Title: Automatic pilot control
IPC: G05D1/00
Filed: 1947-04-21
Abstract: 670,568. Automatic control systems for aircraft. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. April 21, 1947 [April 29, 1946], No. 10556/47. Class 38 (iv). In an automatic pilot control means, the rate of course change responsive means and the attitude change responsive means are actuated from a pistol grip which also disconnects the course change responsive means from the rudder. As shown, the device is an improvement on the control device described in Specification 662,836, is applied to the automatic pilot described in Specification 662,831 and serves to disconnect the gyro-stabilized induction compass from the rudder while simultaneously placing the rudder ailerons and elevators under manual control from the pistol grip 271. The adjustable inductive devices 211, 215 transmit signals from the gyro artificial horizon to the servomotors of the ailerons and elevators respectively and the induction device 213 is similarly associated with the rate of turn responsive gyro and the rudder. For banked turns the movable windings 148, 132 and 181 of all the inductive devices are simultaneously rotatable, through gearing, relatively to the associated fixed windings 146, 130, 180 by rotation of the pistol grip 271 about an axis parallel to the craft fore- and aft axis, and the resultant signals at the control surface servomotors effect a correctly banked turn of the craft. For trim control, the elevator trim control 217, when rotated about an axis perpendicular to the craft fore- and-aft axis, rotates the winding 181 relative to 180 and effects adjustment of the elevator. Similarly, rotation of the bank turn knob 248 effects rotation of the aileron servomotor by relative displacement windings 148, 146. Switches 303 and 306, operated at grip 271, ensure that the induction compass is disconnected from the rudder upon initiation of a banked turn, while the cam system 282, 283, 279, manually adjustable by screws 292, 293 positions the winding 181 to prevent nose-heavy conditions during turns at a given rate.

Patent GB-762793-A (GB)
Title: Process for the preparation of isophthalic acid
Filed: 1954-04-13
Abstract: A process for preparing isophthalic acid comprises reacting meta-di-isopropylbenzene with molecular oxygen in the presence of a catalytic amount of a compound of a heavy metal and a lower aliphatic monocarboxylic acid of 1 to 6 carbon atoms in the molecule, at a temperature in the range of 150 DEG  to 275 DEG  C. and a pressure in the range of atmospheric to 1500 p.s.i.g. such that a liquid phase of the lower acid is maintained.  The reaction mixture may be at least 10 per cent saturated with water. Preferred catalysts are salts of monocarboxylic acids of from 2 to 10 carbon atoms.  In examples: isophthalic acid is obtained by passing oxygen into a mixture of meta-di-isopropylbenzene containing some para-isomer, acetic acid and manganese cumate at elevated temperature and pressure such that the reaction mixture contains an aqueous phase.  The crude product may be washed with benzene, or a lower carboxylic acid, e.g. acetic acid, or with methanol, ethanol or propanol.  The isophthalic acid may be esterified with methanol in the presence of an acid such as hydrochloric, sulphuric or phosphoric acid or it may be converted with thionyl chloride to the acid chloride and then esterified. The pure acid may be obtained by hydrolysis of the ester (1); in a similar process caproic acid is employed instead of acetic acid and in a further process cobalt cumate is employed as catalyst (2); in similar processes water is included in the charge (3) and (4).  The catalysts are prepared by reacting the appropriate metal oxide with a carboxylic acid, and higher acids may be dissolved in caustic soda and reacted with the metal acetate.  Manganese cumate, prepared by the latter method and dried first in air and then over calcium chloride under low pressure, is more soluble in meta-di-isopropylbenzene than if oven dried.  Terephthalic acid may be removed from the product by washing with glacial acetic acid.

Title: Improvements in and relating to combination locks
IPC: E05B37/08
Filed: 1962-03-22
Abstract: 995,869. Combination locks. MOSLER LOCK CO. March 22, 1962 [Nov. 1, 1961], No. 11027/62. Heading E2A. In a known kind of combination lock comprising a fence and a plurality of peripherallygated co-axial tumblers having a series of lostmotion connections with a driver, means are provided to cause the fence to be moved abruptly towards and away from the tumblers as the driver is turned, irrespective of the rate of rotation, and at a moment when the nose of the bolt operating bar is opposite the notch in the driver. The said means comprise a mask or shutter 39 which is rotatably mounted on the hub of the driver 12 and coupled thereto by a torsion spring 64. As the driver is rotated, the shutter 29 follows until, in the clockwise direction of rotation, as viewed in Fig. 6, a spring-loaded detent ball 74 engages a detent notch 51 in the shutter 29 which is thereby retarded against rotation and the tension of spring 64. When this tension is strong enough to overcome the resistance by detent surface 51, the shutter 29 clicks round to the position shown in Fig. 8, so that a gap 39 therein is co-incident with the notch 27 in the driver. If all the tumblers have been set correctly the fence 81 drops into the notches in the tumblers and the nose 83 of the bar 82 drops into the notch 27 to withdraw the bolt. If, however, the notches in the tumblers have not yet at this stage all been correctly set, the nose 83 is cammed back on to the rims of the driver and shutter by one of the surfaces 46 or 47 of the shutter, according to direction of rotation of the shutter, until such time as all the tumblers have been correctly set.

Title: Improvements in or relating to propelling pencils
IPC: B43K21/08
Filed: 1955-04-18
Abstract: 824,000. Propelling pencils. BARRY, T. F. H. March 13, 1956 [April 18, 1955] No. 11082/55. Class 146(3) In a propelling pencil of the kind in which the propulsion of the lead is effected by relative rotation between a helix and a lead propelling part which engages in the helical slot of said helix, said helix is held with one end against an abutment, and is restrained against rotation relative to said abutment by a projection on the one engaging in a recess in the other so that said relative rotation between said helix and said lead propelling part is adapted to be effected through relative rotation between said abutment and said lead propelling part, said projection being adapted yieldably to ride out of said recess in the event of overwinding so, as ,to ensure against damage due to overwinding. The leadholder 7 is carried on a stick 6 having at its rear end a projection 10 which extends through an axial slot 9 in a hub 1 secured to an actuating knob 2 and into the helical slot of a helix 4 comprising a wound flat strip which abuts at its front end a collar 5 on the hub and at its rear end has a projection 14 extending into a notch 13 in a bush 3 screwed into the barrel (not shown) of the pencil. On rotation of the knob the lead 8 is advanced or retracted, its advancing movement being limited by the projection 10 engaging the collar 5 and its rearward movement by a rod 15 engaging the knob 2. On continuing to rotate the knob 2 after the lead is fully retracted, the projection 14 is forced out of the notch 13 to compress the helix 4, which then rotates with the lead-holder 6. On continuing to rotate the knob 2 after the lead-holder is fully advanced, the projection 14 prevents rotation of the helix 4, the projection 10 rotating outside the forward end of the helix and compressing the latter. When the forward movement of the lead-holder is stopped by the converging inner walls of the point portion of the pencil, the stick 6 continues to move forward against a spring 16 to eject the lead. According to the Provisional Specification, the notch 13 is V-shaped, thus allowing continued rotation of the knob 2 in either direction to force out the projection 14 and rotate the helix 4.
