Title: A diaphragm for a vacuum brake booster.
Inventor: HEWITT WAYNE ALLEN
IPC: B60T13/569
Filed: 1993-01-21
Abstract: A diaphragm (60) for a brake booster (10) having an annular inner bead (62) with first and second radial surfaces (86, 70) separated by an apex (82). The second radial surface (86) has a plurality of indentations (80) that extend from the apex. In response to a positive pressure differential created by vacuum in a first chamber (28) and air in a second chamber (20), an output force is developed to effect a brake application corresponding to an input force. This positive pressure differential acts on the annular bead to urge said first radial face into engagement with a wall to prevent communication between the first and second chambers during a brake application. In the absence of the presence of vacuum in the first chamber, the input force acts on the wall to develop an operational pressure in the first chamber to develop a negative pressure differential between the first and second chambers. This negative pressure differential acts on the diaphragm to rotate the annular inner bead about the apex to move the first radial face away from the wall and allow communication between the first and second chambers through the indentations to attenuate the negative pressure differential and allow an input force to effect the brake application.

Abstract: Polyurea polymers prepared from formulations including a polyisocyanate, a polyamine and a polyepoxide can have good heat stability and good physical properties in the substantial absence of uretidine diones and isocyanurates. The polymers can be prepared in one step of admixing and heating at greater than 150 DEG  C. or in a two step process by first admixing the components at less than 130 DEG  C. and then postcuring the product at greater than 150 DEG  C. The polyurea polymer, after postcuring, can have substantially no residual epoxy or oxazolidinone groups. These polymers were particularly useful for applications which require the exposure of the polyurea polymers to both intermittent high temperatures and high humidity. The polyurea polymers of the present invention can withstand higher temperatures than conventional polyurea polymers without blistering.

Abstract: A chop saw is described consisting of a stand, a pivoting saw unit including the blade (18) and the saw guard (66), a guard lock (34) to lock the guard (66) closed, a housing lock (76,78) to lock the saw unit in a raised inoperative position and a handle (52) attached to the saw unit. The handle (52) includes a push-button (50), depression of which releases the guard lock (34) and the housing lock (76,78) and opens the guard (66). The push-button (50) is biassed into its elevated position. The guard lock (34) is biassed towards its released position, but is coupled to the push-button (50) in such a way that this bias is overcome. Depressing the push button (50) first allows the guard lock (34) to relax to its released position and then, through a series of linkages, opens the guard (60) and releases the housing lock (76,78). So that the push-button (50) is easy to maintain in its depressed position, its biassing means (31) e.g. a leaf spring is arranged to exert substantially zero opening torque thereon when depressed.
