Abstract: 1,175,556. Disc brakes. ALFRED TEVES G.m.b.H. 26 Jan., 1967 [18 June, 1966], No. 3894/67. Heading F2E. In a motor vehicle hydraulic disc brake, having a manually operated mechanical brake including friction pads 5, 6, Fig. 2, disposed on either side of the disc 2 and independent of the hydraulic brake friction pads 3, 4, the opposite mechanical brake members 7, 8 are so guided on stationary calipers that when the mechanical brake is operated one of the friction pads is applied with self-energization to the disc while at the same time the other friction pad acts as an abutment for the brake disc. Each brake member has a pivot pin 22, 23 in slots 24, 25 of an operating member which is mounted for pivotal movement in a slot (31), Fig. I (not shown), of an angle member (26) secured to the stationary calipers. Movement of the operating member in direction C causes application of the brake linings 5, 6 because of the inclination of surfaces 11, 12 to the disc 2. The inclination also causes increase of the braking force should the brake disc tend to rotate in either direction. The control surfaces may have different angles of inclination and guide rollers may be arranged between the brake members and control surfaces to reduce friction.

Inventor: WOOD FRANK
IPC: A23L9/10
Filed: 1956-02-14
Abstract: A composition which dissolves in cold milk to form a pudding or custard comprises a mixture of pregelatinized root starch and pregelatized cereal-type starch, the starches being of particle size to pass a B.S.I. 100 mesh, but not a B.S.I. 250 mesh, screen and the proportion of cereal-type starch being 20-75% and sufficient to ensure full dispersion without the presence of sugar.  A root-type starch, exemplified by potato, sago, tapioca, waxy maize and waxy sorghum starches, yields a clear aqueous solution of stringy consistency; a cereal-type starch, exemplified by maize, rice, sorghum and wheat starches, yields a pasty, opaque solution, shorter in character.  The composition may contain up to 10% of tetra-alkali metal pyrophosphate as a milk protein coagulant.  If dried milk is included in the composition, the pudding or custard is prepared with water instead of milk. Examples are of formulations, containing no sugar, of pregelatinized potato starch, pregelatinized sorghum starch, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, flavouring, and colouring.

Title: Capacitive store
IPC: G11C27/04
Filed: 1970-01-30
Abstract: 1275549 Active delay circuits PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 30 Jan 1970 [4 Feb 1969] 4631/70 Heading H3U A bucket chain type capacitive store comprises a number of capacitors connected in series by the main current path of transistors, alternate transistors being of opposite conductivity type and alternate main current path electrodes of the transistor chain being alternately connected by switching devices to opposite poles of a source S of switching voltage. As shown, a negative pulse from S causes capacitor Co to charge to the voltage of the pulse. A positive pulse cuts off diode B 0  and allows the capacitor to discharge through D1 by an amount equal to the speech or video signal voltage Vi. The subsequent negative pulse from S recharges capacitor C 0  negatively through T 1 , C1 + D2 so that Cl is discharged by a corresponding amount. In this manner the charge is transferred along the series of transistors. The transistors may alternatively be of the field-effect type and the alternate diodes may be base-emitter diodes of a multi-emitter transistor. Two circuits may be connected in parallel and the circuit may be used as a filter.

Referring to the drawings, when compressed air is supplied to tube 25, Fig. 2, piston 22 is raised against spring 23 to open needle 19 and hence allow coating composition from pipe 20 to flow along passages 16 and 11 to annular discharge edge 12 which is charged to a high electrical potential and so atomizes the liquid material and which is surrounded by wall 30. Adjustment of control member 26 alters position of ball 16 and so regulates the amount of coating composition supplied to the edge. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which the edge is surrounded by two wall portions 132A and 132B which are moved upwards as control member 126A is tightened, hence closing gap between 132A and wall 110 but leaving that between wall and 132B so that a semi-circle of coating composition is supplied to the edge. Fig. 5 shows a modification in which the edge 235 of the control member 226B serves the discharge edge while in Fig. 6 the coating liquid is run into chamber 316 with side walls 324 and 325 forming opening 328 to discharge edge 326 or (Fig. 7) grooves 329 may be cut in the wall portion 324.  Fig. 9 shows the apparatus for spraying metal canisters moving along a conveyer and Fig. 14 for spraying flat extended plates 811 moving along overhead conveyer 812, the atomizing head being rotated if desired by air motor 826.  In Fig. 11, canisters 713 are internally coated as they move along conveyer 710, the spraying apparatus being moved along with the canister (which may be rotated by means not shown) until cam 715 and lug 734 co-operate to release rod 730 from article support 711, at the same time spraying apparatus 738 is lifted from canister as wheel 744 runs up cam 748 and is lowered into the canister by action of springs 735. Specifications 605,338, 710,919 and 710,920 are referred to.

Filed: 1950-02-23
Abstract: 682,530. X-ray apparatus. METROPOLITAN-VICKERS ELECTRICAL CO., Ltd. Dec. 1, 1950 [Feb. 23, 1950], No. 4721/50. Class 98 (i). [Also in Group XL (a)] Apparatus for introducing specimens into the vacuum chamber of an electron microscope or diffraction camera comprises a rod and tube slidably arranged in an opening in the wall of the chamber, the rod being formed at its inner end with holes, and an extension of the same diameter of the tube allowing the holes to be closed by the tube whilst the assembly is withdrawn to a position in which the extension seals the chamber and the tube slid outwardly to expose the holes for positioning of the specimens. The rod 5 with three specimen holes 7 and an enlarged end 9 slides within a tube 6 which is also an accurate sliding fit in a sleeve 10 formed integrally with a beam member 14. A gland seal 11 and nut 12 engage the end of the sleeve 10 and a locking screw 18 clamps the tube 6 in any.position. A bellows 16 and gland 17 seal the wall of the tube and the tube 10. The rod 5 is vacuum sealed by a gland seal 20 and the head 25 of the rod carries a notched rod 26 which extends into the body of the seal retaining nut 23, a spring-pressed catch 27 engaging the notches 28, 29. The notches 28 determine the selective positioning of the specimen holes 7 and the notch 29 determines the point at which the end 9 is flush with the tube 6 when the latter is withdrawn for specimen changing. A split ring 31 in a recess 30 abuts the inner end 32 of the sleeve 10 when the tube 6 is withdrawn and prevents further movement of the rod 5 in that direction, and by withdrawing the catch 27, the tube 6 can be moved further to expose the holes 7. A scanning movement of the specimen with the chamber is provided by means of the beam 14 which is supported on pins 35 on the ends of screw-threaded rods 33. The pins 35 engage in notches 36 which prevent rotation. The threads 37 of the rods 33 carry nuts 38 with gear-teeth 39 which are driven by worm 40 and raise or lower the beam 14 against the action of tension springs 41, and provide the necessary tilt for a scanning movement of the specimens or a fine adjustment of the position of the holes 7. The locking screw 18 may be released to allow rotation of the tube 6 and rod 5 for stereoscopic photography. The angle of rotation is measured by a pointer and scale (not shown).
