Filed: 1928-09-10
Abstract: 322,258. Simmance, J. F. Sept. 10. 1928. Elastic - diaphragm pressure gauges. - The flexible container is supported at its free end by the member through which the movement of the container is transmitted to the pointer spindle in such a manner that the weight of this end of the container exerts only an axial thrust upon the spindle. The container formed by a series of connected aneroid boxes 1 is arranged with the axis horizontal. One end of the container is attached to a fitting 2, both the end and the fitting 2 being supported by a bracket 3 secured to the base 4. The other end of the container 1 is provided with a bushing 5 within which is adjustably secured one end of a rod 6 the other end of which carries a screw 7 the end of which has a conical hole which rests on a pin projecting upward from a crank adjustably mounted on an arm 10 projecting from the spindle 11 of the indicating pointer 16 which is provided with a counterbalance 17 and a bent-over end 18 moving over a part cylindrical scale. A disc 14 slides on the spindle 11 and mav be clamped just above the screw 7 to prevent the latter jumping away from the conical pin. A leaf spring is attached at one end to a support 22 adjustably mounted on the rod 6 the other end engaging a fixed stop 23. The spring exerts an initial pull on the aneroid boxes which pull decreases as they extend until the spring ultimately becomes disengaged from the stop. A uniform scale is thus secured. The frame 13 which carries the spindle 11 may be adjusted by a screw for adjusting the pointer to zero. The bracket 29 serves to mount the instrument on a wall and by adjusting the scale may be made to face in any direction. The scale is of opalescent glass and may be illuminated by a lamp in the casing or by a window in the upper part of the casing and an inclined mirror inside the casing. Several instruments may be mounted vertically above each other in a small space. The Provisional Specification also describes a form in which the container is mounted with the axis vertical, movement being transmitted to a horizontal for the pointer by means of an adjustable rod, a vertical link and an adjustable crank on the spindle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to delay circuit arrangements
IPC: H04M3/12
Filed: 1964-06-29
Abstract: 1,039,599. Transistor circuits. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. June 29, 1964 [July 2, 1963], No. 26745/64. Heading H3T. In a delayed switching circuit, a capacitor is discharged through an oscillator, the delay period being determined by the interval between the beginning of the discharge and the instant at which the oscillator stops oscillating. As shown, the delay period is initiated by setting switch I to position F 2 , so as to utilize the charged tantalum capacitor C as power supply for an oscillator comprising transistor Ts1, having feedback via windings L1, L2. The oscillator consumes a substantially constant discharge current, hence the capacitor voltage Vc (Fig. 1b falls linearly until a threshold voltage Vo is reached and which oscillation ceases. An alternating voltage is thus available at L3, starting when switch I is operated and lasting for a period Tn, adjustable by the emitter resistor R<SP>1</SP> 4 . This voltage is amplified at Am and rectified at Re before being used to energize a motor or relay for a predetermined period Tn. Alternate time periods are controlled by respective capacitors C, C<SP>1</SP> each charged from the supply V whilst the other is being discharged. In Fig. 2a (not shown) the oscillator is initially powered by the supply V and remains oscillating, after the control switch is actuated, for the predetermined period.
