Title: Improvements in and relating to fastenings for boxes, cases and other containers
IPC: B65D45/20
Filed: 1943-08-06
Abstract: 569,928. Fastenings for boxes &c. DINGWALL, T. E. Aug. 6, 1943, No. 12764. [Class 18] [Also in Group XXV] A quick-release fastening for rigid boxes, cases &c., e.g. packing cases, transit cases, carrying boxes, military supply cases, stores cases and fish boxes, comprises a cross-bar 4 in the form of a flat strip at each end carried by arms 5 pivoted at 13a, the configuration being such that, in the closed position, the plane containing the pivot axis and the longitudinal axis of the cross-bar is inclined at an oblique angle to the plane of the strip 4. Various methods of pivoting and of securing the fastenings in closure position are described. The latter include the slotting of arm 5 so that it may be moved relatively to its pivot to disengage the bar 4 from a strip which normally restricts its movement. In an alternative, the arms 5 are held by nails 12a. The lids may be hinged, or may be positioned by battens on the inner faces.

Title: Improvements in and relating to lock washers
IPC: B21D53/20
Filed: 1939-04-28
Abstract: 528,159. Lock-washers. JORDAN, E. April 28, 1939, No. 12814. [Class 89 (i)] [Also in Group XXII] A method of manufacturing lock-washers with radially arranged overlapping tongues is characterized in making them from a metal sheet swaging pressure being applied laterally to the tongue to bend or twist them. In manufacture holes 1 are punched in a sheet of metal and radial cuts 3 then made to form the tongues which are bent and swaged as shown in Fig. 4 by pressure applied downwardly at 5 and upwardly at 6 to provide overlapping sections. The washer is then cut out of the sheet except for two small connecting portions 7 which are broken by forcing the washer out of the sheet. Washers with the tongues arranged on the outside may be similarly made.

Abstract: 611,358. Moulding composite rings consisting partly of resilient material. FENNER & CO., Ltd., J. H. HALL, T., HAINSWORTH, S. B., HICKMAN, J. C., and DENT, C. April 29, 1946, No. 12886. [Class 87(ii)] A sleeve of rubber &c. 14 (or separate rings of rubber) is forced into mould spaces formed by spaced washers 10 and against confining rings 8, the inner surfaces of which have been so treated as to bond the rubber thereto. The rubber is maintained in that position whilst it is cured by heat. The sharp inner edges of the washers cut the rubber into rings. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 the rubber is forced into the mould. spaces by expansion of a tube 11 of synthetic rubber, which is dusted with talc to prevent adhesion to the sleeve, the tube being expanded by compressed air through connector 13. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 2 the sleeve itself is expanded into the mould spaces. Each ring 8 may have a radial groove to permit escape of air. The curing may be effected by placing the apparatus in an autoclave or between heated clamps or in a liquid bath. Specifications 537,654 and 576,233, [both in Group XXVI], are referred to.

[Also in Group XXXVIII] Relates to a device for measuring gravity, weight or vertical acceleration comprising a weight 1 tensioning a filament 2 variations in the frequency of transverse vibrations being measured, and consists in means for compensating for variations due to temperature, creep, &c. The strip vibrates between the poles of a magnet 8 and is in the feed-back path of an oscillator whose frequency thus varies with the tension. To measure variation in frequency the output of the oscillator is beat with each of three phases from a crystal controlled oscillator to produce three phase beats which are applied to a synchronous motor which makes one rotation for each beat, the beats being counted by a gear train and dials. This arrangement differentiates between frequencies greater and frequencies less than the standard, and allows integration over a period of time.
