Title: Improvements in and relating to differential gearing
IPC: G07F15/06
Filed: 1933-03-27
Abstract: 417,323. Single - step counting apparatus. MEASUREMENT, Ltd., and HOLDEN, F., Terminal House, Lower Belgrave Street, Eaton Square, London. March 27, 1933, No. 9224. [Class 106 (i).] In a meter for registering a charge for hire in addition to the consumption of the commodity, such as electricity, being measured and delivered, an epicyclic gear comprising two sun - wheels f, i and an epicyclic pinion h is arranged so that the sun-wheel i is driven from the motor spindle b through spur gearing m, k, and the spur-wheel d carrying the pinion h is driven by a pinion c on a constantspeed shaft a. The wheel f has more teeth than the wheel i, the difference being one or more, so that if the wheel i is stationary and the pinion h makes one revolution around the wheels f, i the wheel f is turned through an angular distance equal to one or more teeth. The wheel f is carried by a boss e secured to a shaft g, which is thus given a slow rotation which is transmitted through gearing n, o to differential gearing p, r, t, the sun-wheel t of which is connected by the wheel u with the prepayment mechanism of the meter. If the spindle b is rotated by the meter, the motion of the spindle g is that due to the combined effects of the rotations of the spindles b, a.

Title: Dual piston clutch
IPC: F16D25/10
Filed: 1966-03-03
Abstract: 1,139,221. Friction clutches. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO. 3 March, 1966 [16 April, 1965], No. 9321/66. Heading F2C. An hydraulically operated multiplate friction clutch comprises a two-part presser piston 50, E4, the first part 50 of which produces rapid initial clutch engagement whilst the other part 54 subsequently builds up the clutch engaging pressure. As shown, in a double clutch 32, 34 for a change speed as reverse gear, the two parts 50, 54; 48; 52 of each presser piston are nested one within the other in chambers 44, 46 fast with an input shaft 12 and annular projection 56, 58 on the inner pistons 48, 50 divide the chambers 44, 46 into two parts in the clutch disengaged position. Plates 86, 94 fast with the inner and outer pistons 50, 54 are urged to the clutch disengaged position by springs 114, 112. When pressure liquid is supplied to the chamber 44 or 46 through ducts 24 or 26 to engage clutch 32 or 34 it initially acts on the inner piston 48 or-50 only since the projection 56 or 58 prevents it reaching the outer piston. The inner piston 48 or 50 thus moves against the bias of the weaker springs 114 to produce rapid initial clutch engagement. The movement of the inner piston 48 or 50 permits pressure liquid to be supplied to the outer piston 52 or 54 which moves against the bias of the stronger springs 112 to provide the main clutch engaging force. In Figs. 3, 4 and 6 (not shown), the piston (226) which provides initial clutch engagement is axially slidable in an annular groove (224) in the main piston (210) and pressure liquid is supplied thereto through a one way valve (242) which closes on initial movement of the main piston (210) to trap liquid in the base (224) so that additional clutch engaging force is applied through the piston (226) to the clutch plates prior to engagement of the main piston with said plates. A bleed hole (248) permits pressure equalization in the base (224) and main piston chamber (208). The clutch plates carried by the output shaft may be bronze and the input carried plates may be steel.

Abstract: 772,070. Disc brakes. GOODYEAR TIRE & RUBBER CO. April 4,1955 [Nov. 3, 1954], No. 9726/55. Class 103 (1). In a fluid-pressure operated brake, lock means are provided for mechanically engaging pistonpins, extending from the pistons associated with the pads of friction material, such as to hold the latter in frictional engagement with the rotatable member. In the embodiment illustrated applied to a " spot-type " disc brake associated with an axle wherein Fig. 3 is a section through 3-3 of Fig. 1, the brake disc 2 is secured to a hub ring 3 carried by a rotatable axle 4 and is braked by means of pads of friction material 12 which are backed by pistons 11, operating in chambers 8 and 9 in a fixed housing 5, which may normally be actuated by hydraulic pressure into frictional engagement with the sides of the disc. As may be seen from Fig. 1 there are two pairs of pistons effecting frictional engagement; one pair being actuated alternatively by mechanical actuation means. The mechanical actuation means comprises wedge-shaped control links 20, operating in slots 19 in guide blocks 17 secured to the brake housing 5, which are connected to mechanical braking members 21. Secured to each of the pistons 11 which are to be actuated mechanically is a piston-pin 14 extending into the guide-blocks 17 and provided with a slot 16 through which passes the control link 20. Thus these pistons may be actuated by hydraulic fluid via line 6, bores 10 and chambers 8 and 9 or alternatively by mechanical actuation by exerting a pull in the direction of the arrow indicated in Fig. 1, on mechanical braking members 21. Springs 23 allow the control links 20 to be returned to their inoperative positions when the mechanical braking members 21 are released, and after application of fluid pressure has, by additional compression of blocks 12, eased or released the pressure exerted upon the control links 20 by the frictional action of the inclined wedging surface 22 and the slot 16 in piston-pins 14.

IPC: B22C15/00
Filed: 1986-03-27
Abstract: Foundry molding material is poured or pneumatically infed into a mold frame arrangement containing at least one pattern, a molding frame and a filling frame. Subsequently, the foundry molding material is compacted by a compacting arrangement containing, for example, any one of a compressed-air surge compacting device, a combustion-force surge compacting device, a pressure compacting device, a vibrational compacting device or a combined pressure-and-vibrational compacting device. Also during such compacting operation at least the predominant portion of the foundry molding material contained in the filling frame is displaced into the molding frame. During such compacting operation a preselected expanding gas is infed into predetermined local regions of the foundry molding material while such material is being compacted. As a result, there are formed zones of reduced packing density in the foundry molding material. During the further compacting operation, but in any case at the end of such compacting operation, the zones of reduced packing density are eliminated and the packing density of such zones is at least approximately equalized with the packing density prevailing in the remaining zones of the foundry molding material.
