Title: Improvements in taximeters
IPC: G07B13/00
Filed: 1927-04-20
Abstract: 288,817. Simms, W. H., (Ohmer Fare Register Co.). April 20, 1927. Zeroizing-mechanism. - In re-setting mechanism for taximeters the transfer pinions 22, Figs. 11 and 12, of the fare registering drums are loosely mounted on a spindle 22<a> carried by a frame 34 pivoted at 35 and pulled by a spring 31. As the flag passes into " vacant " position, a pin 37 on the camshaft C engages an arm 36 on the frame 34, which is rocked to take the transfer pinions out of mesh with the gears of the fare drums so that they may be re-set. The transfer pinions have square hubs which engage flats on a resiliently mounted bar 22<c> in order to prevent their displacement while out of mesh. Re-setting is effected by a pivoted toothed segment 104, Fig. 1, which, during the registering operation is held up against the tension of a spring 107 by the end 111 of a pivoted lever. This lever has a nose engaging a cam on the flag-shaft so that the re-setting segment 104 is dropped as the flag moves into " vacant " position. The segment drives a gear 85 secured to the first fare drum through gears 103, 88, and a ratchet clutch 95. The clutch is held open until the flag is given its final movement by a cam 100 on the shaft C engaging a lever 96 having an edge 98 which bears upon a pawl. The higher drums are zeroized by stops on the lower drums engaging spring-pressed pawls.

Title: Improvements relating to electric motor control devices for refrigerators
IPC: G05D23/275
Filed: 1954-04-12
Abstract: 758,866. Control of A.C. motors; controllers; magnetic switches. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. April 12, 1954 [April 20, 1953], No. 10740/54. Classes 38(3) and 38(5) In a refrigerating system, a motor 5 having a starting winding 9 and a running winding 10 drives a compressor for delivering vapour under pressure from a unit 3 to a condenser 2. When the refrigerating unit is idle, a spring 30 maintains a plunger 26 in its upper position in which it attracts a magnet 23 mounted on a spring-biased arm 20 carrying an insulated finger 21. Thus, starting contacts 18 are maintained closed and the starting and running circuits completed when the motor supply is switched on. Refrigerant pressure then develops in cylinder 24 about the reduced portion of the plunger 26 until, at a predetermined motor speed, the spring 30 is overcome and the plunger moves to its lower position, so opening a passage from the refrigerating unit 3 to the condenser 2. The dropping of the plunger 26 renders the magnet 23 ineffective for restraining the finger 21 from opening the contacts 18. The arm 20 may continue to be prevented from lifting under the influence of spring 22, however', by, means of coil 31 which carries the running winding-current and releases the arm 20 only at the end of the starting-period. At the end of a cycle of operation, the spring 30 moves the plunger 26 to its upper position to attract the magnet 23 downwardly, so that the starting contacts are re-closed in preparation for the start of another cycle. A thermal overload device having contacts 15 is provided with heaters 16, 17, in the starting winding and running winding circuits respectively.

Title: Process for working up ester-alcohol mixtures
IPC: C07C51/09
Filed: 1965-05-15
Abstract: A process for working up a mixture of a C1-C2 alkanol and an ester of the said alkanol and a C1-C3 carboxylic acid comprises reacting the mixture with hydrogen chloride in a reactor at a temperature not exceeding 100 DEG  C., e.g. 50-100 DEG  C., on packing material having a large surface area (e.g. active carbon, silica gel, pumice, aluminium oxide, or organic material, e.g. polyethylene or polypropylene containing a cation exchanger, e.g. of the type disclosed in Specification No. 1,060,801), any excess HCl being drawn off at the base of the reactor, continuously removing the reaction mixture, free from HCl, at the head of the reactor in the form of vapour, separating the vapour into the alkyl chloride corresponding to the alkanol and an aqueous alkanol-carboxylic acid mixture in a first column by the addition of water in the presence of a cation exchanger, passing the mixture to a second column to separate carboxylic acid containing water and alkanol formed by hydrolysis and returning the alkanol which may still contain some ester to the reactor for recycling.  The hydrogen chloride may be added to the reactor in the form of vapour or in the form of an aqueous solution, preferably the former, and some water may also be removed at the base of the reactor along with hydrogen chloride depending on the amount of the latter used.  If the alkanol content of the original ester-alkanol mixture used is low the throughput can be increased by previously hydrolysing the mixture by means of a cation exchanger. In a preferred method the alkyl chloride separated from the mixture in the first column is scrubbed with water suitably at 0 DEG  to 25 DEG  C. in a separate column connected to the first column through a water cooler.  The first column is suitably maintained at a temperature between 50 DEG  and 70 DEG  C.  Two types of apparatus for carrying out the process are described with reference to flow sheet drawings and detailed examples are given for the treatment of methyl acetate-methanol and ethyl acetate-ethanol mixtures with recovery of the methyl and ethyl chloride and aqueous acetic acid formed.
