Title: Recording measuring instrument
IPC: B43L13/00
Filed: 1959-06-08
Abstract: 888,895. Recording-apparatus. BODENSEEWERK PERKIN-ELMER & CO. G.m.b.H. June 8, 1959 [June 21, 1958], No. 19453/59. Class 106 (4). A measuring instrument providing a permanent record on paper tape has marks on the tape which initiate switching operations. Two embodiments in which the marks are scanned photo-electrically are described. In Fig. 2, light from a bulb 6 passes through the translucent drum 1 and the tape 2 to the photocell 10. The decrease in transmission when the mark 7 intercepts the light initiates the switching. In Fig. 3, light from a bulb 12 is reflected to the photo-cell 15 and the difference in reflection from the tape and the mark initiates the switching. Filters 16 and 17 may be introduced to sense the colour of the mark. In another embodiment two spring contacts 17 and 18, Fig. 4, bear upon the tape 2. The low resistance of the mark 7 completes a circuit between the contacts to initiate the switching. The invention is described with reference to a selfrecording spectrometer and the possible switching processes suggested are the change of the tape speed, the change of measurement range, the switching on of an integrating circuit, the reversal of the direction of tape feed and the omission of unwanted parts of the spectrum.

Title: Hydraulic self-levelling device for a boom-mounted bucket
IPC: F16K11/07
Filed: 1973-04-25
Abstract: 1426358 Fluid-pressure servomotor systems INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER CO 25 April 1973 [2 May 1972] 19635/73 Heading G3P [Also in Divisions El and F2] A control system for maintaining level a boom mounted bucket during raising of the boom is generally similar to that described in Specification 1426357 except that when spool valve port 28, Fig. 2, is opened the fluid from side 31 of bucket ram 20 is exhausted to drain via passages 104, 74 in spool 16 rather than being recirculated through port 30 to the other side of the ram. In addition the system includes a priority valve which prevents accidental rollback of the bucket whilst the boom is within a predetermined height range. In one arrangement, Fig. 3, the priority valve 118 includes a shuttle spool 128 biased rightwards within bore 126 by spring 138 to a position in which the spool interior 138 communicates via ports 130, 120 with line 40 of manual valve 18. A restriction 134 also connects spool interior 138 to port 28 of self levelling spool valve 10. Thus as soon as port 28 opens to drain upon movement of spool 16 of valve 10, the pressure drop across restriction 134 causes shuttle spool 128 to move leftwards to cut-off port 120. Thus accidental operation of valve 18 cannot cause high-pressure fluid to flow through line 40 to rollback bucket ram 20 during the self levelling phase. Fig. 4 (not shown) illustrates a modified priority valve.

Abstract: 831,707. Stuffing-box substitutes. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. June 19, 1958 [July 16, 1957], No. 19705/58. Class 122 (5). In a liquid-sealed gland 10 for the shaft 3a of a hydrogen or other gas-cooled dynamoelectric machine some of the sealing liquid flowing through the clearance between the shaft and the gland towards the gas-filled casing 1 is bled off through a passage 25. Diametrically split sealing rings 12 and 13, Fig. 2, located in a chamber 15 in a housing 11 are pressed towards the shaft and into sealing engagement with adjacent walls of the housing by a garter spring 14 and sealing oil at a pressure greater than the gas pressure is supplied by a pump 18 from a reservoir 26 to the chamber 15 and thence through the gap 17 between the rings 12, 13 to the clearances 19 and 20 between the rings 12 and 13 and the shaft respectively. The clearance 19 is about one-fifth of clearance 20 so that the majority of the oil flows towards the shaft bearing 6 and is returned through pipe 24 to the reservoir 26. The bleed passage 25 communicates with clearance 19 through ring 12 and bled oil returns via a pressureregulating valve 27 and vented float chamber 31 to the reservoir 26; the valve 27 being adjusted to operate when the pressure in passage 25 is between that in chamber 15 and the gas pressure. Oil leaking through clearance 19 to the inboard side of the gland is deflected by rings 28 into a chamber 29 and drained through a pipe 30 to a gas detraining tank 31. The sealing oil also serves to cool the sealing rings 12, 13. Specification 682,486 is referred to.

Cars and cabins. - A rigid airship has the passenger and goods cabin arranged inside and across the hull in one, two or more decks so as to reduce the length to a minimum for a given floor space, the longitudinal or transverse deck members, or both, being movably connected to the hull framework. Two floors 4, 5 are shown in cross-section, the sleeping accommodation and galleys being arranged on the lower floor where window space is not available, and the saloon 8 and two lateral promenades 9 being on the upper floor. Windows 10 are formed in the outer cover of the airship to light the promenades 9, and windows 12 in partitions 13 light the saloon. A modification is described in which additional promenades are formed at the sides above the promenades 9. The cabin extends along two bays of the airship and is arranged beneath the centre of buoyancy of the craft. The decks are carried on lateral and longitudinal beams supported by links and movable struts from the transverse frame rings of the airship and connected to intermediate frames suspended from spreader bars in the longitudinal girders of the airship. Steadying wires prevent excessive movements of the decks with respect to the airship frame. The cabin space is maintained above atmospheric pressure by air scoops or fans to prevent gas or fuel from leaking into the passenger space. To ensure proper spacing of the decks the base of the polygonal frame of the airship is modified by varying the length and inclination of the sides 19.

Class 38(5) The gas or liquid extinguishing blast produced by a piston 12 connected to the movable contact 25, on opening thereof, is delayed by a counter-effect produced by the arc until the counter-effect is reduced at current zero. The piston 12 is slidable on the contact 5 and is. urged downwards to stress a spring 13, by means of a pin 15 on the contact when the circuitbreaker is closed. The arc produced on contact separation produces a pressure in a chamber 10, 11 by its action on the gas or liquid, or on the walls of the chamber. This pressure is communicated through tubes 8 to a chamber 16 and so prevents entry of the piston 12 therein, until the pressure reduces at current zero, the subsequent movement of the piston into the chamber 16 under the action of the spring, producing an extinguishing blast through tubes 8 and across the arc. The parts 10, 11 may be resiliently connected so as to act as an excess pressure safety device.
