Title: Apparatus for washing the wheels of vehicles
IPC: B60S3/04
Filed: 1970-07-15
Abstract: 1298584 Vehicle washing apparatus BOEWE BOEHLER & WEBER KG MASCHINENFABRIK 15 July 1970 [19 July 1969] 34288/70 Heading B7J . Apparatus for washing the wheels 14 of a vehicle 2 comprises rotating brushes 8, 9 which are moved at right angles to the direction of vehicle travel to engage the wheels 14 and are then taken with the respective wheel over a predetermined distance before being swung away from the wheel. The brushes 8, 9 are driven by motors 6, 7 supported by support rods 4, 5 which are pivotable about a transverse bar 3 of a stationary structure 1 and which are also pivotable about longitudinal axes 10. As a vehicle wheel moves through the apparatus each wheel depresses a floor switch 28, 29, Fig. 2, and fluid is supplied to a ram 12 which interconnects supports 4, 5 to move these supports so that the brushes 8, 9 engage their respective wheels 14. A roller 32 attached to the brush 8, 9 is brought into the path of the wheel and engages its periphery so that the wheel 14 takes the roller 32 and brush 8, 9 along with it. After movement over a predetermined distance brushes 8, 9 are swung away from wheels 14 by ram 12 and then returned to their starting position by rams 19, Fig. 2. Alternative forms of brushes are also described (Figs. 4, 5, not shown), and compressed air control circuits are referred to (Figs. 6, 7, not shown). In two further embodiments (Figs. 8, 9, 10, 11, not shown), each brush has its own separate support and is swung in a horizontal plane into a contact with the wheels through a parallelogram linkage operated by fluid-operated rams.

Title: Improvements in distortion indicators for electrical amplifying systems
IPC: H04B1/60
Filed: 1935-12-11
Abstract: 467,412. Valve amplifying circuits. REDIFFUSION, Ltd., and ADORJAN, P. Dec. 11, 1935, No. 34336. [Class 40 (v)] [Also in Group XXXVI] The distortion of a thermionic amplifier is continuously indicated by applying voltages derived from the input and output terminals of the amplifier respectively to two input circuits of a device which is responsive to changes in the ratio of the voltages in the circuits. The input terminals 1 of the amplifier 2 are connected through an attenuator 4, a filter 5, and rectifier 6 to the terminals 7 of an instrument 8 comprising two moving coils 9, 10 rigidly connected together at rightangles and moving in the field of a permanent magnet 11. The output terminals 3 of the amplifier are connected through a similar system 14, 15, 16 to the terminals 17 of the instrument 8, the terminals 7, 17 being respectively connected to the coils 9, 10 of the instrument, whereby the ratio of the voltages across the terminals 1, 3 is shown on a scale 13. The attenuators are adjusted with low output of the amplifier until the instrument reads zero ; with increasing output the ratio of the amplifier input and output voltages changes and is indicated by the instrument 8, the scale of which may be calibrated approximately in percentage total harmonics. When the frequency discrimination of the amplifier is not negligible, the filter 15 may be given a characteristic which is the reverse of the frequency characteristic of the amplifier. In addition, the action of the distortion indicator may be limited to a narrow band of frequencies by the filters 5, 15, and where the gain is variable the indicator is connected either to parts of the amplifier between which this gain is constant, or the condition of equality of the two voltages fed to the instrument may be maintained by coupling the gain - control device of the amplifier to one of the attenuators 4, 14 so that as the gain is increased the input to the instrument is suitably adjusted. Contacts may be operated by the moving parts of the instrument to operate relays or alarms when a certain amount of distortion is produced by the amplifier, and such devices may be arranged to reduce automatically the input to the amplifier. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 447,314.
Patent GB-429486-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to electrodes for therapeutic purposes, in particular for short wave treatment
IPC: A61N1/06
Filed: 1934-11-30
Abstract: 429,486. Electro-medical appliances. LAST, E., 32, Schottenring, Vienna. Nov. 30, 1934, Nos. 34443 and 34444. Convention dates, Jan. 10. [Class 81 (ii)] An electrode for therapeutic purposes, particularly for short-wave treatment, consists of an insulating intermediate layer of approximately uniform thickness moulded to conform to the surface treated and a metal coating fitted to outer surface of the insulating layer, the whole, together with an outer protective coating if desired, forming a stiff mask. The insulating layer may consist of a mass capable of being moulded and hardened, such as plaster of Paris, rubber &c. A mixture of fibrous material with hardening binders which forms a porous unbreakable body like stiff felt may also be used, e.g. a mixture of gypsum, fibrous matter, rubber, hair and colophony is suitable. Textile layers may be incorporated in the layer to reinforce it. The electrode itself consists of metal foil, e.g. tin, lead, aluminium, of wire gauze or a thicker sheet of metal if the configuration of the surface permits. If it is desired to produce a greater or lesser heating effect in certain areas, the insulating layer may be made of materials of differing dielectric constants, or its thickness may be varied. The insulating layer may also be separated from the treated surface by an air space, and the layer and air-space may be of non-uniform thickness, provided that the metal electrode is uniformly spaced from the surface to be treated. Fig. 1 shows an electrode with a solid intermediate layer, which is formed by applying a layer 2 of suitable material upon the surface 1 to be treated or on a positive cast thereof. After hardening, a metal coating 3 is applied to its outer surface. The metal coating can then be covered by an insulating lacquer, textile &c., or may be provided with a thicker coating 4 to protect it from mechanical injury. Fig. 2 shows an electrode in which the insulating layer 2 is separated from the treated surface 1 by distance pieces 5 leaving an air space 9 between, and is made in a similar manner, except that the insulating material 2 is deposited on an auxiliary layer of easily removable material such as wax or gelatine, the thickness of which corresponds to the thickness a of the air space. If the insulating layer is thin, the whole structure is strengthened by an outer coating 4 in which the distance pieces 5 may be embedded. In the construction shown in Fig. 4, the distance pieces 1 required for the air space 9 are fo:rmed by continuing the marginal portion 5<1> of outer protective layer 4 right up to the surface to be treated. The recesses 7 which allow access of air may be formed during the moulding of the layer 4 or by removal of material from the hardened margins of the layer 4. The studs 11 left between the recesses 7 thus act as distance pieces for the intervening air space.

Title: Ski trainer
IPC: A63B69/18
Filed: 1957-11-05
Abstract: 834,105. Ski trainers. THOMAS, M. R. C. Oct. 13, 1958 [Nov. 5, 1957], No. 34450/57. Class 132(1) Skis, ski-like members or ski supporting members are slidably mounted on a base or frame and guided so that their sliding and turning movements resemble those occurring in skiing. As shown, Fig. 3, (Provisional), rods 1 adapted to carry skis pass through bearings 2 each forming part of a joint 3 slidably mounted on a circular ring 4. Thus the rods can move lengthwise through their bearings which can slide round ring 4. The forward half of each ski rod 1, 1 is linked to a circular disc mounted on a bar 6 which extends across a diameter of ring 4 by linking rods 8. The arrangement is such that appreciable movement of one ski rod 1 in one direction rotates disc 7 and tends to result in substantially similar movement of the other ski rod in the opposite direction. Ring 4 and bar 6 may be inclined and driving means may be provided for varying the inclination thereof. As shown, Fig. 2, (Provisional); ring 4 is mounted on a wooden base plate 9 on a bellows 10 to which air is adjustably supplied through valves. Disc 7 may be locked at the centre of bar 6. The ski may be secured to the rod 1 by jaws 11, Fig. 11, attached by knuckle joints 12 to a cross bar 13 attached to rod 1 but free to turn on it and allowing limited movement of a clamped ski away from the rod 1. In a modification, Fig. 1, (Complete), the ring is mounted on a gimbal and can be locked at an angle of 20 degrees to the horizontal or rocked by an electric motor through cam means. The linking rods 8 are dispensed with and rods 1 are attached directly to an enlarged disc 7, compression springs 16, 17 being provided on bar 6 between disc 7 and ring 4. In a further modification, Fig. 8, (Complete), bar 6 is dispensed with and springs 18, 19 are provided between the ring 4 and bearings on each rod.

Filed: 1920-12-11
Abstract: 160,751. Aktiebolaget Svenska Kullagerfabriken, and Hirth, A. March 26, 1920, [Convention date]. Crank-shafts.-In built-up multi-throw crankshafts, particularly applicable to high-speed internal-combustion engines for flying-machines, motor-vehicles, launches, &c., in which ball or roller bearings are employed, the crank-pins or shaft journals or both are symmetrically disposed between the crank-webs and engage them by rings of teeth formed on the end surfaces of both parts. As shown, the crank-pins and shaft journals are constituted respectively by bushes 2, 1 forming inner bearing races. Radial teeth 6, engaging teeth on the webs 4, are formed preferably by milling and grinding, and their pitch is chosen to suit the angles between the cranks. The parts 1, 2, 4 are secured together by nuts 8 and hollow bolts 7, preferably with countersunk heads 10, or the bolts may be internally or externally threaded for nuts at each end, when the bushes may be secured thereon by pressing. The use of the toothed connection on the surfaces on the crankwebs stiffens them, and, by making the bushes short, saves high-grade steel. Specification 22984/04 is referred to. In the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) the invention is described as a modification of the construction shown in Figs. 6 and 7 of Specification 157,886.

Title: Improvements in or relating to conveyor installations
Inventor: ORWIN OLAF JOHN BARCLAY
IPC: B61B10/00
Filed: 1955-12-09
Abstract: 845,747. Conveyers. FISHER & LUDLOW Ltd. Oct. 12,1956 [Dec. 9, 1955], No. 35336/55. Class 104 (2). A conveyer in which article carriers are releasably coupled to a driving element traversing a track has alternate carriers or alternate groups of carriers differently routed or differently treated, by carrier-controlled track points, or treating devices, along the track, by a control means on a carrier which is set to one of a number of conditions by a setting-device which is also movable to one of a number of conditions by the control means as each successive carrier (or group of carriers) passes, each condition corresponding to a particular route or treatment. To route alternate carriers along another track the control means comprises a peg 14 on an arm 15 pivoted to move between two stops 19, 20 on a load carrier 11 of the kind described in Specification 759,371 and contacting an arm 44 of a setting-device 32 secured to the track of the kind described in Specifications 737,265 and 639,244, by a supporting-arm 43, the arm 44 being pivoted by each carrier to a set position and the peg 14 being moved thereby to a position to operate the points or treating-devices. All the pegs 14 are initially set in the same lower position 14a by contacting a cam 31 of a setting- device which comprises a cranked arm 23 secured to a vertical supporting-arm 25 secured to the track. A pre-set peg passes beneath the arm 44 of the setting-device 32 which pivots about a bolt 33 in the arm 43 limited by a stop 37. The peg contacts the lower downwardlyinclined surface 36 of the device, tilting the arm 44 downwardly and the following peg 14 contacts the upper inclined surface of the arm 44, causing the peg to be raised to its upper position where it is frictionally retained. The peg then causes the setting-device to tilt to its original position. The peg in its raised (or lowered) position contacts a switch which energizes a solenoid operating the points or treating-devices. The carriers may have pegs 12 which contact micro-switches controlling other devices along the track. For routing differently alternate carriers of one kind of a number of different kinds of carriers each carrier of one kind has a distinctive pattern for the pegs 12. For routing differently alternate groups of carriers the setting-device is controlled by dividing- means such as a rotary switch controlling a solenoid which moves the setting member after a predetermined number of articles have stepped up the switch. If the control-member has more than two positions, the setting device is given the same number of positions by separate solenoids controlled by a selector switch actuated by the carriers. Specifications 758,655 and 819,343 also are referred to.
