Title: Improvements in engine starter controlling mechanism
Filed: 1933-02-25
Abstract: 417,253. Starting prime movers. ECLIPSE MACHINE CO., Elmira, New York, U.S.A. Feb. 25, 1933, No. 5781. Convention date, Feb. 27, 1932. [Class 38 (iv).] In an engine starter, the initial operation of the starting motor is prevented when the engine is connected to a load by the transmission mechanism but subsequent operation, automatically upon stalling of the engine, is not prevented. As shown, the starter switch 5 is closed by a solenoid 8 in a control circuit including a manual control switch 9, which may be the ignition switch. Upon commencement of normal running of the engine, contacts 15 in the control circuit are opened, but are closed again if the engine should stall, as described in Specification 395,122. If the transmission mechanism is in gear when the engine is not running, the control circuit is broken by a switch 18 actuated from a bifurcated member 19 engaged by the slidable gear shift rods 23, 24. A lever 30 journalled at 27 is slidably and pivotally connected at 29, 31 to the member 19 and to a switch operating arm 28, so that tilting of the member 19 by shifting of either of the rods 23, 24 will open the switch 18. While the engine is running, however, the control circuit is closed by a movable switch contact 39 on a lever 41 engaged by an element 43 on the rod of a piston 46 actuated by engine suction, so that the engine is automatically re-started in case of stalling. The piston 46 is lifted by a spring 48 when the engine is stopped by opening the switch 9, after a time lag determined by an adjustable air-escape port 52. In a modification, the control circuit can be closed by the switch 9 when the engine is disconnected from its load, through a switch contact actuated from the gear shift lever ; a solenoid switch in the control circuit then remains closed until the engine is stopped by opening the switch 9.

IPC: B60R16/02
Filed: 1960-02-19
Abstract: 902,265. Supply systems depending on variable voltage generators. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Jan. 27, 1961 [Feb. 19, 1960], No. 6005/60. Class 38 (4). A generator GE for use in vehicle lighting and ignition systems and preferably of the A.C. output, permanent magnet type, comprises a high voltage output winding W1, supplying a head-lamp HL, and a low-voltage winding W2 which supplies an ignition circuit IGN, a battery BA and a low-voltage lighting circuit LW through a bridge rectifier RE. Winding W1 supplies one of two filaments FA1, FA2 selected by a switch SW. A resistor RS1 in parallel with the lamp filaments prevents overloading of the lighting circuit due to the rise in output voltage with increased generator speed, by dissipating an increasing amount of current which flows through it due to a rise in the lamp filament resistance with an increase in temperature. Additional control means may be provided if necessary. Low-voltage winding W2 feeds a bridge rectifier RE, the D.C. output of which supplies a battery BA through switch SW1 and an energizing coil RW of an electromagnetic relay. Contacts CO of the relay short a resistor PRS of a resistor combination RS2, PRS, shunt-connected across the winding W2 so as to divert part of its output current when a predetermined current flowing through the energizing coil RW has been reached, which might damage the battery. The contacts CO controlled by coil RW may be replaced by an electronic switching device, possibly of the semiconductor type, responsive to a predetermined voltage. In order that a high output may be obtained from the generator its field magnets may be formed from alloys containing aluminium and cobalt.

Title: Improvements relating to protective helmets
Inventor: FISHER JOSEPH ROBERT
IPC: A42B3/14
Filed: 1957-02-22
Abstract: 805,059. Protective helmets. MINE SAFETY APPLIANCES CO. Feb. 22, 1957, No. 6010/57. Class 63 A protective helmet with a rigid shell has a harness or cradle at least one portion of which is formed from an unstretched long-chain crystalline polymer having at least some of its crystals randomly disposed. Such polymers, e.g. certain polyamides &c., vinyl compounds such as polyvinylidene chloride, have the properties that the elastic limit of the material is exceeded almost as soon as it starts to stretch, that such stretching is permanent and that its tensile strength incheases after the elastic limit is reached. Thus under a force of an impact against the shell of the helmet, the cradle portion is permanently stretched as it approaches the top of the shell, thus absorbing the energy of the impact force during such stretching. In one form, the non-elastic straps 3, Fig. 1, are made from such a polymer and are secured in slots 8 in a leather ring 9. In another form, the non-elastic straps 3 are combined with ordinary cradle straps 11, Fig. 3 (not shown), made from elastic webbing. In other modifications, conventional cradle straps 13, Fig. 4, of cotton webbing are looped through slots 14 in a leather ring 15, the loops being connected by a cord 16 of the non-elastic polymer. Under impact, stretching of the cord 16 is stopped before the shell strikes the head, by means of the leather ring 15. Alternatively, conventional straps 20, Fig. 6 (not shown), may be joined to a cross-piece 22 made of the non-elastic polymer. In another form, conventional cradle straps 24, Fig. 8, are connected at their lower ends to a flexible strip 26 of the non-elastic polymer to which the sweat-band 27 is connected by rivets 28. A rigid tongue 30 secured to the shell 25 passes through an opening in the strip 26 and, in co-operation with a cross bar 31 secured to the strip, retains the strip 26 in position.
