Filed: 1976-02-09
Abstract: 1484831 Heat pipes HUGHES AIRCRAFT CO 9 Feb 1976 [17 March 1975] 04949/76 Heading F4U [Also in Division H1] A thermal mounting plate for electronic circuit cards incorporating heat pipes for cooling comprises (Fig. 1) plural hollow heat pipe cross-bars 1 thermally connected through hollow thermal junction areas 2, 2a to a conventional heat sink; the surfaces 3 of the crossbars carrying flat component packs 4, individual resistors 5 and individual semi-conductor devices 6 bonded thereto. Working fluid is introduced to the heat pipes through fill tube 7. A circuit card 8 is attached, through which leads from the components pass to printed circuits on the other side, and which carries plural electrical edge connectors 10. The cross-bars of the mounting plate are defined by pairs of U-shaped shell members (Fig. 2, not shown) which are brazed together to define an inner vapour space with thin stainless steel evaporator wicks on the inside faces separated by an artery wick of porous sintered metal fibre connecting to a similar condenser wick. An internal working fluid contained in the hollow cross-bars may be liquid ammonia, water, methanol, benzene, or liquid lithium or sodium depending on the temperature range, and the shells of the crossbars may alternatively be of copper with copper evaporator wicks for water as the working fluid. Also the shell may be of beryllium copper, the evaporator and condenser wicks of fine mesh stainless steel gauze; and the artery wicks of metal fibre. In operation (Fig. 3) the heat 30 from the electronic components evaporates the working fluid at the thin wick 24a and the vapour flows through the inner space to the thin condenser wicks 24b where it condenses, releasing heat to the sink. The condensed liquid flows to a thick artery wick 25 and thence by capillary action to the evaporator wick. The upper and lower shell portions may be fabricated by etching out of beryllium copper sheet and soldering the halves together, while the wick may be spot-welded into position.

Abstract: 1,119,178. Break-spinning apparatus. VYZKUMNY USTAV BAVLNARSKY. 7 Feb., 1966 [16 Nov., 1965], No. 5189/66. Heading D1D. In break-spinning apparatus, the surfaces of a separator plate and a plate that closes the spinning chamber, between which is formed a channel for guiding the fibres to a collecting surface of the chamber, diverge in the direction of movement of the fibres to form a channel of diverging section. In Fig. 1, the spinning chamber 1 rotates in a fixed housing 5 and takes the form of two opposed frusto-conical portions providing a collecting- surface 7 where they join. The open end of the chamber is closed by a fixed plate 14 which carries a tube 15 through which the spun yarn is withdrawn, and a housing for a roller 18 which feeds the material to a combing roller 19 from which fibres are fed through a tangential passage 22. The tube 15 carries a separator plate 17 which prevents the fibres being prematurely picked up by the yarn-end. The inner surface of the plate 14 is conical and the plate 17 is also conical, but the conicities differ so that the channel between them into which the passage 22 delivers the fibres to be directed on to the collecting- surface 7, gradually diverges. The outer surface of the separator 17 forms with a plane at right angles to the rotational axis of the chamber, an angle in the range of 5‹-15‹. The tube 15 gradually increases in diameter in the direction in which the yarn travels. Relatively to the yarn in the tube 15, the yarn on the chamber makes an angle in the range of 100‹-70‹, and the yarn leaving the tube makes an angle in the range of 60‹-120‹.

Filed: 1942-04-22
Abstract: 556,650. Hydraulic machines. GARNER MOBILE EQUIPMENT, Ltd., and JAGGER, L. S. April 22, 1942, No. 5407. [Class 69 (ii)] [Also in Groups XXIV and XXXI] Means for simultaneously controlling a plurality of clutches comprises a master hydraulic cylinder 9 associated with slave cylinders 5, 6 mounted adjacent the respective clutches. Each slave cylinder, which may be of the expanding and contracting type, is pivoted at one end on a fixed pin 13 and the other end is mounted, for operating the arm 3 of a clutch, such as by an idler link 14 pivoted to the arm 3 and to the free end of the cylinder. When the cylinder is held in its contracted condition by a tension spring 21 there is a clearance between the portion 16 of the lever 14 and the arm 3. The clearance is made adjustable by use of a screw 17 on the arm. Thus, when a pedal or lever 10 is actuated to generate pressure in the cylinder 9, the slave cylinders 5, 6 are expanded, and the portions 16 engage the screws 17 and the arms 3 are rocked to cause clutch disengagement. Adjustable stops 20 limit the movement of the arms 3. The invention is applicable to motor vehicles employing two or more power units and transmission systems.

Abstract: 394,283. Coin-freed article-delivery apparatus. HARPER, P. S., Adelaide House, Ashurst Walk, and CALDWELL, T. F., 87, Wellesley Road, both in Croydon. Feb. 22, 1933, No. 5411. [Class 27.] In coin-freed vending-apparatus of the kind in which an article is obtainable from any one of a plurality of piles by the actuation of the respective drawer after a coin has been inserted in a common slot, the remaining drawers being automatically locked by the action of a plurality of aligned locking bars 6, 7 in conjunction with the wedge-like action of " splitters " 4, 5 carried beneath the drawers 2, 3. fraudulent actuation is prevented by the provision of one or more auxiliary systems of locking bars 8, 9 between the splitters and the normal locking bars. As in the known arrangement, the series or abutting bars 6, 7 are spring-urged to the right and freed by the insertion of a coin for motion to the left, thus enabling, say, the splitter 4 on the drawer 2 to be brought into contact with the chamfered edge 10 of the bar 6, pressing this bar and those abutting against it to the left as the splitter passes through, and locking the bar 7 and those abutting against it, thus locking all the other drawers. With this arrangement alone it is possible to operate on the locking bars simultaneously with two splitters, and by suitable manipulation to obtain more than one article for one coin insertion. This is prevented by the bars 8, 9, which are identical with the set 6, 7 except that they are not connected with the coin-freed mechanism ; a given splitter can thus at all times be advanced through the series 8, 9 for actuation of the series 6, 7, but the other splitters are prevented by the bars 8, 9 from approaching the bars 6, 7 for fraudulent actuation. Lines of balls or rods or combinations thereof may replace the locking bars.
