Title: Improvements in and relating to pneumatic tube conveyor systems
Inventor: BURL JOHN
IPC: B65G51/28
Filed: 1948-08-26
Abstract: 663,868. Pneumatic coin carriers. LAMSON ENGINEERING CO., Ltd. June 29, 1949. [Aug. 26, 1948] No. 22529/48. Class 78 (i). A pneumatic carrier conveyer is provided with an air control device operated by the movement of the door 2 of the despatch terminal, and a movable stop 6 is adapted to project into or be withdrawn from the despatch tube at the said terminal, movement of the stop being effected by the pressure in the air main of the system and. the application of which to effect such movement is controlled by a valve 15 actuated by means 19 responsive to the air flow through the air control connection pipe 1 at the terminal, the arrangement being such that on a reduction of the air flow to a predetermined valve said stop is projected into the despatch tube to prevent the introduction of further carriers. Fig. 1. Pin 6 is normally restrained from projecting into despatch terminus 2 by pressure diaphragm 5 which is sucked back by suction action acting through pipe 14, valve 15 and pipe 12 ; pipe 14 being connected to the suction in the air main, and valve 15 being kept unseated and open by vane 19 which is pivoted at 18 in the air stream of the control tube 1, and has rigid extension 17 which presses upon valve stem 16. When too many carriers have been introduced into the pneumatic conveyer tube 3 the air pressure drops in the air control tube 1 and vane 19 drops and causes valve 15 to close thus shutting off suction pipe 14 and permitting diaphragm 5 to expand and pin 6 to project into despatch terminus 2 so that no more carriers may be introduced.

Title: Improvements in train control apparatus
IPC: B61L3/04
Filed: 1939-08-03
Abstract: 533,080. Track apparatus for stopping trains. AGNEW, W. A., and LONDON PASSENGER TRANSPORT BOARD. Aug. 3, 1939, No. 22599. [Class 105] In a railway signalling system having a track stop TS raised, when the adjacent signal S is at danger, to co-operate with a trip cock TC on the train to effect brake application if the danger signal be overrun, an additional track stop TS 1  is provided in advance of the signal S and also raised when the signal is at danger to co-operate with an additional device TC 1  to effect braking and shorten the distance O 1  which the train travels beyond the signal before coming to rest. Means are provided on the train to render co-operation of the trip device with stop TS 1  ineffective, said means being under control of the driver so that if alert he may apply the brake in normal manner, or under control of a speed-responsive device so that stop TS 1  is effective unless passed at a speed below a pre-determined limit, or under a combined control of driver and speed-responsive device so that the driver cannot render the trip device ineffective unless speed has been reduced to or below pre-determined limit. The stops TS, TS 1  are arranged at opposite sides of the track, devices TC, TC 1  being correspondingly disposed on the train. Fig. 3 shows diagrammatically a suitable trip-cock in which a piloted member 11 is rocked when a depending arm 12 strikes a raised track stop. Arm 12 is slidable in a diametral hole in member 11. formally, it is held depressed as shown by a spring, but can be raised to clear the track stop by an electromagnet with a driver-operated switch 13 and a speedresponsive switch 14 which prevents effective operation of switch 13 unless speed is reduced.
Patent GB-314706-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to suspension means for vehicles
IPC: B60G21/055
Filed: 1928-08-04
Abstract: 314,706. Espinassy de Venel, G. d'. Aug. 4, 1928. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Springs, arrangement of.-In a spring suspension for motor vehicles &c., the two wheels of at least one wheel pair are connected by a deformable or displaceable connection (which may itself be sprung or unsprung) having a differential action adapted to transmit to damping-mechanism the resultant of effects produced by vertical movements of the two wheels, these effects being additive if in the same direction and counteractive if in opposite directions. In the suspension shown in Fig. 1, the wheels 1, 1<1> are each mounted on a support 2, which is connected at its lower end to a transverse spring 3 fixed to the chassis and at its upper end to a lever 6 pivoted at 7 to the corresponding longitudinal 8 of the chassis. The inner arm 9 of each lever 6 is connected by a rod 10 and ball-and-socket joints to a crank 11 keyed to a transverse shaft 12, which is in two sections, each rigidly connected to one of the crown wheels 13 of a differential gear, the planet wheels 14 of which are connected by a rod to the movable element of a damping-device, which may be of the hydraulic, pneumatic, frictional, electric, or other type. Thus if one wheel only rises or falls, the wheel 14 is displaced and the damper actuated, if both wheels simultaneously rise or fall, twice the displacement of the wheel 14 and damper occurs, while if the wheels move equally in opposite directions the damper is not acutated. In a modification, the differential mechanism comprises a centrally-pivoted lever connected to the levers 6 and to the damper through pin-andslot connections. In one construction employing an hydraulic damper, the latter comprises a casing which is connected by an arm to one wheel and is fitted with a fixed internal partition and with rotary vanes, the latter being connected by an arm to the other wheel. In another construction, Fig. 11, the movable vanes 38 of twin hydraulic dampers 36 are connected to the respective wheels, and the chambers between the vanes 38 and the fixed partitions 37 are interconnected by two groups of pipes 39, 40, which communicate by a pipe 41 and adjustable damper valve 42, the latter coming into play on vertical movements of the wheels other than those occurring in opposite directions. Cylinder and piston dampers may alternatively be employed. The form shown in Fig. 12 comprises two friction-disc dampers 43, 44 having the outer member of one damper coupled to the inner member of the other. In other forms of spring suspension, the wheels are mounted on lever arms carried by transverse shafts connected to the differential mechanism controlling the damper.

Abstract: 429,012. Sewing-machines. LEISMANN, J., 55, Hochstrasse, Frankfort-on-Main, Germany. Aug. 14, 1933, No. 22707. [Class 112] A tacking mechanism comprises two tension devices operated from the thread - take - up, means for holding down the presser foot on the fabric until the needlebar reaches its highest point and an adjustable feed device. The discs of the first tension device are separated periodically by a pivoted cam 3 actuated by the take-up d. When the take-up moves upwards it strikes against a cam part 11 and turns the cam to separate the discs. On the return movement of the take-up, it strikes against a cam part 7 and returns the cam. The timing of the cam is varied by adjusting the cam part 11 by means of a screw 9. The second tension device comprises a plunger 18 which is actuated by the take-up through a linkage b, 9, 15, 17. The presser-bar t is depressed by an adjustable-collar needle-bar w which engages an stop v on the presser-bar t. The latter is held down until the needle-bar reaches its highest point by a finger m. The finger is mounted on a swinging rod n and is actuated by a tappet h and cam i. The feed comprises a foot 22 which slides in guides 30. The foot is actuated from the needle-bar x through a cam 35 a driving arm 39, and links 43. When the cam 35 swings in a counter-clockwise direction, Fig. 3, a shoulder 55 engages a catch 38 on the arm 39 and the foot 22 is lifted from the fabric. At a certain point the catch 38 is depressed by a nose 53 on a pivoted plate 40 and connection between the cam 35 and the arm 39 is broken. On the return movement of the cam 35 a shoulder 54 engages a second catch 38 and the foot is given a work feed motion. The movement is limited by a nose 42 on the plate 40 depressing the catch 38.

Filed: 1938-08-02
Abstract: 517,636. Automatic tuning correction. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. Aug. 2, 1938, No. 22872. Convention date, July 31, 1937. [Class 40 (v)] The tuning of a superheterodyne receiver is automatially corrected on the required frequency by means of a two-phase motor energized by control potentials from an error detector circuit. The latter comprises a pair of reversely connected diodes 16, 17, fed from the I.F. amplifier 5 across a series-resonant circuit C, L tuned to the I.F. and connected in series with a limiting resistance 10, L and C being so chosen that their reactances are equal at the operating frequency. The low frequency output is taken from a potentiometer 27 across the series diode load resistances 14, 15, the tune-correcting voltage across point A on 27 and ground being applied to a pair of control valves 70, 71 (Fig. 3). These valves have their output circuits in push-pull, the secondary of the output transformer 73 being connected to one phase 74 of the two-phase tuning motor 75. The grid of valve 71 is earthed and mains voltage from 72 is applied directly to the second phase 76 of motor 75 and also between the centre tap of the primary of 73 and earth. When the voltage between point A and earth is zero, valves 70, 71 are in balance and no voltage is induced in phase 74 ; but when the voltage of A becomes positive or negative with respect to earth, by reason of the frequency impressed on L, C being above or below the true value, valve 70 or 71 will preponderate and the motor will turn in the appropriate sense to restore the tuning to its correct point.
