IPC: H02K21/22
Filed: 2018-10-30
Abstract: A magnetic pole assembly provides flux to an air gap and comprises one or more magnetic pole pieces 30 and one or more sources of magnetic flux 40,50,60. Sources of magnetic flux lie adjacent to the axial faces (40) and circumferential faces (50) and one of the radially inner face (60) or radially outer face (fig 2d, 60) of each magnetic pole piece. Flux created by said one or more sources of magnetic flux enters the magnetic pole pieces to focus the magnetic flux towards and out of a radial surface not having an adjacent source of magnetic flux and increases the flux density in the air gap adjacent that surface. The surface not having a flux source can be a radially outer face or a radially inner face (fig 2d). The magnetic flux sources can be permanent magnets or electromagnets comprising coils (fig 2f) and a source of current. Two or more of plural flux sources can be in a unitary form (figs 3a, 4a, 5a). There can be a ferromagnetic plate (fig 2c, 100) adjacent the axial flux source 40, a magnetic tube (fig 10, 101) adjacent the radial flux source 60, and a pole shoe (fig 8, 38) extending radially and circumferentially from the face not having a flux source.

Title: Door closer
Inventor: RICHARD ASTON
IPC: E05F3/22
Filed: 2018-11-29
Abstract: A door closer having a first piston 18 which may include a rack engaging a toothed pinion, and may include a one way valve 19 and through passage 40. A biasing device such as a spring urges a second piston against the first piston. The second piston is configured to prevent the passage of fluid. The pistons may define a first, second, third, fourth fluid cavities 30-33. Preferably a valve 70 normally only allows fluid to flow from the third cavity to the fourth cavity during initial opening after which second piston is held in place as fluid is prevented from entering the third cavity allowing swing free movement, instead fluid flows from first cavity to fourth cavity via a passage (44, fig.10) the fluid flow may be adjustably throttled to prevent slamming. Valve 70 may be released in an emergency, e.g. fire, to close the door by second piston. A retro-fit kit is also provided.
