Title: Replacing cavity wall ties
IPC: E04G23/02
Filed: 1982-05-21
Abstract: A method of removing and replacing corroded wall ties from a cavity wall is described. One tool for removing the ties (Figure 5) is manually operated; the other tools (Figures 1 and 2) are operated by hydraulic piston and cylinder assemblies. Each tool has a pair of gripping jaws or pads (21) which grip the wall tie within the cavity after it has been located by a metal detector and one masonry element has been removed at (13) from the outer leaf of the wall. The operation of the piston and cylinder assembly which abuts against the masonry of the outer leaf causes a pulling force to be exerted on the tool which pulls the tie from the inner leaf. The tie is replaced by a substitute tie inserted in an obliquely drilled hole in the inner leaf of the wall, using a settable material. The removed masonry element is then replaced in the outer leaf, with a settable material which also serves to embed the substitute tie in the outer leaf. <IMAGE>

Title: Clamp arrangements for cooling electrical circuits
Inventor: KEAY JAMES PETER MOCHRIE
IPC: H05K7/14
Filed: 1982-06-30
Abstract: A clamp arrangement of the type disclosed in GB 2076228A for clamping a printed circuit board 1 extending between two opposed parallel walls 7a is mounted on a marginal portion 11a of the board 1 and includes a stack of slidable elements 19 within a channel member 23 extending along the marginal portion 11a.The elements 19 are maintained in a staggered configuration by a retaining member 25 extending along the channel member 23 through slots 21 in the elements 19. A lever arrangement 47 mounted on the upper portion of the board 1 causes a force to be exerted on the uppermost slidable element 19a, which is transmitted to all of the elements and gives rise to a lateral expansion of the mechanism, causing the board 1 to be driven into contact with one of the walls 7a, the web of the channel member 23 contacting the other of the walls 7a. <IMAGE>

Title: Electrical socket contact
Inventor: CORBETT GEOFFREY ROBERT
IPC: H01R13/11
Filed: 1982-07-07
Abstract: An electrical socket to receive a pin connection has a pin-receiving portion 1 formed with a base and upwardly directed side walls 3 which are spaced at 4 to define a pin- receiving channel. The base has a tongue 6 that inclines upwardly and forwardly towards the open pin receiving end of the socket. The free end of this tongue has a V-shape cut- out defining outer rounded pin contacting points I1, and an inner apex I2. An inserted pin initially engages the points I1, to provide high insertion force which then drops to a low value following deflection of the tongue 6. <IMAGE>

Title: An improvement in vehicles with resiliently mounted cab
Inventor: WADE PHILIP MALCOLM
IPC: B62D33/073
Filed: 1982-11-23
Abstract: In a vehicle with a frame 10 on which a cab 11 is resiliently mounted, such as an agricultural tractor, difficulty is experienced in actuating mechanisms on the frame from driver- operated controls in the cab. To transmit torque through a limited angle from a control 15 in the cab to a mechanism 12 on the frame in an extensible manner to accommodate relative movement between the cab and the frame, a length 20 of reinforced flexible hose is employed as a much simpler and cheaper alternative to a universally-jointed telescopic shaft, such hose being longitudinally extensible without affecting its high torsional rigidity. The hose 20 is clamped around roughened driving and driven spigots at its respective ends. <IMAGE>

Title: Cash dispensers
Inventor: DOYLE ROGER FRANCIS EDWARD
IPC: B65H29/62
Filed: 1985-06-07
Abstract: In a power-operated cash dispenser, if the power supply fails banknotes may be left in the transport system between a note store and a dispensing outlet. An auxiliary power supply capable of taking over all the functions of the principal power supply will be expensive. A cash dispenser according to the present invention includes means responsive to the failure of the principal power supply to connect a reserve battery to an auxiliary motor coupled to the note transport means to feed notes in the feed path to a diverter which guides them into a secure collector. The principal motor is disconnected from the note transport means when the note transport means is coupled to the auxiliary motor.
Patent GB-2181231-A (GB)
Title: Optical sensing arrangement
Inventor: DAKIN JOHN PHILLIP
IPC: G01K11/32
Filed: 1985-10-02
Abstract: An optical sensing arrangement for remote measurement of temperature or solution concentrations in which light derived from a source 12 at a measuring and/or detecting location is conveyed by optical fibre means 13 to a remote location where said light is plane polarised, if it is not already so polarised. At the remote location it is transmitted through an optically-active liquid (e.g. bath of sugar solution or liquid-filled optical fibre 15) which produces rotation of plane of polarisation of the polarised light. The polarised light after emerging from the optically-active liquid is applied to orthogonal polarisers 18, 19 which may be situated at the remote or at the measurement location, the polarised light or the light emerging from the polarisers being conveyed by further optical fibre means 16 from the remote location to the measurement location. Photo-detectors 20, 21 receive the light outputs from the orthogonal polarisers to generate electrical outputs which can be compared to give an indication of the degree of rotation of the polarised light produced by its passage through the optically-active liquid,which in turn is an indication of the temperature or concentration of the liquid. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A large valve for hot gases containing entrained solids comprises a chest (14), a bonnet (15) upstream and, downstream connections (11, 13) parallel guides (27) one on each side of the chest, a valve plate (26) slidingly engaged in the channels for sealing movement between a first position in which one edge (30) registers against part (29) of the chest and obturates the gas flow path and a second position in which it is located within the bonnet. The part (29) is substantially free of ridges and recesses to avoid solids accumulations thereon. A transverse sealing member (34) at the junction of the bonnet and connection 11 slidingly cooperates with the plate 26. Because the valve plate and guides are always exposed to the gases in the valve, distortion and inoperability thereof are thereby avoided. <IMAGE>
