Title: Improvements in or relating to air supply and distributing devices
IPC: F24F13/062
Filed: 1938-11-18
Abstract: 521,601. Ventilators. KURTH, F. J. Nov. 18, 1938, No. 33642. Convention date, Nov. 23, 1937. [Class 137] In an air distributing device of the kind comprising a number of successively larger hollow flaring members open at their ends and having their smaller ends facing the air inlet, and so disposed as to provide a number of flaring passageways, one at least of the flaring members has different -portions of its smaller end spaced at different distances from the smaller end of the next adjacent member to cause differences of air flow through different portions. These differences of air flow, apart from being directional, are inwardly and outwardly through the flared passageways. Air from a conduit 10 passes through an opening 8 of semi-circular shape pivoted with the flaring members 1 to 5 between air passages a to f, vertical and horizontal plates 6, 7 bounding these passages. The lowermost part of the inner end of member 5 is in the same horizontal plane as the lowermost part of the opening 8 but as the member extends upwardly to either side of the'medial vertical plane of the device it .extends inwardly to overlap the opening (as shown at 11 in Fig. 4). Thus air flows across the lower portion of the passage f through which air is drawn in, and out through the upper portion of this passage. The members 2, 3 and 4 are arranged so that some air is distributed outwardly and some air is drawn in as shown by the arrows, but the proportion of that passing outwardly increases from the lower and medial zones to the outer and upper zones which are remoter from the medial vertical plane. The member 1 is so arranged that air passes outwardly only through the passage a. The general effect is that within the medial zone, the air flow is primarily outward at the top and inward at the bottom, and gradually lesser inwardly and greater outwardly from the bottom towards the top. At each side at the top the air flow is primarily outward, but the outward flow decreases as the medial vertical plane is approached. By this arrangement, a person standing beneath or directly forwardly, or to either side, does not experience a sensation of draught.

Title: Magnetic recording and reproducing apparatus

Abstract: 912,004. Magnetic disc-recorders. RIKEN KOGAKU KOGYO KABUSHIKI-KAISHA, and NIHON DENKI BUNKA KOGYO KABUSHIKI-KAISHA. Sept. 20, 1961, No. 33700/61. Class 40 (2). A rotary disc carrying a radially traversing transducer is held against a stationary record sheet and is characterized in that the transducer is adapted to be returned at the end of its traverse by cam means to its original starting position and automatically disconnected. The record sheet is located by pins on the top of the machine against which it is held by a flap 76. The transducer 51 is mounted on a carriage 50 arranged to slide freely and radially on a rotating plate 3 driven by a shaft 34 via a jockey-wheel 35, the carriage being traversed inwardly by engagement of a spring- loaded pin 56 thereon with a scroll in a stationary plate 41. When the pin 56 reaches the inner convolution of the scroll a rim 58a on a button 58 on the carriage 50 engages the lower lip 67a of a stationary cam 67 mounted on the fixed centre shaft 2. The rotation of the plate 3 causes the cam 67 to lift the pin 56 and swing the carriage 50 outwardly to its starting point. At the same time as the button 58 engages the lip 67a of cam 67 a ramp 57a, Fig. 14, passes beneath one end of a spring-loaded lever 62 on the plate 3, and causes its other end 62b to dip and subsequently strike the end 21a of a latch lever 21 whose hooked end 21b in the operative position retains a latch bar 10a, against a spring 13, in a position whereby the transducer circuit is energized for recording, the prior latching of the bar 10a having been effected by the pressing of a key 8a<SP>11</SP>. A play-back operation normally follows, but if it is required to stop rotation of the plate 3, a key beside key 8a<SP>11</SP> is pressed to cause another latch bar 10b, Fig. 9, to move a lever 23 so that a projection 23f thereon moves into the path of a projection 47a on the disc 3, whereby a spring- loaded latch lever 16 is moved to release a lever 29, the other end of which, Fig. 5, withdraws the jockey-wheel 35 from the driving shaft 34.

A fluid-pressure, operated liquid soap &c dispenser, comprises a diaphragm pump 20 Fig. 1, housed in a cup-shaped container 10, and connected by a flexible tube 59 to a dis pensing tube 60, adjustably positioned by a set screw 17, and by a tube 80 to a foot-operated bellows unit 70. A diaphragm 33 which divides the pump casing into pump and actuating chambers 31, 32, Fig. 2, is normally urged downwardly by a spring 55 but on application of pressure to the bellows moves upwardly to discharge liquid from the chamber 31 into the tube 59. Several applications of pressure are required to fill the tubes 59, 60 and when filled any subsequent application of pressure to the bellows dispenses a measured quantity of liquid from the tube 60, the actual quantity being determined by a flanged spring abutment plate 51 in the chamber 31. On release of the bellows suction is created in the chamber 31 and liquid at the end of the tube 60 is drawn into the tube to prevent drip, at the same time liquid from the container passes into the chamber 31 ready for dispensation on the next operation of the bellows. The bellows may contain liquid or air and in the latter case a non-return valve 79a, Fig. 5, is fitted to the bellows to allow replenishment of air. A bracket 10 on the container enables it to be hung on a wall.
