Patent GB-2141178-A (GB)
Title: Engine protective apparatus with remote override
Inventor: MILLS J T
IPC: F02B3/06
Filed: 1983-08-22
Abstract: Apparatus for protecting an internal combustion engine in the event of the lubricating oil pressure falling to a level that would damage the engine, is placed in the fuel line to the engine and has a fuel inlet 60, Fig. 3, leading to a chamber 61 and a fuel outlet 62. When a low oil pressure is sensed the main fuel passageway is closed by a main valve 72. Consequently when starting the engine, the main valve is closed and in order to provide fuel to the engine under these circumstances a passage (110), Fig. 8 (not shown), by-passes the main valve. The bypass passage (110) is normally closed by a by- pass valve (30) but the valve is operable to open the by-pass passage by an actuator (202), Fig. 9 (not shown), in the form of a piston that is movable manually in a cylinder (204) to push fluid along a pipe (34p) to raise the by-pass valve member (37p) and so open the by-pass valve. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2150209-A (GB)
Title: Locking mechanism
Inventor: BROWN LESLIE FREDERICK
IPC: E05D11/10
Filed: 1983-10-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a locking mechanism for use with two members which are mutually rotatable about a common pivot. The two members are a platform body (4) and a leg (1) therefor which is adjustable so as to vary the height of the platform body. The locking mechanism comprises a flat surface (6) on one of the members tangential to an opposing convex cylindrical surface on the other member, the cylindrical surface being coaxial with the pivot (2). The two surfaces define therebetween a substantially V-shaped gap which accommodates a cylindrical roller (7) in tangential frictional contact with the opposing surfaces. The roller is biased by releasable biasing means (9) towards the apex of the V-shaped gap, thereby to prevent rotation of the members in a direction which tends to urge the roller towards the apex, except on release of the biasing means, and freely to permit rotation in the opposite direction.

Title: Automatic blocking of a load disconnecting switch close to a fault
Inventor: SINDAHL KARL GUSTAF
IPC: H02H7/26
Filed: 1984-01-06
Abstract: Loads A B C D E in a sectionalised supply line are each provided with electric switch devices (A1-A2, B1-B2, C1-C2), adapted to open on dropout of control voltage eg line voltage beyond a predetermined time and to close when recovery control voltage lasts beyond a predetermined time. After control voltage dropout, because fault X opens S1, switches A1, B1, which first receive control voltage after automatic reclosure of S1 will be then blocked in the closed position, switches A2, B2, 8c having remained closed. Fault X causes S1 to reopen a second time whereupon A2 opens and that switch B2 nearest the fault opens and blocks open. Thus the second reclosure of S1 will supply power to loads A, B more rapidly because switches A1, B1 do not have to be reclosed. <IMAGE>
