IPC: H01C10/48
Filed: 1930-09-20
Abstract: 358,252. Regulating switches. McCLATCHIE, S., 21, Osnabr³ckerstrasse, Wilmersdorf, Berlin. Sept. 20, 1930, No. 28160. [Class 38 (v).] A wire wound rheostat, potentiometer, variable inductance or the like, particularly suitable for the volume control of gramophone pick-ups, comprises a spool formed of perforated insulating discs b stacked on a central bush a and secured by a nut a<1> and having two end discs c of larger diameter at the ends of the stack, said end discs having notched or slotted peripheries, adjacent notches serving as outlet and inlet for wire forming the winding f on the spool at the points where it is connected to tags g on contact studs d which make contact with a rotating arm h. The contact studs d pass through the stacked plates and are connected to the wire issuing from one notch e and re-entering the coil through an adjacent notch, by tags g over which the wire is passed in its passage between adjacent slots e. The enamelled wire passing over the tags g may be scraped to remove the enamel by rotating the spool on the winding machine and operating on it with a scraper, and the contact wires may be soldered to the tags individually or by dipping the device in a bath of molten solder. The soldering tags g<1>, g<2> at the extremities of the winding are larger than the others to facilitate connection to the external circuit. An additional contact stud j higher than the others is connected to a metal strip k which connects the external circuit with the bush a and movable arm h through the actuating spindle i. The stud j only serves as a limiting stop for the rotation of the arm h. In a modification, Figs. 6 and 7, suitable for insertion in the leads of a gramophone pick-up as distinct from the panel type shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the bush a is dispensed with, the studs d being riveted to hold the discs b, c together and the rheostat being enclosed in a two-part casing l having two semicylindrical bores at each end carrying metal socket tubes o at one end m and pin connections p at the other end n. One socket o is connected to the first stud of the winding by a metal strip q<1> and also to a pin p by a strip q and the other socket o is connected by a strip r to the last stud of the winding, a connection being taken by a strip s from the spindle i of the movable arm to the other pin connection p.

IPC: F02M59/46
Filed: 1950-11-17
Abstract: 744,293. Fuel-injection pumps. BRITISH INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE RESEARCH ASSOCIATION. Nov. 12, 1951 [Nov. 17, 1950; Feb. 16, 1951], Nos. 28192/50 and 3793/51. Class 102(1). In a fuel-injection pump in which the delivery is controlled by opening spill passages, drip at the injection nozzle is prevented by forming the delivery valve with an unloading portion e and a head d that co-operates with a portion of the casing to form a dash pot to delay the closing of the valve. Fig. 1 shows a clearance h between the head d and the casing to determine the speed of closing. Alternatively this clearance may be reduced or eliminated and the valve provided with throttle passages connecting either with the delivery pipe or the pump chamber. A non-return valve may be fitted in these passages to reduce or eliminate the effect of the damping during opening of the valve. The character of the damping may be affected by tapering the head d, portion c or casing part in which the head d moves. In a further construction, the dashpot space may be connected by passages in the casing to open into the pump chamber at a point controlled by the piston which is provided with the normal control surfaces.

Title: Device for preventing the operation of differential relays when electrical inductiveapparatus is switched in
IPC: H02H7/045
Filed: 1945-10-29
Abstract: 607,613. Protective cut-out systems. AKT.- GES. BROWN, BOVERI, & CIE. Oct. 29, 1945, No. 28628. Convention date, Oct. 28, 1944. [Class 38 (v)] A device for preventing the undesired operation of differential relays, when a transformer is switched-in, has a mechanical vibration system responsive to magnetizing currents to render the relays inoperative. The coil b is energized by the difference-current between the two sides of the transformer, this current being substantially zero, and on switching-in, the magnetizing-current impulse energizes the coil b and contacts c, d close. Owing, however, to the fact that the torque causing contact c to move has the same frequency as that of the network, the spring f, which carries contact d and whose natural frequency coincides with the network frequency, vibrates, thereby preventing energization of the coil e of a timedelayed relay and closure of contacts g in the trip circuit h. The contact c may alternatively be spring-mounted. The spring f is preferably only coarsely tuned so that it responds to a frequency band whose width may be adjusted by a damping device. An intermediate relay may be used to render the differential relays inoperative.
