Abstract: 447,126. Controlling change-speed gearing. CLERK, R. C., Sweet Briar, Runnymede Tow Path, Egham, Surrey. Nov. 10, 1934, No. 32443. [Class 80 (ii)] Stepwise change-speed gearing, on a vehicle such as a motor-cycle, is controlled by a rotary plate such as 81, Fig. 3, operated by an intermediate member such as a slide-block 83, connected to the clutch-control with lostmotion, through a cable 21, operation of which cable rotates the plate 81 in a direction determined by the lateral position of the block 83 with respect to the axis of the plate 81. The block slides in a slot 82 and is biassed by a spring 84 to the side for upward changes, a preselector cable 24 serving to move the block to the other side of the slot for downward changes. In this construction the plate 81 returns to the central position after each change. The cable 24 may be operated either jointly or separately by opening the enginethrottle, retarding the ignition, applying the service brakes, or by a separate manual control. Three such controls are shown in Fig. 5, being connected to control cables 91, 92, 93, adjustably secured to guided slides 87, 88, 89, which have lateral projections at their lower ends for engaging a central guided slide 90, resiliently secured to the preselector cable 24. In the modified control shown in Fig. 1, the preselector cable 24 swings a pawl-carrying lever 68 between stops 70, 71 on a plate 64 rotatable about the axis of a speed-selecting ratchet disc 60, which is moved in steps in either direction. The clutch-cable 21 is connected to the lower free end of the lever 68, and its pull is transmitted through either stop 70 or 71 to the plate 64 and thence, through the pawl 67 to the selector-disc 60. The lever 68 may be replaced by a pin-andslot arrangement similar to that shown in Fig. 3, the pawl 67 being then carried by the plate 64. The pin-and-slot arrangement of Fig. 3 may be replaced by a lever pivoted to the plate 81 and swinging between stops on the plate.

Abstract: 460,469. Testing balance of rotary apparatus. KUCHENMEISTER, C. W. Nov. 23, 1935, No. 32532. [Class 106 (ii)] In a machine for the dynamic balancing of rotary parts, means are provided for imparting oscillations, adjustable in phase and magnitude, to a pendulum weight suspended from the oscillatable support carrying the member to be balanced. This rotating member a is supported on two pairs of rollers b carried by levers c pivoted at d to an upright e. A lever h fulcrumed at i, in each lever c carries a weight j, and is connected at its upper end by a link n with a lever o fulcrumed at p in the upright e. A further lever q fulcrumed at r in the upright e is connected by a link s to a lever t fulcrumed at u in the upright e, and oscillated by a link v from an eccentric w upon a shaft x, which is rotated at the same rate as the member a which is being balanced, means being provided for varying the angular relationship of the eccentric w to the shaft x while the machine is running. To transmit the movements of the lever q to the lever o, there is interposed a roller y pivotally carried at z upon the lower end of a vertically adjust able screw 3. When the adjustments are such that the levers h cease to vibrate, the amount and the direction of the out-of-balance force is determined by reading the angular position of the eccentrics to and the height adjustment of the rollers y. In place of the rollers y, eccentrics may be used which are adjustable for throw.

Abstract: 1,113,311. Ultrasonic flaw detection. AUTOMATION INDUSTRIES Inc. 30 July, 1965 [24 Aug., 1964], No. 32090/65. Heading H4D. [Also in Division F2] In an ultrasonic pulse-echo flaw-detection system for testing steel billets moving through a testing station, the transducer probes are carried on a housing which is free to move about three mutually perpendicular axes so as to preserve a constant probe-workpiece spacing despite distortions of the billet. Pairs of support rollers 60, 66 and gripping rollers 92, 98 are mounted in the housing, H, and guide the billet shown in cross-section at B. Ultrasonic transmitting/ receiving probes are also carried by housing H and engage two adjacent faces of the billet B. Housing H is supported from a frame F by means of telescoping spring systems S. In. operation, if no billet is present at the testing point, as sensed by a pair of switches (68, 70), (Fig. 3), closed only by passage of the billet through housing H, the probes and rollers 60, 66, 92, 98 are held clear of the billet position by the retraction of air-jacks 26, 36 which hold housing H against brackets 22, 24, and by the retraction of an air-jack 72 which withdraws a member C carrying the rollers 92, 98. The closure of switches (68, 70) by the passage of the billet releases housing H from its seating on brackets 22, 24 and simultaneously causes the rollers 92, 98 to be moved into engagement with the billet B. Housing H is prevented from moving in the longitudinal direction of the billet by means of members coupling housing H to frame F, but is free to follow transverse movements of the billet. Liquid coupling between the probes and the billet is used.

Filed: 1967-07-17
Abstract: 1,237,686. Air cushion vehicles. HOVERMARINE Ltd. 17 July, 1968 [17 July, 1967], No. 32814/67. Heading B7K. A side-wall air cushion vehicle with automatic stability control, shown in plan in Fig 2, has two rigid side walls 12, the bow and stem of the vehicle having flexible skirts 13, 14, which, with the side-walls, define a cushion space 15. Air for the cushion is supplied through ducts to a series of slot-like ports 38 and 39, the air being compressed in conventional manner by fans, one fan supplying ports 38 and another ports 39, Fig. 1 (not shown). Each series of ports 38 comprises three ports, and each port communicates with the forward edge of its side-wall through cylinders 52, Fig 3; when a wave is encountered, water from the wave enters one or more of the cylinders depending on the height of the wave and actuates a spring-loaded piston 54, one end 55 of which actuates a cam profiled surface 50 on a valve 45. This valve, in a supply duct 49 adjacent the mouth of a port 38, closes the adjacent port 38 and reduces the cushion air supply, thereby countering the effect of the wave on the vehicle. The valve 45 is normally retained in an open position by a spring 47. A similar arrangement may be used to control the air supply through the ports 39. The direct linkage between piston and valve may be replaced by an hydraulic circuit, Fig. 6 (not shown). Alternatively the hydraulic circuit may be actuated by a pressure sensitive device other than a piston, Fig. 7 (not shown). In a further embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), the waves entering the cylinders exit from the rear of the cylinders through fish tail orifices so as to form fluid sheets to obturate the air supply ducts. In another embodiment a plenum chamber type vehicle in use over land has a member projecting ahead of the vehicle, Figs. 8, 9 (not shown), the member carrying a wheel which is normally just clear of the ground surface, so that when an obstacle is encountered by the wheel the member is deflected and decreases the throttle setting of the air cushion generating engine, the member being connected to the throttle control by a cable.
