Title: Apparatus for making thermoplastic bags
Inventor: DE BIN RENE FRANCOIS
IPC: B31B50/96
Filed: 1984-08-13
Abstract: The machine produces web segments WS having locating holes 54. Each segment is transferred by a rotary device 44 on to one of a plurality of platforms which is provided with upwardly projecting pins 56 and is sequentially located at a stacking station 52. Each platform, when loaded, is indexed away from the stacking station to a perforating station 62 and then to a cutting or cutting and blocking station 64 to thereby produce two bag stacks, each of which are retained on the associated platform by the pins 56. By perforating the segments after stacking, the prior art problem of premature separation along the lines of perforation before stacking does not arise. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2153493-A (GB)
Title: Fusible plug for fire safe valve
Inventor: BESON JOHN
IPC: F16K17/38
Filed: 1981-09-14
Abstract: A valve has a passageway (114) through the valve housing extending from the valve chamber to the valve flow way with a heat intensifier member (204) which is partially disposed in the passageway and has a bore (210,212) registering with the passageway. A fusible spacer element (218) is disposed in the bore of a portion of the heat intensifier member projecting externally of the valve housing. The fusible spacer element (218) supports a movable plug (216) equipped with seals (232,234) disposed in the bore for sealing against fluid flow through the bore and thus the passageway under normal operating temperatures. The fusible spacer element melts under high temperatures and thus permits the movable plug to slide within the bore to open the bore and permit fluid flow through the passageway. Additionally, the seals of the movable plug will disintegrate and permit fluid communication even while direct access to the passageway is still blocked by the movable plug. These features permit the displacement of internal valve pressure to prevent damage to the valve. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2168162-A (GB)
Title: Curve tracer for testing semiconductors
Inventor: SAKAI RYOICHI
IPC: G01R31/26
Filed: 1985-09-13
Abstract: A voltage divider 36 and a current detecting resistor 32 are connected between both terminals of a device under test (DUT), 26, and three buffer amplifiers 66 68 70 are connected to both the terminals of the DUT and an output terminal of the voltage divider. A voltage from a floating power supply is applied between one terminal 58 of the DUT and a common junction of the current detecting resistor and the voltage divider. Since a current flowing through the voltage divider does not flow through the current detecting resistor, a voltage across the current detecting resistor is proportional to a current flowing through the DUT. An operational circuit 76 receives output signals from the three buffer amplifiers to obtain a voltage proportional to a voltage across the DUT. A characteristic of the DUT is measured in accordance with the voltage across the current detecting resistor and the voltage from the operational circuit. <IMAGE>

Title: Device for supplying a working line with a regular flow of packets
Inventor: MOJZIS KAREL
IPC: B65G47/10
Filed: 1985-09-20
Abstract: The device comprises a main stack (2) for ordinary supply and an auxiliary stack (3) for additional supply of packets (17), which are taken from both stacks by means of a common carrier (4,5). Each stack has at its lower part a holder (6,6a) for holding or releasing the packets which are situated therein in a column above the working line. The holders are controlled by control means actuated by sensors (13) associated with the main stack. Continually rotatable supports (16) are situated under the auxiliary stack in the working line and their movement is synchronized with that of the carrier (5). The supports are adapted for lifting the packets in auxiliary stack (3) so that they are situated with a clearance over the working line. Packets (17) are taken from main stack (2) until sensors (13) detect a low supply, whereupon packets are taken from stack (3), the main stack (2) being meanwhile replenished with no need to stop the conveyor (4,5). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2183434-A (GB)
Title: Reversible point mounting
Inventor: DOWDESWELL CHARLES VERNON ROGE
IPC: A01B15/06
Filed: 1986-11-21
Abstract: In a reversible plough point mounting the plough point (10) has a locating engagement with a point holder (20) of a plough or other cultivator when the point (10) is secured to the holder (20). Such location is positively effected by a projection and recess (24, 28) engagement between cooperating faces (21, 22) of the point (10) and holder (20) and in the example shown an elongate rib (24) on the under side (21) of the point (10) engages a groove (28) in the face (22) of the holder (20) when they are secured together by a bolt (18) passing through a central through hole (16) in the point (10) and through the holder (20). Thus the point (10) can be firmly held against any movement on the holder (20) and when it is desired to reverse the point (10) the bolt (16) is simply slackened sufficiently to enably the point (10) to be disengaged from the holder (20) and then turned through 180 DEG  for locating re-engagement and tightening down by the bolt (18). Point replacement can be effected by removal of the bolt (18). A boss (26) is also shown about the hole (16) for engaging a recess (30) in the holder (20) to resist shear loading on the bolt (18). <IMAGE>
