Filed: 1961-01-26
Abstract: 911,027. Cellular cartons. UNIPACK CARTONS Ltd. Jan 26, 1961, No. 3160/61. Class 18.  A cellular subdividing structure for cartons is formed from a pair of sheets 300, 301, and a plurality of strings 400 secured to the sheet at 401, 403, one sheet 300 and the strips being cut along the line 500 and folded to form a structure as in Fig. 3. A 1-shaped handle 58 may be provided, the vertical leg of which extends snugly through a slot cut centrally along fold line 38 and through some of the flanges 401. The handle 58 illustrated in Fig. 12 has a narrow horizontal portion 50, enabling it to be slidably retracted within a carton 11 as shown; an alternative handle fills the full depth of the slot between 36 and 37 and is not retractable. The cellular structure is placed in a cardboard box and this assembly may be collapsed as in Fig. 9, by folding the end walls 14, 15 about central creases 26, 27.

Title: Improvements in apparatus for forming fibres
IPC: C03B37/04
Filed: 1961-01-27
Abstract: 914,914. Forming glass fibres. OWENSCORNING FIBERGLAS CORPORATION. Jan. 27, 1961 [Sept. 19, 1960], No. 3292/61. Addition to 895,540. Class 56. In apparatus as broadly claimed in the parent Specification, the deflector disposed within the centrifuge across the stream of fibre-forming material is hollow and has its upper wall formed of porous material, means being provided to feed, to the interior of the deflector, a gaseous coolant which escapes through the porous metal to form a gaseous film over the surface to cushion the supply stream. The described embodiment is similar to that of the parent Specification, the supply stream 12 being deflected at 59a by air blown over the surface of the deflector 38a from a slot 53a in an arcuate tube 50a fed from a pipe 52a. The porous upper surface of the deflector 38a is formed of compressed granular metal. The interior of the deflector is fed with air, which escapes through the porous metal, from a pipe 64 which replaces the two pipes which provide a circulation of coolant in the parent Specification. Initial heating of the interior of the centrifuge is provided by burning gas at holes 63 in a pipe 62 instead of burning a gas-air mixture at the slot 53a as in the previous embodiment.

Abstract: 1,192,262. Character recognition. BRITISH AIRCRAFT CORP. Ltd. Jan. 17, 1969 [Jan. 22, 1968], No. 3294/68. Headings G2C and G2J. A method of recording an optical filter for use in a matched filter character recognition system in which the filter has transmission characteristics representative of a pattern or character comprises illuminating one side of a partially reflective surface 7 with a beam of coherent light from a laser 1, and pressing a material 4 carrying the character or pattern against the opposite side of surface 7, the material and the surface having substantially different moisture contents and the characters and the material having substantially different rates of absorption such that the characters appear on the surface sharply defined in terms of clear and moistened portions, the amplitude and phase of the reflected light being characterized by diffraction of the incident light from the boundaries between the clear and misted portions, and the resultant phase and amplitude variations being recorded at a photographic plate which is developed to form the filter. In one embodiment the reflected light is converged on to a photographic plate 6 lying in the focal plane of a lens 5. In an alternative embodiment some of the light from laser 1 is separated to form a reference beam of similar path length to the incident beam, which incident beam after reflection is superimposed upon the reference beam in the plane of photographic plate 6 to form a hologram. Either the side of the surface 7 may be moistened or a moistened paper 4 may be placed in contact with a cool side of surface 7. The method may have application in identifying postal codes written in ink on envelopes.

Roving or spinning frames are doffed and donned and the frames and/or air and floor space therebetween are cleaned by separate apparatuses carried on a horizontally movable overhead carriage. The doffing-and-donning apparatus may be as described in Specification 902,972 the cleaning apparatus may comprise co-operating air blowing and suction trunks. As shown, a carriage 17 is reversibly driven along support rails 19 by a motor 23 through driven and idler support wheels 27 and 29 so as to move parallel to rows of spinning frames 11. The carriage mounts a bobbin doffing- and-donning crane 35 comprising vertically movable internested bobbin carrier beams 35a and driven by a motor 37 through drive wheels 41 for cross-travel on rails 33. The carriage also carries, at each end and depending into alleys 13 between the frames, pairs of blowing and suction trunks 53, 51, formed of soft, flexible rubber or plastic material and each respectively comprising air orifices 53a and a narrow mouth formed at the bottom of a flared end, Fig. 4 (not shown) which rides in contact with or slightly above the floor.

Abstract: 929,681. Closures for resisting fluid pressure. FOSTER WHEELER Ltd. Jan. 30, 1962 [Jan. 30, 1961], No. 3542/61. Class 123 (1). [Also in Group XL (a)] A pressure vessel 10 has access holes 12, each of which is closed by a diaphragm 14 disposed within the hole and seal-welded to the vessel, and a plug 16 is removably located in the hole to serve as a backing for the diaphragm. To fix the diaphragm the hole is provided with lugs 18. The diaphragm has a depending peripheral flange 20 and a complementary flange 22 is formed in the hole, and together they form two parts of a toroid. The fixing is effected by a weld 24. To fix the plug lugs 26 are provided in the hole and the plug has a groove 28 bounded by lugs 30 which can pass through the spaces between lugs 26. Lugs 26 and 30 are peripherally sloped in the manner of screw-threads so that when the plug is inserted in the hole and rotated the mating surfaces of the lugs will hold the plug in position. The plug may be toroidally welded to the vessel by welds 34. Removal of the closure is effected by cutting the welds 24 and 34. The diaphragm is corrugated near its periphery to increase its flexibility, and the corrugations are circular grooves cut in its top and bottom faces.

A cup-shaped member, for containing a dental impression and supporting a mouldable substance, e.g. plaster of Paris, when it is applied to said impression, is made of a flexible and resilient substance and comprises a base portion and foldable wing members connected to or formed integral with the base at an intermediate position, said members being adapted to be bent and clipped together to form an arcuate wall around the base. The container may be a piece of rubber, possibly foamed, with a textile backing, polyethylene, or a piece of paper, waxed paper or card. The dental impression on a tray is placed on the base 1, adjacent to back wall 2, and the side walls 3, which are of tapering width and are flanged at the outer base 8, are clipped together so that the flanges 8 engage either a symmetrical pair of ribs 6 or the lips 4 symmetrically placed on the base 1. The lips 4 taper towards the wall 2 and there merge with the base. The handle of the tray rests on a ridge 5 in the lips at the front of the container and is lower than the adjacent lips. Plaster of Paris is then admitted to the impression and its container. Provision is made whereby a bung, removable or integral with the base, separates the limbs of an impression for a lower denture and whereby the container may carry metallic reinforcement. In a modification, Fig. 5 (not shown), a lost 13 in the back wall is preferred to the ridge 5 and part of the base itself is bent so that with the wings 12 it helps to form the side walls of the container. In a further modification Fig. 7 (not shown), the container is assembled in the known carton fashion..
