Patent SE-308692-B (SE)
Inventor: KUNERTZ E
IPC: B65G47/61
Filed: 1963-02-18
Abstract: 959,943. Endless conveyers. G. M. PFAFF A.G. Feb. 18, 1963 [Feb. 19,1962], No. 6389/63. Heading B8A. An endless conveyer 1 for workpiece carriers 7 each having a hook-shaped suspension member 7a received on a conveyer member 4 by a supporting member 8 and which are deposited automatically on receiving bars 29 at predetermined delivery stations is characterized by a V-shaped supporting member 8 mounted on a spindle 6 and co-operating with stationary guide rails 30 at the delivery stations. A conventional selector device 31 with contact member 32 cooperates with switches 33 actuating a push-rod 39 of an electromagnet 38 to push a release lever 34 from its normal spring-retained (dotted) position into the path of a control rod 18 where it is retained by a spring latch 40. This causes the rod 18 to rotate against a spring 20 and tilt a control disc 9 attached to the spindle 6 through a driver 22 engaging a pin 24 on the control disc, a pin 26 sliding in a slot 28 in a wall 5 limiting the angle of tilt. Sideways movement of the conveyer member 4 is limited by a roller 47 engaging a guide 46. The hook 7a slides down the arm of the V and engages a guide rail 30 at the end of which it drops on to a receiving bar 29. When the conveyer member 4 has moved sufficiently for a roller 15 on the rod 18 to clear the release lever 34 the roller 15 under the returning action of the spring 20 on the rod 18 forces the latch 40 to release the lever 34 which is returned to its inoperative position by a spring 37. At the same time an aim 12 attached to the rod 18 acts on a rib 10 on the control disc 9 to return the support 8 to its initial position where it is held by the arm 12 and a corresponding arm 11 on the symmetrically arranged rod 17.

Inventor: RITZERFELD G
IPC: G03B27/30
Filed: 1967-06-22
Abstract: 1,141,870. Thermo-copying apparatus. G. RITZERFELD. June 21, 1967 [June 30, 1966], No. 28613/67. Heading G2A. In a thermographic copying apparatus, sheets are inserted in a guide slot 32 and pass between a rotating glass cylinder 18, within which there is an infrared heater 31, and a resilient pressure roller 17 which is urged by springs 28, 29 into contact with the cylinder which is rotated by an adjustable friction drive. As the sheets are inserted, they engage a switch 33 which stops a motor driven blower 4 until each sheet has passed between the cylinder and the roller 17. The speed of the cylinder is varied by adjusting a wheel 40 so as to move a rack 42 axially. The rack 42 is either rigid with the drive motor 2 which is mounted on a support shaft 44 as shown, or else is an axial extension of the support shaft, Fig. 4 (not shown). This moves the motor 2 axially and hence a friction cone 6, rigidly mounted on a motor driven shaft 5 assumes a new adjusted position upon a friction disc 8 which is rigid with a worm shaft 7. The shaft 7 drives a roller 11 which in turn drives the cylinder 18. The motor 2 is pivotable about the support shaft 44 and is pivoted by a torsion spring 46 to maintain the cone 6 and disc 8 in contact, independently of the position or axial movement of the rack 42.

Title: A separator
Inventor: SMISSON BERNARD
IPC: B04C5/103
Filed: 1981-08-07
Abstract: A separator, which may be used for separating putrescent solids from water in sewage, comprises a vortex chamber (2) having an inlet (for the sewage), a first (solids) outlet (6) and a second (water) outlet (8). Near the outlet (6) there is a flow modifying member (14) which induces a secondary flow in the vortex chamber (2).

Patent ZA-856957-B (ZA)
Title: Suspension ladder
Inventor: WATLING NIGEL CLIVE
IPC: E06C1/36
Filed: 1985-09-11
Abstract: A suspension ladder comprises a string of identical rigid rectangular sections (1) which are hinged together about a series of parallel axes adjacent their longer rear edges (2), and each of which has one or more apertures (11) forming a rung of the ladder. Each section (1) has a trapezoidal cross sectional profile providing the section with sloping top and bottom edge faces (4) and (5) which converge towards the front face (6) from the longitudinal rear edges (2) and form stops which limit the extent to which adjoining sections can pivot towards each other in a forward direction. The ladder therefore cannot be flexed in this direction beyond a predetermined minimum radius of curvature and will therefore form a substantially rigid cradle (21) when its lower end is lifted while its upper end is suspended. In contrast adjacent sections can pivot flat against each other in the rearward direction so that the ladder can be rolled up tightly for easy storage.
