Patent GB-2126691-A (GB)
Title: Closure valve
Inventor: MOORE GEORGE FRANCIS
IPC: F16K21/04
Filed: 1983-04-22
Abstract: A water tap includes a main valve member 20, cooperating with a valve seat 22, the member 20 being in the form of a piston working in a dash-pot cylinder 18, the valve member 20 being movable, via a spindle 36, with lost motion. When the spindle 36 is depressed, via an operating knob, 80, the subsidiary valve member 60 is moved downwardly to its open position and the valve member 20 is moved downwardly into cylinder 18, while water from the cylinder 18 flows past the subsidiary valve, out of the tap. When the operating knob is released, the subsidiary valve member is drawn up into its closed position, and in turn draws the member 20 upwardly, so that the sole communication with cylinder 18 is provided through a restricted bleed passage 94, and thus the cylinder 18 fills only slowly so that the valve member 20 moves only slowly into engagement with its valve seat 22 after a predetermined period. The period for which the valve remains open can be adjusted by adjusting the operating stroke of the valve by an adjustment member 70, or by altering the effective size of the bleed passage 94 by inserting therein an end part of a "C" shaped clip of wire of appropriate diameter. <IMAGE>

Spring means, for example a tension or compression spring 25 or a gas spring, act between said two frames and tend at all times to move the seat upwardly relatively to the floor. A seat-height setting, selected from a number thereof by the seat user, is maintained by multi-pronged (21) catch levers 22 engaging holes in racks 19. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-833742-A (GB)
Abstract: 833,742. Calculating-apparatus. SPRINGIES, E., and ROSE, H. March 22, 1956 [April 9, 1955], No. 8936/56. Class 106 (1). In a system for transmitting numerical values between electrically-driven mechanical calculating machines, e.g. for accounting purposes, a first calculating machine is mechanically connected to a transmitter for transmitting value-representing discriminating voltages or impulses, other calculating machines each have a receiver for receiving and utilizing the voltages or impulses, control signals determining the kind of calculation also being transmitted and received, and electric switch means connects the transmitter to one or more receivers. Fig. 2 shows one denomination of a value transmitter. A differentially moved member Sh, e.g. associated with the printing mechanism of the calculating machine, operates a slide S so that contact K3 connects a corresponding one of ten voltages U1-U10 to contact bar Ko. After this voltage has been transmitted to a receiver, the slide S is restored by energization of magnet AM. In a receiver, Fig. 3a, rotary switch arm is stepped over contacts Kt1-Kt10, to which are applied the voltages U1-U10 respectively, until the voltage at the arm balances that received from the transmitter. Toothed segment Z causes corresponding movement of bar Sg having a stepped end which causes a slide St of the receiving calculating machine to be stopped in a differential position corresponding to the value to be entered. In the system shown in Fig. 4, the transmitter A is connected to receivers BI-III, one of which is selected by energization of associated relay RE from line E1, E2 or E3. The differential voltage from Ko is applied over line L to one side of relays RS ; and relays RE, RS of the selected receiver complete a circuit for the stepping mechanism SW which continues to operate until the voltage in L is equalled by the voltage applied to the other side of RS from arm SA. If a switch SS is moved from position I to position II the receiving calculating machine is connected to a central control point (not described in detail) in place of the transmitter A. Other forms of transmitter and receiver are described, e.g. the receiver bars Sg may be stepped on by pawls actuated by magnets. A control device, for determining the kind of calculation to be effected, may comprise control cams which cause the appropriate operation keys of the receiving calculating machine to be selected (Figs. 5a-5c, not shown). A detailed circuit diagram is provided of a multi-denominational receiver with associated circuits for controlling addition and subtraction (Figs. 6a-6b, not shown).

Filed: 1984-04-02
Abstract: A soil cultivating implement which is movable over the ground in the direction A by a tractor or other vehicle comprises a frame portion 1 carrying a row of rotary soil working members 3 and also comprises a carrying frame 20 that is upwardly and downwardly pivotable relative to the frame portion 1 about a horizontal axis defined by pivot bolts 24, said carrying frame 20 being provided with wide-tyred or pairs of caster ground wheels 38. The rear of the carrying frame 20 is provided with an adjustable three-point coupling for cooperation with the three-point coupling member or trestle of a seed drill 21 or other implement, tool or machine to be used in combination with the soil cultivating implement. Piston and cylinder assemblies 35 enable a major central portion of the carrying frame 20 to be displaced upwardly, relative to the castor ground wheels 38, to raise the seed drill 21 well clear of contact with the ground. During inoperative transport, the soil cultivating implement itself is raised clear of the ground by the lifting device or hitch of the tractor or other operating vehicle and the seed drill 21 or the like is raised well clear of the ground by the major central portion of the carrying frame 20 leaving only the caster ground wheels 38 in contact with the soil surface. <IMAGE>

Title: Pumping system
Inventor: HARP JOHN
IPC: F04B23/00
Filed: 1984-06-05
Abstract: Pumping system e.g. for handling slurry or sludge incorporates a plurality (e.g. three) of single acting hydraulic powered ram type pump units (A, B, C) connected in parallel to a common inlet and outlet. Proximity switches (50, 51 and 52) sense when a displacement piston of each unit reaches each end of its stroke and when it passes a middle position and control means is programmed to actuate the units in a sequence in which their delivery strokes are asynchronously phased. Preferably the sensing of a piston passing its delivery stroke mid- point is used to start the next in sequence on its delivery. The sensors at the stroke ends are used to change valves so that pressure is applied in the reverse direction. The control means can be used to indicate the performance of the system and warn of malfunction. <IMAGE>

Title: Cable anchorage
Inventor: RIPOLL JAVIER
IPC: E04C5/12
Filed: 1984-10-19
Abstract: A cable anchorage having wires anchored in a plate 13 is filled in situwith a pre-mixed filling mix. The anchorage is pre-heated by blowing hot air from heater 19 into it and into a cover 15 around the exposed end of it. The mix is also pre-heated. Preferably a sheet (41,43 Fig. 1) of resilient material is compressed against the outer face of the anchor plate to seal the holes around the cable wires during the filling operation. In order to protect the cable wires in the case of cyclic loading, the wires are threaded individually through a deflector element (103 Fig. 9) at the cable end of the anchorage and are stressed individually. They may be threaded when the defector element is outside the anchorage, it being moved into position afterwards. <IMAGE>
