Title: Improvements in brake drums
IPC: F16D65/10
Filed: 1925-04-07
Abstract: 231,909. Federal Pressed Steel Co., (Assignees of Hansen, F. D., and Tinker, H. W.). April 7, 1924, [Convention date]. Brakes. - Ribs 8 are pressed in the web or bottom of pressed metal brake drums in order that the flange part f may be rendered truly cylindrical and the web be truly flat or if curved be symmetrical. The drum is as usual formed from sheet steel by an initial pressing operation which gives the web a slightly convex form. It is then put into a suitable die and the web subjected to a sharp powerful blow whereby the web may be given a concave form and the ribs 8 are pressed in it. The ribs are preferably tapered so that they are of greater depth at their inner than at their outer ends and they need not be radial. The web may be flat or convex instead of concave.
Patent GB-916621-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to lift control systems
Inventor: BEDFORD ROGER JOHN
IPC: B66B1/16
Filed: 1960-03-16
Abstract: 916,621. Electric control systems for lifts. EXPRESS LIFT CO. Ltd. March 3, 1961 [March 16, 1960], No. 9291/60. Drawings to Specification. Class 78 (3). A lift system in which, after each stop made by the car, a first step-by-step electric selector switch is traversed automatically over the call register from the position on the call register corresponding to the floor at which the car last stopped and in the intended direction of travel of the car until it picks up a call, is provided with a second step-by-step switch which is moved simultaneously with the first switch to measure the number of floors between the car and call without specific reference to the floors and which controls means for controlling the acceleration, maximum speed and deceleration of the car in dependence upon the number of floors between the floor at which the car last stopped and the call. The switches are actuated by a pulsing circuit which is set into operation when the car leaves a floor and which continues pulsing until either the first selector switch finds a call or the second switch reaches a limit of, say, six floors ahead of the car. When the first selector switch finds a call within six floors of the previous stop, the pulsing circuit is prevented from pulsing and a third step-bystep switch, which is stepped-on each time an inductor on the car passes inductor plates in the shaft defining each floor zone, steps the second switch back until it reaches the datum position at the call floor. If there are no calls within, say, six floors of the previous stop, the pulsing circuit is broken and the third switch steps-on the first switch but not the difference switch as the car passes each floor so that these latter switches keep six floors ahead of the car. The second difference, step-by-step switch has a series of normally closed contacts which are opened in sequence as the switch is stepped through one floor difference to energize relays controlling the car acceleration in dependence upon the number of positions through which the switch is stepped. Means are also provided which are arranged to reset the first switch if its position on the call register does not correspond with the position of the third switch after the car has completed a journey. Specification 563, 808 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to wireless receiving sets
IPC: H03J5/14
Filed: 1940-06-03
Abstract: 543,574. Selective control systems. PHILIPS LAMPS, Ltd. June 3, 1940, No. 9703. Convention date, June 5, 1939. [Class 40 (i)] [Also in Group XXXVI] An arrangement for adjusting a sliding electrode condenser 35 comprises a small electric motor which drives a wheel 23 on a hollow spindle 25 having a friction drive to a spindle 26 carrying a gear wheel 27 in engagement with a wheel 29 to which is fixed a member 30 formed with helical cam surfaces 31, 32. A roller 33 is mounted in a gap in body 30 so as to roll on the outer surface of a cylindrical metal body 19 freely mounted on the same spindle 47 as the wheel 29. The body 19 has bearing on it a number of contact springs corresponding to individual push buttons '(not shown) the arrangement being such that when a particular button is pressed, the motor is energized until the corresponding contact spring engages an insulating part 20 on body 19. When the motor is energized, body 30 is turned through parts 23, 25 and 27 and 29 until roller 33, which normally is diametrically opposed to spindle 25 moves up to engage spindle 25 after which wheel 29 cannot move, and clutch 28 slips. The cam body 30 has acted through roller 34 to move the condenser shaft against spring 36 to a datum position, and now the roller 33 acted on by spindle 25 turns body 19 until the appropriate contact spring engages insulating part 20. This positions an appropriate stop 43 opposite the end of shaft 42 so that when the motor is de-energized condenser shaft 42 returns under the action of spring 36 to its correct setting. At the same time a spring- mounted locating member 37 engages an appropriate recess 40. According as the stations corresponding to the push buttons are in one or other of two wave bands, the motor is arranged to turn in one or other direction to operate the condenser, and this alternative movement of wheel 29 is made use of to operate a wave range switch.

Title: Improvements in or relating to calculating or like accumulators comprising electronic devices
IPC: H03K23/82
Filed: 1944-05-19
Abstract: 600,503. Pulse counting circuits. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. May 19, 1944, No. 9742. Convention date, Sept. 26, 1941. [Class 40 (vi)] In a counting-circuit, a number of pairs of valves are arranged in trigger circuits, pulses being applied to the control grids of all the valves, the pairs being so coupled that they operate in sequence, one pair only reversing in response to a pulse. The control grids of valves 0, 6, 7, 8 and 9 are temporarily earthed, the shading indicating the conducting state, the corresponding valve of the pair being rendered non-conducting, due to the interconnection of the anodes and control grids. The suppressor grid of valve 0 is coupled over condenser 90 to the control grid of valve 6, similar connections being made between the other valves. The first pulse, applied over terminal 95, is fed to the suppressor grid of all the valves over coupling condensers 97 ... 106, the pulses being lost, due to suppressor grid current in the conducting valves and ineffective in the non-conducting valves, with the exception of that applied to valve 5 which, due to coupling over condenser 107 causes the control grid potential of valve 1 to rise and the pair 1, 6 to reverse. Each succeeding pulse continues this process, the tenth pulse causing valve 5 to be cut-off and valve 0 to conduct. A connection may be taken from the anode of valve 5 to produce a positive pulse which is fed to a tens counter. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the incoming pulses are applied directly to the control grids of each valve, the coupling condensers corresponding to condenser 90 being made larger in order that the suppressor grid current may produce sufficient attenuation. The anode potentials may be scanned by a rotary switch to locate a conducting valve or valves and control an indicator.

Abstract: 759,493. Purifying gases. BRENNSTOFFTECHNIK GES. April 13, 1953 [April 18, 1952], No. 9936/53. Class 55(2). In a process for recovering pitch and tar oils from low temperature distillation gases, the gases are treated in an electrostatic precipitator at a temperature between 240‹-260‹C. and the condensate from the precipitator is used to scrub the gases in a scrubber before they enter the precipitator whereby the last traces of low boiling point tar oil and light oils are removed from the condensate. As shown in Fig. 1 crude gases pass via collecting main 2, line 3 and a heater or cooler 4 to a scrubber 5 and thence at a temperature of between 240‹-260‹C. by line 7 to an electrostatic precipitator 8 with plates 10 subjected to a high D.C. voltage and finally to a condenser 11 where light oils are separated from the gases which then leave by an outlet 12. Pitch and high boiling point oils are separated in precipitator 8 and pass through line 23 into a tank 19 where they are mixed with condensate from collecting main 2 and line 3. The mixture in tank 19 is pumped partly by pump 21 and line 22 to main 2 and partly by pump 24, heater or cooler 20 and line 25 to sprays 26 arranged in the scrubber 5. From the scrubber 5 the mixture, stripped of any low boiling point constituents, passes through a mixer 28 with an overflow leading back to the tank 19 and line 31 to a distillation unit 33, where it is distilled into pitch and high boiling point tar oil fractions which collect in tanks 34 and 35. The condensate from condenser 11 is treated in a separator 14 and water leaves by line 15 and tne light oils flow into a tank 17. In a modification the precipitator 8 and scrubber 5 are arranged in one housing, tde precipitator being superimposed on tne scrubber.
