Title: Brake fluid reservoir cap
Inventor: REINARTZ HANS-DIETER
IPC: B60T11/26
Filed: 1983-02-09
Abstract: A valve arrangement for a compensating reservoir in a hydraulic brake system with a threaded cover (4) encompassing the filling opening (3) of a filling socket (1) has an inlet channel (7), and an outlet channel (8) sealable by an inlet valve and an outlet valve having a common elastic valve ring (11), which forms the valve element, and also the gasket between the front surface (10) of the fill socket (1) and the threaded cover (4).

Title: Adhesive compositions
Inventor: PETERSON WINSTON JAMES
IPC: C09J163/00
Filed: 1983-04-18
Abstract: A method of making a one- part, spreadable adhesive composition comprises   (i) forming the reaction product at a room temperature below 130 DEG C of an epoxy resin, a functional group-terminated butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymer elastomer, a chain extender (e.g. a dihydric phenol) and a catalyst for the reactions between the epoxy and functional groups (e.g. triphenyl phosphine or a tertiary amine),     (ii) cooling the reaction product, and then (iii) combining the reaction product with a hardener (especially dicyandiamide), providing that in step (ii) the product is cooled to a temperature at which there will be substantially no reaction when combined with the hardener.   The resulting adhesive composition has a reasonable storage life as it is substantially non-curable at room temperature, a temperature of at least 130 DEG C usually being required to convert it to an infusible state. In addition the adhesive composition is usually curable to a product having a high impact modulus i.e. a non-brittle product.

Title: Anti-hijack devices
Inventor: AGAHI ARJANG
IPC: B60R25/045
Filed: 1983-06-15
Abstract: An anti-hijack device for a motor vehicle has a memory device containing a preset coded signal, a comparator to which a coded signal can be applied and which compares the applied signal with that in the memory and a circuit for immobilising the engine of the motor vehicle and/or surrounding the alarm. If the lawful driver of the vehicle anticipates being hijacked, he operates the device which, at the end of a predetermined time interval, energises the circuit to immobilise the engine and/or alarm. If the danger passes, and the vehicle is not hijacked, the lawful driver introduces the correct coded signal into the comparator to stop the timer. <IMAGE>

Title: Arrangements of vehicles wiping apparatus
Inventor: HAYWOOD ROGER PAUL
IPC: B62D25/12
Filed: 1983-09-05
Abstract: The bodywork of a vehicle incorporates a bristle curtain 15 of material which is so positioned as to mask the screen-wiping-arm pivots 13, 14 and at least the pivot-adjacent portion of the arm itself when the arm is at rest, and which is flexible enough and resilient enough for the arm to push past the curtain in each direction as the arm first rises to sweep the screen and then subsequently returns to its at-rest position on or below the screen edge. The bristles may constitute substantially the entire curtain; or may occupy only that portion of the curtain in which the arm moves; or may occupy only the arm-pushed edge region of said portion. Alternatively a plastics member with a 'feathered' edge (Fig 7) may be used, or two strips of relatively stiff plastic material (Fig 4). The arrangement may be applied to bodywork adjacent a car windscreen; a car rear screen; a car side screen; and a car headlamp. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2129924-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in cooling apparatus for motor vehicles
Inventor: HINE DAVID RANDOLPH
IPC: B60H1/32
Filed: 1983-09-08
Abstract: Apparatus 30 is provided in a vehicle whereby forward motion of the vehicle causes air to flow both into its housing 31 and its heat exchanger 32 surrounded by housing 31 at a spacing 38. At the same time water is sprayed onto fins 37 in the wall or walls of the heat exchanger 32 through nozzles 39 to leave a film of water on the fins. The air flow through the housing 31 causes evaporation of the film of water on the fins 37 before exiting at air outlet 34 to atmosphere. Evaporation extracts latent heat from the air flowing through the heat exchanger 32 so that cool air exits its air outlet 49 leading to the interior of the vehicle. <IMAGE>

Title: Self-contained portable single patient ventilator/resuscitator
Inventor: ANSITE WILLIAM KENNETT
IPC: A61M16/12
Filed: 1984-09-21
Abstract: A self-contained portable single patient ventilator/resuscitator of the type which has a timed cycle of operation, but which a patient can override in response to his physiological needs. The ventilator/resuscitator has a power source in the form of a chemical oxygen generator (18 or 132), fluid operated delivery means associated with the oxygen source, and control means. The delivery means includes pump means (28 or 122) associated with an ambient air filter (32 or 120), a two position valve shiftable between inspiratory and expiratory modes, an output tube (42 or 130) and a mask (10 or 110) and head harness (12 or 112). When the delivery means is in the inspiratory mode at least a portion of the oxygen output is delivered to the patient (14 or 114) and when the delivery means is in the expiratory mode at least a portion of the oxygen output is delivered to an accumulator (54 or 124). The control means (24 or 186, 188, 190, 192) will cause the valve means (22 or 128) to cycle between its inspiratory and expiratory positions in a timed cycle established by timing modules (88, 89 or 188, 190). The control means additionally includes pressure sensing devices (90, 92 or 202) which are capable of causing the valve means to be shifted to an inspiratory mode when the patient initiates an inspiratory effort, and which are also capable of causing the valve means to be shifted to an expiratory mode when the pressure to the patient exceeds its set peak pressure. <IMAGE>

One of the capacitor plate portions (9) may be provided with a recess (42) and with an internally threaded bore (44) which opens into the recess, and an externally threaded trimmer slug (43) may be received in the bore and extend to a greater or lesser degree into the recess and thus contribute to a greater or lesser degree to the total capacitance of the capacitor. A dielectric spacer may be interposed between the capacitor plate portions to determine the size of the gap (40) therebetween, and to maintain the gap size constant, regardless of the external conditions, e.g. vibrations, applied to the capacitor. To reduce stresses due to such vibrations, the capacitor plate (17) may have a resilient mounting. in a filter, (9) is part of a resonator bar extending across the cavity. <IMAGE>

Title: Liquid fabric softening and antistatic compositions, including detergent compositions
Inventor: RAMACHANDRAN PALLASSANA N
IPC: C11D1/52
Filed: 1986-01-28
Abstract: A fabric softening and antistatic liquid laundry detergent composition includes synthetic anionic organic detergent, bentonite and higher aliphatic isostearamide antistat in an aqueous medium. The liquid detergent composition preferably contains a builder, such as polyphosphate and/or carbonate. A process for washing and drying laundry utilizes the described liquid detergent in the washing operation and produces laundry that is soft and static-free, or of low electrostatic charge, despite having been subjected to a tumble drying process or similar static charging drying process, which normally causes laundry of similar fabrics to become electrostatically charged, resulting in objectionable "static cling". A combined softening and antistatic composition which comprises bentonite fabric softener and N-isostearamide antistat in an aqueous medium is intended for addition to liquid detergent compositions or to wash waters. The preferred isostearamides are N-cocoisostearamide, N-octylisostearamide and N-hydrogenated tallow isostearamide.
