Title: Improved locking means for the handles of vehicle doors
IPC: E05B85/22
Filed: 1944-03-04
Abstract: 575,205. Vehicle door fastenings. CHESTON, A. S., EDMONDS, E. C., CHESTON, B., and ROBERTSON, R. March 4, 1944, No. 4081. [Class 44] In a motor-car door fastening of the kind in which operation of the outside handle is prevented by a movement of the inside handle in the direction opposite to that required for release, the blocking member is mounted for pivotal and sliding movement, the latter being imparted by connection with the inside handle and the former controlled by co-operation of a cam surface on the blocking member with a fixed member. As shown. the outside handle 1 is of flush type with a horizontal arm 4 engaging a shoulder 5 on the bolt 6 so that the bolt is withdrawn against the action of spring 10 by pulling the handle outwards. The inside handle 13 is mounted on a spindle 14 carrying a follower 15 engaging a shoulder 16 on the bolt, which is withdrawn by clockwise movement of the handle, Fig. 2. The blocking member 23 is pivoted on a pin 21 slidable along a slot 22 in the bolt tail. The pin 21 is also connected with a pin 18 on the follower by a link 20. The bolt, blocking member, and link are slidably guided in a slot 8 formed in a fixed part 9 conveniently provided by bending up the rear end of the lock casing 7. The lower edge of member 23 has an inclined step or cam 24 co-operating with the lower edge of slot 8 against which it is held by a spring 25, anchored to a pin 26 on which is pivoted a spring loaded detent 31 wtih projection 30 adapted to engage in one or other of two recesses 32, 33 formed in follower 15, to hold the handle in locking and normal positions respectively. When handle 23 is moved anticlockwise, Fig. 2, pin 21 moves to the left along slot 22, carrying member 23 with it and, as cam 24 passes over the edge of slot 8, spring 25 rocks member 23 anti-clockwise so as to bring its end 28 against the edge of arm 4, and a forward projection 29 into engagement under the arm. Movement of arm 4 to the right to withdraw the bolt by operation of the outside handle is thus prevented, as the engagement of projection 29 under arm 4 prevents the clockwise movement of member 23 necessary to allow said member to be moved to the right by pressure of arm 4 on the end 28. The parts may, however, be restored to the position shown by clockwise operation of handle 13. A modification is shown in which spindle 14 is disposed some distance to the rear of the casing to serve as a remote control, with corresponding redisposition of link 20. In this case link 20 pulls the bolt to retracted position by engagement of pin 21 with the right-hand end of slot 22. Otherwise the mechanism is as shown.

Abstract: 312,106. Thurston, A. P. Feb. 16, 1928. Steering and balancing.-An aircraft having wing tip pinions tiltable about a transverse axis beyond the wing span in the same or opposite directions on the two sides of the machine, has alulas mounted on the leading edges of the pinions which are positively or automatically opened at large inclinations of the pinions. The pinions may be operated directly or by means of flaps at their rear edges. Means may be provided for permitting variation of the amount of projection and/or inclination of the alulas on one side only or on both sides of the aircraft simultaneously. The various pinions, alulas, &c. may be actuated from a control column as described in Specificatior. 180.359. The alulas may be mounted in any of the ways described in Specification 310,988. Fig. 1 shows a main pinion 2 mounted near its leading edge about an axis 2<a> beyond the wing tip as in Specification 186,990 and provided at its leading edge with an alula 3 mounted on links 5, 6 so as to open a slot automatically at large angles of incidence. The pinion carries a vane 4 mounted on: links 7; 8 from brackets at the rear edge of the pinion so that when moved by cables 7<a>, 7<b> passing through the axis 2<a>, the vane 4 moves rearwardly and dips forwardly to cause the main pinion 2 to move. The vane 4 may be replaced by a simple flap pivoted at or behind its leading edge to the rear edge of the pinion 2 or to brackets thereon, or the pinion may be moved directly and be without a rear flap. Fig 2 shows a modification wherein an alula 3 and rear vane 4 are moved away from the main plane as they are moved away from the pinion 2 by means of the linkage 9, 24, 11 shown. There may be a lost motion connection to ensure that the alula 3 does not move until there has been considerable movement of the vane 4. Fig. 5 shows means for ensuring the tilting of the alula or vane as it is moved away from the pinion, a bracket 15 on the alula or vane being pivoted to an arm 14 on the lever 9 or 11 which is pivoted at 17 to a block 18 pivoted at 16 to the bracket 15. The alula 3 and vane 4 may be interconnected to balance one another. There may be alulas at the leading edges of the main wings.

Abstract: 1485241 Internal shoe drum brakes; wear adjusting SOC ANON DBA 9 Feb 1976 [4 March 1975] 05001/76 Heading F2E In a drum brake comprising brake shoes 10, 12, a fixed fulcrum block 24 inserted between two adjacent shoe ends 28, 30, actuating means 18 inserted between the other shoe ends 20, 22, a hand-brake lever 32 pivoted on shoe 12 adjacent the actuating means and connected to shoe 10 by a strut 35, a wear-compensating de-  vice 46, and control means to actuate device 46 in response to predetermined relative shoe movement, the wear-compensating device 46 is associated with the fulcrum block 24 and the control means comprises the hand-brake lever 32, the strut 35 and retractable connecting means 48; the retractable connecting means 48 connects the hand-brake lever 32 to the wear compensating device 46 upon actuation of actuating means 18 and disconnects them upon direct actuation of the hand-brake lever. As shown, when actuating means 18 is actuated, hand-brake lever 32 is pivoted clockwise, so that a member 76 pivoted to its lower end moves leftward, thus tending to close a gap between an abutment surface 90 on member 76 and an out-turned lip at the top of an arm 82 of a lever 72, Fig. 1. With excessive travel due to lining wear, surface 90 contacts lever 72 and pivots the latter counterclockwise about pivot 74 on the lower end of shoe 12; thereby a slot 84 in an arm 80 of lever 72 moves end 68 of a spring downwards (in the plane of Fig. 1), causing the spring to slip around a threaded member (not shown). In brake release the parts are restored, and the now-upward movement of spring end 68 causes the spring to rotate the threaded member to increase the distance between shoe ends 28, 30. On the other hand, when hand-brake lever 32 is actuated directly by a cable 42, a gap between a stop member 44 on the cable and the righthand lower end of lever 32 is taken up, so handbrake lever 32 is pivoted clockwise, and a gap is created between member 76 and a locking member 98 (moved by member 44 through a spacer, not shown); member 76 is now caused to pivot counter-clockwise when abutment surface 90 contacts the out-turned lip on arm 82 of lever 72, and eventually edge 92 of lug 88 slides over the top of it, Fig. 7. Lever 72 remains stationary, so it exerts no action on spring end 68, so no wear compensation occurs.

Abstract: 956,551. Rolling wire. BRITISH IRON & STEEL RESEARCH ASSOCIATION. May 16, 1960 [Feb. 16, 1959], No. 5270/59. Heading B3M. A rolling mill comprises a pair of co-operating rolls each independently mounted in an overhung manner in a separate mounting, the two mountings being arranged on opposite sides of the pass plane of the material to be rolled, and being interlocked together to prevent relative movement by interlocking surfaces disposed as closely as possible to the pass line consistent with access to the roll gap. The mill shown in Figs. 1 and 3 comprises a base 18 which has shoulders 19 and a central upward extension 20 which is integral with the roll housing 14. The other roll housing 15 has two arms which embrace the extension 20 and which rest on wedges 22 located on the shoulders 19. The distance between the rolls is adjusted by moving the wedges 22 by means of a screw and hand wheel 35. The rolls are adjusted axially by a second screw and hand wheel 40 connected to a lever mechanism 43, 72 which moves the roll housing 15 and the wedges 22 bodily. Each spindle carries a rolling tool 55 which comprises a sleeve 27 held on the spindle by a collar 30 and lock nuts 31, 32. The spindles are supported by a front bearing 23, a rear bearing 24 and a prestressing bearing 46 carried by a member 47 which is connected to the piston 48 of an hydraulic pressure chamber 49. One or both spindles may be driven by a projecting part such as 16, or, if only one spindle is driven, the other may be spun by a separate small motor to facilitate entry of the work. In a modification for two strand working the spindle 16 is carried in two heavy bearings and has a roll at each end. The additional roll cooperates with a roll carried on a third spindle which is arranged and mounted in a similar manner to the spindle 17 so that the roll gap and alignment of each pair of rolls may be adjusted independently. A second modification for two strand working (not shown-see Fig. 5) comprises two assemblies as shown in Fig. 2 stacked vertically and with the shafts 16 connected by gearing and driven from a common power source. In a third modification (not shown-see Fig. 6) the axes of the rolls are vertical and again two of the rolls are driven by gearing from a single power source. With this arrangement the pass planes are at right angles to those of the second modification. In a fourth modification a main spindle is arranged at 45 degrees to the horizontal, and the roll size and spindle length are such that the two pass lines lie in a horizontal plane and the pass planes are at 45 degrees to the horizontal. Successive main spindles are arranged at right angles. Specification 956,552 is referred to.
