Title: Improvement in transfer sheets for manifolding and like purposes
IPC: B41M5/10
Filed: 1924-10-06
Abstract: 244,207. Campbell, C. Oct. 6, 1924. Carbon papers and like transfer material. - Transfer sheets for manifolding and like purposes are rendered more durable by forming them from a sheet of textile fabric having on one face a coating of paper fibres, which is impregnated with a transfer material. The paper is preferably combined with the fabric during the making of the paper, for example, by feeding the fabric into the paper-making machine on the screen or wire gauze of the machine at a point where the paper pulp is fed. from the flow-box on to the fabric. The fabric is thus coated on one side with the pulp or fibres, which become united therewith without the use of adhesive. Alternatively, the fabric may be combined with the paper after the paper has passed the first squeeze-rolls. A number of layers of fabric may be embodied in a single sheet, or a layer of pulp may be interposed between two layers of fabric. The fabric and the paper may be combined together only partly, or in places.

Title: Improvements in or relating to lubrication in a seal bearing carrier
IPC: F16N7/32
Filed: 1956-08-07
Abstract: 812,186. Lubricating. GARRETT CORPORATION. Aug. 7, 1956 [Sept. 21, 1955], No. 24149/56. Class 12 (3). A lubrication system for a sealed bearing carrier for high-speed rotating machinery having a shaft and a rotating assembly supported by said carrier comprises means for supplying a lubricant mist to the bearing within the carrier and further means on said shaft for evacuating the interior thereof. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, a turbine-driven fluid-circulating unit comprises a bearing carrier 11 supporting a shaft 24 in bearings 13, 14 which are held in place by end plugs 15, 16, wick-retainers 17, 18, oil-retaining washers 19 and a spring 20. The shaft 24 is secured in the bearings by a shoulder 25, oil slingers 26, 27, a sleeve 28 with ramps at the ends and a nut 29, and is formed with a labyrinth type of sealing member 30 co-operating with a sleeve 31 fixed in the end plug 15. The shaft has a flange 32 to which are bolted a turbine wheel 33 and a fan 34. The wheel 33 has a sealing member 36 cooperating with a sealing member 37 in fan inlet housing 38. As the shaft 24 rotates, lubricant fed from washers 19 to the wicks 39 is thrown out as a mist by centrifugal force from the ramps of sleeve 28 to the bearings and returned by slingers 26, 27 to grooves 40 and hence back to the washers 19. To prevent oil escaping past the labyrinth seal 30, the shaft 24 is provided with a coaxial bore 41 terminating at one end in a coned cavity 42 within the bearing carrier 11 and at the other end in a diametrical slot 43 outside the carrier. As the shaft 24 rotates the slot functions as a pump to draw oil mist to the bore 41. The oil is collected by the cavity 42 and thrown off by centrifugal force and air alone is evacuated from bore 41, so that the interior of the bearing carrier 11 is at a lower pressure than the exterior and there is a pressure differential across the seal 30 to prevent escape of oil therethrough. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 4, the oil sump 44 with absorbent material is outside the carrier 11 and oil is conveyed to the interior by wicks 45. There are seals 30 and 46 at both ends of the carrier and leakage of oil is prevented by an axial bore 48 and a diametral bore 49 within the shaft 47, the sleeve 28a being formed with holes 51 communicating with the bore 49. The shaft 47 is screw-threaded at 53 to receive a shaft 54 carrying an impeller wheel 55 and is formed with radial passages 58 which act during the rotation of the shaft 47 as a pump to draw air in the oil mist out of the bearing burner, the oil being thrown off by centrifugal force through the bore 49 and holes 51 back to the carrier.

Abstract: 415,588. Road - traffic signals on vehicles. BRUMM, E., 11<bis>, Rue St.- Gervais, Lyons, France. Aug. 31, 1933, No. 24171. Convention date, Aug. 31, 1932. [Class 118 (ii).] A manoeuvre-signalling device is operated by a knee switch mounted in the same casing as and parallel with a knee switch controlling an audible signal so that both signals can be operated simultaneously. The audible control makes its contacts before the manoeuvre indicator control becomes effective so that the audible signal can be used independently. The indicator comprises a compartmented casing, Figs. 2 and 3, with means to illuminate the arrows 4, 5 and the word STOP either by neon or like tubes 8, 9, 10, fed from the ignition circuit or by batteryfed lamps. The illumination of the arrows is controlled by the knee switch whilst illumination of the word " stop " is controlled from the brake pedal. A tell-tale 37, Fig. 5, is provided in the switch casing, and the compartmented casing, which is mounted inside the rear window of the vehicle, has windows 15 opposite the lamps so that the driver can check the operation through the driving-mirror. The knee switches are mounted on the steering-column and can be placed with the main mounting in front of or behind the steering-column to allow for various lengths of leg. A spring-held serrated washer fixing allows the control levers to be swung down parallel to the steering column when the driver is mounting or dismounting. The operating levers 21, 22 (Fig. 5) for the audible and visual alarms respectively are mounted one above the other and are pivoted about spindle 20. Lever 21 carries contact strip 24 which is normally held between contact studs 25, 26. When lever 21 is moved to either right or left, strip 24 contacts with either stud and completes a circuit to the audible alarm. The lever is returned to normal by spring 29 and is held by spring-pressed ball 28. The lower lever 22 carries contact strip 31 which, when displaced, bridges either contacts 33 and 34 or contacts 35 and 36 to complete the visual alarm circuits. This lever is retained in its operative and inoperative positions by the spring-pressed ball 40 and when released, is restored by spring 32 to its central position. The test lamp 37 is illuminated when lever 22 is in its operative position.
