Title: Fluid-cooled copying apparatus
Inventor: KLOVEN GERALD PATRICK
IPC: G03B27/26
Filed: 1969-02-26
Abstract: 1,261,216. Contact printing apparatus. MINNESOTA MINING & MFG. CO. Feb. 26, 1969, No. 10297/69. Heading G2A. Radiation from a source 20 passes through a chamber 30 bounded by transparent sides 76, 78, through which a cooling fluid circulates, and in which is mounted a shutter 22 which is moved from a "closed" to an "open" position by the flow of the fluid, and in the reverse direction by reversing the flow of the fluid. The embodiment shown is a photographic contact-printing apparatus, built within a general housing 10. The radiation source is a high-intensity lamp 20, light from which passes through an opening in the main frame 64 to the exposure station. This is formed by a plate 76 of heat-absorbing glass having a quartz platen on its outer face. The original and copy sheets are placed, in contact, against the quartz platen when an exposure is to be made. Behind plate 76 is a narrow chamber 30, bounded on the inner side by a further quartz platen 78. Within chamber 30 is a thin aluminium shutter 22 which can slide vertically from the position shown in Fig. 2, in which it intercepts the light path, to a lower position in it is clear of the light path. The cooling fluid, which may be a liquid fluorocarbon having a boiling point of about 180‹ C., is pumped in at the lower end of the housing, through a spool valve 42. It circulates through conduits formed in the frame 64, passing through chamber 30, and then out again through the spool valve, where it is discharged through a heat exchanger into a reservoir for re-circulation. In the position of Fig. 2, the liquid is passing through chamber 30 in an upwards direction, so that the light-weight shutter 22 is maintained in the "shutter closed" position shown. When a solenoid 40 is energised, the valve 42 is actuated so that the liquid is caused to circulate through a different combination of conduits, which now result in its flowing downwards, through chamber 30. This moves the shutter 22 downwards and out of the light path, so allowing an exposure to take place. On de-energizing the solenoid, the spring-loaded valve returns to its original position, so that the shutter is closed once more. A separate circulation of cooling air for the lamp passes from a blower 46 to an exit opening 48. The lamp is normally maintained at a lowintensity state, until the valve 40 is actuated to open the shutter, the controlling circuit at the same time switching the lamp to its high-intensity or operative state.

Abstract: 768,502. Valves; lubricating. SULZER FRERES SOC. ANON. April 7, 1955 [April 12, 1954], No. 10321/55. Classes 7 (2) and 7 (6). [Also in Group XXVI] The stem 1 of an internal combustion engine valve, particularly an exhaust valve, is sealed and cooled by pressurized air supplied to an annular channel 17 surrounding the stem and flowing between the stem and its guide 5 in a direction away from the valve head 2 to a constricted outlet 13. A member 9 is provided with air and lubricant passages 10 and 11 respectively and a fitting 12 having the constricted outlet 13 which may be adjustable. Air passes from the passage 10 through a helical groove 14 in the guide 5 to an annular groove 15 connected by holes 16 with the annular channel 17 from where the air flows upwards through helical grooves 18 in the stem to a second helical groove 20 in the guide and then through a passage 21 in the member 9 to the outlet 13. Lubricant is supplied to the stem through the inlet passage 13 and a bore 22 and any passing down the stem as far as the grooves 18 is carried with the air to the outlet 13 and collected. A valve is fitted in the lubricant feed line to ensure that lubricant is supplied only when the air pressure exceeds a predetermined amount. The helical grooves 18 may be formed in the interior surface of the guide bush 5 instead of in the stem. In a modification in which the valve seating is a separate insertion fitted in the cylinder head, the air is supplied to and returned from the grooves in the stem through passages in the insertion which has a hollow chamber that surrounds and contains cooling medium for the valve guide.

Abstract: 175,920. Alexander, A. E., (Mechano Gear Shift Co.). April 12, 1921. Controlling variablespeed gearing.-Change of gear is effected bv bars 23, Figs. 1 and 3, reciprocated in opposite directions by a main clutch lever 5, Fig. 2, of a motorvehicle, selection being made by independent means operating selectively to release spring dogs 34, Fig. 5, adapted to lock striking-forks 31, Fig. 4, to the bars 23. The bars 23 are connected by racks and a pinion 29, Fig. 3, and the end 24 of one bar is jointed to a lever 25, Fig. 1, connected by a link 27 and lost-motion joint 27<a>, Fig. 2, to the lever 5, so that the main clutch is disengaged before the bars slide. Each of the forks 31 is secured to a pair of sleeves 33, Fig. 6, which slide loosely upon the bars 23, each pair being coupled by a tube 32 containing a pair of dogs 34 thrust apart by a spring. Notches 30,. Fig. 3, are provided, two in each of the bars 23, to be engaged by the dogs 34 when released. The bars 23 when actuated by the lever 5 first bring the gearing to neutral. Continued disengaging pedal movement then brings a selected new gear combination into engagement. The dogs 34 have pins 35, Fig. 9, projecting from the tubes 32, which in the neutral position shown, are all four engaged by catches 44, which hold the dogs out of action. To bring a new speed into effect, the catch 44 corresponding is raised out of the way,. and the pedal 5 is thrust right down. Release of the pedal merely re-engages the clutch. This selective raising of the catches 44 is effected by turning a cam-shaft 49, Fig. 6, the catches having a vertical sliding movement against spring pressure. This shaft 49 is connected by rods 52, 53, Figs. 1 and 2, to a lever 56 wording over a quadrant 57 under the steering-wheel 8. Locking in gear position is effected by spring-pressed balls 42, Fig. 6, engaging recesses 43, Fig. 9.
