Title: Release mechanism for remote-controlled missiles
IPC: F42B15/04
Filed: 1961-12-18
Abstract: 947,433. Guided missiles. L. BOLKOW, [trading as BOLKOW ENTWICKLUNGEN KOMM.- GES.]. Dec. 18, 1961 [Dec. 20, 1960], No. 45253/61. Headings F3A and F3C. In a missile comprising a casing 1 and a coil 4 from which a cable 3 is paid out during flight and in which the external end of the cable is connected to a transmitter 6 via an anchor 5, a release mechanism for triggering an operable device of the missile is actuated by the uncoiling of one of the turns of the coil. The missile may also be remote-controlled by electrical signals received direct from the transmitter. In the embodiment of Fig. 1 a wire 8 connected to a loop 7 and a release device 9 constitutes a release mechanism which arms an operable device including a striker pin 11 and explosive charge 12 when the loop 7 is paid out. The strength of the wire 8 is sufficient to operate device 9 before breaking. Similarly, the circuit of a control device 15 is interrupted when a conductor 13 is broken by the withdrawal of loop 14 and a further loop 16 withdraws an insulating strip 17 to allow electrical contacts 18 to meet and complete a circuit including a battery 20 and a bridge wire 21, thereby igniting a pyrotechnic flare composition 22. The end 23 of the strip 17 may be coated with corundum, silica carbide or similar material to clean the contacts 18 as it is withdrawn. In the embodiment of Fig. 3, wires 59, 66 are released at predetermined intervals during the paying out of cable 42 thereby allowing levers 51, 52 respectively to move under the actions of springs 49, 50. The lever 51 closes an electrical circuit by allowing contacts 64, 65 to meet and lever 52 releases an object 72. A safety device comprising a rotatable disc 53 with radial extensions 54 locks the levers 51, 52 before launching; unlocking occurs by movement of a lever 56 to remove the extensions 54 from the forked ends 57, 58 of the levers. In a further embodiment, a clew of cable is held within a ring of foam plastic, the turns of the clew being lightly stuck together and the clew itself being lightly stuck to the ring. Other cable-controlled operations are mentioned including the release of a parachute.

Title: Method of and a apparatus for the manufacture of electrical conductors
IPC: D01H1/08
Filed: 1973-09-27
Abstract: 1450084 Method and device for making conductors; pot spinning PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 27 Sept 1973 [30 Sept 1972] 45286/73 Headings D1F and D1T An electrical conductor is made by bundling a number of individual metal wires C, Fig. 1, to form a strand F, optionally feeding the strand to a twisting device L, and then winding the resultant product onto a spool K, the spool being subsequently mounted at 33, Fig. 2, to supply the strand to a twisting device 1 comprising a vertically reciprocated pipe 9 feeding the strand F into a rotating container 3, the strand being spun against the inner wall of the container by centrifugal force and undergoing a twisting action as it does so, the tail end of the strand F being secured to the spool 29 so that when the spool is emptied continued rotation of the spool causes the strand F to be drawn back out of the rotating container 3 to insert a further twist into the strand.  At the instant that the spool 29 is emptied the trajectory of the strand F moves from path b to path c at which stage the spool is completely empty. Continued rotation of the spool then causes the trajectory of the strand F to move to path d and rewinding then commences. The movement of the strand through paths b, c and d displaces a switch bar from setting 97' to 97" to cause the pipe 9 to instantly reverse whatever direction of motion it has at that instant, such reversal of direction being followed by normal traverse motion. The container 3 continues its rotation without reversal of direction. A dancer roller 75 causes the setting of the pipe 9, during the re-winding of the strand F onto the spool 33, to be continually adjusted such that the tension in the strand is at a minimum, a condition that occurs when the lower end of the pipe 9 is exactly level with the point at which the strand is being wound off the winding in the container 3.

Abstract: 1466602 Voltage monitoring SIEMENS AG 18 Oct 1974 [18 Oct 1973] 45297/74 Heading G1U A plurality of voltages, notionally divided into a set of groups, are sequentially sampled repeatedly and a switch is provided whereby any one group can be selected to cause its voltages, when they are sampled, to be stored and displayed. As described the voltages represent the anode currents in a chlorine making process and each group corresponds to the anodes of one electrolysis bath. Further, after each group of voltages has been sampled they are compared with various pre-set values, no details given, and an indicator, associated with that group, is energized if any out of tolerance value is detected. Thus in use the system repeatedly and sequentially monitors the anode currents. When any electrolysis bath is found to be out of tolerance in any way its identity is indicated, whereupon an operator can set the switch to its number to cause all the anode currents for that bath to be displayed. As described digital stores, preceeded, and followed, by D-to-A converters are used.

Patent GB-461628-A (GB)
Abstract: 461,628. Photometric apparatus. LEITZ GES., E., and SCHAFER, W. Aug. 19, 1935, No. 23279. [Class 97 (i)] Light from a suitable source is directed into a fluid, the dust &c. content of which is to be determined, and the light reflected from the suspended particles into an observation system oblique to the incident light is compared with light of measured intensity, the fluid being contained within a closed chamber formed of, or lined with, dark plates to form a dark background for the reflected light. In the form shown, the lamp C is in circuit with a battery L, switch L<1>, adjustable resistance L<2>, and ammeter L<3>, and light therefrom is directed by condenser C<1> on to an oblique transparent window D. Part of the light is transmitted through the window D into the fluid under test, which fills a chamber A lined with black glass plates and closed at its ends by closely fitting sliding doors (not shown). The light reflected by suspended particles is viewed through the oblique observation tube E<1>. Part of the light incident on the window D is reflected to form a comparison light beam and is passed through a pair of polarizing prisms, of which one O is fixed and the other O<1> rotatable. The comparison beam is then passed via prisms G, G<1>, into the eyepiece E<2> and viewed simultaneously with the light reflected from the suspended particles. In use the polarizing prism 0 <1>, which carries a transparent scale O<2> illuminated by part of the comparison beam reflected at Q and Q<1>, is turned until the two light beams appear of equal intensity. A plate H having a known absorptive and dispersive effect may be inserted in the light path for calibration purposes. An auxiliary lens K may be moved into the observation tube E<1> to focus the latter on the dust particles. The apparatus is contained in a flame-proof casing M. In a modification, the polarizing prisms O, O<1> are replaced by an adjustable diaphragm and an adjacent matt disc. Plates of different light weakening capacities may be inserted in the tube F<1> to enable the range of measurement to be changed.
