Abstract: 460,334. Motor vehicles. DAIMLERBENZ AKT.-GES. Dec. 19, 1935, No. 35225. Convention date, Dec. 19, 1934. [Classes 79 (ii), 79 (iii), and 79 (iv)] Comprises the arrangement in a motor vehicle of a transversely disposed aligned cylinder engine in advance of the front axle or behind the rear axle, with its cylinders inclined towards the middle of the vehicle, and driving the wheels of the axle adjacent thereto through transversely disposed transmission shafts. The cylinders are preferably inclined to the vertical at an angle of about 30‹ and may extend over the wheel axis. In Figs. 4-6, a transverse engine and gear-box unit c, d is shown, mounted behind the rear axle in a forked extension b of a central tubular frame member a, the road wheels being suspended on transverse leaf springs g<1>, g<2> attached to the fork part b which is hollow to accommodate the differential e and the driving axle shafts f<1>, f<2>, these passing through openings in the fork arms. The unit is formed with projections h<1>, h<2> resting on rubber cushions on the ends of the fork arms, the engine torque being taken by rubber cushions n<1>, n<2> between the differential and the part b. The radiator i is arranged on one side, above the cylinders and at right angles to the axes thereof, the fan shaft l being driven from an auxiliary shaft m. In a similar arrangement applied to the front end of a vehicle, Figs. 1-3 (not shown), the driving block or unit is trunnioned in rubber bushes in the ends of the fork arms, the trunnion axis preferably passing through the centre of gravity of the unit. In Fig. 8, is shown, swung into one plane, a gear-box d unitary with the engine c and a differential casing e<0> flexibly connected thereto by a union x. The drive is transmitted through a clutch o, sliding toothed change-speed gearing dl, d<2> and gears r<1>, r<2> to a short cardan shaft s driving the differential e<1> through a pinion t, the road wheels being mounted on swingable hollow axles q<1>. A modification is described in which the sliding toothed change-speed gear is between the clutch and the engine, the differential being mounted in an extension of the gear-box and driven direct by a pair of toothed gears.

Filed: 1970-07-22
Abstract: 1276398 Mixing gases MIDLAND-ROSS CORP 22 July 1970 [29 Sept 1969] 35555/70 Heading B1C [Also in Division F4] Apparatus for mixing gases in flow consists of a casing 26 through which one gas flows, as shown from a compressor 30, and a series of nozzles 34 which discharge a curtain of the second gas. A baffle 62 which is preferably spaced downstream of the nozzles by a distance less than one-third of the diameter of the casing, has an opening which substantially follows the outline of the curtain. The nozzles may be arranged in a circular ring as shown, or as a series of straight tubes forming a polygon (Figs. 3 and 4, not shown) or, where the casing is rectangular, may be parallel nozzle tubes (Fig. 6, not shown). The opening in the baffle may be circular, or a central part 64 may be inserted to form an annular slot. The central part 64 may be raised or lowered relative to the outer part 62 so that the recirculation zones downstream of the two parts terminate at the same distance from the nozzles 34. The nozzles may discharge downwardly (Fig. 6, not shown) or upwardly, as shown. As described, the apparatus is a fume incinerator, in which waste gases flow through the casing and fuel gas is supplied to the nozzles. Flame stabilization bars 39 are fitted downstream of the nozzles and the baffles 62, 64 may be coated on their downstream surfaces with refractory material.

Title: Improved couplings for connecting substantially aligned shafts
IPC: F16D3/68
Filed: 1935-12-23
Abstract: 462,069. Universal joints. RICEFIELD, L. Dec. 23, 1935, No. 35565. [Class 80 (ii)] In a universal shaft-coupling of the kind in which radiating resilient arms 72a of a spider 62, Figs. 10 and 15, are interposed between interengaging axial jaws 70a, 71a of shaft-members 70, 71, the jaw-engaging faces of the arms diverge radially outwards along curved or straight lines, the crosssection at any radius being a function of the compressibility of the material and the distance from the axis of the coupling, whereby uniform compression is obtained throughout the length of the arms. The arms may so diverge throughout their entire length, as shown in Fig. 17, or they may diverge both radially outwards and inwards from a point intermediate their length, as shown in Fig. 10, in which case only .the outwardly divergent part is uniformly compressed. Under no-load conditions, the arms may contact throughout their length with the jaws, or a diverging clearance 71c, Fig 10, is provided towards their outer ends, which clearance is gradually taken up under load. To prevent their being squeezed outwards under load, the inclination of the jawengaging faces of the arms to the radius through them, should be within the angle of friction for the materials concerned. The jaw-engaging faces of the arms may be differently inclined on opposed sides, one of which may be parallel to the radius instead of divergent. The arms may be curved on one side and flat on the other. The lateral faces of the arms may also diverge inwardly or outwardly, as shown in Fig. 15. In the form shown in Figs. 17 and 18, the resilient arms 88a are detachably snapped into flanged sockets in a hub 88b of spring-steel, rubber or vulcanized rubber. The V-shaped hubflanges 89a of the hub may be arranged at right-angles to the axis, instead of axially, as shown, and may have slots near them to improve their resiliency. The resilient arms may be of leather, rubberized fabric or rubberized asbestos, and may be composed of laminations cemented together, in an axial plane, as shown in Fig. 17 or in a plane at rightangles thereto. The jaws and arms may be longitudinally inclined to the shaft-axes, and the centre-lines of the arms may be inclined to the radius through them.

Title: Improvements in sensitising silver halide emulsions
IPC: G03C1/16
Filed: 1932-12-16
Abstract: Silver halide emulsions are sensitized with benz-selenopseudocyanine dyes or substitution derivatives thereof, the molecule of the dye containing an anion other than the halide or alkyl sulphate. Suitable anions are nitrate, perchlorate, p-toluene sulphonate and 2-naphthalene sulphonate; these are introduced into the molecule of the dye by double decomposition of the alkyl halide of the dye with a suitable salt of the anion, e.g. sodium salts where the resulting compound of the dye is less soluble, and silver salts where the resulting compound is more soluble.  In examples (1) a solution of 1 : 1<1>-diethyl-6<1>-methyl-benzselenopseudocyanine iodide p  in methanol is acidified with nitric acid and silver nitrate is added. After filtering and cooling, the nitrate of the dye is deposited; (2) a solution of the above dye is heated with silver-2-naphthalene sulphonate in methanol and the 2-naphthalene sulphonate of the dye separates on filtering and cooling; (3) 1 : 1<1>-diethyl-6 : 6<1>-dimethoxy-benzselenopseudocyanine iodide is dissolved in methanol and sodium perchlorate added, the perchlorate of the dye being precipitated.

Filed: 1928-12-06
Abstract: 330,293. Hesketh, B. Dec. 6, 1928. Condensers, multiple, the rotors of which are simultaneously operated, have provision for rotating the stator through a limited degree. The operating mechanism comprises a reduction gearing including a friction-wheel directly driving a drum dial, the friction-wheel being fitted to one I end of a shaft the other end of which carries an operating-wheel. Both wheel and dial project through openings in a framework. One rotor 6 is carried on a shaft 5 terminating in a dial 7, which is flexibly coupled at 25 to the shaft 23 of the second rotor, bearings 22 on the shaft 23 allowing the stator 20 to be rotated independently of the rotor to a degree limited by stops. Similar adjusting-means are provided for the drum 7 to operate both rotors together, and for the drum 30 to operate the stator 20. The dial 7 is engaged by a small friction-wheel 14 on a shaft 11 having an operating-wheel 15. To keep the members 14, 7 in engagement, the bearing-hole in the plate 9 is made oversize and the plate 12 is slotted, a springy wire 16 being stretched between two pillars 18 and engaging at about its middle the tip 19 of the shaft 11. The Provisional Specification states also that the dial 7 may be knurled and project through an opening in the main framework for direct operation. The wheels 15 may also be formed as dials.
