Title: Discharge of leakage fluid from a pump unit
Inventor: HAECKER JUERGEN
IPC: F04B1/04
Filed: 1998-03-10
Abstract: A pump unit 10 for a slip-controlled, hydraulic brake system has, in a pump housing 11, a collecting chamber 16 for receiving leakage braking fluid. In an installed position of the pump unit 10 on a motor vehicle, a discharge bore 17,18 leads down from the collecting chamber 16 to outside of the housing 11. Pressed into the discharge bore 17,18 is a body 20 which allows the discharge of leakage brake fluid in one direction and prevents the penetration of splashing water and submersion water in the other direction. The body 20 is made of porous sintered metal and the end face 23 which is inserted into bore 17,18 has a raised construction, such as a projection in the shape of a spherical cup, cone, cylinder or pyramid, to maximise the surface area responsible for the entry of leakage brake fluid. The end face 23 may have a chamfered edge 24 to facilitate its insertion into the bore portion 18.

Title: Making double-faced paper board: heating: start-up
Inventor: GREEN REGINALD ROBERT
IPC: B31F1/28
Filed: 1998-05-22
Abstract: In a double facer, a lower cover sheet is bonded to the glued crests of a single-faced corrugated board during passage above heaters 34 of a heating section (seen in transverse section). The sheet and board are pulled by opposed, endless traction belts downstream of the heater. The lead end of the lower cover sheet is passed above the heaters by gripping fingers 45, 47 on a reciprocable shuttle, when a matrix of board-pressing shoes 49 is raised clear. The fingers are clamped pneumatically, by air lines extending from either end of the shuttle track. The air lines also pull the shuttle. The fingers swivel to park parallel to the track. With sheet breakage, transverse bars between heaters 34 are raised automatically to hold the sheet(s) above the heaters. The shuttle gives safer start-up after breakage, and the board retains less water in the absence of a conveyor above the heaters.

Title: Fluid actuated clutches with end-of-fill detection arrangement
Inventor: HOSSEINI JAVAD
IPC: F16H61/06
Filed: 1998-10-27
Abstract: Fluid actuated clutches (eg 16, fig 1), controlling shifts in an autoshift transmission, are operated by a fluid circuit comprising a pump 12, reservoir 14 and a plurality of proportional control valves (eg 24, fig 1) which receive a command signal from an electronic controller (34, fig 1) when the clutches are to be engaged. Fluid actuated clutches require a volume of fluid to initially fill actuating chambers and displace pistons. Once the piston touches-up to a clutch pack the chamber is full and end-of-fill has been reached. A pressure relief valve 52 has a sensor 70 which detects a position of valving element 60 and relays the detected position to the controller. When the chamber is initially filling, the valving element 60 moves from a bypass position to flow blocking position, this movement is noted by the controller and when the valving element 60 returns to its first position the clutch is full. This end-of-fill is noted by the controller which provides a signal to the proportional valves to increase pressure to the clutches.
