Title: Improvements relating to methods of and apparatus for the production of concrete slabs or blocks, and to the product thereof
IPC: B28B7/16
Filed: 1931-05-21
Abstract: 378,558. Moulding hollow concrete blocks &c. WHITAKER, D., 24, Hodford Road, Golders Green, London. May 21, 1931, No. 15035. [Class 87 (ii).] Hollow concrete blocks &c. are made bv introducing cores into a mould, compressing the concrete located between the cores, then adding concrete and compressing the whole upper surface to complete the block. The compression is effected by a tamping head comprising a series of bars 22 constituting a grid for operating on the concrete between the cores, and a member 26 carrying a set of adjustable members 24 which can be lowered against spring pressure to be flush with the bars 22. The member 26 is lowered by a cam 32 actuated by a handle 31. The tamping member is raised by cams 43 driven through gearing by a handle 49, and is allowed to drop on to the concrete. The mould is carried by a table 2 which may be elevated by cams 3 on a shaft 8, the mould having fixed sides and apertured ends, one or both of the ends being pivoted and actuated by a handle 14 through eccentrics and rocking levers 17. The cores 19 are slid longitudinally into position in the mould by rack and pinion gear driven by a hand-wheel 57. Material is supplied to the mould by a bottomless hopper 50 running on rails and sliding over a fixed plate 53.

Title: Electrolytic Production of a Protective Coating on Articles
Inventor: CAMPBELL WILLIAM JOHN
IPC: C25D5/08
Filed: 1966-04-05
Abstract: 1,159,392. Apparatus for electrolytic treatment of rotating articles. W.J. CAMPBELL. March 31, 1967 [April 5, 1966], No.15036/66. Heading C7B.  In a method of electrolytically producing a protective coating upon an article e.g. by anodizing or electro-plating, the periphery of the article is continuously rotated such that a portion only thereof is immersed in the electrolyte at any one time and the electrolyte is caused to flow in contact with the immersed portion at right angles to the direction of rotation thereof. In the form shown a cylindrical article 1 is rotated about shafts 2 positioned at each end thereof such that part of the periphery of the cylinder is immersed in electrolyte 5 contained in the tank 4. Beneath and about the cylinder 1 is positioned an arcuate sheet 9 e.g. of copper, stainless steel or other metal or of a plastics material having metal strips attached thereto, which sheet serves as a baffle and forms the counter-electrode. Electrolyte 5 is supplied via inlet 15 to the arcuate passage between the cylinder 1 and sheet 9 to flow through the passage and thereafter to flow between the underside of the baffle 9 and the floor of the tank 4 to pass over baffle 16 to outlet 17 - see arrows 5. Copper baffles used may be rigid or flexible and if the latter, the curvature of the copper sheet may be adjusted according to the diameter of the cylindrical article to be coated. One end of the base of the baffle may be raised with respect to the other end to accommodate conical shaped workpieces. Further electrolyte may be supplied to the cell, e.g. by means of a sparge tube 18 positioned above the workpiece, having a plurality of jets increasing in size from the inlet end of the tank to supply a greater cooling effect furthest therefrom. The process may be used for anodizing large cylindrical aluminium articles such as torpedoes.
Patent GB-1465005-A (GB)
Title: Large clock mechanism with an electrically driven chiming mechanism
IPC: G04C21/12
Filed: 1974-04-04
Abstract: 1465005 Chiming clocks ERHARD JAUCH 4 April 1974 [4 April 1973] 15050/74 Heading G3T In order to reduce the resistance offered to a clock movement by a chime control mechanism, the latter comprises two overlapping wheels, one driven by the clock train to initiate chiming and the other by the chiming train to limit the chime period, the wheels having respective apertures, and sensing means being provided in the area where the wheels overlap to actuate the chiming mechanism when apertures on the two wheels are in coincidence. As shown a wheel 18 on the hour hand shaft drives wheels 66, 70 and thus a chime initiating wheel 154. The latter revolves once per hour and has four radially and circumferentially spaced apertures 160. Wheel 156 is coupled to an electric chiming train drive motor 30, Fig. 2, and has four apertures formed by cut-outs 166 and an edge recess 168. When an aperture 160 is rotated into coincidence with an aperture 166 or 168, chiming is initiated and is terminated by the resulting rotation of wheel 156. The motor 30 is energized via a transistor amplifier 174 which is triggered when circuit section 170 is in oscillation. This section includes a band-pass filter of which inductors L1, L2 are only coupled when two wheel apertures are in coincidence. A main switch 102 is opened by a wheel 112 coupled to the clock train to silence the chimes at night, or may be operated manually by a lever 146. A number of riders 124 are removably fitted on the wheel 112 to determine the silent period. The sensing means may comprise coupled capacitors in the band-pass circuit, instead of inductors, or light emitters and receivers on opposite sides of the control wheels.

Abstract: 542,517. Removing paints and varnishes. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., and ANDERSON, J. T. Oct. 14, 1940, No. 15217. [Class 95] [Also in Group XL] A binder holding a thin layer of powdered inorganic substance on a foundation is removed by first treating it with the vapour of a solvent for the binder, and then removing the treated binder by applying the same or a further solvent or mixture of solvents; the powder being left adhering to the foundation. The invention is described in connection with the manufacture of tubular fluorescent lamps to the inside of which is applied a coating of powdered fluorescent substance in a viscous fluid, such as a solution of nitrocellulose. The nitrocellulose binder is then softened by treating it with acetone vapour, for example by bubbling air through acetone and then passing it through the tube, or by allowing liquid acetone in one end of the tube to vaporize. When softened, most of the nitrocellulose is removed by applying acetone or acetyl acetate. The usual baking for removing the binder is shortened or omitted.

Divided out of and addition to 634,196 under which a Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Sept. 29, 1947. [Class 38 (iv)] In a system for the low frequency modulation of a higher frequency load current as described in the patent Specification, the modulating windings of the reactors are fed through circuit elements which introduce a lag between current changes in these windings and current changes in the load circuit. As shown in Fig. 1, modulating windings 22 of self-magnetizing reactors 21 through which a load 3 is supplied, are energized by a rectifier 4 shunting the load, the circuit of the windings 22 including a self-heating thermo-negative resistance 9 which in association with a constant resistance 10 causes both the modulation and the desired current lag in the windings 22. The resistor 9 may be additionally heated by the load current. In the arrangement of Fig. 4, current lag in windings 22 is obtained by energizing these from a secondary winding 13 on a gapped core of a reactor 12 fed either from the rectifier 4, as shown, or from across the two self-magnetization rectifiers 24.
