Inventor: BROWN ALISTAIR
IPC: B60S1/08
Filed: 2009-07-07
Abstract: A wash-wipe system for a vehicle windscreen 17 comprises a control means 13, a wiper actuator 15, a washer-pump 14, 4b for spraying cleaning fluid, and an optical-transparency detection sensor 8. When the wipe-wash mode is selected, the wipers are not actuated until after the controller 13 receives a signal from the transparency detector that the washer-pump has successfully sprayed the windscreen with cleaning fluid. As the wipers are not turned on until after sufficient cleaning fluid has been sprayed on the windshield, smearing caused by the windscreen not being wet enough is prevented, as is dry wiping. If further attempts to wipe the screen are made, the system deactivates the wiper actuator, until a reset / manual-override signal is received, upon which the wipers will wipe the screen at least once. An indicator may inform the driver of the deactivation. Preferably, at least one electrically-heated spray nozzle 4b is provided, which the control system activates when spraying is not successful.

Title: Improvements relating to apparatus responsive to battery voltage
Inventor: CLAYTON DENNIS ALBERT
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 1964-03-11
Abstract: 1,097,451. Battery charging systems. D.P. BATTERY CO. Ltd. June 10, 1965 [March 11, 1964], No. 10331/64. Heading H2H. The charging current to a battery is controlled in dependence of rate of change of battery voltage. The charging current is arranged in three stages. In the first, the output of a bridge 23-26 is applied to capacitor 30 which is periodically connected through contacts 9/1a, 9/1b operated by a timer 9 in a cycle of about five minutes, to the input of a D.C. amplifier 32. When a Zener diode 28 breaks down on the battery voltage rising to say 2.3 volts per cell the bridge output is reversed and the amplifier 32 operates a relay 1 which is held by standing current until de-energized by timer contacts 9/2. Operation of relay 1 energizes a relay 3 and hence a relay 6 which initiates stage 2. Capacitor 30 is again periodically connected to the amplifier in series with another capacitor 31 which is charged after a number of cycles to approximately the voltage of the capacitor 30 on the previous cycle. On the next occasion the relay 1 is operated through timer contacts closing, the relay 4 is operated and held through coil Y, relay 8 also being maintained energized through contacts 4/2. So long as the battery voltage continues to rise the relay 1 will be energized each timer cycle, but when the change of voltage is insufficient to cause the relay 1 to be energized the relay 4 is released by the opening of timer contacts 9/4 hence the next time contacts 9/3 open, the relay 8 is released, contacts 8/2 breaking the charging supply circuit, and contacts 8/1 energizing relay 5 which is held through coil Y and contacts 5/1. Contacts 5/3 change the bridge series resistance from 21 to 22 and contacts 5/4, 5/5 reverse the input to the capacitor 30. Contacts 5/2 opening releases relay 6 hence contacts 6/1 shunts capacitor 31 and reconnects the capacitor 30 directly to the amplifier input. The resistor 22 passes an increased current through the bridge so that the Zener diode 28 breaks down at a lower battery voltage. When the battery voltage drops te say 2.2 volts per cell the Zener ceases to conduct hence the next time contacts 9/1A, 9/1B change over, relays 1, 4 and 8 are energized until broken by contacts 9/4, after say four minutes, after which the cycle is repeated when the battery voltage again falls. If the battery is disconnected a potential divider 36 and Zener diode 38 causes a transistor 37 to conduct energizing a relay 2 and disconnecting the supply through contacts 2/1 and relay 8. In an alternative arrangement the capacitors are eliminated and the resistance 22 is replaced by a motor driven rheostat which is advanced each time the relay 1 is operated. The circuit may be modified by replacing the relay 1 by a volt meter which gives an indication of rate of change of voltage. Alternatively the amplifier output may be connected to a null reading potentiometer or to a computer giving a continuous indication of battery performance.

Title: Improvements in contact structures for electric switches
IPC: H01H50/54
Filed: 1943-06-28
Abstract: 564,334. Switch contacts. ARROW ELECTRIC SWITCHES, Ltd. June 28,1943, No. 10412. Convention date, July 15, 1942. [Class 38 (v)] A switch has a number of pairs of fixed contacts and a carrier for spaced contact members movable to engage the fixed contacts in one position. The fixed contacts are interchangeable in reversed positions and the carrier is also reversible so that the switch may be altered to break contact in the position in which it previously made contact and vice versa. Moreover the complete contact unit, fixed and movable, may be reversed in position with the same object. As shown, moving bridge contacts 48 are resiliently mounted on the reduced parts of carriers 40, which slide in grooves in a base 22. The ends of the carriers have reduced sections 18 to fit into slots in the end plate 14 of a frame attached, for example, to the armature of an electromagnet, so that, when energized, it is moved to the right against the pull of return springs 60. As shown, the upper two pairs of contacts make their circuits in the position in which the lower two pairs break and vice versa. Either of these pairs can be reversed by exchanging and turning the contacts 30, 32 and reversing the carrier end for end. The bridge members are also reversible on the carriers and the springs can be made to press on the other sides. Or, if desired, the whole assembly may be detached from the bore and reversed, with the right-hand ends of the carriers now engaging the slots in bar 14. If the electromagnet is energized, a button 64 pressed, a tongue 69 is depressed against spring pressure to engage in the cross-bar 14, so that on de-energizing the magnet the contact assembly is held in mid-position until the catch is released.
