Filed: 1949-03-02
Abstract: 670,274. Vehicle bodies; luggage &c. compartments for motor vehicles. SHAW, A. G. May 1, 1950 [March 2, 1949], No. 5697/49. Classes 108(i) and 103(ii) [Also in Group XXV] A combined bonnet and wing structure for covering the front or rear end portion of a motor vehicle chassis is constructed as a single unit 10 hinged at its front to the front end, or at its rear to the rear end of the chassis on an horizontal transversely disposed axis so as to be swingable vertically about the axis with reference to the chassis between a normal closed position, Fig. 1, and an open position, Fig. 3. In a rear engined vehicle a front end cover unit may also be provided to cover the front wheels &c. to form a luggage compartment. The unit 10 is in the form of a shell and is constructed of a framework 17 of welded metal tubes covered by metal panelling folded and riveted or welded to the framework. In a front engined vehicle the unit incorporates inner mudguards 18, and mudguard valances 19 which lie between the engine 12 and the wheels 16. The bonnet portion 11 may be opened independently of the unit for access to the engine. The unit is connected by a separate hinge pin 23 to each frame member 20, Fig. 4, but the hinge pins are removable so that the unit may be completely detached'from the chassis. When in the open position the unit tends to fall forwardly of the vehicle but is supported by a telescopic hook-ended stay 25, which stay may be stowed across the bulkhead 26 when not in use. The unit may, however, be supported in open position by a ground stay, or by a counterbalancing spring holding the unit against a limit stop. Spring-loaded fastening 38 on the unit (see Group XXV) automatically co-operate with spring plates 29 on the chassis as the unit is closed, the fastenings being released by a Bowden cable from the dashboard so that the unit 10 cannot be released from outside the vehicle. The flaps of the bonnet portion 11 are also provided with suitable catches. The unit also incorporates head lamps 45, the lamp leads 46 being carried around the hinges, or plugged in to a junction box &c. for easy disconnection. Fig. 9, (not shown) illustrates the invention as applied to a sports car in which the unit 10a incorporates the scuttle and windscreen of the vehicle. In this embodiment, however, the mudguard valances 19a are fixed to the chassis frame.

IPC: H04Q9/04
Filed: 1929-02-21
Abstract: 306,953. Siemens & Halske Akt.- Ges. Feb. 29, 1928, [Convention date]. Addition to 280,562. Tell-tale apparatus.-Relates to a system for the control and supervision of apparatus units at a remote substation of the type described in the parent Specification wherein a hand operated indicator is provided for each unit and the arrangement is such that when disagreement exists between the positions of the unit and its corresponding indicator an alarm is given. In order that a transitory condition of an apparatus unit, for example the opening and immediate reclosing of a circuit breaker, may be recorded at the control station means are provided to ensure that the alarm circuit continues operative upon re-establishment of the original conditions by the circuit breaker. As shown synchronously operated distributors 10, 11 at the substation and control station respectively successively associate the circuit breakers 1, 2 &c. with their corresponding control and supervisory apparatus over two line wires 15, 16. When a unit, such as 1, changes its position a polarized relay 14 at the control station is operated and a relay 25 is energized over the contacts of a hand-operated indicator 21. The relay 25 closes the circuit of an alarm 35, opens the control circuit of the unit at contacts 27, and transfers a continuously illuminated lamp 31 to a " Hashing " circuit at contacts 28. The operation of the alarms notifies the attendant of the substation operation and the indicator 21, is switched over into a position corresponding to the new position of the associated unit to deenergize the relay 25 and thereby nullify the alarms. A contact 40 in the line circuit also is opened upon operation of the relay 25 so that in the event of an apparatus unit immediately restoring to its original condition after a change in position, the relay 14 remains in its first operated position and maintains the alarm circuit in order that a complete record of the transitory operations may be obtained. A switch 36 is connected in the normal circuit of the lamp 31 and may be connected to the position indicator 21. Specification 290,653 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,034,312. Pure fluid amplifiers. SPERRY RAND CORPORATION. Feb. 14, 1963 [Sept 4, 1962], No. 5973/63. Addition to 1,027,817. Heading G3H. A pure fluid amplifier has a nozzle 46 for power fluid, a control nozzle 60 to deflect the power stream from a wall 48 and cause it to follow a wall 50, and a feedback nozzle 66 which, after an interval, causes the power stream to revert to the wall 48. The power stream tends to follow either wall 48, 50 in the absence of a deflecting stream by the creation of a low pressure boundary layer region. The outlet associated with each wall 48, 50 are divided into two branches 30, 32 and 36, 38. An additional outlet 34 receives a pulse each time the power stream is deflected from one wall to the other. The two branches 32, 36 are connected by pipes 54, 62 with an output device which may be e.g. a pure fluid or fluid-actuated data processing device, and the outlet 34 may be connected to a similar output device. An outlet 64 from a chamber 26 terminating the branch 38 is connected to a pump &c. for supplying fluid to, or removing fluid from, the chamber at a controlled rate thereby to govern the time over which fluid from the power stream can build up a sufficient pressure in the chamber 26 and feedback channel 40 to cause the power stream to be deflected from the wall 50 to the wall 48. Modifications are described in which the outlet 34, or that outlet together with the branch 30, are omitted.

Title: Improvements relating to colour photography and the like
IPC: G03C7/20
Filed: 1922-03-07
Abstract: 203,358. Hamburger, A. March 7, 1922. Colour photography; toning. - A method of dye-toning a positive or negative image, which may be employed to produce the elements of a multi-colour photograph, consists in treating the image simultaneously or successively with selected dyes of different colours, which impart to the image a range of tones extending from one colour to the other. In one example, as applied to the production of a multi-colour kinematograph film, two component negatives are made (1) for the green and blue-violet on a film treated with erythrosine and exposed without a light filter, and (2) for the red, orange and yellow on a film treated with pinacyanol and exposed through a red or red-orange filter. Positive prints are made from these, preferably on opposite sides of the same film. A mixture of rhodamine B and auramine is then applied to the positive from film (1), and a mixture of malachite green, xylene red, and brilliant green to the positive from film (2). Or, the dyes may be applied in succession to the appropriate positives. The positive film is bleached' in a solution containing chromic acid, potassium ferricyanide, and thiocarbamide, and washed to clear the highlights, either after the dyes have set, or before applying them. The positive from film (1) then exhibits a gradation from red to yellow, and the positive from film (2) a gradation from green to blue, the whole therefore giving the effect of a four-colour process with a greyish key due to the bleached silver image itself. The concentration of each dye is so chosen that sufficient dye is applied to saturate the portions of the image which represent the colour of that dye. In a modified process, the silver image is removed from the film to be dyed, leaving only gelatine differentially hardened', and the dyes used are acid yellow and acid magneta for the first positive, and crystal violet and azo blue for the second. Negatives from which the silver has been removed may be similarly treated, for example by the use of dyes of the pinatype series.
