IPC: A47J31/10
Filed: 1968-05-24
Abstract: 1,242,134. Liquid heaters. W. W. BALL & SONS Ltd., and FORTE CATERING Ltd. 22 Aug., 1969 [24 May, 1968], No. 24823/68. Heading H5H. [Also in Division A4] Liquid is automatically dispensed from a combined liquid heater and dispenser when a thermostatic valve 5 in an outlet is opened in response to the liquid reaching a desired temperature. The liquid is heated by an electric immersion heater 7 which is switched off by a thermostat should it be exposed. The thermostatic valve 5 is of the wax type and is located in a well 6 in the side of the vessel 1 so that it is spaced from the heater 7. This arrangement ensures that the temperature of the liquid in contact with the thermostatic valve is below that adjacent the heater until the latter boils, such boiling causing the liquid in the well to be suddenly drawn out into the vessel and replaced by hot water which opens the valve. The vessel 1 may be metal or plastics. The hot liquid e.g. water may be arranged to pass through an infuser to a secondary vessel e.g. a coffee pot.

Filed: 1955-09-01
Abstract: 813,787. Automatic control systems. ROLLSROYCE Ltd. Aug. 31, 1956 [Sept. 1, 1955], No. 25199/55. Drawings to Specification. Class 38 (4). The vertical velocity or acceleration of a vertical lift aircraft (e.g. jet lift) is automatically maintained at a selected value during take-off and landing. As described, in a vertical velocity control, Fig. 2 (not shown), signals representing the velocity, acceleration, and first differential of the acceleration are compared with a selected reference voltage, and the error signal with its integral are applied to an R.P.C. servo system controlling the lift engine throttle. Modifications.-(i) The vertical velocity signal may be derived as the integral of the acceleration, instead of measurement by a rate-of-climb meter, Fig. 3 (not shown); (ii) in a vertical acceleration control, Fig. 4 (not shown), the acceleration demand signal may be obtained by differentiating the selector signal, i.e. acceleration is only demanded when the selector lever is moved; a small signal from an attenuator 31, 32 may be provided to compensate for zero-errors in the accelerometer. System details.-A vertical velocity meter, accelerometer and throttle actuator are described: (i) vertical velocity meter, Fig. 5 (not shown), the flow of air to or from a lagged chamber 40, with changes in altitude, is measured by a hot wire anemometer, comprising a pair of resistance elements 42, 43, connected in a bridge circuit, so that the sense (polarity) of the output signal depends on the direction of flow; (ii) accelerometer, Fig. 6, (not shown), comprises a weight on a resilient cantilever arm operating a potentiometer contact; alternatively a spring-mounted weight with an induction type pick-off may be used; (iii) actuator, Fig. 7 (not shown), a solenoid controls a double-acting valve to operate a semirotary hydraulic motor controlling the throttle and a potentiometer supplying the positional feed-back signal.

Title: Improvements in or relating to rotary hydraulic pumps, motors, torque converters andthe like
IPC: F04C14/18
Filed: 1956-08-17
Abstract: 790,190. Rotary pumps and engines. RECHERCHES ETUDES PRODUCTION R.E.P. Aug. 17, 1956, No. 25292/56. Class 110 (2). An hydraulic system comprises an adjustable rotary pump A and a motor B both of the inclined-disc type. The inclination of a rotating disc 24, in the pump, is controlled by a lever 22, which is moved by means of a piston 43, Fig. 6, which is influenced by liquid under pressure controlled by pistons 44, 45. Each rotor has a central core 1, having a part-spherical surface which is truncated at the sides and maintained compressed between two pads 2, which are concentric with the shaft 3 to which they are fixed. Vanes 4 are carried by the core in slots and have relative movement with regard to the inclined, slotted rotary disc 24. Two flanged rings 5 prevent outward movement of the vanes and are held laterally by rings 6. Ball bearings 8 support the rotor shaft and take end thrust, and roller bearings 9 allow lateral play of the parts between bearings 8. Two steel rings 17, with hardened surfaces, are used to position shoulders 16 on either side of the stator. An annular space is provided around the periphery of the disc 24, this space being supplied with oil under pressure derived from the return flow from the pump. The disc 24 revolves between two low friction packing rings. The flow from the pump may be reversed by rocking the lever 22 over its dead-centre position, without altering the direction of rotation of the pumps. The connections between the pump and the motor include four wells 25, 26; 27, 28, arranged in pairs and carrying inlet and check valves 29, 30, soas to help eliminate air from the whole apparatus. An auxiliary pump 32, in the casing 14, is supplied with oil by a reservoir, and delivers it through a filter 33. Two piston valves 44, 45 are provided under the block holding a piston servomotor 43. Valve 44 controls the direction of propulsion, forward or backward and stopping of the apparatus, and valve 45 regulates the position of the servo piston 43, when running, the setting of the piston 43 being controlled by the lever 22. Oil, under pressure, is supplied on either side of the servomotor cylinder by way of inlets 48, enters annular grooves 49, and passages 51, 52 to the annular space between the two pistons 53, 54 of the valve 44, which is balanced, its central guide member having helicoidal grooves. As shown, the apparatus is stopped, an actuating lever 46, for the valve 44, being in the central position, Fig. 10 (not shown). Further passages 55 lead oil under pressure to the cylinder of the second valve 45. Braking of the motor is secured by progressive hydraulic blocking.

Title: Improvements relating to the manufacture of thread-cutting taps and the like
IPC: B24B3/18
Filed: 1938-08-29
Abstract: 518,625. Grinding screw-tips &c. BRISTOL AEROPLANE CO., Ltd., and SLADDEN, J. W. Aug. 29, 1938, No. 25324. [Class 60] Taper taps, reamers and like conical milling- cutters are backed off in a machine with a grinding-wheel, whose operative surface is inclined to the axis of the tap, and having means for simultaneously rotating and axially moving the tap. The tap 15 is mounted between centres or between a chuck and a centre on head and tail stocks adjustable on a slide 11 angularly adjustable on a base 10. The tailstock spindle 65 is spring pressed to permit axial movement of the tap and has a releasing lever 71. The headstock spindle is in two parts 24, 25 relatively adjustable angularly and clamped by a nut 29 and conical surfaces 27. To avoid irregularity of backing-off due to irregularity of spacing of the flutes the tap is relocated for each flute by a gauge 61 mounted on a bar 59 carried by a member 37 on the outer spindle part this member also having an operating handle 38. This member is held against a stop 79 in the case of taps for left hand threads in which position the gauge locates the cutting edge in the horizontal plane through the line of centres which also contains the line of tangency of the grinding-wheel, and also a pin 46 carrying a roller 47 is vertical. The inner spindle is now rotated to bring a cutting edge of the tap into contact with the gauge and the two spindle parts are clamped together. A swash plate 53 is set over to an angle depending on the lead of the tap and is clamped at 57. Upward movement of the handle 38 then causes simultaneous rotation and axial advance of the tap. A spring 40. assists the return movement. When right hand thread taps are to be backed off the stop 79 is replaced by the stop'82, the swash plate is inclined in the opposite direction, a gauge engaging above the cutting edge is used, and the handle 38 is moved downwardly. The bevelled flange of the nut 55 may assist in setting the swash plate.

Title: Improvements in or relating to distributing valves for pneumatic pressure responsive apparatus
Inventor: KIRK COLIN JOHN
IPC: F15B20/00
Filed: 1951-10-31
Abstract: 710,718. Pneumatic presses. SMALLPEICE, Ltd. Oct. 13, 1952 [Oct. 31, 1951], No. 25422/51. Class 122(3) [Also in Groups XXVIII and XXIX] Control of supply of compressed gas to a pressure responsive means e.g., a valve 11, Fig. 1, in a compressed gas supply pipe 12 of a pneumatic press comprising a piston and cylinder 16, 17 is effected by two control valves 14, 15 comprising two movable members 38, 46, Fig. 4, which in one position connect the valves 14. 15 in series between a reservoir 13 and the supply pipe 12 and when simultaneously moved to an alternative position connect the reservoir 13 to the pressure responsive valve 11, movement of one control'valve only to the alternative position serving to connect the reservoir to exhaust. In the valve positions shown gas from the pipe 12 traverses the valve 11 and pipes 19, 20 to effect the return stroke of the piston 17 which exhausts through a pipe 21 and the valve 11, and during this return stroke the reservoir 13 is charged from the pipe 12 through pipes 26, 27, ports 43, 41 of the valve 15, a pipe 28, ports 35, 34 of valve 14 and pipes 29, 30. On depressing valve buttons 39, 47 simultaneously the reservoir 13 discharges through pipes 30, 31, ports 36, 37 of valve 14 and a pipe 33 to displace a piston 66, Fig. 5, of the valve 11 against a biasing spring 75 to allow air to flow from the pipe 1 through valve ports 12a, 22a and pipes 22, 21 to effect the forward stroke of the piston 16 which exhausts through pipes 20, 19 and valve ports 19a, 62. On completion of the forward stroke, pressure built up against the working force of the piston 16 and in a pipe 85 depresses a valve piston 116 to gain access to a pipe 86 to depress a valve 80 so as to relieve the pressure beneath the valve member 66 to exhaust through pipes 33, 68, 81. The valve 11 then assumes its biassed position wherein it provides access of pressure gas to the piston 16 to effect the return stroke. but no further piston movement can occur until valves 4, 15 are released and the reservoir is subsequently recharged. In a modification the forward stroke of the piston is effected pneumatically as described above but the return stroke is effected by a spring; the pressure built up against the piston being exhausted through the valve 11 after it assumes its biased position. In a further modification wherein the return stroke is effected by spring pressure beneath the control valve, piston 66 is exhausted by connecting pipe 33 with the exhaust port of a.valve operated by a cam driven from a member moving with the piston 16.
