Patent GB-728964-A (GB)
Abstract: 728,964. Supports for photographic cameras. BURNS, G. F. Sept. 2, 1953 [June 7, 1952; Feb. 24, 1953], Nos. 14419/52 and 5080/53. Class 98 (1). A portable support for a photographic camera comprises a base member with a handle, hand grip or butt extending downwardly at or adjacent to its rear end, a handle or hand grip extending downwardly at or adjacent to its forward end and attaching means for holding a camera firmly on the support. As shown in Fig. 1, a base member 10 is made e.g. of wood and formed with a handle 10a. A U-shaped metal strip 11 is fixed to the top and bottom of the handle and is fitted with a hand grip 12 of e.g. rubber. The handle 10a and hand grip 12 have recesses 13 for the fingers. A recess 10b in handle 10a accommodates a screw 16 with a knurled head 16a, which extends through a slot 15 in strip 11 to engage a bush in a photographic camera 17, which is thus adjustably secured to the support. The lens tube 17a of the camera may be supported by a yoke 18 with a screw-threaded stem 19 adjustably mounted in a slot 21 in the support by means of a nut 20 and a wing-nut 23. The camera shutter may be operated by means operable by the'hand holding handle 10a or grip 12; e.g. a flexible release 25 may be led through a bore 24 in the handle. If the support is to be held up to the shoulder, a rubber pad 26 or a strap (not shown) extending over the shoulder of the user may be fixed below the handle 10a. A bar 28 pivoted to strip 11 acts as a stand for the support. Means may be provided to tilt the support when the stand is in use. A bar 29, Fig. 2, may be fixed to the support by means of a fitting 30 which keeps it at right-angles to the support. A number of cameras, or flashlamp equipment or other accessories, may be fixed to the bar 29 by means of a screw 31 passing through one of a number of holes 29a in the bar and engaging a bush in each camera or accessory.
Patent GB-731283-A (GB)
Abstract: 731,283. Grinding. VOTTER, F. F. X. Aug. 13, 1953 [Aug. 13, 1952], No. 20315/52. Class 60. [Also in Group XXII] A tool or attachment holder assembly for lathes comprises a supporting and locating member such as a socket or post 2 for a tool or attachment holder 1 which can be fitted to the said member in a plurality of different angular and vertical positions determined by locating means 3, and means 8 actuated by the holder for automatically clamping the holder to the supporting and locating member when the holder is placed over the latter. The post is of square or polygonal section to position the holder or it may be circular and the holder be positioned by a pilot pin. The height of the tool in each position in which the holder is placed is determined by one of a number of setscrews 3. The operative screw 3 engages a plunger 5 to depress a wedge 6, under the weight of the holder, to force the pivoted clamping member 8 against the bore of the holder. The cutting force on the tool may assist clamping and a screw, not shown, may be turned to actuate a second wedge 12 to clamp the holder rigidly. The wedge 6 may be replaced by steel balls. The post itself may be angularly adjusted by means of a ratchet device 17, 19, Fig. 9. Grinding.-A further modified holder 13, Fig. 8, carries a belt-driven grinding-wheel G.

Title: Detecting icing conditions
IPC: B64D15/20
Filed: 1978-06-15
Abstract: A detector for detecting icing conditions in an airflow has a working surface (5) which faces towards the airflow to produce a zone in which supercooled droplets of water precipitate under icing conditions. A second working surface (6) faces in the opposite direction and produces a zone subject to natural turbulence and free from precipitation of supercooled droplets. The difference in temperatures between the two zones will provide an indication of the icing conditions. A recess (7) is provided in the first working surface to decelerate the airflow in the first zone. The detector may be incorporated in an aircraft de-icing system. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2001829-A (GB)
Title: Antenna input circuit for use in radio receiver
IPC: H04B1/10
Filed: 1978-07-06
Abstract: A radio receiver antenna input circuit includes an inductor (8) connected between a point in the circuit and ground. The inductor has an inductance value such that its impedance is high in respect of the radio frequency signals which it is required to receive, but is relatively low in respect of any low frequency signals in the range 0-20,000 Hz picked up by the antenna (1). The inductor (8) thus provides a low impedance signal path to ground for these low frequency signals, thereby assisting in reducing interference particularly from high voltage a.c. transmission cables. <IMAGE>

Title: One side metal coating a metal strip
IPC: C23C2/40
Filed: 1979-04-26
Abstract: A cleaned and heated metal strip (12) passes around a support and deflection roller (8) located in a hood (3) which contains an inert atmosphere above a bath of molten metal (2). Rotation of a roller (9), whose surface area lies more than half immersed in the molten metal (2), conveys molten metal to one side only of the strip (12) at the point at which the strip is supported by the roller (8). Adjustment of the size of the slit (10) between the two rollers (8,9) can determine precisely the thickness of the coating applied to the strip (12). The process can be used for galvanealing in which molten zinc is applied to and alloyed with one side of a steel strip. A particulate substance such as graphite balls can be floated on the surface of the molten zinc to reduce its evaporation and subsequent condensation on the inside of the hood. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for sealing centrifuge tubes
IPC: B29C57/10
Filed: 1979-05-25
Abstract: A method of closing or sealing a filler passage formed in a neck or stem protruding from the small access opening in the upper end of a substantially closed centrifuge tube. The neck is formed of a readily fusible material and a heat conductive cap member is positioned over the open end portion of the neck closely confining it therein.
