Title: Improvements in electromotive driving devices for selectors in remote signalling installations and more particularly for telephone installations
IPC: H01H63/22
Filed: 1931-11-30
Abstract: 385,412. Motors. SIEMENS & HALSKE AKT.-GES., Siemensstadt, Berlin. Nov. 30, 1931, No. 33174. Convention date, Dec. 1, 1930. [Class 35.] Individual electric motors are provided to drive telephone switches, the motors controlling their own circuits and being stopped by the production of steady magnetic fields. As shown in Figs. 4 and 5, the rotor has an auxiliary light armature. The main armature 35 is made of double T- section, is provided with auxiliary poles 38, and is rigidly secured to the spindle 45 to which fibre disc 40 and centring device 49, shown more clearly in Fig. 7, are also fixed. An auxiliary light armature 36 is fixed to bush 46 which is rotatably mounted on the shaft 45 and is coupled to the main armature by the spring 37. Fibre disc 39 is also secured to the bush 46. A suitable circuit arrangement for this motor is indicated in Fig. 6. The disc 40 is arranged to open the contacts 41a, 41b alternately so that when contact u is making its left-hand contact magnets 52, 53, which are arranged at right-angles to each other as indicated in Fig. 3, are energized alternately to produce continuous rotation. To stop the motor contact j1 is closed, energizing the two magnets simultaneously to produce a steady field. If contact u makes its right-hand contact, movement of the armature is controlled by contact j2. Contacts 42a, 42b are opened alternately by disc 49, one pair being open whenever the motor is at rest. When contact j2 is closed either magnet 52 or magnet 53 is energized and the rotor moves through 90‹. Heavy armature 35 moves past the pole faces but light armature 36 stops and armature 35 is drawn back by spring 37 until it is in a central position, determined by cam 49 and spring 50. When the contact j2 is opened the current ceases, 36 is moved forward by 37, and disc 39 opens the appropriate pair of contacts 42 to ensure movement in the correct direction when the next impulse is received.

Title: Improvements in or relating to synthetic textile filaments
Inventor: HARGRAVES LEONARD PERCY
IPC: D01D5/34
Filed: 1963-08-22
Abstract: 1,088,592. Conjugate filaments. LANSIL Ltd. July 22, 1964 [Aug. 22, 1963], No. 33283/63. Heading B5B. Bicomponent synthetic textile filaments are made by feeding to a spinneret two or more different concentric non-turbulently flowing streams of polymer solutions or melts, and extruding the streams in such a manner that adjacent streams are extruded together through holes in the spinneret, thereby producing bicomponent filaments derived from different streams. The holes of the spinneret are expediently disposed in one or more circular rows, the number of rows being (n - 1), where n is the number of flows of solution or melt passing into the spinneret. The arrangement of holes may also be non-circular, e.g. elliptical. The flow of at least one polymer solution or melt may be perpendicular to at least one other polymer solution or melt until the flows are combined. In one embodiment (Fig. 1) a non-turbulent flow of one polymer solution or melt is introduced at B by conduit 2 into a non-turbulent flow of a second polymer solution or melt introduced at A through conduit 1. The combined flow, comprising annular flow 3 surrounding core flow 4 passes through a spinneret having holders 5, 6 and a single circle of holes 7. The composite filament 8 is of side-by-side type. In a further embodiment (Fig. 4) solution or melt A is fed into inlet 11, solution or melt B is fed through inlet 13 into chamber 14 and the two streams, joined concentrically, are fed into chamber 17 through inlet 15. An additional layer of A, fed through inlet 16, forms an outer concentric ring of fluid about the two-ring stream emerging from 15. The multiple component solution passes from pipe 18 to a spinneret 19 having two circles of holes (Fig. 7). The components of the filaments may be of the same polymer but differently coloured, or of the same or different polymers having different chemical and/or physical characteristics. Examples describe the extrusion of two-component and three-component flow systems comprising plain and pigmented cellulose acetate solutions, and plain and pigmented acrylic polymer solutions.

Title: Gas pressure regulators
IPC: F16K17/34
Filed: 1972-07-17
Abstract: 1423827 Valves BOC INTERNATIONAL Ltd 10 Oct 1973 [17 July 1972] 33365/72 Heading F2V A gas pressure regulator, e.g. for reducing the pressure of oxygen from a high pressure cylinder, comprises a pressure-reduction valve 8, Fig. 1, actuated by a damped diaphragm 26 and located in a chamber 6. The latter is defined by the diaphragm, a connector 2 of high tensile material, e.g. stainless steel, and a shell 4, e.g. of stainless steel, welded to the connector. High pressure oxygen entering at 70 or 72 passes via the valve 8 into the chamber 6 where it exerts a closing force on the diaphragm and thereby adjusts the pressure in chamber 6 to a value set by the loading applied by spring 16, the loading being adjustable by screw means 32. The damping of the movement of the diaphragm is provided by a split-sided cupshaped damper 17, e.g. of nylon, which frictionally engages the inner surface of a fixed casing 28. Moreover, movement of the valve 8 is damped by a piece of bent wire 40 which frictionally engages the inner cylindrical surface of a fixed sleeve 11. The valve 8 is of square cross-section. A substantial part of the inner surface of the connector may be screened by a liner 73, e.g. of sintered ceramic material or cupronickel, to reduce exothermic reaction tendencies. Moreover the liner acts as a filter. A safety valve 54 prevents excess pressure developing in chamber 6. Moreover, the diaphragm may have a frangible section which fractures should the safety valve malfunction when excess pressure is present. The chamber 6 is provided with two outlets (68), Fig. 2 (not shown), e.g. for delivery to a pressure gauge and to a point of use.

Title: Improvements in or relating to steering mechanism for motor vehicles
IPC: B62D7/15
Filed: 1938-11-21
Abstract: 523,659. Motor-vehicle steering-gear. BIRMINGHAM SMALL ARMS CO., Ltd., TAIT, J. N. H., and BLAGDEN, W. M. Nov. 21, 1938, No. 33753. [Class 79 (v)] Progressive steering of the front and rear wheels is effected by means of a rocking lever working in conjunction with a fixed guide plate and displaceable bodily by the reverse lever so as to lock the front wheels and steer the rear wheels alone, characterized by means whereby the movement of the reverse lever to the forward gear position causes a resilient load on the rocking lever whereby the latter, when the steering wheels next reach the straight-ahead position, is automatically displaced into a position to effect progressive steering of the front and rear wheels. The invention is shown applied to the construction described in Specification 523,656, in which the floating lever 9 has three pins 6, 7, 8 working in slots 2 ... 5 in a fixed guide plate 1. The lever is actuated from the vehicle steering gear (not shown) through a link 10 connected to the pin 6, and controls the front and rear wheels through links 13, 12 respectively connected to the pins 8, 7. The slots 3, 4 are connected by a gap 50 through which the pin 6 can pass to allow the lever 9 to be moved bodily for the pin to work in either slot, and recesses 20, 21 in the slots 2, 5 are adapted to receive the pins 7, 8 when the lever is in either of its end positions. When the pin 7 is in recess 20, as shown, the rear wheels are locked and the front wheels are steered by the link 13 as the lever 9 rocks, until, when the front wheels are fully steered, the pin 7 moves out of recess 20 and the rear wheels are then steered by further rocking of the lever 9. When the lever 9 is displaced downwards in the Fig. the pin 7 leaves recess 20, the pin 8 enters recess 21, the front wheels are locked and the rear wheels steerable by the lever. This endwise movement of the lever 9 is effected through the gear lever 26 which, when moved to the reverse position, rocks a lever 30 and slides a block 22 to allow the pin 8 to enter recess 21 under the influence of a spring 25 acting on the lever 9. When the gear lever is returned to the forward gear position the lever 30 moves away from a shoulder 31 on the block 22 but does not directly cause the return movement of the block. However, an arm 33 on the lever 30 rocks a lever 34 linked to a lever 40 which tensions a spring 41 acting on the block 22, Thus as soon as the steering wheels are in the straight ahead position and the pin 6 is therefore opposite the gap 50 the spring 41 forces the block back to move the lever 9 bodily again into the position shown for progressive front and rear wheel steering. In a modification, the lever 30 acts directly on the spring 41.

Title: Apparatus for displaying a representation of a three-dimensional field of view
IPC: G01S7/20
Filed: 1961-09-21
Abstract: 992,705. Pulse radar. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. Sept. 21, 1961 [Oct. 11, 1960], No. 33788/61. Heading H4D. A perspective display on a two-dimensional screen of a three-dimensional field of view is obtained by means for deriving a signal representing the propagation time of an electromagnetic beam projected towards a point in the field, means for sweeping the beam across the field in a first co-ordinate, means responsive to the signal for deflecting the beam in a second co-ordinate during each sweep to hold constant the propagation time at one of a discrete set of values, and means for displaying on the screen the relative movements of the beam in the first and second co-ordinates during each sweep. The invention is described as applied to a pulse radar producing the azimuth-elevation display of Fig. 3 in an aircraft, wherein the contours represent e.g. hill outlines and a protuberance on horizon line 60 indicates an obstacle in the flight path. The radar parabolic reflector 7 executes one to-and-fro horizontal sweep every second and 2000 pulses per second are generated by multivibrator 20 and modulate oscillator 22 of the transmitter. Taps 1 ... 19 on delay line 31 are spaced corresponding to successive range intervals of one mile; the last tap corresponds to e.g. 99 miles. Wiper 32 is advanced by a stepping relay 33 in synchronism with the horizontal aerial sweeps by limit switch 35. The line-delayed pulse, after inversion, and the rectified received echo after rectification, are time-phase compared in known device 30 which delivers an output signal of polarity dependent on which pulse occurs first and of magnitude representative of their time difference; this output signal drives vertical scan servomotor 13 to elevate the aerial on " early arrival of an echo pulse (or vice-versa) until the output signal disappears. A cathode-ray tube 40 is utilized for display; horizontal beam deflection follows azimuthal aerial scan and vertical beam deflection follows elevation positioning. To reduce large and sudden elevation change when flying over mountainous areas, comparator 30 output is utilized to modify the speed of motor 10.

The four bit input code is applied in parallel at inputs 11, converted into a five bit parallel code at 12 and converted into a serial train at 14, the input system being controlled by a clock source 16. The serial train is recorded on, e.g. tape, by a head 22 and on read out by means of a head 24 is fed to a peak detector 25. The output of the peak detector is fed to AND gates 27, 32 and to a phase locked oscillator 26. The oscillator output is fed to flip-flop 34 and, via an inverter, to AND gates 31, 33. The outputs of flipflops 36, 37 are connected via gates 41-44 to a flip-flop 45 which in turn is connected to a serialparallel converter 46. The five bit parallel of output of the converter is then converted into the original four bit parallel signal and fed on lines 52 to, e.g., a digital computer. The invention restricts the interval during which no transitions occur thus easing data clocking on readout.
