Title: Improvements in or relating to discharge lighting installations
IPC: H05B41/282
Filed: 1955-12-22
Abstract: 793,582. Supply systems for space discharge lamp; converting. SIEMENS-SCHUCKERTWERKE AKT.-GES. Dec. 22, 1955 [Jan. 8, 1955; Sept. 15, 1955], No. 36852/55. Classes 38 (2) and 38 (4). In a discharge lighting installation a modulator 2 comprising at least one controllable semi-conductor resistance 8 is connected to at least one electric discharge lamp 1 and is connectable to either an A.C. or a D.C. supply to modulate respectively the former to produce an output having a pulsation frequency greater than that of the supply or the latter to produce a pulsating current output, and a control circuit 3 is provided to produce an A.C. control voltage which is fed to and controls the semi-conductor resistance so that the output pulsation frequency is dependent on the control voltage frequency; by thus increasing the output frequency the lamp ballast is reduced or eliminated and it is stated that the light yield of the lamp is increased. The semi-conductor resistance 8 may be a transistor, preferably symmetrical, or a material whose resistance varies with the magnitude of an applied magnetic field, and the control circuit 3 may be an oscillator which also may comprise a transistor. In another arrangement, not shown, the modulator comprises four symmetrical transistors connected as a bridge circuit to form an inverter, and to give an output of constant amplitude a rectifier and a smoothing condenser are connected between the A.C. supply and the modulator. The waveform of the output voltage may be varied by variation of the control voltage waveform or appropriate choice of the characteristics of the semi-conductor resistances. The control voltage is fed to the modulator directly, as shown, or, not shown, through a transformer or through coupling condensers. In another embodiment, not shown, a photodiode transistor which is responsive to the luminous flux of the lamp 1 controls the conduction of the modulator.

Title: Safety belt apparatus
IPC: B60R22/34
Filed: 1964-09-10
Abstract: 1,032,098. [Taking up slack in fexible elements. E. H. REPLOGLE. Sept. 10, 1964 [Sept. 12, 1963], No. 37173/64. Heading B8B. [Also in Division A3] A retractable safety belt comprises automatic means rendered operative by partial retraction of the strap from a protracted position to prevent the strap from being further protracted. The strap 31 is wound on the shaft 57 of a spring reel 49 which supports a ratchet-wheel 79 which co-operates with a braking pawl 80 pivoting with shaft 82 and spring urged to engage the ratchet-wheel and kept out of engagement both by a finger 84 pivoted to an arm 83 and frictionally engaging a drum 90 on the shaft 57 and by a sensor arm 85 which contacts the surface of the strap. Both the arm 83 and sensor arm 85 pivot with the shaft 82. After the strap has been withdrawn, which renders the sensor arm 85 inoperative, and the buckle fastened, the reel is allowed to rotate to retract the strap to adjust the length to the girth of the body. During this retraction the finger 84 moves upwardly on the drum 90 and frees the shaft 82 to rotate the pawl 80 into braking engagement with the ratchet-wheel 79 under the action of the spring 92 preventing further withdrawal of the strap. When the buckle is unfastened the reel spring retracts the strap which causes the sensor arm 85 to rotate the shaft 82 bringing the finger 84 to its initial position abutting the drum 90. In another embodiment, the ratchet is linear depending from the top of the channel member 110, Fig. 13, and the strap 106, wound on a spool 129, is secured to a pawl 131 movable along the channel member and urged into engagement with the ratchet teeth by an elastic cord 152. The pawl is held out of engagement during withdrawal of the strap by two fingers 160 pivoting at one end of the pawl and spring urged to engage the upper surface of the channel member. During retraction the fingers 160 pivot in a clockwise direction to allow the pawl to engage the ratchet teeth and prevent further withdrawal of the strap. In an alternative form, the strap has to be withdrawn to the fullest extent before the pawl becomes operative. The fingers project into slots provided at the ends of the channel member. One slot prevents the pawl becoming operative and the other slot adjacent the spool allows the fingers to pivot so that during subsequent retraction of the strap the pawl engages the ratchet teeth to lock the spool against further withdrawal.

[Also in Division G1] In an arrangement for sensing red, blue or white coded markings on a retro reflective label 2 carried by, e.g. a rail vehicle 3, light from source 5 is formed by reflector 10, condenser lens 11 and projector lens 12 into a vertically long and horizontally narrow beam which is directed by offset mirrors 13, 14 towards the label and an image thereof is reflected via the gap 15 between the mirrors to a dichroic mirror 17 which forms red 16a and blue 16b image beams which are filtered 18, 20 and brought to a focus by lens 21 on the photo cathode of an image dissector 7. The electron field emitted by the photo cathode corresponding to the two images is deflected by vertical and horizontal scanning fields across a small rectangular aperture which passes the sampled series of signals via dynode, electron multiplier and preamplifier to a synchronous detector which produces separate red and blue channel signals.

Abstract: 1428438 Brake relay valves MIDLANDROSS CORP 27 Aug 1974 [12 Oct 1973] 37468/74 Heading F2F An air-brake relay valve comprises a housing 22 with supply and delivery ports 28, 30 which can be connected to a source of pressure 24 and the brake 34 respectively, valve members movable between first and second positions to apply and release the brakes, a valve actuator movable in the housing and provided with first and second pressure responsive surfaces formed by piston portions 44, 50, a passage, formed by a loose fit between piston portion 50 and its cylinder wall 52, to connect a chamber 54 with a chamber 56 but restrict free passage between the chambers and a control port 20 connecting with the chamber 56, adjacent the piston portion 44, the actuating means being initially subject to control pressure acting on the part 44 so that the motion of the parts is damped and hunting of the components is prevented. When pressure is applied to port 20 piston 44 moves downwardly and at the same time air is metered through the annular passage between piston 50 and cylinder 52 so that a valve element 60 moves to engage a seat 70 on a tubular member 72 and isolate the delivery port 30 from the exhaust port 78, further movement causing the tubular member 72 to move so that a valve element 86 disengages from a seat 94 to place a cavity 96 below piston 44 in communication with the inlet port 28 and isolate it from the exhaust port so that air can pass to the brake via a passage 98 and port 30.

Abstract: 626,730. Valves. BLAKEBOROUGH, R. A., and KLOUMAN, F. A. Dec. 23, 1946, No. 37644. [Class 135] A hinged-flap valve for hydraulic pumps is characterized by the provision of means, whereby the valve is rendered buoyant. Starting up of a main pump causes the valve drum a closing the duct c to commence swinging away from its seat c<SP>1</SP>. Simultaneously an auxiliary pump k is automatically started and pumps oil from the reservoir p, through a port j<SP>1</SP> in a valve j. past a non-return valve i, and through a pipe h into the cylinder g on the drum so that the piston f moves the plate d, attached to the drum by a rubber sealing member e, away from the closed end of the drum to draw air into the drum through the pipe s. The drum floats up to a horizontal position. When the main pump stops the auxiliary pump also stops and the water pushes in the plate d and ejects oil from the cylinder to the reservoir through the byepass port J2 so that the drum swings back on to its seat. To prevent the drum slamming on its seat two diametrically opposite pistons on the end of the passage c enter cup-members carried by the drum,
