Title: Refrigeration Method and Cooling Agent
IPC: C09K5/04
Filed: 1981-10-15
Abstract: The method comprises complete liquefaction of the cooling agent before its cooling is carried out by dissolving in the components of the mixture liquefied at the working pressure those which are in the vapour phase at the working pressure. The cooling agent includes difluorodichloromethane in the amount of 10-50 vol.%, a component having a normal boiling point within the range from -55 DEG C to 85 DEG C in the amount 10-50 vol.%, a component having a normal boiling point within the range from -30 DEG C to 55 DEG C in the amount of 10-50 vol.%, and a component having a normal boiling point within the range from 16 DEG C to 35 DEG C in the amount of 10- 75 vol.%.

Title: Improvements in pressure- operated sprayers
IPC: B05B9/08
Filed: 1981-10-28
Abstract: In a pressure-operated sprayer a manually-operated pump (3) for pressurising the contents of a container (1) comprises a cylindrical body (4) extending into the container (1) and in the bore of which works a piston (8) carried by a hollow piston-rod (9) by means of which the container (1) can be pressurised through oppositely acting first and second one-way valves. The first valve comprises a sealing ring (22) housed within a radial groove (23) and the body (4) defines a dip-tube through which pressurised liquid can be dispensed from the container and through the hollow piston-rod (9). When the piston (8) has been locked in a fully depressed position by the opening of second and third valves (20; 14, 15), which are connected by rod 16. The second and third valves being actuable by means of button 18. <IMAGE>

Title: Vehicle Drive System having First and Second Operating Modes and Method of Operating Same
IPC: B60K17/346
Filed: 1981-11-12
Abstract: A vehicle transfer case 30 with a differential to permit general vehicle operation in the four-wheel drive mode includes a positive clutch collar by which the drive to the front axle may be disconnected and the differential locked up to establish two-wheel drive, and a positive clutch collar between inner and outer shaft sections of the front axle for disconnecting the front wheels from each other during two-wheel drive. Both of the clutch collars are shifted by vacuum motors 106, 252 which are interconnected to shift the clutch collars in the proper sequence. Actuation of the vacuum motors is under operator control through a vacuum switch 290. In changing from two-wheel to four-wheel drive, the front axle vacuum motor 252 is first actuated to couple the inner and outer sections of the axle shaft, and then the transfer case vacuum motor 106 is actuated to transfer drive torque to the front wheels. The order is reversed in changing from four-wheel to two-wheel drive. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-814898-A (GB)
Abstract: 814,898. Cash registers. GROSS, H., and GROSS, S. Nov. 24, 1955 [Nov. 24, 1954], No. 33691/55. Divided out of 814,171. Class 106(1). In a key-set and -operated cash register, the key-coupler bar operates a gear system during its return movement only and is retarded thereby so as to reduce noise and shocks. The coupler bar 13 is carried by arms 14 fast on a shaft 15 carrying a segment 20. A pinion 21 engaged by the segment supports a bracket 27 on which a pawl 25 is pivoted and the pawl cooperates with a ratchet wheel 24 fast with a gear 23 driving, through a pinion 32, a fly-wheel 34. On depression of a key or keys 10, the coupler bar 13 is raised to the position shown and the pawl 25 moves idly round the ratchet wheel 24. At the end of the operative stroke, a stud 45 in one of the arms 14 ensures that a brake lever 35 is disengaged from the fly-wheel 34 and then, during the return stroke, the pawl 25 drives the ratchet wheel 24 and hence the fly-wheel 34. The inertia of the fly-wheel and friction in the gear train retard the downward movement of the coupler bar. As the movement is completed, a stud (not shown) in the segment 20 rocks the pawl 25 to ineffective position and the segment itself strikes the lever 35 which brakes the flywheel.

Title: Electrical connecting arrangement for connecting between a cell and the circuit of a watch
IPC: G04G17/02
Filed: 1982-02-18
Abstract: A thin, deformable insulating washer 7 is interposed between the end portion 3a of the cell terminal strip 3 and the head 4b of a fixing screw 4. The shank 4a of the screw 4 passes with clearance through a hole 6 in the portion 3a of the terminal strip and, at its root, has a frustoconical bearing surface 8 for deforming the internal annular region of the washer 7, to engage it into the hole 6. The result of this arrangement is that the strip 3 is held in contact with a printed circuit track 12 (e.g. in a watch) but is electrically insulated from the screw 4 and has its hole 6 correctly centered with respect to the axis 9 of the screw. The insulating washer 7 avoids the use of more expensive collared washers. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2119068-A (GB)
Title: Water guns
Inventor: WATSON HENRY
IPC: B08B7/00
Filed: 1982-03-19
Abstract: A water gun comprises a barrel 1 having a neck 2 from which water is to be projected, valve means 4 for charging the barrel 1 with water from a tank 5, and means for ejecting the charge of water from the barrel as a single body, thereby obtaining the effect of a high pressure jet of short length. The projected body of water is of high density, that is it does not break up into a diffuse spray. The charge of water may be ejected by, for example, compressed air from a cylinder 8 connected by valve 9 and pipe 6 to the barrel 1, via a spring- loaded valve 3 on the end of the neck 2 which is forced open as the pressure of the water in the barrel rises. Other propellants may be used, e.g. explosive or mechanical, and the water (or other liquid) may alternatively be supplied in a sealed cartridge. <IMAGE>

Title: Fuel burner device
Inventor: SALOOJA KAILASH CHANDER
IPC: F23D11/38
Filed: 1982-05-18
Abstract: A fuel burner device (1) comprises a nozzle (3) which terminates at its discharge end in a slit-like discharge orifice (5), so as to produce a wide, but thin, flame. In order to improve combustion efficiency, in particular when using the nozzle as an oil-fired burner, air pipes or passages (8) are provided in the wall of the nozzle. Owing to the high velocity of combustible mixture travelling through the nozzle, a suction effect is set up in the pipes (8) which draws in additional air from the atmosphere (Fig. 1). <IMAGE>

Title: Automatic brake slack adjuster
Inventor: CRISSY CHARLES F
IPC: F16D65/60
Filed: 1982-07-15
Abstract: The adjuster, which is interposed between brake operating shaft (78) and brake rod (16), has a body 10 including a worm drive assembly with a worm 44 mounted upon a shaft 28 and with a unidirectional clutch spring 48 between shaft 28 and worm 44 and a second unidirectional clutch spring 54 (of opposite hand to spring 48) between worm 44 and body 10. Worm 44 normally engages worm gear portion 74 of a sleeve 68 on a second shaft 56, on which is fixed a worm 62 meshing with gear 22. Preliminary manual adjustment of adjuster may be accomplished by placing a wrench on sleeve 68 to disengage 74 and 44 to allow rotation of shaft 56. During braking, oscillation of an indexing lever 30 is transferred to shaft 28 to cause indexing of worm 44 upon sufficient brake wear. Figures 1, 5, 6 show details of the fixing of rod (16) to body 10 and via linkage (32) to indexing lever 30 via a 'universal' bracket. <IMAGE>

Title: Apparatus and method for obtaining reproducible liquid samples of small volume
Inventor: PARKER JAMES E
IPC: B01L3/02
Filed: 1983-09-14
Abstract: An apparatus for use in a semi- automatic method for the preparation of a sample of liquid includes a test tube (10), an elongated tube or sample petter (116) of smaller diameter than the test tube and with its lower end closed, and an aspirator (or vacuum) device (42). The sample petter has an enlarged hollow chamber (118) near its closed lower end (120), and at least one opening (119) into the chamber. When the closed end of the petter tube rests on the test tube bottom, the outer periphery of the enlarged hollow chamber does not sealingly engage the internal walls of the test tube but is fairly closely spaced thereto, e.g. by 0.003"-0.006". Excess sample in the test tube is readily aspirated from above the fluid opening (119) when the aspirator device (42) is connected to the open upper end (117) of the petter tube to leave a desired reproducible volume of sample liquid below the fluid opening. The sample petter tube is then withdrawn from the test tube and released from the aspirator device by a remote push- button semi-automatic means (48). No physical contact between the technician and the petter tube is required. <IMAGE>
