Patent GB-695663-A (GB)
Title: Hatch cover
IPC: B63B19/18
Filed: 1951-05-09
Abstract: 695,663. Hatch covers. WATERMAN STEAMSHIP CORPORATION. May 9, 1951; [June 21, 1950] No. 10872/51. Class 113 (i). In a hatch cover comprising sections 7 having a long portion (the left half in Fig. 6) overlapping the hatch coaming 3 and a shorter portion (the right half in Fig. 6), means are provided supporting the section in unbalanced condition so that it tends to rotate from a horizontal position (shown in Fig. 6 and the right of Fig. 2) covering the hatch to a vertical position (shown at the left in Fig. 2) in which the shorter portion projects down into the hatch. The coaming 3 has a ledge 4 carrying a bulb angle 5 and a track 6 with teeth and a smooth portion which engage the teeth and smooth portion respectively of a roller 12 secured on a shaft 10 mounted in a frame 8. In its horizontal position the section 7 is supported by this frame resting on the ledge 4 and is prevented from rotating by a bolt 13 being urged by a spring 18 on to a pad 15 on the coaming. The shaft 10 is driven by a shaft 30 through gearing in a box 31, the shaft 30 having a handle 32, which in its stowed position in a clip 36 is disengaged from the end of the shaft, leaving the latter, and hence the roller 12, free to rotate. The bolt 13 is retracted by gearing in a box 17 actuated by a cross shatt 22 driven by a shaft 24 having a handle 27, so that raising the handle retracts the bolt and a latch falls to hold it retracted. Withdrawing the handle 32 from its stowed position engages a clutch 33 so that turning the handle rotates the shaft 30 and hence the roller 12. The section 7 then turns about the nose 9 of the frame 8 until the section is vertical with the ball 11 of the frame horizontal and clear of the ledge 4, with the smooth portion of the roller supporting the section on the smooth portion of the track 6. The section may then be moved along the track manually or the shaft 30 may be power driven. When a section is lowered to its closed position a trigger 43 strikes the track 6, thereby pivoting a rod 44 inwardly against the tension of a spring 45, rotating a shaft 46 which releases the latch holding the bolt 13, the latter then being projected by the spring 18.

Filed: 1967-03-09
Abstract: 1,212,346 Flushing pigments. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. 19 Feb., 1968 [9 March, 1967], No. 11086/67. Heading C4A. [Also in Division C3] Pigments are "flushed" from an aqueous to a non-aqueous medium by adding a precipitating agent to a stirred mixture of the non-aqueous medium and a dispersion of the pigment in an aqueous medium containing a water-soluble surface-active salt of a water-insoluble carboxylie acid, allowing the mixture to separate, and removing the aqueous layer. The precipitating agent is an acid e.g. CH 3 COOH, a salt of Ca, Ba, or Al, a water-soluble amine salt, a quaternary ammonium salt, or a cationic co-ordination complex of a fatty acid e.g. stearatochromic chloride. The surface-active carboxylic acid salt, preferably consisting 5-50% of the pigment weight, may be the sodium, potassium, ammonium, triethanolammonium, or morpholinium salt of a fatty acid, rosin, a modified rosin, a polymerized unsaturated fatty acid, an acylated amino acid or an acid-modified alkyd resin. The pigment preferably constitutes at least 15% by weight of the aqueous dispersion; numerous organic pigments are specified. The non-aqueous medium may be a lithographic varnish, or an alkyd resin in a hydrocarbon medium such as xylene or white spirit. Acetic acid and a soluble amine salt e.g. diphenylguanidine acetate may be added to assist separation of a clean aqueous medium. Examples 2, 4, 6, 8 and 9 relate to flushing into lithographic varnishes to form printing inks.

Patent GB-698708-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in devices for separating synchronisation and signal pulses in pulse-code modulation systems
IPC: H04J3/06
Filed: 1951-05-15
Abstract: 698,708. Multiplex pulse code signalling; pulse and gating circuits. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. May 15, 1951 [May 17, 1950], No. 11353/51. Classes 40 (v) and 40 (vi) Relates to pulse code modulation systems in which a constantly recurring synchronizing- pulse defines intervals in which signal pulse intervals occur within which signal pulses are present or absent as a function of the signal to be transmitted. The synchronizing pulses are separated at the receiver by controlling therewith a relaxation generator, which, upon responding to a pulse, becomes insensitive for a period smaller than one synchronizing cycle but greater than a cycle less a signal interval. The regenerated pulses from circuit 3 are fed in a positive sense from terminal 5 to the intensity-control electrode 11 of a cathode-ray distributer 6, the scanning electrodes 7, 7<SP>1</SP> of which are supplied from the waveform generator 8 controlled by the synchronizing pulses. Negative regenerated pulses from terminal 4 are fed through a gating diode 39 to the grid of a valve 26 forming with valve 27 a cathode-coupled trigger pair with one stable condition. Upon triggering, the circuit becomes insensitive to applied pulses for the desired period, the gating diode 39 becoming non-conducting due to the drop in voltage on its anode caused by the conduction of valve 27. A clamping diode 35 prevents grid current flow in valve 26 to stabilize the active period of the circuit. For the same purpose the anode voltage of valve 27, when conducting, may be stabilized by a diode connected between its anode and a positive voltage source. The positive pulse at the anode of valve 26 is differentiated by the anode network 30, the positive resultant leading edge pulses causing the class-C amplifier 37 to produce a negative pulse to control the generator 8. It is shown that the separating device automatically hunts for the regularly-recurring synchronizing pulses and then locks in with them. Specifications 662,611, 684,318, 691,824 and 698,707 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to clutch mechanism
IPC: B41J19/64
Filed: 1962-03-27
Abstract: 992,492. Clutch control. LAMSON PARAGON Ltd. March 27, 1962 [April 6, 1961], No. 11600/62. Headings F2C and F2L. [Also in Division B6] A friction clutch particularly for use as a line finder mechanism for a typewriter to automatically skip feed the platen to a series of successive predetermined positions, comprises a spring 22 contracted on to driving and driven drums 10, 14, and having an end 24 fast with the driven drum 14 and an end 26 engaging a notch 38 in a ratchet wheel 28 which has limited rotational movement relative to the driven drum. A latch 62 is pivotally mounted on a pin 66 carried by the ratchet wheel 28 and is engageable in a recess 60 in a latch plate 18 which is fast with the driven drum 14. The latch 62 has an arm 78 engaged in a notch 80 in a control ring 72 supported on the latch plate 18 for limited rotational movement relative thereto. When the clutch is disengaged the latch 62 is engaged in the recess 60 and acts, through the pivot pin 66 and ratchet wheel 28 to expand the spring 22 so that it is held disengaged from the driving drum 10. In order to counteract any tendency of the spring 22 to contract on to the drums, a spring 82 may be provided between the latch plate 18 and the control ring 72 which acts in a generally tangential direction. To engage the clutch the control ring 72 is given an angular movement by a manually actuated starting pawl 84, which initially pivots the latch 62 out of the recess 60, after which the end 65 of the latch abuts the inner periphery of the control ring 72, whereafter continued angular movement of the control ring is transferred through the latch 62 and pivot pin 66 to the ratchet wheel 28 to contract the spring 22 on to the driving drum 10. The drum 10 is continuously rotated in a direction tightening the spring. Declutching is controlled by a programming wheel 20 fast with the driven drum 14 and carrying a bead chain having small beads 54 and larger beads 56. When a large bead 56 engages a cam follower 52 on a lever 50, the lever is rocked against the pressure of a spring 55 and engages a pawl 44 with the ratchet wheel 28 to arrest the ratchet. The driven drum continues to rotate due to its inertia until the spring 22 is expanded out of engagement with the driving drum 10 and the latch 62 is pivoted into engagement with the recess 60 to hold the drum 14 stationary. The pawl 44 may be yieldably mounted on the lever 50 by means of pin and slot connections 49, 47 and a spring 51 so as to cushion the stopping action. Furthermore this mounting of pawl 44 allows the driven parts to be rotated by hand if desired even though this pawl may be engaged with the ratchet 28.
