Filed: 1973-04-04
Abstract: 1371879 Mounting batteries SEMPERIT AG 4 April 1973 [5 April 1972] 16003/73 Heading H1B A multi-celled battery box of hard rubber or polypropylene has projecting portions provided in parallel rows on its base or at the periphery of its base. These portions engage co-operating portions on a fixed base-plate to hold the battery in its position of use, typically by a friction fit. Forms of positive lock additional to or forming part of the co-operating portions are disclosed. The drawings (not shown) illustrate these and two arrangements of the co-operating parts, one in which the projecting portions are truncated wedges and another in which they are effectively studs with enlarged heads.

Title: Improvements in or relating to thermal electric switches
IPC: H01H61/06
Filed: 1956-05-24
Abstract: 789,936. Thermal switches. BOSCH GES., R. May 24, 1956 [June 2, 1955], No. 16051/56. Class 38 (5). A switch for flashing vehicle direction indicators comprises a magnet frame 10 energized by a winding 11 and supporting by means of a leaf spring 13 an armature 12. A hot wire 14 insulatedly connected at the upper end to the armature and at the lower end to the frame 10, when cold, biases the armature 12 into the position shown in which a contact 16 on the lower end of the armature engages a spring blade mounted contact 15. An auxiliary armature 36a mounted on a spring blade 36 carries a contact 39 cooperating with a fixed contact 40, the wire 14 being connected to the contact 40 through a resistance 46. When changeover switch 42 is closed to energize flashing indicators 43 or 44 a circuit is completed from the battery 45, contacts 15, 16, armature 12, spring 13, frame 10 and winding 11 (which is connected to the frame) to earth through the indicators. The attraction of the armature 12 reinforces the action of the hot wire but owing to the attraction of the armature 36a the initially-open contacts 39, 40 are closed to complete a circuit from the frame 10 through the hot wire and resistance 46 to earth whereby the hot wire expands and permits the leaf spring 13 to retract the armature 12 and open contacts 15, 16. The armature 36a thus releases and the hot wire cools to release contacts 15, 16 and repeat the cycle. A pilot light 47 is energized from the switch 42 when the contacts 39, 40 are closed.

Abstract: 333,945. Crabtree, J. A. May 25, 1929. Fuse boxes.-In a metal box for fuse assemblies &c. of the kind comprising a U- or channel-shaped body member with end plates secured to the body member by bolts or the like, said bolts also serve to secure external attachments such as hinge-knuckles, lid-fastenings, lugs &c. to the box. As shown in Fig. 1, two lugs a', with holes b<3>, of an external attachment a are inserted through openings in the side b of the box, so that holes b<3> register with a bolt hole c' in one of the end plates c and receive a bolt d. In one modification a stud h, Fig. 10, separate from, or integral with the external knuckle piece passes through the box and engages with an eyed bolt k. In a further modification, Fig. 11, a bolt m having a cranked end m<1> passes through holes m<3>, m<2> and m<4> in the external attachment, and the side and end of the box. Other modifications are described in which the assembly bolts are of the draw-bolt type and in which the internally projecting lugs are not integral with the external attachments.

Title: Improved power plant and method of generating power
IPC: F02C3/26
Filed: 1945-06-26
Abstract: 595,807. Gas turbines. LYSHOLM, A. June 26, 1945, No. 16306. [Class 110 (iii)] A gas turbine plant, using heated air as the working fluid, comprises a multistage compressor, with interstage coolers 166 and two initial stages 24, 26 in parallel, a multi-stage turbine, with interstage reheaters 48, 57 and exhausting through a heat-exchanger 70 in which the exhaust gives up heat to the compressed air, and a main air heater 34. In the latter, air from the heat-exchanger 70 passes through a coil 60 to a cylindrical wall of tubes between headers 46, 48 and thence to the turbine. The first interstage heater is a coil 48 which forms the crown to the main heating space between the headers 44, 46. The second interstage heater 57 lies out of the range of the radiant heat. Part of the air exhausted by the turbine is re-heated in an economizer 66 and led to the combustion space of the main heater. Another part may pass by control valve 96 direct to the combustion space. The rest of the air may be led to an ejector nozzle 176 to produce a forced draught. The interstage reheaters 48, 57 may be shortcircuited by means of valves 168, 172 controlled by thermostats 170, 174 in the stage exhaust pipes. The two initial stages 24, 26 of the air compressor may be separately short-circuited by valves 110, 112 and the stage 26 may be stopped by means of a clutch 28. The fuel valve 40 and the air valves 90, 96 are controlled directly by a speed-responsive device 98 which also controls the air compressors through a device 132 operating directly on an increase of load, but with a time-lag on a decrease in load. Movement to the right of the final shaft 156 of this device produces, in succession, the opening of the stage byepass 112, the opening of the clutch 28 and the opening of the stage byepass 110. In a modified main heater, the economizer 70 is replaced by an uppermost coil in the heater and beneath it is a perforated ring main to which the turbine exhaust is led. In place of interstage reheaters within the main heater, local reheaters may be provided which are heated by the working fluid before passing to the turbine: Specification 464,475 and U.S.A. Specification 1,652,025 are referred to.

Feed-roller 35 contains a spring to assist rewind and is connected by gearing (not shown) and slipping drive means to take-up spool 34. Capstan 30 and pinch-roller 26 drive the tape past window 12, so that the name of the subscriber called may be written above table 33. Capstan shaft 30, Fig. 5, is driven forwards by belt 39 tensioned by spring 55 and backwards by rocking arm 52 to engage gears 42, 43 (the belt going slack). Fast wind in either direction is controlled by rocker 15, Fig. 4, geared to a centre-maximum rheostat (circuit, Fig. 8, not shown) heavier pressure in either direction reducing the motor series resistance to speed the motor up the motor direction being controlled by switch 72. Slow wind for approach and transducing.- When the desired tape zone is observed to be approaching, rocker 15 is released and relay circuitry initiated by the rocker 15 allows a small slow-forward current to be fed to the motor which feeds the tape until a hole in the tape marking the beginning of the zone allows a finger 76 to rise and stop the motor. Pressure on a START button (Fig. 1, not shown) lowers the button 76, and the tape moves slowly to the next hole in the tape, dialling out the number.
