Abstract: 1530998 Sound emitters; sound reflectors L M BARCUS and J F BERRY 18 Nov 1975 [2 Dec 1974] 47518/75 Headings H4J and H4X An electroacoustic transducer comprises a piezoelectric element having opposed planar electrodes, a sound transmission member of planar form coupled to the piezoelectric element with the electrodes parallel to the plane of the sound transmission member, and a damping memer positioned closely adjacent the transmission member to damp the natural resonant frequencies of the transmission member. A loudspeaker comprises a sound emitter 2 (Fig. 1), e.g. of steel but preferably of double weight 6" x 6" plate glass having its front face 2a fully exposed to the surrounding medium and the rear face 2b secured to a damping member 4 (e.g. of plywood, plastics or cork) having its lower end inserted in a groove 10 (Fig. 2) in a wooden base member 6 and secured by epoxy adhesive. The base member 6 carries a control knob 8. The sound emitter 2 is connected to the damping member 4 by blobs and strips 12 of adhesive 12, e.g. silicone rubber or mastic present over about 30% of their adjoining surface areas. A piezoelectric element 14 of lead zirconate titanate, size 1¢" Î ¢" and thickness 20-60 mils is adhered to the sound emitter 2 by epoxy resin on surface 2a or 2b, preferably surface 2b. Preferably the piezoelectric element 14 is coated with a second layer of adhesive (34) Fig. 7 (not shown) for protection. Frequency response is 1,200 Hz to at least 250 KHz. The damping member 4 may be secured to both surfaces 2a, 2b of the sound emitter 2. The piezoelectric element 14 may be at alternative positions on the sound emitter 2 (Fig. 8, not shown) but is preferably not symmetrically located. The sound emitter 2 and/or piezoelectric element 14 may be square, circular or triangular. The device has a wide directional characteristic with optimum intensity along the 30-degree-40-degree line (Fig. 9, not shown). The intensity distribution is symmetric on one side and is identical on both sides, except by some attenuation from the damping member 4. The flat surface of the sound emitter 2 may be used for imprinted pictures on the device. The device may be disposed on top of a "woofer" cabinet or on some nearby furniture. In another embodiment (Fig. 10) two sound emitters 38, 42 with damper members 40, 42 are at a substantial angle (e.g. 90 degrees) to each other and a reflector 46 reflects rearward energy. An amplifier 60 (Fig. 11) is connected to a speaker system 62 comprising a woofer speaker 64 and a piezoelectric device 1 of the type shown in Fig. 1. An air core transformer 66 is adjustable between four secondary tappings by control knob 8. A high pass filter 70(20ÁF) prevents shorting out of the woofer speaker 64 at very low frequencies. Two such arrangements are required for stereophonic reproduction and four for quadraphonic. An alternative arrangement (Fig. 12, not shown) omits the woofer 64 and capacitor 70 and is suited to frequencies of about 1,200 Hz and above.

Abstract: 1,024,672. Fuel injection pumps. LEYLAND MOTORS Ltd. Dec. 17, 1962, No. 47606/62. Heading F1A. In a fuel injection pump of the type described in Specification 953,314 the cam member 40 is mounted on a piston 42 slidable in the casing 10 under the control of a governor valve 68 to vary the extent of travel of the pumping head 28 and plunger 24 with the valve closed. The valve 68 controls the pressure in the piston chamber 43 in accordance with the pressure from the feed pump 12, which pressure varies in accordance with speed and the setting of a control spindle 72 which by means of a flat 71 controls passages connecting the feed pump outlet to the interior of the pump casing 10 connected through a restricted passage 80 to the inlet of pump 12. The pressure acting on the valve 68 is by-passed in the event of excessive movement of the piston 42 by means of a spindle 92, having a by-passing flute 94, connected through a bell-crank lever to the piston 42. The cam follower rings 42, 52 are angularly adjustable by means of a piston subjected to the feed pump outlet pressure to vary the timing of injection. A draw-back type outlet valve 29 is fitted and the outlet is successively directed to outlets 20 by means of a groove 36 in the plungerrotor 24. A shaft 98 which pre-sets the position of the piston 42 may be used to stop the engine. The pressure wave due to the opening of the valve 24, 28 is dissipated in the flutes of the spindle 26 by leakage before the parts 64, 65 align.
