Title: Improvements in and relating to screens for varying the colour and/or intensity of abeam of light
IPC: H04N5/72
Filed: 1933-09-30
Abstract: 426,269. Colour screens. HOLIDAY, E. R., 13, Airlie Gardens, Kensington, London. Sept. 30, 1933, No. 26953. [Class 97 (i)] In a colour screen of the kind comprising a layer of coloured liquid, the thickness of which can be varied, a deformable tube filled with fluid engages the periphery of at least one of the two transparent plates between which the coloured liquid is contained, and means are provided for varying the pressure of the fluid within the tube so as to effect relative movement of the transparent plates. In the form shown, the coloured liquid itself forms the pressure fluid. Two thin corrugated metal rings 1 are joined together at their outer edges and have their free inner edges secured to metal rings 2 to which the transparent plates 3 are cemented so as to project inwardly beyond the rings. The interior of the chamber formed by the rings 1 and plates 3 is filled with the colour filter liquid and is connected by a tube 5 to a pump &c. At minimum pressure the resilience of the plates 1 holds the plates 3 in contact, and by increasing the pressure the plates can be separated as desired. In a modification the edges of the plates 3 are secured to a spring strip tending to separate them and closing the space between them. Rubber &c. tubes are arranged between one plate and a fixed frame against which the other plate bears. By pumping air &c. into the rubber tubes the plates are brought closer together.

Abstract: 841,826. Locking nuts &c. VOSSLOH, K. Sept. 4, 1956 [Sept. 5, 1955], No. 26953/56. Class 89(1). A split-ring lock-washer of flattened, e.g., rectangular cross-section-wire, has convexities, the apices 4, 5, Figs. 8, 9, of which are each remote from the spilt 1 by about 70 to 90 degrees. The wire rises at 2, 3, Fig. 12, from each side of the split to the apices more steeply than the subsequent fall to the portion 6. The ring is dished so that in the unloaded-condition, the inner-edge of the upper-surface of the wire, in the regions of the apices, is lower than the outer-edge. This inclination disappears on both sides of each apex, and is reversed at split 1 and portion 6. Specification 263,122 is referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to inboard-outboard motors
Inventor: BURGESS JOHN ELLIOTT
IPC: B63H20/12
Filed: 1962-07-16
Abstract: 995,657. Outboard drives. SMITH'S (HARLOW) Ltd. July 16, 1963 [July 16, 1962], No. 27258/62. Heading B7V. In an inboard outboard drive comprising an engine mounted inboard and connected through a clutch (not shown) to a horizontal driving shaft 1 which extends through or over the transom 53 of a craft, a vertical shaft 30 driven through a gear-box described in Specification 995,658 by the shaft 1 and driving through further gearing a propeller 37, said shaft 1 being connected to the input of the gearbox through a universal joint 7 which has both horizontal and vertical pivotal axes; the vertical shaft 30 and the propeller are mounted in such a way that when they are turned from a datum position for steering, the reaction of the shaft and propeller to the thrust of the propeller is laterally offset from the thrust. As shown, shaft 30 is surrounded by a casing 9 to which is bolted a rod 60, which co-operates with a thrust block 61 carried between legs 62 of a forked bracket depending from a housing 2. The rear part of rod 60 has threaded on to it a bobbin 65 which carries rollers 66 and 67 and which is arranged to be locked on the rod 60 by a set screw. At their ends each arm 62 has an inset rubber bush 68 in which is embedded a stub 69 to which is fixed a side plate 70, each side plate supporting top and bottom plates 71 and 72 which carry between them a thrust plate 73 over the rear face of which the rollers 66, 67 roll. Thrust plate 73 has an elongated hole 74 through which rod 60 projects. The propeller thrust is transmitted through the rollers 66, 67 to the thrust plate and hence to the housing 2 and to the engine mountings in the craft. As illustrated in Fig. 3 when the casing 9 is turned for steering e.g. to starboard, the rollers roll in the same direction along thrust plate 73. Since the casing 9 is pivoted about the vertical axis 75 of universal joint 7 the thrust T from the propeller will pass through this axis but the normal reaction N which the rollers and hence the casing receives does not pass through the vertical axis and consequently a component of the thrust T parallel to the surface of thrust plate 73 provides together with the reaction of the universal joint 7 a couple which tends to return the casing 9 to the datum position. The casing may be locked in a more upward position than shown, by means of rod 60 and a spring- loaded bolt 83 co-operating with groove 84 in rod 60. The casing is held in the normal driving position by a spring-loaded catch 76 which is arranged automatically to release the rod 60 and allow the casing 9 to swing backwards and upwards in the event of the casing 9 striking an underwater obstacle. Specification 995,659 also is referred to.

Abstract: 867,329. Seaming non - metallic sheets. FLAX, V. Aug. 30, 1957, No. 27365/57. Class 42 (1). [Also in Groups XI and XVII] Liquid-filled sachets of heat-sealable material have the opposed walls welded together at 3, 31 to divide the interior into two chambers 2, 4 of different sizes communicating through a restricted aperture or apertures 5. The sachet is filled through the bottom and sealed, and the size of the aperture 5 is such that the liquid does not normally enter the smaller compartment 2. When opened by cutting along the line 1-1<SP>1</SP> the liquid is not released but may be forced out by pressure on the chamber 4. The sachets may be made by cross-sealing a liquidfilled tube by a high-frequency welding electrode comprising main welding members 11, 12, Fig. 7, forming the seal, and interrupted welding parts 13 spaced slightly from-the main welding members to form the restricted apertures. Fig. 4 shows an alternative form of tubing the walls of which are welded together near one side at spaced intervals 9 during extrusion of the tubing and before the tube material has solidified, as by rotating clamping members. The tubing is then filled with liquid, which does not penetrate to the space 2, and cross-welded to form the sachets.

Abstract: 1,155,582. Centrifugal and axial-flow fans. W. HOLZER. June 21, 1966 [June 24, 1965], No.27611/66. Heading F1C. In a fan assembly having a variable speed drive, e.g. for cooling I.C. engines, the pitch of the fan blades is reduced by the aerodynamic forces with increases in rotary speed. The blades may comprise flexible fins extending from rigid spokes radiating from the fan hub and forming the leading edges of the blades, Figs. to 3 (not shown). The flexible blades may be of integral construction and be detachably connected via their rigid leading edges to radial posts attached to the hub, the blades being retained on the posts by split pins, Fig.6 (not shown). Alternatively, the blades may be of non-flexible construction and be pivotally mounted on radial posts 4a, Fig. 4, and held in their coarse pitch position by electro or permanent magnets 5 which abruptly release the blades at a given rotary speed. With electromagnets further control of the blades is feasible due to the dependency on current. The magnet support 6 may comprise a number of arms shrouded by a fared cover. In another embodiment, Fig.5 (not shown), having pivotally-mounted blades, the latter are biased into their coarse pitch position by compression or tension springs. The adjustment of pivotable blades may be influenced by adjustably varying the bearing friction at the pivot. The above features may be combined, e. g. to provide pivotally-mounted flexible blades having magnetic and spring-biasing. Each blade may be of one piece and connected to the drive-shaft by a socket. Some or all of the blades may have different coarse pitch settings. The blades may have reinforcing ribs or have a special profile to avoid undesirable resonance. The blades may comprise spring steel or rubber, or be injection moulded from or clad with plastics material. The invention may be applied to centrifugal fans.
