Abstract: A novel structure of pressure container is disclosed, wherein a safety valve is provided within an air injection valve of said pressure container, whereby even when the ambient atmosphere of said accumulator has been heated up to a high temperature because of a fire and the like, bursting of said pressure container may be prevented. A valve seat is formed inside of a valve casing and a fusible valve member is brought in contact with said valve seat, so that when the ambient temperature of said pressure container has been raised said fusible valve member may fuse to permit the gas pressure in the pressure container to be discharged to the exterior of the container.

Abstract: In an accumulator consisting of a high pressure cylindrical oil vessel and a gas bladder of same figure concentrically housed therein, at the bottom of said gas bladder is provided a cushion cup with its opening upside, when the gas bladder expands in a longitudinal direction said cushion cup comes to directly contacts a poppet valve provided at the port of said oil vessel so that the bladder is not ruptured and when the gas bladder contracts in a longitudinal direction, said gas bladder can get away easily from the poppet valve.

Abstract: A counterbalance valve assembly for controlling the lowering of an actuator driven load including a housing with a passage connected to deliver fluid to or from one side of the actuator. A main pilot-operated lock check valve is provided in this passage to selectively block flow from the actuator when it is desired that the load be held and also to move to an open position permitting return flow from the actuator with the open valve defining an orifice. The speed of the load is controlled by maintaining a constant pressure drop across this orifice with a compensator valve upstream of the main check valve, which serves the purpose of throttling flow from the actuator to the check valve.

Abstract: A method of forming a thermometer structure, such as a low cost clinical thermometer, wherein the thermometer enclosure structure is formed of plastic as by molding. The capillary element of the thermometer is molded about a taut wire and is removed from the molding cavity by being urged along the wire to an exterior position. The thusly removed element is utilized as a pressure-applying means on the wire to hold the wire taught for subsequent molding of a subsequent element in the mold cavity. The subsequent element is then utilized to remove the previous element from the end of the wire and replace it as the means for holding the wire taut for molding a second subsequent element about the wire. A scale is located on the capillary element by accurately determining the top of the liquid column at a preselected temperature and coordinating the placement of the scale on the element relative to said determined level.

Abstract: An unloading apparatus for a briquette press, or the like, including a horizontally movable carriage with a plurality of vacuum cups on one end thereof for seizing articles from the press. The carriage is provided with rollers that roll on stationary frame tracks to permit reciprocation of the carriage with cranks being provided between the rollers and the carriage frame so that the carriage may be lifted and lowered at the article seizing station. A drive system is provided that reciprocates the unloading carriage by chains and sprockets, and through the provision of cams for operating the cranks, the entire carriage is pivoted downwardly or upwardly while maintaining it horizontal during article seizing. A control is provided having both automatic and manual modes effecting the proper interlocking between operation of the unloading apparatus and the associated press.

Abstract: A high capacity molding apparatus operable without substantial pause for molding a series of articles such as food material patties having a movable mold, a continuously operable drive for moving the mold between a position in which a mold opening is in communication with a material supply means and a discharge position and return, a pressure device for forcing material from the supply at the filling position at the mold opening, a continuously movable drive operable through successive pressure cycles for operating the pressure device in which the mold moving structure is operated out of time phase with the pressure operating structure for initiating the mold movement prior to the completion of a corresponding pressure cycle.

The drive motor operates a shaft bearing two eccentrics with the eccentrics being located 180.degree. apart about the shaft and each eccentric is drivingly connected to one end of a respective leg. As a result, each leg is driven through a generally elliptical path with the movement of each being 180.degree. out of phase with the movement of the other.

Abstract: Apparatus for molding articles such as patties from plastic food material that tends to shrink during processing cooking and the like, for example ground beef, in which the material is forced under pressure in a stream from a supply into a mold cavity through a passage having opposite side walls at a specific relationship to the stream and to each other and a specific width at the cavity so as to cause mixing, tumbling and kneading of the material in its flow through the passage with the result that the shaped portion when cooked or similarly processed essentially maintains its shape. Thus, if the shaped portion is, for example, a circular patty such as a hamburger patty it substantially maintains its circular shape throughout the processing.
