Title: Improvements in or relating to engine cooling fans
Inventor: ELMER ARTHUR ERNEST HENRY
IPC: F01P7/06
Filed: 1964-01-02
Abstract: 1,055,165. Axial-flow fans; cooling cylinders. DOWTY HYDRAULIC UNITS Ltd. March 25, 1964 [April 11, 1963 (2); Jan. 2, 1964], Nos. 14621/63; 14622/63 and 251/64. Headings F1B and F1C. An engine-driven cooling fan has blades whose pitch is automatically adjusted by centrifugal moments inherent in the blades, against the action of generally radially-directed torsion springs. A belt-driven fan hub 12, Fig. 5, formed by rivetting together two steel pressings 14, 15, has tubular projections on each of which a sheet metal blade 18 is rotatably mounted. The hub parts may be formed by machining and the tubular extensions welded thereto. The blade roots may extend into sockets formed in the hub. Each blade root carries a pin 22 which extends through slots 21 in the associated tubular extension, the slot extremities providing the limits of angular adjustment of the blades. Centrifugal force reduces the pitch of each blade with an increase in speed against the action of a torsion spring, which may be of double-looped form, extending radially alongside or within the blade, Fig. 3 (not shown), and secured to a rivet 26 in the blade and a rivet in the hub. The torsion spring additionally absorbs the radial force exerted on the blade but if this force becomes excessive the pin 22 contacts the sides of its slots 21 and thereby takes up the load. Optional means for adjusting the fine pitch limit comprises a plate 50 provided with a stop 52 for each blade pin 22, the plate 50 being angularly adjustable to a position in which a spring-pressed pin 55 locates one of two or more holes 56, 57. The hole 56 provides a winter setting in which the whole range of blade adjustment is available down to a fine pitch of 17 degrees. The hole 57 provides a summer setting in which the finest pitch is 35 degrees. Alternatively, the pitch limit may be adjusted by cam means. The plate 50 may be arranged to be capable of rotating to a position in which the holes 56, 57 associated with one blade are moved to the vicinity of an adjacent blade and thereby provides settings for the coarse pitch limit thereof. A second plate 50 may be provided for controlling the coarse pitch limit of the blades. In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 4, the blade pitch may be further controlled, particularly at low speeds, by the temperature of the air passing through the fan. Two wax filled thermostats 40 attached to a finned plate 32 receive heat therefrom, and when the air temperature is approximately 10‹ F. higher than the set operating temperature they each extend a plunger 41 which, through a leaf spring 42, causes a plate 36, receiving the blade pins 22 in apertures 38, to be rotated and thereby coarsen the pitch of the blades and increase the speed at which the blades will commence to be adjusted centrifugally.

Abstract: 412,996. Fluid - pressure brakes. BROWN, D. F., CADMAN, N. G., and WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SAXBY SIGNAL CO., Ltd., 82, York Road, King's Cross, London. Jan. 7, 1933, No. 630. [Class 103 (i).] A brake is operated by a cylinder 1, the chambers 3, 4 on each side of the piston being connected to a source of vacuum on pressure at 14 by conduits 5, 6 respectively. To apply the brakes the chamber 3 is closed from vacuum by a valve 15 and opened to atmospheric ports 10, 11, 12 by a piston 9 when the valve and piston are operated by a hand-operated wire 16. The piston operates the valve through a spring 17 and when the difference in pressure between the chambers 3, 4 equals the tension of this spring, the valve 15 is re-opened to reconnect the chambers 3, 4 ; thus a graduated brake application can be obtained. The brake is used on a trailer and a non-return valve 18 maintains vacuum in the chamber 4 if the trailer breaks away from the tractor and air enters the chamber 3 to apply the brakes. A stop 21 is provided so that part of the cylinder forms a reservoir, or a reservoir may be connected to the chamber 4.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Colour Cinematography.
Inventor: PIERRE ULYSSE
IPC: G03B33/08
Filed: 1916-01-15
Abstract: 100,021. Ulysse, P. Aug. 3, 1914, [Convention date]. Void [Published underSect. 91 of the Act]. Kinematograph apparatus. - Separate colour records are obtained with one objective on one or more films or plates by imparting movements to the films or plates or to one or more optical systems such that exposures are made for each record in succession, the exposures being only a fraction of the total necessary and the movements being repeated a number of times so as to give the full exposures. In kinematography these repeated movements are made both in the camera and in the projection apparatus during each interval in the feed of the film, the interval, in the case of projection, between the last projection of each monochrome image and the first projection of the succeeding monochrome image of the same colour being thus considerably less than the corresponding interval when each image is projected once only. Single coloured pictures may also be projected by, or viewed in, an apparatus in which the repeated movements are made. Copies of the pictures may be reproduced by superposing monochromes on a single support by known photographic or photo-mechanical methods, or by printing through colour screens from each record successively or simultaneously on to screen-plates or paper. The images may be arranged in a longitudinal or transverse row or in a triangle on the film &c., and, where the film &c. is moved, the carrier therefor may be operated by two sets of lugs moving the carrier in opposite directions, or by cams. Where an optical system is moved, the system may comprise a pair of mirrors g-h, i-j or a prism with two reflecting faces. Alternatively, several mirrors, such as g-h, each in a different plane and rotating in that plane, may be provided, the mirrors being formed of glass disks having silvered sectors. Each mirror thus reflects the image during a portion of its rotation on to one part of the film with the aid of one or more mirrors i-j. A single mirror rotatable about the optic axis of the objective K, or an axis at rightangles thereto, may reflect the images on to a film in a carrier of cylindrical or polygonal form.

Title: Panel damping material
Inventor: HORI MINOBU
IPC: F16F1/36
Filed: 1986-01-07
Abstract: PURPOSE:To obtain a panel damping material which has excellent damping properties, good workability in applying to a panel to be damped and good adhesion to the panel, and also has excellent sound insulating properties, by incorporating two kinds of inorganic filters having different particle diameters into a resin. CONSTITUTION:A panel damping material obtained by incorporating at least 30pts.wt. inorganic fillers (e.g., calcium carbonate, talc, silica sand, silica, or iron oxide) into 100pts.wt. of one or more resins (e.g., an epoxy resin, a xylene resin, or a PVC). The inorganic fillers shall consist of two kinds of fillers comprising a powdered filler of which at least 90% passes through a 200-mesh sieve and a particulate filler of which 10% or less passes through a 200-mesh sieve, the weight ratio of the former to the latter being 10:90-90:10. As compared with the case in which either a powdered filler or a particulate filler is used alone, the damping properties can be improved, the application to a panel to be damped can be facilitated, even the incorporation of larger quantities of fillers will not impair the conformability to the shape of the panel, and the sound insulating properties can also be improved remarkably.

Filed: 1999-01-04
Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance interest property at variable display time by extracting numeric value information from a numeric value information renewing means, and selecting reach (ready-for-winning state) control to be displayed according to the extracted numeric value information from plural kinds of reach control when decided to display a combination of specific display modes. SOLUTION: When a pachinko ball enters starting winning holes 10a to 10c, pattern displays 3a to 3c of a variable display device 3 variably start, and then, a variable display is stopped. When the display result is prescribed discriminating information, an opening/closing plate 5 of a variable winning ball device 4 is opened to be put in a first state advantageous to a game player. At this time, when put in a special reach (ready-for-winning) state before stopping the variable display, the left/right pattern display parts 3a, 3c continue the variable display, but stops it after being slowly rotated in a state of truing up patterns '7' of the respective pattern display parts 3a, 3c.  Therefore, interest property are improved by enhancing an expectant feeling to materialization of a combination of specific discriminating information in the comparatively early stage of the variable display.
