Abstract: 698,478. Eddy-current brakes. ELECTROMECANIQUE DE L'AVEYRON. Oct. 9, 1951 [Oct. 13, 1950], No. 23479/51. Class 35. In an eddy-current brake of the rotary disc type, the edge of the disc is shrouded to prevent thermal stresses due to excessive peripheral cooling. In the form shown, the magnetic eddy-current disc 1 which rotates between laterally-placed poles 3, carries a radially spaced non-magnetic shroud 6, having, if desired, side flanges 6b and fan-blades 9. In the form shown, the shroud is supported on pins 8 entering holes in the rotor, but in order to further reduce thermal stresses it may be joined to the rotur periphery by V-shaped spring elements which may be bimetallic, or by V-shaped springs secured at their ends to the shroud and by looped bases to the rotor, or the shroud may carry a series of radially slidable spring-pressed pins engaging holes in the rotor periphery. In a further modification, the poles 3 may extend radially beyond the rotor so that some flux enters the disc periphery, causing a local heating effect which further reduces the tendency to excessive peripheral cooling.

Title: Improvements in or relating to coin freed apparatus
IPC: G07F9/08
Filed: 1923-09-25
Abstract: 226,608. Tonks (Birmingham), Ltd., and Sparks, W. Sept. 25, 1923. Fastenings for doors; coin action, mechanicalconnection; coin-slit closing-devices.-In a coinfreed lavatory lock the coin, inserted in a slot 10. Fig. 2, forms a connection between a flanged slide 1 operated by the outside handle and a dropper link 6 pivoted at 5 to a sliding latch 15.. the end 12 of a lever 7 bearing against the link 6 to prevent it from moving under the weight of the coin. When the latch 15 is being withdrawn, the lever 7 is turned until a spring- pressed lever 14 engages under a shoulder 13 thereon, so that a projection 9 on the lever 7 closes the coin slot 10. When the latch 15 is operated by a rotatable cam 16 on the spindle of the inside handle, the lever 14 is also moved by the cam to allow the lever 7 to return to its normal position. An additional latch 33, Fig. 1, may be provided which is out of vertical alignment with the latch 15 and is adapted to be prised back flush with the lock casing by the door frame. In this position it engages an arm 28 of a spring-actuated lever 27 which has at its free end a projection 30 to engage when the door is open a pin 29 on the latch 15 to hold this retracted. The lever 27 is raised to release the latch by shutting the door. A flange on a vertical extension 25 of the latch 33 closes the coin slot when the door is open. Registering.-A counter 22 for registering the number of coins inserted is actuated by a rod 21 connected by an arm 20 to the lever 7. A coin inserted, when the door is open, is registered since the movement of the latch 15 on shutting the door is transferred to the lever 7 through the link 6 which is prevented from turning by the coin.

Abstract: 715,051. Thermionic valves. M-O VALVE CO., Ltd. Oct. 13, 1952 [Oct. 15, 1951], No. 24023/51. Addition to 669,386. Class 39(1) A thermionic valve includes in combination an indirectly heated cathode having a substantially planar emitting surface and rigidly mounted on a block of ceramic or like refractory material, an anode having a substantially planar surface and rigidly mounted on a second block of refractory material, and at least one grid member comprising a metal plate supporting the wires of the grid electrode and sandwiched between the two blocks, the arrangement being such that the spacing between at least one of the metal plates and either or both of the two blocks is determined by means of spacing members each of which comprises at least one relatively thick portion which serves to determine the appropriate spacing and at least one relatively thin portion which is secured to and/or folded closely around the periphery of the metal plate. In the construction shown in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 the spacing member comprises three thin metal strips 1, 2 and 3, the outer strips 1 and 2 being of the same length and having secured to their ends a pair of wires 4 and 5, and the central strip 3 being shorter than the strips 1 and 2 and secured to the wire 4 only. The strips 1, 2 and 3 may be of relatively hard metal and the wires 4 and 5 of relatively soft metal or vice versa and the spacing member after formation is pressed so that the overall thicknesses are accurately fixed. The spacing members are disposed one at each end of the metal plate 6 supporting the grid wires 7 with the strips 1 and 2 folded closely around the end of the plate 6 and the strip 3 left straight to form an electrical connection. The strip 3 is welded to the plate 6 at a point 8 close to the edge of the plate 6 and spaced away from the wires 4 and 5. The spacing member may be formed with the central strip omitted or with only a single strip. In cases where the spacing members are used to determine the spacing between a metal plate and only one of the blocks, for example where the valve includes more than one grid, it is not necessary that the strip or strips should be folded around the metal plate and the spacing member may take the form of one or more strips secured to the metal plate and disposed on one side of it only, together with a single wire secured to the strip or strips.

G. ; 183, Norrebrogade, Copenhagen.) Aug. 26, 1931, No. 24045. Convention date, Sept. 1, 1930. [Class 40 (ii).] Comprises means for ensuring constant speed of the film in optical sound-recording or reproducing apparatus wherein the film passes, at the exposure point, over a roller which is either coupled to a flywheel or is engaged by the film before the latter reaches another roller coupled to the flywheel, braking means being appliedto the first roller, or to a separate roller engaged by the film before it reaches the exposure point. The sound-record film a is driven by sprockets d<2>, d<1> over rollers r, c, the exposure point g being arranged at the periphery of the roller r, while a flywheel b is coupled to the roller c. A brake-block q carried on a pivoted arm t is held, by a spring s, in engagement with a brake drum p on the shaft of the roller r. The braking action is adjusted so that it restrains periodical oscillations of the system comprising the flywheel b and the portion of the film approaching the flywheel. The brake p, q may be replaced by a brake of any other kind, e.g. a rotary air or oil brake or an eddy-current brake. The roller r may be dispensed with when the brake is connected to the roller c and the exposure point is located at the periphery thereof. Alternatively, the brake may be arranged at any other point in the path of the film lying between the sprocket d<2> and the roller c, for example, it may act on a roller placed between the sprocket d<2> and the roller r. Fig. 1 (not shown) illustrates a construction, stated to be known, wherein the film passes over a roller on the shaft of which a flywheel is mounted. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes also an arrangement, purporting to be known, wherein the flywheel is spring-coupled to the roller shaft and in which the film may be illuminated at a gate situated in front of the roller and flywheel.

Title: Process of producing a preserving means, combined with a method of preserving meat, poultry, fish and other articles of food, such as eggs, fruits, vegetables and the like
IPC: A23L3/3463
Filed: 1922-09-06
Abstract: 207,633. Scheib, G., and Koch, M. Sept. 6, 1922. Antiseptics; corpses and bodies, treatment of. -An antiseptic solution suitable for preserving articles of food, anatomical preparations, corpses, &c. is prepared by treating milk-sugar with organic acids and adding mustard-oil. Tartaric. lactic, glycollic, diglycollic, citric, or malic acids ma.y be employed, acetic acid being less suitable, especially when higher concentrations are employed. The acids decompose the milk-sugar and react with the decomposition products. The reaction is checked by cooling when required, being carried further when vegetables are to be preserved than it is for meat. White mustard oil is employed for treating food, but for other purposes black mustard oil may be substituted wholly or in part. For milk-sugar may be substituted melibiose, obtained from molasses by separating melitose, which is hydrolyzed and the melibiose recovered in the usual way. The substances to be treaten may be simply immersed in the solution, or it may be injected into the vessels of carcases, or injected into the carcases at any desired points by means of nozzles such as those described in Specification 168,319, [Class 49, Food &c.]. Fluid pressure may be at the same time applied to the outside of the carcase; any desired portion can be treated with especial thoroughness by arranging inlet and withdrawal nozzles at suitable places. Pulsating pressures may be used. Meat may be stored in closed vessels, the air in which is saturated with the vapour of the preserving liquid; or ozonized air, carbon dioxide, or a mixture of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, may be employed. The vapour in which the meat is stored may be produced from that form of the composition which includes black mustard oil. The acids may, at any desired stage of the process, be partly neutralized bv alkalies. The antiseptic may be added to pickling brine.

Patent GB-480120-A (GB)
Title: Flexible universal couplings
IPC: F16D3/68
Filed: 1936-09-09
Abstract: The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 states that elastic blocks for a universal joint are made from a material termed "felt rubber" produced as follows.  A fleece of fibres of cotton, wool or waste silk, together with a band of raw rubber, combined with a vulcanizing-agent, are wound on to a roll, so that the fibres are squeezed into the rubber.  To prevent them from tearing, the fibres are preferably fed onto the roll with a carrying band of paper, which is removed when the roll is subsequently unwound.  The fibre-rubber band is cut up into square pieces which are piled together and lightly compressed to form plates of about 5 mm. thickness.  These plates are cut to the required cross-section, numbers of them are piled up to the required thickness, and the piles are vulcanized under heat and pressure in a mould conforming to the shape finally required.  In an alternative method, the fibre-fleece is first impregnated with a solution of rubber or latex, and is cut into layers which are piled up and lightly compressed to form plates, subsequently treated as before.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
