Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for detecting acceleration and deceleration

Abstract: 1,092,933. Liquid resistors; transformers. KURATORIUM FR VERKEHRSSICHERHEIT. March 12, 1965 [March 13, 1964; May 4, 1964], No. 10664/65. Headings HIS and H1T. [Also in Divisions G1, G4 and H2] A liquid resistor is used in apparatus for detecting acceleration (see Division G1) comprising an electrode 25 moving with a pendulum 11 (or the pendulum itself serves as an electrode) in a conducting liquid 27 contained in a stationary housing to which another electrode is secured. Since the resistance of the liquid 27 varies with the separation of the electrodes it can be used to detect the position of the pendulum under the influence of acceleration and, if properly selected, the viscosity of the liquid provides the necessary damping of the pendulum. In another embodiment, Fig. 6 (not shown), the liquid 27 serves as an inertia mass which moves relative to a suitably shaped housing (29) under acceleration and varies the cross-section of liquid 27 available to pass current between two electrodes (26, 28) fixed relative to the housing (29) whereby the resistance is increased and serves as a measure of the acceleration. A transformer in an acceleration detector, Fig. 3 (not shown), comprises a coupling coil (17) secured to a mass 11 moved under acceleration relative to another coupling coil (18) connected to an A.C. source so that the voltage induced in the coil (17) is a measure of its displacement relative to the coil (18). In another embodiment, Fig. 4 (not shown), a ferromagnetic body (24) of suitable shape acts as inertia mass and couples two coils anchored to the housing. The body (24) could be a disc extending into the space between the coils.

Title: Improvements in or relating to an automatic double-acting device for adjusting the play in brake systems, in particular in railway vehicles
IPC: B61H15/00
Filed: 1934-04-09
Abstract: 418,492. Slack-adjusters for brakes. GALLUSSER, H., 47, Chemin de Moillebeau, Geneva, Switzerland. April 9, 1934, No. 10702. Convention date, Feb. 21. [Class 103 (i).] An automatic slack-adjuster which both diminishes excessive slack and increases insufficient slack and which includes a one-way coupling member transmitting the braking force to a threaded rod is provided with means whereby this coupling member is properly engaged with the threaded rod. The conical coupling member 1, Fig. 1, comprising a series of segments held together and in engagement with the threaded brake rod 3 by a spring-ring 2 is arranged in a chamber formed in the end of the tubular brake-rod 4 slidable in a cylinder 8 having a chamber 15 containing a second coupling member 18, similar to the member 1 but cylindrical. A projection 12 on the cylinder can move between fixed stops 10, 11. When to apply the brakes the rod 4 is pulled in the direction of the arrow 7, this pull is at first transmitted to the rod 3 through the spring 16, cylinder 8, and member 18. If the slack is normal, the projection 12 reaches the stop 11 and the conical end 6 of rod 4 then engages the member 1 which thus transmits the braking force to the rod 3. If the slack is excessive, the rod 4 continues to move after the cylinder 8 is held by stop 11, compressing the spring 16, so that the rod 3 is drawn through the member 18 and further into the cylinder, the end 6 becoming spaced from the partition 13 of the cylinder. During release the rod 4 with the member 1 slides over the rod 3 until the parts 6, 13 again contact. If the slack is insufficient, the brakes are applied before projection 12 reaches the stop 11, and the rod 3 being thus held, the other parts slide over it until the projection 12 reaches the stop 11, the member 1 being moved by the tubular extension 19 of the partition 13. The member 1 may take up an initial position in which as shown in Fig. 6 it is not properly seated on the threaded rod 3 and which may cause it to slip on the rod 1 when engaged by the end 6 of rod 4. According to the invention, to avoid this, the member 19, Fig. 1, is replaced as in Fig. 6 by a slidable member 21 which is engaged by a series of levers 22 pivoted at 24 in radial slots in the partition 23. Thus if the member 1 should be in the position shown it is able by pushing the member 21 to the left, to contract under the influence of the spring-ring 2 into proper engagement with rod 3 when, in the application of the brakes, the member 6 moves towards the member 1. Specification 412,510 is referred to.

Abstract: 954,770. Unwinding. UNITED ENGINEERING & FOUNDRY CO. March 20, 1963 [April 20, 1962], No. 10947/63. Heading B3E. A method of preparing coils of strip for feeding them successively into a continuous processing line comprises the steps of positioning a coil in a first uncoiler, uncoiling a portion of the leading end of the coil, operating a shear to shear a portion of the uncoiled leading end, recoiling the unsheared leading end by the first uncoiler, transferring the coil to a second uncoiler, and at the same time refeeding the sheared leading end portion to the shear and cutting it up into shorter lengths. A coil of metal strip is lifted from a conveyer 10 by an upender 12 swung 90 degrees on its shaft 16 by piston and cylinder means 17 to present the coil to a first transfer car 27 moved into position along rails 34 by piston and cylinder means 64. Piston and cylinder means 22 on the upender 12 is then lowered and piston means 32 on the car 27 raised to place the coil on a platen 31 on the carriage 27 which is then moved to a position between cradle rolls 36, 37 where the platen 31 is lowered to deposit the coil on the rolls. Peeler means 41 then operates to separate the leading end of the strip from the coil as the rolls 36, 37 are rotated. The rolls 36, 37 are then stopped and the peeler means 41 retracted to bend the leading strip end over a rod 47 to form a permanent set. The leading end is then rewound on to the coil, then unwound to pinch rolls 65, these feed the strip through straightening means 67, over a table 68, through an open shear 72 and pinch rolls 70 on to a table 77. The rolls 36, 37 are then stopped, the shear 72 severs the leading end and the rolls 36, 37 are restarted to rewind the extended portion of the coil. The coil is then carried by a car 48 to an uncoiler 35, the coil being rotated 90 degrees during such travel by rotating a coil support column 52 on the car 48. Meanwhile the table 68 is raised by means 71 and the pinch rolls 70 are operated intermittently to feed the severed strip end back to the shear 72 which severs it into pieces dropping into a car 79.

Abstract: 1,018,662. Fuelling reactors. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. March 19, 1963 [March 22, 1962], No. 10966/62. Heading G6C. A handling apparatus for fuel elements shown as applied to the storage of spent fuel elements in tubes after their removal from a reactor but which may also be applied to the loading and unloading of the fuel element channels of the reactor (the channels then corresponding to the tubes), comprises a hollow column 12 rotatably mounted in a bearing (Fig. 2, not shown) supported by the upper surface of a concrete containment 10, guide tubes 44 leading from the column 12 to individual pitch circles on which the fuel element storage tubes 43 are located. As shown, there are sixteen pitch circles and eight of the tubes 43 join the column 12 at one level 45, the remaining eight joining at another level 46. A gear ring 17 rigid with the column and connected with a drive 49 through a pinion 50 enables each tube 44 to be aligned with a selected tube 43 of its related pitch circle. A down-pipe 24 into which the fuel elements are lowered by a grab is connected in a gas-tight manner to a charge shoot 28 rotatable and slidable relatively to the downpipe. The lower end 28b of the charge shoot is curved and is vertically movable by jacks 26 so as to be at level 45 or 46, the shoot being rotatable within the column 12 by a drive 35. Thus the shoot end 28b may be aligned at the entry of a selected tube 44. In operation the drive 35 is used to align the shoot and the latter is locked to the column 12 whereupon the column is rotated by the drive 49 and a fuel element passageway is established between the downpipe 24 and the selected tube 43. In a modification (not shown) the upper ends of the tubes 44 enter the column 12 on a continuous helix.
