Title: Device for lifting the body of a vehicle
IPC: B60P1/14
Filed: 1975-05-23
Abstract: 1514948 Tipping mechanisms X M J A PEYRE 23 May 1975 22884/75 Heading B7B In a device for lifting a body 4 on a vehicle in which a platform 8 is pivoted to a support 7 adapted to be mounted on a vehicle chassis, a post 10 pivoted at its bottom end to the support slidably supports a sleeve 32 connected to the platform 8. A winch 9 secured on the platform 8 is operated to draw in a cable 38 passing over a pulley 27 at the top of post 10 and connected to a nose portion 34 of the sleeve 32. A pin may be inserted through aligned holes in the post and sleeve for holding the platform in a sloping position when it is then possible to secure the hook 39 of the cable on to a flange of the body 4 which may be lowered on rollers down a ramp at the rear of the vehicle. The reverse procedure may be carried out for pulling a body from the ground on to the platform 8.

Filed: 1928-08-08
Abstract: 308,563. Ruth-Aldo Co., Inc., (Assignees of Soie de Chatillon Soc. Anon.). March 23, 1928, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. Apparatus for making filaments. - A dry-spinning cell is constructed with a section E, enclosing a nozzle A, in which the atmosphere is stagnant and contains a high concentration of solvent vapour, a middle section C traversed by a current of air in the opposite 'direction to the filaments, and a section T in which the atmosphere is stagnant and contains a low concentration of solvent vapour. Hot, relatively dry air admitted by a pipe M rises through a distributing plate O into the section C and is withdrawn through an annular passage H and pipe L. The temperature in the section C is maintained by a heating jacket V. The section E carries a port G so constructed as to avoid loss of solvent vapour when the port is opened, the port being associated with aspirating means which are inoperative when the port is closed. The section T has similar ports R, S. The filaments leave the cell through an adjustable orifice.

Abstract: 240,157. International General Electric Co., Inc., (Assignees of Allgemeine Elektricitõts Ges.). Sept. 20, 1924, [Convention date]. Cut-out arrangements. - In the protection of more than two parallel connected lines 1, 2, 3 by means of wattmeter type relays b<1>, b<2>, b<3> one for each line, one winding of each relay carries a current proportional to the difference between the current flowing in its own line and that flowing in another line, while the other winding carries a current proportional to the difference between the current flowing in its own line and that flowing in a third line. If J1, J2, J5 are the (normally equal) currents flowing in the three lines, the relay windings are so interconnected with one another and with the current transformers a1, a2, a3, as shown, that the distribution of currents in the windings is that indicated in Fig. 1. Normally there is no torque on any of the relays but, in the event of fault on any one of the parallel lines, its corresponding relay, and that only, is operated to trip the corresponding circuit-breaker. In order to obtain discriminating protection for the finally remaining pair of parallel feeders, the circuit-breakers are arranged to cut out their relay windings and current transformer windings when they trip and to cut in a differential or other known protective connection k by opening the switch h, as shown in Fig. 3.

Filed: 1920-08-07
Abstract: 172,368. Variable Speed Gear, Ltd., and Ingoldby, M. K. Aug. 7, 1920. Hydraulic transmission of power; liquid-pressure engines.-In a variable-stroke hydraulic pump or motor of the kind having a movable stroke-controlling member adjustable by mechanism including non-reversible or self-locking gearing, means under the control of the pressure in the pump or motor system are provided to prevent undue hand adjustment of the stroke-controlling member and to vary it automatically through the non-reversible gearing when the pressure rises above a certain point. In the form shown, the pump A comprises an inclined disc for actuating the plungers, the disc being adjusted to vary the stroke by means of a nut and a screw threaded rod A<2> operated by a hand lever D through a rack C and gear wheels b, b<1>, a<2>. A fixed piston B in a movable cylinder B<1> controlled by a spring B<3> is exposed on one side to the pressure side of the pump and on the other to the suction side so that the position of the cylinder B' varies with the pressure. The rack C carries two stops C<1> in the line of movement of the cylinder to limit the hand-adjustment of the stroke-controlling member, and enable the cylinder B<1> to adjust the stroke member when the pressure in the system exceeds a certain limit. The cylinder B' may be fixed and the piston movable. If the hand-lever D is intended to be locked, a spring is interposed between it, and the rack C to permit the automatic adjustment. In another form the rod A<2> is operated through bevel gearing. The pressure-balancing means described in Specification 172,070 may be associated with the stroke-varying member.

Title: A new or improved machine for mechanically sealing envelopes and the like and affixing the stamp thereto
IPC: B43M5/04
Filed: 1919-09-22
Abstract: 155,052. Cardwell, T. Sept. 22, 1919. Closing envelopes.- The envelopes are placed in an adjustable hopper 12 flap downwards so that the flap is engaged by the front a of a reciprocating carrier 16 on its forward journey. The flap is pressed by a roller 25 upon a moist pad 21 on the carrier. A roller 28 is connected by a lost motion with the carrier and in the extreme forward position moves clear of a spring-pressed gripper 35. As the carrier recedes, the envelope is detained by the gripper until the latter is depressed by the roller taking up the motion of the carrier, when the roller presses upon the flap of the envelope and closes it. Spring fingers 34 then cause the envelopes to fall upon an inclined wall 38 and to be placed in an upright position parallel to a pad 40. The latter is carried by a sliding rack 41. The wall 38 is reciprocated by a handle 17, by means of which the whole of the mechanism is operated, and as the closed envelopes accumulate the rack is pushed out against the tension of a spring. Stamp-applying.-This is done during the flapclosing action of the roller 28. The stamps are in strip form on a spool 43 and are fed forward by fingers 45 carried by a saddle piece 46, Fig. 6, reciprocated by means of a lever actuated by the wall 38. The affixing is effected by a presser 54 carried by a yoke 55 pivoted at 56. The foremost stamp is supported by a plate 53 which is moved aside prior to the descent of the presser; when this occurs the stamp is pressed upon a moist pad 66, which is then withdrawn and the further descent of the presser applies the stamp to the envelope beneath. An arm 60 bearing a cutter 64 continues to descend against the pressure of a spring 62 and the strip is severed, being held by a claw 65 on one side and by the envelope on the other. A handle 81 is provided to enable the stampaffixing device to be put out of action when it is not required by interrupting the mechanical connexion between the shaft 20 about which the handle 17 moves and the arm 60. Automatic means for putting the stamping device out of action unless an envelope is in position on the carrier comprises a plunger adapted to pass into a gap in the edge of the carrier in its furthest forward position. If an envelope is in position to back the plunger the mechanism is engaged but not otherwise.

An apparatus for determining the bearing of a source of radio waves comprises two fixed aerials which feed a summing device, the signals being cyclically shifted in relative phase and passed to two phase sensitive detectors, further fed with reference phase potentials, which feed a device to indicate the direction of reception. Signals received on aerials 1, 2, have a certain phase difference due to their angle of incidence α and are further cyclically shifted in phase by a phase shifter 6. The resultant signals are fed to a summing circuit 5 which gives an amplitude modulated wave. A demodulator 11 feeds phase sensitive detectors 12, 13 which are also fed with voltages from unit 7 which is synchronized with the phase shifter 6. The signals from the detectors 12, 13 are proportional to the phase difference between the waves on the aerials 1, 2, and unit 14 indicates this value. A phase shifter may be provided in each path between the aerial and the summing circuit 5 to give signals in these paths equal but opposite cyclic phase shifts.
