Title: Improvements in or relating to vehicle transporters
IPC: B61D3/18
Filed: 1955-02-25
Abstract: 765,275. Loading vehicles on vehicles; ramps. SOC. POUR L'UNION DES TRANSPORTS FERROVIAIRES ET ROUTIERS. Feb. 25, 1955 [March 3, 1954], No. 5760/55. Classes 78 (3) and 78 (4). Auxiliary wheels 2, Fig. 1, by which a wheeled vehicle is supported on rails 3 carried by a rail vehicle are mounted between the normal wheels so that the rails 3 may comprise parts of the frame of the rail vehicle. As illustrated the frame of the rail vehicle comprises a central boxsection girder 6 connected by cross-members to side beams 4, 5, the upper parts of which form the rails 3. In an alternative construction, however, the frame comprises only side beams joined by transverse members and forming the rails 3. The auxiliary wheels 2 may be the brake drums. The usual front wheels of a semitrailer may also run on the track 3. Vehicles may be aligned with the rails 3 as they are wheeled on to the rail vehicle from a fixed platform by a tongue 16, Figs. 5 and 6, carried by the fixed platform and mounted above plates 21 carried by rollers 22 so that they may move laterally against the bias of centralizing springs when the wheels of a vehicle resting on them are pushed sideways by the tongue 16. The auxiliary wheels of a vehicle are thus guided on to ramps 18 flanking the tongue 16 and aligned with the rails 3. Alternatively the laterally moving plates 21 may be omitted and the tongues 16, together with its associated ramps 18, may be mounted for bodily or pivotal movement into alignment with the wheels of the vehicle which are thus guided up the ramps 18, after which springs return the tongue 16, together with the vehicle wheels, into alignment with the rails 3. The centring device of Fig. 5, or similar devices, may be mounted on an auxiliary rail truck placed to form an extension of the loading platform or may be placed at the ends of a truck forming part of a train but with a platform on to which the vehicles may be run from the fixed loading platform so that the remainder of the train may be loaded from this truck. Hinged gangways may cover the gaps between the trucks in a train and may be arranged to rest, when in use, on single central couplings provided between the trucks.

Title: Improvements in or relating to fluid pressure remote control systems
IPC: B64C25/22
Filed: 1941-05-07
Abstract: 549,211. Hydraulic machines ; valves. CLEVELAND, F. J. (Bendix Aviation Corporation). May 7, 1941, No. 5938. [A Specification was laid open to inspection under Sect. 91 of the Acts, Nov. 8, 1941.] [Classes 69 (ii) and 135] [Also in Group XXXIII] For synchronizing the movements of two or more elements of an aircraft control or a landing gear a self-adjusting valve described below is inserted between the pump and the power cylinders of a hydraulic servomotor to secure equality of flow to the cylinders. A system is described comprising two double-acting jacks fed through two reversing valves from pipes 38, 39 leading from a valve casing 22 supplied with pressure fluid through a pipe 21. Passages 23, 24, 25 are formed in the walls of the casing which has a cylindrical liner 27 in which slides a grooved piston 26. Holes 33, 34 in the liner admit pressure fluid to the grooves in the piston, the fluid issuing through longitudinally arranged narrow slits 36, 37 in the liner to the passages 24, 25 and the pipes 38, 39. Any increase of flow through one slit or the other causes a fall of pressure in the passages 24 or 25 and consequently on the corresponding end of the piston which then moves to correct the inequality. This subject-matter appears also in the Specification, corresponding to the Provisional Specification, placed open to inspection under Sect. 91 on the 8th November, 1941. The following subjectmatter appears only in the Specification as accepted. Fig. 4 shows a modified valve in which pressure fluid through a pipe 21a can flow directly to a passage 60 and past non-return valves 54 55 to the pipes 38a, 39a, but return flow through the two pipes 38a, 39a, is equalized by the valve 26 which is similar to that shown in Fig. 1 except that it has a single central groove 49. Two such valve devices are shown in Fig. 6 connected to opposite ends of two jacks 13, 14 the two inlets 21a being connected by pipes 66, 67 to a valve 65. This valve places the two pipes alternatively into communication with the pressure and reservoir sides 64, 68 of a pump system including an accumulator 62 and in either case the return flow from the jacks is controlled by one of the valves 26 while the pressure fluid has free access through the valves 54, 55 to the appropriate ends of the two jacks. Should unequal but proportionate flow through the two branches be required the slits 36, 37 are made of different shapes or sizes or the areas of the valve ends exposed to the fluid pressure may differ.

Abstract: 1,100,402. Packaging-machines. EASTMAN KODAK CO. 11 Feb., 1965 [11 Feb., 1964], No. 5967/65. Heading B8C. articles 39 (Fig. 1) are fed into a folded strip 12 which is then sealed transversely at 56 and wound on to a flanged reel 66. In the embodiment described the strip 12 is maintained under tension by means of sprung rollers 18 and 62, and is driven intermittently by a roller 14. After an article 39 has slid down the shoot 37 it operates a photo-electric cell 40 which causes it to be blown into the folded strip 12. An arm 35 serves as a guide for the article 39 and as the spreading device for the folded strip. The presence of the article 39 in the strip 12 operates a second photo-electric cell 46 causing the strip to be moved downwards, and transversely sealed by members 52 and 54. The slack which has thus developed in the strip is taken up automatically by the driven reel 66. The timer 30 which controls the feed of the strip may be adjusted for different size articles, and the photo-electric cell 46 may be replaced by a sensing device 58. The heat seals 56 do not reach the longitudinal edges of the strip 12 to assist in the removal of the article 39 from the strip and the end 57 of the package is not sealed.
