Abstract: 1,015,181. Valve bags. MASCHINENFABRIK WINDMOLLER & HOLSCHER. Sept. 29, 1961 [Oct. 6, 1960], No. 35354/61. Heading B8K. [Also in Division B5] An insert valve in a multiply paper or like bag comprises two superposed sheets, one of paper, the other of plastics, the plastics sheet protruding inwardly beyond the paper in the bag 10 as to form flexible closure lips. To produce the insert, paper and plastics web 1, 2 respectively are drawn from rolls 24, 26, the web 1 passing round the roll 26 and being fed, slightly offset transversely, by rolls 29, 30 to perforating means 31, 32. Both webs are perforated simultaneously, but in order to offset the perforations longitudinally, one web passes over an adjustable roll 2 so that the plastics line of perforations trails that of the paper (by a distance b, as shown). The webs advance to a folding wheel 46 where elements 45, 59 engage the leading and (on a line 6, as shown) to turn the projecting area of the paper and a strip 7 of the plastics material on to the latter. At the same time, the greater speed of the wheel 46 relative to the web feed causes tearing along the foremost perforations. The web may be checked by a brake 48 during tearing. Elements 60-63 apply adhesive and the insert is laid on the open bottom of the bag with the fold 6 outermost and the portion 12 of the plastics sheet against what will be the inside of the bag. The bottom flaps are then folded in and secured, the flap 19 being folded first.

Abstract: 450,142. Vehicle spring-suspensions. HEYERMANS, C. L., 55, Holland Road, West Kensington, London. Dec. 8, 1934, No. 35356. [Class 108 (ii)] In a suspension device for a vehicle road wheel the wheel mounting is associated with a trailing arm 25 secured to a shaft 10 arranged at right-angles to a torsion shaft 3 and connected thereto by transmitting means such as worm gearing or linkage. As shown, the shaft 3 is hollow and is splined or keyed at its rear end 4 to a collar 12 having a limited rotary movement in a surrounding casing 1, while at its front end 6 the shaft 3 is splined within a sleeve 5 to which is secured a worm wheel or segment 8 coacting with a worm sector 9 secured on the shaft 10. A clutch member 14 is fixed to the sleeve 5 and cooperates with a similar spring-pressed member 16 fixed to a sleeve 15 which is slidable on the shaft 3 but keyed to the casing 1 to prevent rotation. A second torsion bar 19 is splined at its rear end to the shaft 3 and is fixed at its forward end to the casing 1. In operation, relative movements of the road wheel and chassis, due to variations in the vehicle load or to shocks, stress the shaft 3 and bar 19 through the transmitting shaft 10, worm gearing, and sleeve 5, angular displacement of the sleeve being resisted by the helical spring 17 acting on the clutch members 14, 16. In a modification the worm gearing is replaced by a link connected by ball-and-socket joints respectively to an arm fixed on the transmitting shaft and to the torsion shaft or a member associated therewith. According to the Provisional Specification more than two interconnected torsion bars may be mounted side by side and the transmitting mechanism may comprise a pawl and socket, or a helical sleeve and fork device.

Title: Monitoring Apparatus
Inventor: MILLER HARRY
IPC: G08C19/38
Filed: 1967-08-02
Abstract: 1,192,183. Monitoring apparatus, SPERRY RAND CORP. Aug. 2, 1967 [Aug. 9, 1966], No. 35413/67. Heading G1U. A system for monitoring the output of three devices providing three normally identical output signals and three in-line monitoring signals during normal operation has two display channels only, to which the output signals from two of the devices are applied, together with two comparators wherein output signals from the first and second channels are separately compared with the third output signal. Gates respond to the comparator outputs and the in-line monitoring signals to detect and indicate malfunctions. The apparatus is used to monitor the attitude data presented to the pilot and co-pilot of an aircraft from remote vertical gyroscopes, in a system incorporating a third gyroscope for monitoring the other two and also acting as a spare. The first and second gyros 1 and 2 are connected to the attitude indicators 4 and 5 via separate channels, each including a control transformer, amplifier and servo. The output from the third gyro is fed to two control transformers 19, 20 which are controlled respectively by the servos in the first and second channels. If the channels are functioning properly, the control transformers 19, 20 provide null outputs which are detected by sensors 23 and 30 to provide pulse outputs. The output e.g. from 23 is passed to AND gate 26, and if the gyro 1 is providing an in-line monitor signal, the gate provides an output to prevent the warning flag 27 appearing. The flag would warn that the first channel is not functioning correctly. The second channel is monitored similarly. If however no output is obtained from both sensors 23 or 30, it is probable that the standby gyro is at fault. In this circumstance the NAND circuit 25 delivers a pulse to suppress operation of the flags 27 and 33 through the gates 26 and 32 and operate a warning indicator 35, showing that the standby gyro system is faulty. The standby gyro also provides an in-line monitor signal when faulty, which also operates the warning 35. To test the monitoring channels themselves, switches 10, 16 are used to apply bias voltages which should produce predetermined indications in the indicators 4 and 5. Switches 6, 12, 21, 22 are provided to switch out a faulty gyro and bring in the standby if required.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric switches for the control of luminous discharge tube installations
IPC: H05B41/44
Filed: 1931-12-23
Abstract: 394,701. Switching systems. HEALYDAVIDSON CORPORATION, 35, East Wacker Drive, Chicago, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Healy, W. P. ; 710, Grove Street, Waukegan, Illinois, U.S.A.) Dec. 23, 1931, No. 35600. Convention date, Dec. 26, 1930. [Class 38 (iv).] In a switching arrangement for a luminous discharge tube installation such as may be used tor controlling. number of H.T. circuits for different combinations of letters of a neon sign, the circuit connections are varied by the movement of the arc established between one pair of electrodes and transferred between one electrode of said pair and a third electrode, the arc either moving across arc gaps of varying length or being repeatedly established on opposite sides of an electrostatically-oscillated electrode. As shown in Fig. 1, an arc is struck from the secondary of the supply transformer 13 across a relatively narrow gap 8 between electrodes 1 and 6 and rises bridging the successively-increasing gaps between the electrode 6 and electrodes 2, 3, 4, so switching in successively additional letters of the sign. The arc may be blown out at the upper end of the gap between electrodes 4, 6 or may be maintained between these electrodes by bridging gaps 9, 10 between them and an additional electrode 7, the current being maintained in all the letters of the sign during the period in which the portion of the arc at gap 9 rises and lengthens until it is finally extinguished. After this a further arc jumps across the gap 8 and the cycle of operations recommences. If desired the arc switch arrangement may be disposed in a transparent casing 30 mounted adjacent the sign to increase the effectiveness of the display, and the switch casing may also contain fluorescent material for this purpose. The rate of rising of the arc may be controlled by an adjustable damper 29 or may be assisted by the magnetic action of a solenoid wound around the switch casing, Fig. 3 (not shown). In an alternative form, Fig. 4 (not shown), pairs of electrodes may be superposed in staggered formation, the arc rising and passing upwardly between one electrode of one pair and one electrode of the next pair. In a further modification shown in Fig. 2 a pivoted electrode 34 is arranged between a pair of fixed electrodes 35, 36 connected respectively to different circuits to be controlled, the pivoted electrode being oscillated by electrostatic forces, and as the movable electrode approaches one of the fixed electrodes an arc is drawn between it and that electrode. As however the pivoted electrode moves away from this electrode the arc is lengthened and finally extinguished, an arc being subsequently established on the other side of the electrode between it and the other electrode. Thus the controlled circuits are completed alternately. Insulating blocks 46 limit the minimum gap between the electrodes in this arrangement.
