Patent GB-328623-A (GB)
Title: A method of, and means for producing structural forms of small dimensions of colloidal material, especially of glue or gelatine
IPC: C09H9/02
Filed: 1928-12-31
Abstract: 328,623. Marek, A. Dec. 31, 1928. Stream-cutting machines.- Small cubes of colloidal material particularly glue or gelatine are made by spreading the colloid on a conveyer belt, cutting it into strips which are alternately diverted into different vertical rows, and cutting the strips so that the cubes fall separately on to the convever belt of a drving apparatus. The material is poured on to the endless belt 35 from the underside of which a band of material is cut bv two cutters 102, which band is divided into strips by disc cutters 107. The strips are diverted by guides 112 over rollers 111, and through rollers 141 and holes in a plate 116. Reciprocating blades 117 are actuated by a cam 122 and lever mechanism. The feed rollers 141 are actuated by ratchet mechanism 146 so that the strips are stationary when cut across. The cubes are dried on endless belts 70 arranged in series in one or more drying chambers. Baffles 162 are arranged so that the drying air flows in counter-current. Slotted air inlets 172 may be provided beneath the belts. The cubes are discharged from one chamber to another by a vane wheel 170, the temperature in succeeding chambers increasing and the speed of the conveyer decreasing. The topmost conveyer moves intermittently in synchronism with the cutters 117. The belts may be looped by rollers 81, 82, Fig. 6, cubes which adhere being separated by rollers 85. Rods 93, Fig. 7, secured to the belts'may pass over racks 92, so that the belts are shaken.

Patent GB-847340-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of chocolate
IPC: A23G1/40
Filed: 1958-12-02
Abstract: Dextrose hydrate is added as the principal sweetening agent to a conched and improved chocolate paste to form a mass at a temperature not greater than 45 DEG C. but high enough to render the chocolate workable.  Dextrose hydrate does not dehydrate at this temperature so the water of crystallization remains substantially constant. Preferably the cocoa paste is conched and improved at a temperature of from 60 DEG  to 120 DEG C. after which the dextrose hydrate is added at between 35 DEG C. and 45 DEG C., preferably between 38 DEG and 42 DEG C.  Lecithin and cocoa butter may be incorporated if desired and the mass is further processed by rolling mills and then re-liquefied in the mixer with further additions if desired. Finally the mass is moulded or otherwise made into products, being maintained at a temperature of 35 DEG  to 45 DEG C. during solidification. The dextrose hydrate is preferably introduced into the mixer in dust or powder form and small quantities of other sweetening agents may be included as well as milk or cream-powder, dried fruits, roast coffee, cola-products, spices and vitamins. Examples are given.

Abstract: 1473156 Automatic control of speed REGIE NATIONALE DES USINES RENAULT and AUTOMOBILES PEUGEOT 5 Sept 1974 [20 Sept 1973] 38867/74 Heading G3R In a vehicle speed-control system, a speed control member (e.g. an accelerator) is raised if the vehicle speed exceeds a desired value, to thereby limit the speed. The desired speed is set either within the vehicle or by a roadside beacon that co-operates with a receiver on the vehicle. In the embodiment shown, the accelerator pedal is raised by a device 3, and the desired speed is the lower of either a value manually selected at 6 or an over-riding value set externally of the car e.g. upon approaching an accident by a radio receiver 8 on the vehicle co-operating with the roadside beacon 7. The actual vehicle speed from sensor 2 is a stored digital signal and may be modified according to characteristics of the vehicle or the tyres used. The device 3, which may raise the accelerator with a force proportional to the vehicle speed error, can also be energized if the engine speed is from ignition sensor 9, is between predetermined limits. If the desired vehicle speed is exceeded by a pre-set amount, audio or visual alarms 4, 5 are energized or the engine changed to a lower gear to cause engine-braking. Hysteresis in the system may cause the device 3 to raise the pedal e.g. at 100 km/h but not to be withdrawn until the speed drops to a lower value e.g. 98 km/h. Details of the control system are given in Fig. 2 (not shown). If necessary the raising of the accelerator pedal may be manually over-ridden using a foot operated switch as Fig. 4 (also not shown).

Abstract: 343,653. Airscrews. SHAW, H. S. HELE- and BEACHAM, T. E., 64, Victoria Street, London. Dec. 19, 1929, No. 38935. [Class 114.] In hydraulically controlled variable pitch screw propellers wherein a hydraulic ram movable axially with respect to the propeller shaft is employed the pitch of the blades is adjustable to two or more predetermined positions. The limits of the stroke of the ram can be adjusted to correspond to the two or more pitch positions of the blade. Coaxial with the main shaft A and within the hollow spigots a<1>, a2 is mounted a ram cylinder d which is adjustable as to its stroke axially by means of screws x<2>, x<1> and stops d<6>. Inside the cylinder is a ram c<2> which is fixedly carried by a sleeve c mounted on a main boss a<3> ; passages are provided between the two sides of the ram and central supply ducts t<1>, t<2>, t<3>, ml which are in turn coupled by pipes s<1>, s<2>, through a controlling valve v<9> with a hydraulic pressure pump p. The valve v<9> is coupled by a bell-crank lever v<3> with a control rod v<4> having notches v<6>, v<7> adapted to be held by a spring detent v<8>. According to the position of this control, the valve v<9> is positioned relative to the pipes s<3>, s<2> to supply pressure fluid to the required side of the ram c<2>. The other pipe s<1> then acts as an exhaust and the liquid from the other side of the ram flows back to the common tank w. To avoid strains in the stop position, passages become open just before the end of the stroke having a safety valve set to open at a minimum pressure sufficient to prevent blade flutter. The main sliding cylinder d has lugs which are coupled by pins to the roots of the blade for the purpose of angularly adjusting them. Specification, 295,248, [Class 114, Ships &c., Propelling &c.], is referred to.
