Title: Improvements in flexible or indestructible wings or mudguards for motor vehicles, cycles and the like
IPC: B62J15/00
Filed: 1932-12-05
Abstract: 403,799. Mudguards. RAY, A. W., 68, Fairleigh Drive, Leigh-on-Sea. Dec. 5, 1932, No. 34414. [Class 136 (i).] In flexible mudguards for motor vehicles, cycles, &c., of the type having a metal reinforcement within rubber or similar pliable material, the reinforcement is constituted by a relatively thick strong stem from which spring comparatively thinner and weaker parts, which in turn split up into still thinner and weaker parts, and so on, the parts spreading out in the manner of the branches of a tree or the veins of a leaf, so as to extend throughout the whole or a part of the mudguard. As shown, the reinforcement comprises a number of hardened wires a (each of which may be covered with rubber or rubber tape), bunched or twisted together at b to form a stem, and brazed &c. in a socket c adapted to be bolted &c. to the vehicle. The stem b splits into thinner stems d, from which, at parts more and more remote from the stem b, individual wires are branched off, while others are cut short, the wires in the stems d being held together by sheet-metal clips g, which are spot-welded in position and serve to attach short lateral sprigs of thinner wire h. One wire a of each stem extends to the edge of the mudguard, where it is clipped to a beading wire j. The reinforcement is covered by rubber k. Further loops, circles, &c. of thin wire may be secured to the stems and to the beading wire j to fill in the gaps. The reinforcement may be of laminar construction, or may be moulded or stamped to the required configuration, and may be combined with canvas. Specification 384,921 is referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to the coin insertion slots of prepayment meters
IPC: G07F15/02
Filed: 1946-11-20
Abstract: 641,939. Prepayment mechanism for gas meters. BEGWACO METERS, Ltd., and BUTTERWORTH, E. Nov. 20, 1946, No. 34438. [Class 27] Coin-slit closing-devices. The operating handle of a prepayment gas meter is secured to a cut-off plate c which, during the initial part of the forward rotation of the handle, first closes the coin insertion slot and then is clutched to the coin holder carrier e in order to turn it, and remains so clutched until the coin holder carrier has been brought back into register with the coin-insertion slot whereupon it is released and continues the reverse movement, without the coin holder, to uncover the slot. The coin holder carrier e has a lever f pivoted to it with two forwardly directed arms hand g, the latter normally being engaged in a recess i in the front plate b in order to retain the carrier in its initial position with the pocket m in register with the insertion slot in the front plate b. Upon rotation (clockwise) of the cut-off plate c by the operating handle from the initial position of Figs. 2 and 4, its arm o progressively masks the insertion slot, whereupon the bevelled edge k of its arm j engages and lifts the arm g of the lever f whose opposite arm then engages behind the arm j (Figs. 3 and 5). With the carrier e thus clutched to the arm j of the plate c, and the carrier released from the front plate, the carrier can be turned by the handle to register the coin. The insertion slot remains covered by the plate c until the carrier has been returned to its initial position, whereupon lever f releases the arm j as its arm g comes back over the recess i and the plate c continues its movement to uncover the insertion slot with the carrier e and coin pocket already in initial position. Specification 416,570 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to routine testing equipment for use in automatic telephone exchanges
Inventor: GREENAWAY JOHN FRANK
IPC: H04M3/32
Filed: 1956-11-16
Abstract: 831,189. Automatic exchange systems. AUTOMATIC TELEPHONE & ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Nov. 7, 1957 [Nov. 16, 1956], No. 35038/56. Class 40 4). Automatic routining is effected on a magnetic drum and its associated apparatus without taking it out of service. The register-controller is of the type described in Specification 831,188, using six register tracks, a transfer track, an address track, ten library tracks and a synchronizing track. One register from each register track is rendered inaccessible to subscribers and is used as a test register. Five electronic relays MAR-MER (not shown) assume a first combination at the operation of a routiner start key to enter code digits " 999 " into the first test register. This code is trans lated in the normal manner but instead of the translation being sent to an outgoing relay set it is entered in the second test register. Here it is treated as a dialled code and translation takes place again. The process repeats until the fifth translation is entered in the sixth test register and is then tested for accuracy by setting up a combination of the five electronic relays MAR-MER. If the combination is correct a second cycle is started by the insertion into the first register of the code digits " 222." The process repeats and if the apparatus functions correctly a third cycle begins with the entry of " 777 " into the first test register. If the operation is correct again, the first cycle starts again. When the fourth test register is taken into use its timing circuit is used to generate a forced release impulse after 7¢ seconds. This impulse is used to generate an artificial " called subscriber answers pulse which thereby generates the appropriate metering signals. Alarm circuits. In respect of each signal to be tested there is an alarm circuit such as shown with appropriate multiplying. Transmission from each of the first five test registers produces a pulse on the corresponding lead LPOI (not shown). Completion of transmission from a register pulses lead LPOC (not shown), the metering pulse lead PMM, and forced release lead LPOF. These signal leads are each connected to an input such as 1 and lead 2 is connected to a lead defining the register which should produce the signal. Tube VK1 is normally non-conducting and strikes at the coincidence of signals on leads 1 and 2. When a test cycle has been completed each VK1 should have been fired. When therefore VK2 delivers a pulse which has to be shared by all the tubes VK3, they are unable to strike. If, however, one or more test signals have not been received the corresponding tubes VK1 are non- conducting and the corresponding tubes VK3 fire to the pulse from VK2. The associated alarm relays AL then energize to indicate the nature of the fault. If the required answer does not appear in the last test register all the alarm relays AL operate.
