Title: Improved remote indicating and signalling device
IPC: G01P13/00
Filed: 1941-05-17
Abstract: 549,393. Rest or motion indicators. STERN, W. May 17, 1941, No. 6371. [Class 106 (iii)] [Also in Group XXXVII] An indicating or other circuit 1 is periodically opened and closed so long as a shaft 7 is moving by means of cooperating magnetic members 6, 8 on a contact 5 and the shaft 7, but remains permanently opened when the shaft is at rest. The member 8 may be a permanent magnet the poles of which approach and move away from the armature 6 as the shaft 7 rotates so causing continuous interruption of the contacts 4, 5 and of the circuit 1. A second pair of relay contacts 11, 12 is arranged as shown but remains closed while the shaft rotates the intermittent energization of the relay coil 13 being insufficient to open them. When, however, the shaft stops, if the contacts 4, 5 happen to be closed, a continuous current will pass through the relay 13 opening the contacts 11, 12. Thus the lamp 1 will always be extinguished. A delayed action relay may take the place of the lamp 1 (Fig. 2, not shown).

Abstract: 954,952. Hydrodynamic brakes. CARL SCHENCK MASCHINENFABRIK G.m.b.H. Feb. 19, 1962 [March 24, 1961], No. 6394/62. Heading F2E. [Also in Division G1] An hydrodynamic brake for testing the power developed by an engine under predetermined conditions comprises a rotor 2 mounted on the driven shaft 1, a stator 6 having an integral hollow shaft 8 by which it is secured in a bracket 9, opposed recesses 3, 7 forming an annular series of turbulence chambers, a casing 4 secured to the rotor and surrounding the stator, a cover-plate 5 secured over the remote end of the casing 4 and provided with at least one aparture 13, and an outer fixed casing 10a 10b drained at 11. Water is supplied continuously via the hollow shaft 8 to the turbulence chambers and thence to the interior of the casing 4 where it forms a rotating ring of liquid the inner diameter of which is determined by the aperture 13, spillage from which is continuously removed by the drain opening 11, thus causing a constant braking force to be produced. The value of the braking force is adjustable by changing the cover-plate 5 for one having an aperture of different size. A hole or holes 14 allows the brake to be emptied when required. In a modification, Figs. 3 and 4, a cover-plate 45 is used having radial slots 46 which can be progressively covered so as to vary the effective size of the aperture by rotation of a plate 31 having openings arranged so as to reduce the size of the slots 46 progressively in the radial direction as the plate is rotated. The openings in the plate 31 may be arranged to reduce the size of the slots 46 in steps. Rotation of plate 31 is effected via pinions 32 which are mounted on shafts 33 journalled in the casing 4 and rotated by the engagement of further pinions 34 on the shafts 33 with a gear-wheel 37, the latter being rotated relative to shaft 1 through a sleeve having a slot 40 in which is engaged a pin 41 secured to an axially slidable sleeve operated by a fork engaging a groove 43 in the latter sleeve.

Abstract: 1,209,972. Container closures. EASTMAN KODAK CO. 9 Feb., 1968 [9 Feb., 1967], No. 6444/68. Heading B8T. A hermetically sealable container is assembled by pushing a cover 14 into a vessel 10 so that a bead 16 snaps past a retaining shoulder 11 on to a resilient band 17. At least one vent hole 13 and the resilient band co-operate to form an outlet valve so that pressure can be reduced inside the container by venting through the valve. A shoulder 12 protects the bottom of a skirt 15 from being knocked. In a modification the cover has an additional skirt (18), Fig. 2 (not shown), which co-operates with the inner surface of the container making the cover more rigid and giving a more effective seal which may be needed for different shaped vessels, e.g. rectangular vessels. The container may be exhausted after filling and closing, by placing it in an atmosphere of reduced pressure. The container and cover may be of glass, metal or polymer plastics. The band 17 may be of rubber or polyurethane.
