Title: Improvements in vehicle disc brakes
Inventor: INGS LESLIE CYRIL CHOU
IPC: F16D55/2255
Filed: 1961-11-08
Abstract: 966,198. Disc brakes. AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS CO. Ltd. Nov. 8, 1962 [Nov. 8, 1961], No. 40044/61. Heading F2E. Relates to a spot type disc brake of the kind having a structure movable in a plane intersecting that of the disc and which carries a fluid pressure motor cylinder whose piston urges one pad to one face of the disc while the reaction causes the structure to apply another pad to the other face of the disc, and in which alternative applying means for the pads includes a lever system which acts on said one pad through the piston of the motor cylinder. As shown, a fixed bracket 10 is bent to provide horizontal flanges 12, 13 to slidingly support a structure composed of plates 15, 16 secured together and mounted on a pivot 17 carried by the flange 12. An opening is provided in the structure to receive an hydraulic cylinder 19 and pads 24, 25 carried by backing plates 23, 26, respectively. Shoulders are provided on the backing plates which engage the flanges 12, 13, in the case of plate 23, and the edges of the opening in plate 16, in the case of plate 26, for axially guiding the backing plates. Pins 29 overlying the shoulders are removable to allow the pads to be withdrawn radially of the disc 18. Plate 23 has a non-circular aperture 22 by which it is located on a corresponding projection 21 on a piston 20 working in the cylinder 19. The alternative applying means incorporates an automatic wear compensator effective for both manual and power operation and comprises a lever 38 of channel section housed in a space formed between outwardly cranked portions of the plates 15, 16 and being pivoted on a spindle 39 carried between the plates, a second lever 40 pivoted on a spindle 41 carried between plates 15, 16 and passing through openings in the lever 38, a pin 42 interconnecting the levers, and a thrust member composed of internally and externally threaded interengaging parts 32, 33, respectively, by which its effective length is adjustable by relative rotation between the parts. Part 33 is rotatably mounted in the cylinder 19, a sealing ring 36 preventing escape of fluid, and part 32 has an end 35 of non- circular section engaging within a corresponding recess formed within the piston. The lever 38 is connected by a cable 43 to a handbrake lever upon operation of which the levers 38, 40 act on the thrust member to move the piston for applying the pads. At the same time a finger projecting from the lower edge of the lever 38 moves one arm of a bell-crank lever 55 pivoted on spindle 41 to cause the other arm to move, through an adjustable bolt 54, a slide 44 carrying a pawl 47. Should this movement be excessive the pawl slips a tooth of a ratchetwheel 37 carried by the part 33 and return movement of the slide, effected by a spring 52, adjusts the thrust member. A pawl 49 carried by the cylinder 19 prevents reverse rotation of the ratchet-wheel.

Title: Method and apparatus for treating glass
IPC: C03C17/245
Filed: 1963-10-16
Abstract: <PICT:0995117/C1/1> <PICT:0995117/C1/2> In the manufacture of glassware with a scratch-resistant surface in which an article is formed from plastic glass and finally annealed, the surface of the article is treated, prior to the annealing step, by contacting it with a mixture consisting of the vapour of a hydrolysable metallic compound and an inert substantially anhydrous gas to deposit on the article surface an oxide of the metal contained in the compound. Glassware W from a forming machine 10 is passed on a conveyer belt 12 through a treating tunnel 18 and is then engaged by an arm 34 on a belt 36 passing round rollers 38 and 40 such that the run of belt 36 adjacent the conveyer 12 is at right angles thereto.  The arms 34 pass the ware W over a dead plate 46 on to a conveyer belt 48 by which the ware is passed into an annealing lehr 58 through which the ware passes in parallel rows in the direction of arrow 59.  As shown in Fig. 2, the tunnel 18 comprises top 22 and side walls 20 extending to below the belt 12 and treating gas is passed into the tunnel through a conduit 24 with side tubes 26, 28, each having a number of nozzles 30 with flattened ends 32, the nozzles 30 being arranged to cover the whole surface of the ware W except the bottom.  The nozzles are angled, as shown, those on the left pointing towards the front of the tunnel 18 and those on the right towards the exit, with the top nozzle on each side downwardly against the shoulder of the ware W. To complete the surface treatment, a similar nozzle is positioned under the dead plate 46 which is provided with arcuate apertures 50, so that the whole of the bottom of the ware W is reached by the treating gas. Since the period of treatment is short, 0.1 to 3 secs., the gas is blown at a relatively high rate such as 100 ft./min.  The treating compounds suggested are organic or inorganic compounds of Ti or Zr such as alkyl titanates or zirconates, tetra-isopropyl titanate, tetra-t-butyl zirconate, titanium tetra-chloride or metallo-organic esters.  The inert gaseous carrier is preferably dry air, but dry nitrogen is also suggested. Hydroxyl groups in the ware surface are believed to react with the hydrolysable compound.  U.S.A.
