Abstract: 1,221,744. Drivers' brake valves. BENDIX CORP. 25 March, 1969 [10 April, 1968], No. 15578/69. Heading F2F. When pedal pressure is exerted on input control member 22 to cause valve control plunger 30 to unseat ball valve 28, thereby connecting inlet chamber 32 with outlet chamber 34, the initial reaction force resulting from the pressure now existing in chamber 34 acts through the whole of the area of the left-hand face of elastomeric reaction (and sealing) disc 52 on input control member 22 (these two elements now being in contact at 56, 58). As pressure in chamber 34 increases, the outer periphery of the right-hand face of reaction disc 52 collapses on to shoulder 60 (thereby closing chamber 62 which is preferably bled at 64 to reservoir 10); input control member 22 now takes only a proportion of the reaction force, namely, the proportion given by the ratio of the cross-sectional areas of bore 46 and chamber 34. In Fig. 2 (not shown), the cut-away portion of reaction disc 52 is frusto-conical instead of stepped.

Abstract: <PICT:0348407/IV/1> <PICT:0348407/IV/2> <PICT:0348407/IV/3> A process for the uniform wetting of threads, particularly artificial threads wherein the wetting liquid issues under pressure from a narrow orifice of a nozzle and the thread passes directly over the orifice or over an edge below the orifice.  The rate of transmission of the liquid to the thread is controlled either by varying the pressure at which the liquid is supplied or by adjusting the resistance to the flow of the liquid through the nozzle.  The liquid is supplied through a pipe a provided with a manometer f and with branches b. Each branch b is provided with a nozzle c against which the thread passes on its way to a spool e or to some similar collecting device. In one form of nozzle, as shown in Fig. 4, the thread passes over the orifice g from which the liquid issues under pressure and the front of the nozzle is notched to prevent the thread from leaving the nozzle.  A modified form of nozzle, as shown in Fig. 7, contains a cylinder i, provided with a bore g and adapted to be exchanged for a similar cylinder with a bore of different diameter.  In this case the liquid flows from the orifice to an edge k below the orifice and is stripped off from that edge by the thread.
