Patent GB-423099-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to actuating mechanism for epicyclic change-speed gearing
IPC: F16H61/02
Filed: 1933-07-14
Abstract: 423,099. Variable - speed gearing. OLIVER, A. V., Merrick Lodge, St. Nicholas Street, Coventry, POMEROY, L. H., 49A, Lillington Road, Leamington, and DAIMLER CO., Ltd., Coventry. July 14, 1933, No. 20028. [Class 80 (ii)] In epicyclic gearing of the kind in which brakes are selectively operable by a bus-bar rockable by hydraulic means, the hydraulic means are controlled from a pedal or the like by means of valve mechanism. In the form shown, the bus-bar 14 is acted on by a piston 22 in a hydraulic cylinder 24. The pedal is connected through linkwork to a rock-shaft 54 formed with a projection 52 on which is pivoted a lever 50 bearing at one end through a strut 58 on the bus-bar 14 and at the other on the head 46 of a small ball relief valve 42 situated within a larger relief valve 36. In the position shown, the selected brake is engaged, liquid pressure being maintained in cylinder 24 by a pump which supplies liquid through the passages 30, 26, excess escaping through the spring-loaded safety valve 68 and passages 64, 66 to the suction side of the pump. When the pedal is actuated to release the brake, the projection 52 moves downwards, and, owing to the pressure in the cylinder 24, the strut 58 is held, so that the lever 50 pivots about its upper end, and opens first the valve 42 and then the valve 36, allowing the liquid to escape through the chamber 60 and passages 64, 66 to the suction side of the pump. The main braking force being relieved, the strut 58 now moves downwardly and further disengages the brake by rocking the lever 14 against the action of the piston-spring 32. On releasing the pedal, the spring 32 rocks the lever 50 back towards the position shown, thus initiating the braking effort, the full effort being applied by liquid pressure when the valves 36, 42 have closed. In a modification (not shown), the passages 64, 66 are omitted and liquid passing the valve 68 overflows from the chamber 60 and is withdrawn from the bottom of the casing. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 402,794 and 419,220.

Title: Hardenable products, containing aminoplast-forming groups, for use as glues or as moulding compositions
IPC: C09J161/20
Filed: 1957-06-26
Abstract: Inclusion compounds are prpeared by (1) melting 30 parts of oleic acid with 70 parts urea in the presence of methanol, (2) saturating 100 parts of a mixture of 80% methanol and 20% water with urea at 45 DEG  C., adding 10 parts of dodecylamine hydrochloride, heating to 50 DEG  C. to dissolve all solids followed by cooling to crystallize out the inclusion compound and (3) mixing at 10 DEG  C. a saturated methanolic urea solution with 54%, based on the weight of urea, of adipic acid.ALSO:Glues and moulding compositions contain as their active components a urea inclusion compound and either (1) a hardenable aminoplast resin, or (2) a substance capable of splitting off aldehyde under the conditions of hardening, or (3) a mixture of (1) and (2).  Compounds which may be included in urea are hydrocarbons, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, carboxylic acid amides, sulphonic acid amides, esters, ethers, nitro compounds, amines and their salts, and halides.  As component (1) condensation products of formaldehyde with urea, melamine, dicyandiamide, guanidine, or thiourea may be used and may contain fillers such as fibres or powdered cellulose, cellulose derivatives, starch, dextrin and starch-formaldehyde condensates.  As components (2) hexamethylene tetramine or paraformaldehyde may be used.  Glues obtained according to the invention are particularly suitable for glueing wood and for wood fibre and shaving compositions.  Thus pressboard may be manufactured from wood shavings impregnated with glue prepared from a urea formaldehyde condensate, a urea inclusion compound of paraffin and ammonium chloride as hardener.  The pressboard has no patches due to unevenly paraffined portions and shows no loss of strength due to the paraffining.  In the above process the urea formaldehyde resin may be replaced by a melamine formaldehyde condensate, the ammonium chloride by cyanuric acid chloride or an inclusion compound of dodecylamine hydrochloride and the paraffin inclusion compound by an inclusion compound of fatty acids, fatty alcohols, aliphatic amines of 10-18 carbon atoms, montan waxes or the paraffin-like residues of the Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. An example is given of moulding compositions prepared by mixing sawdust, cellulose clippings, textile fabrics, glass fibres or stone dust with a mixture of a melamine formaldehyde condensate, an inclusion compound of dodecylamine hydrochloride and paraformaldehyde.

Abstract: 188,039. Coleman, H. S. July 27, 1921. Monogrammic s i g n s .- A monogrammic sign has a field of electric lamps arranged in vertical and horizontal rows, or curved or zig-zag lines, and a field of correspondingly arranged contacts over which a contact closing member, in the fcrm of a raised surface having the contour of the character to he displayed, is moved, so that an apparent continuous translational movement from right to left, is given to the words &c. displayed by the sign. The device can thus be used for continuous announcement of advertising matter, news. &c. In one form, an endless chain passing over pulleys 204, 205, 207 carries blocks 8 having the required character in relief, a detached block being shown in Fig. 6. The relief characters move over a field of spring-pressed ball-contacts 4, and serve to close selectively the lamp circuits, either directly or through relays. A wiring diagram for a relay arrangement is given. The blocks are held in contact with the field of contacts by guide members 221, 222 having spring-pressed balls 217, 218 bearing against the upper surfaces of the blocks. Circuit is completed through a common lead 9<1>, balls 218, blocks 8, selected contacts 4, and corresponding leads 211. The blocks are detachable, to enable required messages &c. to be set up. In place of using an endless chain, the required characters moving across the contacts can be inserted successively at one side and removed at the other. The contact-closing members may have internal movement, for example, a representation of a bicycle, the wheels of which are made to revolve by suitable gearing, may be moved over the contacts, a corresponding movement of the wheels appearing on the bank of lamps. Colour effects may be obtained by the use of a moving endless band of transparent varicoloured material, parts of the band moving in opposite directions in front of the display lamps.
