Abstract: 916,731. Change-speed control. BROWN INDUSTRIES Ltd., DAVID. Feb. 2, 1961 [Feb. 16, 1960], No. 5388/60. Class 80 (2). A vehicle transmission comprises fluid-pressure-operated forward and reverse drive clutches controlled by an inlet valve 13 operated by an engine driven pump 10 and an exhaust valve 21 operated by an output-driven pump 16, so that engagement of either clutch subsequent to disengagement of the other is prevented until the output shaft is stationary. Valve 21 is shown in the neutral position, and when the engine is running pump 10 moves the inlet valve 13 to the left against a spring 14 to supply oil to a duct 15 leading to the main control member by which it is diverted to either of passages 24, 25 in communication with the forward and reverse clutch actuators, respectively. With the vehicle moving forward pump 16 delivers to the sump pipe 18, a non-return valve 20 being closed so that pressure builds up to move valve 21 to the right and uncover the exhaust port 26 of the reverse clutch. To reverse, the main control is moved to the position to exhaust the forward clutch and as the vehicle comes to rest pump 16 ceases to operate so that valve 21 is centralized, cutting off both forward and reverse exhaust ports 26, 27 so that the reverse clutch is engaged. As pump 16 reverses oil is delivered to sump pipe 17 with pressure build-up to move valve 21 to the left and uncover the forward exhaust port 27. If the engine is not running valve 13 is in the position shown for a towing or rolling start. The pump 16 may be replaced by an electric generator energizing either of two coils operating valve 21 according to the direction of rotation.

Title: A detector device for use in a sheet feeding apparatus of a printing or similar machine
IPC: H01H35/00
Filed: 1957-02-21
Abstract: 825,163. Feeding sheets; feeding webs. HARRIS - INTERTYPE CORPORATION, [formerly HARRIS-SEYBOLD CO.]. Feb. 21, 1957 [March 1, 1956], No. 5872/57. Class 100(1) An electric detector device for detecting the faulty feed of non-conductive sheets or webs in a printing or like machine comprises two conductive members which engage each other when a faulty feed occurs, a circuit then being completed to cause tripping of the machine, current limiting means being connected in series with one of the conductive members. The sheets 10 are fed to the cylinder 11 of a printing press by tapes 14 to feed table 13 and registered against oscillating front stops 15. At the same time an oscillating conductive spring finger 21 on an oscillating shaft 22 is lowered on to the sheet. The table 13 is also electrically conductive and is connected to the positive side of a D.C. power supply. The finger 21 is connected to the grid 29 of a thermionic valve 25 and to one side of a current limiting resistance 24 of a value sufficient to ensure that no appreciable shock will occur should an operator touch the finger 21 and table 13. The other side of the resistance 24 is connected to the negative side of the power supply. The anode of the valve is connected to positive side of the supply and the cathode is connected to the negative side of the supply through the coil 26 of a relay 27 Normally insufficient current flows through the valve 25 to operate the relay 27, but in the absence of a sheet, the grid 29 of the valve is driven positive when the finger 21 makes contact with the table 13 and sufficient current flows to operate the relay 27. This completes a circuit to a solenoid 28 thus causing reciprocation of a link 32 connected to the tripping mechanism of the press to stop the machine. The relay coil 26 acts as a stabilizer in the event of supply voltage variations, a drop in the supply voltage causing the grid 29-to become less negative with respect to the cathode. An A.C. supply may be used, in which case two valves may be employed so that current flows in the circuit during the full wave. Instead of one finger 21, two may be employed, connected in parallel, one at each side of the table 13, so that the machine may be stopped in the event of an improperly registered sheet being detected. The apparatus may also be used to detect a breakage during the feeding of a web of non-conductive material.
