Title: Multiple Position Vehicle Seat Assembly
IPC: B60N2/14
Filed: 1968-02-19
Abstract: 1,168,401. Vehicle seats. MASSEYFERGUSON Inc. 19 Feb., 1968 [20 Feb., 1967], No. 7944/68. Heading A4J. In a tractor having two oppositely facing sets of controls, a seat 22 is guided, between two alternative mounting sites 42 and 34, by a swinging arm 76, on which it is pivoted, to a bracket 84, for rotation about the axis of a bolt 88. At either site 42 or 34, the seat is held against rotation by locating pins 92, 94 engaging holes (90) in its base plate 86. On releasing plunger 68 and latch 118, torsion springs (108 and 110, Figs 3 and 4, not shown) raise the seat clear of the site 42, so that it can be rotated about bolt 88. On being pressed down on to the site 34, the locating devices 92, 94, (90) are reengaged and it is retained by means of plunger 69 and latch 116, facing in the opposite direction.

Title: Reciprocatory drive for a rack
IPC: F16H19/00
Filed: 1953-03-24
Abstract: 730,824. Toothed gearing. DAVIS, Ltd., S., and DARBY, W. Jan. 7, 1954 [March 24, 1953], No. 8018/53. Class 80 (1). A rotating toothed quadrant 11 is adapted to impart a reciprocatory movement to a rack 10 by driving in one direction against a spring or weight bias until the quadrant teeth disengage from the rack which then returns to its original position under the spring or weight force. On continued rotation of quadrant 11 the driving teeth re-engage to repeat the operation. In order to prevent jamming when the trailing tooth 12a, Fig. 1, of the quadrant disengages a cam 15 on the quadrant is adapted to engage an abutment pin 14 on the rack to sustain the rack until the tooth 12a is clear. The portion 15a of this cam also controls the initial portion of the return movement of the rack. A similar cam 18 and pin 17, Fig. 4, may be provided to assist the re-engagement of the leading tooth 12b of the quadrant. Specification 727,534, [Group XXIII], is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to vehicle brake operating mechanism having a reversibleratio of leverage
IPC: B61H13/32
Filed: 1932-03-18
Abstract: 383,514. Brake transmitting- mechanism. SVENSKA AKTIEBOLAGET BROMSREGULATOR, 5, Adelgatan, Malm÷, Sweden. March 18, 1932, No. 8139. Convention date, April 1, 1931. [Class 103 (i).] In vehicle brake-operating mechanism, particularly for railway vehicles, in which the ratio of leverage in the brake rigging between the source of brake power and the wheel shoe brakes is variable for accommodating the brake power to the load of the car, a spring device is inserted in the brake rigging so that for a constant stroke of the brake piston different braking pressures corresponding to an empty or a loaded vehicle may be obtained. The spring device comprises a casing 14 containing springs 15, 16 acting on a bolt 18, and is slidable within a fixed housing 12 containing a rotatable abutment 11. For a loaded vehicle the brake piston operates on the brakes 10 through a lever 3, link 5, lever 7, and links 8, 9 the abutment 11 being kept out of the path of the bolt 18 so that there is idle movement of the link 4 and lever 6. For an empty vehicle the piston operates through the lever 3, link 4, lever 6, and links 8, 9, the bolt 18 abutting the lever 11 while the link 5 and lever 7 move idly due to the slotted link 8.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Lasting Machines.
IPC: A43D75/00
Filed: 1917-10-16
Abstract: 122,109. British United Shoe Machinery Co., (United Shoe Machinery Co.). Oct. 16, 1917. Lasting.-In a lasting-machine, such as of tho type described in Specification 14453/97, means are provided to bond each tack inwardly of the shoe in the same cycle of the machine in which the -tack is driven. These means comprise a bender 40, Fig. 3, slidably mounted in a groove in a thumb spring piece or wiper 24 which is secured to the under side of the usual'tack block 6, Fig. 1, by the same screws 22 that secure the block to the usual slide 8. An off-set portion 46 of the bender is pivoted at 48 to one arm 52 of a pivoted angle-lever 50, another arm 54 of which is bored to receive a spring-pressed slidable but non-rotatable stem 56 carrying an adjustable dog 64; a third arm 76 of the lever 50 is formed with an inclined face 74 adapted to engage a correspondingl face 78 on the machine frame. In operation, as the driver 28 ascends after driving a tack, a shoulder 70 on the driven bar engages the lower face 68 of the dog 64 and swings the lever 50 about its pivot, with the result that the bender is moved forwards between the usual spring-pressed tack-holding fingers to engage the tack just driven from the fingers and bend it into the position shown in Fig. 6; the bender is preferably notched at 44, Fig. 3, to prevent lateral movement of the tack, and is bevelled backwards from the notch, as shown at 82, to facilitate its entry between the tack fingers. When the slide 8, Fig. 1, -is retracted, the engagement of the inclined faces 74, 78 restores the angle-lever 50 to its normal position. As the slide 8 is again advanced, the dog 64 engages a flat face 80 on the driver bar and yields backwards until, upon the descent of the driver, it snaps forwards into position to be engaged again by the shoulder 70. Specification 26086/10 also is referred to. 1917.

Inventor: MOSELEY JAMES FREDERICK
Filed: 1917-06-09
Abstract: 117,916. Moseley, J. F., and M'Cardell, E. June 9, 1917. Insecticides.-Consists in the incorporation of tetrachlorethane or other halogen-substituted hydrocarbon with an alkali salt of a fatty acid and diluted with naphthalene, to obtain a product miscible with water, or with powder (e.g. diatomaceous earths) to form a dusting-medium. The alkali salts of the elements of the boron group, such as borates and salts of aluminium and thallium, or of the silicon group such as silicates and salts of tin and lead, e.g. salts of metastannic acid, may be incorporated in the halogensubstituted hydrocarbon as solvents and to add to the divisibility and appearance of the insecticide. Oil of rosemary or other essential oil, or aromatic oils, or products of plants, may be employed to disguise the odour of the hydrocarbon if desired, and will increase the antiseptic properties of the product; it is preferably added to the tetrachlorethane mixture before the latter is added to the emulsifier. Examples of three typical preparations, with proportions, are given.

Title: Improvements in tooth forming machines
IPC: B23F1/04
Filed: 1920-03-25
Abstract: 167,213. Stevenson, G. E. March 25, 1920. Broaching; gear-cutting. -A number of teeth are cut simultaneously in the circumference of a blank by a ring of cutters which are fed radially by successively decreasing amounts. A number of blanks 228 are carried on a hexagonal spindle 286 held in seats 285 by means of a clamp 288 which is closed by a handle 296<1> containing a spring bolt 296<11>. The blanks are reciprocated to and from a bed-plate 244 on which is a carrier wherein evenly-spaced cutters 230 are held in clamps 231. An adjusting-screw 235 inside each cutter bears on a stop 236 carried by the clamp, and each clamp is pivoted to a bar 233, carrying a roller 239 which engages a cam 240. The cams are attached to a ring 242 which is rotated by a pinion 311, so as to feed the cutters inwards. The carrier may be locked in different positions by means of a bolt 251 to provide for cases where the number of cutters is less than the number of teeth to be cut. A modified cutter 266 is fixed by studs 268 to a bar 263 sliding in grooves in a block 246" mounted in the carrier 243. The position of the cutter is accurately adjusted by means of a bolt. 281 and set-screws 279. With this cutter, the cam-ring is given a small partial reverse rotation to retract the cutters before each return stroke. The feeding and retracting movements are obtained by the action of two pawls engaging ratchet-wheels 313, 314, one pawl having an adjustable fence to reduce its effective amplitude. After the cam-ring has been rotated through the angle subtended by one cam 240, the feed is stopped by the action of a ratchet-driven cam 333 which releases a bolt 335 and locks the slide 318 by means of which the ratchet-wheels 313, 314 are driven. In addition, the pinion 311 driving the cam ring is mounted on a hand-adjusted carrier 341 so that it may be disengaged from the teeth on the ring 242. This action, by means of a link 350, operates clutch mechanism to rotate the ring 242 back to its original position.
