Oct. 19, 1931, No. 29055. Convention date, Oct. 18, 1930. [Class 40 (v).] The frequency of a local oscillator 31, 33 in a heterodyne receiver is controlled from a remote point 49. The oscillator is of the multivibrator type and its frequency is adjusted by varying the effective value of a resistance 41. For this purpose a thermionic valve 51 is connected across the resistance and varied in impedance by controlling its grid bias by a variable resistance 57 at the remote point. The first detector of the superheterodyne receiver comprises a pair of push-pull valves 1, 5 with a common input inductance 7, and the incoming signal is applied between an intermediate point on the inductance and a common cathode circuit 29, and the local oscillations are impressed across the inductance through a filter 43 for selecting the desired harmonic. According to a modification, a plurality of resistances are used instead of the valve 51 and are selected by a stepping-magnet controlled by a dial at the remote point, Fig. 2 (not shown).

Abstract: 519,997. Shock absorbers. COLEMAN, S. L. C. Oct. 10, 1938, No. 29308. Convention date, Oct. 8, 1937. [Class 108 (iii)] A combined hydraulic and pneumatic shockabsorber comprises a pair of telescopic tubes 1, 2 located within a casing 58, which is secured to and communicates through ports 89, 90 with the lower end of the inner tube 2, the lower end of the outer tube 1 being fitted with a rubber or like. parking-ring 50 engaging the casing 58, while a ball-cage 41 or like antifriction means is disposed between the tubes 1, 2 and a pump 63 is arranged to return leakage fluid from above the packing-ring 50 to the main body of fluid and thus, at constant load, to maintain a constant level A, A<1> in the inner tube 2. Secured to the lower end of the tube 2 is a cage 20 which carries an auxiliary inner tube 24 having a number of ports 91...96 that co-operate with a piston 25 to form a dash-pot, the piston-road 28 being connected to a header block 3 closing the outer tube 1. A spring-pressed valve 32 having a spindle 33 connected to a disc 34 controls the flow of fluid through the ports 89, 90. The upper end of the tube 1 is fitted with a header 84, between which and the casing 58 a flexible bellows 83 is connected, the interior containing air at atmospheric pressure, while air or gas under pressure. is supplied to interior of the tube 1 and header 84. The pump 63 is mounted on the outer tube, and comprises a piston 64 which, if the oil or like fluid above the packing-ring 50 rises sufficiently to allow oil to enter a chamber 70, drives the same out past a spring-pressed valve 75 into a second chamber 79 and thence, via duct 82 and apertures 54, to the space F. The plunger 64 is actuated each time the tube 1 returns to its normal position, by contact between a washer 66 on the plunger rod with a stop 68 on the casing 58. A ball-joint 5 engaging a socket, at the upper end of the tube connects the shockabsorber to the vehicle, either directly or with the interposition or rubber pads. When a shock is received and the telescopic elements are shortened, the resistance of the dashpot 24 increases as the piston 25 passes successive ports 95, 94 &c., while under heavy shocks the disc 34 is affected, causing the valve 32 to increase the resistance to flow through the ports 89, 90. The antifriction ball-cage 41 is connected to the centre of a spiral spring 43 which surrounds the inner tube 2 and is attached at its ends to the casing 58 and outer tube 1.

Class 79(2) Driving means for rotary auxiliary apparatus or components on road vehicles, comprises in combination, a hydraulic pump driven from a prime mover on the vehicle or on a tractor coupled hereto, and one or more continuously rotatable hydraulic motors direct coupled to the apparatus, piping connecting the delivery outlet of the hydraulic pump to the motor or motors and valve means provided m the pipe for controlling the supply of liquid under pressure from the pump to the motor or motors. In the arrangement shown, as applied to a tanker road vehicle, driven from a forwardly mounted engine through a gear box 9, Fig. 4, a power take-off shaft 10 drives a hydraulic pump 18 through chain and sprocket gearing in a casing 12 fixed to the gear box 9. Tension in the chain is adjusted by means of a ring member 20 mounted on a boss 19 on the pump and having an eccentric spigot 21 which engages a recess 22 in the casing 12. The inlet and outlet of the pump are connected respectively to a reservoir adjacent the pump and to a distributer 29, Fig. 2, at the rear of the vehicle. Pumps 31, 32 and 33 at the rear of the vehicle, connected at their inlets to compartments in the tank and at their outlets to respective air eliminators, meters 41 and pipes 42 and delivery hoses 43, 44 and 45 on reels 34, 35 and 36, are driven by hydraulic motors 49, 50 and 51 respectively each of which is fed from the distributer 29 through a control valve 54. A main control valve is provided in the supply line to the distributer 29. The hose reels are wound up by hydraulic motors 60, 61 and 62 respectively which drive the reels through V-belts and pulleys 56, 57. The motors 60, 61 and 62 are fed from the distributer 29 through control valves 64. The outlets of all motors are connected to a common return pipe 68. A pressure release valve (not shown) is provided between the pump 18 and valve 53. In the application to a tractor and trailer combination, the pump is mounted on the tractor and supplies the hydraulic motors mounted on the trailer through flexible pipe lines provided with self-sealing and quickly detachable couplings. If the trailer is provided with a turntable the pipes are passed through the king- pin of the turn-table. The pump 18 may, in some cases, be driven directly from the take off shaft or directly coupled through a clutch to the engine shaft. Alternatively, the pump 18 may be driven by a separate engine which may also drive an electric generator. The pump may also drive, through hydraulic motors, other apparatus such as winches, generators, power ladders, cranes, booms or compressors. The motor 49 and preferably also, the motors 50 and 51, is connected on its inlet side through a reversing valve 72, by means of which the pump 31 may be driven in the reverse direction.

[Also in Groups XIX and XXIX] In a rain gauge having a container provided with an orifice through which passes a fixed tapered needle and being movable so that for any given rate of rainfall an equilibrium position is reached at which the inflow to the container equals the outflow through the orifice and a pen for recording the rate of rainfall, the container is suspended from a lever in such a way that it moves in a straight line and its weight is counter-balanced by the aid of a weight carried by the lever in a path which increases its restoring movement as the container descends, and the recording pen is directly linked to the lever. In the rain gauge shown, the container 27 is connected at 26 to a tape 25 secured to a cylindrical surface on an arm of a lever 14 concentric with the pivotal axis thereof, this lever having a downwardly depending arm 17 carrying a weight 16 providing a restoring couple as the container 27 descends and a pen 21 movable on a chart 6 moved as by a clockwork mechanism. Container 27 moves in a casing 33 and has an orifice 41 through which passes a tapered needle 41 carried by the casing. Rain flows into the container 27 via a channel (not shown) and apertures in a disc 28 and the container descends until the inflow equals the outflow through the orifice, the position of pen 21 on the chart 6 then indicating the rate of rainfall. An outflow 52 is provided to a chamber 55 containing a float 61 connected at 62 to a pivoted lever 64 geared to arm 71 coaxial with arm 17 and terminating in a pen which also moves over the chart 6 to indicate the total rainfall.
