Patent GB-598922-A (GB)
Title: Hydraulic mechanism for effecting reciprocation of a pump
IPC: F04B9/10
Filed: 1945-06-08
Abstract: 598,922. Liquid - pressure engines. DEHN, F. B. (Alco Valve Co.). June 8, 1945, No. 14573. [Class 69 (ii)] In a hydraulic mechanism for reciprocating a pump, a reverse valve 16 controls the flow of pressure fluid to and from the opposite ends of a cylinder 13 to reciprocate therein a piston 12 which is connected to the pumping device S to be actuated. A continuously operating pump 19 delivers pressure fluid through a line 17 to the reverse valve 16 which latter is connected by fluid lines 14, 15 to opposite ends of the cylinder 13, said reverse valve comprising a casing provided with reciprocating valves 25, 26, 27 and fluid passages whereby the pressure fluid is alternately conducted into one and then into the other of the fluid lines 14, 15, the fluid line not connected with the pressure line 17 being connected by passages in said casing and controlled by said reciprocating valves to a discharge line 18. As shown in Fig. 2, pressure fluid flows from the inlet 17 through an open passage 44 to a passage 45 leading to the line 14 to raise the piston 12. At the same time, fluid displaced from above the piston 12 escapes. through the line 15 and passages 49, 57, 55 and 53 to the discharge line 18. Pressure fluid from the passage 45 also traverses a passage 46 to a chamber 32 beyond one end of the piston valve 25. A spring 35 in the chamber 32 holds apart two apertured washers 33, 34 on an extension 31 of the piston valve 25 to hold the valve in the neutral position shown. When the piston 12 reaches the end of its stroke, or meets an obstruction, the pressure builds up to a predetermined value at which it moves the valve 25 to the left, compressing the spring 35. Fluid displaced by the opposite end of the valve 25 escapes through a passage 50 to the passage 49 and so to the discharge line 18. By the movement of the piston valve 25, collars on it cease to obstruct passages 60, 62 leading to the ends of the chamber of the second piston valve 26 and face the hydraulic lock thereon; the passage 62 is opened to the pressure line 17 and the passage 60 to the discharge line 18. The valve 26 moves quickly to the right and a central collar thereon passes the fluid pressure passage 44 permitting the fluid to traverse a restricted passage 66 leading to one end of the chamber containing the third piston valve 27, while a similar passage 64 at the other end of the chamber becomes open to the passage 53 and discharge line 18. The valve 27 moves slowly to the right reversing the connections to the lines 14, 15. The passage 46 is now open to the discharge line 18 and the pressure of the spring 35 returns the valve 25 to its neutral position.

Title: Method of ultrasonic measurement
IPC: G01N29/28
Filed: 1974-04-03
Abstract: 1432097 Ultrasonic testing B V TOMILOV 3 April 1974 14707/74 Heading H4D A method of making ultrasonic measurements for the purpose of non-destructive testing of materials and articles includes provision for optimum acoustic coupling through a lubricating layer between a probe clamped under pressure against a test piece, by separately mechanically vibrating the assembly until a maximum reflected ultiasonic signal is detected. The sur face of an article which is to be tested is coated with a thin film of lubricant. A transducer is applied to this surface so that it is affixed under constant pressure An ultrasonic signal is passed into the article from the transducer, and the amplitude of the reflected signal is detected and displayed on an oscilloscope or a voltmeter. Mechanical vibratory motion is then applied to the transducer, and the rate of growth of reflected signal is observed, which rate of growth decreases steadily, until a point when it decreases abruptly. This indicates the formation of an intimate and thin contact layer of lubricant between transducer and tested article which provides optimum acoustic coupling. The mechanical vibrations are immediately discontinued and the ultrasonic test signal parameters are measured, after a predetermined time to allow cessation of transients. It is stated that the invention is applicable to thickness measurements and measurements on rough surfaces.

Title: Improvements in Targets.
Inventor: QUACK CHRISTIAN MARTINUS ADOLF
IPC: F41J7/04
Filed: 1916-10-23
Abstract: 102,144. Quack, C. M. A. Nov. 10, 1915, [Convention date]. Targets.-The target 7, loose on a shaft 4 mounted in bearings 3 at the top of uprights 2, has a tendency to dip to the position shown in Fig. 3 owing to the weight 24 adjustable on a projecting rod 23, but is normally held in the vertical position by the mutual engagement of two catches, one of which is a pallet with a pin 14 pivoted on it at 15, the other being a hook 20 pivoted at 18 on the bearing 3. The hook tends to drop to the position shown in Fig. 3, and the impact enables it to do so by relieving the friction with the pin 14, whereupon the target dips. The target is erected again and the hook is reset to catch the pallet by turning the shaft 4, and therewith a double lever 10, to the position, shown in Fig. 5. while, on the shaft being left inactive, it is turned back by a loaded lever 6 to give the double lever the position shown in Fig. 6, which leaves the hook free to drop on impact. The shaft can be operated from a distance by a cord. The target may also be released by the temporary pressure of an arm 26. By adjusting the weight 24 so that only a very slight impact is required, the apparatus may be employed for the very lightest projectile. A number of such targets are mounted on a common shaft.

T. ; 658, Ridgewood Road, Maplewood, New Jersey, U.S.A.) May 23, 1935, No. 15069. Convention date, June 2, 1934. [Class 39 (i)] A cathode-ray tube has an envelope consisting of at least two sections fused together, one of the sections acting as the end wall closing one end of the rest of the envelope and the completed envelope having a peripheral recess or bent-in portion substantially at the fused area serving as a division between two sections which are fused together. As shown in Fig. 1, a cathode-ray tube is provided with a portion 2 containing an electron gun similar to that described in Specification 402,607, a frusto-conical portion 3 having an internal silver or graphite coating 6, and an end portion 4 having a fluorescent coating 10. The portion 4 is made separately, preferably of material having different optical qualities from the main envelope, such as may be optically worked or formed into a lens. The fluorescent coating is deposited by spraying or settling from a solution, and the portion 4 is then sealed to the portion 3, if necessary through a graded seal, the groove 5 being made while the seal is plastic. The coating 6 is then deposited from solution, the tube being rotated in a vertical position with the wall 4 uppermost. The groove 5 serves to prevent contamination of the fluorescent coating by the solution. The groove 5 may also be used to support components within the tube, such as the element 50, Fig. 6, which may be a photo-sensitive mosaic or an auxiliary anode, and the element 52 which may merely support the element 50 through members 54. Portions of the envelope may be of metal. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises the application to electron discharge tubes generally. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
