Title: Refrigerator service valve
IPC: F25B41/00
Filed: 1967-01-04
Abstract: 1,106,464. Valves; pipe couplings; junction pieces. J. W. MULLINS. 4 Jan., 1967, No. 517/67. Headings F2G and F2V. A refrigerator service valve 10 comprises a tubular housing 11 having internal threads, which are terminated by an internal constriction 21 constituting an abutment for a valve core 22, and external threads, as at 14 and 16. At one end of the valve a tip 26, shoulder 28 and tapered surface 24 are formed, all for the purpose of providing a suitable connection for refrigerator pipes of various diameters. Thus a small diameter pipe would be inserted into the bore of the tip 26 (Fig. 3, not shown), whereas a pipe of greater diameter would surround the tip 26 and abut shoulders 28 (Fig. 5, not shown), or in the extreme case the end portion of the pipe would be coaxially positioned on, and brazed to the tapered surface 24. Threads 16 allow the valve to be connected to a conventional internally threaded bushing (40, Fig. 8, not shown). When connected to a refrigerant pipe, a pressure or vacuum check of the same is made by connecting a suitable gauge to threads 14 so that the former contacts and unseats valve 22. Replenishing of the refrigerant line is effected by connecting, to threads 14, a conventional valve depressor connected to a source of supply.

Title: Improved circulating pump for liquids
IPC: H02K5/128
Filed: 1963-01-04
Abstract: 957,973. Pump motors. P. D. JENSON. Jan. 4, 1963 [Jan. 5, 1962; April 9, 1962], No. 572/63. Heading H2A. [Also in Division G1] In a motor-driven pump, e.g. for central heating systems, in which the rotor space is filled with pumped liquid, the rotor space is separated from the high-pressure side 5 of the pump by means of a resilient pressure-equalizing membrane 22, which can lift off a seating 15 to allow water into the motor when a vent valve 25 is opened. The resilient membrane 22, which may be of plastic or rubber, is forced down against the sealing edge 15 of ring 18 by leaf springs 23. The ring 18 is supported by an apertured rigid partition 19 and is sealed at its underside against the shaft by means of a spring-loaded gland 17, 27 by means of which great excess pressure in the motor is automatically relieved. The motor chamber is ventilated by manually rotating spindle 46 which is threaded into the casing at 47 to break the seal produced by a sealing ring 53, liquid then passing up shaft duct 37. The shaft bearings 33, 34 are lubricated by liquid circulated by its rotation in the rotor space, through space 56, passages 57, 58, 40 and back down through the bearings. During venting, passage of liquid through this route is prevented by a rising valve disc 39. The spindle 46 may be screwed out to its limit 59, whereupon a slot 50 engages an elongated head 43 of the shaft so that the direction of rotation may be seen or the shaft turned manually.

Title: Automatic electric welding system
IPC: B23K9/067
Filed: 1947-01-07
Abstract: 620,198. Control systems for welding-arcs. LINDE AIR PRODUCTS CO. Jan. 7, 1947, No. 588. Convention date, Feb. 5, 1946. [Class 38 (iv)] Automatic apparatus for making repetitive arc-welds comprises (a) means, such as a motor 18, 20, for feeding a welding rod 10 into a mass of granular blanketing material 176 on the work 22, (b) means, such as a transformer or generator 182, for applying normal welding current between the rod and work, (c) means, such as transformer 156, spark gap 168 and air-core transformer 170, 174, for applying a high-frequency voltage between the rod and work to initiate the arc, (d) means for removing the highfrequency voltage when the arc is established, (e) means for interrupting the flow of welding current upon completion of a weld and (f) means, such as a motor 116 for moving the rod or work to another welding site. The rod feeding mechanism may be controlled by a device 24 responsive to the arc volts to maintain constant arc characteristics. The motor 116 may continuously move the rod over the work, delayed relays 54, 104 determining, respectively, the length of each weld and the interval between welds. At the completion of a weld the voltage rise in the welding circuit closes the contact 66 of a voltage-responsive relay 50, thereby energizing from a supply 84 the relay 104. Contact 52 of relay 54 is now open, preventing the rod from feeding, whilst motor 116 moves the work forward. When relay 104 times out, its contacts 110 close; energizing a relay 82 from the supply 84 and bringing about by operation of its contacts 80, 118, 148, respectively, (1) interruption of supply to the motor 116 and relay 54, which latter closes its contact 52 to start the rod feed motor 18, 20, (2) insertion of resistor 120 into the armature circuit of the rod feed motor to limit the feed rate, and (3) energization of transformer 156 of the high-frequency generator. The fall of welding circuit voltage occurring when the arc strikes causes relay 50 to release contact 66, thereby de-energizing relays 82, 104, and causing energization of the work feed motor 116, de-energization of relay 54, cutting out of resistor 120 to restore normal rod feed rate, and de-energization of the highfrequency generator. Upon relay 54 timing out, its contacts 52 open to stop the rod feed motor, the arc then extinguishing and the cycle repeating. A filter unit B is provided to keep high-frequency voltages from the control circuits.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a windshield washer
IPC: B60S1/50
Filed: 1952-01-11
Abstract: 698,453. Windscreen cleaners. TRICO PRODUCTS CORPORATION. Jan. 11, 1952 [Jan. 11, 1951], No. 933/52. Class 138 (i). [Also in Group XXVIII] A windscreen washer has a delivery nozzle to which liquid is supplied by a motor pump unit, which unit has a motor chamber provided with an atmospheric vent, a suction supply line opening into the chamber through a port, valve means normally closing the vent and opening the port for one pump stroke and operable by the motor to reverse the valve means to open the vent and close the port on the other pump stroke, and manually operable control means having a retaining part responsive to the chamber pressure to retain the unit operating on one stroke and thereafter to interrupt the pressure communication to complete the pump cycle. When a push button 33 of the manual control is depressed, a stem 34 moves a latch pin 36, to move a valve 30 from a seat 27 on to a seat 29 against the action of a spring 32. Suction in the intake manifold 17 of the engine 18 is thereby placed in communication with the motor cylinder 11 via passages 26, 31 and 16. The cylinder 11 is in communication with a pressure chamber 38 by a passage 39. The diaphragm 35 of the chamber is connected to the pin 36 and consequently the pin is retained in its depressed position by the suction on the diaphragm against the action of a spring 37 and the button 33 may be released. The motor piston 10, connected by a rod 9 to a pump piston 8, is thereby drawn upwardly and liquid is drawn into pump cylinder 6 through a valve 14 from a reservoir 7. When the piston 10 nears the end of its stroke a spring 40 is compressed against a pivoted valve 20 which is finally moved upwardly so as to open the air vent valve 22, normally closed by a spring 24, and at the same time to close the suction port 21. Suction in the motor cylinder and the chamber 38 is thereby dissipated and a spring 15 moves the piston 10 downwardly so that the piston 8 forces liquid from the cylinder 6 through a pipe 5 to the nozzle 1. The valve 30 is released from the seat 29 and the passage 16 is connected to atmosphere through a port 28 and the valve 20 is opened. The cylinders 11, 6 are supported in the reservoir by a bail 13 and the lower end of the cylinder 10 is connected either directly to atmosphere or indirectly thereto, through the liquid as shown. In order to prevent damage to the motor pump unit in event of the liquid freezing the piston 10 is connected to the rod 9 through a spring 19. The motor may if desired be operated by a source of positive pressure, and the pump cycle may be reversed, i.e. having a discharge stroke first, followed by an intake stroke. By altering the relative sizes of passages 16, 39 any time lag between the operation of the pump motor and the diaphragm 35, may be provided. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 662,241 and 664,283.

Title: Electroviscous fluid using device
Inventor: URA TAMAKI
IPC: F16F13/00
Filed: 1992-01-06
Abstract: PURPOSE:To effectively and easily perform control by using electroviscous fluid which has high nonlinearity, grasping the characteristics of the device by learning even when the characteristics are unknown, and controlling a voltage applied to the electroviscous fluid. CONSTITUTION:In the device 11 which uses the electroviscous fluid varying in viscosity with the intensity of an applied electric field, a neurocontroller 10 controls the intensity of the applied electric field. Further, a dynamic vibration absorber is constituted by fitting the device 11 which uses the electroviscous fluid to a vibration body, and the neurocontroller 10 learns the dynamic characteristics of the vibration body and controls the voltage applied to the dynamic vibration absorber to absorb vibration. Consequently, even the electroviscous fluid using device 11 which has high nonlinearity can easily be controlled without reference to the number of inputs and outputs, and even if the characteristics of the electroviscous fluid using device 11 changes, the control is performed without reconstructing a control system because of the learning operation.
