Title: A safety automatic stopping device for automobiles and the like vehicles
IPC: B60R19/32
Filed: 1939-01-03
Abstract: 522,063. Vehicle collision guards. YAMADA, K. Jan. 3, 1939, No. 140. [Class 103 (ii)] [Also in Groups XXXI and XXXIV] A safety device for automatically applying the brakes in collisions comprises a pilot beam or bumper 9 projected forwardly by compressedair means to a position corresponding to the vehicle speed, a switch 32 closed when the beam 9 is pushed back by an obstacle, and electrically-operated valves controlled by the said switch to release the beam from its forward position and to apply pneumatic brakes. In the construction shown the beam 9 is connected through springs 9 to piston rods 12 having pistons 15 sliding in cylinders 14 on the vehicle, springs 16 tending to. hold the beam in its rearward position. An engine-driven pump 5 supplies compressed air to a reservoir 8 from which it passes to the cylinder 14 through a pipe 22 and a valve, Fig. 3 controlled by a centrifugal governor 23 driven at a speed corresponding to the vehicle speed, so that the amount of air passing to the cylinder varies with the vehicle speed. The pistons 15 are moved forwardly by the compressed air against the thrust of the springs 16, and uncover spaced holes 17 in the cylinder walls until the air escaping through these holes equals that supplied through the valve 21, and thus the pistons and the beam 9 are held at a position corresponding to the vehicle speed. If the speed increases or decreases the beam is moved further forwards or backwards. When the beam 9 strikes an obstacle it compresses the springs 13 and closes switch 32 which completes two circuits. One circuit is that of a solenoid 30, Fig. 3, which opens a valve 26 and allows air to escape from the cylinder 14; the other circuit is that of a solenoid 43, Fig. 4, which opens a valve 40 and admits air from the reservoir 8 through pipe 41. to the brake cylinder 37 to apply the brakes. The brake cylinder acts on the usual shaft 49 connected to the brake pedal 50 and hand brake lever (not shown).

Title: Data translation system
IPC: B41J5/38
Filed: 1960-01-05
Abstract: 922,235. Selective punching. COMMERCIAL CONTROLS CORPORATION. Jan. 5, 1960 [Oct. 12, 1959], No. 391/60. Class 31 (2). [Also in Group XVI] A data translation system comprises two readers and two record tapes or carda with control means so that one reader can be halted and initiate action by the other, and second control means for automatically initiating resumed operation of the one reader. The information derived is used to operate a punching machine in a manner described in Specification 898,016 and the present system generally accomplishes the same results but increases the convenience and flexibility of the operations. The mode of operation in 898,016 is designated the non-synchronous mode, wherein information supply by either reader, a separately driven motorized reader or a reader associated with the punching machine, is used under programme control of either reader. The present system is designated the synchronous mode of operation wherein the related operations of the readers are such that a switch code read during operation of the motorized reader causes a single item of information to be read by the printer reader and a skip code read by the motorized reader causes one item of information to be read by the printer reader but not utilized. This enables a tabulating card to be read column-bycolumn under programme control of the motorized reader. Automatic non-punch operations may, in the synchronous mode, originate only by operation of the motorized reader and continue until a punch restore code is read by the latter; it may be manually halted but cannot be manually stopped. Also, manual non- punch affects only the motorized reader and continues until a stop code is read or until manually halted. Switch codes and skip codes are ignored during each manual non-punch operation. Further, a manual skip operation affects only the motorized reader and continues until a skip restore code is read or the skip operation is manually halted. Switch codes and skip codes read by the motorized reader during a skip operation are ignored. Specifications 750,454, 831,111, 832,908 and 922,236 also are referred to.

A lightweight non-ferrous clamp body 1 secures a cable by a cover-plate 2 and U-bolts 3 and is supported in the slots 6 of a galvanized mild steel stirrup 4 by a pair of trunnions 7 which comprise a wear-resisting bushing and project from opposite sides of the clamp body. Each trunnion consists of a core 8 integral with the clamp body and a malleable cast iron bush 9 which has a greater wall thickness at its lower side. The shape of the core and the inner walls of the bush are such that relative rotation is prevented and the core is spread to grip the inside of the bush and to overlap the end of the bush to ensure that relative axial movement is also prevented. Various shapes of core and bush are described. In one arrangement a part, and in another, the whole length of the core is of square cross-section; in another the round core fits in a round bush but flats to prevent movement are formed by compression, in yet another the bush and core are pinned together and in a final arrangement keys are formed on the core.

Abstract: 1,112,441. Electric selective signalling. HAWKER SIDDELEY DYNAMICS Ltd. 5 Jan., 1966 [5 Jan., 1965], No. 423/65. Heading G4H. [Also in Division H1] A selector switch having movable magnetic flux carrying members continuously rotated past magnetic contact units has an energizing coil which can be selectively energized to operate chosen contact units which are then retained in the operated condition by respective permanent magnets. In Fig 3 (not shown), a tape reader 44 makes a connection to a predetermined one of thirty-two selection terminals 34 which are connected to a selector rotated continuously with the flux carrying members of a primary selector switch 21 and thirty-two secondary selector switches 25. The first reading from the tape causes closure of a contact unit on the primary selector to connect one of the secondary selectors in circuit and a second reading causes closure of a chosen contact unit on this secondary selector- Any number of pairs of such readings will result in the closure of the same number of the 2<SP>10</SP> contact units of the secondary selectors. Reverse energization of all the operating coils for a complete revolution of the selectors resets all the contact units. The selectors may connect resistors in series (Fig. 4, not shown), and if the resistors are connected to a constant current generator and controlled by a tape reader as described above digital input can be converted to analogue output.

Title: Improvements in cameras for flashlight photography
IPC: G03B9/70
Filed: 1934-01-05
Abstract: 424,145. Flashlight photography. BOESSER, G. F., 293, Davis Avenue, Arling- ton, New Jersey, U.S.A. Jan. 5, 1934, No. 490. Convention date, Jan. 12, 1933. [Class 98 (i)] Two contact members are arranged within the casing of the iris-diaphragm shutter of a camera, both being connected in the circuit of a flashbulb and one being carried by the shutter operating mechanism and engaging the other during an early part of the opening movement of the shutter and remaining in engagement as long as the shutter is operated. In the form shown, the shutter consists of blades 5 pivoted at 6 and connected to an operating ring 7 having a cam projection 8 and held in closed position by a weak spring 10. On the casing are pivoted an operating lever 11 and an actuating lever 15, one end 14 of which engages the lever 11 and the other is provided with a nose 20. The lever 15 is held in inoperative position by a spring 17, the free end of which engages the timing lever 19. When the lever 11 is depressed, it rocks the lever 15 causing the nose 20 to engage the cam projection 8 and, when the end 14 of the lever 15 escapes from the lever 11, the lever 15 causes the ring 7 to turn, thereby opening the shutter, which closes when the nose 20 slips off the cam projection 8. For synchronizing the operation of the flash-bulb with the shutter opening, a contact blade 24 is mounted on but insulated from the shutter casing, and an arm 27 is carried by the cam projection 8 so as to come in contact with the blade 24 when the ring 7 begins to move. The flash bulb is mounted in a socket in a battery casing, one side of the bulb and one side of the battery being connected by leads to a socket plug which is inserted in the socket 22 one side of which is connected to the blade 24 and the other to the casing. A form applied to a shutter of the type known under the Registered Trade Mark " Compur " is also described. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 states also that the device is applicable to any type of shutter. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
