In the manufacture of cheese in a factory, it is necessary after a solidified curd has been formed to advance the curd to a position at which chopping and salting processes can be carried out. Such curd normally is a rectangular block with a surface area of about 300 square inches and a weight of about 28 pounds. The curd which is produced in the manufacture of some types of cheese is difficult to advance on trough conveyors, but we have made the quite surprising discovery that the curd formed in the production of a wide variety of cheese can be satisfactorily advanced in the ribbed trough provided by this invention. Examples of such cheeses are Chedder, Lancashire and Roquefort.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view, and
Figure 2 is an elevation of a trough of an oscillating conveyor.
The trough of an oscillating trough conveyor which is illustrated in the drawing is of sheet metal and can be open or closed at both ends or open at one end and closed at the other. The trough has side walls 1 which slope towards the bottom 2 of the trough and which have downwardly inclined out-turned flanges 3 at the top.
The bottom 2 of the trough has two portions which slope towards the longitudinal centre of the trough i.e. the bottom has the shape of a shallow V in cross-section. The bottom 2 is also provided with internal ribs 4 running lengthwise of the trough. The number of ribs depends on the width of the trough. The ribs are of inverted V-shape. A drain cock 5 is arranged in the bottom of the rough near one end.
WHAT WE CLAIM IS:
1. An oscillating conveyor for use in the manufacture of cheese for the purpose of moving curd comprising a trough adapted to convey the curd, the bottom of the trough having the shape of a shallow V and having internal ribs of inverted V section running lengthwise of the trough.
2. An oscillating conveyor having a trough substantially as described with reference to the accompanying drawing.

[57] ABSTRACT
A life raft, preferably of the one-man inflatable type wherein an inflatable tube perimetrically bounds an occupant receiving space having a flexible floor member, includes a zippered opening in the floor to be used for entry, thus avoiding the necessity of climbing over the peripheral tube, and facilitating the use of a constant diameter tube as opposed to conventional tubes tapered at one end to facilitate boarding over the side. An airtight fabric bulkhead divides the peripheral tube longitudinally into two inflatable tube sections, whereby if either tube section were punctured, the bulkhead would move into the punctured section to substitute for the punctured wall portion and maintain the inflatable volume of the tube. The floor member is preferably attached to the central portion of the tube wall so that either side of the raft can be the up side.

MODIFICATION OF ONE MAN LIFE RAFT
The invention described herein was made by an employee of the United States Government and may be manufactured and used by or for the Government for governmental purposes without the payment of any royalties thereon or therefor.
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to life rafts, preferably of the one-man inflatable type, and particularly to such rafts having an improved boarding feature and/or an improved arrangement for maintaining inflatability and flotation after a puncture of the main wall of the inflatable portion.
BACKGROUND AND SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
Basically, the object of this invention is to improve existing life rafts, particularly of the one-man inflatable type, so as to make them more dependable, simpler and more economical construction.
The conventional one-man inflatable life raft comprises an inflatable tube configured in the form of a closed loop such that, when inflated, the tube perimetrically bounds an occupant receiving space floored by a floor member of flexible material connected with the inflatable tube. The raft is boarded from the water by climbing over the inflated tube, and the tube commonly is tapered in diameter toward one end so as to facilitate boarding at that end. This tapered arrangement contributes to complexity of construction, and hence increased cost of manufacture, as opposed to a raft utilizing a constant diameter tube, but these disadvantages have been endured because of the easier boarding feature afforded by the tapered tube. Also, the floor member of such rafts often is attached tangentially to the tube, that is, to the extreme lower points of the tube, such that there is a definite top and bottom to the raft, thus causing the raft to have a restrictive this side up feature. Finally, it is perhaps conventional to subdivide the inflatable tube into separately inflatable, longitudinally adjacent sections such that flotation of a reduced degree is maintained after puncture of less than all the sections. In a somewhat analogous arrangement, such as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3, 105, 981, separate upper and lower tubes are used. U.S. Pat. No. 3, 072, 930 discloses a different analogous arrangement of multiple tubes or tube sections.
An improved life raft in accordance with the instant invention includes a selectively openable and closable boarding opening in the floor member, whereby a downed pilot can board simply by pushing himself up through the floor opening, and, once aboard, the opening can be closed. This not only eliminates having to board by scrambling over the inflated tube, but it also eliminates the need for a special boarding area such as is provided by a tapered tube construction. By facilitating the use of a constant diameter tube, simplicity and economy of construction are inherently facilitated. In accordance with a further feature of the invention, the tube is divided longitudinally into laterally adjacent separately inflatable tube sections by a fabric bulkhead so located and dimensioned that it can move against either outer wall of the tube to substitute for that wall after a puncture, thus maintaining the inflatable volume of the tube. In the preferred embodiment, the bulkhead divides the tube into two equal tube sections as viewed in lateral cross-section, and the extendable width of the bulkhead between its edge conne3ctions thus preferably is equal to one-half the tube circumference. In accordance with a farther feature, although not an essential one, of the improved life raft, the floor member is attached at the mid-point or largest diameter of the tube rather than across the bottom, whereby to facilitate use with either side up.
Other and further advantages and features of the improved raft will be apparent from the ensuing description of a preferred embodiment taken in conjunction with the annexed drawings.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
FIG. 1 is a plan view, generally schematic, of a life raft in accordance with the preferred embodiment.
FIG. 2 is a sectional elevation view taken generally along the longitudinal axis of the raft shown in FIG. 1, and illustrating exemplary normal and post-puncture positions of the fabric bulkhead.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
Referring to the drawings, the raft in its preferred form is fabricated from conventional waterproof fabric, such as rubberized nylon, and comprises an inflatable loop-form tube 1 bounding an occupant receiving space. A flexible floor member 2 is connected to the tube preferably at its cross-sectional mid-point or point of largest diameter, and spans the occupant receiving space. A zippered access opening 3 (the zipper being operable from either side) is provided in floor member 2, extending in a beam-wise direction across substantially the entire floor, but optionally extendable longitudinal for approximately one-half the floor length. The tube preferably is of constant diameter. An air-tight fabric bulkhead 4 divides the tube 1 longitudinally into separately inflatable tube sections 6 and 7, and in the illustrated version the width (considered vertically) of the fabric bulkhead is equal to one-half the circumference of the tube. Thus, when one side or the other of the tube is punctured, the bulkhead will simply blow out or in from its normal position (shown in solid lines in FIG. 2) to bear against and replace the punctured tube wall, and maintain the inflatable volume of the tube, as indicated in broken lines in FIG. 2.
To facilitate separate inflation of tube sections 6 and 7, separate inflation tubes extend thereto from a simple selector valve 5 in the main inflation tube.
Various modifications of the illustrated embodiment may be made within the spirit and scope of the invention, the characteristic features of which are as set forth in the appended claims.
What is claimed is:
1. An inflatable life raft comprising an inflatable tube having a cross section defining at least an inner are configured in the form of a closed loop such that when inflated the tube perimetrically bounds an occupant receiving space, a floor member of flexible material connected with said inflatable tube continuously along a line corresponding substantially to the mid-point of the inner are of the tube when inflated and forming a floor for said occupant receiving space, said occupant receiving space being defined on either side of said floor member and means forming a selectively openable and closable access operable from either side of said floor members in said floor member of a size sufficiently large to readily pass a human body whereby to permit boarding said raft through said access opening in said floor member rather than over the inflated tube.
2. An inflatable life raft as claimed in claim 1 wherein said last mentioned means comprises an access opening in said floor member, and manually operable fastening means for opening and closing said access opening.
3. An inflatable life raft as claimed in claim 1 wherein said last mentioned means comprises a zippered opening in said floor member.
4. An inflatable life raft as claimed in claim 4 wherein said inflatable tube, in cross section, is of substantially constant diameter at all points along said closed loop.
5. An inflatable life raft as claimed in claim 4 wherein said floor member, at each point of connection is connected to said inflatable tube substantially at the mid-point of the inner are of the tube wall when inflated.
6. An inflatable life raft as claimed in claim 5 further comprising an air-tight bulkhead of flexible material inside said inflatable tube, extending along the length thereof, in a closed loop configuration and connected at its longitudinal edges to the inner wall of said tube so as to divide the tube into two inflatable tube sections, each of which is configured in the form of a closed loop, whereby a loss of air-tight integrity in one section does not affect the air tightness of the other section.
7. An inflatable life raft as claimed in claim 6 wherein the longitudinal edges of said bulkhead are connected to the inner walls of said tube along lines spaced circumferentially from each other by substantially one-half the circumference of the tube at any particular area of connection so as to divide the tube equally circumferentially, and wherein the width of said bulkhead between its longitudinal edges at any point along said closed loop is substantially equal to one-half the tube circumference at that point.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION
Bollard with a Detachable Post
I, Jacques Genot, of Villa Bagatelle, Rue Louis Pardonnet, Montbeliard, Doubs, France, of French Nationality, do hereby declare the invention, for which I pray that patent may be granted to me, and the method by which it is to be performed, to particularly described in and by the following statement:
Mooring bollards for ships are generally constituted by a metal base member deeply secured in the quay with an upper projecting post intended to receive mooring ropes.
Bollards must be renewed from time to time and such replacement is long and onerous work and requires immobilization of the quay because of the necessary digging out, demolition of the reinforced concrete and casting of cement to hold the base of the new bollard.
The object of the present invention is to provide an improved construction of bollard having a removable and replaceable post, whereby once the base has been grouted and anchored in the quay it need not thereafter be disturbed when the post is renewed.
According to the present invention, a bollard comprises a base of cast steel for grouting into a cavity in a quay, said base having a series of intercommunicating holes to facilitate insertion of grouting material, a circular recess in the upper part of the base, a post having a shoulder at its lower end adapted to seat into said recess, corresponding holes in the shoulder and in the base, and bolts engaged through said holes for bolting the post to the base.
The base advantageously has a central aperture in its upper part leading leading to the intercommunicating holes, thereby to facilitate insertion of grouting material into and about the base after the latter has been placed in position in the quay.
To prevent accumulation of water inside the base, a lead lining washer may be inserted in the recess of the base and be apertured to form a close fit about the stems of the bolts.
For convenience of holding the bolts, the base may have a circular radial recess to receive and hold the head of the bolts positioned with their stems upwardly.
The accompanying drawing illustrates an example of construction of bollard in accordance with the invention.
In this drawing:
Fig. 1 shows the base of the bollard in longitudinal section.
Fig. 2 represents the post in central vertical section.
The base 1, Fig. 1, is preferably made of cast steel for securing in the concrete of the quay.
A series of intercommunicating holes 2, 3, 4, 5 permits filling with cast binding material in the opening 6 during positioning of the base in the quay.
The upper part 7 coming on a level with the quay comprises a circular throat 8 having holding bolts 9 the heads of which are solidly anchored in the metallic mass and the stem 10 of which passes upwardly through a lining 12 of lead. The tightening nut 13 is disposed in the circular recess 14 intended to receive the base of the post.
The post (Fig. 2) is formed by a hollow column 15, the base 16 of which is of a diameter corresponding to the recess 14. The base 16 is provided with a series of holes 18, 19 the diameter of which corresponds to that of the stems of the bolts 10.
Recesses 20, 21 are provided to receive the tightening nuts 13.
The advantages of this bollard will now be apparent.
Once the base has been placed in position, it need not be disturbed and no further masonry work and excavation is required.
The ties 23, 24 completely buried in the ground can reinforce the anchorage of the mass of binding material which fills the metal base. The base is accordingly very strongly anchored in the quay.
The post, Fig. 2, is advantageously made of cast steel.
The post is coupled to the base by the series of bolts 10 which can be made of extremely strong material.
The later replacement of the post is facilitated by means of the sealing lining 12 which prevents oxidation. The nuts 13 are enclosed in the recesses 20, 21 and the bolts do not form any projection, which avoids deterioration of the mooring ropes.
Cranes and other machines can pass very close to the post without damaging the coupling means.
The recesses 20, 21 are capped by cups stamped out of sheet metal and filled with grease in such a manner as to provide a smooth surface. The bolts are thus protected and the nuts can be rapidly unscrewed.
What I claim is:
1. A bollard comprising a base of cast steel for grouting into a cavity in a quay, said base having a series of intercommunicating holes to facilitate insertion of grouting material, a circular recess in the upper part of the base, a post having a shoulder at its lower end adapted to seat into said recess, corresponding holes in the shoulder and in the base, and bolts engaged through said holes for bolting the post to the base.
2. A bollard, as claimed in claim 1, wherein the base has a central aperture in its upper part leading to the intercommunicating holes, thereby to facilitate insertion of grouting material into and about the base after the latter has been placed in position in the quay.
3. A bollard, as claimed in either of the preceding claims, wherein a lead lining washer is inserted in the recess of the base and is apertured to form a close fit about the stems of the bolts.
4. A bollard, as claimed in any one of the preceding claims, wherein the base has a circular radial recess to receive and hold the head of the bolts positioned with their stems upwardly.
5. A bollard constructed in the manner particularly described herein with reference to the accompanying drawing.

Improvements relating to Oscillating Conveyors
We, Cranmer Engineering Limited, a British Company, of Phoenix Works, Lewes, Sussex, do hereby declare the invention, for which we pray that a patent may be granted to us, and the method by which it is to be performed, to be particularly described in and by the following statement:
This invention relates to oscillating conveyors for use in the manufacture of cheese for the purpose of moving curd.
According to the present invention, such a conveyor comprises a trough adapted to convey the curd, the bottom of the trough having the shape of a shallow V and having internal ribs of inverted V section running lengthwise of the trough.
In the manufacture of cheese in a factory, it is necessary after a solidified curd has been formed to advance the curd to a position at which chopping and salting processes can be carried out. Such curd normally is a rectangular block with a surface area of about 300 square inches and a weight of about 28 pounds. The curd which is produced in the manufacture of some types of cheese is difficult to advance on trough conveyors, but we have made the quite surprising discovery that the curd formed in the production of a wide variety of cheese can be satisfactorily advanced in the ribbed trough provided by this invention. Examples of such cheeses are Chedder, Lancashire and Roquefort.
A preferred embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 is a transverse sectional view, and
Figure 2 is an elevation of a trough of an oscillating conveyor.
The trough of an oscillating trough conveyor which is illustrated in the drawing is of sheet metal and can be open or closed at both ends or open at one end and closed at the other. The trough has side walls 1 which slope towards the bottom 2 of the trough and which have downwardly inclined out-turned flanges 3 at the top.
The bottom 2 of the trough has two portions which slope towards the longitudinal centre of the trough i.e. the bottom has the shape of a shallow V in cross-section. The bottom 2 is also provided with internal ribs 4 running lengthwise of the trough. The number of ribs depends on the width of the trough. The ribs are of inverted V-shape. A drain cock 5 is arranged in the bottom of the rough near one end.
