Title: Remote control rear-view mirror mechanism for motor vehicles
Inventor: JACOBSON EDWIN B
IPC: B60R1/068
Filed: 1959-10-13
Abstract: 935,243. Rear view mirrors for vehicles. JERVIS CORPORATION. Oct. 13, 1959, No. 34722/59. Class 103(2). A remotely controlled rear view mirror mechanism for a vehicle comprises, a mirror 11 Fig. 3, pivotally supported on a post 31 in a housing 12 carried by a pedestal 13 securable to a fender of the vehicle; three cables 61, (see Fig. 7), 62, 63 each connected at one end to a mirror back plate 56 and each connection at the other end to a control member 17 carried by a bracket 81, Figs. 4 and 5, mountable in the drivers' compartment; and a spring 68 for holding all of the cables under tension in all positions of the mirror, so that the cables maintain the mirror in whatever position it is placed by the control member. Referring to Figs. 3 and 7 the cables 61, 62 and 63 in casings 65, 66, 67 pass through slots in the pedestal 13 and housing 12, over guides 52, 53, 54 formed in the post 31 and through slots 47, 48, 51 in the post. The cable ends pass through holes 59 in the back plate 56 and are secured by soldering thereto. The spring 68 is disposed around a pin 44 slidable in an opening 43 in the post 31 centrally of the slots 47, 48 and 51, the pin having a hemi-spherical head 46 which engages a correspondingly shaped recess 58 in the back plate 56. The post 31 has a flange 33, secured between parts of the pedestal and housing by means of screws 22. The control member 17 Figs. 3 to 5, comprises a pair of members 72, 73, spaced apart by three posts 74, the part 73 being secured by a nut 82 to the bracket 81. The part 72 has three radial slots 98 to receive the cables 61, 62, 63 and a central opening 91 to slidably receive a pin 92 having a hemi-spherical head 93 under the urge of a spring 97. The head 93 engages a correspondingly shaped recess 94 in a pivot part 84 operable by a control element 83. The pivot part 84 has a spherical surface engaging a corresponding recess 76 in the part 73. The ends of the cables are secured in elements 103, having enlarged ends 104, which elements are received in radial slots 99 in the pivot part 84. The spring 97 is stronger than the spring 68. Clearly by moving the control element 83 in any direction, the mirror will perform corresponding movements. The movements of the mirror will be amplified since the radial distances of the cable ends from the pin 44 are less than the distances of the elements 103 from the pin 92. If the mirror is accidentally moved, then the springs will cause it to return to its initial position, the cables being in tension and their casings, in compression. Another form the control member described with reference to Figs. 10 and 11 (not shown) comprises a pair of telescoping parts, one being secured to a part of the vehicle and having a spherical portion engaged by a corresponding portion of a control element. The two parts are urged apart by a spring surrounding the parts. Further forms of control elements are described with reference to Figs. 12 and 14 (not shown).

Abstract: 1364023 Roller conveyers RAPISTAN Inc 26 July 1972 [30 July 1971] 34974/72 Heading B8A A conveyer is as described with reference to  Figs. 1-8 and 10, 11 of Specification 1,364,022, but the claims are concerned with over-riding of the sensor-controlled valves to permit the drive to the conveyer to be activated. The over-ride comprises auxiliary valve means connected in parallel with the sensor-controlled valves 44. As shown, an auxiliary check valve 132 for each actuator tube 30 is controlled by a manually operated valve 131. To rapidly clear the conveyer, the valve 131 is opened and all zones of the conveyer are simultaneously driven. When the valves 44 operate normally and articles are conveyed without accumulating, a built-in time delay of the valves ensures that the drive by the belt (16), Figs. 1, 2 (not shown) is uninterrupted.

IPC: C09K11/77
Filed: 1953-12-18
Abstract: 748,928. Luminescent materials. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. Nov. 29, 1964 [Dec. 18, 1953], No. 35316/53. Addition to 737,914. Class 39 (I). The method of preparing a luminescent material as in the parent Specification, which comprises heating in a reducing atmosphere such as hydrogen a mixture of compounds of barium and/or strontium, lithium and silicon together with a compound of cerium and optionally a compound of manganese, comprises an additional heating step in an atmosphere of substantially oxygen-free carbon dioxide at a temperature not higher than 350 C., the material being allowed to cool to room temperature in the atmosphere of carbon dioxide. An example of the luminescent material employed is 1.2BaO.1.2SrO.0.6Li 2 O.1.9SiO 2  activated by 10 per cent of its weight of cerium and 1.2 per cent of its weight of manganese. The heating in carbon dioxide, which can be at substantially atmospheric pressure, can be at 250 C. for about 1 hour. An electric discharge device, for example a H.P.M.V. lamp, incorporating the luminescent material can be baked for 5'minutes at 300 C. to remove occluded gases whilst the material is maintained in contact with an atmosphere of dry, oxygen-free carbon dioxide at 25 mm. pressure. A filling of dry oxygen-free carbon dioxide can be introduced into the part of the device containing the luminescent material, for example a jacket surrounding the discharge envelope, immediately prior to sealing of the part so that the material is maintained in contact with the carbon dioxide during operation of the device.
Patent GB-353242-A (GB)
Abstract: 353,242. Calculating - machines. MATHYS, A. W., 52, Chancery Lane, London.-(Monroe Calculating Machine Co. ; 555, Mitchell Street, Orange, New Jersey, U.S.A.) July 17, 1930, No. 21658. [Class 106 (i).] A calculating-machine has bodily movable transmission gears between the differential actuators and the numeral wheels, a member automatically operated upon the shifting of the numeral-wheel carriage moving the transmission gears away from the numeral wheels. The invention is shown applied to a Monroe machine as described in Specifications 216,174 and 333,619, [both in Class 106 (i), Calculating &c.]. The depression of a plus or minus key rocks a shaft 125 and moves, through a connection 127 a lever 128 a notch in which engages a pin 61 on a lever 60 connected by a link 62 to the clutch lever on the main shaft. The lever 60 has a retaining catch 115. At the end of an operation, an arm 24 is rocked, a projecting portion thereof engaging a pin 145 on the lever 60 and restoring it and the clutch lever to normal position. The arm 24 also rocks a lever 65 carrying a pin 64 which breaks the connection 127. There are two totalizers 13, 33 each having an actuating shaft 46, 47, transmission gears 12 and a transfer shaft 48, 49 respectively. The totalizers may be operated in the same or in opposite directions by means similar to those shown in Specification 333,619. The gears 12 and the transfer shafts 48, 49 are mounted in frames 67 pivoted at 68 and connected by a link 70. A spring 73 tends to withdraw the gears 12 away from the totalizers 13, 33, but if the gears are out of engagement when the machine commences to operate a cam 71 on shaft 48 engages a fixed roller 72 and rocks the frames to the engaging position. The frames are retained in this position by the engagement of a catch 75 on one of them with a spring-controlled latch 74. The shafts 48, 49 are connected to their driving gears through " Oldham " couplings 69. To move the carriage, a shaft 37 bearing pins 38, Fig. 7, is turned by a handle 36. The pins engage and lift a toothed rack 39 pivoted to the carriage and connected to a rail 42 on which runs a roller 41 carried by one arm of a lever 32. A second arm on the lever 32 bears against a cam portion of the latch 74 and releases the frames 67 to move the pinions 12 out of the engaging position at the commencement of the carriage-shifting operation, an extension 78 of the latch 74 engaging a pin 19 on the frame 67 to assist the movement. A tooth on the lever 32 enters a notch in a locking disc on the shaft 46 to prevent movement of the carriage during a registering operation. When it is desired to move the carriage a number of places a pivoted finger lever 13 is operated. This lifts the rack 39 clear of the pins 38, unlatches the frames 67 and allows the movement of the carriage in either direction.
