Title: Animal traps
IPC: A01M23/04
Filed: 1978-07-28
Abstract: An animal trap comprises a housing divided into two chambers by a plate 13, that is a upper bait chamber 11, and a lower trap chamber 12, a platform 2 pivotably mounted at 21 to close an aperture in the plate through which a trapped animal will pass to the lower chamber, a trap door 3 pivotally mounted near the inlet 14 to the trap and moved by the platform 2 to close the inlet 14 to the trap when an animal steps on the platform and pivots it downwardly allowing passage to the lower chamber. When the animal moves off the platform 2 it returns to its original position, the set condition of the trap. The trap door 3 closing the inlet to the trap returns to its original position by the movement of the platform, or, by operation of a reset pedal 41 when the animal applies pressure thereto, movement of the reset pedal effecting release of the trap door 3 from retaining means 4 so that the trap is automatically reset. A cage 5 is spaced from the housing by a passageway 51. <IMAGE>

Title: Clamping Telescoped Tubes Together
IPC: B62K21/18
Filed: 1978-10-03
Abstract: An arrangement for releasably clamping together two telescoped tubes (11, 12) e.g. a bicycle steering column has an axially displaceable cone (18) within the inner tube (11), the outer surface (19) of the cone (18) bearing against wedges (21 to 23) in closed-ended guide slots formed in the inner tube and clamping being achieved by a threaded spindle (15).

Title: Monitoring temperature and flow of a fluid
IPC: G01P5/10
Filed: 1978-11-11
Abstract: A fluid flow monitor comprises a bridge circuit having first and second temperature detectors 10, 11, comprising two transistors Q1 and Q2, both the temperature detectors are subjected to the same ambient temperature, and at least the first temperature detector, provided by the transistor Q1, is subjected to the fluid flow required to be monitored, a change in the fluid flow, comprising a change in the flow rate, and/or a change in the temperature, of the fluid, causing a change in the temperature detected by the first temperature detector. This causes the bridge circuit to provide a signal to a differentiating stage 15, and in response, a corresponding signal if above a threshold determined by comparison in a comparator A3 is supplied to the output of the monitor and to an LED 18, the manner of operation of the second temperature detector, provided by the transistor Q2, being such that it is at least slower in detecting significant changes in the fluid flow than the first temperature detector. In operation the bridge is rebalanced by a feedback path to the first temperature detector Q1 via a resistor R11. Should the temperature change represented by the signal in the feedback path be above a threshold determined by comparison in a comparator A4 a signal is also supplied to the output of the monitor and LED 18. <IMAGE>

The stop lever (27) is held in its operating position illustrated by a tension spring (28), Fig. 2 (not shown), so that the governor can operate normally via the governor sleeve (3) and via a guide lever (15) and a two-part intermediate lever (17) by compression of an idling spring (9) in the idling speed range and stretching of a maximum speed governing spring (11) in the maximum speed range as set by an accelerator pedal (22). The tension spring (28) acts as a toggle and is disposed so that the stop lever (27) is held both in the engine running position as shown and in the stop position in which the lever portion 27a engages a pin 25. For this purpose, the force of the toggle spring (28) is greater than the force of an auxiliary spring (24) between the parts (170 and 175) of the two- part lever (17), which parts separate to prevent damage to the governor linkage if the accelerator is operated with the lever in the stop position. <IMAGE>
