Title: Multi-position fluid operated actuators
IPC: F15B11/12
Filed: 1970-05-13
Abstract: 1313171 Fluid operated actuators L I R LABORATORIO ITALIANO RECERCHE SpA 13 May 1970 [14 May 1969] 23057/70 Heading F1D An actuator movable to any one of a number of positions comprises a cylinder 51, 53, 55, 57 internal stops 59, 61, 63, 65, and annular pistons 77, 79, 81 selectively urged by fluid pressure into abutment with the stops or each other, thereby to move a rod 75 to a desired position. Fluid for moving the pistons and for holding them in the desired position is admitted to the cylinder spaces through ports 67, 69, 71, 73. Thus the positions taken up by the pistons against the action of a spring 83 depends on which combination of ports is pressurized. The pistons transmit their movement to the rod 75 through enlargments 75B, 75E, 75G, 75H. The actuator is depicted in each of its positions in Figs.9-18 (not shown). A similar embodiment is described, Figs. 1-7 (not shown), wherein the actuator has only two pistons. Another two piston embodiment is described, Figs. 19-26 (not shown), the maximum and minimum separation of the pistons being controlled to give eight piston rod positions.

Abstract: 358,636. Fuel supply valves &c. SOUPAL, W., Matzelsdorf, near Neulengbach, Austria. July 31, 1930, No. 23156. Convention date, May 28. [Class 135.] Locks, applications of.-A valve combined with a lock, for use particularly in the fuel conduits of motor vehicles, consists of a rotary disc slide valve c packed against the seating by means of a cork disc s. The lock casing k of a cylindrical lock is screwed to the valve casing, as shown, and contains spring- pressed pins Z pressing the valve member on to the cork packing, and the cylinder m of the lock drives the valve by means of pins st. The rotary disc valve is recessed peripherally at b to accommodate a fixed stop pin x in the casing a whereby the movement of the valve is limited to 90‹. In the closed position of the valve with the key removed, this stop arrangement also acts to prevent the unscrewing of the lock casing k from the valve casing.

Abstract: 783,966. Retractive switches. CUTLERHAMMER, Inc. Aug. 10, 1954 [Aug. 12, 1953], No. 23199/54. Class 38 (5). The opening through a bush 16 in which the actuating lever 26 of an electric switch is free to rock about an axis as determined by the cooperation of the spherical part 34a and the shaped internal surface of the bush is sealed by a resilient washer 44 which tightly grips the waist 34d formed by a groove in the lever which lies in a plane including the rocking axis and presses against the interior surface of the bush. The groove surfaces 34b, 34c are made conical so that the edges of the resilient washer 44 are pressed against the bush surface so that they are not moved up or down by the force resulting from the bending of the washer. In the switch shown, lever 26 carries at its lower end a plunger 28 urged downward by a spring 42 into contact with a bridging member 24 which rocks about pivots formed in the edges of a U-shaped member 22b to make contact at one end or the other. Spring 42 also holds the spherical part 34a of the lever against the co-operating shaped inner surface of the bush 16. The lever 26 is constrained to rock in a fixed plane by the edges of a slot 40 in the cover 12 of casing 10. In a modification the outer periphery of the washer may be clamped between two parts of the cover, which together are bent to form a socket for the spherical part of the lever, Fig. 3 (not shown).

Abstract: 1328435 Spherical particles SOC DE FABRICATION D'ELEMENTS CATALYTIQUES 19 April 1971 [6 March 1970] 23325/71 Heading B5A [Also in Divisions C1 and G6] Spherical particles are prepared from powder by disposing cores of the powder on a vibrating screen of mesh larger than the fines of the powder but smaller than the cores and continuously dropping or projecting fines of the powder on to the cores on the screen, thereby increasing the size of the cores. The fines may be projected on to the cores by disposing the screen in a container containing the fines and subjecting the container to repeated impacts. Alternatively, the fines may be dropped on to the cores from a second vibrating screen held over the first screen. The cores may have been obtained by compacting fines of the powder e.g. to a size of 40-800  8  and a S.A. of 2 m<SP>2</SP>/g, under a pressure of 100-2000 bars, and then force screened to a predetermined size. The screening residues e.g. 10-50 Á, may be recycled to the compaction step or as fines to the spheroidization step, after pulverization if necessary.

Title: Process of and apparatus for balancing rotating machine parts
IPC: G01M1/30
Filed: 1921-09-02
Abstract: 186,799. Tesla, N. Sept. 2, 1921. Disc apparatus.-A rotor or rotating part of machinery is balanced by grinding off the excess when it is driven at a high speed, for which purpose it is mounted on a flexible shaft or upon yieldable supports and rotated, the excess material being removed by abrasion until balance is attained. As applied to the balancing of turbine rotors, a two part casing 1 encloses the rotor which is mounted on yieldable bearings 17, 18. Steam or air to drive the rotor is preheated in a coil 21, and is admitted through a pipe 16 and nozzle 14. A hole in the casing admits a grinding-wheel 3 carried on the shaft of an electric motor 4 which together with the wheel 3 can be fed in two directions at right angles as shown. The lower parts of the bearings are equipped with oil supply and discharge pipes 19, 20. A tachometer 24 is driven through worm gear 23 while a vibration indicator 27 is fitted at the other end of the shaft. This instrument comprises a needle 27 and adjustable weight fitted to the outer race of a ball bearing the inner race of which is carried on the shaft. The rotor is run at a speed which is an odd multiple or submultiple of the critical speed, and the excess material ground off until the indicator 27 reads zero. If the system is supported on one side only, the speed should be an even multiple or submultiple of the critical speed.

Abstract: 532,076. Golf clubs. DUNCAN, T. P. Aug. 16, 1939, No. 23619. [Class 132 (ii)] The head of a golf club, adjustable for loft, is provided with a projecting blade which may be selectively engaged between spacer elements loosely assembled within a frame rigid with the shaft. As shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the adjustable head 4 is carried on a stem 3 and is urged in the direction of the socket 2 by a spring. After drawing the head away from the socket a blade 17 projecting from the head is selectively inserted between a number of loose metal plates 25 retained in an arc-shaped frame 18 formed integral with the socket 2, the striking face of the club being thus capable of receiving ten different lofts. The end loose plate 26 is made of rubber to absorb shock. The engaging ends of the plates 26 and 17 may be bevelled to facilitate interpenetration. In a modification, Fig. 8, the outer faces of the plates 25 form a continuous surface to exclude sand, and the mutually contacting sides of the plates are grooved to trap any sand that may enter when adjusting the club head. To hold the club head against longitudinal movement on the stem 3 after setting the head, a spring-pressed catch 52 retracted by an external finger knob, is moved into locking position behind a nut 40 on the end of the stem. A screw 57 abutting against a shoulder on the stem limits the longitudinal movement of the head. A rubber sleeve 41 prevents dirt from entering past the sides of the nut 40.
