Title: Improvements relating to spring-controlled check valves for fluid pressure
IPC: F16K15/02
Filed: 1946-05-14
Abstract: 612,344. Check valves. WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO., Ltd., CADMAN, N. G., and VIGOR, B. C. May 14, 1946, No. 14546. [Class 135] In a spring-loaded check valve, the flow of fluid under pressure past the valve member in its open position is restricted by a choke in such a way that the equilization of fluid pressures on the two sides of the valve member is delayed and chattering is thereby minimized. In an embodiment, pressure fluid entering at 2, Fig. 1, acts on a piston 4 and pushes it up against the opposition of its loading spring 6. This opens the valve constituted by the rib 7 and seat gasket 11 and allows the fluid to flow through a choke 10 in the piston and out through the outlet 3. Owing to the restriction, a lowered pressure is produced on the upper side of the piston and the valve is maintained open by the higher inlet pressure acting on the lower side of the piston. In a modification, the movable member comprises valve heads 15, 16 rigidly interconnected by a guide stem 22. Initially, the entering fluid flows around head 16, along the stem 22, and acts on head 15 to raise it and so allow the fluid to flow to the outlet. The raising of head 15 causes head 16 to close on to its seat so that the fluid is forced to flow through a choke 23. This produces a lowered pressure which, acting on the small upper surface of head 16, cannot cause the valve to close while the inlet pressure is maintained on the under surface of head 16. Piston 4 and head 16 may be replaced by flexible diaphragms. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 610,931, [Group XXXIV].

[Also in Division B6] Apparatus for guiding strip to coiling means comprises a side guard having a member engageable by one of the edges of the strip to restrain the strip from transverse movement, means for conveying the strip to the coiling apparatus, and means for urging the strip against the member of the side guard so that one of the edges of the strip is maintained in a predetermined relationship relative to said coiling apparatus. Prior to reception of strip S, to be wound on a mandrel 47, side guard members 16, 17 are moved inward to their operative positions above a roller table 11 by threaded shafts 18, 24 respectively driven by wormwheel units 19, 25 driven by common motors 21, 26. Piston and cylinder assemblies then retract the side guard member 17 to its open position. Sideguard members in the throat 45 before the mandrel 47 are likewise positioned. The mandrel 47 is rotated and a driven pinch roll 31 is lowered by piston and cylinder means 35 to co-operate with a driven pinch roll 33. The rolls 31, 33 may be skewed by turning their frame 32 about a pivot 37. Strip S from the run-out table of a hot strip mill is then fed on to the roller table 11 whose skewed rollers 12 driven by individual motors 13 urged the strip laterally against the side guard member 16. Once the leading end of the strip is received by the mandrel 47, the side guard member 17 is moved into its operative postion to guide the strip edge. The upper pinch roll 31 is raised and lowered again only when the strip has left the rolling mill to maintain a tension on the strip. The rollers 12 may be tapered. A second roller table 10 directs strip, passing over an apron 43, to a second coiler 28.

Abstract: 599,742. Pick-up supports. BRITISH BROADCASTING CORPORATION, and HAINES, F..J. G. June 11, 1945, No. 14786. [Class 40 (ii)] A gramophone pick-up arm having a support permitting horizontal and vertical swinging of the arm, is provided with lifting and lowering means, in which an element of friction is introduced to prevent free horizontal swinging during lifting and lowering, and so arranged as to be effective before the pick-up leaves the record and to be maintained until after re-engagement with the record. A central member 12, mounted to move up and down in a fixed support 4, but prevented from rotation by a spring-spider 28, has fixed to its upper end a cup-shaped member 14 having a surrounding groove 16 in which a pin 17, mounted in a counterbalance-weight part 35 of the arm, loosely engages. Fixed to the inside of the cup-shaped member 14 is a spring-spider 18 carrying a ring 19 which, upon downward movement of the central member 12, is brought into frictional contact with the rotating sleeve 6. The sleeve 6 has a pair of upwardly-extending lugs 8 which support the pick-up arm assembly and permit rocking motion. Owing to lost motion provided by the loose fit of the pin 17 in the groove 16, the frictional contact between ring 19 and sleeve 6 becomes effective before contact is made between pin 17 and groove 16, after which the counterbalanceweight part 35 is pulled downwards and the pick-up arm 2 lifted. The pick-up arm 2 may then be moved against the frictional resistance by hand or by rotation of the member 12 via spring-spider 28, worm-drive 26, 29 and a hand knob 32, Fig. 2, which may be furnished with a scale 33 related to the pitch of the records. An "anti-skate" spiral spring 34 may be connected between the fixed support 4 and the rotating sleeve 6 and set with a tension to compensate for the tendency of the pick-up to swing towards the record-centre under frictional influence of the rotating record. A stop-screw may be fitted to limit downward movement of the pick-up arm 2 to prevent contact of the stylus with the turntable.
