Inventor: BOLSWORTH JAMES
IPC: B60N2/015
Filed: 1993-11-16
Abstract: A rear seat for an all purpose vehicle has front and rear legs that are releasably latched to pins located in escutcheons in the vehicle floor.  The rear seat is manually folded and stored in the vehicle by releasing the rear legs and pivoting the seat forward on the front pins to a vertical position.   The seat is removed from the vehicle by releasing the front legs when the seat is in the stored position and lifting the seat off the front pins.  The latch mechanisms for the front and rear legs have locks so that the legs are not unlatched unintentionally.  A lift assist mechanism is also provided for pivoting the seat forward on the front pins to the stored position.

IPC: H02B13/075
Filed: 1993-02-26
Abstract: Abstract of the Disclosure EARTHING SWITCH FOR METAL-CLAD, HIGH-VOLTAGE SWITCHGEAR INSULATED WITH COMPRESS GAS      In the case of an earthing switch for a metal-clad, high-voltage switchgear insulated with compressed gas, the mobile earthing contact (3, 11) is arranged so as to be insulated from the earthed cladding (1) for measuring purposes.  This insulation arrangement of the earthing contact (3, 11) is bypassed by an electrical connection, preferably outside of the cladding (1), for the function of earthing switching device.  The electrical connection is released [disconnected] when the earthing contact (3, 11) is connected in the closed position to a measuring device.  In accordance with the invention, an additional contact arrangement (7, 7a, 8, 8a) is provided, which is forced to electrically bypass the insulation arrangement and which connects the mobile earthing contact (3, 11) to the earthed cladding outside of the closed and open position in the course of the switching motion between these two positions.      By this means, overvoltage resulting from discharge occurrences on the insulation arrangement and, if indicated, damage to measuring instruments connected to the earthing switches are reliably avoided.

Abstract: Left and right two stage brake valves communicate fluid pressure to left and right brake mechanism.  Each brake valve has an inlet for receiving pressurized brake fluid from a pump, a reservoir port, a stepped bore and a stepped piston member comprising a larger diameter prefill piston and a smaller diameter high pressure piston. The stepped piston is movable away from a rest position to transfer fluid to the brake mechanism. The stepped bore and the stepped piston form a high volume prefill chamber and a high pressure chamber. The high pressure piston has a groove communicated with the brake mechanism, and the groove communicates with the inlet when the high pressure piston has moved a certain distance to transfer fluid from the high pressure chamber to the brake mechanism.  The prefill piston has a sealing land and a second land on either side of a sealing ring which is slidable in the stepped bore. The sealing land sealingly engages the sealing ring when the prefill piston moves to transfer fluid from the prefill chamber to the brake mechanism. The sealing land is spaced apart from the sealing ring by a distance which is greater than the distance between the groove and the inlet when the stepped piston is in its rest position.

Patent CA-2147943-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROSENBLOOM WILLIAM J
IPC: C10G1/00
Filed: 1995-04-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for extracting bitumen whereby tar sand containing bitumen components is contacted with a heated thinning oil mixture to reduce the tar sand viscosity and dissolve bitumen to form a lower viscosity feed slurry.  The feed slurry is contacted with a light oil in a separator wherein the mixture is separated into product oil and oil sand. The oil sand is washed with solvent in a countercurrent fashion to extract occluded oil to form the light oil. Washed sand containing solvent is heated above the boiling point of the solvent in a mufti-hearth solvent recovery furnace to vaporize the solvent. The solvent vapors are stripped from the sand by flowing inert gas through the sand in the mufti-hearth solvent recovery furnace. Inert gas containing solvent vapors is directed from the multi-hearth solvent recovery furnace to a heat exchanger/scrubber where the inert gas and solvent vapors are contacted with product oil from the separator. The solvent vapors are absorbed by the product oil to form the heated thinning oil mixture which is contacted with the tar sand. The resulting thinning oil temperature is greater than the product oil due to heat transfer from the solvent vapors and inert gas. Inert gas is recycled from the heat exchanger/scrubber back to the multi-hearth solvent recovery furnace.
