Title: Improvements in relating to Brake Cylinders.
IPC: F16D65/54
Filed: 1967-08-10
Abstract: 1,167,926. Automatic slack adjustment in fluid pressure brakes. ALFRED TEVES G.m.b.H. 10 Aug., 1967 [6 Oct., 1966], No. 36814/67. Headings F2E and F2F. An automatic lining wear adjuster, in a fluid pressure operated brake actuating cylinder, having pistons 7, 8 (Fig. 1) movable apart to apply the brake by fluid pressure in a working chamber 6, comprises a rod 9, 10 having circumferential grooves for engagement with resilient rings 11, 12. The rings latch by their own resilience into a respective groove. When the pistons have been moved in a brake applying direction a distance corresponding to the normal brake clearance piston surfaces 13, 14 will have just reached the rings 11, 12. If lining wear is sufficient the pistons will continue to move pushing the rings so that they expand over the bumps into the next successive grooves. During the return movement of the pistons a stepped portion or groove in piston plates 4 and 5 (see Fig. 2) encompasses the respective rings preventing them from expanding radially and hence the rings remain in the grooves into which they were pushed and act as a piston stop. Thereby the lining wear has been accommodated. In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 3 (not shown), the rings are biased by their own resilience into circumferential grooves formed in the bore of a stationary sleeve, and as before are free to be moved into succeeding grooves during movement of the piston in the brake applying direction and are prevented in the return direction.

Patent GB-939224-A (GB)
Title: Copy paper
IPC: B41M5/124
Filed: 1959-10-30
Abstract: 939,224. Colour-reactive copying paper. ANCAR A.G. Oct. 30, 1959 [Oct. 10, 1958], No. 36847/59. Class 96. A paper for making copies without the use of carbon paper or the like consists of a paper web containing one component of a chemical colour reaction, on which are applied successively a film that is impermeable to humidity and to the components of the colour reaction, a layer comprising or containing the second component of the colour reaction, and a protective coating that is readily disrupted under the pressure of writing, typing or the like. The web may be provided with the first chemical colour component by adding the component to the pulp from which the paper is made, or by impregnating or covering the paper web with a solution of the component. The impermeable film may be based on a synthetic or natural latex or on a synthetic resin, e.g. a homopolymer or copolymer of styrene, vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate or vinylidene chloride. It may be applied in dry form or in the form of a solution. The layer containing the second component of the reaction may also include an ionizing solvent, e.g. glycol or glycerol, a hygroscopic substance, e.g. calcium chloride or magnesium chloride, or a binding agent, e.g. a cellulose derivative or a natural or synthetic resin or glue. It may be applied as a powder or as a solution and then dried. If the impermeable film is applied in the form of a solution, the layer containing the second colour component can be applied to it before it is dry. The protective coating may be based on a cellulose derivative, e.g. ethylcellulose, or a wax and may be applied as a solution. Colour reactions referred to are those between a nickel salt and dimethylglyoxime, and between ferric ammonium sulphate and tannic acid. In use, two sheets of the invention are superposed so that the protective coating of one contacts the paper surface of the other. When writing or typing takes place, the second colour component from the upper sheet is transferred to the lower sheet and the colour reaction takes place. A mirror-image text can be transmitted to an untreated sheet, which can then be used for duplicating with a sheet impregnated with the other component. In this case the ionizing solvent need not be present in the paper, but can be added during the duplication procedure.

Abstract: 523,023. Sewing-machines. STEVENS, A. H. (American Machine and Foundry Co.). Dec. 22, 1938, No. 37301. [Class 112] A machine for sewing together a cut-topattern longitudinally-folded necktie fabric and a cut-to-pattern unfolded lining comprises means for guiding the fabric into a definite position relative to the lining and to a predetermined line of stitching and means for then gathering the fabric and lining into transverse folds and spitting them on a needle, whereby a thread can be drawn through the folds. In the arrangement shown, the work is corrugated by passage between two meshing toothed wheels 27, 28 and is fed by them on to a needle 42 which is held stationary laterally and longitudinally during the operation but is rotated on its axis to facilitate penetration of the work ; the teeth of the wheels are grooved at 51 to allow the needle to pass between the wheels. Auxiliary feed rollers 60, driven by a gear wheel 79 rigid with the wheel 27, are provided. The wheels 27, 28 are driven by chain gearing from a main shaft 20, the wheel 28 and its gearing being carried on an arm 35 pivoted on the shaft 20 so that the wheels 27 can be lifted for positioning the work ; the lowest position of the wheel 28 is determined by an adjustable stop on the arm 35 engaging the work-plate 76. The needlebar 44 is slidable and rotatable in a block 45 which is pivoted on the frame and is held in the working position by a locking pin, sliding of the needle-bar in the block 45 being normally prevented by a spring catch 47 engaging one of a series of grooves in the needle-bar to determine the working position of the needle; rotation of the needle is effected by a friction wheel 67 on the needle-bar engaging the face of a disc 66 driven from the main shaft 20. When the work is completely spitted on the needle, the catch 47. is released and the needle is slid back clear of the wheels 27, 28 ; the locking pin of the block 45 is then withdrawn, allowing the needle to be swung to the dotted position in Fig. 1 for threading and stitching. In order to guide the tie lining during the operation of the machine, the work-plate 76 carries a pair of slidable guide plates 73 having rollers engaging cam grooves 71 in a drum 70 which is rigid with the wheel 27, the cam grooves being formed according to the shape of the tie lining whereby the guide plates are moved to lie always in contact with the lining. The tie fabric is guided by an adjustable member 78 on a cover plate 76a pivoted to the work-plate 76 at 77; the guide 78 may be replaced by a device which folds the fabric as well as positioning it. The wheels 27, 28 may be replaced by toothed chains running over guide pulleys, providing an increased number of teeth in contact with the work, or the wheel 27 may be replaced by such a chain and the wheel 28 by a cam-operated plunger entering the tooth spaces of the chain.

Abstract: 1,113,420. Counting apparatus. RANK XEROX Ltd. 2 Sept., 1965 [30 Sept., 1964], No. 37591/65. Heading G4D. The cost per unit decreases as the number of units dealt with increases. As applied to a copying machine each of the initial copies result in all of contacts 2LS-11LS sending a pulse to a cost counter 156. When a first predetermined number of copies has been made relay 2CR energizes to cut out pulses from 9LS- 11LS, and so on progressively until 6CR energizes and one unit is registered for each subsequent copy. The change-over relays 2CR-6CR are self-holding after being operated by limit switches 12LS-16LS closed by adjustable cams 166, Fig. 10, on the numerical wheels of a counter, Fig. 1. Dials 10, 12, 14 are set manually to indicate the number of copies required, and through epicyclic gearing 96, 90, 98 position magnets 102 on arms 104 on counter shafts 38 an appropriate amount backwards. When the copy counter wheels 20, 22, 24 attain the preset number the magnets 102 come adjacent reed switches 17LS, 18LS, 19LS which close to energize reset magnet 7CR. Drive to counter. A continuously operating drive motor MOT-1 with a cooling fan 30 drives a shaft 26. As each copy passes through the machine it is detected photo-electrically to close a switch 1LS and when a cam-operated switch 20LS closes briefly, a solenoid SOL-1 energizes. , A pawl 72 is released to permit one revolution of a clutch 58, so advancing the units wheel 20. Cams 78 on the units and tens shafts co-act similarly with pawls 74 to release further one-revolution clutches 58 to effect transfer. Attainment of preset number.

Title: Fluid delivery apparatus
IPC: B67D7/00
Filed: 1973-08-10
Abstract: 1434374 Dispensing liquids FMC CORP 10 Aug 1973 [22 Aug 1972] 37924/73 Heading A4T Apparatus e.g. for delivering petrol and recovering evolved vapour comprises inner and outer boom sections 10, 12 having fluid delivery conduits 18, 22 and vapour recovery conduits 16, 20, and swivel joint means 24-36 connecting and supporting the conduits of respective boom sections 10, 12 to allow the apparatus to be horizontally and vertically positioned. A pneumatic actuator 96 controls vertical movement of a delivery head assembly 14 connected by swivel joints 40, 42 to the outer boom section 12, the actuator 96 being controlled by a manual multi-position valve 120. On inserting a delivery conduit 60 into a tank hatch H, a seat 64 engages and seals against the rim of the hatch, being raised from a collar 56 against springs 74, so that a vapour return conduit 46 is opened to the tank. A valve-member 154, Fig. 8, is also raised, blocking a port 212, so that air-pressure through a line 156, instead of being released through ports 194, 196 and the port 212 builds up and acts through a port 196 and line 141, Fig. 12, to operate a pilot valve of a delivery valve 130. With the pilot valve actuated, the valve 130 opens automatically in response to the pressure of the fluid being dispensed, and remains open as a required quantity is metered into the tank, whereupon the fluid supply is cut-off, the valve 130 closes, and the conduit 60 may be raised. To prevent overflow, a tube 224 opens through an outwardly opening port (220), Fig. 6 (not shown), in the collar 56, the tube 224 leading through passages 232, 236, 238, a diaphragm valve chamber 162b and a line 242 into a region immediately downstream of the valve 130. Flow through valve 130 causes a suction effect through the line 242 and tube 224, and in the event of the tube 224 becoming immersed in fluid in the tank, the suction acts on a diaphragm 164, displacing it against a spring 180 and shifting a valve-member 166. A portion 168a of the member 166 thus blocks communication between the line 156 and port 196, and a port 198 is vented to atmosphere, so that the pressure acting on the pilot valve through the line 141 is vented, causing the delivery valve 130 to be closed. A locking lever 250 has an aperture 260, Fig. 12, which engages a portion 170 of the valve-member 166 during delivery, shifting of the member 166 on termination of delivery causing the lever 250 to drop on to a portion 168, so that delivery cannot be recommenced until the lever 250 has been reset manually.

Abstract: 908,529. Echo sounders. ATLAS-WERKE A.G. Nov. 4, 1960 [Nov. 4, 1959], No. 38074/60. Class 40 (7). A dredging device adapted to be swung towards the bed of a river or sea carries an echo sounder transducer. Soundings thereby avoid propagation through water disturbed by the operation of the dredger. In the embodiment, transducer 8 is suspended from a pulley near the end of suction-pipe 4 and has a radiation pattern which is broad in the direction of dredger movement and narrow transversely thereto. The depth to which the pipe is lowered is measured by potentiometer 14 and the transmitting contact of the echo sounder is adjusted correspondingly by servomotor 27 such that transmission does not occur until the recording stylus on rotating band 23 passes the depth line corresponding to the transducer depth. Cable 28 carries a marker 31 to indicate the position of the suction pipe head, there being connected to the marker an insulating strip over which the recording stylus slides so as to form indicated gap 33. To allow for dredgers of varying draught, vertical displacement of the recording paper or additional adjustment of transmitter contact 25 with respect to zero line 26 may be effected manually or automatically. Recording of soundings in the vicinity of the bed may be made on an enlarged scale.
