Title: Improvements in or relating to Vehicle Lamp Mountings
Inventor: MARTIN FREDERICK RAYMOND PATRI
IPC: B60Q1/11
Filed: 1966-02-03
Abstract: 1,182,411. Vehicle lamps. ROTADIPPER Ltd. 22 Feb., 1967 [3 Feb., 1966; 19 Sept., 1966], Nos. 4851/66 and 41761/66. Heading F4R. A vehicle headlamp which rotates with the steering mechanism and is simultaneously tilted downwardly as it moves to either side of a median position is connected to the mechanism by means which includes a link pivoted at one end to a track rod, or to a member rigidly secured to the track rod, the axis of the pivot being aligned with a joint connecting the track rod to a steering actuating member. In one embodiment, the headlamp (not shown), is mounted in a support member 106 which includes a pin 107 rigidly secured to a lever 108 having a slot 110 engaged by a pin 109 depending from a lever 111 pivoted at 112 to a fixed mounting member 105. The headlamp is pivoted by rotation of a spindle 117 having a first drop arm 116 connected to the lever 111 by a drive rod 113 and a second drop arm 119 connected by a pivoted link 120 to a member 123 clamped to the track rod 103. The pivot 122 between the link and the member is aligned with a universal joint (135, Figure 11, not shown), between the track rod and the rack (104) of a rack and pinion steering mechanism. Tilting of the headlamp is produced by a cam (127, Figure 10, not shown), secured to the pin 107 and engaged by a fixed follower on the member 105. The inclination of the headlamps can also be adjusted by means of a lever mounted on the vehicle dashboard and operable by the driver, this lever being connected by a wire (134) to the top of the support member 106 which can move in a fore-and-aft direction. Where two headlamps are controlled the connection, to the offside headlamp may incorporate a little lost-motion so that the near-side lamp begins to move first when the lamps are raised from their fully dipped position. An adjustable stop on the dashboard limits the upward movement of the lamps. In an alternative embodiment (Figures 1-6, not shown), a support arm (14) attached to the bottom of the headlamp carries a first pin (13) slidable in a fore-and-aft slot (12) in the mounting member (10) and a further pin (15) slidable in a lateral slot (16). The pin (16) is connected to a drive rod (17) movable laterally of the vehicle and connected to the steering mechanism so that movement of the drive rod causes the lamp to rotate and dip simultaneously. The top of the lamp is supported by a member (28) slidable in a fore-and-aft slot (29) in the member (10) and adjustable by a screw (52). The screw (52) may be replaced by a Bowden cable Connected to the vehicle suspension so that the dip can be varied in accordance with the vehicle attitude. The cable is connected through springs (67, 68, Figure 7, not shown), to two further Bowden cables (65, 66) attached to opposite sides of the front suspension.  In both embodiments the linkage is such that the angle of rotation of the headlamp is not directly proportional to the steering movement.

It may be thermoplastic or thermosetting and may contain a blowing agent for the formation of a rigid polyurethane foam. The substrate may act as a mould or may be surrounded by walls defining a mould cavity and the polyurethane may be applied in liquid softened or molten form by casting, injection moulding, compression moulding, transfer moulding rotational casting, slush moulding or blow moulding. A thin transparent film of, for example, polyester, may be applied to the substrate before the metal is deposited thereon or may be formed on the finished article to protect the metal surface.

Title: Battery charging circuit
IPC: H02J7/02
Filed: 1971-09-24
Abstract: 1357409 Battery charging apparatus RONSON PRODUCTS Ltd 19 Sept 1972 [24 Sept 1971] 44740/71 Heading H2H A battery charging system comprises a capacitor for limiting the charging current and a neon tube for indicating whether a battery is being charged or not. If desired the neon tube may also be arranged so as to indicate whether the system is being supplied from an A.C. source or not. When a battery to be charged is connected to terminals 2 charging current will flow during the positive half cycles of an A.C. supply connected to terminals 1 by way of a current limiting capacitor C 1  and a diode D 2 . During negative half cycles of the A.C. supply a diode D 1  conducts and the capacitor C 1  charges in the reverse direction, the battery meanwhile receiving no charging current. Thus with a battery connected to terminals 2 the voltage across the capacitor is an alternating voltage and an alternating current flows through a circuit in parallel with the capacitor C 1  comprising a capacitor C 2  and a neon tube N. The tube strikes thus providing illumination which indicates that a battery is being charged. When no battery is connected to terminals 2 there is no current flow through capacitor C 1  during the positive half cycles, therefore the charge on the capacitor is unidirectional and the tube N does not strike thereby indicating that no battery is on charge. In a modification shown in Fig. 2, a resistor R 2  and capacitor C 3  in series are connected across the capacitor C 1  the interconnection points between R 2 , C 3  and C 2 , N being commoned. A relaxation oscillator is thus formed and when a unidirectional voltage is established across capacitor C 1  the tube N flashes showing that the A.C. source is switched on but no charging current is being drawn from the source. In this embodiment, the tube N not striking indicates that the A.C. source is switched off. A resistor R 1  provides a discharge path for the capacitor C 1  when the supply is switched off. The half wave rectifier arrangement D 1 , D 2  may be replaced by a full wave bridge and a resistor may be connected in parallel with one diode of the bridge.
