Title: Improvements in or relating to welding pliers
IPC: B23K11/00
Filed: 1938-04-19
Abstract: 504,157. Control systems for resistance welding. KELLER & KNAPPICH, GES. April 19, 1938, No. 11794. [Class 38 (iv)] [Also in Group XXII] In a hand-operated electric-butt welding pliers having a pair of handles 17, 20 pivoted together at 19, the wires 1, 2 to be welded are secured in jaws to arms 7, 8, the arm 8 being integral with the handle 17 and the arm 7 being screwed to a spindle 23 passing freely through a socket 22 on arm 8. The arms are separated by a spring 40 and are connected by toggle links 31, 32 and the spindle 23 passes through the handle 20 and carries a nut 28 between which and a bracket 26 on the handle 20 is placed the upset pressure spring 29. On pressing together the handles the spring 29 is compressed and spring contacts 50, 49 and 46, 45 in control circuits are closed, the former by engaging a nose 48 on a nut fixed to the spindle 23 and the latter by an insulating sleeve 47. The welding current is applied through flexible leads from a transformer 64, Fig. 7. The primary circuit of the transformer 64 is controlled by a pair of contactors, the coils 55, 53 of which are connected at one end to the switch contacts 46 through the secondary 52 of a control transformer. The contact 40 and contact 45 are conductively connected together via the handle 20. When the contacts 49, 50 and 45, 46 are closed, the coil 53 is energized by way of a normally closed contact 54, thus closing the contacts 56-59. The coil 55 is thus energized through contact 58 and the contacts 60, 61, 63 are closed to connect the welding current. The coil 53 at tHis stage remains energized by way of contact 59 and contacts 49, 50, when the contacts 49, 50 open by withdrawal of the nose 48, the coil 53 is de-energized and the contacts 56-59 open. The coil 55 still remains energized by way of contact 63 and remains so until the handles are cleared by a spring 40a and the contacts 45, 46 thus opened.

Abstract: 919,541. Door locks. PERRSON, B. G. April 5, 1960 [April 10, 1959], No. 12076/60. Class 44. In the operation of a car door lock comprising a screw member 2 fixed to the door post and a rotatable nut member 4 attached to the door, introduction of the screw 2 into, or withdrawal from, the nut 4 causes turning movement of the latter which co-operates with a releasable oneway catch device to lock the members to each other. The nut 4, which is rotatably supported on a door-plate 3, carries a ratchet part 6 of the one-way catch device, the pawl 7 of which is pivotably mounted on the plate 3 and is held by a spring 9 in engagement with the ratchet. Pawl release is effected from outside or inside the car by the actuation of respective push-buttons 13, 15, which causes rocking of the pawl about its fulcrum 8 away from the ratchet. As the members 2 and 4 extend at right-angles to the door in the locking position, the door is prevented from flinging open in the event of collision.

An arrangement for producing multiple beam interferences in white light with sub-division of the order spacing of the interference fringes into N equal parts, consists of two interferometers in series, the separation of their plates having the ratio 1/N, and the test surface being included as one of the plates in the thinner interferometer while the plate separation in the thicker interferometer is greater than #<SP>2</SP> o K<SP>2</SP>/4#d k N where #d k  is the   maximum measuring error for the air distance between the test plates, and k is the number of sub-divided spacings between m# o  and m# k,  where the said sub-divided spacing is the spacing between m# k  and m# k-1 . White light from source 1 is focused on to Fabry-Perot interferometer 4 of variable plate separation, light then passing via diaphragm 5 and objective 6 through the wedge interferometer 7 including the test surface. The resulting fringe system is viewed or photographed. An interference filter 9 before the interferometers produces fringes in the vicinity of the white light fringe intensity maxima at the spacing γ/2N.

Title: Improved process for the preservation of eggs
IPC: A23B5/02
Filed: 1925-05-13
Abstract: 261,194. Bellamy, A. J., and Bellamy & Co., Ltd., A. May 13, 1925. Preserving eggs.-Eggs are preserved by removing the shells, mixing the remainder or the yolks only with glycerine, and then concentrating the mixture until it has the consistency of a pasty mass. The amount of glycerine added is preferably 2¢-15 per cent, but other proportions may be employed according to the amount of water in the whole egg or yolk. Drying is preferably continued until the mixture contains not more than 40 per cent by weight of moisture. By the addition of an amount of water equal to that removed, the eggs may be reconstituted. In the method described, the eggs or the yolks alone are mixed with about 10 per cent of glycerine in a mixing machine and the mixture poured into shallow trays a. The trays are stacked above one another in a well e and have grooves engaging guides d in the well. The trays have each two raised sides b which space them apart so that dry and preferably warm air can be supplied thereto, recesses f being provided at the sides of the well e to enable the drying air to be passed successively across all the trays in the veil. The air may first be passed through a drying and warming device k. The trays after filling are slid along a table l on to the top tray and are lowered through the well e, for example by a table n actuated by a screw o, at such a rate that on leaving the moisture content of the mixture has been reduced to 25-34 per cent. The bottom tray is removed along table m by temporarilv supporting the second lowest tray a, for example by a bolt or bolts, the tables a being subsequently raised to support the trays again. Doors may be provided in the walls of the well to allow inspection of the trays and agitation of their contents. With small quantities of eggs the mixture may be exposed to dry still air in shallow trays with occasional agitation. At 60‹ F. evaporation takes 2-3 days. Drying may also be effected at a low temperature in vacuo.
