Title: Towel dispensing apparatus
IPC: A47K10/28
Filed: 1966-04-28
Abstract: 1,143,948. Roll towel dispensers. STEINER CO. LAUSANNE S.A. 28 April, 1966 [3 May, 1965], No. 18779/66. Heading A4G. A continuous towel dispenser in which a length of soiled towel is pulled out with clean towel against a weight held by brake means and released for retracting towel by timing means comprises a container 29, Fig. 5, with a lockable lid and front 23 within which are spaced brackets 50 on which is hung at 96 spaced mechanism carrying side plates 90 between which is a holder 133 from which clean towel from roll 132 passes over roller 141, to a frictional measuring roll 101 on which the towel is pressed when the front is shut by rollers 152a, 157 on the front. The towel passes around a central block 49 permitting only the sides of the clean towel to be grasped, the soiled towel passing along channel 35, through door 42, over brake roll 57 movable in bracket slot 56, under rolls 71, 72 carried on arms 62 pivoted to lever arms 60 pivoted on brackets 50, and over intermediate bracket roller 58, the arms 60, 62 being about half way down the casing back 29 as in Fig. 14. The towel then goes to a soiled towel roll 121 carried on upwardly sprung levers 116 within the side plates 90 whereby the roll is pressed against a drive roll 107 driven at the same peripheral speed by chain 112, on the casing side of the left-hand side plate, from the drive roll 101. On pulling clean towel at 49, cam 203, Fig. 14, on the casing side of the right-hand side plate, rotates with measuring roll 101 and shifts clockwise a stop plate 208 wobbling on pivot 205a so that timing suction cups 214, 215 are pressed together, a tooth on plate 208 engages a lead screw on the cam axis and moves towards the side plate until a stop dog 200 fixed to the screw abuts a stop 209 on plate 208 to prevent further withdrawal of towel, and a stop plate extension 212 lowers rod 240 and weighted and sprung lever 246 to bring a brake wheel 253 against brake roller 57 in such a way that roller 57 moves clockwise to allow a length of soiled towel to be pulled out with the clean towel thereby lifting rollers 71, 72 on lever 62, but cannot rotate anticlockwise so that lever 62 is supported in its lifted position. On timing out of the cups 214, 215, spring 224 swings plate 208 anti-clockwise and away from the side plate to separate the cups and release brake wheel 253 whereby levers 60, 62 fall under gravity and pull the soiled towel into the casing. When all clean towel is used, the levers fall fully and the rollers 71, 72 approach door 42 and withdraw all soiled towel. On lifting the front and lid 23 a cord 81 lifts levers 60, 62 above the normal high position, roller 58 entering slot 70, whereby removal and re-threading of towel is facilitated and side plates with holder 133 lifted out to remove soiled and renew clean towel rolls.
Patent GB-832516-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to hydraulic servo-motor systems
IPC: F15B9/12
Filed: 1956-06-18
Abstract: 832,516. Fluid-pressure servomotor-control systems. SOC. INDUSTRIELLE GENERALE DE MECANIQUE APPLIQUEE S.I.G.M.A. June 18, 1956 [June 18, 1955], No. 18813/56. Class 135. An hydraulic servomotor system comprises a continuous delivery pump 1, an hydraulic jack 12, a selector valve 7 therefor movable in opposite directions from a neutral position in which the opposed pressure chambers 10, 11 of the jack are shut off from the pump delivery conduit 5, and a by-pass valve 30 which is interposed between the conduit 5 and a return conduit 9, the valve 30 being urged in the opening direction by the pressure in the conduit 5 and in the closing direction by the pressure in a chamber 35 communicating with conduit 5 through a restricted orifice 36 and with the return line through an orifice or channel 38 which is blocked by the selector valve 7 except when the latter is in its neutral position. The pump is thus unloaded in the neutral position of the selector valve. The system is particularly applicable to the control of the lifting beam 16 of an agricultural or earth-digging tractor, the beam being connected through a lever 15 to the piston-rod 14. The valve 7 is operated by a hand lever 8 connected to one end of a floating lever 28, the other end of which is connected to the piston-rod 14 so that the valve 7 is returned to its neutral position when the beam is moved to the position corresponding to the hand lever. The outflow of liquid from the chamber 11 during the descent of the beam is limited by a spring-loaded valve 11a having a calibrated orifice therein. Except in the neutral position of the valve 7, the channel 38 is blocked by one of the lands 40. If the pressure rises unduly in the conduit 5, the pilot relief valve 41 opens to relieve pressure in the chamber 35 and hence allow the by-pass valve to open against a light spring 37. Liquid is locked in the chambers 10, 11 when the valve 7 is in the neutral position by spring-closed valves 24, 25 either of which is opened directly by the supply pressure and the other by the supply pressure acting on a plunger 26. Exhaust fluid enters a bore 21 in the valve 7 and returns to the sump 2 via a chamber 22 and a channel 23. Lateral slots 33 in the valve 30 enable it to close progressively. In a modification, the valve 30 has a skirt with staggered ports for the same purpose. The valves 7, 30, 24, and 25 are arranged in a control block 6 connected to the jack by flexible pipes 18, 19. If desired, the pump, jack, and valves may be grouped together as a single unit or all mounted separately. The calibrated orifice 36 may be arranged in a channel in the block 6.

Filed: 1931-06-30
Abstract: 381,559. Crank chambers. ELLOR, J. E., Grandell, South Drive, Chain Lane, Mickleover, Derbyshire. June 30, 1931, No. 18912. [Class 7 (ii).] The cowling b of an airplane engine a, having one or more longitudinal rows of cylinders, is formed with a diverging inlet aperture e, g and outlet louvres whereby a part of the air stream flowing over the cowling is diverted through the latter around the lower part of the crank case, which latter is thereby cooled, with consequent cooling of the lubricating oil therein. A curved plate d is mounted within the cowling around the crank case and the air passes through the space thus formed, the front end of the plate being secured to the cowling at the lower curved-out edge g of the inlet aperture and its upper edges being secured to the longitudinal members d<3> which carry the engine. A curved plate f forms a continuation of the upper curved-in edge e of the inlet aperture. Longitudinal fins may be formed on the bottom of the crank case to increase the cooling effect.
