Abstract: 760,010. Hydraulic accumulators. BRITISH MESSIER, Ltd. May 18, 1954 [May 19, 1953], No. 14064/53. Class 69 (2). To reduce the distance between an accumulator and a cut-out, the cut-out is located in a fitting that closes one end of the accumulator. The accumulator 11, having a floating piston 13 and an air filling valve 14, has a fitting 12 screwed on to it which contains the cut-out. A pump delivers fluid to a port 15, and through a non-return valve 16, to the accumulator. The pressure has access to the head 22 of a pilot valve 23 and, via a bleed hole 30, to a pilot conduit 17. When the pressure is sufficient to overcome a spring 24 that normally keeps the head of the valve 23 raised, the valve moves down and the conduit 17 is connected to an exhaust port 20. A by-pass valve 29 is then lifted and the supply port 15 is connected to the exhaust port 20. When the pressure falls, the spring 24 will close the port 26 of the valve 23 and the by-pass valve 29 will also close. The fluid supply will then be delivered to the accumulator.

Abstract: 698,227. Tyre-building apparatus. UNITED STATES RUBBER CO. June 10, 1952 [Aug. 1, 1951], No. 14558/52. Class 144 (i). In building tyres on a building drum 10, the tyre beads 13 are applied by a plurality of bead supporting and stitching rollers 18 arranged in a circular pattern on a frame 17. As shown, a frame 17 is arranged for axial movement towards and away from each end face of the drum 10, each frame 17 comprising a ring-shaped plate mounted on diametrically opposed pivots 48 between a pair of brackets 20 upstanding from a base-plate 21. Each baseplate 21 is slidable by means of rollers 23 on guideways 22 arranged under the drum 10 and is operated by an air cylinder and piston arrangement 26 or 27. The ring-shaped frames 17 each have a circular groove 31 on the rear face communicating with a plurality of angularly-spaced radial grooves 30 in the front face, each groove 30 raceiving a radially slidable block 32 which is held therein by a flange 33 extending circumferentially in the groove 31. The blocks 32 each rotatably support a bead supporting and stitching roller 18 having a tapered body 38 and a tapered flange 39 and arranged with its axis directed radially inwardly of the frame 17 and inclined to the plane thereof so that the bead-contacting faces of the roller body and flange are substantially parallel and at right angles respectively to the frame 17. Simultaneous adjustment of the rollers 18 radially of the frame 17 to accommodate bead rings of different diameter is effected by a cam ring 40 slidably mounted in the circular groove 31 of the frame 17 and having a spiral cam groove 41 to co-operate with a pin 42 secured to the underside of each roller block 32, the cam ring 40 being manually operable by lugs 43 thereon. In operation, a bead ring 13 supported on the roller flanges 39 is applied to the tyre plies on the drum 18 by the roller surfaces 38, the rollers 18 being caused to rotate individually when the bead is carried around with the drum 10. The frame pivots 48 allow self-aligning movement of the frame about the pivot axes to ensure parallelism of the frame with the end face of the drum. Should the frame 17 be out of axial alignment with the drum 10 the bead 13 will not be stitched to the tyre plies but will be pulled loose by the rollers 18, eccentric application of the bead being thereby prevented.

In retarder control systems for railway gravity-operated marshalling yards of the kind in which the speed of the wagons is detected by a radar transmitting and receiving horn H by which circuits controlling the application of the retarder bars R are controlled, in order that the radar horn H may not give a false signal by reflection off a wagon which is passing over the points P to a branch track controlled by a different retarder, a section TS of the branch track immediately in advance of the retarder R is made part of a circuit including a track relay TR so that the signal transmitted will only become operative when a wagon is actually in the respective branch track. When the track relay TR and thus the switching relay SR are energized, the output from the integrator Int which is fed from the radar device H is connected through front contact SR1 to the grid of amplifier valve V1. The output from valve V1 controls the grid voltage of cathode coupled valves V2 and V3 in such a.way that when the output potential from the integrator Int is sufficient the grid of the valve V3 takes over conduction and energizes a relay RL which may be used to control application of the retarder R by means not shown.
