Title: Container assembly for storign several components in iso lation from one another and method of using same
IPC: B65D81/32
Filed: 1974-12-24
Abstract: 1469009 Portable containers; packages; caps with filters L'OREAL 24 Dec 1974 [27 Dec 1973 3 Dee 1974] 55835/74 Headings B8D B8C and B8T An assembly for separately storing two or more components and for mixing the components in situ prior to dispensing comprises a closed container 1 of flexible deformable material, e.g. polyethylene, and a sealed glass tube 9 within the container having a scored or nicked-in central zone 10 whereby the tube can be broken at the central zone on flexing of the container to enable the contents of the tube to mix with those of the container. The container 1 is in the form of a tube closed at one end by a weld seam 4 and at the other end by a snap-on, crimped or threaded closure 3 provided with tear-off tip 7 to form a dispensing opening. A nylon fabric filter 5 traps particles about 50Á size whilst internal ribs 11 prevent the glass tube from blocking the neck 2. The glass tube is broken by bending the container 1, rigid central or end internal sleeves, Figs. 5 and 6 (not shown), being provided to facilitate bending and fracturing of the tube. Alternatively, a separate sleeve 15, Figs. 4 and 7 (not shown), having a centrally slotted partition 17, may be slid on to the container. In another embodiment, Fig. 8, the container is in the form of a polyethylene bottle of oval cross-section and having pinched moulded axially-spaced internal projections 23 against which the glass tube may be pressed to fracture the same on squeezing an indented opposite bottle wall portion 25. The neck of the bottle is closed by a screw cap 22 after the glass tube 26 and bottle contents have been inserted through the neck. The cap 22, Fig. 10 (not shown), has a nip-open spout 22a and an internally-fitted collar 29, which supports a nylon fabric filter at one end and has cross-shaped ribs 29a at the other to prevent the glass tube from blocking the bottle neck. In a modification, Fig. 11 (not shown), the bottle contains two glass tubes 39 and 40, one of which, because it is of larger diameter than the bottle neck, is inserted into the bottle through an opening at the bottle bottom, which is subsequently closed by welding together the opening edges to form a seam 36a. The other small tube 40 and the bottle contents are then inserted through the neck and the cap applied. The tubes 39 and 40 are of different thicknesses so that they may be broken sequentially.

Title: Process and apparatus for moulding an embossed pattern on the  peripheral band of a toroidal article in particular on tyre  treads
IPC: B29B11/00
Filed: 1972-12-07
Abstract: 1394879 Moulding tyres INDUSTRIE PIRELLI SpA 7 Dec 1972 [17 Dec 1971 20 Oct 1972] 56537/72 Heading B5A In a method of moulding an embossed pattern on the peripheral band of a toroidal article, e.g. on the tread of a tyre, in which the article is pressurized internally by a vulcanizing fluid whilst being vulcanized in a mould, the mould comprises opposed article sidewall moulding sections and a number of radially movable segments which press the peripheral band of the article ; with the mould in the fully closed position one or more of the mould parts are elastically deformed to apply force to the segments thereby counteracting the pressure of the vulcanizing fluid tending to move the segments radially outwardly. The tyre mould of Fig. 1 includes sidewall mould sections 22, 23, radially movable tread segments 20 with inclined surfaces 4 engaged by surfaces of an annular section 3 secured to a frame 5 detachably attached to a plate 10. The section 23 is attached to a cover 12 which, in the mould closed position shown, is locked to an annular housing 8 by a rotatable ring 13 with lugs 14 engaging below lugs 15. In the mould open position, Fig. 2, a tyre and a vulcanizing chamber 51 on a supporting device 49 is lowered into the mould which has its section 22 and segments 20 raised above the frame 5 by rods 26. The cover and section 23 are lowered to contact the tyre and a rod 36 is raised whereupon an annular groove 40 at its upper end is locked to the cover by half-rings 41. The rod 36 is lowered to force the mould assembly downwardly thereby causing the segments to be urged radially inwardly by the section 3. The circumferentially spaced end faces of the adjacent segments are brought into contact and the section 3 is elastically deformed radially outwardly by the time the mould plate 25 contacts the frame 5. Hence a pressure is applied between the contacting end faces of adjacent segments so that the pressure of vulcanizing fluid supplied to the tyre interior does not separate the faces to produce flash. Deformation of the section 3 is adjusted by washers 7a. After disconnecting the rod 36 from the cover the mould may be released from the plate 10 and placed on a further support where it is supplied with vulcanizing fluid at high temperature and pressure via passages 17, 32 and 53. In a modification, instead of supplying vulcanizing fluid to the section 3 and to chambers 31 the mould assembly is located within a housing supplied with such fluid.

Abstract: 1,145,750. Lubricating. HOUDAILLE INDUSTRIES Inc. 20 Dec., 1966, No. 57004/66. Heading F2A. A lubrication system comprises a cyclic distributer supplying a plurality of lubrication points and having an element moving backwards and forwards, means resetting a timing device after a back and forth movement, so that the timing device only finishes timing and operates an indicator when the delivery rates to the points are too low. In Fig. 1 a primary cyclic distributer 21 supplies secondary cyclic distributers 22-25. A contact arm of a switch 27 is biased to close leads 41, 42 (Fig. 2), and is transferred to close leads 42, 43 when plunger extension 26 is moved in one direction. Thus condenser 46 periodically discharges through relay 47 which opens a switch 54 and resets timer 48. If the rate of movement of extension 26, and thus the rate of supply to the application points, drops below a given value, timer 48 finishes timing and opens switches 51, 53 and closes switch 52 to light a warning light and to shut off pump 11. Breakage of lines supplying distributers 21, 22 are detected.

Title: Method of and apparatus for measuring the plane of polarisation of polarized light

Abstract: 1276798 Measuring polarisation photoelectrically; measuring current BROWN BOVERI & CO Ltd 21 Dec 1970 [23 Dec 1969] 60653/70 Headings G1A and G1U The change # in the angle of polarisation undergone by a plane-polarized light beam 1 during passage through a magneto-optical element 3 is measured by splitting at 5 the emerging beam, imposing at 8, 9 a relative shift of substantially  #/4 on the polarisation planes of the two resulting component beams, and combining respective photo-cell outputs derived from the component beams to give a combined signal representative of the initial polarisation change. In this way the strength of a magnetic field, e.g. produced by a current-carrying coil, at a high voltage may be measured by placing the element 3 in the field. In an ideal situation, the difference of #/4 between the polarisation planes of the polarisation filters 8, 9 causes the outputs of the photo-cells to be in phase quadrature. By combining these two outputs Fig.2 (not shown) with respective signals of known frequency and in phase quadrature (17, 18) derived from a single oscillator (14), two resultant outputs are derived. These two outputs are added (19) to give a signal having a phase indicative of the phase change and hence the rotation of polarisation plane induced by the magneto-optical element. If the two photo-cell outputs are not in phase quadrature, indicating that there are imperfections in the element 3, this error is compensated for by rotating at least one of the polarisers 8, 9 until the outputs are in phase quadrature. The photocell outputs are displayed on a CRO to indicate their phase displacement.
