Title: Hydraulic power transmissions for vehicles
Inventor: PAGE GRAHAM DESBOROUGH
IPC: B60K17/10
Filed: 1959-07-08
Abstract: 941,289. Vehicle hydraulic transmissions. AUSTIN MOTOR CO. Ltd. July 5, 1960 [July 8, 1959], No. 32797/61. Divided out of 941,288. Heading B7H. [Also in Division F2] An hydraulic vehicle transmission comprises a primary unit, a secondary unit, a valve controlling a by-pass across the high and low pressure sides of the hydraulic circuit, and a centrifugal-type valve driven at a speed proportional to the engine speed and having one or more governor weights 15 acting upon a variable-rate spring 11 which loads a second spring 21 to move an element 22 proportional or nearly proportional to the engine speed to control a supply pressure actuating the by-pass valve whereby, over a range of speeds appropriate to engine take-up, the working torque is maintained proportional or nearly proportional to engine speed. The element 22 controls an outlet 24 so that pressure at an inlet 23 is varied to actuate the by-pass valve. In the idling condition of the engine driving the primary unit, the pressure at the inlet 23 moves the element 22 against the springs to reduce the pressure acting on the by-pass valve which is then in the open position connecting together the high and low pressure sides of the circuit. As the speed of the engine increases, the speed of rotation of the valve increases and the weights 15 are swung outwardly and act on an end cap 13 to move a member 19 against the pressure of the variable rate spring 11. the member 19 in turn acting against a second spring 21 to move the element 22 and progressively restrict the outlet 24 to progressively or nearly progressively with engine speed increase the pressure at the inlet 23, the increase in pressure moving the bypass valve towards the closed position so that increased torque is transmitted between the primary and secondary units. In another embodiment, the element 22 consists of a ball controlling the inlet 23. In a further embodiment, the housing 10 of the valve is extended to house a third spring which bears on the arms 14 of the weights to act in opposition to the spring 11. The second and/or third springs may be of constant or variable rate. Specification 761,534 also is referred to.

Title: Improvements in electrodes for indication and determination of the chemical composition of liquids
IPC: G01N27/30
Filed: 1927-12-05
Abstract: 302,490. Hatfield, H. S. Dec. 5, 1927. Testing and estimating.-The composition of a liquid is estimated by comparing the potential set up by immersing an electrode in it with the potential between a second electrode and a standard liquid. The electrodes are of comparatively large surface, e.g. pieces of wire gauze, and are placed on opposite sides of a thin porous plate forming one wall of a chamber which contains one liquid and is surrounded by the other. The diaphragm is readily removable for cleaning. The standard liquid is preferably slowly circulated through the chamber and subjected to slight suction to prevent mixing of the liquids. The electrodes may be directly connected through a low resistance galvanometer which may act as a relay and operate mechanism for controlling a chemical process, for titrating the liquid under test and recording the results. Fig. 1 shows an apparatus for automatic titration. The standard liquid circulates through a vessel 15 immersed in the titration vessel 1 and having a porous bottom 16 with interior and exterior wire gauze electrodes 18, 19 connected to a galvanometer 39. A definite volume of the liquid under test is supplied to the vessel 1 from a measuring vessel 8, and is titrated with successive small amounts of reagent displaced from a vessel 21 by the intermittent descent of a member 23. The latter is operated by the electromagnet 28, pawl 30, and ratchet wheel 24. A rotating switch 26 transmits impulses to the magnet 28 and simultaneously operates similar mechanism making records on a drum 38. When the potentials set up by the titrated liquid and the standard liquid become equal the galvanometer 39 closes a circuit at 43 energizing a magnet 47 which trips the catch 6 permitting the vessel 1 to rotate on the pivot 3 and empty itself. The projection 57 closes a switch 58, thus returning the arm 23 and pen 37 to zero and replenishing the vessel 21 via the valve 56. After emptying the vessel 1 swings back and in doing so trips the catch 12. whereupon the vessel 8 delivers another measured volume for titration. Specifications 264,237 and 282,168 are referred to,

Abstract: 1474855 Disc brakes CATERPILLAR TRACTOR CO 6 Aug 1975 [11 Nov 1974 31 Jan 1975] 32900/75 Heading F2E In a brake assembly having annular service and secondary pistons 122, 124 respectively, the pistons are in telescoping relationship. Piston 122 is moved axially to press interleaved discs 96, 98 against a thrust surface 86 when fluid is supplied to chamber 144 via passages 145, 146. Piston 124 is normally held inoperative by fluid pressure in chamber 132 but for emergency or parking brake application the fluid supply is automatically or selectively interrupted to allow springs 138 to urge the pistons into engagement with a shoulder 140 of piston 122, and so apply the brake. Fluid may simultaneously be supplied to chamber 144 to increase the braking force. Piston 124 moves on guides 148 fixed to piston 122 and carrying a relatively light retraction spring 150 for the latter piston. Further guides 120 prevent piston rotation. On termination of service braking a predetermined volume of fluid is withdrawn from chamber 144 to limit piston retraction and hence accommodate wear. Cooling fluid is circulated through the assembly from an inlet 52 to an outlet 54 and is said to assist piston retraction. In a modification (Fig. 2, not shown) cooling fluid exits via a passage in the service piston and the chambers containing springs 138; this enables actuating chamber 144 to be arranged at a greater effective radius than in the above embodiment. The brake assembly is connected to axle housing 14 by bolts 42 and is splined at 92 to wheel hub 22. On removal of the latter and bolts 42 the assembly can be withdrawn axially as a unit. Seals 105, 106 are made of glass fibre filled polytetrafluoroethylene.
