Title: Windscreen washing mechanism for road vehicles
IPC: B60S1/48
Filed: 1961-09-29
Abstract: 940,490. Windscreen washers. D. N. MACEY. Sept. 27, 1962 [Sept. 29, 1961], No. 35252/61. Heading A4F. A windscreen washer pump is operated by a reciprocating part of the wiper actuating mechanism which passes through a slot in a plate carrying the pump to engage an actuating lever for the pump. Fig. 1 shows the inoperative position of the actuating lever 18 of the pump 10. On operation of the Bowden cable 25 by the driver the movement of lever 22 pivoted on the plate 8 at 23 forces lever 18 to change position (Fig. 2) due to linkage 19. The end 18b thus imparts a pumping stroke to plunger 11 while the end 18a engages pin 16. Return movement of lever 18 to the position shown in Fig. 1 is effected by operating cable 25 in the opposite direction, the plunger 11 being moved outwardly by a spring. Automatic operation of pump and wipers may be carried out by energizing motor 5 which operates through gearing and crank arm 6 to reciprocate a flexible rack 7 driving the wipers. Pumping movements are then imparted to plunger 11 by pin 16 against which arm 18a is caused to bear by the spring acting on plunger 11.

Title: Brake assemblies

Abstract: 1,114,077. Disc brakes. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. 11 Aug., 1966 [26 Aug., 1965], No. 35986/65. Heading F2E. A floating caliper disc brake 10 comprises a caliper member formed by two portions 20, 22 which are bolted together and guided for sliding relative to a rotary brake disc 24 on a pair of pins (Figs. 1, 2, not shown). A movable caliper portion 30 is carried by the caliper member portion 20 and guided for sliding relatively thereto on a series of pins attached to the portion 20 (Fig. 4, not shown). The portions 22 and 30 carry friction pads 26 and 38 respectively, the portion 30 being urged towards the brake disc 24 by fluid pressure acting on a pair of pistons 32 which work in cylinders 34 formed in the portion 20. The brake 10 is provided with an automatic wear adjustment device which comprises a pin 44 frictionally held within a bore of the portion 30 and, in the brake released position, abutting a surface 46 of the portion 20 towards which it is urged by a spring 50. The brake clearance is determined as the distance between a projection of the portion 22 and an end of a spring retainer 48. If, on actuation of the brake, the portion 30 has to move a distance greater than the desired clearance then the retainer 48 engages the projection to force the pin 44 further through the aperture in the portion 30. The pins upon which the caliper member slides project into oversize apertures in the portion 20, a spring being housed in the apertures to prevent undue movement of the pins relative to the caliper member (Fig. 5, not shown).

Patent GB-929977-A (GB)
Title: Automatic electric circuit breaker
Inventor: NASH WILLIAM HART
IPC: H01H73/24
Filed: 1960-10-24
Abstract: 929,977. Automatic circuit-breakers; mechanical switches; liquid - break switches. McGRAW-EDISON CO. Oct. 24, 1960, No. 36403/60. Class 38 (5). A circuit-breaker is provided with signalcontrolling auxiliary contacts 111, 130 which are tripped to close before main contacts 22, 24 are tripped to open, the circuit-breaker being particularly for the protection of a transformer and for immersion in the transformer oil so that bi-metallic tripping elements 32 respond to the current flowing through them and to the heat of the oil. Fig. 3 shows the circuit-breaker operating mechanism in the tripped condition. To re-set the mechanism, an operating lever 50 is turned clockwise about its pivots 52 so that a transverse member 51 of the lever 50 turns a bell-crank lever 64 about a fixed pivot 65. The lever 64 through a link 62 turns a latch arm 57 to latch the arm against a latch member 42. The lever 50 may now be turned anti-clockwise to move a spring 76 overcentre, causing it to straighten a toggle 68, 71 and so close the main contacts 22, 24. Under overload conditions, the, or each, bimetallic element 32 deflects downwardly and through an insulating member 38 and adjusting screw 40 turns the latch member 42. Initially, the turning of the member 42 causes the rotation of a trip member 117 to release the latch portion 116 of the pivoted auxiliary contact 130 which is then turned by a spring 86 into engagement with the fixed auxiliary contact 111. Subsequently, if the overload continues, the latch arm 57 is released by the latch member 42 so that the mechanism collapses into the position shown in Fig. 3, the main contacts being tripped open. To reset the auxiliary contact mechanism, the operating lever 50 is turned anticlockwise slightly beyond the " closed " position shown in Fig. 1 so as to move a resetting bar 135 which has transverse end portions 140, 137 co-operating respectively with the lever 50 and with an integral resetting arm 138 of the auxiliary contact 130. This opens the contact 130 and relatches it to the trip member 117. The overload setting of the circuit-breaker may be increased from a remote point by moving a wire 108, Fig. 2, upwardly so as to turn an adjusting plate 98 and increase the tension of a spring 87 acting between the plate 98 and the latch member 42. Specification 929,978 is referred to.

Abstract: 869,157. Electric selective signalling systems. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Nov. 3, 1959 [Nov. 14, 1958], No. 36755/58. Class 40 (1). A digital to analogue converter comprises a plurality of multicathode gas-discharge tubes arranged to be stepped in cascade to count incoming pulses, the tubes counting in successive powers of a chosen radix and the cathodes being connected to successive tapping points of a resistance chain graded for successive tubes in accordance with the radix so that the current through each tube produces a potential drop along the resistance chain depending upon the cathode carrying the discharge and the radix power to which the tube corresponds, so that the total resistance drop across the chain provides a measure of the total number of incoming pulses counted. Input pulses step on the glow discharge in a counting tube D1 which cuts out part of a resistive chain R1. A " carry " arrangement steps a second counting tube D2 having a resistive chain R2 ten times greater than R1, each time the glow in D1 arrives at the tenth cathode. The output voltage from the chain R1, R2 is representative of the number of input pulses. Variable resistances may be used to correct individual peculiarities of the tubes.

[Class 59.] A ball-and-ring mill comprises a floating rotary member and non-rotary members on opposite sides thereof which are spaced apart by grinding balls of which the inner upper row are of larger size and subject to less centrifugal effect than the others. Material is fed to the inner row and passes to the other rows means being provided to retard, progress through the rows such means may comprise co-operating adjustable elements which produce some agitation of the material being ground. As shown in the Figure, upper and lower rows of balls 15, 16, 21 are driven by a ring 12 connected to a yoke 37 on a shaft 23 by abutting lugs 12a, 37a. The inner balls 15 are of larger diameter than the outer balls 16 and are loaded by non-rotary rings 17, 18 pressed downwardly by springs 19, 20. Material to be ground falls on to a cone 32 and is thrown by a rib 33 into the inner ball race. The outer row of balls 16 retard the passage of material through the inner row and a ledge 34 on the ring 12 and an adjustable ledge 35 on the casing retards the flow through the outer row of balls and agitates the material. The material passing the ledge 34 falls to the lower row of balls 21 and passes inwardly thereof against the action of centrifugal force. The finished material falls through a passage 36 and is swept by a paddle 39 to the discharge orifice 40 from which it is conveyed by a bucket elevator to a separator.
