Patent GB-2187246-A (GB)
Title: Master cylinder
Inventor: CONSTANCE WILLIAM JOHN PETER
IPC: B60T11/22
Filed: 1987-02-16
Abstract: A method of making a fabricated master cylinder includes securing a base (5) to the outer surface of a pressure cylinder (1), forming a reservoir as a one-piece plastics moulding and securing and sealing the reservoir to the base member by upsetting a flange (7) of the base to trap a peripheral flange (9) of the reservoir.

Patent GB-2205785-A (GB)
Title: Suspension filing systems
Inventor: MAGOR ROGER JOHN
IPC: B42F15/00
Filed: 1987-06-20
Abstract: A support arrangement for a suspension filing system comprises a horizontal support bar (4) and a series of elongated backing members (8) rotatably mounted thereon, each of which attaches to the rear edge of a file (6) or the like to enable the latter to be rotated in a vertical plane from a non-use position to a use position above the support bar, in which it can be readily opened widthwise. The invention is characterised in that each elongate backing member (8) is itself rotatably attached to its support bar mounting (7), the arrangement being such that, after the respective file or the like has been rotated to its use position above the support bar, it can be further rotated until its rear edge is parallel to the support bar, thereby presenting any print (e.g. a computer print-out) on its sheets or pages which is parallel to the front and rear edges thereof in reading alignment with the user. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2214895-A (GB)
Title: Load carriers
Inventor: TOON DAVID VICTOR
IPC: B62B3/06
Filed: 1988-02-11
Abstract: A load carrier, primarily for kegs, comprises a chassis 1 with upper and lower rear beams 5 (and 2 Fig 3 not shown) and spaced, forwardly projecting side beams 3. A cental frame comprising upper and lower tubular rails 28 and 29 projects forwards from the rear of the chassis and those rails constitute stationary retainers. A side wing 31 is pivoted to each of the side beams by hinges 32. At the upper edge of each side wing is a tubular rail 33 constituting a movable retainer. Open-ended gaps thus extend between the movable and stationary retainers. The chassis is mounted on front wheels 24 and steerable rear wheels. The chassis, with the retainers can be raised by a user-powered hydraulic ram (9 Fig 3 not shown). The movable retainers can be drawn towards the stationary retainers by an hydraulic ram (34) or by individual rams (45, Fig 4 not shown). In use the carrier is manoeuvred so that kegs enter the gaps, the movable retainers are caused to move towards the stationary retainers to grip the kegs, and the chassis is raised to lift the retainers and kegs from the ground, ready for transport to another location. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2210127-A (GB)
Title: Clutch control for a motor vehicle
Inventor: TELLERT RUDY
IPC: F16D48/02
Filed: 1985-10-18
Abstract: A friction clutch (3) has a clutch releaser (9) the position of which fixes the torque transmittable by the friction clutch (3). A setting drive (15, 17) positions the clutch releaser (9). A position indicator (23) controls the setting drive (15, 17) and is coupled with a clutch pedal (21). The position indicator (23) generates an electric control signal representing the position of the clutch pedal (21), and an electric adaptor device (49) enforces a predetermined non-linear relationship between the position of the clutch pedal (21) and the control signal. The setting drive (15, 17) comprises an electric position regulator circuit (17) which adjusts the position of the clutch releaser (9), through an electrically controllable setting member (15), to a position fixed by the control signal. <IMAGE>

Thus, the opening of each channel is partially closed by the lips (6, 7) which are separated by a space (10). A plurality of arm devices (14) each comprising a base (15) and a projecting arm are dimensioned so that the bases can be inserted into any channel in a zone (11) where that channel is not provided with lips and are then slidable along that channel behind the lips (6, 7) with the arms projecting through the spaces between the lips. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2228352-A (GB)
Title: Sheet for data code and method of recognizing the code
Inventor: TOMIOKA MAKOTO
IPC: G06K19/06
Filed: 1988-09-05
Abstract: A sheet (1) for data code wherein decimal numerals or n-ary numerals that represent data codes, such as 1,2,4, or 8 are displayed in advance in a figure, e.g., in four squares having four segments (20 to 23). The numerals are arranged in a predetermined order starting from the minimum digits that correspond to binary digit positional numerals, and any one or some of the four segments (20 to 23) are blackened. When a black segment is denoted by 1 and a white segment by 0, numerals representing the data codes can be easily converted into binary numerals which can, then, be directly recognized visually. The method of recognizing the data code comprises projecting the light from a source onto the sheet 1 for data code, and receiving the reflected light or the transmission light by light-receiving elements (50 to 53) that correspond to the four segments (20 to 23). The light-receiving element corresponding to a black data code produces an output signal 1 and the light-receiving element corresponding to a white data code produces an output signal 0. Therefore, numerals representing the data code are directly produced as digital signals based on binary signals, whereby the method is established for recognizing the data code. There can further be used a method of recognizing the data codes by projecting light from a light source onto the data code sheet 1, receiving the reflected light or transmitted light by an image sensor, transferring the signal of the image sensor as an image signal, and subjecting the data code to the image processing. <IMAGE>

Title: Bearing lubrication means
Inventor: CROPPER MICHAEL STUART
IPC: F16C33/66
Filed: 1990-04-25
Abstract: A bearing 17, 18 mounted in the end wall of a closed housing 13 and supporting a horizontal shaft 10 rotatable within the housing needs adequate lubrication.
