Title: Improvements in or relating to water seals for acetylene generators
IPC: A62C4/02
Filed: 1931-05-05
Abstract: 378,413. Water seal safety apparatus. WENTHE, F., 26, Gleisstrasse, Neu-Isenburg, near Frankfort-on-Main, Germany. May 5, 1931, No. 13273. [Class 135.] A water seal safety apparatus for acetylene generators comprises a float i connected to a gas inlet valve f located in the water space of a vessel a and to gas outlet valves m, m<1> in the gas space of the vessel and a rotatable gas distributer g. The gas ducts of the distributer are brought into and out of alignment with gas ducts leading from the inlet valve f when the distributer is raised by the float, the buoyancy of the float compensating for the dead weight attached to it to such an extent that the presence of acetylene gas from an inlet d raises the float and the pressure due to back-firing on a plate l depresses it again. In the raised position of the float, all the valves being open, gas passes from the inlet d by way of gas ducts x in segmental projections on a casing b secured to the vessel a and ducts in the wings of the distributer, through the water and gas spaces and thence through apertures n in a sleeve depending from the top of the vessel a past the valves m, m<1> to the outlet k. The wings of the distributer comprise two pairs of unequal length and their gas ducts open into the water space tangentially and at different distances from the centre of rotation so that the distributer functions as a Barker's Mill. This ensures an even distribution of gas in the water space. When the float sinks, water is propelled up between the casing b and the distributer g into the gas ducts of the latter bv vanes v. The valve m comprises an inwardly disposed flange on a sleeve carried by a plate l rigidly connected to the float, the flange engaging a collar y on the outlet pipe k. The closure m<1> consists of three intermeshing flanges, one depending from the collar y and the other two formed on the plate l. These flanges have circumferential ribs which effect a closure when the float sinks. The valve f may be conical or hemispherical.

Patent GB-133150-A (GB)
IPC: F01L13/00
Abstract: 133,150. Sjoman, K. F. Oct. 2, 1918. Reversing.-The fuel pumps are connected temporarily to different cylinders by means of a change-over member 2 adjusted manually or automatically, and reversal is then effected by advancing the ignition. The member 2 is slidable in a body 1 having passages 7, 10 connected to the fuel pumps and passages 8, 11 connected to the engine cylinders. Normally, these passages are in communication through passages 9, 12 in the member 2, but on temporary displacement of the member 2 they are cross-connected by passages 13, 14. The member 2 is displaced by means of the forked end 35 of a rod 31, which is connected by a lever 30 to the member 2 and is brought into engagement with a friction disk 34 on the crank-shaft 16 by means of a rod 36. The member 2 is thus lifted against the action of a spring 29. A spring 2<x> carried by the member 2 normally maintains the fuel-pump tappets 25, 26 in contact with a guide 28, but, when the spring 2<x> is lifted, an incline 27 on the guide throws the tappets out of action and the fuel supply ceases until the speed falls considerably. The ignition is then advanced to effect reversal, and the fork 34 is moved free of the disk 34, allowing the members 2, 2<x> to return to their original position.

Title: Improvements in weighing apparatus
IPC: G01G1/00
Filed: 1935-05-04
Abstract: 460,992. Weighing-apparatus fitted to conveyers; weighbridges. FOURNIER, F. May 4, 1935, No. 13373. Void. Convention date, May 5, 1934. [Class 143] A weighing-apparatus comprising two superimposed beams connected together at the ends by vertical rods forming therewith an articulated parallelogram is characterized by the fulcra of the beams being slightly out of vertical alignment so that a load applied to the fulcrum of the lower beam may be balanced by a comparatively small pendulum lever attached to the upper beam. In an apparatus for continuous weighing on a conveyer, a portion of the conveyer is supported, through a suitable system, by the knife-edge 5 of a beam 6 connected by rods 7 to an upper beam 8. The fulcrum 9 of the beam 8 is slightly out of vertical alignment with the knife-edge 5, the small deviation permitting a comparatively small pendulous weight 11 to be used on the beam 8 for balancing the load. The beam 8 carries a toothed sector 13 geared to a weight register or meter C. When the load comes upon the weigher the beam 8 is deflected but during this movement the weight register is unaffected owing to its previous disconnection by a cam 15 driven by the conveyer. The weight register is now coupled up by the cam, and the cam returns the beam to its initial position this movement being transmitted by the sector 13 to the weight register. The cam 15 makes one revolution whilst the conveyer advances one weighing length, the sections being thus weighed in succession. Two locking-arms 19 controlled by the cam 15 lock the beam 8 at equal and successive intervals of time to limit the registrations to the successive sections of the conveyer. The invention may be applied to weighbridges having an adding mechanism, the cam 15 then being actuated by a motor engaged and disengaged by suitable automatic mechanism.

Abstract: 1480969 Retractable door stop; magnetically operated fastenings CURTAYNE INDUSTRIES PTY Ltd 2 April 1975 13432/75 Headings E2A and E2X A retractable door stop mechanism comprises a housing 3, adapted to be set into the ground, or floor, at a desired point adjacent a door 10 to be restrained, a plunger 2 mounted in a cavity in the housing and slidable with respect thereto between a retracted position, at which the exposed top surface of the plunger is at the intended ground, or floor level, and a projecting position at which the upper portion of the plunger stands proud of the housing to provide the door stop, and first and second mutually attractive magnetic members 1, and 8 one of which is associated with the plunger 2 and moves from its retracted position to its projecting position when the other member is located close above it. According to the invention also an air vent leads upwardly to atmosphere from the cavity in the housing to allow air to pass freely between the cavity and atmosphere during the movement of the plunger which is a clearance fit in the cavity, a bias urging the plunger to its retracted position in the cavity when the housing is mounted in its operating position and a stop means 7 carrying the second magnetically attractive member and adapted to be located on the door 10 in a position so as to pass over the plunger when the door is opened and to raise the plunger, by 'magnetic attraction between the members 1, 8, to its projecting position at which is restrains further opening movement of the door. As shown, a spring 4 holds the magnet 1, with a slack fit, in the upper end of the plunger 2 and normally supports the latter with its upper surface flushwith that of a closure flap 5 screwed at 12 to the housing 3 which is secured, by screws 6, into a hole into the ground, or floor. A magnetic holder housing 7, which accommodates the second magnet 8 with an opposed pole facing the magnet 1, is secured to the door 10, the housing having a buffer 9 against which the plunger 2 can strike when the door is opened. The housing 7 may carry a drop latch, not shown, and the housing 3 may include extra venting openings in the form of part-circular recesses in the inside rim of the cap 5, and a hole and a channel 11 in the side of the plunger. The plunger 2 may be lubricated, e.g., with molybdenum disulphide. The stop mechanism, which may be made of non- rusting material, e.g. stainless steel, brass, and plastics such as polypropylene, except the magnets 1, 8 which can be ceramic permanent magnets, can be overridden by holding down the plunger 2. One, or both, magnetic members may be electromagnetic and controlled by switching. A number of magnetic members or a magnetic member of greater area than the magnetic member 1 in the plunger, may be incorporated in the housing 7.
