Abstract: 419,094. Door stops. HAMILL, W. W., Beechcroft, Four Oaks Road, Four Oaks, Warwickshire. June 17, 1933, Nos. 17304 and 20899. [Class 65 (i).] A buffer or supporting device for vehicle doors comprises a rubber or like member, housed in the door frame or door and arranged to operate in a direction more or less parallel to the plane of the door when closed, provided at its outer end with a wear-resisting part disposed to press against the edge of the door or door frame when the door is closed. In the form shown in Fig. 9, a rectangular rubber block 29 has a sheet metal wearing member 25 attached by indenting it into the rubber at 38, and is held in a metal housing 24, let into the door or door post, in which the member 25 slides; the protruding part of the metal-cased rubber bears against the edge of the door-post or door, when the door is closed, to support the door and take up resiliently any movement in the direction of sliding of the member 25. The indentations 38 may hold a lubricant. The space between the rubber and the housing at the back of the member 25 allows lateral expansion of the rubber under longitudinal compression. Complete detachment of the rubber block from the housing may be prevented by projections on one of the members 24, 25 engaging recesses or apertures in the other. The rubber block may be made cylindrical instead of rectangular in cross-section. The cap 25 may be made shorter than that shown and the rubber may then fill the rear part of the housing except for the provision of recesses in the rubber to allow of lateral expansion. In a modification, the cap 25 does not embrace the sides of the rubber, but is attached by a central web embedded in the rubber. In a further modification, Fig. 8, the cap is replaced by a metal plug 36 embedded in the end of the rubber and held therein by the rubber entering a groove in the plug ; in the form shown, space for deformation is provided by slots 37 in the housing. In all the forms, the metal housing 24 may be dispensed with, the rubber being placed directly in a recess in the door or door frame.

Title: Improvements in or relating to carrier current telephone transmitter circuits
IPC: H03C1/20
Filed: 1943-10-21
Abstract: 571,627. Modulating systems. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC INTERNATIONAL CO. Oct. 21, 1943, No. 17374. Convention date, Oct. 22, 1942. [Class 40 (v)] Amplitude-modulated waves are broken up into short pulses, the duration of which is continually variable with the signal volume. Amplitude-modulated carrier is fed to the output 2 from a carrier amplifier valve 1 fed by a carrier source 8 ; modulating voltage being applied at terminals 11 to vary the anode voltage. The H.T. supply from battery 13 to valve 1 passes through a radio-frequency choke 9, speech choke 12, and electronic switch 14 so that carrier is emitted to load circuit 2 in pulses, the duration and spacing of which is dependent on the pulse voltage applied to the grid of the switch valve 14. These pulses are supplied through an amplifier 28 and transformer 29 by a multi-vibrator 15, 16 synchronized by a control oscillator 25, the frequency of which is higher than the highest signal frequency. Variation in the ratio of pulse period to gap period is effected by voltages applied to the grid of the valve 15 from a condenser 39 connected to a full-wave rectifier circuit 37, 38 fed from the divided secondary coil 36 of the modulation transformer 41. The pulse period is thus variable according to the signal volume.

Title: Thermal severing of glass
IPC: C03B33/09
Filed: 1971-05-27
Abstract: 1349007 Cutting glass PPG INDUSTRIES Inc 27 May 1971 [15 Sept 1970] 17376/71 Heading C1M In a method of cutting glass by providing a thermal energy source adjacent to, but spaced from a sheet of glass to apply thermal radiation along an intended line of cut, a shield is interposed between the thermal energy source and the glass to prevent some of the radiation reaching the glass and so create a more symmetrical temperature profile. It is stated that when radiation is applied to a glass sheet in the absence of the shield adjacent one end an asymmetric temperature arises about the intended line of cut due to the different patterns of reflection of either side of the said line. In practice the thermal energy source is a line or point source of infrared radiation 8 situated at one focus of an elliptical reflector 12, the reflector having a heat shield 26 mounted on the reflector to shield the trim side of the glass. The shield 26 may be made of aluminium or stainless steel and may be coated with a high temperature insulator such as aluminium-silicate fibres. The shield 26 has a curved edge 28 adjacent the line of cut. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 1,258,136.

Title: Improvements in or relating to pilotless aircraft for use in war
IPC: F42B17/00
Filed: 1924-07-22
Abstract: 238,352. Bozon, R. E. July 22, 1924. Aerial warfare.-Relates to pilotless aircraft of the kind carrying a high explosive to discharge in the air after a certain time interval of flight by means of a timing gear or to proceed a certain distance and then nose-dive and discharge upon concussion. According to the invention, a split hinged worm-box 23, Fig. VI., is provided in conjunction with a worm 21 to release the elevators after a given time, during which the aircraft is rising, whereby the aircraft continues its course at the height it has then reached. The worm 21 is on the shaft of a wheel 20, Fig. V., geared to an escapement wheel 18, which receives its motion from an anchor 17 reciprocated' by a spring- controlled piston 14 provided with a roller 1 bearing on cam 10a on the tail end of the engine crank shaft 10. The spur wheel 20 may be driven in any other suitable way, for example by an electric or multiple spring motor. The wormbox 23 is opened and set along a guide-rod 25 for the desired height indicated by a pointer 26 and a scale 27. The box is then closed and locked in mesh with the worm 21 by a handle 24. At the end of its travel, a given time after the aircraft is launched with the elevators in a position causing the machine to rise. the box 23 reaches a plain part 22 beyond the worm 21. and pulls a bolt 28 unlocking a pivoted catch 30, Fig. VII., allowing a hook 31 to drop, whereby a cord 32 is slackened and the elevator controls 9 connected thereto are released and the aircraft caused to continue its travel at the height it has then reached. Another split hinged worm-box 37 is set for a given time by an index 38 on a scale 40, and' is moved more slowly by another worm 35 driven from the shaft of the first worm 21 by a worm gear 33, 34. When this box reaches the plain part 36 at the end of the worm 35, it pulls a bolt 41, unlocking a pivoted catch 42, which releases a spring-operated dash-pot 44, causing a gradual movement of levers 48 and 50. The lever 50 passes from contact 52 to contact 53, thereby breaking the magneto circuit to the engine and closing the circuit of igniters 8, Fig. 1, which set fire to incendiary charges in containers 7. The lever 48 is connected to a trigger 6 by a cord 6a or to the elevators 9 bv a cord 49. When the lever is connected to the trigger, it pulls the same, releasing a hammer 5, which strikes a pistol 3, firing an explosive charge in a casing 2, the pistol 3 being armed by a wind vane during flight in a known manner. When the lever 48 is connected to the elevator controls 9, it gives a temporary set to the elevators, causing the machine to nose-dive. On impact with the ground, the casing 2 breaks off from its attachments 4 and strikes with its pistol 3 on the hammer 5, causing the explosion of the charge in the casing 2.
