Title: Deceleration-sensing pressure proportioning or limiting valve assembly for vehicle braking systems
IPC: B60T8/26
Filed: 1981-04-04
Abstract: A valve assembly has a stepped control piston (8) which normally abuts a stepped adjustment piston (23) working in a common bore (2), and the pistons are biassed sway from an inlet end of the bore by a control spring (38). A normally open valve seat (15) controlling communication between an inlet port (22) and an outlet port (43) is carried by the control piston (8) and is closed by a valve member (14) on separation of the pistons (8, 23). The adjustment piston (23) houses a deceleration sensing ball (26) which, on excessive deceleration of the vehicle or during rapid brake applications, moves to close off a passage (33) to isolate an adjustment chamber (34), the valve (14, 15) thereafter providing a metering action as pistons (8, 23) move apart. In other constructions the adjustment chamber is a chamber which is connected to the outlet port, and in some of these constructions (Figures 3 and 4) the deceleration ball is housed in the control piston and cooperates with a valve tube carried by the adjustment piston. <IMAGE>

Title: A warning arrangement
Inventor: CONNER JAMES
IPC: B63B21/22
Filed: 1982-04-08
Abstract: A warning arrangement for use in connection with boats, yachts, dinghys, and marine craft generally in which alarm means are provided on the marine craft and a line 6 leads from the marine craft to a suitable contact means such as a weight 7 at the other or distal end of the line. Alarm actuating means 9 are provided and are connected to both the line and the alarm, so that if there is movement on the line the alarm actuating means will cause the alarm to be actuated.

Abstract: 822,185. Knitting. BUNGER, A. April 23, 1956 [Dec. 5, 1955; Feb. 21, 1956], No. 12421/56. Classes 74 (1) and 74 (2). An artificial Persian lamb comprises a plurality of figuring yarns a secured to a previously separately produced material foundation n by warp threads knitted into wales b or b<SP>1</SP> through the foundation by needles which pierce it; and the figuring yarns, which may be chenilles or wicks of curled fibres, extend side by side on the fabric, each over a part of the width thereof, in lines which meander irregularly and in different ways as between adjacent yarns. In Fig. 2, the wales are not interconnected, whereas in Fig. 4 they are interconnected by shogging the warp threads between adjacent wales, as in normal warp knitting. As shown in the right-hand wale of Fig. 4, additional threads, each confined to the one wale, may be provided. The figuring yarns are laid by patterning warp bars and may be divided into groups each containing yarns 1-4. Each bar lays one yarn of each group so that, by imparting differing movements to the bars, the individual yarns within a group may be made to follow differing paths. Lengths such as i, i<SP>1</SP>, k of the yarns float between the points at which they are tied in. The warp threads may be of cotton, a superpolyamide, or similar synthetic material. The foundation may be woven, plaited, or knitted and may incorporate rubber or like threads; or it may be a flexible, elastically expansible foil, synthetic material, rubber or the like. A second web may finally be glued to the back of the foundation and may be a foil of flexible synthetic material. Specification 822,184 is referred to.
