Title: Improvements in or relating to liquid brakes and carriers for ships' rudders
IPC: B63H25/34
Filed: 1936-07-09
Abstract: 477,779. Ships' steering - gear. MACGREGOR, R. July 9, 1936, No. 19029. [Class 114] In a ship's rudder assembly which includes a liquid-containing casing normally acting as a brake for the rudder stock and also forming a supporting means therefor, connections are made with pump apparatus whereby the hydraulic brake may be used as a steering mechanism. A casing 1 fixed to the deck of the ship on packing and carrying stuffing box 7, is provided with dividing vanes 11 and between these are movable vanes 3 which are keyed at 8 to the rudder stock 5. The vanes are formed with a conical middle section 10 for the purpose of assisting in taking the load of the rudder stock, and such keys may be of wedged form so as to be self tightening. The spaces between the fixed partitions are coupled by pipes 12, 13, through a valve 17 with pipes 18, 19 leading to the hydraulic pump 20. The unit 17 is double and comprises a valve 21 having a through-way passage 23 which is mounted to control a four-way passage leading to the pipe system. Within this main valve is a second valve 22 having a through-way passage 25. When the valve handles 26, 27 are turned so that the ports 23, 25 of the two valves are in line with'the ducts 17A, 17B, liquid in the main casing 1 will be byepassed between the pipes 12, 13 and the assembly functions as a liquid brake. When required for steering, the handle 27 is turned so that the valve 22 has its passage blanked from the passage 23 and according to the position of the valve 21, a steering effect may be obtained by using the pump 20. When set as shown in Fig. 4, the leads 17C, 17B and the leads 17A and 17D are respectively connected by the passages 24 so that the pump 20 delivers to the pipe 13 and thence to the vanes 3, turning the rudder to starboard. Locking devices may be provided for the handles 26, 27. Instead of providing a separate pump such as 20, the pump may be embodied in the steering column, and in that case consists of an eccentric drive on the hand steering wheel. Such pump shaft is extended and provided with a nut which is coupled to a lever, the other end of which is coupled to the pump valve. Operation of the pump thereby sets accordingly the valve for the required direction of turning. In a modification, instead of a continuous throad for the nut, there is a short thread and the nut rides off at either end and is held by a spring. Specifications 14335/07, [Class 114], and 19980 /08, [Class 69], are referred to.

Filed: 1938-06-28
Abstract: 515,728. Stockings. TAYLOR, Ltd., P., and SHAW, J. June 28, 1938, Nos. 19127 and 27281. [Class 141] [Also in Group VIII] A stocking, initially knitted in a seamless manner, has mockfashioning marks comprising tuck stitches 12 at the back of the lower leg portion, the marks in the finished stocking gradually converging towards and either merging into or terminating at or near the median line of the back of the stocking. In knitting the stocking, one or more heel and toe needles may be put out of action so that an area composed of float threads is formed. These float threads are cut out and the remaining part is joined to form a seam 11a. The mock-fashioning marks 12 are initially made on lines parallel to the median line at the back of the stocking and are caused to assume the convergent formation as the result of joining. A mock seam 11b may be formed in the upper part of the leg by lapping a needle or needles with an extra thread, so that the stocking appears to be seamed all the way up the back of the leg panel 4. To facilitate the removal of the float threads a length of adhesive strip is applied, preferably on the inside, to the float stitch area, and the adhesive strip is cut; after the joining operation, the strip material still adhering to the stocking can be readily pulled off. The mechanism for varying the needles put out of action in knitting the narrowed part of the stocking comprises a cam or cams movable into positions in which they can engage needle butts or jack butts of graduated length so as to divert the needles or jacks to a non-knitting position.

Filed: 1953-07-10
Abstract: 727,545. Delivering measured quantities of liquid. MIAG MUHLENBAU UND INDUSTRIE GES. July 10, 1953 [July 18, 1952], No. 19217/53. Class 106 (5). A device for delivering measured quantities of liquid comprises a free piston 2 and a valve 4 through which the whole of the liquid supplied to and delivered by the piston passes. Liquid passes through an inlet 14, a longitudinal groove 13, an annular groove 11, and a channel 16 to charge the space above the piston 2 which simultaneously expels the liquid beneath it through a channel 17 and a port 15. This process is reversed when an electromagnet 5 is switched off to allow the valve 4 to be displaced by a spring or gravity to a position in which liquid may enter the space beneath the piston through an annular groove 12 and the channel 17, while the liquid above the piston is expelled through the channel 16 and ports 9 and 10. A rod 6 provided with a scale 8 and a screw adjustment 18 enables the stroke of the piston to be adjusted. The electromagnet may be operated by a balance, for example, for corn which is to have its moisture content raised.

Title: Improvements in Apparatus for Dropping Bombs from Aircraft.
Inventor: STARRING ALFRED ADAM
IPC: B64D1/04
Filed: 1917-12-31
Abstract: 130,034. Starring, A. A. Dec. 31, 1917. Dropping bombs from a height.-Consists in (1) making bomb-dropping tubes of armour plate, (2) lining the tube with cushioning-material, (3) holding up the bomb in the tube by a resilient suspension capable of being severed to drop the bomb, and (4) arranging the bottom door of the tube to be opened automatically by the bomb on its release. As shown in Fig. 1, the tube 18, of nickel steel lined with Brussels carpet material 22, is attached to the frame 12 of the aircraft by split collars 14. The upper end of the tube is closed by a cap 24 fitted in place bv a bayonet-joint 36, which is then tightened by winged nuts 38. The bomb 20 is suspended by a spring 26 with a link 28 opposite a window 32 in the cap permitting access to sever the link. Rubber studs 39 in the cap limit the upward movement of the bomb. The lower end of the tube is closed by a door 58 hinged at 62 and overbalanced by a weighted arm 64, 66, which normally holds the door closed against a gasket ring 68. A lever 70 is mounted with a slot 72 on a pivot 74. One end of the lever engages an eye 78 on the weighted arm 64, and the other end is provided with rollers 82 projecting through a slot into the tube 18 beneath the bomb. When the bomb drops, on the link 28 being cut, it encounters the rollers 82 and swings the lever 70 to the position shown in dotted lines. This opens the door for the bomb, and when the bomb has passed out of the tube, the weight 66 again closes the door. Several such dropping-tubes are arranged in a row on each side of the longitudinal axis of the aircraft, the windows 32 lacing each other inwards. The bomb is filled with nitroglycerine through an opening closed by a stopper 40; this filling can be done after the bomb has been put in the tube. The lower end of the bomb is of conical shape and contains a cast frame 42. Fig. 2, which makes the bomb heavier at that end. The nitroglycerine is exploded on impact by percussion caps 52, which are struck by a firing- pin provided with a head 44 in advance of the bomb. This pin is held in place by the friction of a rubber gasket 56.

Abstract: 812,713. Cutting by fusion. ZEISS-STIFTUNG, C. [trading as ZEISS, C. [Firm of]]. June 25, 1956 [July 6, 1955], No. 19549/56. Drawings to Specification. Class 83 (4). [Also in Group XL (a)] A piece of material is "worked," e.g. by boring holes in it, by means of a beam of charged particles of which the intensity varies so as to have alternate maxima and minima in time, the "working" taking place only during the maxima so as to enable the material to cool between times of maximum intensity, so restricting the molten parts of the material to the area to be worked, the neighbouring areas remaining relatively cool. The beam of particles is preferably pulsed, the intensity between pulses being zero or a small finite value, and the pulses may be formed by (a) mechanical means such as a rotating shutter; (b) electrical means, e.g. by varying the emission of the source; (c) deflecting the beam by electrostatic deflecting plates; (d) defocusing the beam by a lens. The beam intensity may be varied during each pulse. The defocusing or deflection between pulses can be so selected as to temper the material. The beam density is constant over its cross-section and the time intervals between successive pulses are constant. The volatilized material may be made to react chemically with a gas introduced. The shorter the pulses the sharper the temperature gradient at the edge of the worked area, and the intensity and duration of the pulses are selected to obtain the desired temperature distribution over the surface to be "worked". For boring conical holes, the focusing means are adjusted to vary the cross-sectional area of the beam from pulse to pulse. For working a large zone or for working a zone at various places relative motion is set up between beam and material during irradiation or between pulses. To irradiate several objects they are successively exposed to consecutive pulses, by feeding the objects along or by deflecting the beam. There may be several pulsed beams of charged particles of different composition which impinge on the object one after the other; part of each of the beams can impinge simultaneously on the same zone. To reduce thermal stresses the object can be heated by other beams of charged particles or by electrical heating devices before, during and after working. The heating is in this case'regulated by photo-electric or thermoelectric devices. The latter devices can also automatically "regulate" the beam in dependence on the heat generated in working. For chemical effects or to obtain surface coatings on partial zones or on the entire zone, additional substances can be sputtered on between pulses or at other times.
