Title: Tyre or other Valves.
Inventor: KRAFT HENRY PHILLIP
IPC: F16K15/20
Filed: 1919-04-02
Abstract: 125,080. Kraft, H. P. April 2, 1919 Tyre and like inflating- valves.-A tyre-valve adapted to pass through a small hole in the wheel rim and of the kind in which the valve member and seat are introduced through the outer end of the casing and secured by a screwed plug screwed into the casing, has the casing provided with a tubular extension of reduced diameter adapted to be secured to the tyre and is fitted with an externally screw-threaded dust cap provided with a packing for making a tight joint with the top of the casing. The valve member H is mounted on a spindle K which passes through a seat member D having a conical packing F pressed against a seat in the casing by a screwed member E rotatably mounted on the part D. The valve member is normally pressed against its seat by a spring I bearing against an abutment J. The tubular part of the tyre is attached to the reduced extension L by a ferrule M. In a modification, the tyre is gripped between a flange on the casing and a nut and washer screwed on threads formed on the lower part of the casing. The dust cap S has a conical packing Q adapted to be pressed against the end of the casing, and has a slotted extension W for manipulating the member E.

Title: Improvements in and relating to regulator mechanism for ventilating windows
IPC: E05F11/38
Filed: 1936-03-20
Abstract: 451,920. Window regulators. AUTOMOBILE VENTILATION, Inc., 2559, Union Guardian Building, Detroit, Michigan, U.S.A.- (Assignees of Rickel, C. E. ; 1841, Jermain Street, Toledo, Ohio, U.S.A.) March 20, 1936, No. 8373. Convention date, March 22, 1935. [Class 20 (iii)] A sliding vehicle-window regulator, of the kind which moves the window horizontally in its plane to cause a front ventilation opening, is adapted by increased frictional engagement between one lever 24 and the retainer to move the window horizontally during its upward and downward travel to clear the lock spindle 16. The friction washer 40 on the stud 22 of the lever 24 is pressed by a spring 41<a> stronger than that of the lever 23. The initial opening is given by a notched extension 36 of the lever 23 and a stud 38<a> on the window ; when these are disengaged the increased friction of the stud 22 moves the window along the inclined tracks 15, 18.

Title: Improvements in or relating to combined electric alarm clocks and time-switches
IPC: G04C21/20
Filed: 1961-03-08
Abstract: 982,781. Electric clocks. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. March 8, 1961 [March 11, 1960], No. 8465/61. Heading G3T. An electric alarm clock includes a vibrating arm 18 forming the alarm member and a switch 19, 20 controlling an auxiliary circuit e.g. a radio circuit the said arm and switch being controlled by pushbuttons 1-4. The "on" pushbutton 2, on depression, allows closing of the switch 19, 20 by pivoting the lever 13, and disable the vibrator arm 18. The "off" pushbutton 4, on depression, effects rotation of the lever 13 to open the switch 19, 20 and disables the vibrating arm 18. Depression of the pushbutton 3 moves the latch bar 5 to release the buttons 1, 2 and 4 so that the alarm mechanism is released and operated in the normal manner at the time set on the pointer 3. A lever 33 is connected by a spring 35 to the pushbutton 1 and has a projection 33 which co-operates with the teeth of a gear 32 integral with a cam 23 and a gear sector 24 which meshes a gear 25 connected by a friction clutch to a gear 26 driven by the clock train. The gear 32 may be rotated clockwise in stepwise manner by depression of the button 1 one to four times during which movement the cam 23 effects clockwise rotation of a lever 22 which moves a lever 21 to disable the vibrating arm 18 and to move a lever 13 to close the switch 19, 20. As the clock train returns the gear sector 24 the cam 23 moves the lever 22 so that after the pre-set time interval determined by the number of depressions of the button 1 the vibrator arm 18 is freed and the switch 19, 20 opened. Depression of the button 1 when the alarm mechanism is being operated thus results in a temporary interruption of the alarm and depression of the button 1 when either of the buttons 3 or 4 is depressed causes closure of the switch 19, 20 and therefore operation of the radio for a pre-set time interval.

Abstract: 1,133,642. Valves; toothed gearing. ROTORK ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. 23 Feb., 1967 [25 Feb., 1966], No. 8482/66. Headings F2Q and F2V. A semi-rotary valve (not shown) is actuated by a shaft 37 carrying a pinion 30 engaged by a rack 34. The rack constitutes a moving nut threaded on to an input shaft 14 which is rotated by a hand wheel 26 as shown or by a reversible electric motor. The pinion and rack are formed with two sets of teeth on opposite sides of a groove in the pinion in which is nested a cylindrical part 33 of the rack. This serves to locate the pinion axially between two bearings of slightly larger radius than the teeth, in which the opposite ends 29 of the pinion are journalled. The rack travel is limited in both directions by adjustable wedge stops 40 slidable on inclinod walls of the casing 11 and retained by a leaf spring 50. The spring is located over a fixed bush 28 of which the underside guides a flat top 27 of the rack. The rack extends between side walls of the casing, Fig. 4 (not shown).

Title: Improvements in (or relating to) all-automatic control and pay installations in car-parks
IPC: G07B15/04
Filed: 1966-03-01
Abstract: 1,121,891. Car park pay installations. METIOR A.B. 1 March, 1966 [24 March, 1965], No. 8908/66. Heading G4V. A car park has at the entrance a device for issuing an " admission counter", the size of which corresponds to the time of entry; a device for receiving the admission counter prior to exit, indicating the parking fee corresponding to the time difference, receiving payment of the fee and issuing an " exit counter", the size of which corresponds to the time of operation of this device; and a device for receiving the exit counter to release an exit barrier provided the exit counter corresponds to the time of exit. For example there may be eighteen sizes of counters, of diameters differing in steps of 1 mm., one size for each successive period of an hour. The admission counters are contained in storage tubes such as 1-5 and are ejected by ejectors 11-15 selected in turn by a timer 16, and operated by a car 17 closing contacts 18. The driver picks up the counter from a dish 19, closing a switch to lift a barrier 20. The admission counter is later inserted in the second device (Fig. 2, not shown) which sorts it into an appropriate storage tube (21-25) and generates a signal (from 27, 28) representing the size of the counter (i.e. the admission time), which with a signal from a timer (29) actuates a dial (30) to show how much is to be paid for the parking time. On insertion of the correct amount (at 38) the appropriate ejector (31-35), selected by the timer (29) ejects an exit counter from a counter storage tube, which may be one of the tubes the admission counters are received in, or one of a different set. The driver may then insert the exit counter in the third device (Fig. 3, not shown), which again sorts the counter into the appropriate storage tube, and generates a signal which is checked against that from a timer to open a barrier (48) or sound an alarm (56). The operation of the timer lags the operation of the timer of the second device, by an amount which may be increased for peak periods, to allow for the time lag between operating the two devices.

The pressure between the discs and the fabric is adjusted by a hand wheel l through mitre and screw gearing k, i. with the bearings g of the shafts b. The loose debris is drawn away by a canopy v from which air is exhausted. In operation, the fabric passes through a tensioning device o around a guide roll r having lateral guides q and around guide rolls p, the treated fabric passing through friction rollers w to a plaiting machine x. In some cases, the guide roll r is reciprocated to cause sinuous stripes to be produced on the fabric-
