Title: A process and apparatus for reducing the body temperature of carcasses
IPC: F25D13/06
Filed: 1959-05-06
Abstract: 902,522. Cooling poultry &c. GORDON JOHNSON EQUIPMENT CO. May 6, 1959 [June 21, 1958], No. 15538/59. Class 29. Carcases, such as freshly killed poultry, are passed down a shoot 72, Fig. 2b, into the interior of a foraminous cylinder 22 which is continuously rotated in a tank 12, Fig. 6, which contains water 104, or other liquid, the water being used to carry the poultry to a compartment 82, Fig. 2a, where an inclined conveyer 80 removes them from the water 104. The water returns from compartment 82 to the end of tank 12 adjacent shoot 72 via an open top conduit 108, rotating paddles 120, Fig. la, in the conduit 108 ensuring circulation of the water. Fresh water may be continuously supplied to the apparatus with an overflow ensuring a constant level therein. A prime mover 124 is coupled by chains 126, 128 to the paddles 120 and conveyer 80 respectively. A prime mover and gear-box unit 62 drives, through chains 64 and sprocket wheels 60, a pair of aligned shafts 42, 44, carrying pulleys 48, 50, 54, 56. Four belts, such as 52, Fig. 6, pass around the pulleys and grooved flanges on the cylinder 22 to rotate and support the latter, roller guides 152 preventing lateral and longitudinal movement of the cylinder 22. The cylinder 22 may be formed of three longitudinally connected sections, each section being composed of segments bolted together with the interposition of vanes 36 to ensure adequate movement of the water through the foraminous surface of the cylinder 22. The supporting legs 130 may be telescopic.

Title: Improvements relating to liquid immersed circuit breakers having arc extinguishing provision
IPC: H01H33/14
Filed: 1939-05-25
Abstract: 529,846. Liquid-blast switches. FLURSCHEIM, C. H.. and METROPOLITAN-VICKERS ELECTRICAL CO., Ltd. May 25, 1939, No. 15555. [Class 38 (v)] The contacts of a liquidimmersed switch are disposed adjacent arc - constraining surfaces forming a corner along which the arc is drawn and the conductors leading to the contacts are arranged to force the arc electrodynamically into the corner, one or more cross-jet passages being provided for leading the liquid across the arc. The invention is applicable to the arrangements described in Specifications 506,857 and 525,622 in which series isolators are provided. In Fig. 1, a series of bridging-members 6 .. 8 .. are provided on an insulating operating rod 3 and carry at each end a contact 19 co-operating with a contact 18, the latter being interconnected by U.shaped members 16 so that all the breaks are in series. In the original drawing, six bridging-members 6 &c. are shown. A shield 21 is mounted on the supporting board 1 which is apertured at 20 to provide a cross-jet passage against each contact 18, and are-resistant side plates 22 are mounted adjacent to each shield. The jet may be produced by the arc, by another arc, or by a piston associated with rod 3. The flux due to the limbs 17 of members 16 forces the arcs into the corners against the passages 20 and where an arc lies parallel to the long part of the member 16, the repulsive effect of the oppositely-flowing currents produces the same result. The board 1 may be mounted as a partition in a horizontal insulating cylinder with the larger, contact - containing compartment below, and a barrier running the length of the cylinder and at right-angles to the board so as to separate the apertures 20 on the two sides of the board. The cylinder may however be vertically arranged or at any other angle. In Fig. 3, a conventional oil switch is shown with a container 33, 34 mounted on each lead-in insulator, each container having two bridging members 35, 36 interconnecting contacts 37, 39, and 41, 42, respectively. Contacts 37 are connected to the respective lead-in conductors, contacts 39, 41 are connected to conductors 40, and contacts 42 are connected to contacts 43 which are engaged by the bridge-member 44 before the latter closes the other contacts by means of the lift-rods 46. Each container comprises an apertured base-board analogous to 1 in Fig. 1, and a cover member, Fig. 4 (not shown). The Provisional Specification refers also to jet passages in opposite walls of the oil-chamber, so that the blasts are oppositely-directed, and also to two jets at right-angles.

Title: An improved process for separating substances from solutions, and particularly paraffin wax from petroleum
IPC: C10G73/06
Filed: 1920-06-09
Abstract: 166,031. Sharples, P. T. June 9, 1920. Mineral waxes, extracting. -A dissolved substance is precipitated by chilling and is then separated by centrifuging with a heavier immiscible liquid that will not freeze at this temperature. In the extraction of paraffin wax from petroleum products, such as crude oils, lubricating stock, and cylinder stock, the stock is diluted with 1¢ vols. of naptha in a tank 1, chilled gradually over 48 hrs. to -10‹ F., and run into a centrifuge 4 fed simultaneously and at -10‹ F. with the heavier liquid, such as a solution of calcium chloride, sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, sodium nitrate, ammonium sulphate, or ammonium nitrate, from a tank 5 and pipe 6. The oil is taken away by a pipe 8, while the brine and wax mixture discharges through a pipe 9 to a settling-tank 10. The lower layer, brine, is run off by gravity through a pipe 11 and forced by a pump 13 through a pipe 14 to the tank 5 for re-use. The floating layer, wax and emulsified brine, is melted by passing steam through a coil 16 and is passed by a pipe 17 to a centrifuge 19 from which the wax is discharged through a pipe 20, and the brine is discharged to a tank 22 to be sucked through a pipe 23 and forced to the tank 5 by the pump 13. More brine may be mixed with the wax &c. passing down pipe 17 to the centrifuge 19 by closing valve 15 and opening valve 26 in the pipe 25.

Title: Improvements in pulleys
IPC: F16N9/02
Filed: 1925-06-18
Abstract: 235,900. Colas, J. E., and Bertault, G. M. June 21, 1924, [Convention date]. Capillary-action lubricating.-A pulley having a hollow interior 4 for lubricant has radial tubes 9 projecting inwardly from the peripheral groove 1 and containing wicks 11 whose inner ends surround the hub 5, the outer ends of the tubes 9 being closed by conical plugs 10 having screwed plugs 21 therein. The lubricant level XX is such that when the pulley is stationary lubricant cannot enter the tubes 9. When the pulley stops running lubricant flowing down the pulley sides saturates the inner ends of the wicks 11 and passes by capillarity towards the plugs 10, and thence along the threads of the plugs 21 to the groove 1. Lubricant also passes along the threads of the hub 5 to the side faces of the pulley from whence it runs on to the shaft 6. The shaft adjacent the middle plane of the pulley may be lubricated by lubricant which passes along the threads of a plug 20, or the hub 5 may be in two parts having a space between them which may be left clear or filled with a felt or like absorbent washer. The slackness of the threads of the plugs 20, 21 may be varied to regulate the flow of lubricant. Lubricant inlet and air outlet apertures are closed by spring-controlled ball valves 14, 18 in tubes 12, 16 respectively. Instead of opening into the groove 1, as shown, the filling and air outlet apertures may be made in the pulley sides 2, 3.

Title: Improvements in or relating to storage batteries
IPC: H01M50/457
Filed: 1944-08-18
Abstract: 580,390. Galvanic batteries. THURSTON, A. P. Aug. 18, 1944, No. 15804. Convention date, Dec. 20, 1943. [Class 53] A storage battery separator consists of a pair of glass fibre mats separated by rods of synthetic resin which may be attached to the glass mats. Fig. 2 shows in plan the positive and negative electrodes 11, 12 of a battery with the intervening separators. The mats 20, 21 are made of glass fibres which may be bonded together with starch, gelatin, phenol formaldehyde resin, furfural resin or other binder. The mats 20 which make contact with the positive electrodes may be thicker than the mats 21 and may be of thinner fibres. Between the mats are a number of rods 25 which are made of a synthetic resin and which may be secured to the mats by an adhesive consisting of a solution of the resin in a volatile solvent. Suitable resins are nylon, polystyrene, saran (vinylidene chloride), vinyon (Registered Trade Mark, Copolymer of vinyl chloride and vinyl acetate), koroseal (plasticized polyvinyl chloride), acrylic acid ester resins such as methacrylate resins, for example, lucite. As an alternative to the use of adhesives for securing the rods to the glass mats, the rods and mats may be assembled in position and heated to soften the rods. The application of pressure during cooling causes the rods and mats to adhere together. Fig. 3 shows an apparatus for producing the separators in a continuous length which can be cut to the required dimensions. A die 31 is provided with several nozzles spaced apart in a straight line through which the rods 32 of synthetic resin are extruded. Glass fibre mats are unwound from rolls 34, 35 and brought into contact with the rods 32 by means of rolls 39, 40. The rods are still soft and tacky when they reach the rolls 39, 40 and they adhere to the glass mats on hardening. Specification 154,083, [Class 53], is referred to.

Title: Apparatus for handling bobbins
Inventor: CRUICKSHANK D
IPC: B65H67/06
Filed: 1968-08-07
Abstract: 1,242,870. Rotary elevators. LEESONA CORP. 7 Aug., 1968 [11 Sept., 1967 (3); 12 Sept., 1967], No. 15873/70. Divided out of 1,242,868. Heading B8A. [Also in Divisions D1-D2] The subject-matter of this Specification is identical with that described in Specification 1,242,868 but the main claim is concerned with the bobbin orienting drum 86 described below. Bobbin orienting drum 86.-This is a cylindrical housing 91, Figs. 8 and 9, that runs on rollers 93, 94 between stationary walls 88, 89. The inner surface of the housing 91 has channels 121 into which the bobbins are dropped by the shoot 85. The drum rotates in the direction of the arrow 123 and the channels 121 are of such a size that only one bobbin can be accommodated in each channel. A guide plate 130 prevents the bobbins from dropping out of the channels 121 until they reach top dead-centre. At top dead centre are a pair of gauges 133, one pair for each of the two ends of the bobbin. Each gauge 133 comprises a pair of abutments spaced apart sufficiently to pass only the small end 20 of a bobbin 15 but not its large end. Therefore, the small end 20 of the bobbin falls between the adjacent gauge abutments 134 and the bobbin 15 pivots downwardly with its large end 19 supported on the other gauge 133 so that the bobbins pass out of the drum 186 through a discharge shoot 135, opening through the drum end wall 89, always with their small end 20 first. A resilient finger 136 is mounted on and extends upwardly from the upper end of the guide member 130 to lift any partially full bobbins 15 so that they will be properly positioned for recept by the gauges 133. The discharge shoot 135 leads the bobbins into a tube 136 at the bottom of which is a plunger 137 of a double-acting accelerator drive cylinder 138.

Abstract: 1,000,632. Conveyers; shoots; loading and unloading. NEW CONVEYOR CO. Ltd. April 26, 1963 [April 26, 1962], No. 15930/62. Headings B8A, B8E and B8S. An endless conveyer section 11 pivoted at 12 is provided with a position control member in the form of a plumb bob electrode, the control member being connected to an actuating device in the form of an electronic capacity switch 15 which controls a winch 16 connected to the outer end of the pivoted conveyer section 11. When material 18 discharged from the conveyer section reaches a level that the material approaches on the control member 14, the actuating device causes the winch 16 to lift the conveyer section to a new position which enables discharge of material to proceed without the end of the conveyer becoming fouled or submerged. The actuating device 15 may also be arranged to arrest the conveying element 10 while the conveyor section is being moved to a new position. The conveyer may be used for conveying goods or material towards the pivot axis 12, the pivoted section being moved progressively downwards as loading proceeds. The pivoted section may comprise a shoot which may be vibrated in the longitudinal direction. Alternatively, the section may be a roller conveyer.

Abstract: 1463000 Change-speed gear; ratchet clutches JUN-KAI SUN and LIAN-SHENG LO 11 April 1974 [13 Sept 1973] 16068/74 Headings F2D and F2C In a multi-speed transmission gear comprising drive gear wheels 21 . . . 26 freely rotatable on a hollow input shaft 11 and in constant mesh with respective wheels 28 . . . 33 fast on, or connected by free-wheel clutches to, an output shaft 20, a selector shaft 16 slidable in the input shaft and having a key 17 pivotally mounted thereon for radial movement to engage a ratchet-shaped recess in each drive wheel is connected by a thrust bearing 43, Fig. 3, to a non-rotatable piston-rod 44 of which the piston 46 is subject on one side 48 to hydraulic fluid pressurized by an air or gas accumulator 50 and on the other side 47 to hydraulic pressure subject to control by a selector with a manual lever 56 and generated by a governor pump 52 driven by the shaft 11. When the lever 56 is positioned at R fluid from the pump 52 is returned to sump 54 through a by-pass Br which ensures that at no speed of the input shaft does the pressure applied through a conduit 51 to the side 47 of the piston exceed the initial accumulator pressure whereby the shaft 16 remains in its rightmost position with the key 17 locking the hub of a reverse pinion 35 to the input shaft. The pinion 35 comprises a toothed ring freely rotatable on the hub and supported by idler gears 36 on studs 37 and connected to an output shaft pinion 42 through a transfer gear mounted on a stud 41. A centrifugal clutch (not shown) between the hub and the toothed ring of the pinion 35 engages to establish reverse ratio only when the input shaft speed exceeds a predetermined value. Movement of the lever 56 to position N causes the discharge from the pump to pass through a by-pass Bn which results in a constant pressure, irrespective of drive shaft speed, to be applied through the conduit 51 to the piston 46 such that the latter positions the key 17 in a casing opening 78. When the lever 56 is positioned at L fluid is discharged through a by-pass Bl which is such as to allow the pressure in the conduit 51 to rise progressively with drive shaft speed up to a predetermined speed above which the pressure remains constant thereby causing the successive engagement of the wheels 21 ... 24 by the key 17 to provide four forward ratios. The wheel 21 incorporates a centrifugal clutch which functions similarly to that of the reverse pinion 35. Positioning of the lever 56 at D causes discharge of fluid through by-passes Bd, Rd which allow the key 17 to engage successively with the wheels 21 ... 26 as input shaft speed rises to provide six forward ratios.
