[Class 6 (i)] [Also in Group XXI] Relates to mechanically propelled apparatus for levelling, clearing or cultivating ground, such as bulldozers, angle dozers, tree dozers, rippers, or rooters, having tools adapted to be raised and lowered,and consists in raising and lowering gear comprising an approximately vertical rotatable screw held against axial movement and engaged by a nut held against rotation and having trunnions projecting from opposite sides, the pitch being such that the screw can be turned by applying an axial load to the nut, a cable which passes over an elevated pulley being connected to the trunnions and to the tool carrying member, while the screw may be driven from the engine of the apparatus through means including an interconnected clutch and sustaining brake. An endless track vehicle has rearwardly projecting pivoted arms 11 supporting a tool carrying member 12, the vehicle being driven in reverse when the tools are in action. A bracket 15, secured to the vehicle by a face plate 25, rotatably supports a high pitch screw 13 engaged by a nut 18 with opposite trunnions from which a cable 21 passes over pulleys 20 on the bracket 15, and a pulley 22 on the member 12. The screw is connected through bevel gears 32 to a shaft 33 driven through clutch members by a driving shaft. A lever 52 when moved in one direction operates the clutch to drive the shaft 33 while when moved in the other direction, it acts to apply a brake band to the clutch; in an intermediate position, either both the clutch and brake band are free, or the clutch is free,.and the brake band is applied with reduced pressure. A gate 53 may be provided to lock the lever 52 in either of the three positions.

Title: Improvements in combustion pile drivers
IPC: E02D7/12
Filed: 1956-02-14
Abstract: 789,352. Combustion pile drivers: MENCK & HAMBROCK, GES. Feb. 14, 1956, No. 4612/56. Class 68(2) A combustion pile driver having a striking body 6 with a cylinder 17 which is slidable vertically on guide rods 3, 3 connected by upper and lower cross pieces 4, 1 and which separates itself from a piston 2 associated with the lower cross piece 1, is characterized in that the piston 2 is guided vertically in a cylinder 13 formed in the lower cross piece 1 and rests directly on a pile driver plate 5. In this manner the upper and lower cross pieces 4, 1, the guide rods 3, 3, and particularly the more sensitive mechanical parts, e.g. a fuel pump 8, no longer take part in the accelerating forces caused by combustion, these forces being absorbed by the piston alone. A collar 18 formed as a piston or the upper end of the guiding cylinder 13 and provided, like the piston 2, with one, or more, piston rings 19 forms, with the piston 2, when the cylinder 17 descends over them, an enclosed space 14 so that when the piston 2 is accelerated by the reaction force of combustion, the air in the space 14 is compressed to form. an air cushion so that the blow of the piston 2 on the collar 18 is considerably moderated. A fuel nozzle 9. in the head of the cylinder 2 is connected with the fuel pump 8 and a container 7 by means of a flexible pipe 10. The lower part of the piston 2 carries a pin 15 which prevents the piston from being drawn upwards by the piston ring friction in the cylinder 17. The pin 15 also carries a holder 16 which is connected to the pile driver plate 5.

Title: Butterfly valve
IPC: F16K1/226
Filed: 1973-05-17
Abstract: 1411652 Valves CLOW CORP 17 May 1973 4629/73 Heading F2V A resilient ring 54 forming a seat for the closure member of a butterfly valve is expanded radially by axial displacement of an annular retainer 72 when chock members 64 are rotated, each chock member having at least two sets of opposed surfaces with the distance between the surfaces of one set being less than that between those of another set. The chock is rotated by a screwdriver inserted in a slot 92 notched at 98 to indicate the set of surfaces having the minimum separation "a". If rotation of the chock to the set of surfaces having the maximum separation "d" does not produce sufficient expansion of the ring, the chock is moved into engagement with a notch 80b or 80c situated in the retainer 72 at a location nearer to the wall of a groove 38 in which both the retainer and the ring are located. The retainer may be split at 66 to permit compression during assembly, the split being of V- shape to prevent relative radial movement of the ends of the retainer once it is in position. The chocks may be located between a pair of retainers, one of which is in contact with the wall of the groove, or they may be formed without a central hub and with a circular lower flange. The retainer may be formed from two or three separate segments with interlocking ends. The valve body may be disposed vertically and the space above the closure member filled with water to test the fluid-tightness of the seat after adjustment.

Abstract: 601,003. Automatic control systems. LANGTON, B. K. WARR-. (Sauter Akt.-Ges., Fabrik Elektr. Apparate, F.). April 14, 1942, No. 4912. [Class 38 (iv)] [Also in Group XXXVIII] Temperature.-In an automatic control system in which the response of a differential relay depends on the relative values of resistances associated respectively with controlled and controlling members, both resistances are in series with the same winding of the relay, the current through the other winding, though adjustable if necessary, remaining unchanged during the control operation. As shown, a resistance 5 controlled in accordance with the outside temperature is connected in series with a resistance 51 controlled by the temperature of water in a heating system and with one winding of a differential relay 10 which controls a reversible motor acting on the valve 18 of a heat exchanger by means of which the water is heated. If desired, the motor may also control a third resistance 29 in the series circuit to prevent hunting. The law of control may be varied by adjustment of a resistance 17 in series with the other winding of the relay and by adjusting a resistance (not shown) shunting one of the temperature-controlling resistances. These may be mechanically operated as shown or of a temperature-sensitive kind.. In alternative arrangements, the primary resistance may be manually controlled and the motor may drive a pointer as well as a balancing resistance or several controls may be connected in series, e.g. wind and moisture could be taken into account in controlling a heating system. Reference is made to the use of the invention in any system in which one variable is to control another, the following variables being mentioned : temperature, moisture, pressure, speed, flow, tension and power.
