Ep0888025 b1 Method and apparatus for providing partitioned telecommunication...zweisteine777
The document describes a method for partitioning a telecommunications network to allow multiple service providers to share network infrastructure while customizing services for their subscribers. A mobile switching center (MSC) is configured with a partition table associating subscriber identifiers like mobile identification numbers (MINs) with individual service providers. When a mobile station registers, the MSC looks up the associated service provider in the partition table and retrieves subscriber profile information from that service provider's home location register (HLR), allowing each provider to independently maintain subscriber data. This allows network sharing while enabling customized services, features, and voice mail systems for each service provider's subscribers.

Each year in the US, gun deaths total between 30,000 to 40,000 people, with homicides and suicides making up most of the toll. Homicide rates have remained constant while deaths from auto accidents have declined. Over 200 million guns are in circulation in the US despite only around 30% of adults owning guns, as gun owners now own multiple firearms on average. State gun laws vary considerably regarding licensing, permits, and waiting periods. The rise of school shootings and crimes with semi-automatic weapons are fueling the push for stricter nationwide gun control legislation.

Inventors and entrepreneurs have vocations fueled by passion. Many would have done it for free or as a hobby if it hadn’t become a profession. Mark Rosenzweig is a natural creator, driven by his passion. This fuel has led Mark to develop his ideas into viable products and innovations that he has been patenting since 2003. From an innovative filter sensor and indicator for vacuum cleaners to a basket for deep fryer and methods of cooking food products to a compact cyclonic bagless vacuum cleaner. Sometimes independently and often as part of creative teams, Mark has patented just under one hundred innovative inventions between 2003 and 2017.
This document describes floor cleaning and polishing equipment. It has a shaft that is pivotally attached to a base so it can be adjusted to different angles. To achieve an adjustable handle position, the shaft has a retractable rod with an end that can lodge in perforations on an arcuate strip below the shaft end. This immobilizes the shaft at the desired angle. The strip can have two holes to position the shaft upright or at a preset angle, or more holes for additional angles. The strip can also be located under the base for a compact design.
This document describes a patent for improvements in friction couplings used in baling machines and other power driven machines. Specifically, it details a friction coupling that provides an audible alarm when slipping occurs. The coupling has two plates between which are fabric-lined slip discs. When slipping causes the slip discs to rotate, it actuates an audible alarm such as a bell. Alternatively, ratchet teeth on the slip disc can click against a spring to produce an audible warning of slipping. The invention provides a way to detect and warn of slipping in a friction coupling.

Description
[0001] The present invention relates to a mounting ar-
rangement for an axial flow fan, for example a fan de-
signed to cool air flowing through a heat exchange sys-
tem in a vehicle.
[0002] When used in a vehicular application, a fan can
be arranged either to blow air through a heat exchange
system such as a radiator, if the heat exchange system
is on the high-pressure (downstream) side of the fan or
draw air through the heat exchange system if the heat
exchange system is on the low-pressure (upstream) side
of the fan.
[0003] The mounting of the fan is of particular concern
when used to move air in an enclosed engine compart-
ment. More particularly, the fan mounting is required to
prevent noise and other vibrations from being transmitted
between the rotating fan and the vehicle body work. An-
other requirement is that the mounting should, as far as
possible, prevent air from leaking-back around the pe-
riphery of the fan.
[0004] A first object of the present invention is to pro-
vide a fan mounting arrangement which is capable of
providing an improved acoustic noise performance.
[0005] A second object of the present invention is to
provide minimum fan packaging while maintaining, or in-
creasing, the fan system efficiency.
[0006] DE-A-4222264 discloses a mounting arrange-
ment for mounting an axial flow fan to a structure defining
a circular passage, the mounting arrangement having a
plurality of curved arms.
[0007] EP-A-521285 discloses a mounting arrange-
ment for mounting an axial flow fan to a structure defining
a circular passage, the mounting arrangement having a
plurality of arms skewed so as to form the same angle
with respect to a radius of the circular air passage.
[0008] The Supplement of Automobiltechnische
Zeitschrift, AZT 95 Jahrgang /Nr 9, September 1993 de-
scribes a mounting arrangement for mounting an axial
flow fan to a structure defining a circular passage, the
mounting arrangement having three arms, one of them
being skewed.
[0009] According to the present invention there is pro-
vided a mounting arrangement for mounting an axial flow
fan to a structure defining a circular passage according
to the arrangement as claimed in claim 1.
[0010] Preferably the axial flow fan is secured to an
electric drive motor for driving the fan, and the mounting
arrangement supports the drive motor.
[0011] Preferably at least one arm has, at its support
structure end, an attachment finger extending in use par-
allel to the plane of the fan for sliding cooperation with
an attachment socket of said structure.
[0012] Preferably the fan comprises plural blades and
a bowl-shaped hub member having a front wall portion
extending to a peripheral side wall portion and plural in-
ternal radially-extending vane member for circulating air
within said hub member wherein each fan member has
a first portion extending forwardly along the side wall por-
tion and a second portion extending along the front wall.
[0013] Preferably, the fan is secured to an electric mo-
tor for driving the fan, a portion of the motor being dis-
posed within the hub member whereby in use the motor
is cooled by circulation of air caused by the vane mem-
bers.
[0014] Preferably, the fan has plural blades each se-
cured at a tip region thereof to a blade support band hav-
ing a radially-extending bell mouth portion and the struc-
ture defining a circular passage comprises a ring extend-
ing axially towards the bell mouth portion of the fan to
define, with said bell mouth portion, a first annular region
extending axially of the fan.
[0015] For a better understanding of the present inven-
tion and to show how the same may be carried into effect,
reference will now be made by way of example to the
accompanying drawings.
[0016] It is to be noted that Figures 10 and 11 are not

present application to preserve clarity as the description
of the embodiment shown in Figure 12, which is accord-
ing to the present invention, refers to the arrangements
in Figures 10 and 11.

from to an outer band 8 having a generally cylindrical
form.

port band8enclosesthebladesand isgenerally centered
on the axis of rotation of the fan 2. Each blade 6 extends
from a root region 14 secured to the hub 4 to an outer
(or tip) region 16 secured to the inner surface of the blade
support band 8. The tip region 16 of the blades 6 are
joined to the band over the full width of the blades and
not at a single point or over a narrow connecting line.
This increases the strength of the structure.
[0019] The blade support band 8 of the fan adds struc-
tural strength to the fan by supporting the blades at their
tip and also serves to hold air on the working surface of
the blades. The band 8 is of uniform thickness and has
a first axially extending cylindrical portion 9 and an axially
extreme portion 9a which is curved radially outwardly to
provide a bell-mouth, as is best seen in Figure 7.
[0020] The curved portion 9a of the band 8 reduces
losses due to vortices in a gap between the fan and a
shroud member surrounding the fan. The band 8 further-
more provides a uniform flow passage of air flow passing
through the fan and decreases unwanted variations in
the dihedral angle u and the pitch angle (see Figure 6)
of the blade by virtue of the tip support.
[0021] The blades 6 have respective leading edges B
and trailing edges C and are shaped so that they are
secured to the band 8 with the leading edge B tangential
to the curved portion 9a of the band. This can be seen
in Figure 7.
[0022] In use in a vehicular application for engine cool-
ing, the fan can be positioned in front of or behind an
engine cooling heat exchanger system comprising for
example a radiator, condenser and oil cooler. The fan
may be arranged so that air is either blown through the
heat exchanger system if the heat exchanger is on the
high pressure (downstream) side of the fan, or drawn
through the heat exchanger system, if the exchanger is
on the low pressure (upstream) side of the fan. The fan
2 is preferably used in conjunction with a shroud that
extends between the radiator and the outer edge of the
fan. The shroud serves to prevent recirculation of air
around the outer edge of the fan from the high pressure
region at the downstream side of the fan to the low pres-
sure region at the opposite side of the fan adjacent the
radiator. One known shroud structure is funnel-like as
shown for example in US-A-4,358,245. A second shroud
arrangement is shown in Figures 10-12, and will be de-
scribed later herein.
[0023] Reference will first be made to the design of the
hub having regard to Figure 3. The hub has a plastics
moulded body member 18 which defines an outer cylin-
drical hub ring 20 and an inner cylindrical hub ring 22.
The inner and outer hub rings define between them an
annular space 21. The inner cylindrical hub ring 22 has
first and second axially spaced annular ledges 24 and
25 which are directed radially inwardly. The ledges are
provided for supporting a hub insert 10 as described in
more detail hereinafter.
[0024] Referring to Figures 4 and 5, the hub insert 10
can be made of a plastics or metal material and is a body
formed as a solid walled cylinder 26 having a plurality of
peripheral circumferentially spaced protrusions 28 which
form a castellated outer surface. The castellations may
all be in the same plane perpendicular to the insert axis,
or may be in different planes perpendicular to that axis.
The insert 10 defines an aperture 12 having a first cylin-
drical portion and an adjoining portion in the form of a D
shape, that is having an arcuate portion 30 and an op-
posing single flat portion 32. The flat portion 32 is for
keying to a shaft inserted into the aperture 12 whereby
rotation of the shaft with respect to the hub insert 10 is
prevented. The castellated outer surface of the hub insert
10 enables the hub insert to be connected to the plastics
moulded portion 18 of the hub in a single manufacturing
step. That is, a mould defining the plastics moulded body
portion 18 is provided in which the hub insert 10 is placed.
Plastics material is injected into the mould in a known
injection moulding process and enters between the pro-
trusions 28 of the hub insert. Thus, a secure mechanical
connection is provided between the hub insert 10 and
the plastics moulded portion 18. The hub insert 10 pro-
vides a close fit and thus reduces the play between a
shaft inserted into the aperture 12 and the insert 10. This
thus helps preserve the fan balance when rotating and
reduces drift of the fan from true axial rotation.
[0025] Use of a single flat portion 32 is advantageous
in that the hub insert 10, and hence the fan, is always
mounted in the same orientation with respect to the shaft.
Hence balancing measures may be taken, without the
possibility of the fan being refitted after removal in the
opposite orientation, as would be possible if two flat por-
tions were provided on both shaft and hub.
[0026] However, where such considerations are not
significant, two or more flats could be provided, the same
number being present in the shaft.
[0027] Referring again to Figure 3, the annular space
21 between the inner and outer hub rings may accom-
modate the front face of an electrical motor provided to
drive the shaft. The motor is then protected by the mould-
ed portion from the intrusion of moisture and dust.
[0028] The outer surface of the fan hub 4 approximates
to a bowl shape which is more rounded than the straight
cylindrical hubs of the prior art. More particularly, the hub
outer surface has a central shallow depressed region 15
flanked by a substantially straight angled annular region
50. The annular region extends to a substantially planar
annular region 52 which further extends into an outer
cylindrical surface 55 of the hub via a radiussed portion
54. The elimination of a sharp angle at the front part of
the hub reduces vortices forming at the hub surface. The
formation of vortices, knownas "vortex shedding" causes
undesirable turbulence in the flow in the region of the
hub, and gives rise to increased noise levels.
[0029] The minimum extent of the hub in the axial di-
rection is at least equal to the axial blade extent at the
root of the blade 6. The axial extent of the hub 4 and of
the blade support band 8 respectively may vary up to
50% of the axial extent of the band 8.

[0030] The inner surface of the hub moulded portion
18 is provided with a plurality of radially extending ribs,
one of which can be seen in Figure 3 designated by ref-
erence numeral 19. The ribs 19 of which two are provided
for each blade, are curved with the moulded plastics sec-
tion 18 and serve to guide flow recirculating in the rear
part of the hub in an effective manner to cool an electric
motor by dissipating heat generated thereby. The ribs 19
extend radially inwardly towards the inner cylindrical ring
22 and thus also provide structural support for the hub
body and hub insert.
[0031] Referring again to Figures 1 and 2, the blades
of the fan will now be described. As shown in Figure 1,
each blade 6 is rearwardly skewed in that the medial line
of the blade (which is the line obtained by joining the
pointsthat arecircumferentiallyequidistant from thelead-
ing edge B and the trailing edge C of the blade) is curved
in a direction (root to tip) opposite to the direction D of
rotation of the fan 2. The leading and trailing edges B,C
are curved in the same direction. The skew is referred to
herein as the tangential sweep of the blade and is indi-
cated diagrammatically by the angles λ1, λ2 and λ3 in
Figure 8. Furthermore, each blade is secured to the hub
so that the blade lies at a dihedral angle which is illus-
trated diagrammatically by angle m in Figure 6. The di-
hedral angle m is the angle between a tangent between
a tangent P-T to the blade surface and a plane P-Q per-
pendicular to the axis of rotation. Furthermore, the blade
is pitched so that the leading and trailing edges B and C
are not in the same plane. The pitch angle γ alternatively
known as the chord angle is also shown in Figure 6.
[0032] Figure 7 shows in section the blade 6 and the
connection at the root to the hub 4 and at the tip to the
band 8. Figure 7 also shows a variation in the dihedral
angle m such that the dihedral angle decreases with re-
spect to the radius of the fan along the span of the blade
over the first 50% of the innermost radius and then stays
constant for the remaining 50%. As an alternative to the
dihedral angle remaining constant over the remaining
50% of the blade span, it could increase slightly over this
distance.
[0033] Reference will now be made to Figure 8 to de-
scribe the tangential sweep λ of the blade 6. In Figure 8,
the fan origin is indicated as O. The leading edge B of
the blade contains a portion BI at which the tangent D to
the curve passes through the origin. Similarly, the medial
line of the blade 6, shown as curve A, has a point AI, at
which the tangent x to the line passes through the origin,
and the curve C defining the trailing edge has a similar
portion CI extending tangentially to the radial line E.
[0034] Figure 9 illustrates the relationship between the
projection of the chord length at the root 14 of the blade
and that at the tip 16. Ri is the radius of the hub measured
from the fan origin O and θR is the angle subtended by
the root points CR, BR of the trailing and leading edges.
The root chord length projection SR is given by ST=RiθR
where θR is in radians.
[0035] Points CT and BT are the trailing and leading
edge tip points. Radii intersecting these tip points sub-
tend an angle θt. Hence the tip chord length projection is
ST=Rfθt where Rf is the outer fan radius. In the illustrated
embodiment, θR is greater than θt. Advantageously, the
chord length itself gradually increases from the root of
the blade over the first 50% of the span of the blade. The
chord length may then decrease over the whole remain-
ing span, or decrease up to about 70% of the span, after
which it remains constant.
[0036] Referring again to Figure 1, it will be seen that
the blade is pitched so that the leading and trailing edges
B and C are not in the same plane. The angle that the
blade chord makes with the horizontal axis is termed the
chord angle. The chord angle decreases with respect to
the radius of the fan, preferably along the entire blade
length. The projected blade width gradually decreases
from the root of the blade along the span of the blade,
i.e. with increase of blade radius.
[0037] The blade described herein provides a down-
stream variable axial flow velocity which increases con-
tinuously from the hub 4 to the outermost region of the
blade, with the maximum axial velocities occurring over
the span of the blade at the outermost 25-35% of the
blade. This variation enables the performance efficiency
of the fan to be optimised whilst reducing the noise level.
[0038] Referring to Figures 10 and 11, a mounting ar-
rangement for a fan will now be described: -
[0039] Referring first to Figure 10, the mounting ar-
rangment generally consists of an outer annular ring 101
for coupling to the bodywork of a vehicle in which the fan
is to be mounted, for example for coupling adjacent to a
front face member, eg a so-called "plastic", of such a
vehicle, and an inner generally annular ring 102 for sup-
porting an electric motor (110 - see Figure 11) used to
drive the fan. The inner ring is secured to the outer ring
101 by three arms 103, 104, 105, which as shown in
Figure 10 extend generally radially. At the junction of
each arm with the inner ring 102 there is provided a re-
spective hole 106. Each arm is prolonged beyond the
outer periphery of the outer ring 102 to provide a respec-
tive bayonet fastening 107, 108, 109. The bayonet fas-
tenings permit the fan, attached to the mounting arrang-
ment to be axially offered to the counterpart opening of
the vehicle bodywork and then circumferentially rotated
into counterpart bayonet housings on the bodywork.
[0040] Referring now to Figure 11, the fan 4 is shown
secured to the electric drive motor 110, which in turn is
mounted into the inner ring 102 of the mounting arrange-
ment by a bracket 111. The bracket 111 is secured to
the mountingarrangement via asuitablescrew 112pass-
ing through a resilient mounting 130 described later here-
in, contained by hole 106. Wiring (not shown) for the mo-
tor is secured to and supported by one of the arms, so
as not to impede the flow of air. The outer ring 101 ex-
tends beside the cylindrical portion 9 of the blade support
band 8 of the blades to define a narrow annular passage-
way therebetween which extends radially from the band
8. A front face portion 115 of the ring 108 is disposed

immediately behind and adjacent the curved portion 9a
of the blade support band 8. The curved portion 9a of the
band extends radially beyond the innermost radial extent
of ring 101.
[0041] A member 113 consists of a generally annular
ring secured to or integral with the vehicle body 114 and
disposed forwardly of the fan. The ring member 113 has
a lip which extends radially of the fan and back towards
the curved portion 9a of the band 8. Member 113 and
curved portion 9a define another narrow annular pas-
sageway. The vehicle body 114 defines a circular pas-
sageway for receiving the fan, and this surrounds the
circumference of the bell mouth portion 9a to define a
further annular passageway. The assembly of the ring
101, the body 114 and the member 113, together with
the blade support band 8 provides a series of narrow
passages between the front and rear of the fan and
around the edge thereof. These passages form a laby-
rinth, and cooperate to impede blow-past of air. This im-
proves efficiency and reduces noise.
[0042] Continuing to refer to Figure 11, the bolt 112
securing bracket 111 with respect to the inner ring 102
is coupled tothering 102by a two-part resilient mounting,
which consists of a first sleeve 130 having a circumfer-
ential slot extending transversallyof theaxis of the sleeve
130 so that the sleeve is retained grommet-fashion on
ring 102. The sleeve has a radially-inner axial hole which
receives and houses a second sleeve 131, which second
sleeve has a radially-inner axial hole for the bolt 112.
[0043] As mentioned above, with reference to Figure
10 the inner ring is supported with respect to the outer
ring via three arms 103, 104 and 105. Three arms are
used to prevent acoustic coincidence between the
numberof bladesof thefanaswell asprovidingthelowest
impedance to air flow. Lack of acoustic coincidence pre-
vents resonances from forming which would increase
noise, lead to vibration or reduce the efficiency of the
device. The arrangement is both lightweight and rigid.
[0044] Also shown in Figure 11 is the manner of con-
nection of the fan to the motor 110. As shown the motor
has an axially projecting shaft 132 for mounting thereon
of the fan. The shaft has a flattened axial portion for co-
operation with the flat portion 32 of the hub insert and
also has a circular protruding portion embraced by the
circular aperture portion of the hub insert 10. An axially
distal portion of the shaft is threaded to accept a nut 133.
[0045] To mount the fan upon the motor shaft 132, the
motor and the fan are offered together and the fan is
rotated until the flat 32 coincides with the flat portion of
the motor shaft 132. The shaft may then be urged into
the fan, whereby the threaded distal portion projects from
the hub insert 10. The cylindrical part of the shaft is
housed by the circular aperture portion of the hub insert
10, serving to centre the fan. The flat on the shaft coop-
erates with the flat on the insert 10 to rotatably couple
the two together. The nut 133 is then applied to the end
of the shaft and tightened. For compactness the axial
extent of the nut is no greater than the axial extent of the
central shallow depressed region 15 of the hub outer sur-
face. When fully tightened the nut 133 engages with the
axially outer surface of the hub insert 10, rather than en-
gaging with the hub itself.
[0046] Where the fan is to be rotated clockwise, the
thread on the motor shaft and the nut are each left hand-
ed; where the fan is for anticlockwise rotation, right hand-
ed threads are used.
[0047] Referring now to Figure 12 a modification in ac-
cordance with the present invention, of the mounting ar-
rangement of Figure 10 is shown. Similarly to the ar-
rangement shown in Figure 10, the mounting arrange-
ment has an outer ring 101 and an inner ring 102. How-
ever in this case the inner and outer rings are connected
by arms 141, 142 and 143. To further reduce acoustic
co-incidence, the arm 141 forms an acute angle with re-
spect to a radius of the outer ring 101, the arm 142 forms
a less acute angle with a radius of the outer ring 101 and
the third arm 143 is parallel to such a radius.
[0048] Referring now the Figure 13, a hub 400, simi-
larly to hub 4 previously described with respect to Figure
3, carries a central hub insert 10 which defines an aper-
ture 12. The hub member 400 consists of a plastics
moulded body member 180 which has a substantially
planar front wall portion 181 of generally annular form.
The front wall portion 181 extends via a radiussed portion
182 into a peripheral side wall portion 183 which is cir-
cular-cylindrical. Thus the hub body member 180 is gen-
erally bowl-shaped. The peripheral side wall portion 183
supports the root portion of the plural blades of the fan.
[0049] The inner surface of the hub member 180 is
provided with plural radially-extending ribs, similarly to
ribs 19 shown in Figure 3. These ribs are not shown in
Figure 13, but are provided at the rate of one rib per
blade, for example one corresponding to the leading
edge of each blade. The inner surface of the hub member
180 isalso provided withplural internalradially-extending
vane members 190. The vane members 190 which are
provided one per blade are of considerably greater area
than the ribs 19, described herein with respect to Figure
3. The vane members 190 have a first portion 191 which
extends axially from the rearmost extremity of the periph-
eral sidewall portion along the peripheral wall portion to
a second portion 192 which extends radially outwardly
along the inside of the front wall portion 181.
[0050] The first portion 191 has a straight radially-inner
edge 193 which makes an angle J to a plane F-F’ which
is perpendicular to the fan axis. The second portion also
has a straight radially inner edge 194 which makes an
angle G with another plane H-H’ which is parallel to the
plane F-F’. It has been found that increasing the surface
area of the vane members 190 causes an increase of air
flow within the hub, due to action as a turbine. In the
described embodiment the angle J is 60 degrees and the
angle G is 8 degrees.
[0051] As previously herein before described an elec-
tric motor used for driving the fan may be partly accom-
modated within the confines of the hub. Larger vane

members increase the air flow through the motor, thus
enhancing the cooling of the motor. However the partic-
ular shape of the vane members will be determined by
the shape of the motor, since the hub must clear the
motor to allow rotation.
[0052] Accordingly the vane members may have one
or more straight edges, as shown in Figure 13, or may
be partly or wholly curved, either concave or convex ac-
cording to the constraints of the motor, the desired cool-
ing and the constraints imposed by the moulding tech-
nique. Equally the vane members may be aligned with
fan radius, or may be skewed with respect thereto. If
skewed, the vane members may be curved or straight,
and the direction of skew is the same as the direction of
rotation - for example, if the fan rotates clockwise, the tip
of each vane is clockwise with respect to the vane root.
[0053] Secondly the number of vane members can be
increased so as to further enhance the air flow. However
a problem may occur if a large number of large-area vane
members are provided, since the weight of the fan overall
is thereby increased. This adds to the inertia of the fan
and thus requires a larger motor to drive the fan.
[0054] It will also be appreciated that the absolute
number of vane members 190 and ribs- 19 per fan may
be varied, for example providing more than one vane
member per fan blade, or only one vane member for eve-
ry alternate blade.
