Abstract: 772,995. Forced-flow steam boilers. VAPOUR HEATING CORPORATION. Sept. 19, 1955 [Oct. 5, 1954], No. 26761/55. Class 123(2) In a coiled water-tube steam boiler, for example as described in Specification 492,709, comprising a bank of connected coils 23... 26 each consisting of a series of horizontal, circular loops connected by offset portions and positioned one within the other about a common, central, vertical axis, the innermost coil enclosing a central heating space 22 into which flow hot gases from a combustion chamber 16 fired by a burner 11, the gases passing . outwardly through the coils to an outlet duct 13; the convolutions of adjacent coils are held at the correct spacing during manufacture by a series of axially-extending, circular section, sinuous wires 42 which, after an inner coil, for example coil 23, has been formed on a mandrel are spot-welded to its outer circumference, the outer coil 24 then being wound on the inner with its turns staggered in relation to those of the inner coil. The number of wires is sufficiently great and their spacing sufficiently small to ensure that the turns of coil 24 are truly circular so that, in operation, a uniform, radially-outward gas flow is obtained at all points on the coil circumference. The cross-section of wires 42 is sufficiently small to ensure that they are readily burned away when the generator is fired, the coils being permanently supported at their correct spacing whilst allowing for expansion movements by diametricallydisposed, rectilinear blocks 43 each of which is welded to either or both of adjacent upper and lower coil turns and has a lateral finger abutting slidably against an adjacent intermediate coil turn. The blocks are each welded to the water-tubes along three sides to secure efficient heat transfer and thus prevent the burning of the block.

Title: Improvements in infinitely variable gears
IPC: F16H47/04
Filed: 1956-09-03
Abstract: 822,404. Variable-speed gearing. WOYDT, E. Sept. 3, 1956 [Oct. 24, 1955], No. 26834/56. Class 80 (2). In a continuously variable speed gear the power path is divided into a wholly mechanical branch and a branch containing a hydrostatic gear and a change-speed gear, the two branches being combined in a differential gear with the output shaft. A driving shaft 2 carries rigid therewith an hydraulic pump 13 of the type described in Specification 822,403, and a gear 36. The gear 36 drives the planet carrier 32 of a differential 28, 30, 29 through a shaft 3 and a freewheel 34a. One gear 29 of the differential is rigid with the driven shaft 8 and the other gear 28 is rigid with a dog clutch member 26 which by movement of a sleeve 25 can be clutched to clutch members 24 or 23, or by movement of a second sleeve 38 prevented from rotation in the same direction as the shaft 8 by a freewheel 11. The members 24, 23 are rigid respectively with gears 21, 22 meshing with planet gears 19, 20, respectively, on a shaft 18 of an hydraulic motor unit 15 of the type described in Specification 811,864, [Group XXIX], fed by the pump 13. With the member 24 coupled to the member 26, the stroke of the pump unit is at a maximum and the stroke of the motor at a minimum, the shafts 2 and 8 rotate at the same speed. For a reduction in speed of shaft 8, the pump stroke is reduced and the motor stroke increased until such stage as the bevel 28 is stationary, when it can be locked by the freewheel sleeve 38 while the sleeve 25 is slid to the left to uncouple the member 24, the swept volumes of the pump and motor are increased and decreased respectively, and then the member 23 is coupled to the bevel 28. A further speed reduction of shaft 8 is thus obtained by the use of the change-speed gear 19, 21 and 20, 22. Specification 668,754 also is referred to.

Filed: 1972-06-08
Abstract: 1388158 Taximeters GEECEN Ltd 4 May 1973 [8 June 1972] 26875/72 Heading G4T In an electronic taximeter, time and distance pulses enter the circuit shown at T and D and are fed via lines 34, 35 to gates 32, 33, and depending upon whether the distance pulse frequency is representative of a taxi speed either above or below a predetermined speed, either gate 33 or 32 respectively is opened to pass either distance or time pulses respectively (the other pulse train being blocked), for uitlization in operating a fare counter. At low taxi speeds (when the distance pulse frequency is less than the time pulse frequency), time pulses from a divider 20 pass to latching arrangements 28, 29 and also to a distance pulse divider 21 to constantly reset the divider 21, which therefore gives no output. Under these conditions, latch 28, 29 maintains gate 32 open and 33 closed. When the distance pulse frequency becomes greater than the time pulse frequency, pulses from divider 21 constantly reset divider 20 and the latch is tripped so that gate 33 is maintained open and 32 closed. Output pulses leaving the circuit shown from gate 36 are fed to a divider, Fig. 1 (not shown), each output pulse from which is operative to pass a predetermined number of pulses from the time pulse generator (a crystal oscillator), to a counter which operates a fare display. The distance pulse generator may be photo-electrically or electromagnetically operated. Tariff changing means as described in Specification 1,372,869 may be included.

[Class 56] A table for use when mottling and glazing tiles and similar articles by hand includes a travelling belt conveyer for carrying the tiles while they are being mottled, a scraping device for cleaning the edges of the tiles arranged near the delivery end of the conveyer, and a water bath and brushing device arranged in the lower part of the table for cleaning the conveyer. The conveyer 12 has its upper surface more or less flush with the table top 10 which may be constructed of slats of wood or metal, wire mesh, perforated metal plates or the like to prevent glaze from collecting on the surface. Beneath the table, a water bath 18 is mounted through which the conveyer passes, and brushes 19 are provided for removing any glaze from the conveyer. A short belt conveyer 20 is provided to carry the tiles to the conveyer 12, and a rotary or reciprocating brushing device may be provided for cleaning the tiles before they are placed in the conveyer 20. An electric motor 17 drives the conveyers, and also a scraping device which may consist of a belt 25 carrying flat strips or blades spaced apart by washers. Instead of a single conveyer 12, a pair arranged side by side and running in opposite directions may be used, the tiles being transferred from one to the other by a suitable device such as an inclined member arranged above the conveyer. The brushing and scraping devices are then arranged at the same end of the table. A stationary scraper may be used instead of the moving belt 25.

Indicator lamps 1-6 are successively lit to indicate the degree of safety of a car as the speed of the car increases, a generator 30 supplying a current proportional to the speed of the car to an electromagnet 29 controlling the position of a commutator device so that contacts 1<SP>11</SP>-6<SP>11</SP> controlling the lamps are successively closed. Connected in series with the generator 30 is a resistance 10 which may be short-circuited to alter the supply of current to the electromagnet 29 according to the conditions of safety effecting the car. In the embodiment described a contact 11 shortcircuits the resistance when darkness falls, either by a coupling with the control of the lighting of the car or by a relay connected with a photo-electric cell. A second contact 12 short-circuits the resistance 10 in accordance with road conditions. A third contact 17 short circuits another zone of the resistance 10 when it rains either by a coupling with the window screen wiper or with a system of relays connected to a hygrometer. The short-circuiting means corresponding to road conditions may be controlled by a tape containing information concerning the road or by a pick-up device responsive to signals emitted at danger points along the road. The entire variable resistance 10 may be short circuited when there is a failure of a part of the car. An audio signal 7 is sounded when the last lamp 6 is energized indicating that the car is going excessively fast and means may be included for limiting the speed of the car when the last lamp is lit.
