Title: Improved means for adjusting angularly-movable ventilation and other panels, particularly for use on vehicles
IPC: B60H1/26
Filed: 1950-09-30
Abstract: 688,417. Stays for hinged articles. AUSTER, Ltd., SMALL, W. W., and McILGREW, R. H. Nov. 12, 1951 [Sept. 30, 1950], No. 23977/50. Class 65 (i) [Also in Group XXIV] Means for angularly adjusting a hinged panel comprises a screwthreaded rod 7, and a rotatable knob 8 surrounding the rod, the knob carrying an arm 15 pivoted thereto at 16 and having a threaded portion adapted to engage the thread of the rod, so that the knob acts as a nut and when turned permits a fine angular adjustment of the panel, means being provided for disengaging the arm to allow of a quick adjustment of the panel. The rod is pivoted to a bracket 5 mounted on a fixed frame, and is disposed within a tube 12. The knob is made in two parts 8a, 8b rotatably mounted on the tube. A ball 9, carried on one end of the latter, is held in a spherical socket in a bracket 10 mounted on a ventilator panel. A sleeve nut 24 screwed into the other end of the tube serves to hold the parts together. The arm is drawn by a coiled spring 18, through a notch formed in the tube, into engagement with the rod, and, being pivoted to the part 8a, rotation of the latter in one or the other direction moves the ventilator towards the open or the closed position. The part 8b has a pair of abutments positioned diametically opposite each other. One of the abutments is adapted, on rotation of the part 8b in one direction, to move the arm out of engagement with the rod, which is then free to slide in the tube. The other abutment, by engaging the arm adjacent its pivot, serves to prevent rotation of the part 8b in the opposite direction.

Title: Electric heating apparatus for fluids
IPC: F24H1/14

Abstract: 839,004. Electric fluid heaters. HYNES, L. P. Aug. 3, 1956 [Aug. 12, 1955], No. 24055/56. Class 39(3) Electric heating apparatus for fluids comprises at least one heater tube containing an electric heater element, a flow tube surrounding the or each individual heater tube and spaced therefrom, partition walls extending out from the heater tube at circumferentially spaced positions and engaging the flow tube and dividing the space between the heater tube and the flow tube into a plurality of longitudinal heating passages, means closing one end of the flow tube and a cross connection between adjacent passages at said end of the flow tube. As shown, Figs. 3 and 4, a heater tube 30 having a closed end 31 and containing heating elements (not illustrated) extending through openings in insulators (Fig. 1a, not shown) and having radially opposite longitudinal partitions 35 is enclosed in a rectangular flow tube 36 so that the outer ends of the partitions 35 are located in the corners 38, a space 41 being left at the rear of the tube 36 to provide a cross connection between two heating passages 42 and 43 on opposite sides of the partitions 35. The flow tube is notched on two adjoining sides (Fig. 5, not shown), allowing the direction of flow to be established when flow tubes are stacked as a unit as in Fig. 6, where the inlet flow of the fluid to be heated takes place at 46 through the notch 46<SP>1</SP> in a flow tube 47 and proceeds longitudinally through a heating passage 48, crossing at the rear to a return passage 50 in the same tube, and then through cooperating notches to passage 52 in flow tube 51, returning through passage 53 and thence through the passages in the remaining tubes 54, 57, 61 and 64 to the outlet notch 67. The stacked unit is assembled against a front header 68, Fig. 10, and a rear header 71, :bleed holes 71<SP>1</SP> being provided in both headers, and is enclosed in a jacket 73 through which the heater tubes 30 pass to a junction box 77. The topmost flow tubes at the two sides connect with channel elements 72 (Fig. 7 not shown) which prevent direct flow between inlet and outlet, the fluid to be heated passing into the inlet connection 81, through the space 74, into the flow tubes in series as described above, and through the space 75 to the outlet port 83. In a modification, Fig. 12, the heater tube 30 is provided with fins 115, the flow tube 110 is circular, and the partitions 116 are resilient and curved in shape. In a further modification, Fig. 16, the fins are omitted, and resilient partitions 130 form a seal with the flow tube.

Patent GB-839770-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in gyroscopes
Inventor: LLOYD-THOMAS ERIC
IPC: G01C19/08
Filed: 1956-08-08
Abstract: 839,770. Gyroscopic apparatus. SHORT BROS. & HARLAND Ltd. Aug. 7, 1957 [Aug. 8, 1956; Jan. 22, 1957], Nos. 24319/56 and 2292/57. Class 97(3) The rotor of a rate gyroscope mounted in a gimbal includes the armature of a D.C. motor capable of being run rapidly up to full speed by the application of a voltage in excess of that required for sustaining rotation at full speed and an electrically operated torque motor for restraining movement of the gimbal relative to its support, the torque motor being responsive to a voltage derived from the armature, or from means associated with it, and proportional to the armature speed. As shown in Fig. 1, a D.C. permanent magnet motor, constituting the gyroscope rotor, has an armature 11 mounted in bearings in a frame 10. The frame has trunnions 12 transverse to the armature spin axis and mounted in bearings 13 in an outer frame 14. A coil 16, wound on a frame 15 fixed to the trunnions 12, is in part located in air-gaps between a soft iron cylinder 17 fixed to frame 14, and permanent magnet pole pieces, one of which is shown at 18. A circular potentiometer 22 on frame 14 has a slider 23 fixed to frame 15. When the frame 14 is turned about an axis perpendicular to the rotor spin axis and to the trunnion axis, the rotor precesses about the trunnion axis against the force acting on the coil 16 which is energized by the back e.m.f. of the D.C. motor, thus making the opposing force proportional to the rotor speed. This is effected, as shown, in Fig. 2, by connecting the motor windings in a bridge circuit, the values of resistors 27, 28 being in the same proportion as the values of the resistance 25 of the motor windings and a resistor 26. The output voltage from the bridge is applied to the coil 16 through equal resistances 31, 32 and potentiometer 22, the slider 23 of which is mechanically coupled to the slider 35 of a pick-off potentiometer 36 forming, with equal resistances 37, 38, a bridge circuit which is supplied by a stabilized D.C. voltage and which provides at 39 an output proportional to the rate of turn of frame 14 and independent of the rotor speed. The rotor speed may be limited by a temperature-sensitive resistor included in the motor circuit. In a modified turn-sensitive gyroscope, the precession of the rotor is opposed by a coil wound on a soft iron core between permanent magnets. A potentiometer with a slider movable with the rotor casing provides an output proportional to the rate of turn. The gyroscope rotor may also carry a permanent magnet 55, Fig. 4, which induces in fixed coils 56, 57, an alternating voltage proportional to the rotor speed. This voltage is rectified and used to energize a coil or torque motor to oppose the precession of the rotor.
