Title: Rotary couplings
IPC: B60K17/346
Filed: 1970-07-18
Abstract: 1357106 Four-wheel drives HARRY FERGUSON Ltd 1 July 1971 [18 July 1970 (2) 22 Feb 1971] 34950/70 34952/70 and 5137/71 Heading B7H [Also in Division F2] In a four-wheel drive vehicle, a viscous coupling 11 is provided in the drive to one set of wheels, which wheels are not normally driven by virtue of the gearing, so that should the other set of wheels slip this slip will be restricted and torque transferred to the one set of wheels. As shown the output shaft 32 from the engine drives the planet carrier 29 of an epicyclic differential 28, drive to one set of wheels being from the ring gear 30 via shaft 33 and drive to the other being via sun gear 31, a shaft 37 and a  chain drive to the shaft 35 to these wheels. The coupling interconnects ring gear 30 and the sun gear 31. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 17) the coupling 38 is disposed in the drive to the front wheels as shown, torque only being transmitted thereby when the front wheels spin. An anti-lock braking sensor may also be incorporated (Fig. 18, not shown).

Filed: 1955-12-06
Abstract: 818,711. Brain centres localizing and treating. MINISTER OF SUPPLY. Jan. 9, 1957 [Dec. 6, 1955], No. 34979/55. Class 81 (2). A sterotoxic device comprises a rigid frame for securing to a patient, mounting members adjustable on the frame, X-ray grids mountable on the mounting members for locating in three dimensions the target area to be treated, a pivotal semi-circular bridge mountable on the mounting members in place of the X-ray grids and having an adjustable holder for a piercing instrument and means for adjusting the bridge or the instrument holder according to the location of the target by the X-ray grids so that when the bridge is mounted the instrument tip may be brought to the target area. A frame 10 having limbs formed by double parallel bars 10a, 10b which are secured together by corner blocks 11, is temporarily fixed on the head by auxiliary studs. The studs 16 are mounted on clamps secured to the frame 10 and engage the head at the back, the ears and the nose. Mountings 14, vertically adjustable on the blocks 11 carry pointed studs 13 which engage with holes made in the skull by a countersink cutter which is mounted for use on each stud 13 in turn. The auxiliary studs are removed from the frame 10 when the pointed studs 13 engage the head. X-ray grid screens 20 suitable for teleradiography are then mounted on carriers 19a, 19b, 19c secured to the frame at the sides and front of the head and X-ray pictures are taken. The position of the target area to be treated about three major axes is noted from the pictures on the screens 20. The X-ray grid screens are removed and laterally slidable brackets 22a, 22b are arranged on the two side carriers 19a, 19b. These brackets 22a, 22b carry quadrants 23a, 23b which are vertically adjustable by set screens 24 slidable in slots 25a. The set screens 24 have extensions 24b which serve as diametral pivots for a semi-circular bridge 26 which is supported clear of the head. A housing 30, supporting slidable electrodes 31 or other operating instrument, is slidable on the bridge 26. The housing 30 provides a stop which limits the movement of the instrument beyond the centre of the diameter of the bridge 26. Set-screws 24 are adjusted so that the diameter of the bridge 26 is at the same vertical height as the target area as determined by the X-ray pictures, carriers 19a, 19b, are adjusted along the frame 10 so that the diameter of the bridge 26 passes through the target area and finally, brackets 22a, 22b are moved laterally so that the centre of the diameter of the bridge 26 coincides with the target area. The bridge 26 is angularly adjustable on the quadrants 23a, 23b and the housing 30 is adjusted on the bridge 26 so that it overlies the best point of entry into the skull. The operating instrument is then used to penetrate the brain as far as the target area. The operating instrument may be directed at a point other than the centre of the diameter of the bridge 26.

Abstract: 1,058,712. Sorting devices. C. LANDY. Sept. 5, 1963 [Sept. 7, 1962], No. 35146/63. Heading B8A. Components 2 having different parameters are sorted into classes of uniform parameter by means of rotating table 1, the component being discharged from the table at an appropriate discharge point. A component 2 of class 5 let us say is placed into a receptacle 3 at station 0 on the table. The operator operates handle 7 to effect a movement of five notches of gear 6. The gear engages rack 8 to cause the respective shaft 5 to be displaced upwards (as shown) by a distance of five units. Table 1 having been thus set, is stepped round. As the table rotates, rack 8 engages stationary cam 9 so that after one step to station 1 shaft 5 has been displaced downwards by one unit. After five steps of rotation by table 1 rack 8 has been displaced five units downwards to its initial position and component 2 occupies station V. At this position abutment 11 carried by shaft 5 strikes a fixed abutment 12 to cause rotation of shaft 5 and therefore of pivoted shutter 4 to release the component from its receptacle 3 to be discharged at station V. A further displacement of table 1 causes abutment 13 to engage fixed stop 14 to bring receptacle 3, shaft 5 and rack 8 back to their original position 0 ready for a further cycle of movement. The table 1, shafts 5 and racks 8 form a memory system which may operate electrically any system of discharge. Alternatively the shafts 5 and racks 8 may be carried by an endless chain in lieu of table 1. Endless belt discharge, Fig. 3 (not shown).- Articles of differing classes may be placed on conveyer 30 and discharged at selected stations by use of the same memory system. As shown, an article is to be discharged from belt 30 at station 3 by plough 34/III. The memory system 33 of the above type has been set by the operator by the rotation of the said gear 6 by three steps by means of the handle. The belt 30 has been started so that with each rotation of the conveyer roller dog 31 moves wheel 32 by one step and after three rotations of the conveyer roller wheel 32 has been moved through three steps at which memory device 33 operates to cause plough 34/III to discharge the article as shown.

Filed: 1962-09-18
Abstract: Primary aliphatic alcohols having 8 carbon atoms are prepared from hydrocarbons consisting mainly of butenes by forming intermediate alkyl alkyl aluminium derivatives which are oxidized and the resulting aluminium octylate hydrolysed to give the alcohol.  The formation of the alkyl aluminium compound comprises (a) submitting the hydrocarbons to a growth reaction by bringing them into contact with an alkyl aluminium derivative principally butyl-aluminiums at a temperature of 130-280 DEG  C. and pressure of 20-400 kg./cm.2, the ratio between the number of aluminium gram equivalents attached to the alkyl-aluminium used during the growth reaction and the number of gram-molecules of total 1-butene present either fixed to the aluminium or in a free state being from 0.18 to 2.1, (b) separating the butenes not converted during the growth reaction, at a temperature of 50-200 DEG  C., and pressure of 0.2-10 kg./cm.2, treating a portion of them with aluminium and hydrogen by known processes to obtain all the alkyl-aluminium required for the above growth reaction, (c) treating the products of the growth reaction apart from the unconverted butenes with olefins composed principally of a -octenes to displace the isobutyl groups still present in the form of isobutyl aluminium after the growth reaction, at a temperature of 90-220 DEG  C. and a pressure of 0.5-10 kg./cm.2, and to alkylate the dialkyl aluminium monohydrides resulting from the growth reaction at a temperature of 75-140 DEG  C. and a pressure of 0.5-10 kg./cm.2; separating the olefins at a temperature lower than 100 DEG  C. and during the above reactions of displacement and alkylation recycling the olefins thus separated, the ratio of the weight of the recycled olefins to the weight of the products of the growth reaction freed from unconverted butenes being from 0.02 -1. In the example the oxidation is effected at 50 DEG  C. in a hydrocarbon solvent under a pressure of 6 kg./cm.2, the oxygen partial pressure being 1 kg./cm.2.
