In apparatus incorporating a plurality of servomotors A, B acting in parallel on a common output member 18, 19, means are provided for isolating any defective servomotor from its power supply in response to an unbalanced torque condition between the servo outputs initiated by the defective servomotor. In each servomotor a transducer 13 moves a piston valve 12 allowing either of two pistons 3, 4 to receive pressure via 8, 9, 10 and 11 or to exhaust via 16 or 17. The pistons act on crank discs 7 having arms 21, 22 which engage a spider 20 on the output shaft 18 through stiff springs 23. Should one servomotor fail, the unbalanced torque compresses a pair of springs and operates an associated micro-switch which energizes a solenoid to move a valve 25 to cut-off the pressure supply at 10 and by-pass the piston cylinders via passage 26. The micro-switch may also operate an indicator showing that the servomotors are not in sympathy. Three or more servomotors may be used.

Abstract: 622,191. Oscillation generators. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. Nov. 8, 1944, No. 21923. Convention date, Nov. 10, 1943. [Classes 40 (v) and 40 (vi)] An oscillation generator has associated with its resonant circuit a reactance valve, whose apparent reactance is stabilized against supply voltage variations by applying a bias voltage proportional to the supply voltage to it. The Figure shows an oscillation generator comprising a valve with a reactance valve associated with the tank circuit, applicable as a frequencymodulation transmitter. The apparent reactance of the valve 25 is maintained constant by taking a portion of the oscillator output, which is assumed to be proportional to the supply potential, applying it to a rectifying diode, and feeding the D.C. voltage obtained through a filter circuit to the grid of valve 25. Valve 25 is made to act as an apparent capacitance by applying the leading voltage developed across resistor 32 to the valve grid through capacitor 33.

Abstract: 219,988. Luma-Werke Akt.-Ges. July 30, 1923, [Convention date]. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Act]. Discharging galvanic batteries; starting prime movers.-In an electric supply system for an automobile, the circuit between the accumulator B and the ignition apparatus A is automatically opened when the internal combustion engine stops, thereby preventing wasteful discharge of the accumulator. During running, a circuit is maintained from the battery B, through contacts b of a relav D to the apparatus A, the relay being excited by the. lighting dynamo C. When the engine stops, the dynamo will cease to energize the relay D thereby interrupting the ignition circuit at the contacts b. A press-button c is pushed when the engine is being started by the handle d, a circuit in shunt with the contacts b being thus closed. When the engine starts, relay D is energized' and button c need no longer be pressed. Closure of contacts h on pressing a button f energizes a switch F which connects a starting motor E to the battery B, and also energizes the relay D, thereby starting the engine electrically. The contacts b may be closed centrifugally by a suitable part of the engine.

Hasp fastenings.-In a hinge or fastening device with a telescopic adjustment of the attachment members such as is described in Specifications 181,170 and 213,722, and wherein means are provided to permit of the movement in either direction, in one direction only and, when desired, to prevent movement in either direction, the means for preventing relative movement in either direction are governed by movement of a hinged member relatively to one of the, other members either alone or in combination with relative longitudinal telescopic movement of said telescopic members. The arangement is described with particular reference to the hinges and fastenings of a trunk of variable capacity. To the knuckle m of the hasp c is secured one end of a spring h that is attached at its other end to a detent member f carried bv the inner telescopic member b. The. outer telescopic member a is provided with a rack g formed with alternate teeth o, p. When the hasp is turned down into the position shown, the member f is rocked so that its detent n engages the rack. The telescopic parts are secured against relative movement in either direction when the detent engages the space between the teeth o, p of the rack and the teeth are designed to enable a locking to be effected without first reversing the telescopic movement of the parts b, a. In the arrangement shown the members a, b may be contracted freely, a reversal of this movement being required to secure a locking action against movement in the other direction, since the detent n does not fall wholly within the space above a tooth o until this opposite movement enables the undercut faces of the teeth n, o to effect a locking engagement. When the hasp is turned back the detent is moved out of the plane of the rack by the action of the spring h. A modified construction is described in which the detent member is pivoted also about a pivot at right-angles to the hinge pin e. In a further modification, also described with reference, to drawings, there are two separate detents for engagement with the rack g, one detent engaging the ratchet teeth of the rack and the other detent with the teeth for effecting locking against relative movement in either direction.
