Abstract: 930,802. Safety harness for use in vehicles. M. J. RICHMOND. Aug. 10, 1959 [Feb. 10, 1959], No. 4633/59. Class 141. A safety harness installation for vehicles includes a number of anchorages secured to the floor of the vehicle at positions to the rear of the seat portion of the driver's seat, a ring located near the top of the seat and secured by a strap to one of the anchorages, and a harness to extend around the upper and lower parts of the driver's torso in the form of a triangle and engaging the floor anchorages and the ring. Lap straps 11, 12, adjustably connected by a buckle 13 are secured to the floor at 10a, while the shoulder straps are secured to the floor at 10, are connected together by a buckle 14, and pass over the wearer's shoulders and through the ring (not shown) at the free end of a vertical strap 2 which is anchored to the floor at 5 and extends along the back of the seat. In a modification, the complete harness consists of a single length of webbing extending through rings on the floor and seat back and having its free ends buckled together at abdomen level. The points of attachment of the harness to the vehicle floor are disposed approximately three inches behind the rear edge of the driver's seat.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a screen for displaying optical images
IPC: G03B21/60
Filed: 1943-03-22
Abstract: 562,523. Projection screens ; focusing screens. KODAK, Ltd. March 22, 1943, No. 4645. Convention date, March 21, 1942. [Classes 97 (i) and 98 (i)] A screen receiving and displaying an opticallyproduced image is combined with means, disposed on the viewing side of the screen, for circularly polarizing extraneous light impinging on the screen from that side, reflection of such light being thus reduced ; the screen may be a projection screen, projection being effected either from the back, or from the front by light which does not pass through the polarizer, and may be provided, at the back, with an interference reflection-reducing layer. Fig. 4 shows a translucent projection screen 30 having a diffusing back surface 31, a plane polarizer 33 and a quarter-wave plate 32, the members 32, 33 being in layer form and applied to the front of the screen 30. An interference reflectionreducing layer 34 may be applied to the back surface 31, and the diffusing surface may be omitted and replaced by diffusing material scattered throughout the screen 30. The screen &c. may be used as a viewing screen in a reflex camera, or as a screen on to which an image is projected from the back. The manner in which the combination effects reduction of reflection of extraneous light from the front is set out in the Specification. Fig. 6 shows a modification in which the plane polarizing layer 47 and the quarter-wave layer 46 are spaced in front of a metal projection screen 44 having a roughened surface. A closed housing 41 extends between the polarizer and the screen, and the projector 42 is arranged behind the polarizer, its light being directed to the screen by a prism 43. Specification 504,557 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in Carburettors for use in connection with Internal-combustion Engines.
Inventor: COX ARTHUR
IPC: F02M7/26
Filed: 1918-03-16
Abstract: 124,061. Cox, A. March 16, 1918. Spray carburettors.-The nozzle discharges into a branch passage which conveys the primary air and fuel into a main air passage, and the fuel delivery from the nozzle is varied by regulating an admission of air to the branch passage between the nozzle and the main passage. The nozzle d, the outlet area of which may be adjusted by a valve g but does not vary with throttle movement; discharges into the Venturi-shaped branch passage c which delivers at c<3> into a constricted portion b<2> of the main induction passage which has an air inlet a<1> and is controlled by a rotary plug valve b. The valve which controls the depression in the branch c, and therefore the fuel delivery, comprises a rotary ported sleeve e adjustably connected to the throttle valve by a slot and screw e<4>. The ports e<2> which may be pearshaped are closed as the throttle is opened, and vice versa. The constriction b<2> may be located otherwise than in the throttle plug, e.g. between the air inlet a' and the plug. In a modification, the branch passage enters the main passage between two butterfly throttle valves which are adjustably interconnected by a link which actuates the depression-control'ing valve. According to further modifications, (1) the depression oontrolling valve e may be adjusted independently of the throttle valve by a Bowden or like control, which is particularly advantageous in connexion with aeronautical engines for varying the richness of the mixture and facilitating starting; (2) the valve e may be formed integral with the throttle; (3) it may be of slide or other form; and (4) the branch passage may enter the main passage at any angle.

Links 38, 38* from the slipper 42 are connected to the upper piston of the twin cylinders. The method of connection to each upper piston is by means of a beam 53, to the ends of which the links 38, 38* or the links 50, 51 of the twin cylinder are connected by spherical joints. Each beam is pivoted at 54 to a slipper 56, attached to an upper piston, and moving on a guide. The beams 53 are of different lengths so that the links 38, 38* clear the links 50, 51. Each main cross-head may be formed with a single slipper 31 moving on a guide 32, which is carried by the back columns 12 of the framing and is slotted for the passage of the arms 33, 34.

Filed: 1920-02-25
Abstract: 163,505. Haddan, A. J. H., (Naamlooze Vennootschap Algemeene Norit Maatschappij). Feb. 25, 1920. Purifying oils, fats, waxes, and glycerine.-The oil or melted wax &c. is thoroughly mixed with purifying material in a container through which the liquid is passed continuously, any purifying material carried forward by the liquid being retained by a separating device within the apparatus, removed from the separating device by mechanical means, and brought back to act on the liquid passing through the container. Suitable purifying materials are decolorizing carbon, finely powdered charcoal, kieselguhr, and fuller's earth. The mixing container 1 is provided with baffles 5 and stirrers 3, 3<a>, arranged to direct the purifying material towards the centre. The liquid is supplied through the inlet 7 and passes away through a vertical cylinder 11 and filter 2. Baffles 12 promote the settlement of material carried by the liquid, and the remainder is deposited on cloth-covered filter frames 13, from which it is removed by scrapers, so that it falls back through the cylinder 11 to the mixing cylinder 1. The liquid may be passed through a series of such apparatus, different or less-exhausted purifying materials being used in the later containers of the series. The purifying material may be treated with a washing or extracting agent in the cylinder 1 or in agitating-vessels 37 and centrifugal separators 36. Decolorizing carbon which has been once used may have any adhering liquid separated from it mechanically and be then used for treating a more impure liquid without immediate revivification.

Abstract: 940,019. Electron beam deflecting apparatus. PLESSEY CO. Ltd. Feb. 12, 1960 [Feb. 19, 1959], No. 5802/59. Heading H1D. The distortion effects of the vertical component of the earth's magnetic field upon the raster produced by the scanning coils of a cathode-ray tube are counteracted by employing a non-homogeneous magnetic deflecting field in which the field strength in the horizontal direction increases from one side to the other. In the case of saddle- or castellated-type coils, the horizontally directed magnetic flux produced by one of the vertical coils is increased as compared with that produced by the other vertical coil, by providing more turns on the one coil than on the other. When toroidal scanning coils are used, the correction is effected by positionally displacing the coils relative to the central horizontal plane as shown in Fig. 2A.
