Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for Dispensing Beverages
IPC: B67D1/14
Filed: 1966-10-14
Abstract: 1,168,987. Dispensing beer. AMETEK, Inc. 14 Oct., 1966 [24 Oct., 1965], No. 46003/66. Heading A4T. A beer dispenser has a discharge nozzle 12 fitted with a valve 37, 38, Fig. 7, which is operated through a timer circuit to deliver a main quantity of beer for a predetermined time and thereafter to deliver a supplementary topping up quantity. An operating handle 16 is manually movable from its central position to either a forward or a rearward position to pivot a switch actuation 24 on a shaft 22 so that an arm (26. Figs. 5, 6) on the actuator 24 closes one or other of a pair of switches S6, S5. Operation of either switch S6, S5 energises a solenoid 28 to open the valve 37, 38. The solenoid 28 has a rotary shaft 29 carrying a link 30 with a bifurcated end 31 engaging the top end of a lever 33 pivoted at a spherical centre 34. Rotation of the shaft 29 pivots the link 30 against the bias of a spring 39 and in turn pivots the lever 33 which has its lower end 36 engaged with the valve stem 37 to move the valve head 38 from its seat. The switches S6, S5 are associated with timer motors 41, 50, Fig. 7, which respectively control the durations of opening of the valve 37, 38 on pouring the main and supplementary quantities of beer. These durations are adjustable by control knobs 49, 57. Each motor 41, 50 is reversible. The main timer motor 41 carries a crank arm 44 which is rotated when the motor 41 is actuated by the switch S6. Movement of the arm 44 operates switches S3, S4 to energize the valve operating solenoid 28 and to complete a holding circuit which maintains the valve 37, 38 open until the main quantity has been dispersed even though the handle 16 may have been returned to its neutral position. If the handle 16 is maintained in the operative position successive main quantities are delivered with a time delay between them. The arm 44 moves to a position in which it operates a switch S2 carried by a plate 47 rotated by the knob 49 to a desired position of adjustment. Operation of the switch S2 reverses the motor 41 to retain the crank arm 44 to a position to operate the switches S3, S4 to de-energise the solenoid 28 and stop the main dispersing cycle. The returned arm 44 also operates an arm 45 of a main cycle counter 46. The supplementary timer motor 50 has an associated counter 54, crank arm 52 and reversing switch S1 The supplementary dispensing cycle is such that the valve 37, 38 is open only when the handle 16 is in the operative position so that the supplementary quantity may be dispensed in increments up to a total quantity as determined by the adjusted position of the limit switch S1 set by the control knob 57.

Abstract: 1,017,521. Space heating radiators; headers. USINES CHAUSSON S.A. Dec. 12, 1962 [Dec. 29, 1961; Feb. 13, 1962], No. 47019/62. Heading F4S. In a heat radiator for a motor vehicle, comprising liquid circulation ducts 1 connected between tube plates 2 and 3 which have header covers 8 and 11 respectively, at least one of the headers extends to the highest point of the heat exchanger and is divided by a partition into two compartments which intercommunicate through at least one opening between the top of the partition and the corresponding wall of the header cover. By this means, any gas tending to collect at the highest part of the heat exchanger is carried away by liquid flowing through the opening. As shown, Figs. 1 and 4, the heat exchanger comprises a nest of straight parallel tubes 1, having transverse fins 4 and being flanked by frame members 5 and 6. The inlet header cover 8 has a supply connection 10, and the outlet header cover 11 has a discharge pipe 12. The header covers are attached at their edges, e.g. by soldering, gluing, welding, to flanged peripheral gutters 9 round the tube plates. The partition 16 divides the header into compartments 14 and 15 which are connected by an opening 20 at the top of the partition. The partition is held in place by tabs 18 which engage a shoulder 11a of the header cover 11, and by its peripheral edge which rests against the tube plate 2. A boss 21 on the partition 16, and a corresponding bulged portion 13 of the header cover 11, ensure that the partition can be fitted only in the correct manner. In an alternative embodiment, the partition and the header cover are contiguous (Fig. 8, not shown), with corresponding shaped portions forming an internal extension 25, to the discharge pipe, this extension being equivalent to the compartment 14 of the first embodiment, the top of the extension being bevelled, adjacent the highest part of the header. In another form (Figs. 5 and 6, not shown) the partition is completely replaced by an extension of the discharge pipe, internally of the header cover, to the top thereof. In Fig. 10 (not shown) a modified form of the embodiment of Fig. 8, has the discharge duct formed between the contiguous header cover and the partition and the latter is branched at the upper end, the total cross sectional area of the branches being equal to the area of the main discharge pipe required. The opening 20, or the bevelled duct ends of the other embodiments may be replaced by a recessed portion of the header cover at its highest point, Fig. 9 (not shown). To allow draining of the heat exchanger, passages 16a, 16b (Fig. 2, not shown), or holes 26 (Fig. 10, not shown) are provided connecting the compartments 14 and 15 at their lowest points, these openings having an area of about 5% of the discharge pipe cross-sectional area. The inlet header may have a partition shaped to promote a predetermined distribution of liquid flow to the tubes 1.

Abstract: 1306426 Calculating; counting COMPAGNIE DES COMPTEURS 2 Oct 1970 [2 Oct 1969] 47058/70 Heading G4A Two pulse trains having repetition frequencies f 1 , f 2  representing respective variables, e.g. specific gravity and differential pressure of fluid flowing through a pipe, are applied to counting means 1 and multiplying means 2-15 to form a third pulse train which is used to reset the counter 1 so that the frequency of the third pulse train is a function of the square root of the product f 1 , f 2 . In Fig. 2, a synchronizing circuit 5 removes overlap between pulses of input trains F 1 , F 2  and may perform frequency division of F 2 . The outputs of complementary stages of counters 1, 2 are AND gated together at 11, differentiated at 12 and pass through OR gate 13 to produce the output train F 4  under control of inhibit gate 14. Pulses F 4  are fed to a divider which resets counter I each time the divider overflows. In another embodiment, Fig. 4, each pulse f 1  steps a counter 1 and synchronizing circuit 20 produces outputs a 1 -a 4  and a train of 9 pulses are in succession, in synchronism with pulses f 2 , between successive pulses f 1 . Pulse a 2  transfers the contents of counter 1 to register 21, a 3  gates the stored carry obtained from adder 22 in the previous cycle to divider 3, a 4  resets carry store 25, and the a 5  pulses shift registers 19, 21 in synchronism so that the counter contents are added to the accumulated total from register 19 and the result is stored in register 19. The output pulses from divider 3 are used to reset counter 1. If a pulse a 3  gating the stored carry to divider 3 causes the divider to overflow, the overflow pulse passes through OR gate 24 so that the contents of counter 1 are shifted one place to the right, i.e. divided by 2, thereby correcting errors in the mean frequency F3.
