Title: Cartridge clip and a machine for filling the clip with cartridges
IPC: F41A9/84
Filed: 1974-02-22
Abstract: 1414604 Clips: filling machine: feed strips FRANCE ARMED FORCES MINISTER OF 22 Feb 1974 [25 May 1973] 8291/74 Headings F3A and F3C A cartridge clip 1, Fig. 4, comprises an elongated body having resilient side walls 1a which enable the rim ends of the cartridges to be introduced into the clip transversely of the body by a snap action. The clip is made of a polycarbonate or a polyamide and has two pairs of axially spaced stops if for limiting the insertion of either end of the body into a magazine. Accidental loss of the cartridges from the clip is prevented by a pair of stops (not shown) attached to the inner surfaces of the walls 1a at each end of the body. The cartridges are dischargeable from the clip by exerting a longitudinal thrust on the cartridges and causing resilient separation of the end stops. A machine for filling the clip, comprises: an intermittently rotating drum 3, Fig. 5, formed with longitudinal rows of radial bores 4; a station 5 for dispensing cartridges under the action of gravity; a station 10 for depositing a clip on the rim ends of the cartridges ; a roller for snapping the clip on to the rim ends of the cartridges; and a stationary cam 19 for discharge the full clips from the drum.

Title: Improvements in the colouration of textile materials
IPC: D06P1/92
Filed: 1945-04-04
Abstract: A textile colouring composition, particularly for printing, comprises a solution of a dye in an aqueous methyl-, ethyl-, n-propyl-, or iso-propyl-alcohol of at least 50 per cent strength by weight, thickened with a water-soluble methyl cellulose. Cellulose acetate dyes, acid wool dyes, direct cotton dyes and mordant dyes may be used.  When dyeing cellulose acetate, there may be present also softening agents such as thiocyanates, di- or poly-alkylene glycols, thio-diglycol, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol, esters of hydroxy carboxylic acids and esters of di-or polyhydric alcohols or of di- or poly-alkylene glycols.  Water-soluble methyl cellulose having a methoxy content of 22 to 30 per cent and a high viscosity is preferably used.  In an example, cellulose acetate crepe fabric is printed with a paste containing Solway Green GS dissolved in a solution of water-soluble methyl cellulose in a 75/25 mixture of methylated spirit and water, and thiodiglycol, steamed and washed. In another example, cellulose acetate is printed with a solution containing a chrome dye, chromium acetate, ammonium thiocyanate and a solution of water-soluble methyl cellulose in methylated spirits and water, steamed and washed. Specifications 542,180, 559,991 and 583,349 are referred to.

Abstract: 564,080. Street lamps. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. May 26, 1943, No. 8423. Convention date, May 26, 1942. [Classes 75 (ii) and 75 (iv)] A reflector system suitable for installation in standard luminaries for street and highway lighting comprises an ellipsoidal reflector 20, Fig. 1, supported by brackets 21 in the lamp housing 11 with its focal point coinciding with the centre of light source 16 and its axis vertical, the surface of the reflector being extended approximately to the level of the conjugate focus and having an opening of such a size that the beam of direct light covers the width of the highway and two diametrically opposite notches 23 being formed in the reflector edge so that the beam of direct light covers a substantial length of the highway. A secondary reflector 25 having an elliptical base and its reflection surfaces centred about the conjugate focus is supported by a stirrup bracket 26 below the reflector 20 to reflect the light projected from the reflector 20 in two beams coinciding with the light beams projected through the notches 23.

Title: Improvements in inductances
IPC: H01F27/00
Filed: 1922-03-23
Abstract: 197,140. Onwood, A. March 23, 1922. Inductances.-All the coils of a set of inductance coils are wound between end cheeks of similar form and dimensions. The coils are wound so that the spacing between successive turns of a layer or the spacing between successive layers, or both, is different for each coil of the set, the spacing being greater the fewer the turns in the coil. The coils may thus be wound so that they all have the same volume. In order that the spacing between the layers may be varied, the end cheeks a, Fig. 1, are formed with slots which receive members e, Fig. 3, upon which the layers are wound and which hold the cheeks together. Various numbers of the members e may be inserted between adjacent layers, two being shown between successive layers in Fig. 1. The ends of the coil are soldered to split pin terminals n, o. A space may be left through the windings to receive a rod to enable the coil to be rotated about a diameter.

Abstract: 403,683. Controlling motor vehicles. FELIES, J. F., 56, St. Jansplein, Antwerp, Belgium. March 22, 1932, No. 8534. Convention date, March 26, 1931. [Class 79 (v).] Controlling-apparatus comprises two powerfluid regulating members controllable by the same foot, one member being adapted to decrease the power-fluid supply as the foot pressure thereon increases while the other is adapted to increase the power-fluid supply when the foot pressure thereon increases. One of the members may also control the clutch or foot brake. In the construction shown the clutch or brake pedal lever 1 carries a sliding pin 2 provided with a foot plate 3 and adapted to close a throttle valve 7 in the induction pipe 8, against the action of a spring 9, by means of a lever 4 and a Bowden cable 5. A second pedal or heel plate 10 pivotally supported at 11 is adapted to open a throttle valve 16, against the action of a closing spring 17, by means of a lever 13 and a Bowden cable 14. Thus, when both pedals are released valve 7 is open and 16 is closed. At starting the toe piece 3 is first depressed and the valve 7 is closed, except for the usual slow running opening ; the heel piece 10 is then depressed to open the valve 16 fully, as shown, and control during running is obtained by means of the toe piece 3 and the valve 7.

Title: Cinematographic film feed counter giving an audible signal

Filed: 1951-04-19
Abstract: 702,157. Kinematograph apparatus. PAILLARD SOC. ANON. April 19, 1951 [June 5 ,1950], No. 9152/51. Class 97(1) A film feed counter is driven by two pinions held in driving engagement resiliently, the driven pinion being checked by a stop, for example at the end of the film run, so that continuing rotation of the driving pinion produces successive engagements and disengagements of the pinions to produce an audible signal. The camera parts shown are carried on a plate 5. The mechanism drives through gears 1, 2, a worm 3 meshing with a gear 6 on a shaft 7 carrying a film feed indicating disc 8. The disc rotation is limited to one revolution by projections 9, 10 on the disc and on the plate 5. A spring 11 round the shaft 7 is tensioned as winding proceeds. The upper end 12 of the shaft 7 is carried in a bearing in a lever 13 carried on a pivot 14 and held against the plate 5 by a headed rivet 13. A spring 16, acting on the lever, holds the gear 6 in mesh with the worm 3. When the projections 9 and 10 engage, at or near the end of the film run, continued rotation of the worm 3 forces the gear 6 out of mesh but the spring 16 remeshes it after the passage of a tooth. The successive remeshing produces an audible signal. To re-set the counter a pivoted lever 18 is moved down so that a projecting pin 21 engages a ramp 17 on the lever 13 to disengage the gear 6 from the worm 3 to allow the spring 11 to return the disc 8 to zero.
