Title: Gauge for checking the camber, castor and king-pin angles of vehicle steering road wheels
IPC: G01C9/26
Filed: 1954-08-12
Abstract: 778.227. Measuring the inclinations of vehicle road wheels. TURNER, W.. and ASKEW. G. July 20. 1955 [Aug. 12, 1954], No. 23450/54. Class 97(2) A gauge for measuring, for example, the camber castor and king pin angles of vehicle road wheels comprises a dial 10 rotatably mounted, and capable of being set in two mutually perpendicular directions, in a platform 17 which can be attached to a vehicle wheel spindle by a clamp 30 about which it can be angularly adjusted by wing nuts 32 and 36. Dial 10 carries a spirit level 11 in a calibrated casing 12. A spring-loaded ball-catch may locate the dial 10 with the spirit level aligned with either marks 26 or marks 27. Preferably, the casing 12 is of U-shaped cross-section and the callibrations 13, 14, provided on the top edges and outside faces thereof, define segments of a circle concentric with the circular arc formation of the spirit level. The reading on scale 13 gives the deviation of the platform from the horizontal in degrees of arc thus giving the camber of a vehicle wheel with the axis of which the spirit level is aligned or parallel. The castor angle is measured on the scale 14 by adjusting the spirit level to zero about the axis of pivot 33, the vehicle wheels being turned, and taking the reading with the wheels turned in the opposite direction. The king-pin angle is measured in an exactly similar way, the spirit level being aligned with marks 27 and adjusted to zero about the axis of pivot 31. The camber may alternatively be measured by placing the edge 41 of the platform 17 in contact with two vertically spaced points on the rim of the vehicle wheel, the spirit level being aligned with marks 27 and turned about its axis, by means of trunnions 15 rotating in bearing blocks 16, so that it can be read from above. The calibrations 13 and 14 may be differently coloured.

Filed: 1957-07-24
Abstract: 833,074. Liquefied-gas fuelled lighters. NEWMAN, S. H. July 24, 1957 [July 26, 1956], No. 23485/57. Class 75(3) In a lighter using liquefied gas the gasflow control valve fitting 1, which may be permanently fitted as by soldering to the fuel tank, comprises an externally adjustable screwed sleeve 25 which bears on the flange of an inverted cup 15 having a peripheral packing 16 and slidable in the valve fitting 1 and containing in its interior a porous body 17 e.g. of paper to variably compress such body 17 against a fixed abutment piece 11 on which the inverted cup 15 telescopically slides and on a head of which abutment piece 11 are positioned portions of wicks 12 by which the fuel, in liquid phase, is fed into contact with the porous body 17, the fuel then evaporating from the top of the porous body to pass in gaseous phase, through a small bore in the base of the inverted cup 15 when operation of the lighter mechanism causes the normally downwardly urged burner stem 32 to remove a valve pad 34 (housed in a hollow piston-like head of the stem) from the exit end of the bore 19. The porous body is compressed to different degrees over its surface by reason of the head of the abutment piece being of convex form and the porous body has a marginal portion spaced away from the inner side wall of the cup so that by raising the valve pad 34 and easing back the screwed compressing sleeve 25 the casing may be refilled with liquid fuel which can pass by the bore 19 to the now unobstructed space below the base of the inverted cup and so to the wicks 12 and into the casing. Fig. 3 shows a porous body of square shape so as to leave marginal portions 55. Specification 732,985 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in mixtures of diisocyanate-modified polyesters and fillers and method of making same
IPC: C08L75/04
Filed: 1955-08-22
Abstract: A mouldable paste consists of a liquid reaction product of 1 mol. of a hydroxyl-terminated polyester with at least 2 mols. of an organic di-isocyanate, additional di-isocyanate to bring the total to at least 3 mols., and starch (preferably not more than 150 parts by weight of starch per 100 parts of the other two ingredients).  Mixing of the starch with the isocyanate mixture and reaction between the two may be effected at room temperature up to 180 DEG  C.  Mixing may continue during the reaction or the uniform mixture may be left to stand until reaction has brought it to a desired consistency, whereupon it is shaped and cured by heat and pressure.  If desired the additional di-isocyanate may be added after incorporation of the starch.  Water may also be added at this stage-preferably 1-2 mols. per mol. of polyester.  The polyester used in the examples was prepared from adipic acid, ethylene glycol and propylene glycol and had a molecular weight of 1950, hydroxyl value 50 and acid value 2. In examples: (1) 1 mol. of hydroxy-terminated polyester was modified with 2 mols. of p.p1-diphenyl methane di-isocyanate and the product mixed with corn starch for 20 minutes at 90 DEG  C.  The paste was sheeted and cured for 2 hours at 130 DEG  C. to yield a leathery product.  (2) A polyester modified with p.p1-diphenylmethane-di-isocyanate was mixed with starch.  Additional di-isocyanate and colouring matter were incorporated, and the pasty mass was press cured for 2 hours at 130 DEG  C.  The leathery product was particularly suitable for shoes or handbags.  In Example (3) water is added with the additional di-isocyanate and corn starch is compared with rice starch.  Example (4) uses a large amount of starch producing a hard product of good impact strength.

Filed: 1932-08-29
Abstract: 411,417. Valve amplifying circuits. AIGNER, F., Technische Hochschule, 4, Karlsplatz, Vienna. Aug. 29, 1932, No. 24109. Void [Abridged as open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Aug. 29, 1932]. [Class 40 (v).] Consists of a special method of reproducing recorded sound, whereby fidelity of reproduction as regards intensity differences may be attained. For this purpose, rectifiers are used in such a way as to effect a " dynamic modulation ", i.e. modulation of the degree of amplification effected by the reproducing system. As shown in the Figure a transformer T<1> applies alternating potential to the grids of two valves V<1>, V<4>, arranged in push-pull. A valve V<3>, serving as an amplifying rectifier, is connected as shown to the anode battery A, the control of the valve V<3> being effected through a transformer T<3>, the input of which is connected to the input side of the transformer T<1>. With this arrangement, using a valve V<3> with a suitable characteristic, the degree of amplification of the system is proportional to a power of the applied alternating potential. This modulation of the degree of amplification may be increased by the use of several amplifying stages. Any suitable known method of modulating high frequency oscillations may be used for carrying out the invention.

Title: Improvements in or relating to interrogation-reply systems
IPC: G01S13/78
Filed: 1971-04-19
Abstract: 1300697 Responder SIEMENS AG 19 April 1971 [6 Feb 1970] 24110/71 Heading H4L An aircraft responder protected against interference from an enemy, is interrogated by a friendly station by means of a code which changes from one interrogation to the next according to a pattern known to both station and responder and replies to the correct code with a coded response, the code of which also changes according to a mutually known pattern. When a predetermined situation is determined at the responder, the normal response code is replaced by one which would normally occur at a future time. The interrogating station is then made aware of the situation. A crypto-computer 3 supplies the series of interrogation codes to stores S2Z, S1Z, SG, S1V, S2V; a code passing from one store to the next at the end of an interrogation period. Store SG holds the code expected at the present time, stores S2Z, S1Z respectively hold the codes expected two and one interrogation periods in the future; and stores SIV, S2V respectively hold the codes which should have occurred one and two interrogation periods previously. The computer 3 similarly supplies the response codes to "three, two and one periods in the future" stores S3Z<SP>1</SP>, S2Z<SP>1</SP> and S1Z<SP>1</SP>, respectively, to present store SG<SP>1</SP> and to immediately past store S1V<SP>1</SP>. The contents of the interrogation code stores S2Z ... S2V are compared with the incoming code at 4 in comparators K2Z ... K2V. An agreement causes the respective one of the comparators to feed an enabling signal to the corresponding AND gate UG1Z ... UG1V and the corresponding response code is transmitted at 5. If however the predetermined situation occurs a special signal device, automatically or manually actuated, feeds an enabling signal to AND gate UGS such that the response code, which should occur three periods in the future, is transmitted. If the computer 3 is in advance of the corresponding computer in the interrogating station, the incoming interrogation code will possibly be the same as that in stores S1V or S2V. The resultant signal from comparator K1V or K2V is fed to a correction unit 2 for resynchronism of the computer 3. The connection of comparator K1V to AND gate UG1V ensures that the interrogator receives the response code he is expecting. A similar computer correction takes place if the computer 3 is lagging, either comparator K1Z or K2Z giving the correction output. The normally transmitted response code may be inhibited when the special signal is transmitted. Fig. 2 (not shown).

Abstract: 349,384. Implements for working land. AKTIEBOLAGET ÍFVERMUS BRUK, Íverum, Sweden. Aug. 12, 1930, No. 24140. Convention date, April 22. Addition to 309,579, [Class 6 (i), Cultivating implements &c.]. [Class 6 (i).] A modification of the spring-controlled device described in the parent Specification for releasing a pivoted plough body in a motor or tractor plough when it meets an obstruction, comprises a movable stop member 23 not normally acted upon by the spring but controlled by the two-armed releasing lever 16 and moved by it into position to take up the spring pressure and prevent it from acting on the lever as soon as the latter is turned into position to release the plough body. The front end of the pivoted plough beam 5 normally engages an adjustable stop 21 on the frame 1 and is held in place by a roller 17 on the pivoted lever 16, the upper end of this lever 16 being shaped as a cam 19 part of which is concentric with the pivot 15. A roller 13 mounted in the guided fork-head 11 of the spring- controlled rod 7 bears against the rear edge of the lever 16. The forked stop member 23 is pivoted on a bracket and carries a roller 24 engaging in a slot 25 in the lever 16. When the lever 16 turns to release the beam 5 it first presses back the roller 13 and then passes under it. As it moves it pulls down the stop member 23 until this engages the roller and thus takes up the spring pressure, the point of contact of the member 23 and roller 13 then being in the line of the spring pressure, which line passes through the pivot 22 of the member 23. The strong spring 10 may be compressed by hand by screwing a tool into the tubular rod 7 into engagement with a bolt 8 secured in the supporting bracket 6 and passing through a slot in the rod 7.
