Title: A ready mixed concrete delivery truck
Inventor: PEARSON CYRIL
IPC: B28C5/42
Filed: 1985-03-20
Abstract: The truck has a main mixer 4 and an auxiliary mixer (5). The main mixer (4) may supply mortar to the auxiliary mixer (5) to permit the mortar to be blended therein with an additional material, such as a colouring pigment, without affecting the characteristics of the bulk of the mortar remaining in the main mixer. Thus successive portions of a single truck load of mortar may be individually modified to user requirements. The auxiliary mixer (5) may be mounted on a load measuring device. <IMAGE>

Title: Adjusting vehicle wheel height relative to suspension
Inventor: DRUCQUER GEOFFREY ALAN
IPC: B60G21/00
Filed: 1985-11-01
Abstract: In order to alleviate lateral weight transfer experienced by a vehicle during cornering due to the centrifugal forces acting on the vehicle the height of the vehicle wheels relative to their suspensions is adjusted. The dirigible vehicle wheels are each mounted on pivotal stub axles 7, 14. The axles have bushes 8, 9 and pivot around kingpins 5. The axles are turned by steering rods 12 from tie rod 11 and are constrained to move along a helical path relative to the pivotal axis of the mountings so that the height of the vehicle wheel relative to the vehicle suspension is adjusted as the wheel is turned by the steering system. Opposite wheels are adjusted in unison in opposite directions. Non-dirigible wheels are connected to the steering system and adapted to be raised and lowered with the dirigible wheels but without pivoting. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2173297-A (GB)
Title: Constant light pyrometer
Inventor: ENGEL DR FRANZ
IPC: G01J5/08
Filed: 1986-03-18
Abstract: A constant light pyrometer for contactless measurement of the temperature of test objects requiring exact sighting, for example small or distant objects, which can reflect daylight or artificial light, achieves alignment of the pyrometer during measurement without the sample radiation in the infrared spectral range to be evaluated being weakened and without ghost images being formed in the field of view of the pyrometer. A selective mirror 3 is disposed obliquely in the beam path of the pyrometer which divides the impinging radiation spectrally in such a way that at least one portion of the visible radiation is reflected and the sample radiation to be evaluated for temperature measurement 4, 5, 6, 7 is allowed to pass. The selective effect of the mirror 3 is achieved by the application of one or more optical layers on the front and back surface of the mirror or on its front surface. The visible radiation portion is passed to a sighting device 14 so that the pyrometer can be aligned on the test object. Alternatively the mirror 3 may pass the visible radiation and reflect the infrared. The sighting device may alternatively comprise a means for illuminating a spot on the object. <IMAGE>

Title: Switch having pivoted bridging contact
Inventor: CLIVES STANLEY WILLIAM
IPC: H01H3/00
Filed: 1986-09-05
Abstract: An electrical isolator switch has a moving contact member (20) as a link bridging between spaced stationary contacts (22, 24) in its make position. The moving contact member (20) has associated means (28) biasing it towards its make position. Operation of associated break-forcing means (18) results in preference for the moving contact member (20) to break its contact (24B) with one of the stationary contacts (24A of 24) rather than the other (22A of 22), but the other contact (22A, 22B) will break if the one contact (24A, 24B) is reluctant to break eg. welded. The break-forcing means has a link (18) pivotted to a switch dolly (14) and retained on the moving contact member for positive action. The link (20) interengages with the housing for guidance. <IMAGE>
