reducing the pressure on the solution and preferably at between 50 DEG  and 150 DEG  F. at a sub-atmospheric pressure between 0.1 and 10 p.s.i.a.; from 40 to 60 per cent of the solvent is preferably vaporized.  The polymer may be prepared by polymerizing a mono-olefin having a maximum chain length of 8 carbon atoms and no branching nearer the double bond than the 4-position, e.g. ethylene, in the presence of a catalyst comprising chromium oxide at 150-450 DEG  F. and a paraffinic or naphthenic hydrocarbon liquefiable at the polymerization temperature.  Other polymers specified are ethylene-propylene copolymers and polystyrene.

Title: Improvements relating to coin freed mechanism for gas and similar meters
IPC: G07F15/02
Filed: 1931-05-02
Abstract: 387,678. Prepayment mechanism for meters. UNITED GAS INDUSTRIES, Ltd., 51, Lincoln's Inn Fields, SMITH, E. W., 186, Kennington Park Road, and CHARLES, A., Meter Works, Rowan Road, Streatham Vale, all in London. May 2, 1931, No. 13026. [Class 27.] In coin-freed mechanism for meters adapted for automatically selective operation by coins of more than one value or size, an epicyclic gear is provided to transmit movement from the coin-holder mechanism to the quantity mechanism, this epicyclic gear in itself and without the aid of additional gearing exterior to the sun wheels giving the required reduction ratios for the various coins used. The reduction gear is applicable in conjunction with coinholder mechanism, such as described in Specification 352,455, in which measuring wheels, corresponding to the coins used, are selectively operated. Two measuring wheels a, b, Fig. 1, of the coin-holder mechanism, operated respectively after the insertion of a shilling and a penny, are connected to and operate sun wheels a<2>, b<2>. Two planet wheels f<1>, f<2> rotate together on the same axis in a planetary cage f, the wheel f<2> engaging the wheel a<2> directly and the wheel f<1> engaging the wheel b<2> through an intermediate pinion f<3> . The gear ratios are such that the cage f is rotated for a penny onetwelfth the amount effected by the use of a shilling. Spring washers a<3>, b<3> hold one of the measuring wheels stationary when the other is being rotated. The cage f is connected to and rotates one sun wheel g<4> of an epicyclic quantity mechanism g .. g<4>, the other sun wheel g<3> of which is driven through worm gearing j, j<1> by the meter. The planet wheels g<1>, g<2> are carried by the radius arm g, the spindle h of which carries a valve-operating disc k. The sun wheels may be in the form of crown wheels engaging two planet wheels mounted at opposite ends of a radially disposed arm. Instead of the spindle h driving the valve-operating disc k directly, it may drive it through a Maltese cross gear as shown in Fig. 5, thereby permitting repeated operation of the coin-holder mechanism to cover a large range of prepayment. The spindle h drives a crank plate r having a segmental boss r<1> and a crank pin r<2> to drive intermittently the member t which is connected to the valve-operating disc k.
