Abstract

994,101. Controlling fluid flow. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Dec. 5, 1963 [Dec.10, 1962], No. 48027/63. Heading G3H. A fluid switch for gas or liquid and suitable for use in binary computors has a nozzle 15 for a power stream which may be directed to either of a pair of outlets 17, 18 under electromagnetic or fluid control. A wall 22 is set back from the nozzle 15 so that the power stream is normally drawn towards that wall by the creation of a low pressure region and flows to the outlet 18. This flow causes a flexible strip 23 of magnetic material anchored at its lower end, to bend so that it lies approximately parallel to the wall 22. If now an electromagnet 30 is energized to attract the strip to the position shown the power stream will be switched to the outlet 17 until the electromagnet is deenergized. The power stream can also be deflected by the application of a fluid pulse to a control nozzle 19. This will cause the stream to switch to the outlet 17 and the strip 23 to straighten until the pulses ceases, when the stream will revert to the outlet 18. The free end of the strip 23 may coact with electric switch contacts. The electromagnet has non-magnetic tips 31 to prevent attraction of the strip 23 by residual magnetism.
