Title: Apparatus for automatically stopping a diecasting machine in the event of shot failure
IPC: B22D17/32
Filed: 1952-04-22
Abstract: 699,894. Casting-machines. PLASCO, Ltd. April 22, 1952 [July 19, 1951], No. 10166/52. Class 83 (i). [Also in Groups XXVI and XXVIII] A die-casting machine comprises a gooseneck 13 from which molten metal is discharged by an air-operated plunger 15, means including a slide-valve 41 for controlling the plunger, and means 29 adjustable on, and movable with, the plunger for rendering inoperative during normal motions of the plunger a means 35 for actuating a switch 38 controlling a motor 39 controlling the machine. The motor controls the machine by driving a cam-shaft 46 having a cam 44 which adjusts the setting of the valve 41 controlling the supply of compressed air from a pipe 49 to a cylinder 18 where it acts on a piston 20 to displace the plunger 15 against the influence of a spring 23. A rise 54 on the cam displaces the valve from the setting illustrated, in which a passage 48 conveyes the air to the cylinder through a pipe 50, to align a further passage 55 in the valve with by-pass pipes 53, 56 which convey the air to a valve 31. This valve which is connected by a pipe 33 to the airoperated spring-returned plunger 35 to actuate the micro-switch 38 for stopping the motor 39, is retained seated, when the plunger is operating normally and at the bottom of its stroke, by an adjusting-screw 29 carried by the plunger. If the plunger is prevented from making its full stroke, the screw 29 consequently being clear of the valve stem 30, as by some interference with the escape of the metal at the nozzle 17, the by-passed air will raise the valve 31 and the plunger 35 to operate the micro-switch 38 and stop the motor. A lateral extension is formed in the passage 48 to facilitate the exhaust of air from the cylinder 18 through the passage 48 and a passage 59 in the casing 40 of the valve 41 in the normal automatic cycle. Air is exhausted from the pipes 33, 56 through a passage 57 in the valve and a port 58 in the valve casing.

Title: Improved means for regulating the supply of fuel to internal combustion engines
IPC: F02D1/00
Filed: 1943-06-26
Abstract: 582,497. Fuel regulating, ARMSTRONG, G. J. June 26, 1943, No. 10366. [Class 7 (vi)] Fuel supplied to the intake manifold by a positive displacement pump driven at a speed proportional to engine speed is passed through a pressure-reducing constriction and the pressure difference across the restriction is applied to a pressure-responsive element actuating an adjustable pressure-reducing valve. A positive displacement pump 11 forces fuel through a sharpedged constriction 12 into a passage 13 leading to a chamber 14 separated by a diaphragm 37 from a chamber 36 which is connected by a passage 35 to the pump side of the constriction 12. The diaphragm 37 actuates a valve member 39 which is adjusted by a lever 40 pivoted to a link 47 the position of which is determined by a capsule 46 actuated by temperature changes in the intake manifold 27. A link 41 connects the further arm of the lever to a diaphragm 42 forming part of a chamber 16 into which fuel flows from the chamber 14 past the reducing valve 39 and the fuel passes from the chamber 16 through an orifice 17, controlled by a metering valve 21, into a passage 18 exposed to the opposite side of the diaphragm 42, the relative sizes of the diaphragms 37, 42 determining the fraction of the pressure difference across the constriction 12 that is. applied across the metering orifice 17. The needle 21. adjusting the area of the orifice 17 is controlled by a lever 22 actuated by capsules 25, 26 exposed to the intake manifold and the atmosphere or exhaust back-pressure as described in Specification 582,496. From the passage 18, the fuel enters the intake manifold past a valve 30 under super-atmospheric pres-' sure determined by a spring 33 and diaphragm 31 exposed on one side to the atmosphere. A valve 48 urged to open by a tension spring 50 acting against a diaphragm 49 exposed to the pressure difference across the constriction 12 controls the fuel supply for slow running. In a modification, the temperature control is effected by a needle valve in the constriction 12. In another form, the lever arrangement 40 is omitted and the pressure reducing valve 39 is carried directly by two diaphragms corresponding to the diaphragms 37, 42. The pressure difference across the pump 11 may be kept constant by feeding the pump from another larger pump and this larger pump may supply fuel directly to the passage 13 through a separate pressure-reducing constriction.

IPC: F16K31/524
Filed: 1966-03-09
Abstract: 1,133,864. Fluid pressure control valves. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORP. 1 June, 1967 [9 March, 1966], No. 10373/66. Heading F2V. [Also in Division A5] A valve, suitable for controlling an air pressure operated artificial limb, comprises a chamber 2 and a service outlet 11, pressure within the chamber being regulated by a lever 12 acting on a tubular member 8 having a passage 9 therethrough. When in the position shown, chamber 2 communicates with passage 9 and is so vented to atmosphere. Upon movement of the lever to the left, as seen in the drawing, member 8 is brought into abutment with a diaphragm 5 which is thereby raised from its annular seat 3, towards which it is biased by a tubular rubber member 5, bringing the chamber into communication with a fluid pressure inlet 6. This pressure acts on a further diaphragm 7, connected to member 8, tending to balance the opening force, as applied by the lever, and upon substantially equalling this force, which couldalso be as a consequence of a reduction in force supplied to the lever, moves member 8 sufficiently far for the diaphragm to be seated. If the reduction in force applied to the lever is sufficiently big, then upon the diaphragm becoming seated, member 8 moves away from it thereby venting chamber 2 to atmosphere. The lever operating mechanism may be substituted by an electrical solenoid arrangement.

Abstract: 1,042,341. Saturable reactors. HONEYWELL Inc. March 15, 1963 [March 22, 1962], No. 10413/63. Heading H3B. [Also in Divisions G4-G6] A binary counter comprises a sequence of bi-stable circuits and associated saturable magnetic cores, each bi-stable circuit being controlled by its associated core and controlling all the cores associated with higher bi-stable circuits. Assuming that all stages Al, A2, A4, A8 have been set to 0 condition over leads S and that a D.C. inhibiting bias has been removed from lead X the first drive pulse DR1 at 14 produces a flux change in core SC1 so that a sense winding applies a pulse to lead C so reversing stage A1. This stage removes its control from SC2 whereupon the next drive pulse affects both SC1 and SC2 so that A1 restores and A2 reverses. The process repeats in binary code. Decimal-coded binary and carry details are described with reference to Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown).

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of artificial stone and the like
IPC: C04B28/14
Filed: 1938-04-05
Abstract: Fibrous plaster boards and other articles are made by shaping a mixture containing raw gypsum, asbestos or other fibre, and water, heating, e.g. to 150 DEG  C., to convert the gypsum to plaster, and setting the product by the addition of water.  A small amount of cement, plaster of Paris or the like may be added to the original mixture to render the shaped product self-supporting during the heating and setting operations.  In a modification, the setting water is added before the final shaping.  In an example, sheets are formed on a machine of the millboard type from a slurry of gypsum and asbestos, the sheets are heated, setting water is added and articles are then moulded from the sheet material.  The raw gypsum may be replaced by overburnt gypsum which is converted to the hydrated salt CaSO4.2H2O when mixed into a slurry with water.  Sheets formed according to the invention may be combined with ordinary fibre-cement sheets to form compound sheets.

Title: Improvements in manufacture of alkali cellulose by cellulose slurry-steeping
IPC: C08B1/08
Filed: 1955-04-12
Abstract: Chemical cellulose pulp containing up to 0.35 per cent by weight of natural matter extractable with ethyl ether is slurry-steeped in an aqueous solution of caustic alkali in the presence of a small proportion of a surface-active agent having the formula <FORM:0785890/IV (a)/1> , in which x is 3.3-106 and y is 19-31, particularly an agent of the above formula in which x has an average value of 15.5 and y has an average value of 28.  The agent may be added to the cellulose pulp, the caustic alkali solution or the slurry, and its proportion may be about 0.02-0.25 per cent, based on the dry pulp.  In an example, pulp sheet of 96 per cent alphacellulose content and containing 0.12 per cent ether-extractable matter is slurried at 2.2 per cent concentration in a steeping liquor containing 18.6 per cent of sodium hydroxide and 1.5 per cent of hemicellulose to which is added 0.1 per cent (based on the dry pulp) of a surface active agent having the above formula in which x is 15.5 and y is 28.  The pulp may be Jordanned or otherwise mechanically treated before being slurried to straighten the fibres and reduce the proportion of surface-active agent required. The presence of the agent during slurry-steeping reduces foaming of the steeping liquor and floating and clumping of the fibres. Specifications 573,775, 575,138, 590,064, [all in Group IV], 601,783, 623,566, 685,842, and 685,843 are referred to.
