Title: Improvements in or relating to Fluid Braking Systems.
IPC: B60T13/58
Filed: 1967-06-20
Abstract: 1,189,535. Hydraulic and hydrodynamic brakes. ALFRED TEVES G.m.b.H. 20 June, 1967 [24 Sept., 1966], No. 28430/67. Headings F2E and F2F. In a motor vehicle brake system, a pressuremedium operated friction brake 4 and a hydrodynamic brake 1 are adapted to operate on the same wheel axle, the hydrodynamic brake being adapted to influence the friction brake, wherein a charging cylinder 3 supplying pressurized fluid to the hydrodynamic brake can be operated at choice by excess air pressure or by vacuum, the change over from vacuum when the vehicle is unbraked to excess pressure when the vehicle is braked being performed by a combined control valve 6 which is controlled by a master cylinder 5 adapted to apply pressure to the friction brake and cause actuation of a change-over valve 10 to disconnect the charging cylinder 3 from the vacuum reservoir 12 and connect the cylinder 3 to the compressed air supply. The combined control valve 6 as well as being controlled by the master cylinder 5 may be controlled independently of the hydraulic brakes by means of a manuallyoperable lever to actuate only the hydrodynamic brake during a prolonged descent of the motor vehicle. In operation, when the vehicle is moving along a road without the need for the brakes to be applied, a compressor 15, driven by the engine, sucks in air via a vacuumoperating valve 13 and a suction filter 14 to produce a degree of vacuum in the vacuum reservoir 12. This vacuum is propagated via a line and an oil separator 11 to the change-over valve 10 and acts on the air space above the liquid level in the charging cylinder 3 so that the hydrodynamic brake 1 is under the same negative pressure and the idling losses of the hydrodynamic brake are kept to a minimum. When the brake has to be applied, the driver depresses the pedal operating the master cylinder 5 to pressurize the friction brakes of the vehicle and, via the compensating valve 7, changes over the combined control valve 6 to connect a compressed-air reservoir 2 to the change-over valve 10 and allow compressed air to enter the charging cylinder 3 and operate the hydrodynamic brake 1. Tappings 16 in the casing of the hydrodynamic brake allow pressure produced in the hydrodynamic brake to influence the compensating valve 7 and so control the effect of the friction brakes in dependence upon the braking effect of the hydrodynamic brake. The oil circulating in the hydrodynamic brake 1 is cooled in the heat exchanger 8.

Abstract: 467,335. Valve amplifying and modulating circuits. HARDWICK, J., and WHITE, E. L. C. Oct. 15, 1935, No. 28511. [Class 40 (v)] In a modulator or high frequency amplifier, the output circuit is tuned by the associated shunt capacity and is arranged wholly or in part in the cathode lead to provide negative feed-back, so that the load is effectively shunted by a resistance with consequent increase in the effective damping, Fig. 2 (Prov.) shows a push-pull modulator, high frequency being applied through winding 10 to the grids, and the modulating frequency at terminals 9. The output circuit 14 is in the cathode leads and neutralization is effected by condensers 12. The impedance of the load circuit is represented by resistance 13. In a modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the output inductance is arranged in part in the anode lead and in part in the cathode lead so that neutralizing condensers are unnecessary if the portions of the output inductance in the anode and cathode leads are proportional to the gridfilament and anode-grid valve capacities. Fig. 1 (Comp.) shows a similar arrangement, the output circuit being divided into coupled portions 15, 16 and coupled together and to a feeder connected to an aerial by a coil 18.

Abstract: 692,813. Automatio-feed weighers. AVERY, Ltd., W. & T. Feb. 22, 1952 [Nov. 23, 1950], No. 28606/50. Class 143 A diverter hopper as described in Specification 577,401 (see Group XXX) delivers from an overhead bulk supply directly into a weigh hopper 6 of a weighing machine and after a predetermined weight supplied is tilted to deliver on to an endless. belt conveyer 8 to supply a dribble feed to the weigh hopper, finally the dribble feed being cut-off by a gate 10. The operations are controlled successively and electrically by contacts associated with an indicator pointer operated by the weigh beam 17, which is fulcrummed at 20 and is partly counterbalanced by weights and, through linkage, by an adjustable coil spring (not shown). When correct weight has been reached a second contact of the indicator breaks the circuit of a solenoid 11 to permit the dribble gate 10 to close and lights a control panel lamp whereupon the operator presses a push switch to energize a solenoid 34 and release latching mechanism 18 retaining the weigh hopper door 12 closed. The latter, after discharge, is returned to closed position by a counter weight 35. The associated switch 13, when the door 12 is closed, energizes electro-pneumatic means restoring the full flow setting of the diverter hopper, starts the driving motor 9 of the conveyer 8, and opens the cut-off gate 10. The weigh hopper 6 is suspended from the weigh beam at 15 and at 14 from a short lever 16 pivoted at 18 and connected to the main weigh beam by a stirrup 19. The gate 10 is arcuately movable and of U-form with the limbs of the U embracing the belt and in close contact with the edges of the belt. The diverting hopper has one wall pivotally mounted at its upper end and adjustable by a screw at its lower end to suit the consistency of the material delivered, and the feed shoot disposed above the conveyer 8 may have an adjustable slide to vary the clearance between it and the conveyer and thus the thickness of material on the conveyer. The latter is cleared of material every time on restarting the conveyer 8 at the commencement of a new filling operation. The electrical contacts and system may be of the type described in Specification 662,455.
