Title: Improvements in or relating to spool valves for controlling fluid flow
IPC: F16K11/07
Filed: 1963-11-04
Abstract: 1,016,727. Valves. A. S. BEECH. Oct. 20, 1964 [Nov. 4, 1963; Aug. 31, 1964], Nos. 43474/63 and 35582/64. Heading F2V. In a spool valve of the kind in which the spool works in a ported sleeve mounted in the valve body, the ports in the sleeve are obtained by providing internal circumferential grooves 14-16 (Fig. 4, not shown), and a flat face 19 which intersects the grooves thereby forming ports 21-23. The flat face serves as a joint face by which the sleeve may be mounted on a flat, similarly ported, joint face provided on the base 25 of a valve body, a gasket 30 being located between the two faces and the sleeve being located by the base and co-operating upper body part 11 in such a way that no direct pressure is exerted on the gasket. The valve of Fig. 2 may control the operation of a double-action power cylinder, the spool 13 being actuated through tappets 41, 43 by solenoids in casings 34 mounted at each end of the body. Tappet 43 has grooves 52, 53 which engage detent balls 50 to define the two positions of the spool. The spool may have a longitudinal bore 63 and the tappets have grooves in their end faces to prevent their making a tight joint on the end of the spool. Thus, when the spool is moved air can pass freely between chambers 66, 67 to prevent sluggishness. In modifications of the solenoid actuation, one solenoid may be replaced by a spring or two solenoids may be provided together with a spring at each end to bias the spool to a central position closing the inlet 16. The embodiment of Fig. 9 (not shown), shows one of a series of valves each of which is actuated by a rocker 87 from a common camshaft, the sleeves 12 being mounted on a machine body 75. The sealing gasket 30 employed in the embodiments of the invention comprises a steel sheet having elongated openings into which proud, initially circular, joint rings 31 of rubber or nylon or the like are provided.

Abstract: 1,101,232. Articulated belts. G. O. JONES. 20 July, 1964 [20 June, 1963], No. 45284/67. Divided out of 1,101,231. Heading A3V. An articulated belt of even or varied width for use in ascertaining the curvature of a person's waist region for the fitting of a waistband or belt according to Specification 1,101,231 comprises rigid plates m connected by members s pivoted on eased rivets o and wing screws n and by a thong or thongs I passing through tubular portions p<SP>1</SP>, p. The belt may be in two halves with a centre back hinge k. In one form, the articulated belting ends substantially at the point where front crease pleats of men's trousers terminate at the waist and a non-articulated belt portion with buckle fastening is threaded through a bracket (Fig. 3, not shown) secured to the plate m at each end of the articulated belting. In use, the belt is fastened about the waist, at comfortable tension and with the screws n eased, either by tying the ends of the thong(s) I or by fastening the buckle if any. The belt is guided into a path of less inward pressure by curving whichever edge is tighter at any point convexly or less concavely, the looser edge taking up the opposite curvature and the thong(s) l moving through the tubes p, p<SP>1</SP> to accommodate adjustments. Difference in pressure between the edges is gauged by inserting a finger and thumb at the ends of each plate m in turn. The wing screws n are tightened and the belt removed. The curvature of the two halves may be compared and aligned by folding them about the hinge k and adjusting the relevant wing screws. The belt is then used as a template for cutting out a waistband or belt. To obtain a template for an upper or lower waist region articulated belting comprising plates q, Fig. 1D, is used, similar to that already described but having an edge groove r which is held in engagement with the edge of the belt of Fig. 2 while worn. The pressure at the free edge of the secondary belt is then equated with that at the opposite edge of the already fitted main belt.

Lengths of paper cut from a continuous web are directed to a reject pile and a fault signal is received from one of a number of optical and mechanical detectors scanning the continuous web: the fault signals being first stored on a magnetic belt running with the paper and subsequently transferred prior to the cutter to a shift register having storage locations corresponding to the number of uncut sheets 18-21 before the separator. The web is scanned optically, both back and front, as the web runs over dark rubber rollers 6 and 10, by means of two rows of detectors 11, 12 and 7, 8 placed either side of a fluorescent tube 9, 13 arranged across the width of the web, and is scanned mechanically by wipers at points 4 and 5. The signals from the scanning points are directed through "OR" gates to separate record heads 31-36. The total fault signal for each potential length is read off from the tape 28 and passed to the first storage location 73 of a shift register which is advanced in synchronism with the cutter by photo-cell 77. The fault signal from the last storage location is allowed to pass through AND gate 82 to a separator memory store 83 upon the arrival of the last sheet 21 at photo-cell 77 which supplies a command pulse to this AND gate. The content of the memory store 83 determines the stack to which the sheet is directed, the store being reset as the directed sheet passes the separator photo-cell 87. To stop unnecessary movement of the separator the penultimate store 75 by means of AND gate 100 can hold the separator memory store in a fault condition if it also stores a fault signal for the next sheet.
