Title: Seat Back Latch Mechanism
IPC: A47C1/024
Filed: 1968-05-02
Abstract: 1,168,380. Vehicle seats. FORD MOTOR CO. Ltd. 2 May, 1968 [2 May, 1967], No. 20784/68. Heading A4J. The pivoted back 14 of a seat of a two door vehicle is provided with an automatic latch mechanism 30 which allows slow manual pivoting of the back but prevents sudden pivoting, as would occur during a panic stop, (Figs. 1 . . . 6) or prevents pivoting whilst the seat is occupied (Figs. 7, 8), and an inertia device is incorporated in both constructions to prevent pivoting of the back when the vehicle is decelerating. The back 14 includes a hockey stick 16 pivoted at 18 to the seat 12 and carrying a latch 26 which projects into a housing 32, 34 bolted to the seat 12. The housing contains a pivoted detent 44 having an end 48 which is adapted to engage in an aperture 27 in the latch 26 to lock the back. Two leaf springs 52, 54 are riveted to the detent. When the back is pivoted forwardly slowly from the position shown in Fig. 4 the latch moves upwardly out of contact with the upper spring 52 and consequently the lower spring 54 moves the detent in counterclockwise so that the end 48 withdraws from the aperture 27. If this movement is jerky, as in an accident, the end 48 is engaged by the lower wall of the aperture 27. The inertia device comprises a rod 56 having a rounded portion 58 seating in a mating socket aperture 60 in a wall of the housing 32, 34 and acted on by a leaf spring 68 which tends to maintain the rod at right angles to the housing. A mass 64 is threaded on to the rod and a pin 66 on the inner end of the rod registers with an aperture 50 in the detent 44. Under deceleration the rod is angularly displaced by the inertia of the mass 64 and the pin is moved out of register with the aperture into contact with the detent 44 which is thus prevented from withdrawing from the aperture 27 in the latch. In the modification (Figs. 7, 8) the detent 44<SP>1</SP> is urged into engagement with the latch 26<SP>1</SP> by a pivoted L-shaped spring 72 having one arm disposed beneath a resilient deformable seat cushion 76. The spring is pivoted by the weight of the occupant of the seat to cause the detent to engage the latch 26<SP>1</SP>. When the seat is unoccupied a cup 83 made of resilient material disengages the detent from the latch, but during deceleration, the inertia device moves the detent into engagement with the latch.

Title: Process of and apparatus for precipitating and filtering
IPC: B01D36/00
Filed: 1924-09-03
Abstract: 242,383. Mills, L. D., and Crowe, T. B. Sept. 3, 1924. Precipitating.-In separating substances from solutions, for example gold and silver from cyanide solutions, by precipitation and filtration, the solution is caused to circulate wholly within the filter receptacle and to flow in one direction past the filter surfaces, part of the solution being withdrawn therethrough. A rectangular filter tank 10 has leaf filter elements 11 and a central cylindrical passageway 37 up which the liquid is drawn by a propeller 38. The liquid is distributed at the top of the passage 37 through openings 41 and air baffles 42, 43, and it flows down between the filter elements. The solution is supplied from a tank 21 through a vacuum tank 20 and a tank 22 in which a constant liquid level is maintained bv means of a float valve 24. Precipitant passes from a feeder 31 to a mixing cone 32, which receives, from a pump 19, solution which has passed through the filter. The mixture containing the precipitant is delivered to the filter supply pipe 30. When the liquid in the tank 22 falls below a desired level a float 28 opens an electric circuit and so stops the motor 35 which drives the pump 19 and a pump 26 which creates the vacuum in the tank 20. Agitators 47 on a shaft 48 are provided near the bottom of the tank. Modified apparatus is described in which the filter tank is cylindrical, the elements being arranged radially around a central circulating passage.

Title: Shock and vibration isolating mounting
IPC: F16F1/44
Filed: 1948-08-06
Abstract: 651,358. Resilient mountings. LORD MANUFACTURING CO. Aug. 6, 1948, No. 20868. Convention date, Sept. 8, 1947. [Class 108(iii) ] A resilient mounting comprises a body of rubber having a portion adapted to isolate shock, and a further portion adapted to isolate vibration, and releasable means adapted temporarily to render the latter portion unresponsive to vibratioris. In the construction shown in Fig. 2, nuts 6, 7 are bonded in a rubber body 5 which has a depending skirt 3. The supported member 8 is permanently secured to the nut 6. For shock isolation (as shown), the nut 7 is secured by a screw 12 to part of a packing crate &c. a cup-shaped washer 13 serving to " short-circuit" the skirt 3. For vibration isolation, the screw 12 and washer 13 are discarded, and the skirt 13 rests on the supporting member. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, a rubber body 15 has a conical web 20, the rim of which is seated in a cup-shaped bracket 22 rigid with the supported member 23. A stud 17 bonded to the member 15 passes through a central opening in the bracket 22, and is bolted at 19 to a plate 25. The mounting is converted from vibration-isolation (as shown), to shock-isolation Fig. 4, (not shown), by -securing the plate 25 to the bracket 22 with set screws so as to 'short-circuit the web 20. The plate 25 also serves as a vibration-limiting stop. In the mounting shown in Fig. 8, a rubber body 52 is bonded to the supported member 55, the supporting member 54 and a further member 57. A bolt secures the member 57 to a plate 65 for shock isolation (as shown). The bolt is removed for vibration isolation, the plate 65 then serving as a vibration-limiting stop. A further stop 66 is also provided. In a further construction Fig. 7 (not shown), similar to that shown in Fig. 5, the rim of the web 20 is bonded to the inner periphery of a rigid tubular shell which is seated in an annular socket formed in the supporting member. A plate permanently bolted to a nut bonded to the body 15 may be secured by bolts to the annular socket to short circuit the web 20. The latter plate and a further plate rigid with the supporting member, function as vibration-limiting stops. In a further similar construction, Fig. 6 (not shown), the body 15 has an enlarged rim to which is bonded the inner periphery of an annular plate. Set screws secure the plate to the supporting member, and for shock-isolating, the same screws secure to the supporting member, a further plate, which is bolted as before to the central portion of the rubber body 15. The latter plate is of dished form and must be unbolted from the body 15 and reversed, when the mounting is changed from one form of isolation prevention to the other, so that it functions as a stop in the vibration isolation position, without fouling the set screws.

Filed: 1954-07-22
Abstract: 811,293. Television. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. July 22, 1955 [July 22, 1954], No. 21369/54. Class 40 (3). Interlaced scanning of a continuously moving kinematograph film 4 is effected by an interlaced raster at 3 having alternate fields inverted with respect to intervening fields, a first image of the raster being formed on the film by way of a projection lens 6 and a second image being formed by way of the same projection lens and a plane reflector 7 which serves to displace and invert the image. In operation, the same area of the film is scanned in successive television fields, the relative inversion in the optical paths resulting in identical directions of scan so that correct interlacing' is obtained. A shutter 9 obturates alternate images at field rate, the shutter being placed behind the film before a condenser 8 and photo-cell where a film is being scanned to generate signals, and being placed before the film for recording. The film is advanced during each television field period by half the standard distance between film frames. and raster 3 is arranged to be of half normal height. Alternate fields in the raster are inverted by employing a symmetrical sawtooth wave of half field frequency for field deflection in place of the normal scanning wave. Intensity differences between successive fields arising from the use of reflector 7 in one optical path may be compensated by controlling the raster intensity. Adjustment of interlace may be effected by control of vertical shift. For scanning a film to generate or record signals as described above, raster 3 is produced on the screen of a cathode-ray image-reproducing tube 2. To generate signals with a cathode-ray pick-up tube, raster 3 is scanned on the target of the tube and the film is illuminated by a light source mounted in place of the photo-cell. Specification 475,032, [Group XL], is referred to.
