Title: Improvements in and relating to vehicles
IPC: B60P1/64
Filed: 1947-01-16
Abstract: 620,378. Loading vehicles. McALPINE, R., and TOWNEND, W. T. Jan. 16, 1947, No. 1546. [Class 78 (iv)] [Also in Group XXXII] The platform 8 of a vehicle can be raised from or lowered to the ground on the tilting of its supporting wheeled end-carriages 2, by a jack 45 or other means which effects the controlled rotation of one, or a number of parallel, levers 37 which connect each end of the platform to its associated carriage ; such levers are pivoted to the carriage on a transverse axis 38 parallel to and spaced from the tilting axis and also pivoted on a similar axis 40 to the carriage. Each end-carriage 2 supports a frame 6 carrying a pair of rigid, downwardly-extending arms 7 to each of which is pivoted, on the transverse axis 38, a lever 37. The lower ends of the lever 37 are connected by a transverse shaft 40 which at its ends carries rollers 41, while the upper ends are connected by a shaft 42 which at its middle is secured to the ram 44 of the hydraulic jack 45. Each end of the platform 8 terminates in a pair of vertical standards 46, the foot of each being formed as a ramp 50. The rollers 41' engage in part circular recesses 49 formed in the side walls of the standards, and are secured there by pivoted hooks 51 which are adapted partly to encircle them. Pins 53, which can be pushed out by a hand lever and toggle links, prevent inadvertent release of the hooks 51, and removable shear pins 36 prevent inadvertent pivoting of the lever 37. When the ram 44 is retracted, by any suitable source of fluid pressure, the lever 37 is pivoted, the carriage 2 tilts about its axis 4 and the platform is lowered to the ground, when it can be detached from the end carriages.

[Class 17 (i).] Pulling- over.-Relates to machines of the kind described in Specification 12304/03, [Class 17, Boots &c.], wherein a pair of coupled grippers is provided at each side of the toe, and consists in means for imparting an additional stretching movement to the grippers nearer the heel end. The toe-ward and heel-ward grippers 1, 3, respectively, are connected by an equalizing link 4 as described in the prior Specification. The usual cam-operated updraw lever 7 is provided for each side, and a supplementary hand control therefor is provided somewhat similar to that described in Specifications 1866/12 and 309,461, [both in Class 17 (i), Boots and shoes, Apparatus for making &c.]. This comprises a handle 53 actuating a pinion gearing with a segment secured to a rock shaft 19 controlled by a dashpot and carrying a yoke 31 having members 55 engaging the two updraw levers, the yoke being integral with a stub shaft 29 freely rotatable about its own axis. Behind each member 55 the arms of the yoke carry a rotatable pin 33 bifurcated to house the lower end of a pivoted pawl 39 urged clockwise by a spring plunger and apertured to engage over a rod 43 connected to a lug 147 on the slide block which closes and tensions the rear gripper. Normally, the handle 53 is urged upwardly by a spring so that the pawls 39 engage stops carried by the updraw levers. The handle 53 may control the power updraw as usual, through the medium of the lugs 55. At the conclusion of this operation, the handle may be depressed to apply increased tension to the upper held by the rearward grippers, the pawls 39 binding on the rods 43 as yoke 31 swings counterclockwise. Handles 63 on the two sides of the shoe enable the yoke 31 to be moved about the shaft 29 if it is required, for example, to centralize the vamp of the shoe on the last. The construction also allows the grippers to be manoeuvred along the shoe for tip straightening, if desired. Specifications 16398/15 and 150,424, [both in Class 17 (i), Boots and shoes, Apparatus for making &c.], also are referrec. to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to three phase magnetic cores
IPC: H01F27/25
Filed: 1948-01-19
Abstract: 637,142. Making magnetic cores. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. Jan. 19, 1948, No. 1608. Convention date, Jan. 18, 1947. [Class 83 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXV] A magnetic core comprises at least one multiturn spiral member of magnetic material and at least one laminated leg member formed of magnetic strip material, at least some of the leg lamination ends being interleaved between the spiral member turns. Fig. 1 shows a 3- phase core comprising three straight legs 1, 2, 3 having alternately long and short laminations and yokes 4, 5 interleaved with the ends of the long laminations of the legs at spaced parts of the turns. The yokes are formed by winding a long strip of magnetic material with short spacers placed between the turns at three symmetrically-spaced locations separated by 120 degrees. When the yokes are completed and the spacers removed, the spaces between the turns thus provided accommodate the ends of the long laminations of the legs. The legs have a cruciform cross-section and the interleaved joints between the yokes and the legs are also cruciform in section. Fig. 5 shows a modified form in which the leg portions 13, 14 are combined with a U-shaped member 15. The loop with legs 13, 14 is formed by winding a long strip of magnetic material with spacers inserted between the turns at two opposite ends after which it is then cut into lengths of, say, two turns each. This loop is assembled by lacing the cut pieces through coils 16, 18 after which the member 15 is inserted in a winding 17 by lacing its individual laminations through the window of the winding 17.

Title: Improvements in the destructive hydrogenation of carbonaceous materials
IPC: C10G1/06
Filed: 1929-01-17
Abstract: 329,688. Johnson, J. Y., (I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.-Ges.). Jan. 17, 1929. Materials for purifying.-The waste gases passing from a destructive hydrogenation after removal of condensible products therefrom are purified under the pressure of the reaction by treating them with agents taking up hydrogen sulphide for such a period of time that the purified gases contain less than 0.3 per cent of hydrogen sulphide by volume, and may be returned to the reaction. Solid or liquid absorption or adsorption agents may be used, e.g. water, oils, cyclohexane, hydrogenated naphthalene, pentanol, butanol, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform, benzene, chlorobenzene, oil fractions obtained by destructive hydrogenation and boiling between 180-350‹ C., alkalies, ammonia, ferric hydroxide. Several absorption agents may be used in series or the agent may be allowed to act for a long time. An agent having a high rate of absorption may be followed by one having a slower rate, e.g. a silica gel having large pores followed by a silica gel having small pores. The liquid solvents may be regenerated by passing gases through them. Specifications 296,429 and 302,629, [both in Class 32, Distilling &c], are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to gyratory crusher
Inventor: BECKER GEORGE D
IPC: B02C2/06
Filed: 1954-01-22
Abstract: 739,348. Gyratory crushers. ALLIS-CHALMERS MANUFACTURING CO. Jan. 22, 1954, No. 2016/54. Class 59. [Also in Group XXIX] In a gyratory crusher, the inner crushing member 2 is supported for axial movement relative to the outer crushing member 3 by means of a piston 15 displaceable in a chamber 16 filled with fluid at predetermined pressure to support the inner crushing member in a predetermined axial position, an accumulator 24 being connected to the chamber 16 by means of conduits 31, 32 and having a piston 25, 26 which is biased by means of a fluid chamber, or a spring, Fig. 2 (not shown), under a pressure which is less than the predetermined pressure of the fluid in the chamber 16 so that the accumulator, on expansion of the chamber 16 caused by upward movement of the inner crushing member, supplies fluid to the chamber 16 to maintain it filled with fluid at a pressure insufficient to support the inner crushing member but sufficient to retard the movement of the inner crushing member back to its predetermined axial position during which movement fluid is gradually returned to the accumulator from the chamber 16. The chamber 23 is provided with a stop 28 for the piston 25, 26 during normal crushing conditions. Preferably, a flow regulator 34 is interposed between the accumulator 24 and the chamber 16 and comprises a spring-biased valve 36 which opens, when the chamber 16 expands, to allow free flow of fluid to the chamber 16 and closes, when the pressure in the chamber 16 exceeds that in the accumulator 24, fluid then flowing slowly back to the accumulator through a passage 41 and orifice 42 controlled by a needle valve 38. The chamber 16 is connected by means of a conduit 43 to an overload accumulator 44 into which liquid is forced from the chamber 16 upon abnormal increases of pressure in the crushing zone. The chamber 16 is also connected by means of a pipe 46 to a fluid reservoir 47, a hand pump 48 being provided in the pipe 46 for adjusting the distance between the crushing members.

Patent GB-432426-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to thermionic oscillators
IPC: H03B5/10
Filed: 1934-01-23
Abstract: 432,426. Valve generating circuits; thermionic valves. TYERS, P. D., 7, Devereux Drive, Watford, Hertfordshire. Jan. 23, 1934, No. 2332. [Classes 39 (i) and 40 (v)] The frequency of a valve oscillator is maintained constant by the use of a valve having a high filament emission, which is reduced to the current required for the production of oscillations by the provision of a grid 3, Fig. 3, adjacent to the cathode 2 and held at a fixed negative voltage. This may be provided by a battery 4 or potentiometer, or by a resistance in the anode-cathode circuit. The cathode may be directly or indirectly heated. The valve may be caused to oscillate by a back-coupling between the anode circuit 12 and a grid circuit 11. A further grid may be arranged next the anode and connected directly to the cathode or to a low negative voltage. The valve may oscillate by virtue of secondary emission from the anode picked up by a highly-positive grid, the anode circuit being tuned. When used for frequencychanging in a superheterodyne wireless receiver, the innermost grid 3, Fig. 7, is held negative by connecting it to the end of a resistance 7 in the cathode lead, the next two grids 22, 23 generate the local oscillation, the signal input grid 27 is surrounded by a screen 29, a suppressor grid is connected to the earth lead 31 or to the cathode, and the anode circuit includes a circuit 33 tuned to the beat frequency. The cathode should have a copious emission and the negative bias should allow only a small fraction of the emission to reach the control grids. Variations in cathode emission and in electrode voltages will not materially affect the frequency.
