Abstract: 623,916. Seats ; resilient mountings. MONROE AUTO EQUIPMENT CO. May 28, 1947, No. 14215. Convention date, Dec. 11, 1944. [Classes 52 (i) and 52 (ii)] A vehicle seat comprises a seat base 16 to which is secured a back the base 16 being slidable in fore and aft directions on a seat carrying frame 20 consisting of two parallel plates 21 supported from the vehicle floor 12 by means of a spring suspension 11 consisting of variable rate conical springs the plates 21 also being guided vertically by links 42, 43 pivoted thereto and to plates 41 fixed to the floor. In addition springs secured to the back 17 and to the plates 41 tend to limit the upward thrust of the spring suspension 11 a fluid shock absorber 14 being provided to damp the oscillations of the spring suspension 11. The seat base 16 is arranged to move fore and aft on balls 25 arranged in cages 24, Fig. 6, formed by the co-acting rims 22, 23 secured respectively to the plates 21 and the base 16. Pivoted to the seat carrying frame is a U-shaped member the base 28 of which forms a handle which when elevated against the action of springs 34 disengage a notch of a series of notches 31 from a finger 32, 33 carried by the seat-base 16 and so permitting the desired fore and aft movement of the seat, release of the handle 28 causing the seat to be relocked in its adjusted position. in order to counteract side pitching of the seat due to one or other of the side wheels of the vehicle encountering an obstruction the ends of the links 42, 43 are connected to torsion tubes mounted rotatably on rods connecting, at the front, the plates 21 and, at the rear, the plates 41. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 627,452.

Abstract: 415,862. Stays ; clamps. DOLEY, R. C., and DOLEY, A. H., 126, Northwood Street, and OLDS, S., 54, Wellhead Lane, Perry Barr, both in Birmingham. May 17, 1933, No. 14220. [Classes 44 and 65 (i).] In a casement or like stay comprising a rod or tube passing through a sleeve having a gripping member for frictional engagement with the rod, the sleeve has an internally tapered collar at each end and a split or slotted tubular gripping member mounted on the rod inside the sleeve between these collars and having externally-tapered ends to fit inside the collars, one of the collars being adjustable to force the gripping member into both collars to close it round the rod to clamp the latter. In the form shown, the rod 4 is pivoted at one end to the door or like frame and the sleeve 11 is pivotally mounted on a lug 9 on the door. The sleeve has an adjustable collar 14, with hand wheel, secured on one end, and this collar and the other end of the sleeve are internally tapered at 13 to engage correspondingly-shaped ends of a tubular gripping member 18 within the sleeve; by screwing on the collar 14, the split ends 20 of the member 18 are forced into the tapered parts 13 and are thus closed round the rod 4 to hold the door in any position. The member 18 may be split from end to end on one side, or may be formed in two separate halves. The sleeve and rod may be mounted on swivel or ball joints instead of plain pivots.

Title: An improved device for marking lines on roads and the like
IPC: E01C23/20
Filed: 1940-06-28
Abstract: 536,199. Line markers for roads &c. MAJOR, P. C. June 28, 1940, No. 14317. Divided out of 532,767. [Class 132 (ii)] [Also in Group XXVIII] In an apparatus for marking lines on roads and other surfaces, paint is delivered intermittently to a marking brush by step-by-step movements of a pump piston driven from the road wheels and manually withdrawable to replenish the pump cylinder from a supply container. The invention is described in connection with the apparatus described in Specification 532,767 wherein the pump is arranged to discharge the paint on to a brush of roller form and means are included for rotating the brush so as to transfer the paint to the road surface. The pump piston 63 is driven downwards from the road wheels through a pawl and ratchet gear 75, 68 which imparts a rotating movement to a nut 67 engaging the screwed piston rod 64. At each downward movement of the piston paint is ejected on to the brush through a number of orifices which are automatically uncovered by a cap. When the piston approaches the end of the cylinder a cap 92 depresses a number of pins 93 thereby disconnecting the ratchet drive and avoiding damage. The piston may then be returned manually to refill the cylinder by drawing paint from the supply container. Stirrer blades within the supply container are rotated by means of belt and ratchet mechanism, the ratchet mechanism being provided in order to permit of manual rotation of the stirrer blades by means of a foldable handle when the machine is stationary. The outlet from the paint container may be closed by a stop cock or by screwing down an internal valve operated by rotation of a hand wheel.

Title: Improved method of operating the mechanism of loose leaf binders
IPC: B42F13/04
Filed: 1921-05-26
Abstract: 181,591. Rhind, W. A., and Burroughs E. S. May 26, 1921, Flexible-band files; locks. - In a loose-leaf binder of the type in which the clamping-bars are drawn together by tapes or the like wound on a spindle in one of the bars, the spindle being locked in position by a pawl and ratchet-wheel, the ratchet-wheel is loose on the spindle and is permanently engaged by the pawl, but is adapted to be engaged with or disengaged from the spindle by means of clutch mechanism provided with a cam surface and operated by a key, rotation of which in one direction serves to wind up the tapes, and in the other direction, through the engagement of a projection on the key with the cam surfaces, moves the ratchet-wheel longitudinally to disengage the clutch and free the spindle. The winding-spindle 7 is mounted in bearings 8 in the top clamping-bar 1 and is provided with a pin 12 which is engaged by teeth 13 on a sliding sleeve 10. The teeth 13 are normally held in engagement with the pin by a spring acting between the sleeve 10 and the end of the bar 1. The sleeve is preferably formed integral with a ratchet-wheel 9 which is engaged by a spring-pressed pawl 20. The outer end of the sleeve is provided with a helical slot 11 terminating in a longitudinal slot 10<a> to form a passage for a pin 17 on a key 15, which is passed on to the end of the spindle 7 through an opening in the end of the clamping-bar. The spindle is rotated to wind up the tapes when the key is turned in a clockwise direction, the pin 17 engaging the slot 10<a>, through the engagement of the teeth 13 on the sleeve with pin 12. In order to enable the bars to be separated, the key is turned in the opposite direction, when the teeth 13 are drawn out of engagement with the pin 12 through the movement of the pin 17 in the slot 11, axial movement of the key being prevented by the end of the spindle 7 abutting against the base of the key-bore.

Title: Improvement in frequency modulation systems
IPC: H03K7/00
Filed: 1943-12-21
Abstract: 561,331. Frequency modulation. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. (Gottier, T. L.). Dec. 21, 1943, No. 15379/41. A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, June 1, 1942. [Class 40 (v)] A carrier current is modulated in frequency by a saw-tooth or other recurrent wave-form of an intermediate frequency, and the frequencymodulated carrier is broken up into impulses of the intermediate frequency, but dependent for their timing or phase on the signal voltage. As shown in Fig. 1, a frequency modulator 5 is fed by the carrier source 1 and a saw-tooth generator 3, the resulting frequency-modulated waves being fed to the impulse-producing device 7, which is controlled by a saw-tooth wave from the generator 3 and a signal wave S. The device 7 comprises a cascade pair of valves 19, 33, Fig. 2, of which the first is fed with frequency-modulated carrier at 15. The grid is biassed to about anode-current cut-off by a battery B<1>, and this bias is varied by the sawtooth voltage 3 and by the signal voltage S. The valve 19 thus passes carrier during the positive half of the saw-tooth voltage and for periods which vary under the control of the signal S. The saw-tooth and signal voltages are reversed in phase by a valve 40 and are passed to the grid of the valve 33 which has less bias than the valve 19. The negative peaks on the grid of valve 33 are for the most part ineffective, but owing to the smaller bias on that valve, carrier voltages appear on its anode in the form of pulses, the repetition frequency of which is that of the saw-tooth generator, and the phase variable with the signal voltage. As the phase of the pulse varies, the radio frequency content of the pulses varies in frequency. The receiver for the signals may be automatically made insensitive during the intervals between pulses, to improve the signalto-noise ratio.
