Abstract: 1,013,146. Weighing-apparatus. W. M. WISE, Nov. 29, 1961 [Nov. 30, 1960], No. 42780/61. Heading G1W. A weighing system comprises a first portion, a second portion to which the load is adapted to be applied and which is relatively movable with respect to the first portion under weighing loads, a lever system which is fulcrumed on one of said portions, is located between said portions, operatively interconnects said portions and is actuable by said relative movement of said portions to weigh loads applied to said second portion, the lever system comprising a pair of levers with their fulcrum axes parallel, means articulating said levers to each other for controlled simultaneous movement about their fulcrum axes in response to such relative movement of said portions, load sensing means responsive to such movement of the levers and parallelogram link means interconnecting said portions independently of the levers and guiding relative motion of the said portions. In the form show, two plates are connected by a parallelogram linkage, one being mounted on the fork receiving bracket of the truck and the other supporting the forks. Levers 42, 46 are mounted on bearings 45, 78 on fulcra 44, 77 on the rear plate and consist of three arms 50, 62, 64 and 84, 94, 98 respectively. The arms 50, 84 are connected by levers 52, 86 to pins on the front plate, the arms 62, 94 are connected together by a link 68, and the arms 64, 98 are connected respectively to the cylinder 110 and piston 126 of a pressure cell 38 connected by a pipe 158 to a weight indicator mounted on the truck. To avoid distortion of the parts the arms and links are connected by spherical bearings allowing for limited universal movement. In a modification, the levers are mounted on eccentric bearings and the equalizing arms are also connected by an eccentric bearing. Specification 830,201 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to apparatus for controlling the supply of liquid fuel to burners
IPC: F23D11/46
Filed: 1967-09-21
Abstract: 1,237,076. Supplying liquid fuel. PILKING- TON BROS. Ltd., and J. J. JAGO. 16 Sept., 1968 [21 Sept., 1967], No. 42978/67. Heading F4T. A burner fuel supply line 11 has a shut-off valve 14 and communicates with a sealed chamber 32 having a flexible wall portion which is moved to expand the chamber 32 when the shut-off valve is closed so as to draw fuel from the line 11 into the chamber, and which is moved to decrease the chamber-volume when the shut-off valve 14 is opened. In the embodiment shown the flexible wall is a bellows 33. The shut-off valve 14 is operated by a doubleacting piston 19 which slides in a cylinder 20 the ends of which are selectively connectible to a source P of pressure or to vacuum through lines 21, 22 containing three-way valves 21a, 22a. When the piston 19 is retracted to close the shut-off valve 14 a tappet arm 23 mounted on the piston 19 engages and moves a spool valve member 24 so as to connect the pressure source P to a cylinder 38 through a line 27 which opens behind a piston 37 in the cylinder 38. The piston 37 is thus retracted and contracts the bellows 33. When the piston 19 is extended to open the shut-off valve 14, the spool valve member 24 is moved by a spring 25<SP>1</SP> so as to connect the pressure source P through a line 28b to the cylinder 38 in front of the piston 37 and to bellows 33 through a line 28a, and thus the bellows 33 is expandable. In a modification of this embodiment the interior of the bellows 33 communicates with the lens 11 and the chamber 32 communicates with the line 28a. The bellows 33 may be replaced by a diaphragm. In a second embodiment (Fig. 3, not shown) the chamber is formed between a diaphragm (45) and one wall of diaphragm vessel (40), the space between the diaphragm and the other wall of the vessel (40) being connected to the line 28a. A rod (47, 56) connects the diaphragm (45) to a second diaphragm (53) situated in a second diaphragm vessel (41). The second vessel (41) being connected on one side to the line 28b and on the other side. to the line 27.

Abstract: 1,243,709. Presses. DEERE & CO. 3 Sept., 1969 [3 Sept., 1968], No. 43582/09. Heading B5F. Bales formed in a baler 12 are thrown to a trailer 14 by a mechanism 28 which comprises a bale-engaging element 46 mounted on arms 42 actuated by an hydraulic cylinder 56. The cylinder 56 is pivotally connected to a stationary transverse member 58 and to an arm 60 rigidly connected to the arms 42 which, together with the element 46, swing upwardly to the dotted line position, Fig. 2, to throw a bale when the cylinder is energized. The supply of fluid to the cylinder is controlled by a valve 68 which includes a manual control 72 for regulating the fluid pressure to the valve and to the cylinder. The valve 68 is also controlled by a trip mechanism 80 which opens the valve when a bale of hay, received from the outlet 22 of the baler 12, reaches the position on the pan 46 indicated in Fig. 3. A mechanism 97 for shutting off fluid pressure to the cylinder 56 after energization comprises an adjustable link 102 connected to a pair of links 50 which maintain the pan 46 substantially horizontal. The link 102 is also connected to a cam 98 which is rocked in response to movement of the throwing mechanism 28 such that when the links 50 and arms 42 swing rearwardly and upwardly, the cam 98 engages a roller 94 on the spool of the valve 68 and pressure to the cylinder 56 is cut off. By adjusting the length of the link 102, the throwing stroke of the throwing mechanism may be varied. A support structure 32 which includes an hydraulic reservoir 36 is mounted on fore- and-aft pivots 38 for angular adjustment of the throwing mechanism.

Abstract: 1331157 Endless conveyers HERMANN BERSTORFF MASCHINENBAU GmbH 20 Sept 1971 [5 Oct 1970] 43665/71 Heading B8A [Also in Division B5] Extruded strips of raw material for aircraft tyres are longitudinally compressed by conveying the material on rolls 1 whose spacing is progressively reduced in the direction of travel of the strip, i.e. to the right in the figure. Each roll 1 has at each end a roller 3 which is guided in a stationary track 4. Adjacent rolls 1 are connected by links 9, 10 with rollers 8 which run in the tracks 6 mounted on side plates 7. These plates are pivotable about a shaft 13 which also carries a pair of driven pulleys 11 engageable by the rollers 8. In operation, as the rolls 1 move along the upper portion of their endlesss run the plates 7 are swung clockwise, the rollers 8 and the links 9, 10 are raised and the rolls 1 at the input end of the apparatus become more widely spaced than at the discharge end. Since the strip is soft, longitudinal compression takes place in its direction of motion. Sliding blocks may replace the rollers 3.

Abstract: 1328411 Colour television SONY CORP 16 Sept 1970 [18 Sept 1969 31 March 1970 (2)] 44243/70 Heading H4F [Also in Division H1] A colour television camera utilizes a tube with (as shown in Fig. 2) an array of vertical red, green and blue filter strips F behind the faceplate 4, the light then passing through transparent metallic strips B to the photoconductive layer 1. The strips B are alternately conducted to terminals T A , T B  and each pair of these strips is aligned behind each triplet of strips F so that by connection of T A , T B  to a power source they introduce a colour-indexing signal in the tube output. As shown in Fig. 1 the signal output is taken from the centre-tap of the secondary winding of transformer 12 (supplied with a square-wave signal at ¢ line frequency, so that the index signal is effectively added to and subtracted from the video signal in successive lines) and after amplification and gamma correction at 15, 16 is applied to low-pass and bandpass filters 17, 18 which separate the luminance signal 7 from the "chrominance + index" signal. This latter is applied to adder and subtractor 20, 21 together with the signal from the preceding line (obtained from one-line delay 19), the outputs from 20, 21 thus being the chrominance information obtained from the filter strips F, and the index signal which is reshaped at 22 and switched at line frequency between the direct and inverted versions. Phase-shifters 28-30 enable the generation of gating signals for the R-Y, G-Y and B-Y chrominance components for production of true colour signals at 31. In modifications (a) the tube is formed with strips B but not F, a non-integral strip filter and a lens screen being used (Fig. 6, not shown); (b) the electrodes B are reduced in width and formed in or on a continuous high-resistance coating (Figs. 7A, 9, 11, 12, not shown); (c) a separate output electrode insulated from the strips B is provided (Figs. 13, 15, not shown).
