Abstract: 408,964. Ticket-issuing machines. MATTINSON, E., 8, Dartmouth Street, London. Oct. 18, 1932, No. 29096. [Class 106 (iii).] In a strip-ticket printing, registering and issuing machine, a number of coaxial printing discs are each associated with an indicating disc, and a registering or totalizing mechanism is operated by one or more of the printing discs, separate finger-pieces being adapted to actuate the printing discs, and the printing mechanism and feed rollers. Figs. 1 and 3 show a corresponding vertical section and an elevation of a machine for use on vehicles ; Fig. 5 shows a plan and Fig. 2 a vertical section on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1. A series of coaxial discs b, c, d, e are set independently to print respectively an identity letter, the fare stage, the pence and the shillings of the fare. The disc b is operated directly by the knob k which also forms an indicator. The disc c is operated by the finger-piece or knob l through the toothed wheel c', an indicator disc g being also provided. The fare discs d, e are operated through gear wheels d<2>, e<2> from the finger piece m which may be adjusted in or out to select one of the wheels and is then rotated to set it. The fare discs are further connected by gear wheels d<1>, e<1> to indicator discs h, i, having return springs h<1>, i<1>. The fare discs d, e are locked when set by the spring-controlled bell-crank levers s<1> which are released by cams on the side of the wheel r<1> engaging the pin s when the finger piece n is rotated to effect the printing. The register f, which totalises the fares, is operated by the gear wheels d<1>, e<1>. After the apparatus has been set, the printing, cutting off, and issue of the ticket is effected by rotation through a quarter of a revolution of the finger-piece u. The feed roller o is then rotated through gearing and grips the strip between it and the idle rollers o<4> when it is raised by levers o<3> operated by downward movement of the platen r. The printing platen r is raised by a spring and lowered by the fourarmed one-way member r<1> engaging an arm r<2> on a shaft r<3> with arms r<4>, r<5>.

Title: Accumulator
IPC: H01M10/42
Filed: 1962-10-30
Abstract: 1,017,084. Battery charging circuits. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Oct. 30, 1962 [Nov. 1, 1961], No. 41067/62. Heading H2H. [Also in Division H1] An accumulator has an auxiliary electrode 31 which is internally, electronically insulated from the positive and negative electrodes, 30, 29 and externally connected through a relay coil 34 to the negative electrode. During charging, oxygen is evolved in the cell and is catalytically reduced by the auxiliary electrode, the amount of current through the electrode being proportional to the amount of oxygen in the cell. When overcharging commences, sufficient oxygen is evolved to cause the current through the auxiliary electrode to energize winding 34 and close contacts 35. This energizes the release coil 37 of a second relay which opens contacts 41 breaking the charging circuit. The charging circuit is reclosed by a reset button 42 which energizes a reset coil 39 of the relay. In alternative arrangements, the auxiliary electrode current controls a magnetic or transistor amplifier in the charging circuit.

Title: Improved phenolic foam compositions
IPC: G06G7/52
Filed: 1964-10-09
Abstract: Phenol-aldehyde resole resins having a viscosity of 200-300,000 centipoises at 25 DEG  C. are cured and foamed by the use, with or without heating, of mixtures of boric acid with an organic hydroxy acid or dibasic acid having no more than one methylene group between the two functional groups, preferred resoles being derived from H.CHO.  The boric acid may be added as the anhydride, or with the organic acid as a solid fused mixture. Preferred organic acids have less than 8 C atoms.  The total acid content of the resulting mixture may be 10-40 by weight per hundred of resole.  Foaming may be assisted by the addition of organic blowing agents having boiling points between about -40 DEG  and 200 DEG  F., preferably in amounts of 2-50 parts by weight per hundred of resole, care being taken to avoid reducing the viscosity of the mixture to a level below 200 centipoises. Preferred blowing agents are the polyhalogenated fluorohydrocarbons described and claimed in co-pending Specification 1,087,056. The usual surfactants may be used, and other additives include normally liquid glycidyl ethers of polyhydric phenols, and liquid polyols and polyisocyanates.

IPC: B60T7/20
Filed: 1960-12-23
Abstract: 951,798. Trailer brakes. CHARLES PITT (BARTON STACEY) Ltd. Dec. 21, 1961 [Dec. 23, 1960; Aug. 9, 1961], Nos. 44328/60 and 28769/61. Heading F2E. [Also in Division B7] In a trailer having steerable front wheels, wheel brakes and a draw bar, the latter is mounted for swinging movement about vertical and horizontal axes and is connected to a brake operating device so formed as to cause the brakes to be applied at zones which are spaced apart about the zone of normal vertical swinging movement of the draw bar when coupled to a towing vehicle whereby the brakes can be operated by vertically swinging the draw bar when uncoupled. As shown movement of the draw bar 3 about a vertical pivot 6 is used to apply a steering action on the forward wheels 2 by connecting the steering arms 8 to the rear end of the draw bar through transmission rods 9. The draw bar is also pivoted about the horizontal pivot 7 and carries coaxially therewith a cam 10 engaged by a follower 11 at the end of a pivoted - lever 12. The end of the latter abuts a rod 14 which is free to slide in a bush 15 constituting part of the vertical pivot 6. The lower end of rod 14 abuts a spring biased pivoted lever 16 which is coupled to the rear wheel brakes, and if they are fitted, to the front wheel brakes. The peripheral form of the cam 10 is such that movement of the draw bar through the neutral angle extending from 30 degrees to 90 degrees (see Fig. 4) does not apply the brakes. The operating zone during which the brakes are increasingly applied extends through the angle 0 degrees to 30 degrees and again through 90 degrees to 100 degrees i.e. when the draw bar is swung above or below its normal setting. The brakes are fully applied when the draw bar swings through the angle 340 degrees to 360 degrees and again when the swing is through 100 degrees to 103 degrees. In another embodiment the draw bar is formed longitudinally in two parts, the first part is mounted about the horizontal pivot on a forward extension of the trailer chassis and the second part is longitudinally movable with respect to the first against the force of a compression spring to provide " over-run " braking. The cam 10 is carried on the end of the second part and is rotatable about lateral pins which are mounted to slide in longitudinal guides formed in blocks secured to the first part about the horizontal pivot which is formed by stub pivots in horizontal alignment.
