Filed: 1947-05-09
Abstract: 627,444. Regulating liquid levels. JONES, G. O. May 9, 1947, No. 12583. [Class 123(i)] [Also in Group XXIX] The level of liquid air at low pressure, or other liquid refrigerant, etc. in a Dewar flask &c. 40 is maintained by a valve 13 which controls the liquid flow thereto through a supply tube 38 and is actuated by a tube 8 of good thermal conductivity connected to an end plate 3 of a collapsable sealed container 1, the latter being filled with a gas that condenses at the temperature of the liquid. The tube 8, which is welded to the end plate 3 at 51 and is provided within the container 1 with a communicating hole or holes 14, passes through the lower container plate 2 in a fluid-tight manner and through the top 41 of the flask 40, and it is fitted with an extension 11 of relatively low thermal conductivity which is plugged at its upper end 12 and has the valve 13 mounted at its lower end. The tube 11 and the lower part of the tube 8 are surrounded by a tube 20, also of low conductivity, which is, in effect, an extension of the supply tube 38 and is provided along its length, between the valve 13 and plug 12, with perforations 39. The arrangement is such that liquid will flow into the flask as long as its level is below the plug 12, but, when it reaches the tube 8, some of the gas in the container will be cooled and condense to cause the upper plate 3 of the latter to fall, the valve 13 moving, as a consequence, to closing position to stop the flow. Finger means 33 may be provided for cutting out the control and maintaining the valve 13 open or, alternatively, closing the valve positively.

Filed: 1923-05-10
Abstract: 208,505. Maynes, H. F. Dec. 18, 1922, [Convention date]. Roundabouts. - The invention rela.tes to roundabouts of the type described in Specification 197,685. in which a collapsable, canopy is employed to cover the cars at intervals during the ride, and consists in operating the canopy by means of the movement of the cars themselves. The cars 6 are carried by sweeps 5 pivotally mounted at their inner ends on a spider 4 and carrying wheels 7 which run on a track 8. Each canopy 18 is carried by jaw-like supports 19 mounted on rods 20 extending from the back of each car 6. A pulley 22 is secured to each rod 20 and carries a pin 23 engaging the uppermost pair of supports 20, so that as the pulley 22 is rotated by means of a cable 25, the canopy is unfolded to extend over the car. The inner ends of the cables 25 are secured to a drum 24, which is normally rotating on a central pipe 1, but which can be held stationary on the pipe by means of a rod 31 operated by a link 34. A clutch member 29 is slidably mounted on the pipe 1 and can be depressed by the rod 31 to bring teeth 30 into engagement with teeth 28 carried by a sleeve 26 integral with the spider 4, thus exerting a pull on the cables 25 and unfolding the canopy, which normally rests in its folded position on the sweeps 5. Cams 36, 38 interengage to release the drum when the canopy is unfolded and a latch 39 engaging a lug 40 on the spider 4 prevents any backward movement of the drum 24. This latch is raised with the clutch 29 to fold the canopies and a brake-band 47 is pressed against a brakedrum to check the folding. The canopies are returned to their folded position by means of springs 42 and 41, the latter springs also serving to support the canopies between the supports 19. Additional cables 25 may also be secured to the drum 24 to equalize the pull of the springs 41, 42 when they do not act on the whole circumference of the apparatus owing to the undulatory form of the ride. Spring sections 50 serve to keep the cables 25 taut, and provide for variations in length of the cables.Blowers 51 may be provided to blow air through holes in the bottoms of the cars 6 and partitions may be provided between the cars. The roundabout is driven by means of a cable 12 which passes over guides 13 secured to the sweeps 5, driving and idler pulleys being employed, one being fitted with a brake.

Abstract: 1420862 Advancing mine roof supports GEWERKSCHAFT EISENHUTTE WESTFALIA 15 March 1973 [16 March 1972] 12614/73 Heading E1P In a hydraulically operated mine roof support system comprising a group of roof support units adapted to be advanced in ordered sequence from one or other end of the group, see Fig. 1 (not shown), depending upon which of two input lines to the shifting means is energized, the control system for actuating the shifting means comprises two devices, each of which is adapted to supply pressure fluid to a respective one of the said input lines, and interlock means preventing one such device being actuated to this end whilst the other is so operationally set. Each control and locking means comprises a housing 20, 21, 42 having a rotatable disc 22 which is mounted on bearings 37 and has a hollow spigot 23 carrying a seal 25. The disc 22 also has a spring-loaded valve 27 and a hollow axial shaft 28 provided with packings 29, 30. The shaft 28 receives a bushing 31 having a plunger 32 which is adapted to open the non- return valve 27, the plunger 32 being actuated by a lever 34 having a cam surface 36. The housing is provided with conduits 38, 39, 40, 43-48, arranged as shown and the conduit 43 terminates in a plug P intended for connection to the main pressure line; the conduit 45 terminating in a plug PA for connection to the automatic shifting means. The conduit 47 is aligned with the conduit 40 when the assembly 31, 34, 22 is rotated; the conduit 48 leading to a return conduit for the shifting rams of the units. The assembly 31, 34, 22 may be rotated into a neutral position, a position to shift the conveyor and a position to move the supports in sequence. The locking mechanism ensures that the assembly 34, 31, 22 can only be rotated in the direction of the arrow T so that the shifting of the units 1-10 can only be effected after the conveyor has been moved. The locking mechanism has a spring- loaded plunger 51 in the disc 22 which is adapted to co-operate with holding shoulders 56 in a cam surface formed in the housing part 21. Fluid pressure in the locking line disposed between the two locking mechanisms is fed through a connector 63 to depress a piston 61 against the action of its spring 62, the piston bearing on the surface of the disc 22 until such time as it enters a recess 66 therein.

IPC: H01R43/058
Filed: 1956-04-25
Abstract: 798,134. Making electrical components; jointing by stamping. AIRCRAFT-MARINE PRODUCTS, Inc. April 25, 1956 [April 25, 1955], No. 12682/56. Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4). A tool for crimping an electrical connector on to an electrical conductor comprises a pair of die sets mounted side by side to operate simultaneously, the first die set co-operating to crimp a ferrule of the connector to the conductor and the second die set co-operating to crimp an insulation support portion of the connector to an insulated part of the conductor, and supports for the dies of the second die set mounted on the first die set with interconnected means to render said supports adjustable without removal from the tool so that the distance between the dies of the second set can be altered without altering the distance between the dies of the first die set. The die assembly includes crimping members A and B. Each member has a supporting plate 12 for the crimping means 14 and one member has a crimping die-plate 16 integral with the plate 12 and the other a conductor indenting anvil. A pair of flare plates 18, 18<SP>1</SP> are positioned one on each side of the die-plate 16. The insulation crimping plate 14 has a projection 26 on one side of the die 28 and a step 30 on the other, the projection 26 of the crimping means of member A engaging the step 30 of the crimping means of member B and vice versa. To provide for adjustment of the crimping dies a slot 32 having steps 34, 36, 38 is provided in the crimping plate 14 at the edge that seats on the supporting plate 12. A spring-loaded wedge assembly 40 having a rectangularly-shaped shoulder 42 adjusts the position of the crimping plate 14. The steps 34, 36, 38 of the crimping plate seat on the rectangular shoulder 42. Screws 46 passing through slotted holes in the crimping plate 14 hold the plates and the wedge assembly in proper alignment. In operation, the members A and B are secured to the opposing jaws of the crimping press and an insulated connector barrel 60 and the bare end 62 of a conductor 63 are placed in the crimping die 21. The insulated skirt of the connector seats in the insulation crimping dies 28 and the insulation extends no further than the inner flare plate 18. When the press jaws are closed the conductor crimping die 21 and the anvil co-operate to crimp the conductor on to the ferrule portion 64 on the connector and the insulation crimping dies 28 crimp the skirt 66 of the connector on to the insulation of the conductor, (Fig. 9). The flare plates act as tapering means between the dies 21 and 28 to prevent the formation of sharp corners and tearing of the insulation. One of the flare plates is cut away to expose the dies to enable the degree of closure of said dies to be observed.

Abstract: 375,930. Heating or distilling coal or other solids. MOORE, S., 37, Cable Road, Hoylake, Cheshire. April 30, 1931, No. 12696. [Classes 51 (ii) and 55 (i).] In the distillation of coal, shale or other solid fuel, or the calcination of solids, the material is conveyed through a number of horizontal retorts in a series of separate charges and contact with the retort floors by an individual endless band in each retort having scrapers, the retorts being externally heated in a common heating jacket by means ensuring their temperature regulation. The material is fed from a hopper 14 through delivery conduits 13, each having a rotary inlet valve 15, and leading to a number of superposed horizontal retorts 4 in a setting 1. The material is conveyed through each retort by push-plates 5a on an endless band conveyer, the charge being about 2 inches in depth and moving at about inch per minute, the feeding devices 15 being rotated from the gearing 8, 10 which actuates the conveyers, to ensure a controlled feed. The residue is discharged into conduits 20 through crushing rollers 19a. It is stated that a thin skin of carbonized material is formed between two scrapers, which acts as a support for the charge and on which the latter is carried through the retort. The retorts are heated externally by gases generated in a producer 31, and passed through conduits 32, 35, 36 to the space next the outside circles of the setting 1. Air, preheated by passage through flues 48 in the base of the heating chamber, enters above the gas ducts 35, and the combustion product pass first up the spaces 50, and then down the spaces 52 between the retorts, to outlet conduits 55, 56. The distillates are withdrawn through valved pipes 27, Fig. 10, branched from each retort, and leading to a main conduit 29. In a modification, Fig. 11, the supply hopper 14 communicates through a valve 15a with a supplementary hopper 65 leading by a conduit 66 to the extension 4a of each retort. The charge is delivered on to a baffle 67 and carried by the push-plates on to the bottom of the retort, along which it is pushed, hinged plates 69, 71 spreading the material in each compartment of the conveyer, and compressing or preventing expansion of the charge.
