Title: Improvements in or relating to a safety device
Inventor: INGEMARSSON ANDERS
IPC: B60R22/34
Filed: 2003-10-06
Granted: 2006-09-13
Abstract: A seat belt retractor incorporating a force limiter to permit the restricted paying out of a seat belt webbing and a control mechanism for controlling the force limiting functions of the retractor. The arrangement includes a two part spindle within a retractor. On a first part of the spindle the safety belt is wound. A second part of the spindle is configured to be locked by a retractor locking device. The two spindle parts are interconnected by a belt load limiting torsion bar. The torsion bar has two sections of different torsional stiffness. The junction between the two torsion bar sections is releasably connected to part of the spindle. When the connection is present one energy absorbing level is provided and when the connection is controlled there is another energy absorbing level. The connection is broken in response to a relative movement between the two spindle parts caused by an initial belt force in excess of a predetermined force. When the initial belt load is less than a predetermined force, the control mechanism shifts from the first to the second load level. When the initial belt load is greater than the predetermined load level, the control mechanism maintains the first load level.

Granted: 2013-11-27
Abstract: A cattle carcass processing system comprises a carcass input system (1, fig 1) a deboning system (2, fig 1), a trimming system (3, fig 1), a quality control inspection system (4, fig 1), a primal membrane removal system (5, fig 1), and a packaging system (6, fig 1). The carcass side 11 is split into a hindquarter 14 and a forequarter 15 and alternate forequarters and hindquarters are delivered onto a main processing rail 21. The deboning system comprises the overhead rail along which a plurality of carriages (22, fig 4) run. Each carriage carries a support hook 13 for a carcass quarter. An incoming quarter is weighed and the weight and other details are introduced into the system by scanning the unique bar-coded label (29, fig 4) attached to the quarter while it is weighed. This animal identification is tracked and traced throughout the remainder of the process. The beef quarters are subsequently de-boned using electromechanical de-boning machines. Meat cuts and/or bones are removed. The conveyor line minimises wasted operator movement in retrieving and removing beef quarters from each cutting and or deboning station. Workers are paced to complete their tasks in a defined time period by setting the same residence time each deboning and/or cutting station.
