Title: Actuator for ejector release units
Inventor: GRIFFIN DENNIS
IPC: B64D1/06
Filed: 1986-01-31
Abstract: A fluid-pressure-operated mechanical actuator of the piston-and-cylinder or ram type is actuated by pressure gas generated by burning a charge of liquid propellant in a burn chamber 18. During the working stroke of the actuator, the liquid propellant in the burn chamber is continually replenished by operation of a small piston 11 coupled to the main piston 9 which impells the remainder of the liquid propellant charge in chamber 13 toward the burn chamber 18. After the working stroke, a solenoid-valve 4,5,6 can be operated to place the actuator in communication with a supply 3 of liquid propellant to introduce a fresh charge of liquid propellant. The actuator may be used to eject stores from aircraft.

Title: Article-handling apparatus for transferring articles between conveyors
Inventor: WALKER RICHARD ALAN
IPC: B65G47/82
Filed: 1986-05-02
Abstract: An article-handing apparatus for a lehr loader or stacker transfers a series of articles (B) advancing in a first coordinate direction on a cross conveyor (14) across a dead plate (16) on to a lehr conveyor (12) in groups which form rows or ranks of articles for movement through an annealing lehr. The apparatus includes a pusher bar (22) which engages a group of articles on the cross conveyor and moves them across the dead plate between the two conveyors along a predefined path that imposes minimum changes in speed and direction to prevent damage or distortion to the articles. The path followed by each article is defined by one of a plurality of predetermined displacement programs stored in the memory of a programmable controller. The pusher bar (22) is supported on a system of carriages (30,32) that can be moved independently in the first coordinate direction and perpendicular thereto in the direction of advance of the lehr conveyor (12) and preferable also in a further perpendicular direction to raise or lower the bar. <IMAGE>

Title: Closable chain link
Inventor: ADAMA JELLE
IPC: B66C1/22
Filed: 1986-09-26
Abstract: A closable chain link having an open limb wherein is insertable a filler (9) connected to a locking member (11) rotatable relative thereto, said member lying in the space enclosed by the link when the link is closed, and having two opposed flat sides (25), the mutual distance between which is smaller than the passage (2) in the open limb. The length of the locking member 11 in a direction parallel to the flat sides (25) is larger than the passage (2) closed by the filler (9) in the closed position of the link.

Title: Tickets with rub-off surfaces to reveal information
Inventor: LINN COLIN HENDERSON
IPC: B42D15/00
Filed: 1986-11-20
Abstract: A ticket, eg a lottery ticket, comprises a substrate 12 and an opaque covering layer 10 with printed information 24 sandwiched inbetween so as to be concealed from view; an irreversibly removable mask (34), Fig. 3, of the rub-off variety lies over covering layer 10. The covering layer 10 is rendered translucent by suitable treatment either in the manufacturing stage prior to addition of mask (34) or by the user of the ticket after the mask is removed by rubbing. Such an arrangement should frustrate any attempt to determine the information prior to mask removal, and does not require any further calendering or embossing. Preferably, information is printed by laser 22 onto the undersurface of a continuous web of paper whilst the substrate 12 comprises paper or board 26 with a foil 28 preventing X-ray or xerographic processes; a varnish (32), Fig. 2, can be applied over the information before the masking to render the layer 10 transparent; in the alternative technique oil, water or other chemical is applied by a pencil, brush or by licking. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2199732-A (GB)
Title: Grid for a grill or a barbecue
Inventor: GUEST MARIA CHRISTINA
IPC: A47J37/06
Filed: 1986-12-24
Abstract: When turning the sausages there is a danger of joggling adjacent ones and, frequently, displacing one which has already been turned. With a grill, in particular there is an even more delicate moment. In order to turn sausages being grilled, they are usually withdrawn from under the grill to protect the cook's hands from the heat. The grill pan must be replaced very gently if the sausages are not to roll over on their way back. In order to alleviate these problems, there is disclosed a grid for a grill or barbecue formed with V-shaped depressions to receive a sausage or sausages in use. The grill may be of sheet or wire material. <IMAGE>

Title: Combustion-air control damper
Inventor: POLLITT M
IPC: F23L13/00
Filed: 1987-04-24
Abstract: A combustion air supply control device comprises an air inlet (11), and a damper (10) for controlling the flow of air through the air inlet. The damper comprises an iris mechanism (15) defining an aperture the cross-sectional area of which is adjustable. The aperture may be generally circular in cross-section such that the aperture perimeter moves in generally radial direction when the mechanism is adjusted. A mechanism controls the size of the aperture of the iris such that movement of the control mechanism results in a substantially proportional change in the rate at which air passes through the iris assuming stable supply conditions. The damper is suitable for a gas or oil burner, and may be motor driven in response to an air supply sensor. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2193127-A (GB)
Title: Dressing of grinding wheels
Inventor: BARNARD JOHN MALCOLM
IPC: B24B1/00
Filed: 1987-07-16
Abstract: In a method of dressing a grinding wheel 14 to form thereon a peripheral surface of a required cross-sectional profile, the grinding wheel is rotated at a predetermined speed, and rotated about a parallel axis is a dressing wheel (10) having a hard peripheral forming surface with a complementary cross-sectional profile. The peripheral surface of the grinding wheel 14 is brought into pressing engagement with the peripheral surface of the dressing wheel 10, and while maintaining the pressing engagement the speed of rotation of the dressing wheel is controlled in a manner to provide a difference in speed between the engaging peripheral surfaces, The speed of rotation may be controlled by an electric servo-motor 12 driving the dressing wheel 10, or by controlled braking of the dressing wheel, For a given composition of grinding wheel and dressing wheel the surface characteristics of the finished wheel may thus be determined by pre-setting the dressing wheel speed. <IMAGE>

Title: Cable clamp
Inventor: OWEN LEONARD JOHN
IPC: H01R13/58
Filed: 1987-12-21

Title: Cassette for video tape
Inventor: BONG YOUNG LEE
IPC: G11B23/087
Filed: 1988-03-24
Abstract: A cassette for a video tape which uses no separate fastening means such as screws is disclosed. The cassette is formed by providing hanger portions 11 on the peripheral wall 1' of upper plate member (1) of the cassette, and also providing hooks 21 at corresponding positions on the peripheral wall 2' of lower plate member (2), so that said hanger portions and the hooks can be coupled together by press-fitting. In addition, a cylindrical receiving portion 14 is provided at the front middle position of the upper plate member (1), and an anchor 24 is provided at a corresponding position of the lower plate member (2), so that they can be coupled together. Such a structure of the present invention is easy and speedy to assemble, and the manufacturing cost is lowered.

Title: Laminated glass
Inventor: CURNOW RAYMOND CHARLES
IPC: B32B17/10
Filed: 1988-09-01
Abstract: A glass laminate comprises first and second sheets (10, 12) of glass bonded together by a layer of a bonding agent (11), the thickness of the first sheet of glass being significantly greater than the thickness of the second sheet of glass such that the impact resistance of the laminate is significantly greater in one direction than the other. In a typical application, the thickness of the first sheet of glass may be of the order of three times the thickness of the second sheet of glass, with the impact resistance of the laminate in said one direction three times that in the other direction. The characteristics of the bonding agent will be so chosen as to provide the required bonding strengths in conjunction with the requisite impact cushioning effect. A preferred bonding agent is a polycarbonate resin. <IMAGE>

Filed: 1988-09-21
Abstract: A cylinder lock includes an additional interlock element 10 which prevents turning of the cylinder 12 in the lock body 16, when a key 17 is only partially inserted. Turning is permitted when the key is fully inserted by virtue of a notch or recess in the key. In alternative embodiments, turning of the cylinder is prevented by the additional interlock element blocking rotation of the partially inserted key. A notch in the key aligns with the element to allow rotation when the key is fully inserted. <IMAGE>
