Title: Improvements in or relating to resilient cylindrical diaphragms applicable, e.g. to valves
IPC: F16K31/126
Filed: 1947-12-29
Abstract: 674,031. Pressure gauges. MORIN, A. H. Dec. 29, 1947 [Jan. 3, 1947], No. 34496/47. Class 106 (ii). [Also in Group XXIX] A resilient cylindrical diaphragm, adapted, e.g., to transmit a fluid-pressure variation to a measuring instrument, comprises an elastic fluid-tight sleeve bonded to traction elements in the form of inextensible threads, the sleeve being fastened to two rigid rings or plates at the ends of the sleeve so that fluid-pressure acting inside or outside the sleeve curves the threads and draws the endplates together. A number of threads a, Fig. 2, forming one or several networks are fastened to the plates A, B, and one or several films of an elastic substance are attached to the network. The sleeve 1, Fig. 3, is secured by clips 2 tightened by screws 3 to the plates A, B, so that. they are drawn together due to the lateral bulging of the sleeve when pressure-fluid is introduced via conduit 8, the displacement being transmitted through a rod 7. In a modification, the pressure is applied within a casing to the outside of the sleeve, causing it to bulge inwards and produce a displacement. In another arrangement, the diaphragm is constituted by two concentric sleeves, the pressurefluid being introduced into the annular space between them. Several diaphragms may be assembled in parallel or end-to-end. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 states that the diaphragm may have any shape forming a solid of revolution. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Folding machine
Inventor: DRYDEN THOMAS FERLIE
IPC: D06F89/00
Filed: 1960-10-08
Abstract: 962,328. Folding paper. WILLIAM JACK & SONS Ltd. Jan. 8, 1962 [Oct. 8, 1960], No. 34544/60. Heading B6H. [Also in Division D1] A folding machine comprising a doubling blade to fold a sheet being fed through the machine includes two feeler device engageable with a sheet and movable in opposite directions so as to remain equidistant from the blade, means controlled by one of said feeler devices when de-actuated after being activated. to move the devices towards the blade at the speed of sheet feed, and means controlled by the other feeler device when actuated to operate the blade and move the feeler devices away therefrom. Sheets are fed from right to left on endless belts 9, 10 over the upper edge of an arcuate folding blade 11 mounted on an arm 12 connected to mechanism 13. When the leading edge of a sheet engages a finger 19 of a feeler device 17, the finger being coupled to a switch, the latter is set, and when the finger is released by the passing on of the trailing edge of the sheet, the switch is actuated, causing an endless belt 4 to move at the same speed as the belts 9, 10 and in the same direction, so that the two feeler devices 17, 18 are moved towards each other, being mounted on the lower and upper runs respectively of the belt 4. The device 17 follows behind and adjacent the trailing edge of the sheet, and thus when the centre of the sheet is over the blade 11 the leading edge strikes a finger 20 of the device 18, which operates a switch to actuate the mechanism 13 to cause the blade 11 to swing upwards, folding the sheet centrally and delivering the folded edge to driven rollers 14, 15 which pass it to a cable 16. A trip device operates to reverse the movement of the arm 12 and return the blade to its lower position. The switch of the device 18 also acts to reverse the drive of the belt 4, so that the devices 17, 18 move apart. If the finger 19 during its reverse movement encounters a further sheet the process is repeated, otherwise the reverse movement is continued until a projection 21 on the device 17 engages an arm 22 which actuates a switch to stop the drive of the belt 4.

Abstract: 775,036. Flexible hose pipes. COMOFLEX CO, Ltd., and O'BRIEN, P. W. Dec. 1, 1955 [Dec. 15, 1954], No. 34816/54. Class 99(2) In a method of making a flexible hose, a mandrel 10 is surrounded by layers of unimpregnated fabric to which is applied a suspension, plastisol or solution of rubber or synthetic plastic material, e.g. polytetrafluorethylene, the impregnated fabric being then subjected to a sintering, curing or drying treatment to bond the component layers of fabric together. The hose may include an internal, external or embedded wire helix, and an external helical rib. Each layer of fabric is of cotton, rayon, nylon; glass fibres, or "Terylene" (Registered Trade Mark), and wound helically with an overlap; alternatively the layers are in the form of sheets wrapped with a longitudinal overlap around the mandrel, or tubular layers of braided, knitted or circularly woven fabric are drawn over the mandrel. A tube or a helically wound layer of polyvinyl chloride may be applied to the mandrel prior to the application thereto of the fabric layers. As shown, the mandrel 10 with the fabric layers thereon is enclosed by a tube 12 sealed by end plates 13, and liquid synthetic plastic material is pumped or poured via the inlet 14 into the tube, the whole assembly, if necessary, being rotated. After impregnation of the fabric, surplus plastic material is drained through the outlet 15, and the mandrel and hose are removed from the tube. Curing of the hose is effected by (a) applying heat to the interior of the mandrel, e.g. by introducing steam or an electrical element, (b) placing the mandrel and hose in an autoclave or electrically-heated oven, or (c) moving the mandrel relatively to an external, electrically or steam-heated collar, or providing high-frequency or infra-red heating. In an alternative method of impregnating the fabric layers, a vacuum is applied to the interior of the tube prior to admission thereto of the plastic material.

Obstruction r e - movers.- An obstruction remover for a vehicle comprises a fender - bar, provided on the face with shock absorbing means, connected to a secondary shock absorbing means comprising air cylinders from which the escape of air may be regulated so that the fender bar may be pressed back to contract with the wheel tyres to act as aditional shock absorbing means, the bar being curved at its ends so that if the front wheels are not straight at the time of impact they are turned by the bar into the straight position. The fender bar 24, Fig. 2, is provided on its face with resilient means 28, which may be an inflated tyre, and is carried on piston rods 23 working in cylinders 17. The cylinders 17, Fig. 4, have air escape holes 30 at their front ends and a loosely fitting bearing 21 at the rear end through which the escape of air may be regulated by a gland 22. A spring 27 restores the piston to its normal position after recoil. On impact with a body, the shock is first taken by the cushioning means 28, and if insufficient, the piston rods 23 are forced rearwardly in the cylinders 17, and if the gland 22 does not permit the escape of air, absorbs the shock. If the glands 22 are set to permit a partial escape of air then the fender-bar is forced rearwardly until it contacts with the resilient wheel tyres.
