Title: Improvements in model railway automatic coupling and uncoupling devices
IPC: B61G1/36
Filed: 1947-02-11
Abstract: 621,012. Couplings for model railways. HOPE, G. A. Feb. 11, 1947, No. 3924. [Class 132 (iii)] A model railway coupling comprises a hook member of non-magnetic material movably mounted on the vehicle and provided with an armature which is acted upon magnetically to control the hook. As shown the coupling comprises a bar member 1 fitted across the buffers 2 of the wagon 3, and a hook 4 made of non-magnetic material pivotally carried at 5 from a bracket 6 beneath the vehicle. The forward end of the hook is formed at its tip with an upwardly turned hook 7 having a bevelled impact face 8. A counterweight 9 is provided to urge the hook against the bar 1 to engage a similar bar on an opposed vehicle. A short length of soft iron chain 10 depends from the hook and is mounted between the bar and the pivot, said chain forming an armature which is attracted by the magnet 10a mounted beneath the track (Fig. 1) or between the sleepers thereof (Fig. 3). The magnet may be permanent or electrically operated. The forward ends of the hooks are deflected so that approaching vehicles do not foul each other. Guide means for the front part of the hook are provided in the vehicle. The armature may be a soft iron rod, depending from or secured to the hook member.

Title: Control apparatus for an internal combustion engine fuel injection system
IPC: F02M69/12
Filed: 1972-01-25
Abstract: 1371762 Regulating I C engine fuel injection JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd 25 Jan 1972 [5 Feb 1971; 2 March 1971] 4094/71 and 5857/71 Heading F1B A plunger 22 for positioning the control stop 11 of a shuttle fuel metering device 10 is engageable at one end 25 with rollers 20 of a cam follower 18 and an arm 23a of a latch 23 pivotally mounted on the cam 14. The follower 18 is movable relative to the cam 14 by an intake manifold pressure responsive diaphragm actuator 21 and the cam is pivotable anti-clockwise about the axis of a spindle 15 by an external control for starting. When the cam 14 is pivoted anti-clockwise the latch projection 29 engages an abutment screw 31a and the latch arm 23a is pivoted out of the path of the plunger 22 and with the follower 18 in its leftmost position the stop 11 provides maximum fuel for starting. With the engine over-running the latch arm 23a is engaged by a pin 27 on the follower 18 and moved out of the path of the plunger 22. On subsequent acceleration the latch projection 29 engages a spring-biased plunger 31 in the screw 31a and pivoting of the latch 23 by the torsion spring 26 is clamped so that the plunger 22 is moved downwardly against the force of the spring 33 to engage the rollers 20 by the fuel pressure biased stop 11 before the cam 23a can move into its path. When the engine is inoperative the spring 33 raises the plunger 22 and the latch arm 23a prevents maximum fuel supply without operation of the cold starting control. In another embodiment, Fig.2 (not shown), the pivoting of the latch 23 by the spring 26 on transition from over-running to acceleration is damped by the restriction of pressure equalization between intake manifold pressure and the pressure in a hollow resilient part-spherical member (35). The hollow member (35) prevents the latch pivoting during over-running by holding the free end of a latch spring (30) fixed to the casing 13. The position and size of the restrictor (36) in the equalization passage (38) controls the damping.

The reaction is preferably carried out in a solvent such as an aliphatic alcohol, ketone or nitrile containing up to 4 carbon atoms or a hydrocarbon such as benzene and toluene and suitable reaction temperatures are between 40 DEG  and 80 DEG  C.  The products in which the X linking CH to P is sulphur may be prepared by reacting the appropriate a -halogen carboxylic acid esters with the salts of the appropriate thiol- or thiolthiono-phosphoric acid diesters.  This reaction may suitably be carried out at between 40 DEG  and 100 DEG C. and in the presence of a solvent such as benzene, toluene, acetone or methyl ethyl ketone.  An excess of the a -halogen carboxylic acid ester may also be used as solvent. Examples are given for the products of the above general formula in which: (1) both X's are sulphur, R11 is C6H5, R is C2H5 and R1 is CH3; (2), (3), (4) and (6) the X linking CH to P is sulphur and the other X is oxygen and in (2) R11 is CH3, R is C2H5 and R1 is CH3; in (3) R11 is CH3, and R and R1 are C2H5, in (4) R11 is C6H5, and R and R1 are C2H5 and in (6) R11 is CH3, R is C6H13 and R1 is CH3; (5) and (7) both X's are sulphur and in (5) R11 is CH3, and R and R1 are C2H5, and in (7) R11 is hydrogen and R and R1 are C2H5; (8) and (9) the X linking CH to P is oxygen and the other X is sulphur, and in (8) R11 is C6H5 and R and R1 are C2H5; and in (9) R11 is CH3 and R and R1 are C2H5.

Dropping mails and other articles from a height.-Merchandise, mails, &c. are carried in compartments in aircraft so as to be held against movement during flight, and may be released by means operated by the pilot, the opening being covered after discharge of the package, so that the streamline contour is maintained. Fig. 1 shows an aeroplane having the fuselage provided with several compartments 7 opening laterally, and each adapted to hold a container 10, Fig. 2. These containers are held against movement by springs 9 bearing against sliding doors 8, the arrangement being such that, when catches 15 are released, the springs eject the containers, and the openings are closed by the doors. The catches 15 may be released by switches operated by the pilot so as to energize solenoids 13. Two or more packages may be arranged in a single compartment so as to be ejected separately. The compartments may open at the bottom, the packages, when released, falling under the action of gravity, and the opening being then closed by a sliding or spring-hinged door. A parachute may be connected to the package, so as to be opened out during the fall. Springs may be fitted in the bottom of a container 10 to hold it against movement and absorb the shock of landing. Fig. 1 shows compartments 7 in the main planes 2, 3. Lights may be provided on the control board to indicate whether the package has dropped.

[Class 110 (iii)] A stand-by turbine driving a generator is kept running in readiness to take up load at a speed which is sufficient for the oil delivery of the main oil pump, and with full vacuum, and the power consumption of the cooling water pumps is reduced by reducing the product H x Q x t where H is the cooling water delivery head, Q the quantity of cooling water, and t the time of working of the pump. The factors H, Q, t may be reduced in various ways. In Fig. I the turbine-driven pump P circulates water through a condenser K and a pipe 1 to a storage St. The head may be reduced by using a short-circuiting pipe 3 which may be manually or automatically controlled. The exhaust of the turbine HT which drives the pump P is used to keep the stand-by turbine TG running ready to take up load. Fig. II shows an arrangement in which the condenser systems of the main turbine M and the stand-by turbine TG are interconnected, KT being cooling towers. When the turbine TG is running idly, its condenser K receives water in a reverse direction through a pipe 2 from the condenser system of the turbine M. The direction of rotation of the pump P may thereby be reversed. The turbine HT is fed with steam tapped from the turbine M. A modification of this interconnected system is described.
