Title: Improvements in or relating to filtering mass carriers for filtration plants
IPC: B01D37/02
Filed: 1952-07-02
Abstract: 707,275. Filters. ZENT AKT.-GES., BERN. July 2, 1952 [Aug. 22, 1951], No. 16615/52. Class 46 A carrier for a mass of filtering material and having a carrying surface consisting of wires which are arranged side by side and are upright when in working position in which at least one of each two adjacent wires is slightly corrugated in such a way that the two adjacent wires form together a row of narrow slots, is characterized in that the angle of inclination of any wire portion of the carrying surface is such that in the absence of the working pressure in the filtration plant the filtering mass deposing on the surface falls off the wire portions as a result of its own weight. Wires 7, Fig. 1, forming walls 1, Fig. 2, of a carrier of cage form are welded at 2 and interconnected by webs 6. The wires are corrugated in the plane of the surface to folm slots 9, the length-width ratio of which is chosen so that the working pressure cannot force the filtering mass through the slots: this ratio is at least 4 to 1 and preferably more than 10 to 1. The slots 9 are preferably pointed at their ends 8 and the angles there more than 10 to 1 are as small as possible and preferably not larger than 5 degrees. The angle of inclination to the vertical of the wire portions between the points 8 is preferably not more than 3 degrees and is a small as possible. Alternate wires may be uncorrugated, Fig. 3 (not shown). The corrugations may take the form of alternate thickening and thinning along the length of the wire, Fig. 4 (not shown). The wire may be corrugated in a plane other than the plane of the surface 1 ; e.g. it may have an elongated spiral form as a result of passing it through a wire straightening machine having rotatable dressing-jaws.

Patent GB-289666-A (GB)
Title: Improved locking means for door latches
IPC: E05B65/22
Filed: 1927-06-23
Abstract: 289,666. Ottinger, L. June 23, 1927. Latches, preventing operation of.-The handle 14 of a door latch particularly for motor vehicle doors is rendered inoperative by key-operation of a cylinder lock 18 housed in the handle shank, and the arrangement is such as to prevent unauthorized operation by, say, removal of the escutcheon and withdrawal of the handle. The locking means is external to the latch casing, within the thickness of the door, so as to be accessible, and the escutcheon is fixed so that it cannot be readily removed or the handle withdrawn. As shown in Figs. 2, 3, an eccentric pin 22 on an extension 19 of the lock barrel 18 serves to shoot or withdraw a transverse bolt 25 housed in a hole in the handle shank disposed within the thickness of the door 5. When shot, the bolt engages a hole in a sleeve 28 fixed to the casing 7 and housed in the hole in the door through which the handle shank passes, so holding the handle against rotation. The bolt 25 is held shot or withdrawn by a projection on a spring 27 engaging one or other of two recesses 26 in the bolt. The latch, not shown, is withdrawn by a follower 8 secured to a square extension 16 of the handle shank by a pin 17. An escutcheon 11 closely surrounding the handle shank is permanently fixed in place on the outer face of the door to prevent access to the bolt 25 and contains a packing ring serving as a bearing for the handle shank. In a modification. Fig. 5, the follower is secured to a short spindle 33 provided with a projection 35 and rotatable within the end of the handle shank 32. The extension 19' of the lock cylinder has a slidable, non-rotatable member 36 mounted thereon, provided with a terminal recess 41 normally urged out of engagement with projection 35 on the follower spindle by a spring 42. The handle is thus rotatable idly without operation of the latch-withdrawing follower. When the lock cylinder is rotated by its key, a pin 40 fixed in the handle shank 32 and engaging a spiral slot 39 in member 36 causes member 36 to be moved endwise so that recess 41 engages projection 35, whereby rotation of the handle is transmitted to the follower so that the latch may be withdrawn.

July 19, 1951 [July 21, 1950; Aug. 23, 1950], No. 17182/51. Class 103(1) In a compressed air-hydraulically operated brake system, particularly for power vehicles, of the type in which a fluid pressure responsive member, which may be a piston or diaphragm, acts through a hollow stem or piston rod upon a hydraulic master cylinder, the control valve comprising control spring, control piston and double acting valve, which governs the movement of the fluid pressure responsive member, is carried by the piston rod or stem of the working piston or diaphragm. As shown in Fig. 1, the valve member 9 has two valve elements 8 and 10. As shown in the brakes released condition, the valve element 10 is held away from opening 11 in diaphragm 2 thus allowing compressed air from pump 20 through pressure regulator 21 to equalize in the chambers on each side. When the pedal is depressed valve element 10 closes opening 11 and valve element 8 moves away from the hollow piston rod 7 thus allowing pressure to escape from chamber 24 through port 25, the unbalanced force on diaphragm 2 now acting to operate the hydraulic master cylinder 17. The fall of pressure in chamber 24 is transmitted through a pipe 22 to actuate the brakes of a trailer vehicle. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the control valve 48, 46 is incorporated in the servo-piston 41 and is operated by control rod 40 through a pivoted lever' 42.

[Class 100 (ii)] A register device for use in preparing matrices to be used in casting stereotype printing-plates, more particularly for multi-colour printing, comprises a base forming a support for the matrix and having a frame hinged thereto which carries adjustable members, adapted to be fixed relatively to the frame to provide register points, and a plurality of members for marking the adjacent margins of a matrix, all the marking members being operated simultaneously by means of a single operating member. The frame 13 is hinged at one edge 16 to a base on which a matrix 31 is adapted to be supported. The frame carries centring means, comprising a pair of wires 29, 30, the former of which is attached at each end to a plate 32 adjustable in the frame ends and locked in position by set-screws 37, while the latter is carried by plates 38 attached to plates 40 by screws 411 which permit transverse adjustment g of the plates 38, longitudinal adjustment bein effected by movement of the plates 40, adjustably clamped to the frame by the screws 41. The frame also supports registering members comprising needles 52 supported in arms 47 hinged to arms 46 which are hinged to the frame, and slots 48, 49 in the arms, through which the clamping screw 51 passes, enable the length of the arms to be varied. At the sides 14 and 16 of the frame and moving in guides 23 thereon are punches 10<1>, 10 attached to racks, operated simultaneously by gears 20 mounted on a common shaft 18 journalled in brackets on the frame side 16. A hand-operated catch 54 is provided to lock the frame 13 to the base. In use, the key matrices are first centrelined and a matrix is then mounted on the base of the device so that the centre wires 29, 30 coincide with the centre lines on the matrix. The registration needles 52 are set to the desired points on the matrix and a lever 21 controlling the movement of the shaft 18 is operated to depress the punches 10, 10<1> which form cuts in the matrix as a guide where it is to be trimmed. The other matrices to be used in preparing the multicolour printing plates are set in turn in the device and similarly marked, after which all the matrices are trimmed and can be used for casting plates, which may be placed on the printing cylinder against fixed stops with a view to printing several colours in correct register. The device can be used whenever registration of different matrices is necessary.
