Title: Apparatus for separating solid pieces or particles differing in specific gravity and/or size by float-and-sink method
IPC: B03B11/00
Filed: 1959-01-26
Abstract: 905,489. Separating apparatus. STAMICARBON N.V. Jan. 26, 1959 [Jan. 24, 1958; Feb. 1, 1958], No. 2778/59. Class 82 (2). In an apparatus for separating particles differing in size and/or specific gravity either in a virtually static bath of liquid having a density intermediate between those of the particles to be separated or by means of a continuous upward stream of liquid, the separatory tank consists of a main section which on three sides at least extends into shallower sections, one of which forms a feed shoot and two of the others form discharge sections for the " sink " and " float " sections. The said shallower sections are formed as detachable units, at least one of the pairs of opposed sides of the main section, having the shallower sections attached thereto being of the same size and shape so that the position of those shallower sections are interchangeable. If the fourth side of the main tank also extends into a shallower section, the latter may also be detachable, in which it and its opposed detachable section may be interchangeable, or both pairs of opposite sides may be interchangeable, or all four may be mutually interchangeable. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 and schematically in Fig. 3, a main section 2 has detachably secured to it feed shoot section 3, discharge sections 4 and 5 for " float " and " sink " fractions respectively and end section 6, sections 5 and 6 being interchangeable. The " float " fraction is removed by paddle wheels 7, 8, and the " sink " fraction by conveyer 9. The paddles and conveyer may be mounted independently of the tank.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Hydraulic Systems
IPC: B60T11/10
Filed: 1967-01-19
Abstract: 1,182,311. Braking systems; valves. ALFRED TEVES G.m.b.H. 19 Jan., 1967 [26 Jan., 1966; 12 March, 1966], No. 2819/67. Headings F2F and F2V. An hydraulic system comprises two circuits, each having an independently operable pressure transmitting device (5, 6), Fig. 1 (not shown), and a pressure receiving device (1, 2) interconnected by a pressure equalizing valve (7) including two pistons 13, 14, Fig. 2, each containing a spring closed valve 22, 23 and having means for opening the valve in the other piston arranged so that when the pressure transmitting devices are independently operated the valves remain closed and the circuits remain separated and when the pressure transmitting devices are operated together the pistons are forced towards each other to unseat the valves to connect the two circuits to equalize the pressures. The pressure equalizing valve interconnects two pressure lines (3, 4) between master cylinders (5, 6) and brake cylinders (1, 2). For steering a brake pedal is operated to increase pressure in either brake circuit which forces the corresponding control piston 13, 14, Fig. 2, against the force of spring 16 or 17 to the stop 15. The other control piston 14 or 13 abuts the end cover 9 or 10 so that the exensions 30, 31 do not reach the valve members 22, 23 and the valves 20, 21 remain closed. The brake circuits remain separate and can be operated independently. If both brake pedals are depressed the control pistons 13, 14 are both moved to stop 15 so that extensions 30, 31 open the valve members 22, 23 to interconnect the brake circuits thereby equalizing the braking force applied at each wheel. In another embodiment control piston 13 or 14, Fig. 3, moves against the pressure of a spring 47 to stop 45 or 46. The resulting pressure increase in chamber 63 opens the valve member 22 or 23 of the moving control piston to allow passage of fluid from chamber 63. Fluid in chambers 59 or 60 is forced via bores 57 or 58 into an equalizing reservoir 56. The other control piston remains against its stop and its valve member remains closed so that the two brake circuits remain separated. When the circuit pressure is relieved the piston 13 or 14 returns to its inoperative position and the fluid previously forced out of chamber 63 is returned via bores 52 or 53. Simultaneous application of both right-hand and left-hand brakes causes interconnection of the brake circuits as in Fig. 2. If the two steering road wheels are braked with the driving road wheels the brake cylinders of the steering road wheels are connected to chamber 63 by a further brake connection (not shown). The steering road wheels are therefore only braked when both of the vehicle brakes are applied. When only one of the steering brakes is applied no substantial increase occurs in chamber 63. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 983,356.

Abstract: 211,854. Scheding, E., (Assignee of Lindemann, A. B.). Feb. 24, 1923, [Convention date]. Platen machines; gripper mechanism.-In a sheet feeding, carrying, and delivery mechanism for platen machines, of the kind which takes a sheet from a table situated below the platen and conveys it upward for printing and delivery, the gripper bar 4, Fig. 2, and pivoted gripper 5 are carried by elbow levers 37, Figs. 1 and 6, pivoted at 38 to blocks 6 reciprocating along rods 7 pivoted at 8 to the machine frame. Each elbow lever 37 carries a roller 26 which strikes a fixed abutment 27 when the gripper is approaching its lowermost position, whereby the levers are swung against the action of a spring 28 into position to enable the gripper to take a sheet 1 from the table 2. The pivoted gripper 5 is opened at the same time against the action of its spring 32 by the engagement of a stud 35 on arm 39 projecting from the pivoted gripper 5 with a guiding surface 31, which is carried by a lever actuated simultaneously with the front stops 29, so that when the latter are lowered the pivoted gripper 5 closes and grips the sheet. As the blocks 6 are moved upwards along the rods 7 to carry the sheet to printing position the rods 7 are swung towards the type bed by members 9 on the platen. The blocks 6 are reciprocated by a connecting-rod 25 and crank 24 on a wheel 23 actuated by a rack 22 adjustably connected to a slotted arm of a twoarmed lever 20 pivoted on the end of one arm 15 of another two-armed lever, the other arm of which has a roller 16 engaging a cam 13. The other arm of the lever 20 is connected bv a link 21 to a lever 17 carrying a roller 18 held in engagement with another cam 14 by a spring 19. Printing takes place when the parts are in position shown by full lines in Fig. 4, the combined action of the two cams 13, 14 on the lever 20 being such that the grippers 4, 5 are then at rest. The position of this dwell may be varied according to the size of the sheet by adjusting the bolt 36 on the end of the rack 22 in the slot in the lever 20. After printing, the upward movement of the grippers 4, 5 is continued whilst the parts are moved into the positions shown in dotted lines in Fig. 4, the pivoted gripper 5 being finally swung open by the engagement of the arm 39 with the hook 33, whereby the sheet is released, transferred to hooks 10 on the platen and carried thereby to the delivery rollers 11 and delivery box 12.
