Title: Improvements in and relating to door furniture
Inventor: ADIE GEORGE MOUNTFORD
IPC: E05B15/02
Filed: 1944-05-12
Abstract: 643,004. Locks. LACRINOID PRODUCTS, Ltd. May 12, 1944, No. 9103. [Class 44] Surface or escutcheon plates are secured to the door at one point by means of a screw and nut or sleeve and bolt device, one element of which is prevented from rotating in relation to the casing of the lock or latch mechanism without imposing a damaging stress on the casing. For example, a screw bolt'passes through the plate 3, Fig. 1, and engages a sleeve or nut 4 which extends through the casing 8 and is provided with a flange 6 which bears on the material of the door 7. The sleeve may be of square or other non- circular cross-section, and pass through corresponding apertures in the casing so as to prevent rotation, and the side wall of the casing may be dished at 9 to accommodate the flange 6. Two plates 11, 13, Fig. 2, may be secured by a bolt 10 and a tubular sleeve with a head 12, the latter element being non-rotatable in the casing 14 or passing through a clearance aperture therein. In a modification, the escutcheon plates are lined with metal, and the sleeve element is formed with the part next to the head of square cross-section to engage a corresponding aperture in the escutcheon plate. The escutcheon plates in any of the embodiments may be formed with pins or the like to engage the material of the door, or with studs 24, Fig. 4. which pass through the door material and engage in apertures in the lock casing.

Abstract: 1,180,101. Gramophone side thrust compensators. ELECTROACUSTIC G.m.b.H. 27 Feb., 1967 [26 Feb., 1966], No. 9206/67. Heading G5R. A gramophone comprises a pick-up arm 3 (Fig. 1) of sufficient length L to project over the turntable centre 12 and angled # so that two positions A, B are obtained where the tracking error is zero, and a kinematic side thrust compensating device having a minimum counteracting moment arranged to lie between the said two positions. A number of devices are described, incorporating cams, springs, cords and linkages, and which may be adjustable in accordance with stylus pressure. For example, in Fig. 2, a lever 16 fixed to the pick-up arm pivot pin 2 is engaged by a cam 18 pivoted to the deck at 21 and biased by springs 19, 19a whose anchorages may be adjustable. In Fig. 5, a knob 38 is set over a scale 35 to stress a spring 41 urging a cam lever 34 against a roller 32 carried by an arm 31 on the pivot pin 2a. This device may be modified (Fig. 9, not shown) by cranking the pin 37a to provide an almost constant moment toward the end of the record to actuate stop or change mechanism (not detailed). In simplified devices, a pin fixed on a lever attached to the pivot pin bears against an arcuate spring attached to the gramophone base (Fig. 14, not shown) or against a rigid cam resiliently mounted on the base (Figs. 15 and 16, not shown). Further devices consist of spring-stretched cords wrapping about a cam surface or surfaces on a bush attached to the pivot pin (Figs. 17 and 18, not shown).

Abstract: 1,057,792. Fuel assemblies. ALFA-LAVAL A.B. March 4, 1965 [March 4, 1964], No. 9337/65. Heading G6C. A fuel assembly comprises separate fuel elements built up with supporting members to form an elongate fuel body with spacing between the elements which extends from end to end of the fuel body, there being a main coolant channel extending longitudinally of the body and communicating with the interspaces therein. The fuel body interspaces communicate on the opposite side of the fuel body with the surroundings; the main coolant channel and surroundings are in coolant flow communication with the fuel body interspaces along the entire length of the body, and coolant flow guide means are provided to cause flow in a direction which is inclined to the fuel body longitudinal axis; the ratio of the magnitudes of the components of this flow remains substantially constant along the length of the fuel body. In Fig. 1, a perforated outer tube 4 extends between fuel end supports 1, 2, and contains two concentric circles of fuel rods 6 arranged concentrically about a concentric parabolic filling body 14 supported by end support 1 in a position concentric to the tube 4. Coolant enters at 12 and flows in an axially inclined direction through the fuel interspaces and out through perforations 3 in the tube 4. In further embodiments the apertures in the tube 4 are replaced by circumferential slots which extend round the tube. The outer tube may be formed by a series of frusto-conical portions interconnected by tie bars and the frusto-conical sections may have two different cone angles, with their small diameter ends partially entered in the large diameter end of the adjacent section, thereby forming a series of annular outlet nozzles. A modified filling member 14 is hollow and is perforated; coolant enters the fuel assembly by way of the interior of the filling member, and leaves as in Fig. 1. The filling body 14 may be replaced by an axial column of partially nested frusto-conical guide sections. In one embodiment, the fuel rods are replaced by spheres spaced apart between perforated tubes.

Abstract: 214,632. British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Thompson, L. W., and McNairy, J. W.). April 17, 1923, [Convention date]. Venturi and Pitot-tube apparatus; flow meters, pressure-actuated.-In flow meters of the type in which a pressure difference created by a Venturi tube, Pitot-tube or other device acts on a U-tube pressure gauge, the liquid in the gauge is utilized as a short-circuited secondary winding of a transformer, the primary winding of which is connected in a circuit containing a measuring instrument. The pressure gauge comprises a well 11, Fig. 2, to which the leading pressure pipe 44 is connected, and a concentric tube 14 connected to the trailing pressure pipe 45, grooves 18, Fig. 1, in a block 16 connecting the well and tube. The tube 14 contains a vertically adjustable transformer core 22 having a single primary winding 23 enclosed in insulating material 24, and alternating current is supplied preferably through a stepdown transformer 53, the circuit including ammeters 55, 56 and a watt-hour meter 54. The watt consumption is made proportional to the square root of the indicating liquid deflection by a variable resistance 57, by choosing a suitable flux density for the transformer core, and by suitably shaping the chamber S between the primary winding and the wall of the tube 14. Minimum consumption of current takes place when the indicating liquid is at the level representing zero flow of fluid, and the ammeters 55, 56 are so calibrated that under this condition they indicate zero. In order to prevent the watt-hour meter from rotating under this condition, its current coil 61, Fig. 6, includes an opposing winding 62, the current through which is adjusted by a rheostat 63.
