Title: Timing Device for a Household Appliance
IPC: A47J37/08
Filed: 1981-09-17
Abstract: A timing device, particularly a pneumatic timing device for use in a household appliance such as an electric toaster, comprises a cylinder 10 which has a piston guide surface 60 and an adjoining enlarged end section 66, and a piston 30 having a sealing skirt 62. In operation, the sealing skirt 62 sealingly co-operates with the guide surface 60 and moves at a rate determined by orifice 68, and in the rest position is disposed unstressed in the enlarged end section 66. The cylinder bore is shaped so that the transition point between the guide surface 60 and the enlarged end section 66 is formed as an abrupt transition with a sharp edge at the end of the guide surface. Any debris which collects on the piston is wiped off by the sharp edge, each time the timer is set. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2096101-A (GB)
Title: Reeling mandrel for winding split narrow strips
IPC: B65H35/02
Filed: 1982-03-15
Abstract: A reeling mandrel 14, for simultaneously winding a plurality of split narrow metal strips which may be of different thicknesses is equipped with resilient inserts (17) carrying friction linings (23), which project from openings (24) in the reeling mandrel surface (14a) and upon the application of a pressure medium, e.g. compressed air supplied to the mandrel interior, bear against support members (35) associated with each narrow strip on the reeling mandrel (14). As soon as the tension in any strip coming direct from the splitting device increases excessively, the retaining force produced by the compressed air, which normally fixes the support member (35) on the reeling mandrel (14), is overcome and the support member or members (35) bearing the over tensioned strip(s) then carry out a relative slipping movement with respect to the reeling mandrel (14) such that no more winding on of the over tensioned strip occurs until the tensions in all the strips correspond again. Preferably the mandrel interior is partitioned at 27, 28 to provide a recess 26 into which a C-hook can engage to jointly remove all the coils formed on the mandrel. Anti- wear bars 18 may also be provided.   <IMAGE>

Title: Control system for an automatic transmission
IPC: F16H61/688
Filed: 1982-04-27
Abstract: A control system is provided for an automatic transmission of the kind in which successive gear ratios in a series are obtained by switching the drive between first and second clutches. When one gear ratio (eg 4th top) is engaged and conditions previal which anticipate a downcharge to the adjacent lower gear ratio (3rd), the selector control device (42) associated with the adjacent lower gear ratio is operated by an interconnection (46A, 46B) with the driving circuit (38) associated with the one gear ratio, thereby pre-engaging the gear train of the adjacent lower gear ratio. The interconnection is blocked by a blocking circuit (47) under other conditions to prevent unnecessary wear. <IMAGE>

Title: Hydraulic system
Inventor: DOTTI GIULIO
IPC: F16K31/40
Filed: 1982-10-15
Abstract: A hydraulic system with proportional electrical control comprises a hydraulic servo valve including a pilot chamber (14) and a pilot valve for regulating the pressure in the pilot chamber which comprises a body (3) having a duct (18) communicating with the pilot chamber (14) and connected to a source of fluid under pressure through an orifice (42) of narrow cross section, an aperture (15) for connection to a discharge tank, and a passage (19, 20) through which the duct (18) communicates with the discharge aperture (15). The pilot valve further includes a shutter (29) cooperating with a seat formed in the body in correspondence with the said passage (19, 20) and an electromagnet (4).

Title: Optical fire detector
Inventor: LINDGREN ERIK GUSTAF
IPC: G08B17/103
Filed: 1982-03-25
Abstract: An optical fire detector in which a radiation source (4) generates a ray beam, which, after having passed through the air in a room, is received by a detector (5) for determining if the characteristic properties (intensity, modulation) of the received beam have been affected by combustion, generating aerosols or convection in the air. The fire detector includes a Fresnel lens (1) with two focal points, on one side of the room, the radiation source (4) being disposed at one focal point and the beam detector (5) at the other. On the other side of the room there is arranged a retroreflector (6), which by total internal reflection re-emits the beam sent from the Fresnel lens (1). An indicating circuit (11) connected to the radiation detector (5) indicates that the change in the characteristic values of the emitted and received beam exceed threshold value.

Patent GB-2117595-A (GB)
Title: Marine radar
Inventor: COLLING FRANK STEVEN
IPC: G01S7/22
Filed: 1983-03-07
Abstract: Information about the wind direction and the state of the sea or other water surface is presented on the screen (3) of a plan-position indicator radar. Radar signals reflected from the sea within a range of distances are supplied to an integrator (Fig. 2, not shown). The output of the integrator is connected to one input of a comparator the other input of which receives the output from a ramp generator, the ramp output period of which is equal to the radial time base of the display. The comparator supplies an output to the screen (3) when its inputs are equal, so that the radial distance of the display representation is dependent on amplitude of the received signals. This produces a representation (30) of loop shape that is displaced from the centre (33) of the screen in the direction of the origin of the wind (34). Additionally, normal echo return signals (35) may be presented on the screen (3) after filtering to enhance signals reflected from the sea at greater ranges. <IMAGE>
