Title: Improvements relating to brakes for trailer vehicles
IPC: F16D65/14
Filed: 1951-04-21
Abstract: 703,176. Trailer-vehicle brakes. BATE, B. DIXON-. April 21, 1952 [April 21, 1951], No. 9344/51. Class 103(1) A brake system for a trailer vehicle comprises brake units each including a brake band, or a series of substantially rigid and articulated shoe sections, having located between its ends a cam adapted to be displaced by an electromagnetic device and a fixed abutment serving as an abutment for either end of the band when the other end is displaced by the cam, and a second cam also located between the ends of the band and adapted to be turned by mechanical means to expand the ends of the band. In Fig. 2, which is a section at 2, 2 of Fig. 1, an armature 5 rotates with the brake drum 1 and an electromagnet 6 is normally in light rubbing contact with it. When energized, the magnet moves towards the armature and tends to be carried round thereby, its movement being transmitted by a link 15 to a lever 16, being pivoted at 17, thereby displacing a cam 18 and effecting opening of one of the brake band ends 19, 20 whilst the other is in fixed abutment with a block 22 fixed to the stationary back plate 4. Spring 28 returns the brake band and the magnet to their original positions when the magnet is de-energized. The braking torque may be varied by controlling the current to the electromagnet by means of a rheostat and a resistance, adjustable for different load conditions, which is provided to prevent excessive braking with light loads. A mechanically operated cam 27 is connected by cable to the hand brake lever so that the brake may be operated either mechanically or electrically; simultaneous use of both systems in no way interferring with the full operation of the brake. Two or more rigid shoe sections linked together may be substituted for the single flexible band described.

Abstract: 493,374. Control systems for consumption apparatus ; valve relays. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., KNIGHT, H. DE B., and HIGGINS, B. G. April 6, 1937, No. 9804. [Class 38 (iv)] [Also in Group XL] Current from an A.C. supply 1 to a load 2 is controlled by a pair of reversely con nected valves 10, 20 a relay 70 being pro vided so that when the valve 10 has conducted an overriding negative bias is applied to its grid and is not removed until the valve 20 conducts current. This prevents pulsating D.C. from being supplied in the event of the valve 20 breaking down. The relay 70 has two positions, engaging the contact 72 to connect the control circuit 14 to the grid 13, and engaging the contact 73 to connect the negative biassing potential from a battery 76 to the grid 13, operation of the relay being effected by current flow in the main circuit, the relay winding 74 being connected across an impedance 75 in series therein. Alternatively it may be supplied through a current transformer or connected in series with an inductance across the load circuit. Where the control of the valve 20 is dependent on the operation of the valve 10, one relay as shown is sufficient. Where however both valves are controlled from an external source a control relay is needed for each. In a modification, in which the valves 10, 20 are of the immersion igniter type controlled through auxiliary valves, the control relay 70 operates in the grid circuit of one of the auxiliary valves either directly on the control grid or on a screen grid. The Specification states that in welding operations this arrangement ensures that the valve conducting at the close of a welding operation will not conduct first at the commencement of the next operation.
