Filed: 1961-03-07
Abstract: 939,697. Reciprocating pumps. CESKOSLOVENSKE ZAVODY NAFTOVYCH MOTORU PRAHA, NARODNI PODNIK. March 7, 1961 [March 11, 1960], No. 8354/61. Class 102(1). A Diesel engine injection pump has a lowpressure spill port 9 in the wall of the cylinder 2 and a groove 14 in the piston 3 is arranged to communicate with the port 9 during a part of the piston stroke. The piston 3 had a recess 3<SP>11</SP> which, when the piston is at its lowest position, partially opens the port 9 to the pressure chamber 2<SP>1</SP>. This permits vapour entrained in the fuel to escape through the port. The groove 14 is filled with fuel which has by-passed the land 16 and this fuel is discharged into the port 9 during the delivery stroke. The fuel is then returned to the reservoir.

Filed: 1959-03-11
Abstract: 887,062. Children's baths. GUY, E. G. March 11, 1959, No. 8372/59. Class 26. In apparatus for suspending a bath over a support or larger bath the suspended bath rests in a rigid inner framework firmly held at its ends by sliding bolts in a rigid outer framework resting on and supported by the rim of the support or outer bath. In the form shown the outer framework is extended along the rim beyond the length of the inner framework and may be altered in length by removing the intermediate parts of one or more of the bars 1, 22, 66 and 67, forming the longer sides, and joined to bars 12, 13 and 14. Sliding bolts 41, 42, 43 and three more such as 44, in groups on the outer framework, approach or contact the sides of the support or bath 19 to prevent the latter from moving across the rims thereof. The sliding bolts in any group are operated by moving a framework 47 to which they are fitted, and are held in position by turning the bolt 41. Flanges 6 are attached by adjusting screws 17 to the bars 1 and 22 for raising or lowering them, whereby the framework fits on flat or shaped supporting rims and does not roll or revolve thereon. It may be moved along the rims by means of castors 64 on legs 53 which may be brought into or out of contact with the rims to move the apparatus therealong or keep it immovable by having slidable sleeves 59 on which the legs 53 hinge by means of spherical parts 55. The inner framework of bars 23, 24, 25, 26 and 27 is held in position in the outer by groups of sliding bolts on the latter, supports the suspended bath 21 by means of the bars 28, 29 attached thereto, and may be inverted to empty the bath 21.

Title: Improvements in or relating to sectional masts
IPC: E04H12/34
Filed: 1930-03-18
Abstract: 350,596. Erecting masts. ASTON, C. J., c/o Lloyds Bank, 6, Pall Mall, London. March 18, 1930, No. 8735. [Class 78 (ii).] Guys Gl, G2, G3 are attached to one or more of the sections of a sectional mast and are passed round pulleys P1, P2, P3 anchored around the mast base to a controlling sectional drum MS disposed near the mast base. Each section of the drum is separated by flanges from the adjacent sections, the distance between adjacent flanges being slightly more than the diameter of the guys so that each turn of a guy lies upon the preceding one. The drum MS has also a section for a control rope CR which is wound on as the guys are unwound and vice versa. The lower end of each mast section 7, Fig. 4, is formed with an enlargement 8 to receive the upper end of the adjacent lower section. This enlargement is strengthened by a ring 9 of diameter D1 which is slightly less than the diameter D, Fig. 2, of a cup in a bracket 3 movable along a derrick 1 by hoisting mechanism W. The sides 4 of the bracket are hinged at 5 to the cylindrical part 3, and are coupled by a pin 6. The base of the first section is placed in the cup on the bracket and the winch W actuated whilst the guys are kept taut by the control rope. When the bracket reaches the upper limit of its movement, the winch W is locked while the top end of the second section is passed through the bottom of the cup and connected to the lower end of the first section. The bell end 8 of the second section is also slipped over the end of a part 20, Fig. 5, which passes through the middle of the drum MS and rests on the ground. The bracket 3 is now opened, lowered, engaged with the base of the second section, closed, and again hoisted. This sequence of operations is continued until the whole mast has been erected. The dram frame is then swung about the base 12 of the derrick, the part 20 removed from the drum and replaced below the mast which is next lowered on to it. The derrick, bracket, drum, &c., may then be taken away after the guys have been clipped to the pegs used for anchoring the pulleys P1, P2, P3. In a modification the bracket has hooks adapted to engage the ends of a transverse pin passing through a spigot or similar ended mast section.

Abstract: 1,179,407. Geiger-Mucller counters. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. Feb.21, 1967 [Feb. 28, 1966], No. 8767/66. Heading G1A. In a Geiger-Mueller counter having a straight wire anode within a cylindrical cathode where the position along the lengths of the counter of an ionization due to impinging radiation is determined by determining the relative proportion of charge collected on the anode which flow to the two ends of the anode as described in Specification 1,179, 406, the present invention provides glass beads spaced along the wire anode to prevent the discharge resulting from the ionizing event from spreading along the anode. The relative proportions of charge are determined by measuring the charge flowing to each end of the anode or alternatively to one end only and measuring the charge collected by the cathode.
