Title: Improvements in or relating to headlights of vehicles
IPC: B60Q1/124
Filed: 1929-10-09
Abstract: 336,416. Chabrol, A. Oct. 9, 1928, [Convention date]. Vehicle lamps, directing; vehicle lamp supports. -Fixed headlights are converted into rotatable headlights by securing the lamp stem in a socket 6 rotatable about a vertical axis in an open-ended casing 1 secured as by lugs 2 to the usual lamp bracket on the vehicle, an adjustable braking device being provided within the casing. The lamp stem, socket 6 and a sleeve 26 are secured together by a key 29, to which access is obtained by removing a screw-plug 34 in a boss 33 of the casing. The braking device comprises a fibre or other washer 39 engaging the conical outer surface of a member 36 secured to the socket 6. The washer 39 is carried by a ring 40 acted upon by springs 42 disposed in recesses 43 in a ring 44 screwed into the lower end of the casing 1. The braking pressure is regulated by adjusting the ring 44, screws 41, 45 being provided for securing the rings 40, 44 in adjusted positions. The member 36 may be formed integral with the sleeve 26, the lower ball or other bearing 35 being dispensed with. The socket 6 is formed with an opening 9 for the passage of the electric leads and a flange 7 engaging over the annular portion of an operating lever 10. A screwed rod 13 is held against rotation by flats engaging grooves 15 in a fork 12 at the outer end of the lever 10, the serrated base of a wing-nut 17 engaging in a recess 16 in the fork. The wing-nut 17 is held against rotation by a spring-pressed plunger 19 extending through a lateral boss 18. The rod 13 carries a ball or other joint member 14 for the attachment of a coupling bar between the headlights.

In the embodiment shown in Figs. 7 to 9 the support assembly is retained in a slot 162 in a plastics switch housing 112 by engagement of the wedges 176 with ramps 186, the wedges and ramps being disengaged to permit withdrawal of the support assembly by wedging apart the housing slot walls 127, 129. The switch is releasably retained in a panel, (not shown) by engagement of locking tabs 154 on resilient switch housing arms 152 with the panel rear surface. The key 130 is an integral part of a plunger and magnet assembly 114 comprising a pair of legs 116 supporting respective magnets 118, the legs being constrained for vertical movement only in interior spaces 138 in the housing by engagement of projections with guide channels, Fig. 5 (not shown). Biasing of the key is provided by a spring 144 located between a fixed post shoulder 149 and a recess in the key. In a modified embodiment, Fig. 10, withdrawal of the support assembly 226 permits removal of the biasing spring 244 and the plunger and magnet assembly 214 from a resilient switch housing 212. As shown the biasing spring reacts against a post 248 formed the provision of the locking wedges 229 at its ends. These wedges retain the support assembly by engaging corresponding slots in the resilient switch housing, and may be disengaged to permit withdrawal of the support assembly by distorting the housing through pressure applied to two opposite walls.

Title: Controllers for actuators controlling conditions in a system
IPC: G05D23/30
Filed: 1966-07-13
Abstract: 1,111,747. Electric control systems. DANFOSS A/S. July 13, 1966 [July 13, 1965], No. 31510/66. Heading G1N. A bridge circuit 1, having a temperature sensitive resistor 4 and an adjustable resistance 5 in one branch, and resistors 6, 8 linked by a potentiometer 7 in the other branch, is rebalanced by a motor 17 which drives the pointer 9 of potentiometer 7 and also a controlled member such as a valve (not shown), the potentiometer 7 being shunted by a manually variable resistor 10 and by a variable impedance circuit including a transistor 20, whereby the range of control of the bridge is continuously and automatically variable. The output of the bridge from points 9, 11 is amplified at 12 and according to its polarity operates a relay 13 or a relay 14 to drive the single phase A. C. motor 17 in one or other direction. When initial bridge rebalance is achieved, both contacts 15, 16 of the relays 13, 14 are unoperated, and supply A. C. energization from 18 to a heater 22 associated with a negative temperature coefficient resistor 21 in the base circuit of the transistor 20. Consequently the net shunt resistance across the potentiometer 7 is reduced and increases the range of control of the bridge and the motor is re-operated to effect a finer adjustment of bridge balance. The sequence of operation continues until the bridge is finally balanced, with the only error remaining being the threshold voltage of the relays. The apparatus is intended to avoid overshoot without using integral feedback or the like.

Convention date, April 8, 1930. Addition to 332,836, [Class 94 (i), Packing &c.]. [Class 94 (i).] The apparatus of the parent Specification is modified so that the partially wrapped batch of cigarettes &c. is moved radially out of the pocket in the turntable before the application of the second wrapper and the insertion into the box commences. The first wrapper E is partially applied to the batch G during the insertion of the latter by a plunger 2 into a pocket. 3 of the turntable 4, and the application is completed during the intermittent rotations of the turntable to bring the batch to position A. At this point, a plunger 51 carrying a pushing member 60 is moved radially outwards by links 53, 56 and crank disc 59, and transfers the batch to a position over the second wrapper E<2> disposed over a channel 65 and pivoted flaps 66. A box S is fed along a track 67 and receives the batch and the wrapper E2 when a plunger 64 forces them downwards between the flaps, a lower plunger 73 acting as an abutment. During the passage of the box away from its lower position, the projecting flaps of the second wrapper E<2> are turned down upon the contents. During the return journey of the plunger 51, the pushing member 60 is turned about its pivot 60<1> by a lever 74 in an anticlockwise direction so that it rides over a guide bar 63 and does not interfere with the further rotary movement of the turntable. The guide bar 36 projects to within close juxtaposition with the plunger 64 so that the first wrapper E does not unfold itself.
