Filed: 1947-08-08
Abstract: 650,944. Resilient mountings; preventing lateral canting. MONROE AUTO EQUIPMENT CO. Aug. 8, 1947, No. 22004. Convention date, Feb. 14, 1940. [Classes 108(ii) and 108(iii)] In a stabilizer, for a motor vehicle and of the type having a torsion bar mounted on either the sprung or unsprung assembly of the vehicle for rocking movement and having arms extending laterally from the bar at points spaced longitudinally thereof and connected to the other assembly to resist relative deflection of the vehicle suspension springs at opposite sides of the vehicle, the torsion bar is directly connected between the sprung and unsprung assemblies by means which include a block of resilient material in which the torsion bar is received and a pair of companion bracket members mounted upon the sprung assembly in position and manner to firmly clamp the block between them and secure the block under compression against the bar. In the arrangement shown, a section 21, Fig. 1, of a torsion bar stabilizer 20 extending transversely of a sprung assembly 10 of a vehicle chassis and having laterally extending arms 22 connected to an unsprung assembly 11, is mounted at each side of the assembly 10 in a rubber or the like block 23, held in compression by a pair of co-operating substantially U-shaped members 26 and 27, Fig. 3, secured to the assembly 10. The blocks 23 may be bonded to the bar 20. The ends of the blocks, when under compression, extend beyond the U- shaped members 26, 27, and the inner ends co-operate with abutments 40, Fig. 1, secured to the section 21 of the bar 20 to prevent endwise displacement of the bar relative to the unsprung assembly 11. The free end of each arm 22 of the bar 20 is mounted in compression in a rubber block rigidly secured in a housing 34 to the unsprung assembly 11. The rubber block may be bonded to the arm 22. In a modification, Fig. 6, (not shown), the width of the blocks 23 is increased and the mounting of the bar 20 is offset from the axis of the blocks to permit substantial fore and aft .shifting movement of the bar 20 relative to the assembly 10. The resiliency of the blocks may be increased by the provision of openings formed therethrough on the side of the bar facing the arms 22. Specification 628,076, is referred to.

Title: Strap feed and tension mechanisms
IPC: B65B13/22
Filed: 1972-05-11
Abstract: 1357480 Training and securing straps around packages SIGNODE CORP 11 May 1972 [11 June 1971] 22181/72 Heading B8C [Also in Division F2] In a strap feed and tensioning mechanism in which, having fed a plastics strap 10, the drive to two wheels 22, 24 is reversed to produce the required tension in the strap (which surrounds a package (16)), the strap is allowed to run spaced from the serrated periphery of the slower turning wheel 24, in the feeding direction, by contact with a member 30, and is prevented from slipping, during tensioning, by being pressed by the member against this periphery. On reversing the drive, the faster wheel 22 takes up the slack in the strap loop until a predetermined initial tension in the strap causes a slipping clutch to slip, whereafter wheels 22 and 24 rotate in synchronism to re-wind the strap. A solenoid 58 is actuated, in response either to the slowing of wheel 22 or to the slipping of the clutch, so as to tension member 30 against the periphery of wheel 24, as arm 38 is turned into the dotted line position. Rollers (42a) of member 30 have flanges (50) which, in the absence of a strap 10, contact ledges (50) and thus hold the bodies of the rollers clear of the serrated surface to prevent them from being damaged, in the event of an inadvertent energization of solenoid 58.

Patent GB-630528-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of artificial filaments, films, and the like
IPC: C08L1/10
Filed: 1947-08-12
Abstract: Filaments, films and the like are made from compositions comprising both a saponifiable cellulose ester and a poly-4-amino-1.2.4-triazole acylated with a mono-functional acylating agent.  The materials treated may be saponified to yield a product which has an affinity for direct cotton colours as well as for acid wool colours.  The hydrolysing agent may be caustic soda or potash, trisodium phosphate or a strong organic base.  An example is given of the production of a spinning solution comprising cellulose acetate and poly-4-amino-octamethylene - 1.2.4 - triazole which has been acylated with formic acid.  Separate solutions of these ingredients in formic acid are mixed and then poured into water. The precipitate is dissolved in acetone and this solution is dry spun.  After treatment with aqueous caustic soda the yarn showed a good affinity for acid wool colours; dispersed insoluble dyes and soluble colours which are normally used for cellulose acetate; and for cotton colours.  The Provisional Specification also describes the use of compositions comprising other cellulose derivatives or other polymers which have little or no affinity for acid wool colours, and acylated polytriazoles, preferably acylated poly-4-aminotriazoles.  The polytriazoles and polyaminotriazoles may first be treated with reagents such as acrylic ester to render them soluble in acetone. Specifications 612,609, 613,020 and 613,497 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to single-sideband transmitters
Inventor: BOWERS STANLEY HOWARD
IPC: H03C1/60
Filed: 1962-06-12
Abstract: 972,389. Single sideband amplitude modulators; automatic phase control systems. MINISTER OF AVIATION. June 7, 1963 [June 12, 1962], No. 22490/62. Drawings to Specification. Headings H3A and H3R. In an SSB transmitter, a master oscillator is by a phase-locked loop including a frequencychanging stage, controlled to follow in phase, by a phase discriminator, the instantaneous phase modulation of the SSB carrier after limiting, then its output amplitude modulated by the detected amplitude modulation of the SSB carrier. The output may be therefore adjusted in frequency, continuously or in steps, by adjusting the frequency changer local oscillator or selecting one of several crystalcontrolled local oscillators. The detected amplitude modulation may be adjusted in phase by a network before application to the modulation state, e.g. a Class C type, preceded by a Class C carrier amplifier. If the SSB carrier is derived by a filter from a balanced modulator and since the master oscillator will not then be locked to any carrier during absence of modulation, a small carrier frequency component may be included in the output of the SSB filter; or a low amplitude tone signal in the centre of the speech band may be continuously present in the modulation input.
