IPC: B60M1/26
Filed: 1963-04-23
Abstract: 995,512. Tensioning wires. AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS CO. Ltd. March 17, 1964 [April 23, 1963], No. 15996/63. Heading F2G. A fluid pressure tensioning device for wires and cables, and particularly for support wires of overhead conductors, comprises a cylinder 10, a close-fitting hollow plunger 12 having a piston head 13 acted on by a liquid under pressure in an annulus 17 between the plunger and cylinder, and a piston 21 dividing the plunger hollow interior into a gas chamber 23 under pressure and a liquid chamber connected at 25 to said annular space. Initially, liquid, preferably oil, is admitted by valve 27 in sufficient quantity to displace the floating piston slightly from the head of the fully retracted plunger. Air or gas, preferably nitrogen, is pumped through valve 24 until a predetermined pressure exists in the gas chamber. Movement of the plunger relative to the cylinder, which is induced by movement of the floating piston resulting from the expansion or contraction of the gas, compensates for expansion or contraction of a cable attached by the device to a fixed anchorage. The volume and coefficient of expansion of the gas are chosen to maintain a constant cable tension and a restrictive orifice 25, forming the connection between the cylinder/plunger annulus and the liquid chamber, prevents rapid plunger retraction in the event of a cable failure.

Abstract: 767,318. Supply systems for consumption apparatus. WESTINGHOUSE BRAKE & SIGNAL CO., Ltd., and KING, K. G. May 13, 1955 [June 1, 1954], No. 16190/54. Class 38 (4). An alternator 1 having a relatively high internal impedance Z supplies a two-stage magnetic amplifier in which the greater part of the alternator output current is taken by the second stage over lines 5, 7, this stage constituting a waveform distorting load. An impedance Z<SP>1</SP> is connected in series with the circuit connecting the alternator to the second stage, the impedances Z, Z<SP>1</SP> having substantially the same phase angle. The first stage across lines 6, 7, is connected to the alternator through the secondary winding 4 of a transformer 3, the primary winding 2 of which is connected to the terminals of the impedance Z<SP>1</SP>, the transformer being so connected and of such a ratio that the voltage injected into the circuit of the first stage is equal and opposite in phase to that developed across the impedance Z. In this manner, the unwanted coupling between the load causing distortion and the other load is reduced or eliminated whereby non-linearity in the response of the amplifier is prevented. The impedance Z<SP>1</SP> may be equal in magnitude to the internal impedance of the source, in which case the transformer has a transformation ratio of unity. If the impedance of the source is substantially inductive, the impedance Z<SP>1</SP> and the transformer - 3 are replaced by a quadrature transformer, Fig. 2 (not shown). A voltage regulator may control the voltage applied to the first stage of the magnetic amplifier.
