Patent GB-2454142-A (GB)
Title: Driveshaft
Inventor: RUEEGG CHRISTOPH F
IPC: F16C3/02
Filed: 2007-08-21
Abstract: A driveshaft, which absorbs collision energy, for motor vehicles is composed of a cylindrical hollow shaft (10) composed of fiber-reinforced plastic and a force introduction connection (20) composed of metal, which force introduction connection comprises a connection flange (22) and a cylindrical tube (21) whose free end is provided with an axially parallel peripheral toothing (13) and is pressed into that end of the hollow shaft (10) which is provided with an outer support (11). The peripheral toothing cuts into the inner wall of the hollow shaft and thereby connects the tube and the hollow shaft to one another in a rotationally fixed manner. The tube (21) projects out of the hollow shaft (10) by a length (S) and, in the event of a collision of the motor vehicle, is pushed axially into the hollow shaft by up to said length so as to partially absorb the collision energy. An additional reinforcement (30) is arranged on the hollow shaft (10) axially adjacent to the support (10), which additional reinforcement (30) extends in the axial direction substantially over a length which corresponds to the maximum movement travel of the tube (21) into the hollow shaft. By means of suitable dimensioning and distribution of the strength of said additional reinforcement (30), it is obtained that the resistance force which counteracts the movement of the tube does not fall below the desired value, for example 60 kN, over the entire movement travel. The driveshaft is characterized by a high energy absorption capacity and is at the same time relatively very simple and cost-effective to produce.

Title: Improvements in automatic stopping devices for electric lifts
IPC: B66B1/50
Filed: 1925-04-17
Abstract: 248,588. Smith, Major, & Stevens, Ltd., and Stcvens, P. H. April 17, 1925. Cage lifts.-In lifts which are stopped at any floor by the attendant by the projection of a roller mounted on the lift into position to engage a ramp mounted in the well adjacent to the floor, the roller 6 is mounted on a lever 5 pivoted at 7 to an adjustable member 8 controlled by the attendant and the movable part 3 of the switch 2 controlling the hoisting mechanism is mounted on a slidable rod 4 which is pivotally connected to the lever 5. A rod 13 pivoted to the lever 5 is acted on by a spring 15 in such manner as to tend to keep the switch closed. The member 8 is pivoted to one arm 9 of a two-armed lever pivoted at 10 on the base plate 1. The other arm 11 of the lever is connected to the core 12 of a solenoid 12<a>. When the attendant closes a switch, the solenoid is energized and the consequent movement of the lever 9, 11 causes the projection of the roller 6 into position to engage the ramp 16 Fig. 2. As the roller mounts the ramp 16, the switch 2 is opened, Fig. 3, and the lift stops. When the attendant again energizes the solenoid 12<a>, the spring 15 effects the closure of the switch 2, and the lift starts. Alternatively, a pedal could be connected with the arm 11 to rock the lever 5, or to close, a switch and energize the coil 12a.

Title: Data storage matrix
IPC: G11C11/22
Filed: 1960-03-22
Abstract: 873,897. Ferro-electric data storage apparatus. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. March 22, 1960 [March 27, 1959], No. 10091/60. Class 40 (9). [Also in Group XXXVI] In a ferro-electric data-storage matrix, a storage element is switched from one stable state to the other by applying a write current pulse to a selected column conductor at the same time as light impulses are applied to two photo-conductive cells respectively connected to the selected column and row. This arrangement is stated to provide complete segregation of selected and unselected storage elements. As shown in Fig. 2, a barium titanate storage element 24 is switched from an initial stable state by a write current 54 pulse applied to terminals 53 at the same time as photoconductive cells 37, 52 in a selected column and row are illuminated to reduce their electrical resistance. The information stored in a row is read by applying a reading current pulse 42 of opposite polarity to terminal 41. Simultaneously a photo-conductive cell 39 in the selected row is illuminated, and the row of ferro-electric storage elements switched as the result of completed paths produce output pulses which illuminate electroluminescent elements 50. These in turn may control further photoconductive cells in other circuits. A modified circuit comprising ferro-electric storage elements 65, Fig. 3, photo-conductive cells 81, 87 and electroluminescent elements 85 has positive read and negative write pulses applied to the same terminal 90, the photo-conductive cells 87 being illuminated column for both reading and writing, while a cell 81 is selectively illuminated for writing. Separate barium titanate storage elements may be used, or the matrix may alternatively comprise a ferro-electric slab having parallel electrodes arranged transversely on opposite faces, Fig. 4 (not shown). The matrix so formed may also include photo-conductive cells in strip form which are located between the ferro-electric slab 95 and transparent electrodes 98, common connections to the cells being effected by a conductor 99. The electrodes 96, 98 and the cells 97 may be formed by vacuum vapour or chemical deposition. It is stated that to facilitate scanning by a light beam, the ferroelectric slab 95 may be formed as a hollow cylinder with the photo-conductive cells on the interior wall. The light source is then located at the axis of the cylinder with sequential illumination controlled by a rotating apertured mask. The photo-conductive cells and electroluminescent elements may respectively utilize cadmium sulphide and zinc sulphide copperhalide-actuated type of phosphor.

The pillar 1 is surmounted by a hood 10 having apertures 11 or reflecting surfaces 18, 19 for sound emitted from a loud-speaker unit 17 in the head. Telephone equipment is contained within the body of the pillar in such a position that it does not interfere with free access to or movement of a lift normally disposed in the base of the pillar, the roof of the lift serving as a floor to the pillar when the lift is in the depressed position. The lift contains first-aid equipment 15, 16, access to which can be obtained through sliding doors 14 and 5 provided in the lift and pillar respectively. The lift is actuated by a motor 13, the switches for which are disposed in the base or adjacent to the telephone. A clock and a lamp may also be contained in the hood.

[Class 38 (ii)] In order to achieve a great rate of heat dissipation from a transformer core due to losses, the winding is made to comprise at least two zones through which each conductor passes, but in the zone lying within the core window the conductors are of reduced cross-section and are tightly packed together whereas in the other zone the conductors are not of reduced cross-section and are loosely packed. Fig. 2 shows a turn 16 stamped to the required dimension having a reduced cross-sectional area in the winding zone lying within the window of the core 12. A cut F or F<SP>1</SP> is made and the edges are soldered to the adjacent turns to form the winding. Fig. 1 shows the winding zone 14 lying within, the core window with the conductors of reduced section and tightly packed together, whereas, on the other zone 15 the turns are of normal width and are loosely packed. In smaller transformers in order to avoid the large number of joints between the turns, a long undulating strip is stamped out with parts having the desired sectional area and it is finally folded along the chain lines 19, Fig. 3 (not shown), to form a finished winding.
