IPC: B23G5/12
Abstract: 132,688. Mountford, F., and Standen, R. Dec. 16, 1918. Screwing die-heads.-A self-opening die-head comprises a head d chambered at l to receive the stem c of a die-holder b, and a helical spring k which presses the die-head and die-carrier together. The dies are mounted adjustably in carriers g<1> which slide in grooves in the diecarrier and have pegs h engaging the grooves in the cam-plate and recesses o in the die-head in the closed position. The head engages a fixed stop on completion of the thread, whereupon the die-holder is drawn forward until the pins h are disengaged from the holes in the die-head.

Title: Movable body provided with a control means for stopping it  after constant predetermined distances travelled
IPC: F15B21/02
Filed: 1975-04-01
Abstract: 1463647 Hydrostatic transmission control ETABS MATENIN SA 1 April 1975 [2 April 1974] 13373/75 Heading F2W A hydrostatic transmission control for stopping a vehicle after it has moved through a predetermined distance comprises a variable displacement pump 2 in closed circuit with a fixed displacement motor 1 and a pump displacement adjustment servo 4 supplied with pressure liquid from an engine driven pump 3 through an electromagnetically operated reversing valve 5 controlled by a timer 6. With the valve 5 positioned as shown pressure liquid is supplied to the lower end of a servo cylinder 13 and moves a servo piston 12 upwardly to reduce pump displacement to zero and thus stop the vehicle. After a predetermined time the timer 6 actuates an electromagnet which changes over the valve 5 to supply pressure liquid to the upper end of the servo cylinder 13. The servo piston 12 is moved downwardly to increase pump displacement until it abuts a stop 14. After a predetermined time corresponding to a predetermined distance travelled by the vehicle the timer 6 returns the valve 5 to the position shown which causes the vehicle to stop. The stop 14 limits the maximum vehicle speed and variable throttles 21, 22 in the supply lines to the servo cylinder 13 control the rate of change of pump displacement and thus the acceleration and deceleration of the vehicle.

IPC: H02P1/20
Filed: 1924-06-04
Abstract: 232,807. Igranic Electric Co., Ltd., (Cutler-Hammer Manufacturing Co.). June 4, 1924. Master control systems.-In a motor control system comprising electro magnetically operated resistance contactors, a restraining winding of a contactor is caused to become inoperative after a timelag due to self induction and independently of the strength of the motor current. In the system shown the first resistance - contactor 2 has a closing winding 2<a> and a restraining lock-out winding 2b. The restraining winding is connected across the motor field f, which initially diverts sufficient current through the restraining winding to lock-out the contactor for a period depending on the selfinduction of the field and the magnitude of the initial surge of current. The second contactor 3 has a restraining winding 3<b> which is shortcircuited bv the closure of the contactor 2 but remains operative for a period depending on its own self-induction. The succeeding contactors have restraining windings which behave similarly.

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for delivering aerated liquids on draught
IPC: B67D1/14
Filed: 1919-05-29
Abstract: 150,080. Flugel, B. J. V. A. May 29, 1919. Dispensing liquids.-In apparatus for delivering aerated liquids on draught, the liquid is first admitted from the source of supply through a pipe A<1> and valve-box C to a pressure-reducing chamber E. After the supply has been cut off, communication is opened between the upper part of the chamber E and a gas receiving chamber H, the pressure in the chamber E being thereby reduced. Communication between the chambers E and H is then closed, and the liquid, now under reduced pressure, drawn off from chamber E through a nozzle F. The nozzle F is then closed, and communication between the chambers E and H re-opened so that the gas pressure in the two is equalized. Communication between the two chambers is then again cut off, and the chamber E is ready to receive a fresh charge of aerated liquid from the supply pipe A<1>. To reduce the number of manipulations necessary in operating the apparatus, the valve-box C is connected (1) by a pipe D with the pressure-reducing chamber E at a level above that of the maximum charge in the chamber, (2) by a pipe G with the gas-receiving chamber H, and (3) by a pipe A<1> with the source of supply of the aerated liquid. Within the valve box is arranged a pair of valves I, M, Fig. 3, and a valve-operating device O actuated by a single handle O<x> for affording communication between the several passages in the above-specified sequence. The handle, in the arrangement shown, is swung to the right to open the valve I and admit liquid through pipe A<1>, passage A<2>, passage I<2>, and pipe D to pressure-reducing chamber E. The handle is then swung past the mid-position to the left, closing the valve I and cutting off the liquid-supply and opening communication, through pipe D, passage M<2>, and pipe G between chambers E and H. The handle is then released and the valve M closes, valve I being already closed. The liquid is now drawn off from chamber E. The handle is then swung again to the left to equalize the gas pressures. and then to the right to admit a fresh charge of liquid. In place of operating the valves, by a rocking lever, they may be operated in proper sequence or order by a rotary movement which may be imparted by a crank and handle, wheel, or equivalent acting on the valves through cranks and connecting-rods, cams, or eccentrics; or a rotary valve having multiple ports, may replace the valves shown. Such rotary movement may be arranged as a step-by-sten movement.

Title: An improved indicating or switching device actuated by the movement of a rotary member
IPC: H01H35/00
Filed: 1924-06-04
Abstract: 238,972. English Electric Co., Ltd., and Few, H. J. June 4, 1924. Indicating rest or motion. - In an in-motion indicator, the member 8 which gives the indication, or produces a switching effect, is rocked by a member 7, the force being transmitted by fluid friction. The members are formed as drums separated by a small space into which oil, grease, &c. contained in the inner drum passes. The drum 7 is fixed to a shaft 2 which is rotated when the shaft under observation is in motion. The drum 8, which surrounds the drum 7 loosely, is rooked by the fluid friction against the action of an adjustable spring 11. It carries an insulated strip 12 adapted to bridge contacts 14, 15 in an indicating circuit, which is broken when the, shaft is in motion. Stops 18, 20 limit the rocking movement. Temperature variations may be compensated for by making the drums of materials having different co-efficients of expansion. According to the Provisional Specification, the spring 11 may be dispensed with.

Title: Improvements in or relating to stabilising or shock absorbing systems for motor and like vehicles
IPC: B60G17/08
Filed: 1938-05-09
Abstract: 507,799. Vehicle, undercarriages; shock-absorbers. STRINGHER, D. May 9, 1938, No. 13750. Convention date, May 14, 1937. [Classes 108 (ii) and 108 (iii)] In a vehicle stabilizing or shock-absorbing system of the kind in Which the resistance of the shock-absorbers is varied by regulating a source of pressure according to the speed of the vehicle, a control device is inserted in the pressure supply line so that, in the event of pressure failing at the source or abruptly diminishing, the shock-absorbers do not abruptly lose their shock-absorbing capacity. As shown, liquid from a reservoir 3 is fed by a pipe 4 to a gear pump 2 mounted on the transmission shaft 1, and is pumped through a control device 6 to the various pipes 9, 10, 15, 16 leading to the shock-absorbers 11, 12, 17, 18, the pressure developed thus being dependent on the speed of the vehicle. The control 6 comprises a chamber 19 having an internal diaphragm 24 with valve-controlled apertures 25, which permit a substantially free flow of liquid to the shock-absorbers but which, if the pressure fails, are automatically closed so as to prevent an immediate release of the pressure in the shock-absorbers. A gradual release of the latter pressure is permitted by providing the diaphragm 24 with an additional aperture 27 controlled by a spring-loaded valve 28, which opens when the back pressure exceeds an amount determined by an adjustable control knob 30. The shock-absorbers may be of the friction, hydraulic, or any other suitable type.
