Abstract: 1517552 Polymeric diphosphine derivatives and metal complexes thereof SOCIETE NATIONALE DES PETROLES D'AQUITAINE 7 July 1975 [5 July 1974] 28510/75 Heading C3P Polymeric diphosphine co-ordination compounds are obtained by reacting a solution of an alkali alcoholate of a diphosphine with a suspension of a halogenated polymer. The alcoholate may be formed in situ and not isolated. In examples, potassium diphenyl phosphine is reacted with epichlorohydrin to form an alcoholate, which is then reacted with chloromethylated polystyrene or styrene/divinyl benzene copolymer or with chloromethylated polystyrene which has been pre-treated with potassium iodide to effect halogen interchange. The above products may be complexed with transition metals, and in examples they are reacted with cobalt chloride, nickel chloride, bis-(benzonitrile)palladium chloride, dichlorotetracarbonyl dirhodium, dicobalt octacarbonyl and nickel tetracarbonyl. The complexes are useful catalysts.

Abstract: 1392347 Valves COMPAGNIE INDUSTRIELLE DES TELECOMMUNICATIONS CIT-ALCATEL 19 June 1972 [18 June 1971] 28549/72 Heading F2V The closure member 11 of a gas valve carries an annular seal ring 27 on one face thereof and an upstanding lug 25 on the other face thereof, the lug 25 being traversed by a spindle 26. One end of a rod 34 is coupled to the spindle 26 whilst its other end is coupled by way of a spindle 35 to a carriage 6 which is provided with four wheels 7-10. and which is movable by a piston and cylinder arrangement 13, 14, 15. Coupled to the spindle 26 are two further levers, the first of which, 36, is straight and has a roller 37 at its free end for engagement with an abutment 31 and the second of which, 38, is cranked and has a first roller 41 adapted to be selectively engaged with an abutment 30 and a second roller 40 adapted constantly to engage a cam 42 carried by the carriage 6. Springs 24 and 43 extend between the carriage 6 and the valve member 11, and between the carriage 6 and the cranked lever 38, respectively. In use of the valve, the engagement of rollers 41, 37 and 40 with, respectively, abutment 30, abutment 31 and cam 42, together with the nature and interengagement of the various links 34, 36, 38 and associated springs, serves to raise the valve member off its seat prior to the valve member being displaced laterally relative to the seat, and the converse occurs on closing the valve. The open and closed states of the valve are indicated by the operation of actuators 21 and 22, whilst a magnetic switch 23 controls the operation of an electrically operated highflow valve coupled to the cylinder 13, the actuators 21 and 22 and the switch 23 being actuated by carriage wheels. The switch 23 is operative to actuate the supply to cylinder 13 such that the valve carriage moves rapidly toward its closed position and, proximate the valve closed position, is slowed down,

Abstract: 1,210,887. Bending and tempering glass sheets. LIBBEY - OWENS - FORD GLASS CO. 15 June, 1968, No. 28622/68. Heading C1M. In a method of bending and tempering glass sheets in which a sheet is supported on an outline mould of desired curvature into conformity with which its sags when heated to its softening point, the mould and the heated, bent sheet thereon are advanced along a substantially horizontal path through a tempering area with the trailing edge 22 of the shaping surface and sheet elevated above the leading edge 27 so that no point along the line of intersection of the sheet with a vertical plane parallel to said path is lower than the point of intersection of that plane at the leading edge and blasts of cooling air are downwardly directed against the upper surface of the glass sheet to avoid creation of a stagnant pocket of air adjacent the upper surface. The outline shaping mould has an upwardly directed shaping surface 29 with the leading and trailing edges 27, 22 curved convexly and the sideedges 25, 26 curved concavely. The mould is located on a carriage 15 by members 39 and mounting rods 37. The members 39 have bifurcated arms 40 pivotally received on posts 41 fixed to plates 42 on the carriage. The mounting rods 37 are free to turn within members 39. The angle of inclination of the mould is adjustably set by a bolt and nut assembly 44-48 (Fig. 8) beneath the trailing and leading edges 22, 27. When correctly inclined, downwardly directed cooling blasts flow across the sheet surface from the trailing to the leading edge.

Title: Airplane with adjustable wings and tail
Inventor: WILLIAMS PAUL E
IPC: B64C3/38
Filed: 1961-08-08
Abstract: 982,898. Aircraft. ADVANCED AIRCRAFT DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Aug. 8, 1961, No. 28639/61. Headings B7G and B7W. An aeroplane has a tail so located that air flowing above and below the tail has previously flowed respectively above and below the wing, and the rail is adjustable relatively to the wing so that in effect it can asymmetrically extend the wing contour to produce lift and altitude control forces. As shown in Fig. 2, the half wings 6 and 7 are composed of swept forward inboard panels 80, 82, and swept back outboard panels 81, 83, these latter being washed-out so as to have negative incidence at the wing tips. This is stated to give rise to truly chordwise flow over the inboard panels. The tail 8 is of delta planform. In Fig. 4, fixed structure 18 in the fuselage supports a king-pin 14 on which V- frames 9 and 11 are pivoted. Each wing, such as 7, is freely pivoted on flapping hinges 10 to one frame. A yoke 21 is rotatably mounted on a shaft 16 supported by the king-pin, and the tail 8 is attached to yoke 24, the two yokes being connected by a universal joint. Arms 22 on yoke 21 are connected by cables 30 to arms 29 on an outer shaft 28, and the extremities of yoke 24 are connected by cables 34 running over pulleys 35 to arms 33 on an inner shaft 31. An arm 41 on the tail is pivoted to a link 37 extending inside shaft 31. Rotation of shaft 28 thus rotates the tail about a fore-and-aft axis, which influences the airflow over the wings in such a way as to cause rolling. Rotation of shaft 31 rotates the tail about a vertical axis, which influences the airflow over the wings in such a way as to cause yawing. Longitudinal movement of link 37 rotates the tail about a lateral axis, to cause pitching. These control movements are effected by a pilot's control handle 42 pivoted on a vertical axis in a yoke on a shaft 45 which is slidable and rotatable in a bearing 44. Arms 47 on shaft 45 are connected by cables 52 to arms 36<SP>1</SP> on shaft 28, so that rotation of handle 42 about the axis of shaft 45 causes rolling. Rotation of handle 42 about a vertical axis causes rotation of an inner shaft having arms 48 connected by cables 54 to arms 36 on shaft 31, and thus causes yawing. Fore-and-aft movement of handle 42 is transmitted by lever 38 to link 37, to cause pitching. The sweep of the wings is adjustable by a pilot's handle 63, which drives, through shaft 60 and gear-box 57, oppositely handed lead screws 55, 56, each connected by a nut 58 to one of the frames 9, 11. Alteration in sweep causes pitching moments, by movement of the centre of lift, which can cancel out pitching moments set up by the tail. The following flight conditions are mentioned: (1) wings forward and tail down for maximum lift and maximum drag, (2) wings aft and tail level for minimum lift and minimum drag, (3) wings forward and tail up for a line of descent parallel to the tail, the fuselage being slightly nose-up.
