Title: Vehicle transporter
IPC: B62D13/04
Filed: 1943-04-22
Abstract: 573,151. Vehicle transporters. CHAPLIN, W. D., and CRANE, W. F. April 22, 1943, No. 6500. [Classes 78 (iii) and 78 (iv)] [Also in Group XXXI] In a vehicle transporter a platform 1, which can be tilted from loading to transporting position by hydraulic means, is mounted on two bogies 3. 3<1> so coupled together at 15 as to allow articulation about a horizontal axis and limited movement about a vertical axis. As shown, the platform is pivoted at 2 on the chassis and tiltable by a double-acting hydraulic ram 5 which is universally mounted on the bogie 3, ball-jointed at 26 to the platform 1, and operated by low and high pressure pumps 6 on opposite sides of the vehicle. A winch (not' shown) pulls the vehicle to be transported up a ramp 4 pivoted at the end of the platform and against a front anchorage 8 by means of a cable passing around rollers 9, 10, 11, while screw-adjustable scotches 12 and removable scotches 14 are provided for the front and rear of the vehicle. The front bogie carries two sets of four wheels 16, 17 and the rear bogie three sets of four wheels 18, 19, 20. The centre wheels 18 are not steered, but the wheels 17, 19, 20 are Steered, from a frame 31 pivoted at the front of the vehicle and pivotally connected to the drawbar 28, by central longitudinal links coupled through forks to rods operating arms 42, 43, 44 connected to vertical pins on the various axle shafts. For transporting damaged tanks, skid plates 23, Fig. 3; are provided supported by channel beams 24 spanning cross-beams 22 connecting the side members 21 of fhe platform 1. Operation of the pumps is not necessary for unloading a self-propelled tank since the weight of the tank causes the platform to tilt downwards once the centre of gravity of the tank has passed the platform pivot 2. Specification 569,038, [Group XXXI], is referred to.

Title: A process for the operation of switches, and a magnetic multiple switch aggregate for carrying out this process
IPC: H01H67/32
Filed: 1951-03-20
Abstract: 696,704. Automatic exchange switches. EL-RE-MA SOC. ANON. March 20, 1951 [March 20, 1950], No. 6707/61. Class 40 (iv). In a switch of the type in which sets of contacts are actuated by a switching member through intermediate operating members individual to the sets of contacts the intermediate members are secured to the cores of solenoids (one per set of contacts) which move the intermediate members into or out of the path of the switching member. As shown in Fig. 1 the core 4 of each solenoid 3 carries a leaf-spring 5 at the lower end of which a cylindrical intermediate member 6 of insulating material is fitted. With a solenoid unoperated its member 6 lies adjacent the contact springs 8 and in the path of the switching member 10. When the switching member 10 is moved to the left the portion 11 abuts against the member 6, thus operating contact springs 8. If the solenoid is operated the member 6 is raised clear of the portion 11 and movement of the switching member 10 is ineffective to operate the contact springs 8. In a modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), the intermediate members 6 are normally below the path of portion 11 and are raised into its path by the operation of the solenoids.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electrical measuring method and apparatus
Inventor: FERTIG RAYMOND BAINES
IPC: G06G7/75
Filed: 1962-02-21
Abstract: 991,027. Voltage measurement; measuring gas composition electrically. UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION. Feb. 21, 1962, No. 6731/62. Headings G1N and G1U. A method for recording individual ones of a set of quantities expressed as proportions of the sum of all of the quantities of the set, comprises the steps of applying a predetermined voltage across a set of resistances connected in series, varying each resistance proportionally to an associated one of the said quantities, and measuring and recording the individual voltage drop across at least one of the resistances as a proportion of the total voltage drop across all of the resistances. The invention may be applied to recording the data from a vapour phase chromatographic analyser. In Fig. 1 thermistors 20 and 22 in a Wheatstone bridge arrangement enable the thermal properties of a sample gas, consisting of one component of a multicomponent gas mixture which has been eluted together with an inert carrier gas from a separating column, to be compared with those of the inert carrier gas. The output of the bridge is applied to an integrating network 12 and to one pole of a five pole, three way, switch 42, which during the period when the gases elute from the column is in the position 1. This output is thus applied directly to a recorder and traces such as 24 (Fig. 2) for component A are produced. The output from the integrating amplifier operates through the vibrator switch 70 and the servoamplifier 32 so as to cause the servomotor 34 to adjust the potentiometer 36, so that the potentiometer setting corresponds to the area under the curve 24 and hence to the total volume of the gas component A. By using suitable switching arrangements in the integrating amplifier 12 and on to the servomotors, the integrating cycle is repeated for the other components so that the volumes of all are stored as settings of potentiometers. After completion of the overall cycle, the switches 62, 64, 66, 68 are switched to the Readout position, and the switch 42 to the Standardize position. This applies a voltage from the supply 40 to the overall potentiometer chain, which is adjusted by the potentiometer 46 to give a desired overall output 60 (Fig. 2) on the recorder. The switch 42 is then turned to the position 3 and the switch 50 is depressed to record pulses 74, 76 (Fig. 2) &c., indicating the potentiometer settings and hence the overall amount of each gas present in the original mixture. The adjustment of the switch 54 between each depression of the switch 50 controls which component is indicated on the record. The system may be modified so that the switching operations are carried out automatically, to carry out continuous analyses.

Abstract: 1,080,175. Seals. JOHNS MANVILLE CORPORATION. Feb. 18, 1965, No. 6969/65. Heading F2B. The sealing elements held in a metal casing 14 each comprise one or more laminates having a first ring 16 of low-friction inert synthetic material, such as fluorocarbon resin, and a second ring 18 of elastomer material which serves to urge the first ring into sealing engagement, the sealing edge being conical and forming a lip. The rings of each pair may be made of P.T.F.E. or nylon and adhered together by, for example, cementing. As the rings 16 of synthetic material wear away in operation, the material so worn off effects lubrication of the elastomer rings 18 where they bear on the shaft 42. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 7 (not shown), the casing 14 is mounted on the shaft instead of in the housing. Each pair of rings may be spaced apart. In Fig. 8 (not shown), two pairs of rings are provided, each having their lips directed in the opposite direction to the other along the shaft; an additional washer 44 is also provided. Two casings may be employed in series. Each ring may be preformed and, if desired, their cross-section may be tapered instead of rectangular.
