Patent CA-2131952-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KASS JOHN J
IPC: B60D1/34
Filed: 1994-09-13
Abstract: A weight distributing hitch for towing a trailer behind a vehicle includes a hitch bar for mounting to the vehicle and a ball mount head for mounting on the hitch bar at a selected tilt angle.  A pair of spring bars are mounted to the ball mount head.  These spring bars distribute the weight of the trailer relative to the vehicle.          Each spring bar is substantially L-shaped and includes a turned groove at a proximal end received in a cooperating aperture in the ball mount head.  A retainer of spring steel engages in the grooves to hold the spring bars in position.  The relative tilt angle of the ball mount head is adjusted by means of an eccentric angle adjusting element in the form of a washer.  This washer is fixed to one of the ball mount head or hitch bar and includes a cam surface for engaging the other of the two elements.  A method of adjusting the tilt angle is also provided.

Patent CA-2147008-A1 (CA)
Title: Gas/liquid mixing apparatus
Inventor: CASEY ALAN PATRICK
IPC: B05B1/08
Filed: 1993-10-07
Abstract: A mixing apparatus (1, 100) for atomising a fluid in a gas flow. The apparatus (1, 100) has a nozzle (2, 102) which fluidly communicates with a source of liquid, and a gas passage (3, 103) which surrounds the nozzle (2, 102). The nozzle (2, 102) is formed such that it, in use, directs the liquid into the surrounding passage as a substantially continuous, generally radially emanating sheet. As such, the gas flowing through the passage (3, 103) impacts with the liquid sheet to produce a substantially uniform cloud of atomised liquid droplets downstream of the nozzle (2, 102).  The apparatus (1, 100) may further have a reduced cross-sectional area (25, 113) of the passage (3, 103) in the vicinity of the nozzle to increase the gas velocity and enhance the atomisation of the fluid. Further the nozzle (2, 102) may have a valve arrangement to selectably open and close the nozzle (2, 102), and the passage (3, 103) may likewise have a valve arrangement. Furthermore, a swirl mixing (114) of the atomised liquid and gas may be provided downstream of the impact atomisation of the fluid sheet in the passage (3, 103). The apparatus is particularly useful in internal combustion engines, although it is also applicable in any other context requiring a liquid to be atomised in a gas stream.

Patent CA-2176684-A1 (CA)
Title: Capacitor foil with enhanced surface area
Inventor: ELIAS WILLIAM H
IPC: H01G9/055
Filed: 1996-05-15
Abstract: An improved electrolytic capacitor is provided by producing an anode foil which has areas which are not subject to stress during manufacturing being highly etched and those areas which are subject to stress during manufacturing being lightly etched or not etched at all. The process of the invention provides an etch mask to cover during the etch process those portions of the anode foil which will be subjected to stress during construction of the capacitor. The highly etched areas, which are very brittle, provide increased capacitance and thus improved energy density. For layered or stacked capacitors, a weld tab is covered with the etch mask to allow connection of the anode layers. Additionally, strong edges may be maintained thereby reducing the possibility of cracking that would normally occur during the stamping and assembly operations. For flat or oval capacitors made by rolling or winding the capacitor element on a large arbor, and then flattening the element by compressing it in a press, high stress occurs at the sharp bends resulting in cracking or breaking if the foil is not flexible. The method of the invention allows high gain foil to be used in the flat areas, while masking strengthens the locations where the sharp bends occur, thereby improving the capacitance.
