Title: A device for transporting loads
Inventor: LIVESEY PHILLIP WILLIAM HAROLD
IPC: A01D87/12
Filed: 1986-08-15
Abstract: A device for transporting, for example, round silage bales consists of a pair of spaced parallel supporting arms (17) extending generally horizontally to support the bale in the manner of a forklift truck. The arms are attached to a horizontal beam (16) pivotally supported on a shaft (14) offset from its mid- point, and a locking mechanism (20) with actuating means is releasable to enable free pivotal movement of the beam (16) about the axis of shaft (14) such that one supporting arm (17) may drop to a lower level than the other, thus permitting the bale to be discharged transversely. After discharge, the beam (16) and movable arm (17) return to their original positions under the action of a spring (19). The locking mechanism is released manually to discharge bales and the whole mechanism is reversible to provide for the preference of left or right-hand discharge. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2202131-A (GB)
Title: Slideable mounting
Inventor: ECHTERMEIER KARL HEINRICH
IPC: E03C1/06
Filed: 1987-06-16
Abstract: The improvement is for a slideable mounting, preferably a wall mounting, for a hand-held shower head (10). Previous mountings have the drawback that the adjustment of the hand-held shower head in the provided position is frequently inadequate and has a complicated construction. In comparison therewith, the present mounting comprises a guide (13) containing a spring loaded stopping mechanism, operated by an actuating button 24, for adjusting and holding the guide on the vertical rod 11. For further adjustability of the hand-held shower head (10), it is proposed to connect a holder (15) serving for mounting of the latter, by a ball and socket joint (14) to the guide (13) thus allowing movement of the shower head in two further planes.   <IMAGE>

Title: Location apparatus for a mobile object
Inventor: WEST BARRY GORDON
IPC: G01S5/08
Filed: 1988-12-28
Abstract: In order to locate the position of a mobile object such as a vehicle a receiver 5 measures the Doppler shift in a signal received from at least one transmitter 2, 3, 4 in the vicinity of the vehicle, and the velocity vector of the vehicle is also determined. By comparing the measured Doppler shift with the maximum Doppler shift possible for that particular vehicle speed, a bearing for the or each transmitter relative to the velocity vector of the vehicle is produced. In this way, the position of the vehicle can be identified, and existing radio transmitters may be used for this purpose. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2225418-A (GB)
Title: Locking device for a breech wedge
Inventor: WISSING GERD
IPC: F41A3/10
Filed: 1989-08-22
Abstract: A breech wedge system has the closure movement initiated by the rim of the base of an ammunition casing being fed into the loading chamber of a barrel weapon. As a result of the continuous closure movement immediately performed by the breech wedge, the breech zone is hazardous. 
<??>To eliminate this problem, after the ammunition has been fed into the loading chamber (37) and after a partial closure stroke has been effected a locking device (7), which is integral with the cradle, interrupts the initial closure of the breech wedge (1) until the ammunition tray (28) has been removed from the path of the breech wedge (1). The interrupting means is a manually or automatically operable locking lever (10) which acts on the path of movement (8) of a run-up lover (9) pivotable about the opener shaft (4) and operatively connected with the breech wedge (1) and which restrains the said run-up lever (9) until the loading of the barrel weapon (2) has been completed.

Patent GB-2242803-A (GB)
Title: Microwave alarm sensor
Inventor: EVERARD JEREMY KENNETH ARTHUR
IPC: G01S13/32
Filed: 1990-01-31
Abstract: A microwave alarm sensor modulates the output of an oscillator 1 with a coded signal and mixes the transmitted and received signals. Back reflected signals occuring within one bit time interval of the code are detected and filtered and spatial movement can be detected by measuring the doppler shift frequency. Signals reflected outside one bit time interval produce a low level signal as on average the bit pattern averages to near zero, thus limiting the range of the sensor.   The coded signal may be a single pulse, a pulse train, a pseudo-random code, a Golag code, any noise like code or a noise signal. The modulation may be amplitude, frequency or phase. Bursts of code are transmitted to reduce power. <IMAGE>
