Patent GB-565246-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to gyroscopic control apparatus
IPC: G01C19/00
Filed: 1943-04-30
Abstract: 565,246. Gyroscopic apparatus. BROWN, J. P. April 30, 1943, No. 6825. [Class 97 (iii)] In a gyroscopic directional control apparatus for the automatic navigation of air and other craft, the gyro rotor is precessed by jets of fluid directed against one or both faces of the rotor. As shown, for mounting in an aircraft, the rotor A, as described in Specification 427,422, is driven through a slipping ball joint B on one end of a spindle B<1> carried by the rotor casing C. The casing is mounted on horizontal trunnions D in a U-shaped cradle E rotatable about a vertical axis. Deviation of the aircraft causes a relative displacement between the rotor and its casing. The deviation is automatically corrected in the horizontal and vertical directions by the action of servomotors L, N on the controls of the craft. The servomotor valves (in casings K<3>, M<3>) are operated through intermediate linkage by -an axial extension A<1> of the rotor. At the same time as operating the controls, and in order to avoid the tendency of the slipping ball joint to orientate the rotor in space, the servomotors rotate the cradle E about its vertical spindle, and rotate the rotor casing about its horizontal trunnions until the relative positions of the rotor and its casing are restored to normal position. In accordance with the invention, if the course of the craft is to be altered, the rotor is precessed to the new-position by jets of fluid impelled against one face or the other of the rotor. The movement of the rotor starts up the servomotors as described above to turn the craft and align the rotor axis and casing. The jets are caused to issue from pairs of nozzles G, G<1> and G2, G<3> spaced at 90 degrees on the rotor .casing and supplied through pipes H ... H<3>. The control of the jets may be effected automatically or through valves actuated separately by solenoids J ... J3 under the control of the occupant of the aircraft. In a modification, the jets are arranged to impinge against the same face of the rotor. When the apparatus is installed on a surface vessel, the trunnions D are dispensed with, the rotor casing being fixed in the cradle E. The rotor axis is then maintained in line with the driving spindle B<1> during pitching of the craft by jets from the nozzles G<2>, G<3> controlled by a valve adjusted by the axial extension A<1>. Specification 468,288 also is referred to.

[Also in Divisions B2 and H4] In a facsimile system for colour reproduction (see Division H4) each printing head comprises a spray gun which deposits coloured ink (pigment) on to white paper or cloth &c. in different densities according to the colour signals. In a first embodiment the spray gun includes a solenoid valve, Fig. 15, and by varying the signal current in moving coil 152 the pneumatic valve 154 is reciprocated vertically changing the flow rate of compressed air to the spray gun which controls the discharge rate of the ink. Alternatively the solenoid valve may include a moving iron 160, Fig. 16, which moves in response to variation of the signal current through existing solenoid 159, moving pneumatic valve 162 and thus changing the flow rate of compressed air from inlet 165 which is delivered to the spray gun. Elements 161 and 163 comprise a spring and a bellows respectively. In a further embodiment, Fig. 17, compressed air is forced through inlet 170 to spray ink out of nozzle 173 through passages 171 and 172, needle valve 167 being responsive to variation of a current through solenoid 175. In a further embodiment, Figs. 18-21 (not shown), a permanent magnet (178) is attached to a needle valve (177), and upon actuation of a solenoid the needle valve is arranged to rotate against the elastic force of two springs.

Title: Improvements in or relating to vacuum or pressure operated servo brake devices
IPC: F15B13/14
Filed: 1941-05-30
Abstract: 549,692. Fluid-pressure servomotor-control-systems. CLAYTON DEWANDRE CO., Ltd., WILLETT, S. E., and EDGE, S. H. May 30, 1941, No. 955. [Class 135] [Also in Group XXXIV] Relates to brake operating mechanism such as described with reference to Fig. 10 of Specification 347,136, [Group XXXIV], and in Specification 256,560, [Class 135], in which a fluid-pressure servo-cylinder augments the pedal effort the arrangement being such that the pressure applied by the cylinder reacts on the pedal and that the brakes can be applied by pedal effort only if the power fails and consists in a modification whereby the twist to which the press mechanism is subjected by the pedal rod and brake rod is avoided. The " reaction lever 6, 6a to which the piston rod 19 is connected is pivotally mounted on a pin 10 carried by a pair of levers 8, 8a pivoted on a fixed pivot 9 which passes with clearance through a bush 11 secured to the lever 6, 6a. Operating connections 13, 14 for the control valve 16 are connected to the bush 11. The forked end 18 of the brake rod 17 is secured to a pin 7 carried by the levers 8, 8a and the pedal push rod 1 is secured to a bush 5 mounted in the lever 6, 6a and through which the pin 7 passes with clearance. Springs 21, 22 urge the piston 20 and lever 6, 6a towards the normal position shown in full lines. Operation of the pedal initially turns the lever 6, 6a about the pin 10 thus operating the valve 16 to connect the cylinder 3 to a vacuum source so that piston 20 turns the lever about pivot 9 the movement being transmitted through levers 8, 8a to the brake rod 17. The effort supplied by the piston reacts through the lever 6, 6a and rod 1 on the pedal so that the operator feels the braking pressure. If the vacuum fails the pedal pressure is applied directly from the rod 1 to rod 17 through the middle point of the pin 7 and the fork 18 without the application of any twist to the mechanism.

Abstract: 976,402. Filters for liquids. BEHRING- WERKE A.G. Feb. 27, 1961 [Feb. 25, 1960], No. 7189/61. Heading B1D. Suspension is withdrawn by a rotary pump 1, Fig. 1, from a tank 5 and discharged to the bottom of a chamber 3 of a filter 3, 4 ; from the top of the chamber it returns to the tank 5. In the chamber 3 it is constrained to take a zig-zag course by interdigitating slats 6, Fig. 2, which extend alternately from one vertical edge very nearly to the other. By regular and automatic pump-reversal the direction of flow is periodically changed to prevent clogging of the filter element 2, Fig. 5. Filtrate from chamber 4 collects in a container 13. The residue may be washed by washing-liquid introduced into tank 5, after which the residue is concentrated as before. The residue may be dissolved by a solvent introduced by the pump 1, the resulting solution passing through element 2 and being received in a container at 13. Alternatively, the solvent may be introduced under pressure at the filtrate side of the element and suction applied by the pump 1, the solution being collected in container 7. In the lastmentioned process a suspending agent may be used instead of a solvent, so that a concentrated suspension is received in container 7. Pertussis germs may be obtained as a concentrated saline suspension. Protein may be precipitated from serum and the precipitate filtered and redissolved ; the filtrate may be similarly treated.
