Title: Hydrostatic power transmission system
IPC: B62D11/04
Filed: 1973-01-23
Abstract: 1376113 Hydrostatic transmissions CLARK EQUIPMENT CO 23 Jan 1973 [24 Jan 1972] 3372/73 Headings F2D and F2W In a hydrostatic transmission having a variable displacement swashplate pump 14 driven by an internal combustion engine (Fig. 2, not shown) which supplies fluid to front wheel 10 motors 42 and 44 only for two-wheel drive, and to rear wheel 12 motors 76 and 78 also, for fourwheel drive, means are provided so that a smooth transition between two- and four-wheel drive and vice-versa may be effected at any speed. In the condition illustrated four-wheel drive is engaged with the output (in forward drive) of the pump 14 passing via a line 46 to a flow divider 48 from which half the pump output passes to motors 42, 44 via a line 50 and a divider-combiner unit 52 and half to motors 76, 78 via line 66, valve 64, and lines 70 and 72. To engage two-wheel drive a control 118 is operated to close valve 64 and put line 66 into communication through line 84, section 90 of a valve 88 also operated by control 118, and a line 92 with the inlet 62 to the pump and then the valve 88 is gradually moved further to cause the line 84 to be put in communication with the output of the pump 14 through section 94 of valve 88 and line 96. When this has been done the vehicle moves at twice the speed in two-wheel drive that it has in four-wheel drive. A system of valves 180, 186, 188 can return fluid to a reservoir 100 to protect the pump from overload. An auxiliary pump 150 supplies make up fluid through one-way valves 156, 158, 164, 166, 170 and 172 and also supplies pressure fluid to a servo-control 23 to aid operation of the pump 14 swash-plate. On steering of the wheel 12 by linkwork 128, 126 and 122 a cable connection 132 adjusts the divider-combiner 52 to apportion fluid to the front (non-dirigible) wheels accordingly. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 6, not shown) the valves 48 and 88 are replaced by a combinerdivider valve (200) (similar to valve 52) which, in conjunction with a farther valve which can divert the fluid from the rear-wheel motors 76, 78 to the input to the pump 14, can effect the smooth changeover to two-speed drive by being adjusted so that it supplies all fluid to the front motors, and not just one half. Hydrostatic braking is effected by returning the swash plate of the pump 14 to its neutral position or by reversing it. The valves 88 and 64 (as well as a valve 98 which returns fluid in the circuit to wheels 76, 76 to the reservoir 100) are operated from control lever 118 via push-pull cables (Fig. 4, not shown). The vehicle may operate in reverse by reversing the flow from the pump, when the divider-combiner valves act in the return lines.

Title: Improvements in prepayment time switches or meters
Inventor: KING FREDERICK WILLIAM
IPC: G07F15/12
Filed: 1959-01-30
Abstract: 921,516. Prepayment mechanisms. UNITED GAS INDUSTRIES Ltd. Jan. 28, 1960 [Jan. 30, 1959], No. 3374/59. Class 27. Prepayment timing mechanism for gas or electricity meters or for television, wireless, gramophones or other apparatus comprises a differential screw 32 that is set forward on insertion and discharge from a rotary coin holder of a coin or coins and is returned by a timing motor 38 that is energized only when the apparatus is put into use. The coin holder 15 may have two strikers for two-coin operation but, as shown, has a single striker 20 engageable with a quantity wheel 23 which is maintained in frictional engagement with a gear 25 by a spring washer 26. The gear 25 meshes with a gear 30 of which the hub is threaded to receive the differential screw 32 and the pinion of the differential screw is connected by a gear 36 to the reduction gearing of the motor 38. The coned end of the differential screw acts on a helical rib 45 or extension of a pointer shaft 43 and moves a pointer 9 over a scale of hours prepaid. An adjustable abutment 49 on the pointer acts on a switch 47 which closes on prepayment being made and, through the local control switch of the apparatus, energizes the apparatus and/also energizes the timing motor either directly or, if the prepayment mechanism is a separate adjunct to the apparatus, through a relay 57. The motor returns the differential screw to open the switch 47 but, if the local switch is opened before the differential screw has moved sufficiently to open the switch 47, the motor stops until the local switch is again closed. The differential screw may act directly on the switch 47 and the pointer may be moved independently of the differential screw. The timing motor may be operated by a battery, particularly when the prepayment mechanism controls a mechanically-operated apparatus and may control a restraining element to determine the operation of a control element on the apparatus. The actuating means for the coin counter 67, which forms the subject matter of Specification 921,517 is also described.

Abstract: 1334194 Adjusting carburetters SOC INDUSTRIELLE DE BREVETS ET D'ETUDES 25 Jan 1972 [2 March 1971] 3403/72 Heading F1B Carburetter adjustment apparatus comprises means 24 receiving the carburetter body and causing to pass into its intake pipe a desired air flow, means 26 adapted to introduce into the float chamber through an orifice 27 other than the usual intake orifice 7 regulated by the needle valve 8 an adjustable liquid or fuel flow and means 28 to measure continuously the free cross-section of the intake orifice. Valve 35 is opened to permit rapid filling of float chamber 6 from a constant pressure fuel source 29. Valve 35 is closed and pump 22 activated to give a desired air flow in the intake pipe 3, e. g. idling flow, the flow being adjusted by assembly 24 (not described) and valve 4. Screw 33 is adjusted to give the desired flow indicated by a meter 31. Screw 19 is then adjusted so that the pressure measured by a manometer 38 downstream of a calibrated orifice (not shown) becomes stable (i.e. the free cross-section of orifice 7 is constant and the level in chamber 6 is constant. Consequently the flow of fuel entering chamber 6 is the same as that delivered through orifice 12 and the inaccuracies caused by fluctuations of the position of needle valve 8 in prior art apparatus are eleminated.

[Class 38 (v)] [Also in Group V] A switch for use in a vulcanizing appliance (see Group V) for automatically. breaking a heating circuit when the temperature attains a predetermined limit comprises a bimetallic strip 15, Fig. 1, whose extremities are anchored, a bar 16 secured to the middle of the strip 15, a latch 17 pivoted to the bar 16, and a see-saw lever 18 which is pivoted at 19 in brackets 20, the lever and latch being acted upon respectively by tension springs 21, 22. Movement of the latch 17 is limited by an adjustable stop 23 and the lever 18 is provided with a finger-piece 24 projecting outside the appliance for resetting purposes. The heating circuit is established through parts 16, 17, 18 and is broken at the predetermined temperature by the release of the latch 17 from the lever 18 due to the curvature of the strip 15. In an alternative form of the device the bimetallic strip 41, Fig. 5, acts upon a lever 42 which is pivoted at 43 and when the strip is cold, engages in a groove in a switch-operating rod 45, holding the contacts in the heating circuit closed against the action of a compression spring. When the predetermined temperature is reached the flexure of the strip 41 will cause the lever 42 to release the rod 45.
