Title: Improvements in and relating to windscreen wipers for road vehicles and the like
IPC: B60S1/34
Filed: 1932-12-16
Abstract: 410,246. Windscreen - cleaners. LARK, R. P., Woodcote Road, Wallington, Surrey, and YOUNG, F., 32, Tooting Bec Road, London. Dec. 16, 1932, No. 35708. [Class 138 (i).] A substantially-horizontal wiper blade is carried at each end by a substantially-vertical arm which is adapted to be oscillated, means being provided to press the blade against the screen during its downward movement and to reverse the angle of the blade so as to withdraw it from the screen during its upward movement. In the construction shown in Figs. 1, 4 and 5, a tube 1 split longitudinally to receive a wiper strip 2, is supported by arms 5, one of which is adapted to be oscillated by a suction or electric motor 13. The lower ends of the arms 5 are cranked and of spherical form, and are seated in blocks 6 provided in the tube 1, being held in place by means of a ring 4<a> and an apertured sleeve 8. At the ends of the tube 1 rubber rings 12 are fitted which engage the windscreen so that as the wiper moves upwardly the strip 2 is turned away from the screen, engaging the screen only on the downward movement of the wiper. The motor 13 may be connected indirectly by one or more links to an arm 5. In the construction shown in Figs. 9 and 10, the arm 5 is of channel shape and is pressed towards the screen by springs 30 which also serve to hold the arm away from the screen when it has been turned outwardly about a pivot 23. The arm is oscillated by means of a rod 14, one end of which engages a slot 32 in the arm 5, the other end passing through holes in a U-shaped member 34 adjustably clamped to the spindle 33 of the motor 13. In a modification only one spring is used to press the blade against the screen. The lower end of the arm 5 may be secured to the blade holder by means of a T-shaped member arranged to permit rotary movement of the arm and holder. The engagement of the wiper blade with the screen may be controlled by the means shown in Figs. 18, 19, 20. The arms 5 are each adapted to move through an angle of slightly more than 90‹. In Fig. 18 the holder 1 is shown when moved down the screen a short distance from the extreme upward position. At its lowest position shown in Fig. 19, an arm 50 projecting from the arm 5 engages a projection 51 on the sleeve 43 to move the blade 2 out of contact with the screen, this operation being completed when the arms 5 move a little further, as shown in Fig. 20. On reverse movement of the arms and holder 1, the blade is out of contact with the screen until near the extreme upward position when the arm 51 is engaged by the arm 5 to alter the position of the blade.

Title: Improvements in or relating to magnetic reed relays
IPC: H01H51/28
Filed: 1964-09-01
Abstract: 1,036,027. Electromagnetic relay. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. Sept. 1, 1964 [Sept. 4, 1963], No. 35731/64. Heading H2B. In order to reduce contact bounce between the overlapping ends of a magnetic reed and magnetic contact member in a sealed envelope, the reed is locally flattened adjacent its overlapping end. The nickel-iron reeds in Fig. 1 are made from cylindrical rods which are initially flattened to a uniform thickness over substantially their entire inner lengths 4, 6 and 5, 7. They are further flattened at 8, 9 adjacent the overlapping contact ends 6, 7 so that although the parts 8, 9 are the most flexible, the movement of the contact ends 6, 7 on energization is predominantly due to the flexure of parts 4, 5. Each of the reeds such as 32 (Fig. 3, not shown) is made from a cylindrical nickel-iron rod by compressing the rod between two dies shaped to produce a flattened portion 36 at the fixed end, an intermediate, undeformed cylindrical section 38, a flattened portion 37 which is thicker and shorter than portion 36, and an overlapping contact portion 34. The contact portion 34 is also slightly flattened to provide a good contact surface. Polarized change-over contact units using the above described reeds are mentioned. The reeds may co-operate with rigid fixed contacts and the contact areas may be coated with gold or rhodium.

Abstract: 939,909. Upholstered seat adjustments. J. SCHWARZ. Sept. 19, 1962 [Sept. 26, 1961], No. 35745/62. Class 52 (4). A device for adjusting the harness of a seat surface has a manually operable adjustment member connected with and controlling a spring 19 which slidably supports the plate 25 which contacts the surface 10 through springs 26. The spring 19 pivots at 22 when its end 20 is displaced horizontally by the axial movement of pin 15 which may be screwed through the threaded sleeve 14 by rotation of knob 13, the sleeve being fixed with respect to the transverse seat member 12 by snap rings 17. Pins 18, 18a retain the spring end 20, which may be forked, on the pin end 16. The spring 19 may be attached to a rigid pivoted lever whose end is displaced by the above pin 15. Another form has the end of spring 19 retained by a nut which moves along threaded pin 15 which is here fixed relative to the seat frame. Alternatively the pin 15 may be advanced by rotating a threaded sleeve; in which case the pin is rotationally fixed.

Abstract: 1466503 Container traffic; container transfer by crane from ships CONRAD-STORK BV 29 Aug 1975 [6 Sept 1974] 35774/75 Headings B8Q and B8E A transhipment installation running on wheels 21 on a quay 22 has a horizontal girder 2 one part 3 of which is raisable by cables 5 on which run hoisting devices 6, 7 which operate at spaced locations joined by a horizontal conveyer 18 on a beam 15 having extensions 16, 17 the former being raisable by cables 19. The conveyer 18 consists of rods interconnecting endless driven chains which rods are provided with differently spaced bearing surfaces to support different sized containers. The conveyer 18 is movable along the beams 15-18 to any desired operating position. The arrangement allows flexible unloading of a container ship 23 since containers 14 can be raised by a spreader 12 of the lifting device 6 deposited on the conveyer 18 to be moved for picking up by a spreader 13 of the device 7 for lowering on to the discharge arrangement such as a truck. Since the conveyer 18 can be used as a buffer or temporary store a hold up with one lifting device does not prevent the other continuing or operating at a different rate. The containers may be lowered through the conveyer 18 in which case the containers must be turned through 90 degrees.
