Patent GB-698731-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to gas valves operated by differential pressure
IPC: G05D7/01
Filed: 1949-04-29
Abstract: 698,731. Gas valves. REGWELL, Ltd., and SALINGER, G. T. April 28,1950 [April 29, 1949], No. 11383/49. Class 135 In a relay or safety cut-off gas valve operable by the difference in pressure acting on opposite sides of a diaphragm, the passage connecting the opposite sides of the diaphragm co-operates with a needle having a sharp-edged bottom and supported in the casing to permit of slight transverse movement in all directions, so as to provide a restricted path for the flow of gas and on the movement of the diaphragm in one direction permit the needle to clean the passage by the removal of any deposit into a wider channel connected with the main gas flow. As shown, the relay valve comprises a casing 1, Fig. 1, between the two parts of which is a diaphragm 5 secured by a member 10 to a valve disc 9 engageable with a seat 8 to control gas flow from an inlet 3 to an outlet 4. The member 10 has an axial passage 13 opening out into larger diameter 14 and transverse passages 15 and co-operates with a needle 16 supported with clearance in a hole 18 in the casing by a disc 17. An outlet 22 above the diaphragm is controlled by a remotely disposed valve operable by a thermostat, or by hand &c. On the remotely disposed valve closing, pressure above the diaphragm builds up to balance the pressure acting on its underside and the valve 9 closes under its own weight. As shown in Fig. 2, the valve is modified for use as a safety-cut-off valve which closes, e.g., when a pilot jet is extinguished. In this embodiment 4 is the inlet and 3 the outlet and a member 41 connecting the diaphragm 5 with the valve disc 9 provides communication between the valve inlet and the upper side of the diaphragm. In this case when the valve closes on a build-up of pressure above the diaphragm the valve can only be re-opened by leaving the outlet 22 open and temporarily connecting the inlet and outlet sides of the valve to a press button valve to remove the disc 9 from its seat. The valve is guided to its seat by a guide peg having a double ball-shaped head slidable in a hollow peg.

Title: Electric stud welding apparatus
Inventor: CHADWICK GEORGE
IPC: B23K9/20
Filed: 1947-04-29
Abstract: 645,875. Electromagnets. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO., Ltd. April 29, 1947, No. 11444. [Class 35] [Also in Group XXII] The piston 9 of a welding-machine has an annular energizing coil 10 fitted on a reduced part of the piston which when energized serves magnetically to hold the piston in its rear position against the action of a spring 8. An asymmetric distribution of the magnetic flux round the pole faces is produced so that the maximum density is at one side of the body and thus pulls the piston over against the body. This may be produced by forming a number of holes 11 substantially half-way round the flange of the piston so as to increase the reluctance of the magnetic circuit on this side, or by forming the reduced part of the piston eccentric to the pole faces or forming a part of the end flanges of the piston of reduced diameter or with a flat on part of the circumference, or by providing thereon an insert of non-magnetic material. In welding, the piston is pushed upwards against action of the spring 8, whereupon contacts 20 on the coil engage spring plungers 14, 15 connected to a timing device. When the tripod 3 engages the work a push-button 17 is closed and the timer 18 operates to energize the coil 10 and pass welding current through the stud to the work. After a predetermined short interval the coil is de-energized and the welding current flow stopped and the stud forced by the spring into contact with the work to effect the weld. The Provisional Specification refers to Specification 584,695, and Specification 645,903 also is referred to.

Title: Tape applying device
Inventor: LARKIN CYRIL STANLEY
IPC: B65B51/06
Filed: 1959-04-06
Abstract: 863,632. Applying adhesive tape. ADHESIVE TAPES Ltd. March 25, 1960 [April 6, 1959], No. 11591/59. Class 73. A device for applying pressure sensitive adhesive tape has a member 26, which by relative movement to a package applies the leading end of the tape and on which the tape rests supported by a swinging member 34 which advances and retracts around the edge of the member 26 and in its advanced position holds the tape thereon. The member 26 shown as a plate, but which may be a roller, is fixed on a plate 3 which is pivoted at 10 between side plates 1 and 2 and spring-urged at 28. Tape from a reel 19 is led over a non- return roller 64 and a-roller 9 on to the bottom of the shaped plate which constitutes the member 26 where it is retained by a roller 65 on a spring 43. Coaxially pivoted with roller 9 are two retangular plates 36, 37 on either side of member 26. The plates 36, 37 are urged forwardly around their pivot by a spring and carry contact horns 74 at their top corners. They have the V-shaped members 34 pivoted on the top edges. The plate 3 is pivoted at ,33 to a lever 14 which passes through rollers 50, spring urged at 35 and pivoted on plate 1, and which carries a roller 17 and a guide plate 38. A cross-bar 45 serves as a stop to limit turning of the lever 14 and plater 3. A plate 68, pivoted to plate 2 at 60 and spring-urged at 29 carries a serrated knife 25. When a package advances along the conveyer z-z its front face meets the horns 74 and it presses the. plates 36, 37 back against their spring until they lie flush with the sides of the member 26. The members 34 are thereby caused to retract their front ends 31 around the sides of the member 26 so that the face of the package contacts the tape. Pressure on the face of the member 6 causes the plate 3 to pivot against the spring 29 as indicated in Fig. 2. The tape,then lies over a guide roller 10 as well as two rollers 64 and 9 and is applied by the member 26 to the underface of the package. The package then meets the edge of the plate 68 and rotates it to cock the knife 25. Movement of the bar 14 consequent on the rotation of plate 3 draws the roller 17 to the position 17a (Fig. 2). After the trailing edge of the package has cleared. the plate 68 the latter springs up so that the knife cuts the tape. Application of the severed strip of tape to the underside of the package continues until the trailing edge clears the guide plate 38. After this the plate 3 is free to return to its starting position and to draw the lever 14 with it so that the roller 17 moves from 17a to 17 along the course indicated in Fig. 2 and presses the free end of the stripon to the rearward face of the package. Specification 863,631 is referred to.

Abstract: 766,354. Fluid-actuated valves. PNEUMATIC COMPONENTS, Ltd. April 12, 1955 [April 24, 1954; Oct. 6, 1954; Dec. 18, 1954], Nos. 11888/54, 28728/54 and 36664/54. Class 135. [Also in Group XVIII] Apparatus for dispensing air to a receiver comprises a main valve G, 73, Fig. 7, and a subsidiary valve D, 47, 50, Fig. 4, G and D being connected to a source of pressure air at 10, Fig. 9, a delivery connector F connected to the main valve by a pipe 64, 63, an adjustable pressure regulator B, a balancing member C including a bellows or diaphragm 41 subject to the regulator pressure on one side 40 via pipes 34, 39 and subject on the other side 42 via connection 62, E, 64 to the pressure in the delivery connector, a mechanical connection, e.g. the stem, 43 between the diaphragm 41 and the subsidiary valve, a motor member H, 87 operating the main valve and a port 52 connected to the motor member via pipe 88 and an exhaust port 46 both in the subsidiary valve. Pressure at 10 passes through a set regulator A and then to the inlet of the auxiliary valve 51 and through the adjustable regulator B to provide the required balancing pressure in chamber 40 which is also indicated on gauge 13 or by a pointer connected to the regulator loading spring. When a valve in the delivery connector is opened on connecting to the receiver, e.g. a tyre, pressure is released from chamber 42 via pipe 62, a check valve by-passing an interchangeable choke tube in member E and pipe 64. The regulated pressure in chamber 40 therefore moves the diaphragm 41 to the right to open the subsidiary valve 50 so pressure via pipe 88 moves the piston 87 to the right and through lever 86 opens the main valve 73 whereby pressure at 10 passes to the connector via pipe 78, the main valve 73, and pipes 63, 64 unrestrictedly connected through the member E. At the same time the pressure in the member E closes the check valve but passes through the choke and pipe 62 to build-up pressure again in the chamber 42 so that after a time determined by the size of the choke the diaphragm 41 moves to the left to close the subsidiary valve 50 and allow pressure in the motor member H to exhaust via pipe 88, axial passage 53 in stem 43 and exhaust port 46. The movement of piston 87 to the left closes the main valve 73 so that pressure in the apparatus is again reduced to the pressure in the receiver and the diaphragm 41 moves to the right to begin another cycle. The air is therefore delivered through the connector in pulsations. The movement of the diaphragm is snap acting due to the toggle 114. When the receiver pressure communicated to chamber 42 via 64, E, 62 equals the pressure in chamber 40 set by the regulator B and indicated on gauge 13, the cycling of the apparatus is stopped. The adjustable regulator is provided with a bleed 37 allowing the regulated pressure to be lowered as required. For each pulsation of pressure the lever 86 rings the bell twice, the end of the ringing indicating that the tyre pressure has reached the pressure set by the regulator B.
