Abstract: 699,084. Feeding webs. BRITISH INSULATED CALLENDERS CABLES, Ltd. July 12, 1951 [July 13, 1950], No. 17550/50. Class 100(i) [Also in Groups IX and XXV] A reel spindle comprises two or more arms pivotally attached to the spindle for clamping a reel thereon against a fixed abutment, the arms being collapsable wholly below the spindle surface and are able to rotate from the collapsed position to bear against the reel, means for controlling the movement of the arms being disposed within the body of the spindle. The spindle comprises a portion 4 mounted in bearings 7 which may be comprised in the rotary portion 5 of a machine for winding tape about a core, e.g. an electric conductor, an enlarged barrel 6 and a brake drum 22. The reel 1 is mounted on the barrel 6 between discs 2 and 3, the latter being adjacent an abutment 8. The arms 9 are pivotally mounted on a central portion 11 of the spindle and are spring urged into engagement with a collar 21 screw threaded on a member 16 an extension 19 of which enters the brake drum 22. The member 16 may be rotated by a handle 18, while the collar 21 is prevented from rotating by the arms 9 entering depressions therein; the arms may be retracted from the collapsed position, shown in broken lines, to press against the reel. A member 29 carrying an abutment 30 is attached to the extension 19 of the member 16 within the brake drum and may operate a tension control device. Pivotally attached to the rotary frame at 124 is a lever 23 having portions 24 engaging a flange 25 within the disc 2 so that when removing the reel the disc is not disconnected from the apparatus. With the reel in position arm 23 is retained in place by a spring clip 31.

Patent GB-400719-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in apparatus for the electrostatic deposition of particles suspended ingases
IPC: B03C3/70
Filed: 1932-06-22
Abstract: In electrical precipitation apparatus, the lead-in insulator for the high tension supply to the discharge electrode system is situated in an extension of the main precipitation chamber and a shield is arranged on the high tension conductor to cause condensation of matter in the gases to be treated before they come into contact with the insulator.  In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, the insulator 7 is arranged at the top of an extension chamber 10 communicating with the treater through a narrow passage 9.  A shield 11 is electrically connected to the high tension conductor 6 with a gas-tight seal and forms a narrow passage 12 through which any gases must pass before reaching the insulator 7, thereby being cooled <PICT:0400719/III/1> partition in a cup 18 carried by the high tension conductor 6. This cup collects condensed matter from the insulator chamber and allows excess to drain away and also forms a liquid seal to prevent gas which has not passed through space 15 reaching the insulator.  To assist precipitation in the space 15, stabbed metal sheets 27 may be placed on one or both interior walls of this space.  The neck 9 of the treater extends within the shield 14 to form a liquid seal for use when the treater is inoperative, so that fog, due to the absence of precipitation, will not condense on the insulator.  The sealing liquid, such as oil, may be supplied from the bottom of a container 20 by valved pipe 21.  The upper part of the container may be placed into communication with the treater 1 or the atmosphere by means of a two-way cock 22. When the container and treater are in communication, the pressures therein are equalized and the liquid flows into the chamber 13 on opening the valve in pipe 21.  To empty the seal, the container is placed into communication with the atmosphere, when the liquid is by contact with the outer walls of the chamber 10.  The shield also forms an electrostatic shield for the insulator.  In the construction shown in Fig. 2, the cylindrical shield 14 forming with the chamber 13 the narrow cooling space 15 has a partition 16 which forms the base of the insulator chamber. The shield is supported by a cylindrical extension 17 of the <PICT:0400719/III/2> <PICT:0400719/III/3> forced back into the container by the pressure of the gas in the treater.  A needle valve, operated by float 25, in the end 26 prevents the liquid being forced out of the container.  In the modification shown in Fig. 3, an earthed curved conical shield 28 and a heating coil 29 are provided round the upper end of the insulator.  This shield enables the potential along the surface of the insulator to be evenly graded.  The heating coil may be provided without the earthed shield and may be cylindrical in form.

[Also in Divisions F1 and H1] A dashpot 74 for restricting closure of an I.C. engine throttle valve 2 comprises a spring-biased diaphragm 78 defining with a housing a pair of chambers 74A and 74B and carrying an adjustable rod 80 for engagement with a plate 72 secured to a member 64 secured to the throttle valve. The chamber 74A is connected through connections 75 and 18 to the I.C. engine intake duct 1 and the diaphragm 78 is moved against the bias of the spring 76 by the vacuum in chamber transmitted from the intake duct. An aperture 77 in the diaphragm 78 restricts the flow of air from the chamber 74B into the chamber 74A when the diaphragm is moved by engagement of the plate 72 with the rod 80 on throttle valve closure. An adjustable rod 81 limits the movement of the diaphragm 78 under spring bias. The dashpot, Fig. 4 (not shown), may have a rod (85) biased outwardly of the diaphragm housing by a spring (83), the inward movement of the rod being restricted by air flow through an aperture (86) in the housing. The operation of the dashpot may be controlled by air flow into a diaphragm chamber (111), Fig. 5 (not shown), through a housing aperture (113). A ball check valve (126), Fig. 5, may be provided to facilitate air flow from the chamber (111).

Abstract: 1371564 Transistorized latching relay circuits GENERAL MOTORS CORP 12 April 1972 [20 May 1971] 18371/72 Heading H3T A relay is operated by a manually actuated switch and held on by a holding contact and a normally conducted transistor, release of the manual switch causing a further relay to operate, a contact of which enables a second actuation of the switch to release the relay by rendering the transistor non-conducting, release of the switch then allowing the second relay to release. Actuation of a push-button switch 60 energizes a load 12 and also actuates a relay 24 via normally conducting transistor 20, contact 26 of the relay holding it operated. Release of the pushbutton switch causes a transistor 34 to be rendered conducting by the voltage across the relay and this, via a transistor 40, operates a further relay 48 having a contact 50 connected to the manually operated switch. The next actuation of the latter switch applies the voltage via the contact 50 and diode 51 to the base of transistor 18 which switches off transistor 20 and releases relay 24 and its holding contact 26, relay 48 being maintained via the manual switch. Release of the manual switch now causes the load to be de-energized and relay 48 to be released. The circuit is described as applied to an automatic speed control for a vehicle and comprising a tachometer 10, a speed control circuit 12 in which the actual speed represented by the tachometer output is compared with a demand speed and a speed actuator 14. When the vehicle speed reaches a given value the output of the tachometer is sufficient to render transistor 20 conducting via transistor 18 and at any speed above this the latching switch will render the automatic speed control operable or not. A contact 32 releases the latching relay and disables the speed control when the brake is applied.
