Abstract: 922,965. Aircraft beacon lights. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Sept. 29, 1961 [Oct. 28, 1960], No. 37151/60. Class 75 (4). [Also in Group XXXVIII] In a lamp arrangement for providing an observer approaching a location with an indication of his position relative to an approach plane passing through the location, particularly for guiding aircraft in to land, the colour of the light the observer sees changes as he crosses the plane. In Fig. 1 each half of the beam of light from a lamp 1 on either side of a plane 3 is filtered by axially spaced red filters 4, 5. As the observer goes from A-B he sees only red light, from B-C red and white light until at C he sees white light only, the light remaining white from C-D in spite of filter 4 as the intensity of white light is much greater than that of the red. Opaque screens 6, 7 cut off the upper and lower edges of the light beam. The apparatus of Fig. 2 (not shown) comprises a rectangular casing with two red filters placed at opposite ends. In Fig. 3, casing 10 houses opaque louvres 17, a light-spreading glass plate 16 and red filters 20, 19.

Abstract: 984,334. Folding paper &c. K. H. HONSEL. Sept. 24, 1963, No. 37593/63. Heading B6H. In a method of folding portions of paper, cardboard, plastic material, or the like by a knife cylinder and a gripper cylinder, when the folding knife 24 has reached its maximum depth of penetration into the opened grippers 28, the knife is radial to the axis 29 of the gripper cylinder, and is controlled by gearing so that until completion of the folding operation it always remains in a position directed radially to the axis of the gripper cylinder. In a modification, the grippers 28 are controlled by gearing instead of the folding knife 24, whereby the knife-receiving gap therein is directed radially of the knife cylinder. As shown in Fig. 4, the knife 24 has been gradually turned so that it is still directed towards the axis 29 and can slide without friction from between the closing jaws 28, 28a at the completion of the folding operation. The shaft 3 of the folding knife cylinder is rotatably mounted in bearings in side-plates 1, 2, and levers 8, 9 secured to the shaft have bearings in which a second shaft 10 is rotatably mounted. A lever 13 pinned to the shaft 10 carries a roller 15 which can roll on a fixed cam disc 16. Two toothed segments 17, 17a secured to the shaft 10 can engage toothed segments 18, 18a, respectively, which are secured to levers 19, 20 rotatably mounted on the shaft 3. The levers 19, 20 carry a shaft 23 on which the folding knife 24 is secured, and the shaft 23 is secured to a lever 25 which carries a roller 26 which co-operates with a fixed cam disc 27. Thus, when the shaft 3 rotates, the shaft 23 is rotated about the axis of the shaft 3 by the segments 17 . . . 18a, the cam disc 27 rocks the shaft 23 and the knife 24, and a further rocking of the shaft 23 bodily about the shaft 3 is imposed by the cam disc 16, so that the folding knife 24 is rocked.

Abstract: 351,896. Aeroplane landing gear. MESSIER, G. L. R. J., 29, Avenue LÚon Gambetta, Montrouge, Seine, France. Dec. 22, 1930, No. 38532. Convention date, Dec. 23, 1929. [Class 4.] An aeroplane landing gear is connected to the ends of a beam pivoted near the centre of gravity of the machine or connected to a hydraulic system balanced about the centre of gravity. Means for retracting the gear during flight may be provided. Fig. 6 shows wheels R<1>, R<2> or pairs of wheels side by side, connected to a beam B pivoted at A near the centre of gravity G. A spring S keeps the beam in normal position during flight. Alternatively the wheels may be connected to pistons P<1>, P<2>, Fig. 7, in cylinders interconnected by a passage D and containing oil or compressed air, the diameters of the cylinders being inversely, proportional to their distances from the centre of gravity G. A spring S or compressed air under one piston preserves the normal position during flight. Two forward and one rear wheel may be connected to pistons in three interconnected cylinders, or the rear wheel may be connected to two cylinders to avoid lateral interconnection. Shock absorbing wheels as described in Specification 333,119, [Class 144 (i), Wheels for vehicles], or wheels with large tyres may be used, or each wheel R, Fig. 10, may have oleo-pneumatic or pneumatic suspension devices as described in Specification 321,035, [Class 108 (iii), Springs &c.], wherein pistons 3 move in cylinders 2. The cylinders 2 themselves form the pistons of cylinders C of the balancing gear, which are interconnected by the pipe D. The device is pivoted about an axle 10 to enable it to be raised during flight by a pneumatic cylinder 13, Fig. 13. The pivoted device normally rests against a stop 14 where it is held by a cable 15 wound around a spring drum connected to a ratchet wheel 16 with locking pawl 17. When air is supplied to the cylinder 13 to raise the wheels the pawl 17 is raised by a piston 19. Should the compressed air fail the parts fall into and are locked in their operative position. Similar wheels under the wing tips, for preserving lateral stability on the ground, are pivoted to move laterally into the wings. One of the wheels may be mounted on a swivelling hub for steering on the ground.

Abstract: 1,043,239. Rolling. UNITED ENGINEERING & FOUNDRY CO. Sept. 30, 1963 [Oct. 12. 1962], No. 38680/62. Heading B3M. A rolling mill is provided with two turrets arranged on parallel vertical axes, each turret carrying two rolls, to allow one of the two rolls to be rotated on the turret into an operative position. Vertical turrets 24 and 25, carrying rolls spaced on opposite sides of the turret axis, are mounted in housings 15, 16 and 21, 22. Co-operating projections (Fig. 4, not shown) retain the housings in position, and are positioned on the horizontal beams 13 and 14 of the mill stand. The rolls are driven through couplings 62 from a motor 64, and pass adjustment of the rolls is effected by vertical and lateral adjustment of the turret 24. Lateral adjustment is by screws operated through gearing 49 and 50 from a motor 51, while vertical adjustment is by means of a rod 41 operated by a piston cylinder assembly 38. When the roll 28 is in a desired position a nut 61 on a link 58 is tightened to hold the roll in that position. The rod 41 and assembly 38 are also operated when the turret 24 is to be rotated for a change of roll, the rod raising the turret until the couplings 62 are disconnected and an opening 47 in a flange 48 of turret co-operates with a sleeve 46. A ratchet wheel 45, and hence the turret, are rotated through 180 degrees by further pistoncylinder assembly 42 to move the new roll into position. A similar arrangement is used for the turret 25. Entry and exit guides are attached to the turrets and are rotated with their associated rolls.
