Patent GB-867965-A (GB)
Title: A fluid coupling
IPC: F01P7/04
Filed: 1960-01-04
Abstract: 867,965. Hydraulic couplings. SCHWITZER CORPORATION. Jan. 4, 1960 [July 31, 1959], No. 190/60. Class 69 (2). An hydraulic coupling for the cooling fan of an internal combustion engine comprises a housing 12, 13 which is formed with a fluid containing chamber having opposed faces 19, 19a and is rotatably mounted and axially movable on a driving shaft 10, a pair of discs 23, 29 rotated by the driving shaft and having their outer side surfaces, which carry friction facings 33a, 33b in face-to-face relation with the faces of the housing, and a temperatureresponsive element 26 connected to one of the plates for movement thereof and consequent movement of the housing to vary the clearance between the opposed faces of the housing and discs and the torque transmitted by the shearing motion of the fluid in the chamber. The disc 23 is secured to the driving shaft 10 and has apertures 25 receiving projections 32 on the disc 29 so that the discs are rotated together. The disc 29, which is resilient, is mounted on a sleeve 27 axially movable in response to a change in temperature by the element 26, such as described in Specification 507,501, the sleeve sliding over a piston 28 restrained from axial movement by a member 22 in a bore in the driving shaft. In operation, the drive from the shaft 10 is transmitted by the shearing action of the fluid, such as silicone oil, in the chamber to the housing 12 which is provided with threaded bores 16 for the attachment of the cooling fan. A rise in the temperature of the cooling air acts on fins 40a to transmit the increase in temperature to the element 26 which moves the sleeve 27 to the left so that the frictional facing 33b on the disc 29 comes into wet clutch contact with the housing which is consequently moved to the left to decrease the thickness of the fluid film between the frictional facing 33a on the disc 23 and the housing part 12 so that the torque transmitted by the coupling is increased. Spring tags 39 on the disc 23 prevent a predetermined minimum clearance between the discs being reduced so that the torque transmitted by the coupling is not reduced beyond a predetermined minimum. The plates 23, 29 are provided with apertures to permit the toroidal circulation of fluid in the chamber as described in Specification 841,203. Cooling fins 17, 18 are provided on the houring parts 12, 13.

Title: Method of and apparatus for degassing metal samples in electric arcs
IPC: C21C7/10
Filed: 1962-01-05
Abstract: A method of extracting gases from metal samples in an electric arc comprises charging the samples into an excitation chamber having at least one sample holder constructed as an electrode and the chamber being adapted to be evacuated and charged with an inert gas, the sample holder and counter electrode being degassed at a higher temperature than that obtained during excitation of the sample in an atmosphere of an inert gas, eg. argon with up to 10% hydrogen. As shown, a number of sample holders 4 in the form of hollow electrodes are supported on a turntable 3 in a chamber 1 which may be evacuated through a pipe 7 or charged with an inert gas through a pipe 8.  The sample may be inserted through a connection 9 having a quartz window.

A switch comprises a resilient blade c (or, alternatively, a pivoted spring-biased blade) fixed at b and carrying a permanent magnet i and a contact h. As shown, the magnet is carried by an integral tongue c<SP>1</SP> of the blade. The blade actuated comprises a U-shaped iron member having forked sides k joined by a cross piece m and pivoted on a pin j, the forked sides receiving the respective ends of the magnet. In each limit position of the contact h in which it engages stop d or e, at least one stop constituting a contact, the switch is held by the attraction between the magnet and one of the arms of the forked sides k. The actuator is shown as operable by a push button o which acts on the cross piece m, pressure on the button causing stressing of the blade until the magnet is pulled off the upper arms of the sides k and attracted to the lower arms, the contact h disengaging contact d and engaging contact e. On release of the button the stress in the blade restores the switch to its initial condition. In a modification the arrangement is such that the blade remains in each limit position and the actuator is moved by a lever operable by hand or automatically. Further, the actuator may be operated by a thermostat.
