Title: Means for limiting to a predetermined value the road speed of a vehicle
Inventor: TOPPING HERBERT JOHN
IPC: F02D11/04
Filed: 1962-09-20
Abstract: 1,040,447. Regulating I.C. engines. ROVER CO. Ltd., and ISO-SPEEDIC CO. Ltd. Sept. 17, 1963 [Sept. 20, 1962], No. 35784/62. Heading FIB. [Also in Division B7] In a motor vehicle driven by an I.C. engine through change speed gearing and including a governor adjustable to limit engine speed to any desired value in a predetermined range, a road speed limiting device effective only in the higher ratios comprises stop means which operate when such ratios are selected to prevent the engine speed exceeding that appropriate to the desired maximum road speed in that ratio. Selection of third or fourth gear closes one of switches 10, 12 to energize one of solenoids 11, 13 which displace levers, 17, 18 carrying stops 27, 28 for co-operation with a lever 23 to limit movement in the increased speed direction of a governor control rod 26. The lever 23 carries a follower 30 maintained by a spring 31 in contact with a lever 22 connected by a rod 29 to the accelerator pedal whereby the governor control rod 26 follows the whole range of accelerator movement in the low ratios. The switches 10, 12 are connected to the vehicle battery either directly or through the ignition switch 14. Springs 20, 21 support the levers 17, 18 and the attached solenoid armatures 15, 16 when the solenoids are not energized. In another arrangement (Fig. 6, not shown) the extent to which a throttle control (or fuel metering valve in the case of a fuel-injection engine) can follow under spring bias the movements of the accelerator pedal is limited by a stop positioned by the governor, and movement in the increased speed direction of the governor control lever is limited in high ratios by solenoid actuated stops. In a further arrangement, Fig. 7 (not shown), the solenoids position stops which control the ratio of a lever connection between the accelerator and the governor so that when the accelerator is fully depressed in the high ratios the governor setting corresponds to the desired maximum road speed. The solenoids and switches may be replaced by mechanical, pneumatic or hydraulic means for positioning the stops.

Title: Improvements relating to pneumatic tyres
Inventor: FLETCHER HENRY RAYMOND
IPC: B29D30/58
Filed: 1958-11-10
Abstract: 927,401. Pneumatic tyres. DUNLOP RUBBER CO. Ltd. Oct. 19, 1959 [Nov. 10, 1958], No. 35961/58. Class 144 (1). [Also in Group V] A pneumatic tyre incorporating a rigid breaker 17 of steel cord layers is built by first forming a tread band 18 around the breaker 17 on the surface of a former 1 so that the band has the same diameter as that desired for the shoulder regions of the finished tyre, restraining at least the shoulder regions 20 of the tread band to that diameter, as by a restraining ring 7, turning the edge portions 21 of the band radially inwardly, as by shaping rings 12, removing the former 1, and then expanding a built carcass 22 coaxially within the shaped tread band to adhere at its crown portion to the underside of the tread band crown and edge portions. As shown, the former 1 is of segmented collapsible form and the restraining ring 7 also comprises three or more segments and has an inner peripheral tread moulding surface. The ring 7 tapers on each side from a central portion 8, 9 to provide inclined outer peripheries 10 which terminate in chamfered edge portions 11. The shaping rings 12 each comprise inner peripheral surfaces 13, 14 complementary to the surfaces 10, 11 of the restraining ring 7, the surface 14 connecting into a shoulder shaping surface 15 which extends radially inwardly to a convex-section surface 16 converging toward the edges of the former 1. In use, with the restraining ring segments loosely assembly around the tread band 18 on the former 1, the shaping rings 12 are simultaneously moved axially inwardly to cam the segments radially inwardly and thereby consolidate the tread band, the surfaces 15, 16 of the shaping rings eventually pressing the edges of the tread band against the convex and concave shoulder shaping surfaces 3, 4 at each side edge of the former. The approach movement of the rings 12 is limited by engagement of their surfaces 14 with the edges 11 of the restraining ring. After removal of the former 1, expansion of the carcase 22 into adherence with the shaped tread band, Fig. 3, is effected so that the tread band crown is expanded into complete engagement with the mould surface of the restraining ring 7. The shaping rings 12 are then removed and the consolidation of the tread edges to the carcase is effected by rolling prior to positioning the tyre and ring 7 into a mould which has surfaces complementary to the surfaces 10, 11 of the ring 7. In an alternative construction the restraining mould ring 7 is replaced by a plain cylindrical restraining ring. Specification 907,692 is referred to.

Abstract: 1376715 Pressure gauges BENDIX CORP 30 July 1973 [18 Aug 1972] 36089/73 Headings G1L and G1N [Also in Divisions H 1 and H2] A pneumatic altimeter comprising two aneroid capsules 12, Fig. 1 coupled to an indicator 31, is associated with an electrical altimeter comprising a computer 48 fed with signals representing pressure, temperature &c., and the error characteristics of the system, to give a true altitude signal which is fed to the stator 52 of a rotary transducer 26, whose rotor 54 is positioned by the pneumatic altimeter. If the rotor is not in the correct angular position for the electrical signal, its winding produces an error signal which is amplified at 58 to energize a motor 60 to drive the rotor 54 to its corrected position through an electromagnetic clutch 50, simultaneously correcting the indicator 31. The clutch 50 comprises an outer ferromagnetic cylinder 86, Fig. 2 with a series of notches 88, Fig. 3 on its inner periphery, and an inner ferromagnetic cylinder 113 with notches 114 on its outer periphery. Coupling is produced magnetically by the flux 120 generated by a coil 66 whose energization is adjusted manuallly by rheostat 122, to allow slipping between the cylinders at a predetermined torque. The energizing circuit for the coil 66, Fig. 6 is such that when the supply voltage is disconnected, current through coil 66 as supplied via capacitor 130 goes through several cycles of decreasing amplitude to reduce the residual magnetism to zero.

[Class 3 (i).] In signs comprising a shaped transparent tube through which a plurality of non-mixing liquids flow in alternation in the form of successive rods, the tube is backed throughout its displayed length by a tubular electric lamp, such as a neon electric discharge lamp. Figs. 2, 3, 4 and 5 show various manners of shaping or disposing the tube 2 in relation to the lamp 1. Fig. 1 shows mechanism for pumping two immiscible liquids 13, 14 contained in in a single tank 12 through the display tube 2. An oscillating beam 11 operates two pistons 8 in two cylinders 9 so that pressure is applied to the liquids in pipe connections 5 and 6 in alternation, resulting in short lengths of the liquids 13, 14 being passed at the junction 7 in succession into the tube 2. Alternatively, constant pressure may be applied to the liquids and a valve flap be oscillated by a cam on a rotating shaft to admit each liquid in turn. In a further form an oscillating cylindrical valve is used, and the period of oscillation may be slow enough to allow the whole length of tube to be filled with one liquid before the next is admitted. One liquid may be opaque, thus producing a gradual appearance or disappearance or spelling out of a display. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 describes three further arrangements of tube and lamp. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
