Patent EP-0057081-A3 (EP)
IPC: F24F13/065
Filed: 1982-01-20
Abstract: A directional air discharge nozzle of the kind comprising 
a tubular air deflector member (1,2) mounted for swivelling 
in a housing (10) through which air is to be passed to and 
through the deflector member, whereby air admitted to the 
housing (10) is directed by the deflector member (1, 2) in a 
required direction by appropriate swivelling of the deflector 
member in the housing. The deflector member (1, 2) has a 
closure plate (3) therein which is movable in the fore-and-aft 
directions of the deflector member (1, 2) between closed and 
open positions. In the open position of the closure plate (3) 
the air flows through the member (1, 2) around the whole 
periphery of the closure plate (3). The closure plate (3) may 
be mounted on a screw-threaded spindle (9) extending 
co-axially of the deflector member (1,2), whereby rotation of 
the closure plate (3) relatively to the deflector member (1, 2) 
effects movement of the closure plate (3) axially of the 
deflector member (1, 2) between its closed and open 
positions. Alternatively, the closure plate may be opened and 
closed by successive depression of the closure plate relative­
ly to the tubular member by providing an operating mechan­
ism of the "push-push" type.

Patent EP-0119562-A3 (EP)
Title: Surgical irrigator/evacuator
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 1984-03-09
Abstract: A surgical implement comprising an irrigator/evacuator includes a reservoir (14) connected to one side of the barrel (10) of a pump having an outlet opening (11) at one end. Fluid can be displaced outwardly and withdrawn into the implement by means of a compression bulb (12) or other suitable device. A free piston (15) is housed in the barrel (10) so as to be movable in either direction by fluid flow. The piston is retracted by inflowing liquid and thereby allows free passage of pieces of tissue or other material from the opening (11) towards the reservoir (14). Outward displacement of the fluid causes the piston (15) to move towards the outlet end of the barrel (10), in which position it effectively prevents such pieces of tissue from being returned through the opening (11) without significantly restricting fluid flow.

Patent EP-0197617-A3 (EP)
IPC: B29C49/36
Filed: 1986-04-09
Abstract: Improvements in the mold opening and closing actuator 
mechanism in a multiple station, multiple clamp assembly 
rotary blow molding machine for the manufacture of plastic 
bottles and the like and improvements in the automatic 
unloader mechanism for the machine. In a rotary machine 
having an even number of stations and clamp assemblies 
rotatably indexable from station to station, the clamp 
assemblies are closed and opened by rotatable cranks and 
toggle mechanisms. Adjacent clamp assemblies are opened 
and closed by rotating the respective cranks in opposite 
directions for either the closing or the opening movements 
of the clamp assemblies. Rotary actuators at the mold 
closing and mold opening stations rotate 180° to actuate the 
clamp assemblies. By providing the above opposite rotation­
al actuation of adjacent clamp assemblies the need to ­
reverse or retract the rotary actuators during indexing of the 
clamp assemblies is eliminated as is the time required to 
reverse or retract. The clamp assemblies can thereby be 
more quickly indexed from station to station. The unloader 
mechanism at the mold opening station is mechanically 
driven from the rotary indexable table drive of the machine 
thereby providing positive mechanical timing for the unload­
er to grasp the part and lift the part from the mold as the 
mold halves separate. The mechanical drive includes a crank 
drive for vertical motion of the unloader and a rotary 
indexable drive for movement of the part from the mold 
opening station to a nearby conveyor.

Patent EP-0212896-A3 (EP)
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 1986-08-01
Abstract: A serial communication interface establishes communica­
tion between a microprocessor (28) of a transmitter (10) and 
a current loop (12, 14) powered by a power supply (16). The 
microprocessor (28) outputs (at 30) an analog signal corre­
sponding to a process variable and also outputs (at 32) a serial 
communication voltage pulse signal. The analog signal is ap­
plied to a current regulating circuit (42) which draws current 
from the power supply (16) onto the current loop (12, 14) in an 
amount proportional to the process variable. A comparator 
(46) has one input connected to the microprocessor (28) for 
a receiving the serial communication voltage pulse signal and 
another input (48) for receiving a fixed selected voltage (+ 5v). 
The output of the comparator (46) is connected to an input of 
the current regulating circuit (42) in such a way that a signal 
from the comparator is summed with the analog signal. The 
output signal of the comparator (46) is modulated in syn­
chronism with the voltage pulses and represents a fraction of 
the analog signal so that both signals can be supplied to the cur­
rent loop (12, 14) simultaneously.

Abstract: A modular prefabricated filter/circulating system for in-­
ground swimming pools is provided. The swimming pool circu­
lation system which serves to filter and circulate pool water is 
designed to be prefabricated at the factory and carried to the 
swimming pool site as a package and installed on the swim­
ming pool wall so that one side wall of the prefabricated pack­
age becomes an integral part of the swimming pool wall. The 
system is provided with a skimmer with streamlined faceplate, 
main drain, skimmer filter, main drain filter, skimmer throttle 
valve, quick connect from filter to pump and return, pump, au­
tomatic safety pump shutoff, high efficiency pool returns and 
automatic pool sweep pressure increase mechanism. The sys­
tem is designed to avoid conventional piping and trenches 
therefor normally associated with conventional swimming pool 
filtration systems. The system affords substantial energy sav­
ing and is more reliable and safer. A distinct element employed 
in a preferred embodiment resides in a two-compartment filter 
unit that extends operating life by permitting the function of the 
first compartment filtration to be transferred to the other com­
partment when the first compartment is clogged.
