Patent GB-2038927-A (GB)
Title: Hinge
IPC: E05D5/02
Filed: 1979-10-18
Abstract: A hinge mounting plate adapted to pivotally secure a door to a supporting arm for furniture or the like. The hinge mounting plate includes a base plate (22) for securing directly to the supporting wall (21), and a first control plate (23) superimposed on the base plate (22) so as to be slidable in the transverse direction. A second control plate (24) is superimposed on the surface of the first control plate (23) and is movable longitudinally, the second guide plate (24) being pivotally connected at one end to a hinge support arm (25). For control of the elevational movement (d-d') between the second control plate (24) and the support arm (25), a control screw (44) is provided which permits elevational adjustment but also serves to fix the second plate (24) and the arm (25). The arrangment is such that the mounting plate can be adjusted in any one of the longitudinal, lateral and elevational directions without altering the position of the mounting plate in the other directions. <IMAGE>

Title: Camera diaphragm control
IPC: G03B7/085
Filed: 1979-11-09
Abstract: A diaphragm 1 is stopped down until an electromagnet 7 receives a halt signal from a comparator 6. Comparator 6 compares a signal Uw generated by a photocell 2 located behind the diaphragm with a signal Us generated by a circuit 4 in accordance with pre-set values of exposure time and film speed. An additional signal Uk is derived from Uw (at 3) and added (at 5) to Us (or subtracted from Uw in Fig. 1b, not shown). Uk compensates for the delay between the comparator 6 producing its signal and the diaphragm mechanism coming to a halt. Uk is preferably the differential of Uw. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2051899-A (GB)
Title: Dyeing cloth
IPC: D06B23/16
Filed: 1980-06-16
Abstract: Cloth is dyed within a steam chamber 1 in which a pair of endless net conveyors 2 and 2' are arranged one above the other with the lower run of the upper conveyor parallel to and spaced from the upper run of the lower conveyor thereby to define a gap which serves as a cloth passage. The width of the gap is in the range of from 50 to 200 mm, and a plurality of dye solution nozzles 3 are provided alternately above and below the cloth passage to direct transverse jets of hot dye solution into the cloth passage through the adjacent conveyor run. The jet force causes a cloth 8 being treated to follow a snake-like undulating path as the cloth is advanced along the cloth passage on operation of the conveyor 2 and 2', thereby vibrating the cloth. Excess dye solution not absorbed is collected in a catch tank 4 provided with a steam heater tube 6, and is recirculated by a pump to the nozzles 3. <IMAGE>

Title: Coolable wall element
IPC: F01D5/18
Filed: 1980-12-02
Abstract: The wall element, e.g. forming part of a turbine blade, has a plurality of cooling holes 30 extending thereacross which are contoured to provide lower rates of convective cooling in the wall material adjacent the cool side 32 than adjacent the hot side 34. This may be achieved by arranging the portion 36 of each hole adjacent cool side 32 as being perpendicular thereto whereas the remaining portion 38 is inclined relative to hot side 34 so as to increase the wetted surface area of the hole adjacent side 34. Thermal gradients and resulting stresses across the wall element are thus reduced. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and device for detecting electrical charge of particles in a gas stream
Inventor: BUCSKY GYORGY
IPC: G01N27/62
Filed: 1982-04-01
Abstract: A device for and a method of detecting and, if necessary, for measuring electrical charge of particles in a gas stream, provide the possibility of measuring the concentration and stream parameters. The method consists in leading back to the stream system the charge led away for measuring. Thus the equilibrium of the space- charge in the environment of the detecting electrode is stabilized and accuracy of measurement is improved. Electrical charge can be detected in an enclosed system in which material such as granular or pulverulent materials are transported by a gas stream. The charge is generated either naturally (by collision or friction) or artificially. The device comprises a first, detecting, electrode and a second, return, electrode, both having the same area measured in directions perpendicular to the stream. The second electrode may be placed downstream of the first, or they may share a common plane perpendicular to the stream.

Title: Improvements in cutting devices for tiles
Inventor: WHALLEY LESLIE ALBERT
IPC: B28D1/22
Filed: 1982-12-20
Abstract: A tile cutter for separating into parts a ceramic tile or the like after scoring a break line, comprised of a pair of blocks (10, 12) hinged by strap hinges (14) and having proximate edge faces (18, 20) cut away to provide clearance for folding the blocks about the hinge. Slots (24, 26) extend through the blocks and are normally coplanar to admit a tile so as to bridge the gap between the two blocks, A stop (30) which may be adjustable towards and away from the hinge, governs the amount by which the tile can be introduced into the aligned slots (24, 26). Alternatively the tile may be held in position through a cut-out. A scale (38) allows the amount of insertion to be measured. A scribing tool can be used to scribe a line in the tile surface to define the break line and the tile is cut (or broken) by sharply moving one of the two blocks relative to the other as by a sharp impact, so as to stress the tile along the tile scribed lined to break the tile therealong. <IMAGE>

Title: Measuring-while-drilling
Inventor: SCHERBATSKOY SERGE A
IPC: E21B47/18
Filed: 1983-02-18
Abstract: In a measuring while drilling apparatus, pulses in the drilling fluid transmit measured parameters, and the generator of these pulses derives power from an electric source through a controlled path. This may be a constant current circuit, or the current out of the current source may be gated out of a store by the parameter sensor. Alternatively the movement of a pulse producing valve in the generator may be sensed and used to produce a feedback signal which joins the sensor output in controlling the valve.
Patent GB-2135744-A (GB)
Title: Braking apparatus
Inventor: LLOYD JOHN
IPC: B65G23/26
Filed: 1983-03-01
Abstract: Braking apparatus, for example for the driving drum (11, Fig. 1) of a belt conveyor, includes friction means 23, 24 capable of braking engagement with a rotary member 18 and so carried, by supporting means 21, 22 itself immediately adjacent and at least partly embracing a portion of the rotary member, as to be capable of limited arcuate sliding movement with respect to the supporting means about the axis of rotation 55 of rotary member 18. Brake release means 36 is operable in response to the limited arcuate sliding movement so that when, with the apparatus in brake-applied condition and the rotary member stationary, such driving torque is applied to the rotary member as will cause it to commence to turn, the friction means moves with the rotary member thereby sliding arcuately with respect to the supporting means and rendering the brake release means operative to effect disengagement of the friction means from the rotary member. The friction means may be of pad-type engageable with disc or annular surface of rotary member, but as shown friction means comprise brake linings 23, 24. When the linings are moved with rotary member 18 switches 79, 80 are operated to cause electrically operated valve means to extend on hydraulic jack 36 and release the linings against action of spring units 42, 43. For braking a centrifugal device controls the valve means to contract the jack. <IMAGE>
