Title: Drum Hoop
IPC: G10D13/02
Filed: 1980-10-28
Abstract: A counter loop for a musical drum hoop includes a reinforcing channel member and preferably a reinforcing rim. The drum counter hoop retains a drum head with an associated locking member, or ring, by fastening lugs or the like secured to the drum shell and by suitable fastening means such as threaded bolts with nut-type heads thereon, sometimes referred to as tension screws, or rods, which engage with the hoop. The lugs are internally threaded or provided with extensions for threads to engage with the bolts. The drum hoop and drum shell are, therefore, provided with means for adjusting or changing the tension of the drum head by tightening or loosening the bolts which changes the position of the hoop and the drum head locking member with respect to the drum shell. The reinforced construction permits the drum head to be provided with a very high tension without bending or breaking the drum hoop. <IMAGE>

Title: Sound reproducing apparatus
IPC: G11B19/20
Filed: 1980-11-25
Abstract: In order to avoid resonances within the material of a conventional disc record (10), the turntable or platter (1) is made from a material having an acoustic impedance which is similar to that of the disc record material (usually P.V.C.). This encourages acoustic energy incident on the interface between the record and the turntable to travel into the turntable where it is dissipated in the form of heat. The record needs to be in intimate contact with the turntable for which purpose a clamp 12 is provided. If desired, the turntable can have a slightly concave surface, shown exaggerated in the drawing. <IMAGE>

Title: Lamp in particular for motor vehicles
IPC: F21V29/15
Filed: 1981-02-18
Abstract: An automobile headlight has a plastic headlamp glass (1), sealed (at 3) to a primary reflector (2) moulded of a polycarbonate material. The primary reflector is protected against the disadvantageous effects of overheating (e.g. softening and deformation) by the presence of an aluminium secondary reflector (9) surrounding the light bulb (20) and defining a "visor" (9b) shielding the top of the primary reflector (2). Air flow passages (16) exist to permit air circulation within the headlight to equalise temperatures between the hot secondary reflector (9), the cold headlamp glass (1), and the temperature-sensitive primary reflector (2). <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2071430-A (GB)
Title: Brushless A.C. Generators
IPC: H02K19/26
Filed: 1981-02-20
Abstract: A multi-polar auxiliary stator winding (30) is so distributed in the main stator winding (14) of a brushless A.C. generator as to respond only to the third-harmonic flux, and the rectified output from this winding (30) is fed either to the normal exciter field winding (24) via a matching transformer (40) or to a separate auxiliary field winding (34). Over the normal load range the auxiliary winding output is relatively small. In the event of a short circuit of the main winding output (26), however, the third-harmonic flux increases considerably, and the auxiliary winding provides all the necessary exciter field power to maintain any reasonable sustained short-circuit current. The auxiliary winding maybe in open-cornered delta form as in Figs 5, 6, not shown. <IMAGE>

Title: Amusement device
Inventor: MATSUMOTO HAJIME
IPC: A63H18/04
Filed: 1981-08-26
Abstract: An amusement device comprises a toy wheeled vehicle 10, a trackway 12 on which the vehicle moves, and a lift mechanism 14. The vehicle 10 has freely mounted rotatable wheels, and an upwardly extending rod 38 which engages a lift mechanism flange 66. The lift mechanism 14 raises the vehicle 10 to a height at which the gravitational force then imparts movement to the vehicle around the continuous trackway 12. The vehicle 10 remains positioned on the trackway 12 due to a trackway rail 42 positioned between the freely mounted wheels of the vehicle. The trackway 12 includes four different track sections 44, 46, 48 and 50 which impart different movements to the vehicle 10 as the vehicle moves along the trackway. In the track section 44 for example, the trackway imparts a loop-to-loop movement to the vehicle 10. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In an apparatus for discriminating conditions of response/on a telephone line, subject to spurious signal information, the telephone line is initially monitored for the presence of signal information corresponding to the occurrence of a terminating condition. Such a condition (on- or off-hook) is judged to exist if the output from a low-pass (below 80 Hz) filter 14 exceeds a threshold level set at amplifier 16 for a pre-set period of time (about 4 ms.). Only after the presence of a terminating condition has been confirmed are attempts made to discriminate conditions of response thereon. <IMAGE>
