Title: Fuel supply system
Inventor: TIMMS COLIN THOMAS
IPC: F02M37/00
Filed: 1986-06-10
Abstract: A fuel supply system for an engine includes a low pressure pump 12 which draws fuel from a fuel tank 17 and supplies the fuel to a high pressure pump 11. A regulating valve 19 is provided to control the output pressure of the low pressure pump 12 and it is constructed to connect a chamber 22 to the inlet of the high pressure pump 11 so that the associated engine may be started after the fuel 17 has been allowed to run dry. The chamber 22 receives the surplus fuel which is then returned via a non-return valve 25 to the inlet of the low pressure pump 12 due to the normal regulating action of the valve 19 so that the chamber is maintained full of fuel during normal operation of the system. After tank 17 has run dry a piston part 29 is moved down by a spring 30 and thereby closes the connection between the low pressure pump 12 and the high pressure pump 11 and connects the reservoir 22 via ports 21, 27 to the high pressure pump 11. <IMAGE>

Title: Lifejackets
Inventor: EVANS FREDERICK MAURICE
IPC: B63C9/125
Filed: 1986-11-07
Abstract: A two-compartment lifejacket is constrained by a releasable fastening (40) so that it is only partially unwrapped or evolved in the event of inflation of one only of the compartments, e.g., due to the other compartment being punctured or its gas cylinder failing to operate.

Patent GB-2223898-A (GB)
Title: Position switches
Inventor: GREGORY ROBERT JOHN
IPC: H01H13/702
Filed: 1988-09-20
Abstract: A binary encoded position switch has fifteen switching points (1 to 15) which correspond in sequence to the binary numbers of a continuous progression code in which there is only one bit change between any pair of binary numbers corresponding to neighbouring switch points. Operation of a switching point brings a common conductor (E) which extends along the longitudinal axis (22) of the switch into contact with one or more bit channel conductors (A, B, C and D) each of which has portions on the axis (22) corresponding to "ones" of an equivalent bit column of the continuous progression code and portions spaced from the axis (22) corresponding to "zeros" of the equivalent bit column. The use of a continuous progression binary code (e.g. the "Gray code") is advantageous because if two adjacent switching points are accidentally depressed at the same time, the possible error can never be greater than one switching position. <IMAGE>
