Abstract: 1,103,571. Jet propelled aircraft. BRISTOL SIDDELEY ENGINES Ltd. 27 Oct., 1964 [28 Oct., 1963], No. 42413/63. Heading B7G. [Also in Division F1] In a by-pass turbine engine or ducted fan turbine engine, branch outlets are provided in the by-pass or fan duct and in the jet pipe, each such outlet being associated with a valve movable between a position in which it closes the outlet and a position in which it diverts the bypass or fan air or turbine exhaust through the outlet. The engine also has auxiliary combustion equipment 19, 20, in the by-pass or fan duct and may have reheat equipment 41 downstream of the turbine. The engine shown is a bypass engine with two branch outlet ducts 22 leading from the by-pass duct 16 to rotatable nozzles 23, and two branch outlet ducts 27 leading from the jet pipe 13 to rotatable nozzles 28. The nozzles 23, 28 are rotated in unison by a motor and the branch outlets are closed and opened by valves 25, 30. The by-pass branch outlet valve 25 comprises a series of overlapping plates (Fig. 5, not shown) hinged at their downstream ends (25a) and pivoted by threaded sprockets (25d) engaging screws (25e) and being driven by a chain encircling the engine. The valves 30 comprise parts of cylinders pivoted about a vertical axis by a jack 32. When the valves are in the closed position, the by-pass and exhaust flow passes to the final nozzles 17, 14 respectively, the former being variable in area by flaps 17a controlled by axial movement of a shroud 18. In another embodiment (Fig. 12, not shown) an aft fan engine is used, the fan blades being mounted on the turbine blade tips. The by-pass or fan duct and the jet pipe may each have a single branch outlet located at the bottom of the engine, and doors may be arranged to cover these branches.

Rotor arms 26 are arranged along the shaft, with spigots 27 bearing hammers 28. The spigots 27 are arranged on the circumference of a cylinder coaxial with the screen 10, and thus the outer faces of the rotor arms 26 remain equidistant from the screen 10. Ground material leaves via an outlet 30. Impellers 29 throw material supplied via inlets 5 and 6 towards the screen for comminution by the hammers. The mill is driven, e.g. by pulley 22, or separate motors may be used with the pulleys 22, 23 to drive the mill at different speeds for different products.

Abstract: 1,121,568. Valves. NIPPON DENSO CO. Ltd. 23 Sept., 1966, No. 42632/66. Heading F2V. [Also in Division F1] An I.C. engine extra-air device with a valve 20 opened by intake pipe suction when the throttle valve is suddenly closed is provided with a non-return valve 7 in its outlet which closes upon a blow-back in the intake pipe. The valve 20 is actuated by a diaphragm 9 provided with openings 15 controlled by a flexible disc 17 and a bleed orifice 16. During normal operation of the throttle valve the intake suction transmitted through pipe 18 is operative in both chambers 13, 14 due to orifices 15 remaining open. When the throttle valve is suddenly closed, the increased suction causes flap 17 to close orifices 15 and diaphragm 9 opens valve 20 to admit extra air to the inlet pipe through outlet 3. When the pressure equalizes through orifice 16, valve 20 recloses.

[Also in Division B3] A strip of coaxially aligned screws 70 is formed by upsetting threaded stock 72 at spaced intervals. The stock is fed through a hollow mandrel 12 having a threaded bore portion 18 and which is rotated by a pulley 46 to advance the stock forwardly into chamber 34 between two-part dies 20 and against an abutment. Dies 20 are biased to open position by springs (82), (84), Fig. 5 (not shown). After stopping its rotation, mandrel 12 together with the stock is then moved forwardly by a cam surface 52 on platen 54 to upset the head (74), Fig. 4 (not shown), within the chamber 34. During this operation the dies 20 are closed by abutments (56), (58), Fig. 4 (not shown), depending from the platen 54. Two sets of knives 26, 32 are also actuated by abutments to form shear points (76), Fig. 1 (not shown), adjacent the heads. A locking protuberance may also be formed on the underside of the screw head. The strip is of particular use in automatic or power driven screwdrivers.

Abstract: 436,039. Record - card controlled statistical machines. REMINGTON RAND, Inc., 465, Washington Street, Buffalo, New York, U.S.A. Oct. 13, 1934, No. 29386. Convention date, Oct. 14, 1933. [Class 106 (i)] Column-spacing.-A statistical machine has, between the hole-analyzing pins and the parts to be controlled thereby (stop-basket and adding sectors), transmission means consisting of members 1 actuated by the analyzing pins and members 2 actuating the parts (stops in the stop-basket &c.) to be controlled, and means 6 for connecting one or more of the members 1 with one or more of the members 2 so that one analyzing pin may control one or more parts (stops) of the machine. The members 1 and 2 are arranged in pairs, the lower end 3 of each member being adapted to be lifted by an analyzing pin and the upper end 4 of each member 2 being adapted to raise a stop controlling the position of the corresponding adding and printing sector. A connector bar 6 has one or more lugs 9 co-acting with the lower edges 10 of openings 5 in members 1 and one or more lugs 11 coacting with the upper edges 12 of similar openings 5 in the members 2. When inserted in position, each bar 6 passes also through slots 7, 7a in the fixed frame 8. If, say, a bar 6 with one lug 9, and three lugs 11 is used, the analyzing pin and member 1 rock the bar 6 through lug 9 until its end meets the upper edge of slot 7<a>, or 7 ; thereafter, the other end of the bar 6 is rocked and the lugs 11 raise three members 2 to actuate three stops. A bar 6 may have one lug 11 and several lugs 9 so that several analyzing pins control one stop in common ; also several bars 6 may be used simultaneously. By offsetting the members 1 and 2 as shown at 14 an analyzing pin in one column may control a stop in another column.

Abstract: 979,504. Counters. PARKINSON COWAN Ltd. Nov.29, 1961 [Dec, 19, 1960] ,No.43614/60. Heading G4D. Readings of a gas meter can be obtained at a remote position by applying a series of electric pulses to the meter so as to set it to a zero or other predetermined position. The motor drives a counter 17 through a stuffing box, Fig. 1, or a magnetic coupling, the drive shaft 24 oscillating a spring-influenced lever 16 to advance the lowest order numeral wheel 10a of a counter. When the meter is read pulses are fed to magnet 42 to oscillate the arm 16 until a bar 54 enters slots 52 of all the numeral wheels, so opening contacts 44, 46. The number of pulses required is the complement of the reading. As an alternative the highest numeral wheel may have more than one slot 52 to reduce the number of pulses required. Modification, Fig. 4. The drive shaft 24 oscillates lever 80 to remove detent 84 at the same time as pin 30 advances tooth 10t At reading, solenoid 42 oscillates lever 16 which therefore oscillates lever 80 a greater distance whereby the tail 88 of lever 80 steps the numeral wheel backwards. The pulses are registered on a counter which prints the result.

When the cover is raised, a torsion spring raises the arm to release the pressure. The plate 20 is cut out to accommodate the belt 32 and pad 35, and has a laterally extending portion overlying a zone where there are a pair of microswitches to ensure that the pile, even when only one sheet is left, engages the switches to signal the processing-machine that the feeder is ready for use. The plate is cut away so as not to itself engage the switches when the pile is exhausted.
