Patent GB-2060904-A (GB)
Title: Galvanometer with rigid synthetic resin outer layer
IPC: G01R5/18
Filed: 1980-09-09
Abstract: A limited rotation galvanometer in which a thermoplastic layer 19 that solidifies and shrinks upon cooling is molded around the exterior of the stator 18 and serves to set up hoop tensions which rigidly fix the stator parts 20, 38 against movement; molded thermoplastic portions integral with the layer may encase and insulate a set of electrical connectors and position them to receive mating members of an external circuit. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2052326-A (GB)
Title: Tool for installing a releasable fastener
IPC: B23P19/00
Filed: 1980-01-25
Abstract: Machine component and use thereof for assembling parts. The machine component comprises a body (1) which is preferably symmetrical relative to an imaginary line (2) through the body (1). The latter has two shafts (3, 4) which project from the body in opposite directions. From a neutral position in which the centre lines of the shafts coincide approximately with each other and with the line of symmetry (2), the shafts (3, 4) can be moved relative to the body (1). One of the shafts (3) can be moved parallel relative to the line of symmetry (2) and the other shaft (4) can be rotated around a point on the line of symmetry (2). The centre line of the shaft thereby forms an acute angle with the line of symmetry. When the machine component is used for guiding in two parts which are movable relative to each other, one of which is to be fitted into the other, the component helps to prevent the occurrence of the so-called jammed-drawer effect. The part which is to be inserted is held by the machine component and is inserted along a straight line with which the line of symmetry of the machine component is approximately parallel. The said point of the component should coincide substantially with that end of the part which is to be inserted which is located furthest from the component, i.e the end which will be inserted first.

Title: Planetary transmission with coaxial hydraulic actuator
IPC: F16H3/54
Filed: 1980-10-06
Abstract: A transmission for an automotive vehicle, in which rotational power is input to a carrier 12 of a planetary gear mechanism and is taken out from the ring gear 17. An engagement member 21, coaxial with and rotationally coupled to the sun gear 16, may be frictionally engaged either to the ring gear 17 or to the transmission casing 7, and is driven between these two positions by a piston member 34 coaxial with and axially coupled to it, but rotationally free with respect to it, which is formed as a disk 36 with a hub 35 projecting from its center, the hub being connected to the engagement member 21 so as to be axially fixed thereto but rotationally free with respect thereto. An annular fluid pressure chamber 41 is defined around and coaxial with the hub 35, between the casing 7 and the piston member 34, on one side of the piston member. Selective supply of fluid pressure to the annular chamber 41 drives the engagement member 21 between its positions, whereby the transmission provides either a direct coupled stage or a stage providing increase of rotational speed. A disk spring 46 biases piston member 34 to the right (as shown in the drawing) and a one-way clutch 19 avoids overspeeding of the ring gear 17. <IMAGE>

Title: Detection of defects in tubes by ultrasonic techniques
IPC: G01N29/24
Filed: 1981-05-20
Abstract: Longitudinally extending defects D such as "galling" in tubes, for example, heat exchange tubes, are detected by directing ultrasonic beam energy from an internally disposed transducer 2 into the tube wall along a chordal path to induce circumferentially extending shear waves. Return echoes from defects follow the same path. The ultrasonic probe 1 is rotatable about an axis 4 and may have separate transmitting and receiving transducers arranged one above the other. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2081849-A (GB)
Title: Valve assembly
IPC: B66D5/26
Filed: 1981-07-10
Abstract: When reversible hydraulic motor (1) is connected to pump (2) by reversing valve (4), it receives fluid via a check valve (6 or 9), and a parking brake (26) is released by fluid transmitted from the supply line (5 or 8) via one flow sensing valve (14 or 19) and shuttle valve (22). Fluid leaving the motor passes via the other flow sensing valve (19 or 14) and brake valve (17 or 12), the latter flow sensing valve (19 or 14) then assuming the Figure 2 position so that the pressure upstream of the brake valve (17 or 12) is supplied to the shuttle valve (22). Upon setting the reversing valve (4) to neutral, the brake valve (17 or 21) causes hydrostatic braking, the parking brake being kept released by the pressure upstream of the brake valve until the motor has stopped, at which stage the flow sensing valve (19 or 14) resets and the brake is reengaged. <IMAGE>

IPC: F02D41/40
Filed: 1983-06-22
Abstract: A fuel injection pumping apparatus for supplying fuel to an internal combustion engine includes a cylinder 10 in which is located a fluid pressure operable piston 11. An outlet 12 extends from one end of the cylinder and a valve 13 controls the flow of fuel to the one end of the cylinder from a fuel source 14. Also provided is an engine driven cam 18 for actuating a plunger 16 reciprocable in a bore 15. A second valve 20 controls fluid flow from the bore to the other end of the cylinder and the valve is controlled by an electromagnetic actuator 22. Transducer means responsive to the position of the cam 18 provides signals to control the actuator 22, the amount of fuel which flows into the one end of the cylinder being a function of the angular movement of the cam during which the valve 20 is open and the plunger 16 is retracting. An electronic control system is able to produce a signal representative of the amount of fuel entering the cylinder from the measured angular movement of the cam and the profile of its trailing face. <IMAGE>
