IPC: A44B11/25
Filed: 1956-07-18
Abstract: 871,819. Strap fastenings. K.A.C. Ltd. Oct 18, 1957 [July 18, 1956], No. 22288/56. Class 44 A latch mechanism for connecting together in a releasable fashion two members comprises a socket 8 for attachment to one of the members to be connected and a plug element 1 for connection to the other such member, the plug element carrying at least one sliding latch bolt urged by spring means 10, 11 to a locking position and adapted automatically to interengage in the said socket to lock the plug element and socket together when the former is inserted into the latter and means 14 operable by a singlehanded rotary movement for positively withdrawing the said latch bolt or latch bolts as and when required. In the construction shown two latch bolts 2, 3 are provided these moving in opposite directions to engage openings 20 and 21 in the socket. The springs 10, 11 act between shoulders on the latch bolt and the bolts are withdrawn by a rectangular cam 12 which is located in D-shaped openings in the tails 4, 5 of the bolts. The cam is rotated by the means 14 which consists of a knob having an annular bush 15 screw threaded to the end of a spindle 13 which carries the cam 12 the bush being surrounded by a tubular casing 16 which is slidably mounted on the spindle 13 and between which and the bush is a spring 18 which normally urges the casing away from the bush so that a recess 20 engages a stop pin 19 on the plug 1. Hence before the cam can be rotated to withdraw the latch bolts the casing 16 must be moved against the pressure of the spring 18 so that the recess 20 is free of the stop pin 19. Three modifications of this construction are described, in the first the rectangular cam is replaced by a cam having slots which engages pins which are carried in longitudinal slots in the latch bolts. In the second the cam is replaced by a gear wheel which engages racks on the ends of the bolts. In the third the latch bolts are connected to a crosshead on the spindle 13 by means of links.

Title: Disk brake embodying caliper positioner
IPC: F16D55/00
Filed: 1969-05-01
Abstract: 1,220,016. Brakes. KELSEY-HAYES COMPANY. 1 May, 1969 [29 May, 1968], No. 22387/69. Heading F2E. In a sliding caliper type brake, the at-rest position of the caliper 19 is set by a spring 61 which acts to lift the reaction pad 36 off the disc when the piston 24 is de-energized, and which is stressed beyond its elastic limit so as to take a permanent set which accommodates wear in the reaction pad, but which then continues to function elastically to restore the normal clearance. The caliper is supported on the torque plate 37 by pins 45 (and 46, not visible). The braking disc is of the ventilated type having spaced discs 15, 16. The torque plate 37 is secured to a rigid part of the vehicle, and it has arms (43, not visible) and 44 which embrace the caliper and carry the pins 45 (and 46, not visible) by a threaded portion 47, 48. These pins have reduced shanks 49 which extend through holes 51, 52 in the brake-pad backing plates 32, 35 for supporting the pads 31, 34 with respect to the torque plate 37. The outer ends are grommeted at 54 in holes in the outer end of the caliper, and flat portions 55 of the pins are likewise grommeted at 60 in holes 56 in the opposite end 21 of the caliper. Caliper positioning springs 61 are located under heads 59 and washers 62 so as to bear against the outer ends of the caliper. These springs are weakened at 67 to allow the setting under excess displacement. Due to wear of the pads, the piston 24 and the far end 22 of the caliper will have to move towards each other to take up the slack, and this is done by the setting of the spring arms 64, 65 towards each other. The pads and springs are replaced by unscrewing the pins 45, 46 by their heads 45.

Title: Improvements in and relating to electrical timing arrangements
IPC: H03K17/288
Filed: 1963-06-05
Abstract: 1,056,534. Photo-electric timing circuits and pulse generators. MALLORY BATTERIES Ltd. June 5, 1963 [June 18, 1962], No.22422/63. Heading G1A. [Also in Division H3] An electrical timing arrangement comprises a triggering circuit including a normally non- conducting gas discharge diode, a time constant network including a resistor and capacitor, said capacitor being connected in parallel with said gas diode, a light sensitive detector, which receives light from said gas diode when conducting and provides an output signal, and a direct current power supply of sufficient voltage to cause the gas diode to conduct after a predetermined time interval. The arrangement may produce a train of pulses, the circuit being reset by the discharge of the capacitor either by the striking of the diode or by a relay energized by the output current from the detector. This relay may have contacts to control higher powered output circuit. The direct current power supply may be obtained by rectifying an alternating supply and may be provided with a voltage regulator. The arrangement shown is for measuring a single time interval. The timing is effected by a capacitor 9 and resistor 8 to which is applied a voltage E3 derived from a supply E1 by a rectifier 2 and regulated by gas discharge lamps 6, 7. A rising voltage on the capacitor 9 causes the diode 12 to strike and illuminate a photoresistor 16. The coil 15 is included in a bridge circuit, formed of the resistors 13, 14, 16, 17, which is balanced when the resistor 16 is illuminated so that no current can then pass through the coil. The timing interval is started by closing the contacts 18, 19, 20 thereby connecting both the line L and the point B to the power supply. The bridge being unbalanced, the relay is actuated. to close contacts 21, 23 which hold the relay on, so that the contacts 18, 19, 20 can be released. The capacitor 9 charges until the striking voltage of the diode 12 is reached and the resistor 16 illuminated so that the bridge is balanced and the relay drops out, the contacts 21, 22 discharging the capacitor 9. The relay has additional contacts 24, 25, 26. The striking voltage of the diode 12 increases if it is left inoperative for a period. To reduce this effect, a small capacitor 27, charged permanently to the voltage E3, is discharged through the diode when the timing interval is started by closing the contacts 18, 19, 20. The light output, however, is not sufficient to trigger the relay circuit. The timing period may be made adjustable by feeding the resistor 8 from an adjustable potential divider. A switch may be provided to short circuit contacts 21, 22 during a timing interval to re-set the circuit ready for re-starting.

Abstract: 449,371. Sewing-machines. JACKSON, L. MELLERSH-, 28, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, London.-(International Buttonhole Sewing Machine Co. ; 500, Harrison Avenue, Boston, U.S.A.) Aug. 9, 1935, No. 22568. [Class 112] To conceal the canvas stiffening in coats and like articles, the buttonholes are sewn in such a way that one of the plies of cloth is stretched or crowded towards the slit and bound over the canvas by the buttonhole stitches. This crowding is effected by a ploughlike throat plate 26, carried in the turret. The throat plate has a needle aperture 27, cord guide 28 and a plough-like shoulder 32 with a rounded edge 33. At the stitching point, the shoulder 32 supports the work and presses against the under ply of cloth b at the side of the buttonhole slit where the stitching is taking place. The material at the other side of the slit is less firmly supported by the lower part 31 of the throat plate. The feed movement of the stitching mechanism is in the direction of the arrow A, Fig. 5, so that the ply b is ploughed or crowded towards the slit s to cause an overhanging part d, Fig. 7. This is caught up and wrapped over the canvas c by the buttonhole stitches as shown in Fig. 8. Specification 242,788, [Class 112], is referred to.

Abstract: 1126404 Making super-conductors; extruding IMPERIAL METAL INDUSTRIES (KYNOCH) Ltd 2 May 1967 [20 May 1966] 22581/66 Headings H1A and A4D A tubular super-conductor arrangement comprises one or more elongate elements which are super-conductive below a predetermined temperature at least partially embedded in a matrix of material non-super-conducting at that temperature. Typically the super-conductor elements are of niobium-titanium, niobium-zirconium or niobium tin and the matrix of copper, aluminium, silver, lead or solder. An exemplary arrangement is made as follows: A bar of niobium-titanium alloy formed by swaging, rod rolling or forging an ingot is sealed inside an evacuated copper tube and the assembly extruded at 300-450C and then drawn to form a rod. A number of such rods are then packed and sealed in the annular space between coaxial copper tubes and the assembly extruded at 150-450C. The resulting assembly is drawn using a floating plug technique, and finally without a plug to form a tube with a corrugated inner wall as shown in Fig. 5. The corrugations facilitate cooling in operation by pumping liquid or gaseous helium along the tube. In an alternative method superconductor material is packed in the annular space instead of the embedded rods to give the arrangement of Fig. 6 (not shown). Rectangular or hexagonal cross-sections tubes are also envisaged. Where Nb 3 Sn is to be used as super-conductor the procedure is to fill niobium tubes with tin and pack these in the copper tube in the first stage of the above described process. On completion of the assembly it is heated for 10 minutes to 3 hours at 100-950C to cause the niobium and tin to react to form the compound.
