Title: An improved means for starting internal combustion engines
IPC: F01L13/04
Filed: 1932-04-16
Abstract: 402,413. Starting. PRESTWICH, J. A., 28, Canfield Gardens, Hampstead, London. April 16, 1932, No. 10976. [Class 7 (v).] An engine-starting apparatus comprises a reservoir 45 supplied by an air compressor 7, which is driven from the engine through a clutch 12 disconnected automatically, when the pressure in the reservoir exceeds a predetermined maximum, by a deformable member such as a flexible curved tube 25 in communication with the air reservoir. The clutch member 12 is slidable on splines on an engine-driven shaft 9 and has teeth for engagement with corresponding teeth on a pinion 10 meshing with a gear wheel 11 on the crankshaft 8 of the compressor. The mechanism for sliding the clutch member 12 consists of a fork 16 on a shaft 22 journalled in the crank case 6 of the compressor and provided outside the crank case with an arm 23 normally held by a spring 23a in engagement with a pivoted catch 24. An adjustable stop 26 on one arm of the catch 24 is engaged by the free end of the tube 25 when the tube is deformed by the air pressure therein, and releases the catch 24, allowing the spring 23b to effect disengagement of the clutch 12. A rotary valve 18 for distributing the compressed air to the engine cylinders is driven from the shaft 9 through gearing 20, 21. Compressed air from the reservoir 45 is utilized to effect an auxiliary fuel injection into the induction manifold 3. A branch pipe 51 from the main air pipe 47 leads to a non-return valve in the head of a fuel container 27 connected by a pipe 30 to the float chamber of the carburetter 4 and by a pipe 28 to a nozzle 29 on the induction manifold. The admission of fuel to the container 27 is controlled by a needle valve actuated by a lever 33 and a wire 35 operated by a button 36 ; and the admission of compressed air to the pipes 47, 51 is controlled by a starting valve 48 actuated by a wire 23c operated by a button 52. The wire 23c is connected through a spring 23b to the arm 23 in order to bring the arm into engagement with the catch 24, and thus to couple the compressor to the engine, when the valve 48 is opened to start the engine. In a modification, Fig. 4, the deformable tube 25 carries contacts 62, 63 for engagement with adjustable contacts 64, 65 on a forked lever 66 lying in a forked extension 68 of the clutch operating lever 23. The latter is actuated by one of a pair of solenoids 60, 61 when movement of the tube 25 causes contact to be made between one of the contacts 62, 63 and the adjacent contact 64 or 65.

Title: Hydrotherapy unit for a bath tub
IPC: A61H33/00
Filed: 1964-03-16
Abstract: 1,027,319. Hydrotherapeutic baths. JACUZZI BROS, Inc. March 16, 1964 [March 15, 1963], No. 11068/64. Heading A4N. [Also in Division B2] A motor-driven pump 18, outside a hydrotherapeutic bath, circulates water to a nozzle 46 which is swivellably mounted in the bath. Preferably, the mounting base for the nozzle is detachably secured to the bath waste outlet and has an inlet 84 for the water returning to the pump. The circuit of electric motor 20 may be completed through a timer switch and a pressure-sensitive switch 154 which allows the pump 18 to be operated only when the bath water reaches a certain level. The discharge from pump 18 passes through conduit 100 to the interior of valve member 68 and thence to nozzle 46. Air may be drawn through pipe 50 into the discharge jet. A rate of flow adjustment or a complete cessation of the water fans may be effected by screwing nozzle 46 towards boss 44. The flow of air may be adjusted by rotating cap 54. Water flows through the inlet grating 84 and wire gauze 104 to chamber 88 and through conduit 96 to the pump. Any escape to the waste line, through conduit 92, is blocked by the lowered gate valve 108. In order to empty the bath by means of pump 18, the nozzle 46 is turned through 180 degrees. This turns valve member 68 so that the flow of water from conduit 100 is directed through port 124 into conduit 94 and thence into the waste line. On reaching the level at which switch 154 is actuated, the pump motor is de-energized and the remaining water may be drained through conduit 92 by raising gate valve 108. In a first modification (Fig 9-11, not shown), the bath is emptied by the pump through the same route as that through which the residual water is drained. This may be further modified by arranging the pump and motor beneath the bath (Fig 12- 14, not shown). The bath overflow is connected to pipe 30 and discharges through port 114 into the waste line.

Record 12 is mounted on belt driven turntable 32 and played by stylus 38 carried by tone arm 40 which is coupled by cross rib 45 to the apex of speaker 42. Pressure on part 20 of control lever 22 tilts pivoted member 68 so that the tone arm 40 is lifted and when engaged by arcuate portion 80 of the lever is moved to the outer periphery of the record. On release the lever is restored by spring 82 and the record is replayed. At the end of record play the drive motor is switched off when pin 66 on the tone arm opens switch 60, 64.  When the eject part 24 of the lever 22 is pressed, eject lever 86 is pivotally rotated about its part 88 so that the upper wall of slot 96 engages cam follower end 102 of spindle 98 thereby moving its clamping end 100 away from the record. At the same time a tone arm lift surface 104 engages and rotates pivoting member 68 to lift the tone arm from the record, a camming surface 110 of the eject lever switches off the motor drive by deflecting member 60 of the motor switch and a depending finger 108 on the lever 86 engages an edge of the record to move it through the slot in the housing. The control lever remains depressed until a new record is inserted which engages the ejecting finger 108 and swings the eject lever and the control lever counterclockwise to the playing position.
