Patent GB-338994-A (GB)
Abstract: 338,994. Deurrieux, A., Pomaredes, J., and Perret, L. June 29, 1928, [Convention date]. Divided on 314,548. Totalizators.-The value standing on a luminous indicator such as those described in Specifications 294,181 and 314,548 may be also shown on numeral drums such as 212 rigid with a slidable boss 213 toothed at one end to engage teeth on a stationary boss 218 and roughened at the other end to receive rotation from a driver 220. Rotating with the shaft 205 carrying the boss and wheel is an arm 204 provided with a brush 206 adapted to sweep over a ring of contacts 201 wired to the digit lamps of the corresponding denomination. When in its rotation therefore, the brush engages an earthed contact the electromagnet 211 is energized to force the boss and wheel to the left, the wheel thus becoming locked and readable at a window. When the earth potential disappears, the boss and wheel again move to the right and resume their rotation. As shown in Fig. 5, a key at 210 may control the electromagnet circuit and if this key is opened and a further key 210<1> closed the numeral wheel may be held stationary while thelamp indicator continues to change. In this condition an inner circle of contacts 203 may be used to control other devices in accordance with the reading thus retained.

Patent GB-1343545-A (GB)
Title: Disc brakes with automatic adjustment means
IPC: F16D65/14
Filed: 1972-07-20
Abstract: 1343545 Spot-type disc brakes; wear-adjusting BENDIX CORP 20 July 1972 33989/72 Heading F2E In the spot-type, sliding caliper, fluid-pressure operated disc brake shown, fluid-pressure operation after pad wear results in piston 32 being spaced from portion 74 of an adjusting member 72 at the annular region 86. Washer 78 attached to the piston thereupon entrains adjusting member 72 via bearing 76, causing it to unscrew out of annular member 61, the effective length of assembly 58 being thereby increased. On relief of fluid pressure, the piston 32 is urged leftwards by seal 36, so piston 32 and portion 74 again make contact at 86, so backward rotation of member 72 is prevented, and the piston can retract only until the clearance between threads is taken up. (Member 61 is prevented from rotating). Over - adjustment during high - pressure ("panic") application is prevented by providing an annular clearance 66, 68, between member 61 and a "seat" 62 forming part of the assembly 58. During normal application, caliper 18 moves leftwards and the far end of member 61 is maintained in contact with a flange on "seat" 62 by a spring 64. When the application pressure is excessive, the pressure in the annular clearance 66, 68, separates member 61 and seat 62, overcoming spring 64. Member 61 thus travels rightwards with member 72 and unscrewing of member 72 is prevented. Re-setting.-When during servicing, access is gained to piston 32, the piston may be pushed to the left to re-screw member 72 into member 61 if, first, a bolt (84), (Fig. 3, not shown), pressing a washer 80 against an adjacent surface of caliper 18 is unscrewed. Washer 80 is splined at 82 to member 61, so normally it prevents it from rotating. When the washer is freed, however, and leftward pressure on piston 32 prevents rotation of member 72 (by contact at 86), this same pressure forces member 61 (and washer 80) to rotate by inter-action of the threads so member 72 is retracted into member 61. Parking. (mechanical) operation is by pivotal movement of a lever 42, Fig. 2, against the force of a torsion spring 48, by cable 46, which by ball and ramp mechanism 50, 52, 56 results in axial movement of the lever and consequent axial movement of piston 32 via bearings 60, "seat" 62 and members 61, 72. Wear adjustment cannot occur. The slope of ramps 50, 52, is non-uniform, the initial part providing for quick take-up of clearances, the later part providing for high force multiplication.  In Fig. 4 (not shown), pressure fluid is applied through an orifice at the left end of the caliper, through a tube (90) extending through ramp member 54 and lever 42, and through a passage (94) in the end of "seat" 62.

Refrigerating, absorption machines, and processes for.-The pipe 10, acting alternately as a gas flow pipe from the generator 2 to the condenser 4 and as a liquid seal during the " pumping" action as set forth in the parent Specification, is so arranged that it is effectively sealed with liquid upon the initial fall of liquid level in the generator. Preferably the pipe is S-shaped, and of small volume in its upper part, which preferably leads into quiet liquid in an auxiliary chamber 9 in communication with the generator. The pipe connects with an overflow chamber 11 from which the gas flow pipe rises to the rectifier 3 and condenser. The return liquor pipe 15 from the absorber 7 passes through an exchanger 8 formed in the " pumping " pipe 13 leading from the bottom of the generator to the absorber. The height P of the " pumping " pipe should he less than the height h of the sealing pipe 10 and the latter not greater than the height s of the part of the pipe 15 in the generator. A pipe 12 returns liquor from the chamber 11, together with any liquid from the rectifier, into the pipe 15, and forms a vent for the escape of evolved gas from the pipe 15 to the condenser. Alternatively the liquor may flow from the chamber 11 to the absorber, and the rectifier may be combined with the chamber 11. A gas interchanger is provided between the absorber and the evaporator 5.
