Abstract: 1340994 Anti-theft devices FORD MOTOR CO Ltd 4 May 1972 [25 June 1971] 20823/72 Heading B7J [Also in Division E2] A lockable steering column assembly for an automotive vehicle comprises an outer tube 16 shrouded by a trim element 14 and fixable to the body portion of the vehicle; a shift selector tube 17 within the tube 16 and rotatable relative thereto; a steering shaft 18, having a steering wheel 11 secured thereto, mounted within the tube 17 for rotation relative to the tubes 16, 17; and a sleeve 23 non-rotatably but slidably mounted on the tube 17 whereby when moved in one axial direction relative to the tube 17, the sleeve engages with the outer tube 16 and with a collar 19, non-rotatably but slidably mounted on the shaft 18 to thereby prevent rotation of the shaft and shift selector tube relative to the outer tube and when the sleeve is moved in the other axial direction, rotation of the shift selector tube and the shaft relative to the outer tube is permitted. Axial movement of the sleeve is effected by the ignition key 33 rotating a rotatable portion 36 of a lock cylinder 34, the portion 36 having mounted thereon a gear pinion 37 engaging a rack 38 connected by a finger 39 with an annular groove 41 on the sleeve 23. The rack 38 is also connected by an arm 48 to operate an electrical switch 47 for closing the starter motor circuit of the vehicle engine. Inward radial studs 24 on the sleeve 23 slide in slots 26 in the shift selector tube 17 and fingers 28 on the sleeve are engageable in notches 29 in an apertured disc 31 secured to tabs 32 on the outer tube 16. When the fingers 28 are engaged in the notches 29 the studs 24 are engageable in notches 27 in the collar 27 which has a slot 20 engaging a pin 21 fixed to the steering shaft 18. A compression spring 22 around the shaft urges the collar 19 against the pin 21. The sleeve end face 46 remote from the fingers 28 has notches 43 and 44. One of the notches slidably receives a tab 42 on the fixed outer tube 16 when the shift selector lever (not shown) is in " Park " or " Neutral " position in which position the switch 47 can be operated. When the lever is in any other position the sleeve face 46 abuts the tab 42 and switch cannot be operated. If the studs are not aligned with the notches 27 during movement of the sleeve to the locking position, the collar 19 will be depressed against the spring 22 by the action of the slot 20 and pin 21 and when the wheel 11 is turned the collar will snap back to engage the notches 27 with the studs 24 so that the shaft 8 tubes 16, 17 and the sleeve 23 are all locked together.

Title: Working up the reaction mixture formed by the oxidation of aliphatic and cycloaliphatic compounds with nitric acid to form dicarboxylic acids
Filed: 1952-09-02
Abstract: The residual reaction mixtures obtained by the oxidation of lactams, o  : o 1-aliphatic diols and cycloaliphatic alcohols, ketones and amines by means of nitric acid to give dicarboxylic acids and removal of the main product by cooling and crystallization are worked up by evaporation to dryness at reduced pressure, heating at 100-200 DEG C. to drive off nitrogen oxides and distilling or re-crystallizing the resulting mass.  Preferably before heating to dryness and after partial evaporation, the precipitated by-products-short-chain dicarboxylic acids-are removed.  In an example, cyclohexanol is oxidized with nitric acid, the bulk of the resulting adipic acid removed, and the mother liquor evaporated at reduced pressure to give a mixture of oxalic and succinic acids which is washed with fresh mother liquid.  The latter is then evaporated to dryness and heated to 170 DEG  C.  Glutaric acid is obtained by distillation.  Mixtures of dicarboxylic acids are similarly obtained as by-products in other examples from residual mother liquors obtained in the oxidation of hexanediol, cyclohexylamine, cyclohexanone and caprolactam.

Title: Improvements relating to coupling devices for pipes or conduits
Inventor: WILLIAMS PETER GILLINGHAM
IPC: F16L37/113
Filed: 1963-06-05
Abstract: 1,009,276. Pipe couplings. BRITISH PETROLEUM CO. Ltd. April 28, 1964 [June 5, 1963], No. 22314/63. Heading F2G. A coupling device for pipes or conduits comprises first and second coupling parts provided respectively with first and second valve members, the parts when brought together in use, being adapted to provide a small fluid connection between them, the fluid connection being provided by means of a passage which allows the fluid to flow from the first coupling part into the second coupling part, interengagement of the two coupling parts causing the second valve member 14 to be moved from the closed to the open position thereof the energy therefor being provided by the pressure of the fluid in the first coupling part, the movement of the valve member 14 moving the first valve member from the closed to the open position thereof by direct contact. As shown, interengagement of the coupling parts causes an auxiliary valve 15 and a complementary auxiliary valve on a complementary coupling part to open and fluid flows through a passage 16 in the valve stem 17 to the side 18a of a chamber 18 and then through a passage 22 to the side 18b of the chamber so that the pressures on each side of a piston 20 on the valve stem are substantially equal and the piston is not actuated. Rotation of a knob 26 actuates a device 27 which locks the coupling members together and causes a cam 28 to release the valve stem 17 and to move a spool valve 23 which closes the passage 22 so that fluid flows under pressure and via the passage 16 in to the side 18a of the chamber 18 whereby the piston 20 is moved to open the valve 14. As the valve 14 opens fluid flows to the output end 12 of the coupling part and causes an increase of pressure on a diaphragm 30 which allows, through a spool valve 29, a fluid connection between the side 18a of the chamber 18 and the outlet end 12 via the passages 35, 36. A build-up of pressure above a predetermined maximum causes further movement of the valve 29 to interconnect the two sides 18a, 18b of the chamber 18 via the passages 34, 35 in which condition the fluid pressure on the valve 14 and the pressure of the spring 21 causes the valve to tend to close until the pressure at the outlet end 12 falls to the required value and the valve 29 returns to an intermediate position thereof. During uncoupling the knob 26 is returned to the initial position thereof so that the passage 22 is opened and the valve 14 is closed due to the fluid pressure on the complementary valve and the pressure exerted by the spring.
