Title: Devices for guiding vehicles
IPC: B62D1/26
Filed: 1972-03-03
Abstract: 1341150 Steering vehicles LE MATERIEL DE VOIRIE 3 March 1972 [12 March 1971] 10126/72 Heading B7H  A device for guiding a vehicle, e.g. a road sweeper, so that it follows, at a constant spacing from, a vertical surface, e.g. a kerb, includes a linkage system which can be set by the driver either in an inoperative position or an operative position in which a feeler wheel 13 is resiliently urged against the kerb, movement of the wheel 13 towards the vehicle when the vehicle deviates towards the kerb causing a steering control system to steer the vehicle away from the kerb. As described a cross member 8 is mounted by arms 2, 3 on a beam 1 fixed to the front of the vehicle. The feeler wheel 13 is carried by an arm 12 which is pivoted at 11 to an arm 10 which in turn is pivoted at 9 to the cross member 8. The height of the arm 12 is determined by a ground engaging wheel 15. The assembly can be moved between the operative position (shown in full lines) and the inoperative position (shown in dotted lines) by an air motor 21 supplied with air from an accumulator 20 and controlled by a valve 24. When the assembly is in its operative position and the vehicle deviates towards the kerb movement of the feeler wheel 13 towards the vehicle causes a cam 27 on an extension 26 of the arm 2 to operate a pressure regulator 28 which controls the pressure of air supplied to an air motor 29, the pressure progressively increasing as the wheel 13 moves towards the vehicle. The motor 29 is connected by lever 30 to the steering linkage 31 such that operation of the motor 29 steers the vehicle away from the kerb. Thus any deviation of the vehicle towards the kerb is corrected by the motor 29.

Abstract: 1468063 Multi-car control WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP 12 March 1974 [12 March 1973] 10982/74 Heading G3N The disclosure is the same as that of Specification 1468061 but the claims are concerned with the transfer of floor calls from one car which already had service demands, to which such call was previously allocated, { under control of subprogram (ACL), Fig. 4 (not shown) } , to another car with other service demands, when the latter car becomes closer to the floor call than the former. The call is deleted from the assignment register of the first car, only if such car has no car calls registered in it, so that the car then becomes available for assignment { under control of sub-program (ACR, Fig. 4) } . To ensure that a "demand" signal, indicating the existence of floor calls which have not been allocated to cars already with service demands, is produced whenever the number of down floor calls exceeds the number of cars, each car is conditioned to receive only one allocation of such floor calls, the required "demand" thus being produced automatically. When cars are allocated according to a zoning scheme, floor calls in a zone being allocated to a car providing service in the zone, some of the zones being distinguished for up, or down calls, see Fig. 15, the zones are distinguished by a code number.
