Abstract: 563,735. Vices. PALLANT, W. C., BOOTH, J., and DORRAS, J. April 23, 1943, No. 6538. [Class 61 (ii)] A bench vice with screw adjustable jaw has an adjustable loading clutch interposed between the adjustment screw and the movable jaw so that the driving connection becomes ineffective at a predetermined pressure and in addition the movable jaw system has a rapid adjustment and release. In the example shown, the pressure of the adjustment screw 8 is transmitted to the movable jaw 3 through a fluidpressure cylinder 16 and piston 17, the latter in driving connection at 22, 23 with the fore part 24 of the toothed clutch, the other part 27 of which is in driving connection with the end 34 of the adjustment screw 8 working in a nut 10 fixed in the rear end of the rack adjustment housing 5. The cylinder 16 constitutes the fore part of a sleeve 10a slidable-in the bore of the housing 5 and the loading of the clutch spring 28 is adjustable by a screw 38 working within the main screw 8. The pressure of the vice is instantly released and the vice made ready for rapid adjustment by tilting the rear part of the housing 5 about its ball connection 13 with the movable jaw 3 so as to disengage the housing teeth from the teeth 7 on the base 1 against the pressure of springs 9.

Abstract: 873,715. Packaging. LAKSO CO. Inc. Feb. 26, 1959, No. 6747/59. Class 94(1). Fibrous packing material such as cotton wool C is packed into the neck of a partly filled bottle A or other container by folding a cut length of the material into a tube 38 by a reciprocating blade 88 and expressing the folded material from the tube into the bottle, folded end first, by a reciprocating plunger 84 so that the material spreads out over the contents and under the shoulders B of the bottle. The blade 88 slides in the plunger 84 which is carried by a bracket 81 from a slide bearing 66 reciprocated on guide rods 24 by a cam 80. The blade 88 is separately reciprocated on the rods 24 by a bearing 72 and a cam 78, and the sleeve 38 is reciprocated into the bottle neck by a cam 60.

Abstract: 1,198.531. Respirators. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. 13 Feb., 1968 [13 Feb., 1967], No. 7098/68. Heading A5T. [Also in Division B1] A respirator in which exhaled gases are recirculated] for inhalation after removal from them of CO 2  comprises a chamber 14 arranged for receiving exhaled gas and having a permeable non-porous wall 17 having a greater permeability to CO 2  than O 2 , a pump 23 for circulating air over the outside of the permeable wall to prevent build-up of CO 2  adjacent its outside surface and a conduit 28 for recirculating gases from the chamber 14 to the respirator gas supply conduits where it is augumented with oxygen from a container 31 or first cells operated in reverse, or air from a compressor (43 Figure 2). Desirably the gas supplied for inhalation contains about 50% oxygen by volume. The chamber 14 and a chamber through which air is circulated by the pump 23 are separated by the permeable wall 17 and provided in a rebreather unit 16. The wall is a thin film of dimethylsilicone rubber or a cellulose ester, e.g. cellulose acetate which may be impregnated with caesium bicarbonate and permit the removal of water vapour as well as CO 2 . The film is supported against rupture and albrasion by open-mesh cloths (19, 20 Fig. 3) on each side and a more rigid mesh screen (21). Nitrogen passes through the permeable wall into the respiratory system from the air circulated by the compressor 23. Undesirable, build-up of nitrogen within the system is prevented by the provision of a bleed. Gas flairing from tihe chamber 14 is returned to the gas supply conduit of the system through a breathing bag 29 and is mixed with supplementary oxygen from the container 31. Alternatively, the respiratory system may include two similar gas separators (44, 46, Fig. 2) each having an oxygen permeable membrane (48, 53). One (44) of the separators is supplied with atmospheric air from a compressor (43), and its output air, containing a higher proportion of oxygen than atmospheric air, is mixed with gases from the rebreather unit (42) and supplied by a second compressor (51) to the second gas separator (46) the output of which is connected through a demand regulator (57) to a mask (59). The rebreather unit may comprise several chambers in parallel each with a permeable wall area.

Abstract: 1,132,733. Photo-electric smoke detectors. D.C. ADAMS. Feb.18, 1966 [Feb.18, 1965], No.7123/65. Heading G1A. [Also in Division G4] A fire detecting system employs a transistor as a temperature sensitive transducer. Transistor T1, Fig. 2, is in thermal contact with a metal casing, and change in temperature varies its collector current, causing relay RL1 to operate completing the circuit to local lamp 14 and relay RL2. In a modification, Fig. 3 a smoke detector comprising photo-sensitive transistor T4 associated with a lamp 20 may be employed in addition to heat detecting transistor T1, change in current in either actuating relay RL1. Actuation of relay RL2 in any one of a number of local circuits CCI, completes the circuits to a central station relay RL3 to sound an alarm siren over contact rl3/2. A further contact rl3/1 completes a circuit to a flasher relay RL4 whose contact rl4 causes the local lamp 14 to flash. The circuit may be tested by push buttons 15 in each local unit, a switch 19 in the central station being arranged to cancel the alarm 18 and connect these push buttons in circuit. The link to the central station may be by radio, a code transmitter being provided to indicate the calling station. The system may also be employed to control fire fighting means, such as a sprinkler system.

[Also in Group XXXVIII] Apparatus for measuring the mass flow of a liquid through a pipe comprising a rotating vane flowmeter 10 (Fig. 1) producing one pulse per revolution of a magnet 13 in a solenoid 12, which, after amplification at 14 and shaping at 15, is fed through a binary divider chain 16<SP>1</SP> ... 16<SP>n</SP>, to an electromechanical counter 18, has a changeover relay 20 inserted before the counters so that a predetermined proportion of the pulses may be fed to the binary chain after the first divider 16<SP>1</SP>, whereby the counter 18 indicates the mass flow of liquid. The relay 20 is in the anode circuit of a valve 25 fed by an oscillator 23, the relative lengths of the positive and negative half-cycles on the grid of valve 25 being adjusted by a resistor R1, the pulses from flowmeter 10 being fed to 16<SP>1</SP> during the positive half-cycles, and to 16<SP>2</SP> during the negative half-cycles. Thus the total count on 18 is dependent on the manual setting of resistor R1, which is determined by the density of the liquid. A parallel resistor RT produces automatic compensation for variation of density with temperature. In another embodiment R1 is adjusted automatically in accordance with density by a floatoperated wiper arm. The mass rate of flow is indicated by a rate meter 29.
