Title: Improvements relating to motor road vehicle tubular steering column direction indicator control systems
IPC: B60Q1/42
Filed: 1956-08-23
Abstract: 802,215. Road-traffic signals on vehicles. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. Aug. 23, 1956 [Sept. 14, 1955], No. 25772/56. Class 118 (2). Inorder to render the electric switch of an automatically-restored vehicle direction indicator system readily accessible for repair and to avoid wiring extending down the length of the steering column, a vehicle tubular steering column has at its upper end a housing within which is a direction indicator control device, and towards its lower end remote from the housing a direction indicator electric switch, and a mechanical connection is provided within the steering column between the device and the switch for coincident operation of the device and the switch. A switch 20, which may be as described in Specification 720,898, is secured to a bracket 18 mounted adjacent a slot-like opening 16 near the lower end of the column 6 enclosing steering shaft 4. A rod 36 extends within the column 6 between the switch 20 and a control device 12 housed just below the steering wheel 2. The device 12 may be as described in Specification 769,857, and is manually operated by a handle 14 and restored automatically by the straightening movement of the steering wheel after the turn has been made. The rod 36 is cranked at its upper end and engages a slot in a ring member 50 such that operation of the device 12 causes rotation of the rod, 36. At the lower end of rod 36 a wire crank-arm 52 frictionally engages the rod and is looped around the operating pin 22 of the switch 20 such that it is arcuately displaced to a position corresponding to that of device 12. The switch 20 has a base 26 from which project six male terminal prongs 28 for connection with six female sleeves 30 in a plug terminating the cable 34. In a modification (Figs. 4-6, not shown), the switch has an operating pin whose movement is linear and parallel to the axis of the steering column and it is coupled to the device 12 by a Bowden cable which is coiled in a curved path adjacent the ring 50, its inner wire being secured to a lug thereon such that rotation of device 12 results in longitudinal movement of the Bowden wire and hence linear operation of the switch.

Title: Improved method of and means for discharging bitumen, tar or like material from a container
Inventor: COATES GEORGE LEOPOLD ALBERTS
IPC: C10C3/12
Filed: 1949-10-17
Abstract: 688,541. Emptying and cleansing drums and containers. MINISTER OF SUPPLY. Jan. 16, 1951 [Oct. 17, 1949], No. 26649/49. Class 21 Bitumen, tar, &c. is discharged from a drum or other container by heating it by means of an auxiliary hot material passed into and out of the container, the auxiliary material being preferably of the same kind as that which it serves to heat, and decanting the heated contents downwardly through an outlet of the container. As shown in Fig. 1 the upper part of a normally sealed drum I containing bitumen has a fitting 2 screwed into the top 3. The fitting 2 has an inlet branch 4, with a downwardly projecting tube 6, formed with holes 7, 8, and an outlet branch 5. Heating of the normally cold bitumen in the drum 1 is effected by supplying hot bitumen through a pipe 9, a control valve 10, and a flexible hose connecting the valve delivery pipe 11 and the branch 4 of the fitting 2 so as to pass along the path A. Bitumen flows out through the branch 5 along the path B, a flexible hose being connected to the branch 5 and leading to the main bitumen heater tank. Quick-grip devices 12, 13 are provided for connecting the hose. The valve 10 controls also a supply of compressed air entering by a pipe C. When the bitumen in the drum has been sufficiently heated to enable it to flow, the drum is tilted to bring the outlet 5 to the bottom and the bitumen flows out either by gravity or assisted by compressed air. A number of similar drums may be arranged for decanting simultaneously or selectively into a common bitumen heater or reservoir. Fig. 3 shows a wheeled unit having a framework 20 which supports two rows of bitumen drums 21, 22, each of which is initially installed in an upright position but may be tilted into the discharging position shown by means of pulley blocks 25a, 25b mounted on gantry rails 26a, 26b. When ir the tilted position each drum has its normal filling orifice presented so as to accommodate a projecting end of a nozzle 28a, 28b in communication with a control valve 29a, 29b supplied with hot bitumen under pressure. Each valve may be held in the open position by a rod 30 fitted with a handle 32 formed to engage the normal underside of the drum. The cold bitumen in the drums is thus heated and decanted down chutes 35a, 35b into a gully 36. The unit has a towing link by which it is coupled to a wheeled main bitumen heater from which the supply of hot bitumen is derived. High and low pressure pumps driven by a motor supply hot bitumen to the drums and deliver the return flow of decanted bitumen from the gully 36 to the main heater. The gully 36 may be heated by an oil burner beneath it. Creosote may be periodically pumped through the supply pipes for cleansing.

Abstract: 962,460. Fluid-pressure servomotor control systems. GARRETT CORPORATION. Aug. 2, 1960 [Aug. 3, 1959], No. 26809/60. Heading G3P. [Also in Division F2] At least two valves 14, 20 are provided to control the flow of air from a chamber 10, fed by a pump 11, such that the flow through the valves are maintained in a predetermined porportion. Each valve comprises a closure member 27 which is clamped to a diaphragm 32 forming chambers 35, 36 which receive a preselected pressure through conduits 84. The preselected pressure is provided by a controller 66 providing a preselected pressure loading on diaphragm 59 of valves 54, 55. The diaphragm 59 actuate valves 80 which control the leak of fluid from chambers 61, fed from the chamber 10 through ports 77, to provide the preselected pressure in the conduits 84. The flow through the valves 14, 20 are measured by venturis 124, 127 which provide a proportion pressure in conduits 123, 126 lending to a differential pressure controller 110. This controller comprises a housing divided into three chambers 111, 112, 113 by diaphragms 115, 119 connected to a member 147. The chamber 112 is connected to the chamber 10 while the chambers 111,113 receive the flow responsive pressures from conduits 123, 126. Variations in the flow proportion through the valves 14,20 actuate the diaphragms 115, 119 to control valves 133,141 which control the leak - age from the chambers 36, 35 through conduits 134,142 thus adjusting the valves 14, 20 in the opposite sense to maintain the predetermined proportion. This proportion is set by the adjustment of a spring loading 137. In a modification only one control valve, such as 133, is provided and the flow responsive pressures not on either side of a diaphragm to actuate this valve which controls the pressure in one of the chambers, such as 36. Thus the valve 20 only is adjusted to maintain the predetermined flow proportion.
