Title: Improvements in or relating to a window raiser
IPC: E05F11/48
Filed: 1951-10-01
Abstract: 693,155. Window operating. TRICO PRODUCTS CORPORATION. Oct. 1, 1951 [Dec. 9, 1950], No. 22846/51. Class 20(iii) A motor vehicle window system having a number of windows 1, 2, 3, 4 comprising an actuator for opening and closing each window, a rotary drive common to all the actuators, a power transmission for each window normally disconnected from the common drive but connectible thereto for actuating the respective actuator, and means selectively operable to connect the respective window actuator through the transmission to the common drive for operating any window. Each actuator comprises an endless cable passed round four pulleys 7, one of the lower pulleys having a worm gear thereon which meshes with a worm 9 driven by a flexible shaft 10 to provide a self-locking transmission. The shaft 10 passes from the door on the hinge side through vertically offset holes in the door and frame, so that the cable extends substantially in alignment with the hinge axis to avoid twisting &c. The power unit supported on the chassis comprises an electric motor 13 which is preferably reversible and has its armature shaft 14 extending at both ends. Clutch means 15, comprising pinions 17 on shafts 10 meshable with pinions 18 on the motor shaft 14, selectively connect the shafts 10 to the motor shaft and are controlled by manual switches 16 individual to each window. Solenoids 19 effect proper intermeshing of the pinions 18 and 17 as the solenoid connected switches 16 are actuated. The terminal portion of the window movement is retarded by interposing in the circuit a shunting resistance element 20 by opening the respective upper or lower switch 21 by means of a trip device on the window. To avoid injury to the system by holding the control switch closed after the window has reached its terminal position, safety means 25 are provided, e.g. as shown, in the form of clutches which may comprise co-operating friction discs, designed to slip under the pressure of an abnormal load. A thermal cut-out switch 24 may also be inserted in the circuit.

Filed: 1962-06-14
Abstract: 952,018. Ventilating closets. FI-JAX CO. June 14, 1962 [June 16, 1961], No. 22980/62. Heading E1C. An air-venting device 15 usable, e.g. in a water closet 18 comprises a cup-like case 36, within which, an exhaust tube 95 extends upward, over which extends a trap cup or hood 45 to produce a seal therewith, (Fig. 4), which is movable to and from the tube 95, and a case cover 38 open at the bottom below the top of the case 36. The cover 38 has an anti-siphoning opening 42 and valve means therein close this opening when the hood 45 is moved from the tube 95. The cover 38 contains a cylinder 62 in which is a piston 63, connected by a rod 55 to a lever 49 connected to the hood 45, and has a water intake passageway sealed by a valve stem 67, a passageway 60 to the cylinder 62 and a nozzle passageway 75 which is so aligned with the end of the exhaust tube 95 that the end 74 of the stem 67 produces a jet spray from the orifice or passageway 75, the stem 67 being retracted by suitable means to do so. The device 15 is mounted within a water tank 17 (Fig. 1) into which the bottom of the cover 38 extends to seal the interior thereof and the orifice 75 from which air is drawn by the jet spray when directed into the tube 95, restricted at 93 to act as a Venturi with water passage. The water closet 18 has a bowl 23 into which an overflow pipe 43 leads and the tube 95 extends above the water level and down from the tank 17 (as the tube 16) to the drain outlet 24 and is encircled by the cup 36 below this level, the hood 45 fitting over it having its lower end in the water in the cup 36. To form the spray a pipe 27 admits pressure water into the tank 17, to passageways 60 and 66 and past the stem 67 of a valve which is manually operated. The water then enters the cylinder 62 to operate a piston 63 and thus the lever 49 to raise the hood 45 to release the spray. The stem 67 is lifted by a lever 78 pivoted at 79 when a crank 81 of a pivoted rod is raised by turning a handle 35 clockwise. Turning anticlockwise reverses the action and if continued rod 107 is raised and float 32 to give a flush. Various forms of valves to close the opening 42 are described. In a modified form of device 15 applicable to a single-piece toilet the trap cup is connected to the walls of the case cover and serves as a means to support the cover within the tank. This form has two handles, one for flushing and one for operating the ventilating device, but this system may be modified so as to have only one handle.

Abstract: 583,710. Heel-building machines. POCHIN, H. W., DOVE, G. H., and JOYCE, S. A. Nov. 20, 1944, No. 23049. [Class 17 (i)] The hand member which operates a clamp to hold heel lifts in a mould in a heel-building machine is also utilised to drive the nails. In the form shown, a hand lever p<1> having a cam surface p thereon is pulled by the operator to depress a slide e mounted in the head frame of the machine and sleeves f, g and a plunger i mounted therein, until the clamping pad k carried by the plunger i contacts the highest lift of the heel in a mould (not shown) supported on the table of the machine. Further depression of the lever p<1> moves the sleeves f, g, surrounding the plunger, by contact of the surface p with a roller o on the slide e, against a spring r between sleeve g and plunger i, until the bottom face reaches a shoulder on the pad k to cause the driver m to contact a nail n retained in the pad and force it into the heel with a pressure which can be regulated by adjustment of the sleeve f in the slide e by screwing. A key s retains the nail tube in position during such adjustment. Axial movement between the sleeves f, g, is prevented by screws f<1> while permitting relative rotational movement. Nails are dropped into the flared upper end of the bore l<1> of a member l secured to the upper end of the plunger i.

Title: Improvements in and apparatus for injection moulding polymers of halogen-containing vinyl compounds
IPC: B29C45/58
Filed: 1955-08-12
Abstract: The temperature required to produce satisfactory flow of polymers of halogen-containing vinyl compounds without the use of softeners is achieved by forcing the material, which has been heated to a temperature no higher than 10 DEG -20 DEG C. below that required for satisfactory flow, out of the injection cylinder and into the mould through a constriction.  Work heating is thus applied for a time short enough to obviate decomposition of the polymer.  Advantageously the constriction is small enough to amount to a reduction in cross-sectional area of 75 per cent to 90 per cent and its passage is, in length, 4-2 times the diameter of the cylinder.  The constriction may be formed by a torpedo with grooves which divide the material into streams.  The preheating may be effected in zones, by resistance heating coils around the cylinder.  Preferably the mould is also preheated.  Fillers, dyestuffs, stabilizers and lubricants may be added, but the process allows smaller amounts of stabilizer, or less active stabilizers, to be used, and also makes it possible to do without lubricants.  Examples are given of pressures and temperatures applied to the injection moulding of specified materials according to the invention.

Abstract: 1464477 Testing ignition circuits; measuring voltage SIEMENS AG 24 May 1974 [25 May 1973] 23455/74 Heading G1U A circuit for analyzing spark ignition voltages comprises two detectors connected to taps on the high voltage side of the coil, one detecting a large negative going drop in the voltage and the other detecting a magnitude 2 less than a predetermined level over a predetermined time after the initial voltage pulse 1, the detector outputs being combined to give an indication. Faulty operation due to oiling or bad deposition on the plugs gives rise to a slow fall in the voltage after the pulse 1, Figs. 2 and 5 (not shown). Breakdown in the plug connector gives rise to multiple sparking and thus multiple pulses in the coil voltage, Figs. 3 and 6 (not shown). Thus, the detector outputs S1, S2 are combined to give three outputs indicating the two above fault conditions as well as correct operation.
