Patent GB-103186-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in Explosive Bombs.
Inventor: COOPER THOMAS
IPC: F42C9/02
Filed: 1916-01-27
Abstract: 103,186. Cooper, T. Jan. 27, 1916. Projectile fuses.-Relates to fuses of bombs intended to be dropped from aircraft upon aircraft. According to this invention, the firing-mechanism comprises an operative part which, whilst the bomb is dropping, is moved by means of a fan or the like between the detonator and an actuating-shaft permanently in alinement therewith, Means may also be provided for exploding the bomb before it reaches the ground if it has missed its objective. In the construction shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the striker comprises a pin k mounted in a hole in a disk l, which is pivoted at m and is normally in such a position that the pin k is out of line with a hole j, directly above which the detonator (not shown) is fixed. The disk l is geared to a spindle t, on which vanes y are mounted. The vanes may be secured, before the bomb is used, to a casing r by wire. A removable cover (not shown) is also provided. When the bomb is dropped, the rotation of the spindle t by the wind-vanes turns the disk l, so that the striker k is brought into alinement with the detonator, in which position it is held by a stop. On impact, the spindle t is moved longitudinally and thrusts the striker k against the detonating- cap. A fuse comprising the above-described mechanism only is described in the Specification. but the arrangement here shown comprises, in addition, a spring 2, which, acting through sleeves 1, s, tends to throw the spindle t upwardly and thereby fire the detonator. This action is normally prevented by a detent bar 3 pivoted on a collar 6, which works on a screw 7, Fig. 6. The screw is geared to a pinion u on the spindle t, so that, whilst the bomb is dropping, after the disk l has been brought to rest with the striker k in the armed position, the spindle t continues to rotate and causes the bar 3 to rock about a fulcrum 5. Eventually, if the bomb has missed its aerial target, the bar 3 moves clear of the sleeve 1, allowing the spring 2 to effect the explosion. This is timed to occur before the bomb strikes the ground, the adjustment being effected by suitably placing the fulcrum 5, which is a pin mounted eccentrically on a rotatable stud 10. The Provisional Specification 1305/16 also states that, in a modification, the striker is in permanent alinement with the detonator, but between these parts is interposed a movable part controlled by the windactuated device. According to Provisional Specification 5140/16, the angle of the fan blades may be varied by means of a screw cap, to regulate (he timing.

Abstract: 1,093,852. Moulding felt. COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC & INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATION. Jan. 12, 1965 [Jan. 28, 1964], No. 1340/65. Heading B5A. Articles of felt are formed by introducing a slurry or pulp of wool fibres and water into a container or mould, and imparting thereto a motion such that the fibres knit together to form a shaped mass of decreasing size, the water expelled therefrom being continuously or intermittently removed. The motion is produced by vibrating and/or rotating and/or oscillating the container or mould, and the density of the shaped mass may be increased by using successively smaller moulds. In one embodiment (Figs. 1 and 2, not shown) a rotating vibrating mould 1 is used, a felted mass 3 surrounded by clear liquid 2 being formed. A fixed or movable core may be used to produce annular articles, e.g. belts &c. or an annular mould may be used. In a second embodiment a horizontally disposed cylindrical mould is rotated and vibrated by rollers in Fig. 3, not shown. In a third embodiment moulds are carried at the periphery of a rotating disc and are themselves rotated by a fixed gear which intermeshes with gears mounted on each mould (see Fig. 5, not shown). Each mould carries a shaped pressure-plate 13 which settles down upon the fibrous mass as it shrinks (see Fig. 6, not shown). In a fourth embodiment (Fig. 8, not shown) the slurry is vibrated in a funnel-shaped member 20, the compacted fibres being drawn off in the form of a pipe or tube 22 as shown, whence it may be further compacted.

Abstract: 942,996. Electric ovens. COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE. Jan. 14, 1960 [Jan. 14, 1959], No. 1375/60. Heading H5H. [Also in Divisions F2 and F4] In a cylindrical oven heated by a resistance wire 4 embedded in alumina 5 a tubular chamber 1 is heated by the elements and adapted to be cooled by fluid circulated under pressure through chambers at each end of the tube 1, the tube being contained in an enclosure 3 serving as a heat screen, in such a way that the tube 1 is not rigidly fixed in space but is both sealed in a fluid-tight fashion to the enclosure, and centred, before, during, and after heating, by means of elastic members 21 which are spaced to bear against the tube by the pressure of cooling fluid circulating at each end of the assembly. The oven has a central region which is a space filled with vermiculite which surrounds the porous insulating tube 1, such that the filled enclosure may be partially evacuated and/or filled with an inert or reducing gas at a partial pressure, and the space in the tube 1 may thus be evacuated to a pressure below that of the partial pressure in the filled enclosure space. By this means the gas pressures in the heating chamber may be varied at will, whilst a high degree of vacuum may be maintained in the device. The chamber may be evacuated through end 20, and the enclosure through outlets 8. The tube 1 may be of mullite or alumina. The gas pressure in the vermiculite filled space is always kept slightly higher than that in the tube 1 to prevent oxidization of the heating element if the heating tube 1 contains an oxidizing agent.

Filed: 1919-01-20
Abstract: 137,603. Lawrance, S. Jan. 20, 1919. Moulding-machines; clamping moulds.-Turnover table moulding-machines fitted with swing press-heads have a direct hand actuation during the greater part of the stroke, the final pressure being applied through means such as an hydraulic jack device. A hand-lever 28 linked to the ram head 13 at 30, 31 raises the head together with a trolly 46 running on flanged rails for facilitating removal of the moulds. Rods 39 provide for the lowering of the press-head 36, which is locked in place by automatic catches actuated by springs 43 on rods 41 connected to the ram-head. During the stroke, the turn-over table 1 is raised from its stops 4 on the press-columns, and fixed springs 10 unclamp the upper flask and clamp the lower. During this part of the stroke, liquid passes freely from above to below the main piston 15 through a valve 27. A small piston 19 working inside the main piston-rod is raised with the main rod by a spring 32. To apply final pressure, a treadle 20 connected to the cross-head' 18 is actuated for a succession of strokes, the piston 19 transferring fluid from above to below the main piston as controlled by ball valves 22, 23. For drawing, the valve 27 is positively opened by a cam 50 actuated by a lever which is automatically moved to close the valve by a tappet 52 at the end of the drawing-stroke.

Title: Improvements in or relating to delivery nozzle valves for liquid measuring apparatus
IPC: G01F3/20
Filed: 1932-01-18
Abstract: 399,157. Dispensing liquids. KENT, Ltd., G., 199, High Holborn, London, FLORY, H. G., 17, Blenheim Crescent, and COLEY, S. G., 110, Bishopscote Road, both in Luton. Jan. 18, 1932, No. 1500. [Class 116.] Delivery valve arrangements for petrol or other liquids associated with a meter are provided with means which automatically operate to prevent the valves from being manipulated to permit the discharge of liquid at less than a predetermined rate, said means operating mechanically to prevent the discharge valve from being held open at less than a predetermined minimum opening, or operating in response to' the flow of liquid through the pipe to prevent delivery below the predetermined rate. In the arrangement, shown in Fig. 2, when the handle 5 is raised to open the discharge valve 13 it first compresses an internal spring 17 until a chamfered shoulder 8 strikes the slanting inner side of the pivoted detent 18 and releases it from the collar 16 whereupon the compressed spring 17 forces up the spindle 9 and the collar 16 strikes the sleeve 11 and raises this and the valve 13 with a pop action. When the valve 13 is open the point of a second latch 21 slips under a shoulder 23 and prevents the valve from approaching its seating nearer than the predetermined minimum opening. In the arrangement, shown in Fig. 1, the above arrangement is associated with a piston 40 to the left-hand side of which the line pressure in the supply pipe 2 from the pump and meter has access through ports 32, and the delivery nozzle pressure at 1, acts on the right-hand side through ports 33. In normal delivery the valve 13 is held open by a strut 24 pivoted to the valve and resting on a flange 23 of the spindle sleeve 11. In the event of the delivery pipe being partially plugged so as, for example, to obtain illicitly a small non-metering flow, the fluid pressure in the delivery would rise and approach that of the supply pipe 2 ; the piston 40, being then substantially balanced, would be moved in a left-hand direction bv the spring 30, and remove the strut 24 from the flange 23, whereupon the valve 13 would be closed down immediately by the action of the upper spring 15. Specifications 2083/10, [Class 69 (i), Hydraulic apparatus &c.], and 336,294, [Class 116, Shop &c. accessories], are referred to in the complete Specification.

The roll 80 is mounted in an open-top receptacle 100 which includes a hinged cover 120 preventing dirt carried by the soiled towel from falling onto the roll. The pulling on the towel loop 82 rotates pinch roll 55, which rotates the measuring roll 50 since the latter includes a friction cover 51 of e.g. sandpaper, emery cloth. Roll 50 rotates a predetermined amount determined by time-relay means and drives a roll 60, which through a friction cover 61 rotates roll 65 anti-clockwise. Should roll 60 be violently stopped, roll 65 rotates and rolls over the surface of roll 61 from a normal rear position adjacent guides 66 to a forward position adjacent guides 67 and excess towel is wound onto roll 65. During the next dispensing operation, initially roll 60 rotates and carries roll 65 back to its normal position, during which no towel is wound. As the towel is wound onto roll 65, the latter moves upwardly between the converging guides 66, 67. A shield 70 beneath rolls 50, 60 protects the latter from dirt and provides towel guides 75, 76, Fig. 3 (not shown). To load, an upper door 20 is unlocked and pivoted upwardly on its hinges 21 and the receptacle 100 is pivoted outwardly about brackets 115 and cover 120 lifted about its hinge 123, see Fig.2 (not shown).
