Title: Improvements in or relating to the heating of buildings
IPC: F24D13/02
Filed: 1960-05-13
Abstract: 968,986. Electrically-heated floors and ceilings. L. TIBBY. May 10, 1961 [May 13, 1960], No. 16896/60. Heading H5H. An electric heating installation in a floor/ ceiling structure between vertically adjacent rooms in a multi-storey building comprises vertically spaced electric heating units 15, 18 located above and below a basis 10 for the floor, the upper heating elements being retained in position on the basis 10 by a thin layer 17 of foamed polystyrene such that the migration of large amounts of heat through the structure from either unit can take place. Hence, the floor and the ceiling receive heat from both units. In the structure shown, the basis 10 is a concrete slab which carries support rails 13 for a ceiling 12, behind which is positioned electric heating elements 15. These may extend over all or part only of the ceiling area. Thermal insulation blocks 16 are positioned between the rails 13 above the elements 15. On top of the concrete slab 10 is the shallow layer of foamed polystyrene in which the electric heating elements 18 are embedded, these being overlaid by a layer 19 of aluminium foil, hardboard 20 and floor tiles 22. The elements 18 may extend over all or part only of the floor area. Each set of elements will normally be independently controlled by thermostats in the respective rooms. An arrangement of the heaters is also described for a conventional wood floor supported on wood joists (Fig. 2, not shown). Specification 968,985 is referred to.

Filed: 1922-06-20
Abstract: 202,787. Carwardine, G. June 20, 1922. Springs, arrangement of; equalizing load on springs and wheels.- In spring suspensions for motor &c. vehicles, the reactions resulting from the loads on all the bearing springs, or on these of the front or rear axle only, are united by one or more members which swivel or move under the united reaction against the torsional resistance. of one cr more rods, for the purpose of imparting a slower rate of oscillation when the movements of the springs synchronize than when the springs act independently during rolling and pitching or rolling only. As shown, the rear axle is carried by full cantilever springs 1 shackled at their forward ends to levers 2 rigidly mounted on the ends of a tubular member 3 rotatably mounted in the frame 12. The semi-elliptic front-axle springs 7 are shackled to bell crank levers 8 pivoted to the frame and connected by links 10 to levers 11 rigidly mounted on the member 3. The torsion member comprises a bundle of rods 4 passing through the tubular member 3 and secured thereto preferably centrally at 5, the ends of the bundle being secured to frame-brackets 6. The ends of the tubular member 3 are supported on the brackets 6 by rolling bearings. The tubular and torsion members may be duplicated and coupled together so as to obtain greater angular deflection, and in this case one tube may be used in connection with the suspension of each axle. Where it is not necessary to provide against pitching, the torsion member is used in connection with one axle only.
