Title: Direction indicator switches for road vehicles
Inventor: WILKINSON NORMAN
IPC: B60Q1/42
Filed: 1967-12-20
Abstract: 1,243,980. Direction indicator switches. JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd. 9 Dec., 1968 [20 Dec., 1967], No. 57863/67. Heading G4Q. [Also in Division H1] A direction indicator switch for a road vehicle includes two pivot pieces 12, 24 movable about axes at right angles to each other to operate contacts, an operating member 27, 15 pivotally mounted on pivot piece 12 to pivot about an axis at right angles to that about which piece 12 pivots, and means interconnecting operating member 27, 15 and pivot piece 24 so that pivotal movement of operating member 27, 15 about pivot piece 12 is transmitted to pivot piece 24 while movement of operating member 27, 15 to move pivot piece 12 is not transmitted to pivot piece 24. As shown, piece 12 pivots about integral lugs 13 and has cams 41, 42 which move leaf spring contacts 38, 39, Fig. 2 (not shown), to operate the headlamps. Piece 12 has three positions, one with lever 27 depressed from the position shown in which the main beam headlight circuit is energized through contacts 37, 38, Fig. 2, and piece 12 is latched in that position by a projection 43 on piece 12 being below a rib on flexible leg 44 of body 11 of the switch; a second position as shown in which the dipped beams are energized through contacts 37, 39, Fig. 2, and piece 12 is latched in this position by projection 43 being above the rib on leg 44; and a third position with lever 27 raised from the position shown in which the headlights are flashed through contacts 38, Fig. 2, and a further contact (not shown) since spring pressed plunger 45 retracts piece 12 from the third position when lever 27 is released. The means interconnecting operating member 27, 15 and pivot piece 24 comprises lugs 28, one on each side of member 27, 15 so that when lever 27 is turned about a vertical axis pivot piece 24 is turned to move bridging contact 31, Fig. 4 (not shown) from a central off position to either of two positions in which the direction indicators are energized. Piece 24 is latched in the three positions by cam track and ball 33, 34, Fig. 1 (not shown). Piece 24 has two arms 35, 36, Figs. 1, 4, attached which are struck by a striker (not shown) on the steering wheel shaft to return the piece 24 to its central off position. On the end of lever 27 is a pushbutton switch (not shown) for the horn, lead 46 and earth lead 47 from which pass through the centre of member 15.

Title: A process for Recovering Acrolein
IPC: C07C45/82
Filed: 1967-12-27
Abstract: 1,180,100. Recovery of acrolein. SUMITOMO CHEMICAL CO. Ltd. 27 Dec., 1967 [29 Dec., 1966], No. 58614/67. Heading C2C. Acrolein, in the form of an aqueous solution, is recovered from a gaseous reaction mixture obtained by gas phase catalytic oxidation of propylene by quenching, directly or indirectly, said reaction mixture down to a temperature of 30-80 C. to separate a condensate from the uncondensed vapour and then absorbing said uncondensed vapour into water at a temperature of 0-30 C. (after or while cooling the vapour to a temperature of 0-30 C.) to obtain an aqueous solution containing predominantly acrolein. In practice, the indirect quenching is effected by the use of cooling water or another suitable cooling medium and the direct quenching is effected by the use of the condensate itself after cooling. The condensate separated from the gaseous reaction mixture in the quenching step may either be discarded or subjected to distillation to recover the acrolein therefrom. The subsequent absorption stage is carried out after cooling the vapour indirectly either before or after the vapour enters the absorption column or directly by the use of the water for absorption, which is itself cooled so that the stated temperature range will be reached when the absorption of vapour occurs. The aqueous solution of acrolein is subsequently concentrated and purified by subjecting it to distillation, preferably under a pressure of 70 mm. Hg and at a temperature of - 1-53 C., and preferably by blowing steam into the distillate. Improved yields of pure acrolein are achieved if a small amount of polymerization inhibitor is added during the steam distillation.

Patent GB-2028279-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to container-carrying vehicles
IPC: B60P1/64
Filed: 1979-08-16
Abstract: This invention provides a convenient method of loading standard twenty- foot ISO containers on to a container- carrying vehicle. Such vehicles include a removable flat-rack 2 to which a container 1 may be secured, and hydraulically operated means for drawing the flat-rack, together with the container, on to the vehicle. The present invention is concerned with the problem of loading the container on to the flat-rack. The problem is solved by using an over-centre jack 9 on the rear end of the flat-rack. The power to lift the container on to the flat-rack is obtained from the L-shaped arm 4 or winch used to draw the flat-rack on to the vehicle. When the container has been lifted over the rear end of the flat-rack, the over- centre jack falls into the stowed position and the rope 5 then pulls the container on to the flat-rack where it is held in place by orthodox ISO twist locks. The vehicle then picks up the flat-rack with the ISO container and loads it on to itself. <IMAGE>
