TITLE A WINDMILL INVENTOR Michael George Acton Bond A windmill is provided having a flywheel attached to the fan shaft and an upwardly extending crank link which is cranked by crank pin mounted off-center on the face of the flywheel. The crank link rocks a rocker beam which may, for example, actuate a pump. The crank link and pump are pivotably attached by sleeves on the rocker beam whereby the am...

A push-to-connect tube connector for interconnecting conduits wherein a male part (12) is received within a female part (10) passage by relative axial displacement. Resilient fingers (30,32) mounted upon one part cooperate with a shoulder (22) defined on the other part to maintain the parts fully connected, seals (24) interposed between the parts prevent leakage, and indicia means in the form of a...

A hydraulic pressure control valve includes a modulator-controlled solenoid assembly which selectively axially displaces a disc armature adjacent thereto. When not attracted by the solenoid, the armature is biased away from the solenoid by a wave spring. Movement of the armature opens and closes the outlet of a lower body member to a source of hydraulic fluid under pressure. The armature is improv...

A holder in the form of an upwardly facing cup dimensioned to tightly receive and carry the lower half of a conventional shoe polish can. The holder is equipped with a strap or the like to attach the holder to the using person's thigh so as to leave both of the user's hands free to attend to the polishing of his shoes. The rim of the cup that receives the lower half of the can is notched to accomm...

Apparatus for booking an elastomer such as a rubber sheet is disclosed. A conveyor has a series of driven rollers. A stop member is positioned to stop the movement of the elastomer by contacting the front end. The stop member may be fixed on a transfer or grasp member, typically a vacuum head which is employed to transfer the elastomer on to a flatcar.

Bonded ceramic matrix composite structures such as ceramic panels or beams, and a method for making them, are described, the structures comprising ceramic facing sheets to which are bonded one or an array of relatively thin-walled, hollow, high-stiffness channeled ceramic support elements, the support elements being of modular design with each support being formed by a continuous composite ceramic...

PURPOSE: To allow a customer to receive a DP bag by means of a coupon, a card or a cash or the like by providing a designation means of the DP bag and plural kinds of settlement means for a charge. CONSTITUTION: When a customer has a coupon, it is inserted to a coupon entry port 28. When no coupon is carried, the customer enters an ID number by using a key board 27. Thus, a DP charge is displayed ...

The processing unit generates a restart signal at a particular duty cycle under proper program execution conditions and at an undesirable duty cycle under improper program execution conditions. The supervising circuit includes a capacitive or like circuit element f...

A PROCESS FOR THE PRODUCTION OF MOLDINGS The present invention relates to a new process for the production of elastomeric polyurethane moldings which may be microcellular having a sealed surface layer and an average density of from 0.8 to 1.4 g/cm3, wherein specific condensation products of ricinoleic acid are used as internal mold release agents.

A bearing sensing device for use in an automatic vehicle guidance system has a lens, such as a fish eye lens (50) or a spherical reflecting lens (60), having a substantial angle of view in elevation and almost a full 360 DEG view in azimuth. Light from the lens (50, 60) is focused onto a substantially annular photo detector (54), which is connected to means for relating a focusing point (72) on t...

A method of controlling one or more automatically controlled vehicles (10) using beacons (14, 24) and receivers (13, 23) (beacons being fixed and receivers on vehicles, or vice versa) uses a sequential switching system such that the effects of malfunctioning or masked beacons (14, 24) or receivers (13, 23) can be allowed for. The beacons sequentially emit signals, intervals between consecutive sig...

A liquid stream 2 from a nozzle 1 is atomized and distributed over a substrate 3. The liquid falls into a downwardly angled chute 10 formed by strong gas jets focussed to a point X. An air-knife 20 directed vertically downwardly in the plane of X atomizes the liquid. Gas-knives 12 and 13 are fired alternately and apply equal but opposite deflections to the liquid, which however remains in the plan...

An improved method for manufacturing concrete blocks and constructing fencing. The method produces a concrete structure which includes two distinct types of complementary irregularly shaped glass particles. The first type of particle has interstices which are filled with vesicles or cavities of varying shape and dimension and which are pierced with a system of canals and capillaries. The canals an...
