Abstract: 411,171. Glass manufacture. DICHTER, J., 4, Miinzstrasse, Berlin. Nov. 7, 1932, No. 31415. [Class 56.] Bottles having threaded or other necks are made by heating a glass tube at one or more points remote from its ends and blowing with compressed air in a double mould so that connected necks are produced which may be separated. After shaping of the tube 10 by suitable forming means, Fig. 2, it is blown in the mould 12, Fig. 3, to produce threaded portions 13 separated by a constricted portion 14 which is formed by a projecting ring or flange 15 inside the mould. Necks of two different shapes may be formed in one operation and several pairs of necks can be formed simultaneously. The mould shown in Fig. 7 may be divided longitudinally into two or more parts and has extensions 28 to ensure that the neck and body portions are coaxial. The air may be introduced into the tube at one or both ends and the necks separated by cutting or cracking. The rims may be shaped by means of a tool in the form of a mandrel with a smoothing flange, while the blowing may be effected through a hollow mandrel used for shaping the neck of a bottle which has not been parted off from the tube. The moulds and tubing are stationary or rotated at the same angular velocity when forming threaded or like necks, while for cylindrical necks either the mould or tube may rotate. The operation may be effected in sequence or at a plurality of working stations in a continuously or intermittently operating machine. Threaded necks may be ground by a carborundum disc.

Title: Improvements in carburettors
IPC: F02M1/10
Filed: 1932-11-12
Abstract: 415,068. Spray carburetters. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION, 105, West Adams Street, Chicago, U.S.A. Nov. 12, 1932, No. 32033. Convention date, Nov. 14, 1931. Addition to 402,763. [Class 7 (iii).] A choke valve, which as described in the parent Specification is held in its closed position until a vacuum built up in the intake manifold is sufficient to release the valve and allow it to be opened, is, according to the invention, held closed by a toggle mechanism which is released when the vacuum actuates a nose-like member that breaks the toggle. As shown in Fig. 2, the mechanism is housed in a casing 28 in which is a cylinder 30 that communicates through a port 34 containing a non-return valve 32 with the inlet manifold 14 to prevent burnt gases entering the cylinder if an explosion occurs in the manifold. The suction in the manifold, after the engine has started, draws down a piston 42 in the cylinder and forces a nose 50 on a lever 48 against a toggle linkage 72, 70, 68, thus releasing an unbalanced choke valve 18 which is connected to the toggle through links 66, 26, 24. The opening of the valve 18 is resisted by a bimetallic coil 62, Fig. 3, placed with a shield 58 near the exhaust manifold 60, and secured at one end to a shaft 56, the other end resting against a stop 64. As the temperature rises the coil expands and moves into the position shown in dotted lines in which position it exerts no torque on the shaft 56. An adjustable stop 74 prevents the toggle linkage from moving into actual alignment. A poppet valve 22 in the valve 18 admits a limited amount of air when the valve 18 is closed ; the usual manually operated means may be applied to the choke valve. In a modified construction Fig. 4, the shaft 56 carries a bell-crank lever one arm 96 of which contacts with an adjustable stop 98 whilst the other arm 94 is connected to a toggle link 106 connected to a link 108 fixed on a shaft 110 to which the operating lever 116 of the choke valve is attached. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 describes a modification in which the operating arm of a choke valve is connected to a toggle linkage mounted on the air inlet of a carburetter and a bimetallic coil is mounted directly on the shaft of the choke valve. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
