Title: Improvements in or relating to arrangements for detecting icing conditions
Inventor: LOVEGROVE HENRY JOSEPH
IPC: G08B19/02
Filed: 1964-05-05
Abstract: 1,109,691. Detecting icing conditions. SANGAMO WESTON Ltd. May 4, 1965 [May 5, 1964], No.18665/64. Heading G1X. An arrangement for detecting conditions in which ice is liable to be formed on surfaces e.g. roadways comprises a conical flexible moisture absorbent element 10, which is periodically subjected to a displacing force, means also being provided for detecting whether the element is sufficiently stiffened to resist the displacing force. The periphery of the element 10, which is preferably of a woven fabric, is secured to a plate 11, while its apex is connected to the upper end of a cylindrical weight rod 16 by means of a cap 17. A nose 22 at the lower end of the rod 16 bears on a cam disc 23 rotated by a motor 27. A depression 24 is formed in the disc 23 which periodically e.g. every 5 or 6 minutes, allows the weight rod 16 to fall by a predetermined amount. If the element 10 has absorbed sufficient moisture and is sufficiently frozen, the weight rod 16 will not fall but will remain in the position shown in Fig. 1. The rod 16 carries a stirrup member 30, having side limbs 29, one on each side of the rod 16, and mounted on pins 28, the limbs being connected by a junction limb 31. Each limb 29 has an extension as 33, for engagement with a corresponding abutment on a rocker plate 42 pivoted on a pin 43. As the nose 22 passes the depression 24, a radially extending cam surface on the disc 23 engages a bell crank lever (not shown) to engage the limb 31 and push the member 30 to the left as viewed in Fig. 1. The abutments on the rocker plate 42 are at different heights and arranged to be actuated by this movement by one or the other of the extensions on the limbs 29 depending on whether the rod 16 has fallen or not. If the element 10 is frozen and the rod does not fall, then the plate 42 is moved to actuate and hold actuated a micro-switch (not shown). If the rod does fall, then the plate 42 is moved to disengage the switch. The detector may be provided with a suitable screen, as 49, if desired. In another embodiment, the element 10 is displaced by cam actuation of a lever, whose fulcrum point is changed if the element is frozen, thus causing switch contacts to be actuated. In a further alternative arrangement the element 10 is a strip of material pivotally suspended at its upper end and periodically subjected to a deflecting force mid-way along its length. If the element is frozen its lower end operates switch contacts to actuate a relay, and means are provided to hold the relay actuated until the next deflection of the element.

Abstract: 130,015. White & Co., J. S., Harper, J. W., and Mellor, G. A. Dec. 18, 1917. Regulating; valves.-In a two-stroke-engine, the admission of air for scavenging and charging through ports A in the cylinder wall is controlled by a cylindrical valve D rotating within a ported sleeve C, which is adjustable about its axis for reversing or varying the timing of the air admission. Corresponding adjustment is simultaneously effected in the gear which actuates the fuel valves. In the form shown, the port C<1> in the sleeve C is smaller than the corresponding port in the casing A<3>, and the sleeve is turned by means of an arm C<3> formed or mounted on one end of the sleeve. Within and rotating with the valve D is a cam shaft E. The fuel valve is actuated by a single cam J on the shaft E and a lever G pivoted on a stud F on the arm C', so that the lever G is moved circumferentially with respect to the cam when the arm C<3> is moved to adjust the sleeve C. In multicylinder engines, a single cam shaft E is provided, which may carry pairs of valves as shown in Fig 2, each controlling the inlets A<3> of two adjacent cylinders and having a reduced portion D<2> and air inlets D'. The sleeves C are simultaneously adjusted, each arm C<3> being actuated by means of a forked rod X, X<1> connected by a lever to a common shaft turned by means of a hand-wheel. In a modification, each cylinder has one valve D, the valves of adjacent cylinders being connected by a pin, which passes through the arms C' on two adjacent sleeves C, serving in place of the fulcrum pin F and also connecting the sleeves for simultaneous adjustment.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the decarburization of silicon containing ferrous sheet or strip
Inventor: SINCLAIR HAROLD BRADFORD
IPC: C21D3/04
Filed: 1949-07-19
Abstract: Silicon-containing ferrous metal strip is decarburized by coating the strip with a substance through which carbon diffuses more easily than does silicon prior to the decarburizing treatment.  The strip may be coated with pure iron electrolytically, the thickness of coating depending on the thickness of the strip.  In an example a strip 0.035 inch thick was given an iron layer 0.25 X 10-3 inches thick and decarburized for 16 minutes, resulting in a reduction of carbon from 0.066 per cent to 0.004 per cent.  The coated strip was then made homogeneous by a high temperature treatment.

Abstract: 219,489. Irving, R. A. July 24, 1923. Fastenings for sliding windows; latches, sliding; striking-plates. - A sash fastener, adapted to serve as means for raising or lowering the upper sash by movement of the lower sash, comprises a spring-pressed bolt a in a casing e on the lower sash b capable of being fixed in an intermediate position and a socket c near the top of the upper sash having an inclined track and leading to its lower edge, which is of less depth than its upper edge t. The socket c may be attached to the centre bar of the window and, if the sash is provided with a horizontal cross-bar, a bridge-piece having a double inclined flanged track is mounted thereon to guide the end of the bolt a over the bar. Projections g, h on the bolt a, which normally slide in a slot k in the plug j, can, on rotation of the bolt, be caused to bear against the face of the plug j to secure the bolt in the full retracted or intermediate positions respectively. On raising the lower sash with the bolt a in its intermediate position, the bolt clears the lower edge of the socket c and engages the upper edge t to raise the upper sash, if open. If the lower sash is raised with the bolt a fully shot, the bolt runs up the incline r and shoots into the socket, c, when, on lowering the lower sash, the bolt a engages the lower edge of the socket and lowers the upper sash. A lateral finger-piece u may be provided on the socket c so that the upper sash can be raised or lowered independently of the lower sash and the socket c may be formed as a double socket, with inclines r at top and bottom each leading to a separate socket, so that the socket can be applied to either the right or left hand side bar d of the upper sash. A socket w may be provided on the upper sash for securing the sashes in the closed position, and this socket is preferably provided with an inclined track x leading to a socket y which allows the sashes to be secured in a partially open position.
