Title: Improvements in or relating to road vehicles driven by electric motors
IPC: B60K1/00
Filed: 1947-09-15
Abstract: 630,496. Electrically propelled vehicles. TUMILTY, H. G. Sept. 15, 1947, No. 24922/46. [Class 79 (iii)] In an electrically propelled road vehicle in which the driving torque is applied to the front wheels from an electric motor or motors not directly attached to or forming part of the front wheels and the electric motors are located in between the front wheels in close proximity thereto and drive the wheels through universal joints or flexible couplings, the electric motors are mounted vertically or nearly so and are integral with the reduction and differential gearing where such gearing is fitted. The electric motor control gear and driving connections may be mounted as a detachable unit with or without the wheel assembly. The control gear may be mounted adjacent to or forming part of the motor or motors. The electrical supply may be derived from storage batteries, generating plant, both carried as part of the vehicle preferably at the rear, or derived externally of the vehicle. A static battery charger preferably of the metal rectifier type, may be fitted and may be dismountable. In Figs. 1 and 2 the electromotor C drives the front wheels A through a differential D and universal joints E. The motor C is regulated by a controller G with a circuit breaker H, a control lever I and reverse switch J, actuated by a control lever K, the lever K being fitted with an electrical or mechanical interlock to prevent reversal whilst the motor is operating. The controller may be operated by a servomotor or may be hand or foot operated. A mechanical pneumatic or hydraulic delay unit may be fitted ensuring smooth acceleration in correct sequence. Regenerative or rheostatic braking integral with or separate from mechanical braking may be used. All the road wheels may be independently suspended. The transmission may include a reduction gear capable of being inserted either manually or automatically for gradients and starting.

Title: Apparatus for coating the ends of objects
IPC: B05C3/20
Filed: 1933-09-08
Abstract: In apparatus for simultaneously coating, by dipping, the ends of a number of rods 1, a workholder comprising spring blades 3 is charged with the rods 1 by means of a pusher 25 which carries out strokes of three progressively decreasing lengths.  When three rods have been inserted between a pair of blades 3, the carriage 15 is automatically moved one step, and rods are then thrust between the next pair of blades.  When the workholder is fully charged, it is moved over a vertically movable <PICT:0409567/III/1> <PICT:0409567/III/2> tank 36 of coating composition, and, by rotating the frame 19, both ends of the rods may be coated.

Title: Spinnerette
IPC: D01D5/28
Filed: 1963-06-24
Abstract: 970,840. Spinnerets. MONSANTO CO. June 24, 1963 [June 25, 1962], No. 24990/63. Heading B5B. A spinneret for the production of composite or potentially crimpable filaments is supplied axially with a first spinning composition which flows through pipe 22, manifold 16 and distribution plate 20 and spinneret plates 14 to chamber 36 and laterally with a second spinning composition which flows through pipe 32, annular space 30 and ports 34 to chamber 36, in which the two compositions merge before being extruded through spinneret plate 15 as filaments 37. The filaments are made up of discrete portions of the two compositions and the lines of demarcation between them extend across the filament at random, so that crimping can be effected by annealing the filaments. Spinneret plates 14 and 15 are desirably closely spaced so that each discrete portion is relatively small, this resulting in a more uniform crimp in the annealed filament.

Title: An improved apparatus for extracting or precipitating suspended particles from air or other gases
IPC: B04C5/20
Filed: 1936-09-14
Abstract: 481,802. Washing gases. RUWOLDT, J. A. L. Sept. 14, 1936, No. 25036. [Class 55(ii)] Apparatus for washing dust from air or gases comprises a main casing 1, a hot pipe 22 extending therethrough, gauze-covered gas inlets 6 with vanes 7 causing entering air to pass in a whirling stream round the hot pipe, and at the opposite end of the casing a water chamber 10 with a heater therein associated with the hot pipe for generating steam or water vapour and introducing it into the gas stream so as to precipitate particles into the water. The pipe 22 extends vertically through an inner casing 2 open at its lower end so that gas passing down through it passes over the water and rises between the casings 1, 2 through a space 15 containing a plate 18 with vanes 19, louvre plates 14 and baffles 17. The upper part of the pipe is surrounded by a flue 23 with apertures 24 to allow hot air to escape. The pipe 22 is heated by steam or exhaust gas, which also passes into a casing 25 in the water to heat water in open-ended vertical tubes 26 therein, so that steam or water vapour passes into the gas. An air jacket 28 surrounds the casing 25. The distance between the end of the pipe 22 and a shoulder 29 on the casing is adjustable to regulate the heating of the water. Sludge in the water chamber passes through a valve 32 to a detachable cup 31 and when the latter is removed, a spring 35 closes the valve. An electric heater may be used in place of exhaust gas.

Title: Controlling apparatus for liquid measuring devices
IPC: G01F15/07
Filed: 1925-10-08
Abstract: 241,212. Sauser Akt.-Ges., (Assignees of Wydler, H.). Oct. 10, 1924, [Convention date]. Liquid-meters. - Apparatus for controlling liquid measuring apparatus so that an adjustable. predetermined quantity is delivered comprises means for setting a member and starting the measuring apparatus, the operation of which gradually returns the member to its zero position, whereupon the measuring apparatus is stopped. or the pump supplying it is caused to cease delivery. A disc 4, Figs. 1 and 3, is turned to tension a spiral spring 5 by means of a knob 15 having a conical stem 14 engaging an aperture in the disc, a pawl 35 on the disc coacting with internal teeth on a ring 6 having external teeth coacting with a double pawl 7 and stop pawls 8, 9. The knob 15 is then pressed inwardly to disengage the stem 14 from the disc, until a catch 20 carried by a slide 18 engages a sleeve 22 carried by the stem 14. A weak spring 28 then moves the slide 16 and stem 14 so that a contact 29 engages between contacts 30 to complete the circuit of an electromotor which directly or indirectly controls the measuring apparatus. In a modification, the contact arrangement is replaced or supplemented by members on the slide 16 controlling a pump. As the measuring apparatus operates, motion is transmitted through balls 13, piston 12, arm 11 and shaft 10 to the pawl 7, so that the disc 4 is allowed to return step by step to its zero position. A spring-pressed catch 24 then drops into a recess 27, Fig. 4, thus causing a member 25 to act on the catch 20 and disengage it from the sleeve 22. A strong spring 16 thereupon overcomes the weaker spring 28 and the slide 18 is moved to disengage the contacts 29, 30 or stop the pumping of liquid.
