Title: Terminal supports,and corresponding terminal bars
IPC: H01R9/26
Filed: 1961-12-21
Abstract: 963,852. Terminal boards and blocks; binding-posts; cable and wire couplings. L. BLANCHET. Dec. 21, 1961 [Jan. 5, 1961; Dec. 14, 1961], No. 45798/61. Heading H2E. A terminal support of moulded insulating plastic material which may slide or clip on to the assembly rail of a connection bar, has at least one metal terminal in its upper part and a metal element connecting two wire-clamps in its lower part. Fig. 2 shows one embodiment in which the head of terminal 3 is embedded in insulation 1 which is extended to form a housing for a connecting element 6, comprising a bar connecting terminal - pieces which are held in the support by bosses 10 and 11. Conductors cooperating with element 6 enter the support through bores 7 and pass into bores 8 in element 6 to be clamped therein by screws 9 acted upon by retaining inserts 9a. The support is provided with nipples 4 and shoulders 12 to co-operate with edges 12a, Fig. 7, on insulating partitions 29 so that the latter are thereby fixed between supports mounted on an assembly rail 34 to form a connection bar. An end-plate 35, adapted to clip on the rail 34 or alternatively on nipples 4, has protruding portions 36 on which a cover 37 may be snapped to cover the assembly. The intermediate plates 29, end plates 35, and cover 37 may be replaced by individual covers. The supports shown in Fig. 7 are used to connect together high-frequency conductors 43 and 43a by means of terminal 3, and simultaneously to inter-connect the metal sheaths of these conductors through connecting elements 6 via ferrules 44, 44a and conductors 45 and 45a. Conductors 46 connect the metal sheaths of conductors 43 to connecting elements 6 of neighbouring supports, hence all the sheaths are connected, and may be earthed by connecting the end sheath to an earthing terminal 47 on a terminal clamp 38 on the rail. A support of the form described may alternatively be used to feed current from a common entry conductor connected to terminal 3 to five branch conductors (Fig. 11, not shown). In another embodiment, Fig. 5, a connecting element 13 of known type is housed inside a cavity 14 in an insulating block 15 moulded in one piece with a thin plate 16 which serves as an intermediate partition between neighbouring supports. A second block 17, also solid with plate 16, abuts the base of element 13 and a rib 19 with projections 20 on block 17 fits into a cavity 18 on said base to look the elements 13 into position. Bores 22 in the block 15 allow adjustment of screws 23 in the element 13. These supports may be placed in the same direction on assembly rails or face each other to allow shunting between upper terminals 27, when intermediate partitions 24 are provided only at the level of the connecting elements instead of over the entire height as shown. The cover for the supports may be pivotally mounted on the partitions (Figs. 8, 9, not shown).

Abstract: 1,079,739. Bowling alleys. PATENTVERWERTUNGS-UND FINANZIERUNGSGESELLSCHAFT SERANIA A.G. Nov. 10, 1964 [Nov. 11, 1963], No. 45828/64. Heading A6D. A conveyor for use in transporting pins from the pit to the pinsetter of a bowling alley comprises a pair of endless elements 4 bridged by spaced transverse bars 11, the upper run of the conveyor being parallel with a plate 12 which assists in locating correctly aligned pins between the transverse bars 11. Incorrectly aligned pins are displaced during the ascending run of the conveyor, such displacement being assisted by an elastic member 20. Triangular holders 18 are spaced above the delivery end of the conveyor a sufficient distance to allow only the heads 1c of pins to pass therebeneath, so that the pins are displaced towards one side of the conveyor. In an alternative form of the apparatus the heads are not retained by the holder but are deflected by the flaring 24 at the mouth of the delivery chute 21, ensuring that the pins are delivered to the pinsetter base first.

Abstract: 1459129 Viscous couplings DAIMLERBENZ AG 23 Oct 1974 [26 Oct 1973] 45869/74 Heading F2W A viscous coupling has a shear space between a surface 11 of a driving element 7 and a surface 13 of a driven housing 6, there is an inlet chamber 15 from which fluid enters the shear space to be conveyed radially inwardly by a helical groove 12, there is a reservoir space 16<SP>1</SP>, part of an outflow chamber 16, which can accommodate at least the major part of the working fluid radially outside the level 18 of the outlet from the shear space and there are controllable passages 19 between the chambers 16 and 15. The passages 19 are controlled by valve means 20 responsive to centrifugal force and/or temperature (not further described). The construction ensures that, with the passages 19 closed, the fluid in chamber 16 is held in space 16<SP>1</SP> by centrifugal force, which force does not tend to make fluid enter the shear space via its outlet. The coupling may drive a fan for the radiator of a vehicle.

Abstract: 1,071,655. Hatch cover. SWAN, HUNTER & WIGHAM RICHARDSON Ltd., and N. GILCHRIST. March 9, 1964 [Dec. 10, 1962], No. 46510/62. Heading B7S. [Also in Division E2] A ship's hatch cover for liquid cargo tanks comprises a cover plate 3 pivotally mounted on coaming 1 and adapted to be clamped on the coaming by toggle clamps 20; a counterweight 14 mounted on the cover plate and a pivotally mounted lifting handle 15, 16 adapted to serve for assisting in the clamping of the cover plate and also as a lever means bearing down on the counterweight for raising the cover plate. As shown, welded to the coaming 1 are two pairs of plate elements 6 having elongated holes 7 and similarly welded to cover plate 3 are hinge plates 8 positioned between and hinged to the plate elements 6. Each hinge plate has an arm 12 extending beyond the hinge axis which carries a round steel bar or counterweight 14 of half the weight of the hatch cover. Between each pair of plate elements 6 and adjacent the inner side of plates 8 there are pivoted arms 15, which are connected together by tube 16. The ends of the arms carry plates 17 having recessed pads 18 which are engaged by toggle bolts 19 when the cover plate is in the closed position. When the hatch is to be opened the toggles are loosened and swung clear, the tube 16 and arms 15 are raised until arms 15 bear down on counter weight 14 whereupon further downward movement lifts the cover plate to position 3B. In this position a hole 24 in the plate elements registers with holes (25) (Figs. 3 and 4, not shown) in arms 15 and plates 8, and pins not shown lock the cover plate in position. Each arm 15 also has a hole 26 (Fig. 3, not shown) which when the arms bear on the counterweight in the open position of the cover plate is in register with a hole 27 in one of the hinge plates 8. When the cover plate is to be closed the aforesaid pins are removed from holes 24, (25) and placed in holes 26, 27 to connect arms 15 to the cover plate 3. An upward force when applied to tube 16 then moves the cover to the closed position.

Preformed polymers specified are cellulose in the form of paper and pulp, wool, starch, silk polyethylene, polyamides and polyesters. The irradiation may be performed with ultra-violet light or high energy ionizing radiation, e.g. gamma-rays.  Grafting monomers specified are styrene, vinyl pyridines and acrylic acid and its amide and nitrile.
