Title: A one-piece spring snapper for an electric switch
IPC: F16F1/02
Filed: 1952-04-21
Abstract: 708,326. Snap-action switches. LANDIS & GYR AKT.-GES. April 21, 1952 [April 26, 1951], No. 10019/52. Class 38(5) [Also in Group XXXII] An electric switch has a one-piece snap-action spring blade, with two spring parts 15, 16 acting as compression springs and arranged between stiffened parts 8, 9 supported at one end and connected together at the other end by a contact carrying portion, each of the stiffened parts having elastically extensible sections 10, 11, and a third stiffened part 13 serves as an actuating limb. The parts 8 and 9 are stiffened by bending their outer edges and the part 13 is stiffened by a depression 14. The blade is mounted on a U-shaped frame 6 so as to bow and place in compression the parts 15, 16. On depressing an operating member 5, Fig. 1, as soon as the free end of the part 13 is moved below the plane of the parts 8, 9, i.e. through the dead-centre position, the spring parts 15, 16 move the free ends of the parts 8, 9 upwardly to open the contacts 2, 7 with a snap action. The removal of the operating force permits the blade to return to its original position to close the contacts with a snap-action, though in a modification, the application of an operating force in the reverse direction is necessary to restore the spring blade. As the resultant forces in the plane of the parts 8, 9, varies, the shape of the extensible sections 10, 11 varies so that the contact 7 is "wiped" on the contact 2 and on the stop 4, which may serve as a further contact.

[Class 64(iii)] [Also in Group XXVI] Apparatus for the exchange of heat between fluids of the kind in which a rotor driven by power actuated driven means and comprising a pair of headers 5 and 6 joined by tubes 4 through which one of the fluids flows, the rotor being mounted within a casing 1 through which the other fluid flows, is characterized in that the rotor has surfaces upon which one of the fluids impinges as it enters the apparatus, to provide an additional driving force to assist the power-actuated driving means. In one form, Fig. 1, the inlet header 5 of the rotor is equipped internally with a ring of inclined blades or vanes 14 which lie in the path of the internal fluid entering through the connection 15. The internal fluid acts on the blades 14 and thereby tends to revolve the rotor thus assisting the power-actuated means driving the shaft 12 which is connected to the trunnion bearing- 10 of the rotor through a spider 11. The external fluid enters the casing through the necking 7 and after flowing over the tubes, leaves through the outlet 8. In another form. Figs. 2 and 3, the incoming external fluid assists the rotor driving means (not shown) which may be similar to that shown in Fig. 1. One or both of the headers 5, 6 is or are provided with a number of branches 18 leading from the body portion of the header to the adjacent trunnion 9 or 10, the crescent or other conveniently shaped cross-section of the branches (shown in Fig. 3) providing the surfaces upon which the external fluid acts. As shown, the external fluid enters through both ends of the casing at 17 and 27 and flows through the central openings 16 in the headers before leaving the casing at 8. Alternatively, the external fluid may enter at one end only, and, in a further alternative, the external fluid may enter the casing at one end and leave at the other end in contra-flow to the internal fluid, baffles being provided, if necessary, to direct the external fluid to the outer zone of the casing in which the tubes are located. Where the external fluid is constituted by combustion gases, pockets 19 may be provided in the casing to carry off ash or any other foreign matter contained in the gases and which is carried by centrifugal action to the casing wall. The tubes 4 extending between the headers may be straight or helical and their . cross-section may be cylindrical, flattened oval or elliptical or of any other convenient shape and they may be provided externally with fins or gills. In a further form, the external fluid may make two or more passes in series over the tubes, the passes being separated by a diaphragm plate or plates extending diametrically of the casing 1 and carried by the rotor.

Filed: 1974-03-07
Abstract: 1461807 Tube cell BODENSEEWERK PERKIN-ELMER & CO GmbH 7 March 1974 [22 March 1973] 10287/74 Heading H5H To prevent condensation of atomic absorption samples on the cooler ends of the tube cell, the protective gas is introduced at both ends of the graphite heating tube 32 so that it must exit through a cross-bore 34 at the hottest central section. Protective gas is also supplied to the annular chamber 44 surrounding the tube 32 via inlet 60 and outlet 50, 52. Windows 7 at opposite ends of the tube cell prevent oxygen entering the cell and permit a measuring light beam to be shone through the vapour. In Fig. 2 (not shown), a shorter cell without the windows is provided by introducing protective gas to the tube 32 by means of annular channels surrounding the tube ends which diverge towards the tube so that gas flows into the cell and also forms a protective flow away from the cell. The gas emerging from the tube cross-bore emerges finally from an outlet of a surrounding chamber which has no separate protective gas inlet. A suction pump, controllable by an apertured angularly adjustable sleeve 58 is preferably used to produce the desired gas circulation in both embodiments. Alternatively the gas may be introduced under pressure.
