Title: Motor vehicle occupant knee restraint arrangement
IPC: B60R21/045
Filed: 1973-07-12
Abstract: 1376580 Protective guards GENERAL MOTORS CORP 12 July 1973 [28 July 1972] 33187/73 Heading B7B In a driver knee restraint arrangement for a vehicle having knee deformable side portions 70, Fig. 7, located to each side of the steering column and interconnected by a centre portion 72 partially surrounding the column, the centre portion is rigidly supported to prevent deformation thereof into the column assembly. As shown in Fig. 7 the metal base panel 82 of left hand side portion 70 has its upper and lower edges rigidly anchored to fixed body structure through tie bars 90, 94 and lower tie bar 108 so that engagement by the driver's knee will result in deformation of the panel 82. The right hand side portion 70 is anchored in a similar manner whereby the right hand ends of tie bars 90, 108 may either be secured to additional tie bars carried through a knee panel for a front seated passenger, or may be secured to the forward firewall (18), Fig. 6 (not shown), by a bracket 138. Tie bar 108 has a pair of slotted ears 112 for securing to flanged legs of a U-shaped bracket 118. Bolts 122, Fig. 5, extend through flanges 120 of bracket 118 and through legs 92 of tie bar 90, the bolts being received within tapped blocks 124 welded to flanges 54 of a steering column support bracket 40. The base of bracket 118 is bolted at 128 to a lower wall 130, Fig. 4, of the box-like centre portion 72 of the knee restraint. The lower wall 134 terminates in an arcuate opening receiving the portion 32 of a collapsible steering column 28. As best seen in Fig. 8 the metal base 74 of the knee restraint is covered with foam material 86 which in turn is covered with an outer decorative vinyl plastics covering 88. A U-shaped bracket 58, Fig. 5, bolted to the column portion 32 includes flanges 62 having slots 64 which are open at their rearward ends for receiving side slotted capsules 66. Plastic shear pins (not shown) are injection moulded within aligned apertures in the capsules and the flanges. A bolt 68 extends through aligned apertures in flanges 54 and 56 of column support brackets 44, 52 and through closed slots in each capsule 66 to thus support the column portion 32 on the firewall (18). Engagement of steering wheel by the driver results in axial force on column portion 32 with consequential shearing of plastic shear pins so that portion 32 may be released for axial movement relative to lower column portion 30. During such movement bracket 58 moves with portion 32 and flanges 62 slide along bracket portion 52 of bracket 46.

Patent GB-750366-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of guanidine salts
Filed: 1953-12-01
Abstract: Guanidine salts are obtained by heating an ammonium salt with dicyandiamide in the presence of a quantity of water the weight of which does not exceed that of the dicyandiamide but which is sufficient to prevent the reaction temperature from rising above 220 DEG  C.  The weight of water employed is preferably from 10 to 100 per cent of the weight of the dicyandiamide and it is preferred to choose the reaction conditions so as to limit the duration of the reaction to less than 1 hour.  The reacting substances are preferably employed in quantities such as to provide one-half mol. of dicyandiamide for each ammonium radical present in the salt, a very slight excess of the salt being preferably employed. In examples: (1) dicyandiamide, ammonium nitrate, and water are heated in an autoclave for 20 minutes at 190 DEG  C. to yield guanidine nitrate; (2) dicyandiamide, ammonium sulphate, and water are heated in an autoclave at 170 DEG  C. for 1 1/4 hours to yield guanidine sulphate; (3) dicyandiamide, water, and industrial ammonium carbonate (a mixture of the carbonate and bicarbonate) are heated at 160 DEG  C. for 40 minutes to yield guanidine carbonate.

[Class 79 (ii)] Apassengerorload carrying moto: vehicle of ordinary type is provided with means where by an auxiliary shaft driven through chain o: other gearing drives by means of crank mechan ism an agricultura or farm machine such as a mowing or hay - making machine, or a grind stone, saw or pump In the construction shown in Fig. 2 an auxiliary drive and an additional low speed for the vehi cle are provided in a gear-box 1 situated at the rear of the ordinary gear-box (not shown) of the vehicle. A shaft 2, driven from the ordinary gear-box, drives a vehicle-propelling shaft 23 either direct by means of a clutch pinion 22, or through reducing gear 18, 19, 21, 22. The shaft 2 also drives, through a clutch 5 and chain or spur gearing 3, 12, a shaft 11 having a crank disc 13 and crank pin 14 for driving a mowing attachment or a saw or other auxiliary device. The clutch 5 is controlled by the driver through a cam lever 8 and is formed with sloping teeth pressed into engagement by a spring 10, so that the clutch slips if the mowing bar or the like is jammed. Other tools or devices may be driven by pulleys or flexible shafts 20a, mounted on or connected to the shaft 11 and a shaft 20 of the reducing gear 18, 19. In the construction shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the auxiliary drive is situated in front of the change-speed gear, and an additional low speed is again provided in the change-speed gearing. The engine or clutch shaft 2 drives the shaft 11 and crank-plate 13 through clutch 5 and chain or other gear 3 as before. Four forward speeds and a reverse are provided between the shaft 2 and the final driven shaft 32 by means of the usual lay-shaft 30, and an additional low speed is also provided by means of a shaft 43 having gear wheels 42, 44 adapted to engage gears 41 and 45 on the shafts 2, 32 respectively. Auxiliary apparatus may also be driven from a shaft 47 having a gear 46 in mesh with gear 41. In a modification of the arrangement shown in Figs. 5 and 6 an additional reverse speed may be obtained through the shaft 43 by sliding the gear 44 into mesh with a reverse pinion.

Abstract: 411,104. Buckles. PARVA PRODUCTS CO., 173, West Madison Street, Chicago, U.S.A. Nov. 29, 1932, No. 33807. Convention date, April 20. [Class 43.] A buckle comprises a frame having cross-bars 11, 12, 14, 15 and sides 13 defining slots 16, 17, 18, the bar 12 being formed with a loop 19 opening into the slot 18 and adapted to engage a button 42. The construction is such that a strap 35 folded round the bar 15 substantially closes the opening of the loop and yieldably maintains the button therein. The bar 15 is provided with a portion 28 displaced out of the plane of the buckle and comprising offset portions 26 defining a circular recess 25 and recesses 27. The bar 12 and loop 19 have offset portions 30 and also portions 31 displaced out of the buckle plane but in the opposite direction to that of the portion 28. In use the button is guided into the loop by the portions 31. If tension is accidentally released the button is guided over the strap by the portions 30 and is thus still retained. The button is detached by forcing it against the fold which is thus jammed into the recess 25 leaving space for release.

Abstract: 1,048,809. Transistor switching circuits. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Aug. 10, 1965 [Sept. 10, 1964], No. 34121/65. Heading H3T. A transistor circuit comprises a transistor having, when conducting, a load connected to the emitter and another to the collector, and a secondary current source connected to the emitter to supply to the emitter, when the transistor is conducting, a current equal to that flowing from the base whereby equal currents flow in both loads. Transistor T 1  is controlled through its base by, for example, the network shown at 15: when transistor T 1  is non- conducting, point O is held at ground by voltage V 3  through diode D 1 , diode D 2  is thus cut off and no current flows in either emitter or collector loads L 2 , L 1 . When transistor T 1  is conducting, point O is at a negative potential, D 1  is cut off, D 2  conducts and the current flowing into the emitter is the current I<SP>1</SP> e  in load L 2  plus secondary current I provided by voltage V 3 . I is made equal to the base current I b  and hence the currents I<SP>1</SP> e  and I c  in the emitter and collector loads L 2 , L 1 , which may be the conductors of a transmission line, are equal.
