Title: Combined process for carbonising coal and cracking oil
IPC: C10B57/06
Filed: 1926-02-15
Abstract: 262,302. Trent, W. E. Feb. 15, 1926. Carbonizing apparatus.-In a combined process for cracking hydrocarbons and carbonizing fuel, the heat required is generated at a single source, one portion being used to crack the oils, and, the remainder to carbonize the coal which is agglomerated with the residues from the cracking operation. The heat is obtained from steam generated in a boiler plant 3 and passed partly through a pipe 13 to an oven 8 to carbonize the agglomerated fuel, and partly to a compressor 11. The latter operates a second compressor 14 which compresses and cracks the oils supplied from a storage chamber 15. The unvaporized portion of the cracked vapours is discharged through a pipe 30 to a tank 31 from which it is withdrawn to an agglomerator 1 where it is mixed with a comminuted coal the mixture being discharged through an ash separating screen 6 to a hopper 7 from which it is charged to the oven 8. The exhaust steam from the compressor 11 is passed through a pipe 12 into the agglomerator 1.

Title: Vehicle brake mechanism
IPC: B60T8/26
Filed: 1963-02-05
Abstract: 1,030,781. Fluid-pressure brakes. KELSEY-HAYES CO. Feb. 5, 1963 [Feb. 5, 1962], No. 4615/63. Heading F2F.  Apparatus for proportioning braking pressures in a vehicle hydraulic system between the front and rear wheel brake cylinders 34, 51 thereof comprises a master cylinder 10 providing high and low pressure outputs, in chambers 14, 15, respectively, directed to the front and rear cylinders, a first normally - open by - pass 42 interconnecting the high and low pressure outputs, a valve 36 responsive to a predetermined deceleration of the vehicle for closing the bypass, and a second normallyopen by-pass 75 including a valve 71, 72 responsive to the ratio between the pressures of the high and low pressure outputs, whereby if the first bypass 42 is open, the second by-pass 75 is closed when the pressure in the low pressure output reaches a given value, whereas should the first by-pass 42 be closed before this pressure is reached the closing of the second by-pass 75 is delayed, and if the first by-pass 42 is closed after the second by-pass 75 but nevertheless before rear wheel cylinder pressure has attained the desired value, the valve 71, 72 in the second by-pass is re-opened to bleed pressure from the high pressure output to the low pressure output. High and low pressure chambers 14, 15 are formed by bores 12, 13 in which slides a double piston assembly 17, 20 operated by a foot pedal (not shown) via a link 29. A reservoir 26 is associated with the chamber 15 and has the usual supply and compensating ports 25, 27 communicating with the bore 13. Chamber 15 is connected at all times with the rear wheel cylinders 51 via passage 62, chamber 47, residual pressure valve 48 and line 50. High pressure chamber 14 is at all times connected via another residual pressure valve and line 33 to the front wheel brake cylinders. The by-pass 42 leads from below the seat 37 of inertia valve 36 via a constriction 41 to interconnect chambers 14, 15. By-pass 75 leads from chamber 14 past normally open ball valve 71, 72 through a central passage 70 in a differential piston assembly 56, 57 to the chamber 47. The ball valve consists of a ball 72 carried by a fixed stem 76 disposed within the passage 70, and a seat 71 formed on the piston part 57. The space 64 between the piston parts 56, 57 is permanently connected to the reservoir chamber so does not affect operation of the piston. Pressures in front and rear wheel cylinders are initially equal and remain so as pedal effort is increased until, in normal operation, the pressure acting on the larger area of piston portion 56, moves the piston assembly downwards, compressing a spring 65, to close the valve 71, 72. Thereafter ball 36 closes, the constriction 41 allowing pressure to increase in chamber 14 prior to this to avoid a sudden increase. The relationship between the high and low pressures is therafter determined by the relative areas of piston portions 56, 57 controlling the valve 71, 72.

Abstract: 786,786. Resilient mountings; mounting bodies on underframes. VAUXHALL MOTORS, Ltd. Feb. 8, 1956 [Feb. 17, 1955], No. 4725/55. Class 108(2) and 108(3) The invention relates to a resilient mounting of the kind comprising a resilient pad 4 sandwiched between two plates 1, 5, interconnected by parallel links 7 so that displacement of one plate across the other reduces the distance betwen the plates due to angular movement of the links. According to the invention each plate comprises a central plane portion and mutually similar end portions each inclined to one and the same side of the central portion and forming an obtuse angle therewith so that displacement of one plate across the other causes squeezing of the pad between the end portions. As shown, the plate 1 is secured to a cross member 2 of a chassis frame of a commercial vehicle. The plate 5 is secured to the cross member 6 of the vehicle cab. The plate 1 has a surrounding wall 1a to give it the form of a tray. Holes in the wall 1a provide mountings for bolts 8A for the links 7. The pad 4 is provided across its upper surface with two V-section incisions to permit it to bend and take up the shape of the plates 1, 5.
