Filed: 1975-01-03
Abstract: 1485582 Central heating systems TOUR AGENTURER AB 3 Jan 1975 [11 Jan 1974] 248/75 Heading F4U [Also in Division F2] A single-tube central heating system comprises a vessel (not shown) for heating a fluid, e.g. water connected by a feed duct 11, Fig. 2, to at least one one-tube loop including radiators 16...19 via a duct 12, the first radiator in each loop forming a master radiator controlled by a valve actuated by a thermostat 24. Each loop of the system has a temperature sensing device 33, Fig. 3, mounted in the casing of a member 25 to sense the temperature of fluid returning from the master radiator through a duct 29 to actuate in dependence on that temperature the position of a valve 35 in the member. The valve 35 controls the flow of fluid from a return duct 14 common to all the loops through a duct and inlet 26 into a valve chamber 41 and also the flow of hot fluid through the duct 12 into the chamber 41. The member 25 also comprises outlets 27, 28 leading the heated or mixed fluid from the valve chamber 41 to other radiators of the loop and to the radiator 16 respectively. In operation, when the temperature of the fluid entering the member 25 through the inlet 29 drops, the valve is actuated to reduce the inflow through the inlet 12 and increase that through the inlet 26 and vice versa. The valve comprises a slidable cylindrical body 35 having a face 36 co-operating with a seat 37 controlling flow through the inlet 26 and its peripheral surface 38 reduces flow through the inlet 12. An elongated support 32 for the device 33 has two axially spaced heads, one for screwing into a sleeve 31 of the device and the other acts to reduce pressure in return water through the inlet 29. An adjusting device (not shown) for all the radiators in a loop may comprise a time switch, located on an extension 44 of a bar 34 extending from the sensing device 33 and the valve body, and a spring 45 may be positioned between aligned spaced portions of the bar 34 for protection purposes. The device 33 is reset by a spring 43 surrounding the bar extension. The other radiators in the loop or loops may be manually or thermostaticallycontrolled independently of the or each master radiator.

Title: Improvements in and relating to electrically driven clocks, particularly savings clocks
IPC: G07F17/00
Filed: 1933-01-04
Abstract: 410,554. Coin -- freed savings clocks. JENSEN, T. A., 16, Eriksgade, Copenhagen. Jan. 4, 1933, No. 249. [Classes 27 and 139.] An electric clock, particularly a savings clock, is driven by magnetic interaction between the balance ring, comprising permanent magnets 3, 4 having like poles adjacent, and a coil 7 encircling the balance. The balance arbor carries a disc 8, which supports the ring 3, 4 by an arm 2, and has an eccentric pin 9 coacting with the forked end of a lever 10, 12 pivoted at 11 which drives the minute shaft 24 through a pawl 18, ratchet wheel 19 and worm gearing 22, 23. The coil circuit is controlled by an extension 13 of arm 12 which oscillates between the prongs of a fork 14, one prong 15 of which is insulated. The fork 14 is carried by an insulated rotatable shaft 16 on which bears a stressed contact brush 17, the coil circuit thus being closed during movement of the balance in one direction only. Alternatively the fork 14 may be fixed to the arm 12 and the shaft 16 may carry a contact rod moving between the fork prongs. When the apparatus is applied as a savings clock, the coil circuit includes a rotary contact mechanism (not shown) carried by a shaft 26, Fig. 3, rigid with a toothed wheel 27. Periodically a stop mechanism in the clock rotates this wheel one tooth towards the open circuit position of the contact mechanism, the clock eventually stopping unless coins are inserted, each coin advancing the wheel 27 one tooth in the reverse direction through a lever 29 in known manner. Stop mechanism. This comprises plate levers A, B, Figs. 3, 4, pivotally mounted side by side at 44, and biassed by springs 45, 47, respectively, normally to abut against a stop 46. A pin 48 journalled in plate B and connected to spring 47 passes through a clearance hole in a member 30 pivoted to A at 49, and engages in an elongated hole 51 in plate A thereby allowing a small relative angular movement between A and B. Each day a pin 43 on a week wheel 42 rocks the levers A, B. As lever A is longer than B, the latter slips off the pin 43 before A and is slightly rotated relative thereto by spring 47, Fig. 4. The member 30 is also rotated relative to A, so that when lever A slips off pin 43 and the biassing springs rock their respective levers to the stop 46, B moves slightly in advance of A, and the nose 50 of member 30 engages and advances the wheel 27 one tooth, being retracted from the path of the wheel teeth as lever A comes into alignment with B against the stop 46. A spring 52 ensures the wheel 27 moving only one tooth at a time. The week wheel 42 is driven through pinion 41 and ratchet wheel 40 by a pawl 38 carried by a bell crank lever 34, actuated by one or more pins 32 on a disc 31 rigid with the minute shaft 24. The number of pins 32 and 43 may be varied to control the number of coins necessary for insertion to keep the clock going.

Abstract: 786,242. Valve gear; lubricating. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. Jan. 10, 1956 [Jan. 20, 1955; Jan. 20, 1955], No. 815/56. Classes 7(2) and 7(6) A valve rocker 6, Fig. 2 is pivoted on a member 15 which is mounted on a stud 14 extending through the rocker and forming part of a hydraulic clearance adjusting device having a spring 35 arranged to move the member 15 to take up any clearance. The rocker 6 is formed with a hemispherical depression 11 which bears on the member 15 secured to the stud 14 which carries at its lower end a cup-shaped plunger 22 sliding in a cylinder member 26 screwed into the cylinder head 2, the end of the cylinder 26 being closed by a flange 29 held in position by a screwed nut 31 and formed integral with a sleeve 28 forming a guide for the stud 14. The plunger 22 and stud 14 are urged downwards by the spring 35 to take up slack in the valve gear, upward movement of the stud and plunger when the valve is opened being resisted by hydraulic fluid, e.g. lubricating oil, supplied to the pressure space 21 from a reservoir 27 through passages 40, 41 and past a non-return valve 34. Lubricating oil is supplied to the bearing surface of the member 15 through a 'hollow push rod 5 and orifices 10, 10<SP>1</SP>, some of the oil draining through an aperture 39 into a subsidiary reservoir 38 in the nut 31 which feeds oil through a filter 39 into the passage 37 leading to the non-return valve 34. Hydraulic fluid escaping along the stud 14 when the valve is opened is collected by an annular groove 42 and returned to the reservoir 27. In a modification the plunger 22 is formed of rubber so that it is selfsealing and no fluid escapes from the pressure space past the plunger and in a further modification the nut 31 is formed integral with the cylinder 26. In Fig. 5 the stud 214 is enlarged at 241 to surround the cylinder member 229 of the hydraulic adjuster which is screwed in the cylinder head, the plunger 246 acting against a pin 245 carried by the stud 214. Oil from the valve gear, filtered by a screen 247, collects in the space 240 surrounding the stud 214 and flows through port 241 into a reservoir 238 which supplies pressure space 236 through a non-return valve 233. In Fig. 10 the cylinder of the hydraulic adjuster is formed by a ball-ended member 159 on which the valve rocker is pivoted, the plunger 62 of the adjuster being formed by the upper end of the stud 56 screwed in the cylinder head. A baffle 76 on the rocker cover deflects oil from the valve gear into a reservoir 171 attached to the cylinder 159 and feeding the pressure space 66 through a non-return valve 69<SP>1</SP>. In a modification the pressure space is fed with oil under pressure supplied through a passage in the stud 56.
