Patent GB-2075333-A (GB)
Title: Locking seat belt arrangements
IPC: B60R22/42
Filed: 1980-07-23
Abstract: A seat belt gripping apparatus 100 positioned between a vehicle seat belt retractor 104 and an occupant of the vehicle prevents protraction of the seat belt from the retractor occurring as a result of the occupant mass loading the seat belt and radially compressing the portions of the seat belt on the retractor after the retractor has been locked against rotation in response to a sudden change in the acceleration of the occupant and/or a sudden change in the inertia of the vehicle. The gripping apparatus includes a deflectable seat belt guide channel (122) receiving a portion of the seat belt (102). The guide channel (122) is resiliently mounted (116, 118, 120) to the vehicle (114) to allow the seat belt (102) to flow freely through the channel (122) until the loading occurs, whereupon the guide channel (122) is deflected into frictional engagement with the seat belt (102). A gripping bar (126) mounted within the guide channel (122) crimps the seat belt (102) against the guide channel (122) as long as the seat belt is under the tension of the mass of the occupant. After the tensioning has terminated, the guide channel (122) and gripping bar (126) return to an orientation again allowing the free flow of the seat belt (102) through the apparatus. By preventing webbing protraction between the retractor (104) and itself, the gripping apparatus allows nonstructural or low load-capacity retractors to be used in the vehicle. <IMAGE>

Title: Weight measuring element
IPC: G01G19/04
Filed: 1980-08-06
Abstract: A weight measuring element consists of two deformable end portions 2 and 3, with axial bores 8 therethrough connected by upper resilient joints 6 to an upper beam 1 provided with a load-receiving surface F. The element has vertical slots 10 lying at right angles to its longitudinal axis which open into horizontal slots 11 separating beam 1 from lower anchor tie beam 4 but for optional connecting web 5. Measuring gauges DMS measure the distortion of the end portions 2 and 3 so that a load on surface F can be determined independently of its longitudinal or lateral point of application on surface F. The element may be employed in the rail track of a rail track vehicle to measure the wheel pressure of such a vehicle. <IMAGE>

The articulated joint is made as a flexible shaft 6, the ratio of the length  l of the shaft to the diameter d of the circumscribed circle of its cross-section being substantially within the range from 10:1 to 60:1. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2067846-A (GB)
Title: Variable electrical resistance device
IPC: H01C1/01
Filed: 1980-11-14
Abstract: A rotary variable electrical resistance device comprises a housing (21); a spindle (22), arranged for rotation in the housing to adjust the setting of the device, and arranged to be rigidly secured to the end of a rotatably supported shaft serving as an extension of the spindle or whose angular rotation is to be monitored by the device and such that the shaft effectively supports the resistance device. The housing (21) is restrained from rotation by a member such as a pin (27) on a disc (23) secured to a fixed support (24) by a ring shaped member (25) and engaging an opening or recess (28) in a flange (29) secured to the housing by a nut (30). Clearance (31) between the members (25) and (29) allows the device to be displaced to follow displacement of the shaft resulting from play in bearings supporting the shaft or misalignment or bending of the shaft and obviates the necessity for the expensive and bulky flexible couplings of the prior art. A number of such restraint arrangements for the housing are described. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2077012-A (GB)
Title: Printing apparatus
IPC: G06K15/10
Filed: 1981-05-20
Abstract: A matrix print head including at least one column of printing elements, is moved along a print line by a drive incorporating a timing pulse generator producing N pulses between one (column) print position and the next. To compensate for positional errors, resulting from the finite time taken for a printing element to be actuated and from backlash in the drive and its coupling to the generator, the timing pulses are applied through a cyclic counter 5 to produce a repeated series of values 1 to N for application to a comparator 6 for comparison with a register 8. A pulse at equality is used to strobe the print element selection operation so that the actual printing position of the wires may be accurately controlled by the choice of the value in the register. This value is changed according to the direction in which the print head is moving. If more than one column of printing elements are provided, duplicate registers and comparators 13, 12 may be provided. The strobe output may also be applied to a cyclic counter 10 to indicate, by dividing by the number of "printing element" columns in a character space, the character printing positions within the line. <IMAGE>

Title: Thermal insulation
IPC: C03B23/24
