Patent GB-2142471-A (GB)
Title: Electric switches
Inventor: BEER BRIAN
IPC: H01H3/00
Filed: 1983-06-28
Abstract: An electric switch comprises a housing 1 containing a switch mechanism 7,8,9,10 for actuating at least one pair of contacts 4,5, which are normally closed, by means of an actuating plunger 11 having a part projecting from the housing and a part in engagement with a portion 10b of the switch actuating mechanism.

Title: Inspecting crimp bonded terminals
Inventor: KODAMA HIROAKI
IPC: G01B11/24
Filed: 1983-10-20
Abstract: Contour images (zones A to F) of crimp bonded terminals are picked up and processing operations are performed on the image data to make a decision automatically on the acceptance or rejection. The wire to which the terminal is crimped is visible in zone F and its sheathing should extend through a sheathing crimp in zone E to the central part of zone D. The bored conductor should extend into zone A through a conductor crimp in zone B. The image is rotated electronically so that the base line 10H is parallel with the image display scanning direction. The transitions from black to white in a series of vertical and horizontal directions are used to identify the position of the corner 14V relative to the line 10H, and the contour to the left of this corner is inspected in a similar manner to determine whether the wire is incorrectly positioned (b and c) or has stray strands (d). <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2144478-A (GB)
Title: Building repair system
Inventor: HARDY BRIAN PHILIP
IPC: E04G23/02
Filed: 1983-11-09
Abstract: A system is proposed for repairing an Airey house in which the vertical support columns are defective. The system comprises building a blockwork wall (19) between the adjacent columns (3) and providing ties (21) in the form of shear connectors between the adjacent sections of blockwork on opposite sides of the columns. The connectors may be either a pin (21) passing through a hole drilled in the column and mating with adjacent blockwork or a fabricated bracket which fits around the column and locates in the blockwork. In either case vertical shear loads are transmitted between adjacent sections of blockwork. The system further proposes brackets for transferring the floor and roof loads carried by the joists to be transferred to the blockwork-thus, rendering the vertical columns redundant. The system further contemplates an external cladding which provides improved insulation and an attractive external appearance. <IMAGE>

Title: Petrol engine vaporised fuel system
Inventor: DIDLICK ALAN EDWARD
IPC: F02M31/18
Filed: 1984-02-29
Abstract: Petrol supplied by a pump (17, Fig. 1) is switched from a conventional carburettor (14) to a pipe 33 in a vaporiser 20 when the engine reaches its operating temperature. Petrol sprayed from the nozzle 34 is vaporised by heat from coils 30A, 30B containing engine exhaust gas or coolant or by an electric heating element. Unvaporised petrol is collected in a sump 29 containing a float valve 39 returning excess fuel to the supply tank. Air from a pipe 42 enters below the sump fuel level 40 and provides between 5 and 20% of the content of the vapour in the outlet pipe 21. A valve (22, Fig. 1) linked to the carburettor throttle valve 15 controls the flow of vapour to the engine intake downstream of the throttle valve. <IMAGE>
