Filed: 1945-05-23
Abstract: 595,382. Vehicle seats. WILLYS-OVERLAND MOTORS, Inc. May 23, 1945, No. 12907. Convention date, June 17, 1944. [Class 52(ii)] A seat structure for a vehicle body includes a support, a seat movable relatively to the support, and a back section, movable relative to the seat and controlling means for securing the seat relatively to its support. The drawings show a front seat with divided back portions each capable of being tilted forwardly to increase space for ingress or egress of passengers to or from rear seats the seat being capable of being swung in a horizontal plane about one of its corners to allow further space for movement of passengers when required. Further, the support includes mountings whereby the whole seat is longitudinally' adjustable with regard to the vehicle controls. Fig. 3 shows in plan the seat frame proper 58 and the tilting back seat frames 65, 66; and Fig. 6 shows the frame 66 whose initial tilting releases the means normally locking the seat frame 58 against swinging movement to the dotted line position shown in Fig. 3. The channel members 21 for enabling the longitudinal adjusting movement of the whole seat are shown in section, Fig. 5, as slidably connected by members 25 to channel members 20 fixed to the floor; pivoted locking-levers 37 with pawls engaging in recesses in flanges of the fixed channel members 20 are connected by a rod 39 and jointly operated for release by a handle 52 screwed to one of the levers. The curved guide member 82 for use when swinging the seat horizontally about a bolt 90 at a corner of the seat is slidably engaged by a member 80 attached to the plate 78 on the under side of the seat. When the back seat frame 66 is not tilted the seat is locked against swinging horizontally by a catch 95 engaging the end of the guide 82; initial tilting of the back seat frame 66 allows a spring- actuated lever 100 to lift up catch 95 and free the seat for swinging. Both frames 65, 66 are forwardly tiltable and each tilts about a horizontal oblique line to increase clearance space by moving inwardly towards the centre line of the vehicle as it is tilted.

Abstract: 1537336 Cheese curd cutter and stirrer ALFA-LAVAL AB 5 April 1976 [18 April 1975] 13744/76 Heading A2B [Also in Division B1] A cheese curd cutter and stirrer consisting of a cylindrical curdling container 1 having a horizontal axis and conical end is provided with a cutting and stirring tool which is formed with cutting grids 4 equiangularly spaced around a quadrant of a rotatable shaft 3 and along the shaft, the shaft being rotatable by a motor 11 and interrupted to keep the tool still at predetermined positions. The inner grids 4 have pivotable flaps 23 at their outer ends which during rotation of the shaft in a cutting direction pivot outwards, but in the opposite stirring direction of rotation close part of the grid. The grid is formed of knifeedged longitudinal and transverse members 21, 22. The container has inlet and outlet ports 13, 18 and a pivotable whey sieve 15. The shaft mounts a cam plate formed with peaks which co-operate with a follower connected to a control for the motor 11. The control has a switch 41 which is closed when the motor is to be started and this actuates, relay 34 to close switches 37, 38. Relay 45 is thus actuated to supply current to the motor. When a cam peak operates, the follower, switch 43 is closed which actuates relay 35 to open switch 39 and hence cut_the current to relay 45 and deenergise the motor. At the same time a delay relay 36 is actuated and after a predetermined time opens switch 40 to de-energise relay 35 and allow switch 39 to reclose whereby the motor is re-energised. The tool is rotated a certain number of turns in the cutting direction before the motor is reversed and the tool rotates without interruption in the stirring direction. The grids 4 are skew with respect to the axis of shaft 3 so that during an interruption in cutting the whey moves axially and the annular bands formed by one cutting movement are cut up during the next movement.

Title: Pulse time demodulation system
IPC: H04J3/04
Filed: 1948-05-21
Abstract: 653,022. Pulse modulation ; pulse discriminating circuits. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. May 21, 1948, No. 13788. Convention date, May 21, 1947. [Classes 40 (v) and 40 (vi)] The demodulator in a pulse time-modulation system comprises a grid controlled vacuum tube which is normally maintained non-conducting by means of a source of static grid bias, and is rendered responsive during predetermined time intervals by means of a rising saw-tooth waveform which is derived from marker pulses in the received signals, the tube being made non- responsive by the action of a grid-controlled gas discharge tube which is also controlled by the static bias and the saw-tooth waveform. The arrangement may be used in a multiphase system and enables the operating period of each demodulation to be adjusted to a clearly defined portion of the cycle. Selection of the required signal channel may be effected by remote control. In Fig. 1, incoming pulse-time or pulse-position modulated pulses are applied from input terminals 10 and 11, to the control grid 16 of demodulator tube 14, and to marker pulse selector 26, the output from which is used to synchronize saw-tooth wave generator 27. A source of steady bias 23 is applied through an adjustable resistance network 15 control grid 17 to bias tube 14 to cut-off until the saw-tooth waveform which is also applied to grid 17 renders the tube 14 conducting at some predetermined point in the cycle, according to the adjustment of the tap on resistance 29. After a period, which may be made to correspond to that of a particular signal channel in a multiplex system, the valve 14 is rendered non-conducting by the action of gas-discharge tube 20. During the conducting period, the appropriate incoming signal pulse is applied to control grid 16, and in conjunction with the rising sawtooth voltage applied to grid 17, the time modulated pulses are transformed by tube 14 into amplitude-modulated pulses in known manner, which are then applied through a low-pass filter 39, 40 to supply the audio output. The saw-tooth wave-form from generator 27 is also applied to the anode of gasdischarge tube 20, and the bias of the control grid 21 is obtained from source 23 as adjusted by means of resistance 36. The bias is made such that when the anode voltage reaches the level corresponding to the predetermined point in the cycle, the tube 20 fires applying a negative impulse to grid 17 to effect the cut-off of tube 14. An arrangement comprising two or more signal channels, each having a demodulator tube 14 and a gas-discharge tube 20 is described (Fig. 3, not shown), the saw-tooth generator 27 and resistance network 36, 29 being common to all channels. The bias of ,he control grid 17 for each channel is adjusted by means of a separate tapping on resistance 29, but if the required demodulating periods are equal in length, resistance 36 may be adjusted in common for all channels. Specifications 509,820, 511,222 and 521,139 are referred to.
