IPC: E05F11/06
Filed: 1953-11-02
Abstract: 748,795. Linkwork. ARENS CONTROLS, Ltd. Oct. 21, 1954 [Nov. 2, 1953], No. 30232/53. Class 80(3) [Also in Group X] Mechanism for moving a bar 2 longitudinally and also angularly about an axis 30 is particularly applicable to the operation of pivoted windows, louvres dampers and the like and comprises a carriage 3 supporting the bar 2 for sliding movement and being itself - mounted for pivotal movement about a pin 4 secured to a support 5 which alsc carries a roller 9 As shown, the support 5 is pivotally connected at 7 tc a bracket 8 secured to the frame 6 of a top-hinged window 27. The bar 2 is secured to a plate 28 which is pivotally connected at 30 to an arm 29 hinged to the movable window 27. The bar 2 is adapted to be actuated by means of a pair of cables 10. 11 passing oppositely round the roller 9 and being secured at the respective ends of the bar, the cables being operated at a remote point by pulling one or the other either directly or through any suitable mechanism 26. The arrangement of the mechanism is such that with the window closed as in Figs. 1-3 the pivot 30 of the bar 2 is coincident with the pivot 4 of the carriage 3 so that on pulling on one of the cables 10 or 11 the bar and the carriage will swing about this common pivot axis until a projection 31 on the plate 28 engages the arm 29 when the bar 2 will be at approximately right angles to the window. Further pivotal movement is thus prevented and the bar 2 will then be moved longitudinally in the carriage 3 to effect an opening movement of the window as in Fig. 4. Pulling on the other cable 10 or 11 will return, the window to closed position and finally pivot bar 2 and carriage 3 to the restea position parallel to the window as in Figs. 1 and 2. The arm 29 to which the bar 2 is pivoted could be secured to the fixed frame of the window 'and the support 5 to the movable part. Two or more devices could be operated from a single control point by cables arranged in series or by parallel branches from a main pair of cables. The windows may be bottom centrally or vertically hinged. Specification 747,564 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to control devices for oil burners
IPC: F23N5/20
Filed: 1959-09-04
Abstract: 930,783. Automatic temperature control. VULCAANSOORD N.V. Sept. 4, 1959 [Sept. 5, 1958], No. 30328/59. Class 38 (4). In an automatic temperature control system for space heating a thermostat controls the operation of a motor-driven fan supplying air to an oil-burner and the setting of a valve supplying oil to the oil-burner. As shown, contacts 27 of a room thermostat are closed when the room temperature is below a desired value and connect a heating element 7 of a bi-metal strip 16 to a secondary 3 of a transformer 1, the primary 2 of which is connected to terminals 14, 15. Deflection of the bi-metal strip 16 increases the oil supply, by depressing a member 25 of an oil supply valve 24, and closes a micro-switch 6 to connect a motor 26, driving a fan supplying combustion air to the burner, to a supply through a moving contact 5 from a selected tapping b-# on the primary 2. When the temperature rises above the desired value, contacts 27 are opened and the bi-metal strip 16 cools, to reduce the oil flow from the supply valve 24 to a minimum and switching off the fan motor 26. The contact 5 is fixed to a rack, movable relative to the contact a-# by a toothed wheel engaging holes in the rack. The toothed wheel is provided with a member coupled to the member 25 so that on starting up as the tapped voltage is increased the oil supply is increased.

Title: An improved document-actuated electric switching device
IPC: G03B27/16
Filed: 1952-12-01
Abstract: 716,414. Retractive switches. KODAK, Ltd. Dec. 1, 1952 [Dec. 1, 1951], No. 30403/52. Class 38(5) [Also in Group XXX]  A switch operated by a document to energize an electromagnetic counter, e.g. in photographic copying apparatus where documents move successively therethrough, comprises a lever 32 pivotally connected at one end 33 to a lever 22. the other end 37 extending into a peripheral recess 14 in a conveyer drum 10 to which the documents D are fed under a guide plate 11 and conveyed past a photographic station 12. The lever 32 is biased by a compression spring 40 on a guide lug 27 which freely extends through a vertical slot in the lever and is mounted on a flange 25 on a mounting plate 24. Normally, when the lever end 37 extends through the gap between two successive documents D, the lever 32 lies adjacent the flange 25 a shoulder 44 on the lug 27 being engaged by a washer 41 to space the latter from the lever 32 so that the lever is free to move vertically. The lever 22 is pivoted at 23 and biased by a spring 28 such that microswitch contacts 20, 21, are normally open. In operation, the lever 32 is displaced by a document leading edge LE against the bias of the spring 40 to the position shown in Fig. 2 where it rides on to the top surface of the document and is thereupon returned by the spring 40 to the flange 25. However. since the end 37 cannot now enter the drum recess 14, it moves upwards to lift the lever 22 about its pivot 23 and the contacts 20, 21 close, Fig. 3, (not shown). When the trailing edge of the document reaches the lever end 37 the parts are returned to their original positions by the spring 28. The arrangement provides a time delay between the engagement of the lever 32 by a document and the operation of the switch contacts 20. 21, the delay permitting de-energization of the electromagnetic counter between successive energizations produced by a number of closely-spaced documents, and an accurate count is thus ensured. In a modification (Fig. 5, not shown) the lever end 37 is engaged by documents which move in a straight, not arcuate, path, and the documents are moved by a pair of conveyer belts situated respectively in front of. and behind, the lever end.

[Class 85] A bit for rock drilling comprises a hollow bit screwed into a hollow, toothed cutting crown 1 which in its turn screws into another crown of greater diameter and so on until the last crown 3, the body of which closes over the top interior to form a socket 10 for the ball 11 of a hollow vertically-reciprocating pipe 7. The circumferential cutting edge of each crown is formed by the intersection of two surfaces both extending inwardly and upwardly. In each crown are a number of passages 5 which are so positioned that, when the crown is screwed into an adjacent crown, they are just below the adjacent crown. As the bit is reciprocated vertically, the disintegrated material is carried through the passages 5 by compressed air forced down through the pipes 7, 19 and through the bit 4. The disintegrated material is carried into the hollow bore formed by the crowns and passes through openings 9 into a chamber formed by a casing 6 secured to the last crown where it remains until the tool is removed from the bore. Vanes 13 secured to the rod 7 provide for the rotation of the bit. The cutting bit may be made in a single piece, the crowns being formed integrally with a number of radially disposed grooves formed in the crowns so as to permit the passage of the disintegrated material upwards to passages leading to a storage bore. The point may be removed and the central air-passage formed of wider diameter to permit the obtaining of a specimen rock core. The diameter of any one crown is equal to that of the preceeding crown plus twice the distance separating them, and the crown having the greatest diameter may have a supplemental tooth portion. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also small bits embedded in the crowns to form their cutting edges, these bits being rotatable into different positions to present new cutting faces to the rock, and one form has no storage bore, the disintegrated particles passing up the borehole through concave channels formed in the crowns. The cutting edges of the crowns may be formed from metal strip positioned therein, the strip having saw teeth formed thereon. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
