Abstract: The air-cushion space on the underside of a hovercraft is bounded at the front by a screen which is connected to the vessel via one or more pairs of arms placed above one another. Of each pair of arms, one can bend or buckle and the other either can bend or buckle or is rigid and hingeable at two ends. When the air-cushion snace is pressurized, the fixing points of the arms to the screen are located in front of the fixing points of the arms to the vessel. In this manner, optimum self-adjustment of the screen is achieved.

Abstract: A manual operator which is useful when used with a valve or other type of device to provide either manual operation of the valve in one direction or to provide a stop against the movement of the valve away from one of its extreme positions. The device includes a ball nut (60), screw shaft (62) and balls (64) positioned in facing grooves in the nut and shaft so that relative rotation has very low friction. Thus rotation of one of the nut or screw shaft results in axial movement of the screw shaft (62) so that it can move or provide a stop. Aligned adjacent exterior surfaces are provided on a rotating part of the device and one a stationary part of the device which surfaces are engaged by a locking spring (76) which can be release from such surfaces when it is desired that the manual operator cause an axial movement of screw shaft (62). In one form of the invention the screw shaft rotates and the ball nut is stationery. In another form the ball nut rotates and the screw shaft is stationary. In a third form two locking springs are provided to lock against inadvertent relative rotation in both directions. In still another form of the apparatus, it is applied to a blowout preventer ram tail rod so that the axial movement of the tail rod is translated into rotation of a ball nut and a spring engages a surface rotating with the ball nut and a stationary aligned surface to prevent relative rotation in one direction to lock the tail rod with the piston in its inner or ram closed position.

Title: intermittent drive systems
IPC: B65H45/16
Filed: 2006-03-13
Abstract: To fold sheets of newsprint (1), a ring gear 7 is driven in rotation by a motor 11 under the control of a controller 12 such that, for most of the time, the ring gear 7 rotates at the same speed as a folding cylinder 2 and arms 8. When it is desired to initiate a folding operation, the ring gear 7 is momentarily stopped or slowed. The relative motion that occurs between the ring gear 7 and planet gears on the arms 8 causes the planet gears 9 to rotate about their axes and respective tucking blades 6 mounted on the planet gears 9 to protrude above the surface of the cylinder 2, where they engage collated sheets on the cylinder surface and push them into the nip of folding rollers (4). Upon completion of the movement of the planet gears 9 and associated tucking blades 6, the ring gear 7 is again caused to move at the same angular speed as the arms 8, such that the tucking blades 6 retain their “silenced” positions below the surface of the cylinder 2.

Patent GB-0811488-D0 (GB)
Title: Plug-in air hybrid vehicle
Filed: 2008-06-23
Abstract: An air hybrid vehicle is described powered by an internal combustion engine (16) which may or may not be equipped with a supercharger or turbocharger (10) for boosting the engine (16). In the invention, power is taken from the vehicle to drive the engine (16) during deceleration or coasting of the vehicle. The engine (16) absorbs kinetic energy from the vehicle and uses that energy to produce boost air which is transferred and stored in a boost air storage tank (34) on board the vehicle at a storage pressure not exceeding 3 bar absolute pressure. The vehicle achieves fuel saving and high performance by boost substitution when this boost air is used to supply the engine (16) for short periods during acceleration or cruising of the vehicle without relying on any air charger, temporarily fulfilling the role of an air charger without actually driving an air charger by substituting the boost normally supplied by an air charger with an equivalent boost produced and stored during regenerative braking. To accommodate a large boost air storage tank (34), the body of the vehicle is adapted with air-tight volumes linked together to form one large storage volume.

Filed: 1983-10-17
Abstract: A metal pilferproof closure for a container having an externally screw-threaded neck comprises a top 11, skirt 12 and piferproof band 13. The boundary between band 13 and the skirt 12 is defined by a continuous peripheral score line 14 on the internal surface of the closure, and score lines 15 extend from the lower edge of band 13 to score line 20 at intervals along the periphery of the band. The skirt is devoid of any protective bead or ring of knurling immediately above the score line 14. The lower extremity of the security band is turned inward during application of the closure so as to lie against an outwardly inclined shoulder 23 formed at the bottom end of an external band 22 on the container. The score line 14 is disposed above the maximum diameter part of the band 22 so that the score line is spaced radially away from the external surface of the container. When the closure is unscrewed the security band fractures along some or all of the score lines 15 and the score line 14 forms a hinge axis about which the segments defined by the score lines 15 can pivot outward.
