Title: Improvements in or relating to television receivers
Inventor: ROBSON ALEXANDER
IPC: H04N5/46
Filed: 1961-12-04
Abstract: 947,360. Radio receiver switching arrangements; television. DECCA Ltd. Nov. 29, 1962, No. 43314/61. Headings H3Q and H4F. In a dual standard television receiver having a power pack for producing D.C. from A.C., the power pack smoothing circuit comprises two coils wound on separate cores, and an armature which is caused to be attracted to one or other of the coils by operation of the channel selector switch, thereby effecting the necessary changes in circuit conditions for changing from one standard to the other. As shown in Fig. 2, the two coils 48, 49 are wound on separate E-cores with the armature 52 between them. Assume the armature is initially at the righthand end of its travel, and its associated switch contacts 53, 56, 54 in the position shown. If the channel selector switch is operated to select a channel using a different standard contact 41 changes over to connect the aerial to the alternative input to the receiver 44, contact 45 operates a muting circuit and contact 46 shorts out coil 49. Armature 52 now moves to its left-hand position, changing over contacts 53 to effect any necessary changes in circuit conditions, such as line scanning frequency, video signal polarity, or I.F. selectivity. At the same time contact 54 opens connecting coil 49 back into the circuit, and contact 56 closes to prepare the shorting circuit across coil 48 for switching back to a channel on the other standard upon reversal of switch 46. In a modification, Fig. 1 (not shown), the armature is spring biased towards one coil and the channel selector switch is arranged to short out this coil only, to allow the armature to be attracted over to the other.

Title: Improvements in and relating to Fluid Control Valves.
IPC: F16K31/53
Filed: 1966-09-30
Abstract: 1,163,127. Valves. HONEYWELL Inc. 30 Sept., 1966 [18 Oct., 1965], No. 43793/66. Heading F2V. Safety cut-off gas valve for main and pilot burners consists of a rotary disc valve member 18 closed by a garter spring 32 when pilot flame failure has allowed a thermocouple to cool and caused a holding solenoid 54 to be released. A spring 55 then moves a lever 51 and thence a plate 40 upwardly. This plate is slidable axially in a slot 24b in a gear 24 which meshes with tooth recesses 23 in the valve member 18. Ends 40c of a C-shaped part of the plate are released from recesses 42a in a coupling member 41 which is rotatable only with the control re-setting knob 25. To re-set the device, the knob must be forcibly turned to release it from spring detents 29a and then brought to OFF position. The knob is fast with a stem 28 which is slotted to receive the coupling member 41. This member is biased upwardly relative to the stem by a spring 47. The slot 28a in the stem is widened at 28b to engage a lower part 40a of the plate 40 and provide shoulders which can depress this plate. On re-setting the valve, the knob is depressed until the bottom of a recess 35 engages a boss 33. This disengages stops 38 and (37), Fig. 3 (not shown), from a boss 39 and engages the slotted end 28b with the plate 40. The knob is turned to a position allowing pilot flow through ports not shown. The knob can then be further depressed as boss 33 can now enter a deeper recess 35a. This engages parts 40c with recesses 42a in the coupling member 41. On lighting-up, the holding device 54 becomes effective. The knob is now turned to ON to open the main flow port 20. If the knob is returned to OFF position from the pilot position when the holding device 54 is effective, fixed cams 45, 46 depress the coupling member 41 to release it from the plate 40 and this plate has to be later returned to zero along with the valve by the garter spring 32, before the valve can again be turned ON.

Title: Thermally Operated Three-Phase Protective Device.
IPC: H01H71/16
Filed: 1967-09-29
Abstract: 1,173,639. Protective arrangements. SQUARE D CO. 29 Sept., 1967 [18 Oct., 1966], No. 44334/67. Heading H2K. [Also in Division H1] A polyphase protective device comprises a plurality of bimetallic elements 26, 28, 30, each having one end attached to a lever 14 and the other end co-operating with a lever 16 and a stop 48. Resilient means, e.g. an ambient temperature compensating element 32 has one end attached to the lever 14 and its other end co-operating with an adjustable stop 64. When balanced overload occurs, the bimetallic elements are heated by heating elements 34, 36, 38 and after initial movement of the lever 14 to take up the lost motion between the element 32 and the stop 64 and to stress the element 32, the lever 16 is moved to change over a moving contact 74 from a fixed contact 72 to a fixed contact 70. These contacts are those of a spring blade snap-action switch unit having a resetting push-button 157 which may be used to manually reset the contacts by moving the " fixed " contact 70 or may be latched by a slide 178 to hold the contact 70 in the position shown so that the contacts are reset automatically as the bimetallic elements cool. When unbalanced conditions occur, e.g. due to phase failure, one or more of the bimetallic elements 26, 28, 30 abuts the stop 48 and helps to restrain movement of the lever 14 so facilitating the movement of the lever 16 by the heated bimetallic elements. An " accelerating " bimetallic element 66 is heated by all the heating elements 34, 36, 38 and is provided to ensure operation of the device under unbalanced loading occurring due to the failure of a primary phase when a star delta transformer is used to supply a motor. This element 66 is fixed at one end and has its other end acting on the lever 14. The opening of the contacts 72, 74 may interrupt the supply to the operating coil of a contactor and the closing of the contacts 74, 70 may complete an alarm or indicating circuit.

Filed: 1963-11-11
Abstract: 1,005,514. Controlling reactors. GROUPEMENT ATOMIQUE ALSACIENNE ATLANTIQUE. Nov. 11, 1963 [Nov. 12, 1962], No. 44417/63. Heading G6C. A nuclear reactor control rod drive mechanism comprises a control rod suspension member passing over a guide member, first and second systems for locking the suspension member in position and mounted on a common frame, the first acting on the suspension member between the control rod and the guide member, and the second acting on the suspension member after the suspension member has passed through the guide member from the control rod, and means for causing relative movement between the frame and guide member, the mechanism being such that the control rod is dropped when both of said locking systems are released. The suspension member is in the form of a chain 1, 2, which passes over a pulley 3 axially moved relative to the fixed locking system frame 9, by a stainless steel bellows unit 11 supplied with high or low pressure gas from reservoirs 14, 15 through regulators 12, 13. The two identical locking systems each comprise a bolt 6 held in the locked position (as at 4) by a solenoid, and unlocked by a spring 8 (see 5). In the embodiment illustrated the frame 9 is fixed and the guide pulley body 10 is movable; alternatively, the frame may be movable and the guide pulley body fixed. In operation, the control rod may be used as an emergency shutdown rod, or as a fine or coarse control rod. Emergency shutdown can be achieved from any control rod position by releasing both locks; fine and coarse adjustments are carried out in identical manner but at different speeds. Thus the chain 1, 2 is fed to raise or lower the control rod attached to the lower end of the run 2 by appropriate cycles involving the alternate locking and unlocking of the locks 4, 5, and intermediate compressing and expanding of the bellows 11.

Filed: 1963-11-12
Abstract: 1,106,387. Disc brakes. DUNLOP RUBBER CO. Ltd. 4 Nov., 1964 [12 Nov., 1963], No. 44543/63. Heading F2E. In a disc brake of the kind having a pair of pressure plates 12, 13 carrying pads 15, 16, attached e.g. by bolts 17, 18, and which are pivoted by pins 45, 46 to a caliper-type support 11, their free ends being drawn towards each other to apply the pads to the disc by an operating mechanism 22, the pins 45, 46 are journalled in V-shaped slots 47, 48 in the caliper whereby on brake application the drag force acting on the pads causes the pins to act on one or other of the inclined edges of the slots 47, 48 (according to the direction of rotation of the disc) to give a self-servo effect. This is partially offset by increased reaction force acting on the operating mechanism but owing to high mechanical advantage of the operating mechanism and frictional losses it is said that a useful self-servo effect is obtained at the driver's pedal or other operating lever. The latter operates on a shaft 21 which carries an arm 32 linked by a rod 24 to an arm 36 integral with a plate 29 forming part of the operating mechanism. The mechanism also includes a tie rod 25 about which the plate 29 is rotatable and having a threaded portion 44 engaging a threaded boss 26 carried by plate 13. Balls 35 are arranged to engage inclined recesses in the plate 29 and also similar recesses in a block 30 which engages the plate 12, whereby rotation of plate 29 causes the balls to force members 29, 30 apart to apply the brake. The plate 29 has a lost-motion connection with one end of a spring 42 arranged to tighten against the tie rod during brake release to effect automatic wear adjustment by rotation of the tie rod to screw the threaded portion 44 into the boss 26. To ensure that the tie rod does not rotate on brake application a plate 38 held against rotation by a pin 41 on the block 30 is arranged to be gripped between the plate 29 and a head 27 on the tie rod during brake application.

Title: Improvements in or relating to pulse generating devices
IPC: H01L45/00
Filed: 1968-09-20
Abstract: 1,243,385. Electroluminescence. MATSUSHITA ELECTRIC INDUSTRIAL CO. Ltd. 20 Sept., 1968 [22 Sept., 1967; 3 Oct., 1967(3)], No. 44947/68. Heading C4S. [Also in Divisions G4, H1 and H3-H5] A pulse generator consists of a load impedance Z L , Pig. 1, a centre-tapped variable supply voltage E, and two impedance elements ZA, Z B , each having a characteristic (Fig. 2, not shown), which exhibits an abrupt change in current flow through the element at a predetermined threshold voltage applied across it, the threshold voltages for the two elements ZA, ZB being different. In operation, as the voltage supply is increased one of the elements ZA switches to its high current condition, causing a current to flow in the load Z L . The consequent voltage across the load Z L  increases the voltage across Z B  so that this element also switches to its high current state, and as the common connection of ZA, Z B  is now approximately back at the potential of the centre tap of E, the load current in Z L  stops. Thus a short current pulse is generated in Z L . A single line spot-scanning plate Fig. 3, for an image display, has an electroluminescent plate 4 constituting the load Z L ; a layer 1 of CdSe one longitudinal half of which together with a 'longitudinal electrode 2 constitutes ZA and the other half, with electrode 3 constitutes Z B ; a longitudinal electrode 5 for connection to the centre-tap of the voltage source transformer 6; and a ramp generator 8 and signal generator 9 connected to the primary 7 of the 'transformer. The electrodes 2, 3 are of resistance wire so that the .position at which a current pulse is produced in the plate 4 to generate a spot of light having an intensity governed by the instantaneous value of the signal waveform 9, is swept along the length of the plate by the ramp waveform 8. A terminating impedance 11 provides correction for voltage gradients, and impedance matching. An image display device uses a plurality of these line-scanners. A voltage measuring and indicating device (Fig. 5, not shown), has a block (201) of electroluminescent material 'constituting ZL, carrying pairs of CdSe elements (206) one of each pair constituting a discrete ZA and the others ZB; and has discrete electrodes (205) joining the two elements Z A , Z B  of each pair, a longitudinal electrode (202) connected the centre tap of the supply, and tapered electrodes (203, 203<SP>1</SP>) providing an increasing resistance along the length of the block. At a given input voltage the first pair of elements Z A , Z B  switch to their high current state thus producing a current pulse (in 201) which generates a light spot. An A.C. source causes repetition of the light pulse to give an effectively continuous illumination. As the direct voltage (207) is increased the boundary between the lit and unlit portions of the block is moved along the block. An equivalent circuit is given (Fig. 6, not shown).
