Title: Rotatable Work Holder for Machine Tools
IPC: B24B5/42
Filed: 1967-12-20
Abstract: 1,166,539. Rotary work holder. NORTON CO. 20 Dec., 1967 [20 Dec., 1966], No. 57925/67. Heading B3B. A rotary work-holder 118 for holding a crankshaft during grinding of the crank-pins holds the main bearing part W of the crank-shaft eccentrically of the axis of rotation of the workholder between jaws 35, 37 that are clamped together by an hydraulic piston 1. To relieve the clamping pressure of the jaws during indexing of individual crank-pins on to the axis of rotation of the work-holder a further piston 5 of larger diameter is acted upon by the same pressure fluid and moves, until arrested by a shoulder 8, to push back the first piston 1 by means of a sleeve extension 6. A spring 3 acts as a return spring for both pistons. The jaws 37 and 35 may include resilient means 97 and auxiliary clamping elements 91 to ensure gripping of the crank-shaft when the piston 1 is pushed backwards. The hydraulic control circuit includes means for ensuring hydraulic locking of the jaws 37, 35 even if the hydraulic pressure supply fails.

Abstract: 1387900 Coke ovens DIDIER ENG GmbH and BERGWERSVERBAND GmbH 28 Dec 1972 [28 Dec 1971] 59944/72 Heading F4B In a recuperative coke oven the coke chambers 1 are separated by heating walls 2 divided into groups of flues disposed across the width of the wall, each group containing a pair of ascending combustion passages 4, 6 adjacent the coke chambers and one or more descending exhaust passages 5 in the middle which are in heatexchange relationship with the ascending combustion passages, the supply to the ascending passages being by way of recuperators heated by the exhaust gases. Air enters at the bottom of flues 4 and 6 and through shafts 7 and 9 at higher levels. High calorie gas is supplied at 10 to the base of each ascending flue. Each group of flues is associated with a recuperator 16 plated so as to form a downward extension of the flues. The recuperator is a metal heat-exchanger heated by the exhaust gases and having three separately controllable air passages through which combustion air is supplied to the base of the flues 4 and 6 and to the shafts 7 and 9. The amount of heat produced at the different levels can thereby be adjusted to provide uniform heating of the wall. In another form (Figs. 4, 5, not shown), each heating wall is divided by a central longitudinal wall into two separate flue systems, providing two exhaust flues 5 one each side of the central wall.

Title: Crack detection means
IPC: G01B7/16
Filed: 1978-08-12
Abstract: Means for detecting cracks in predetermined positions on the surface of a load bearing structure or a component thereof includes several electrically conducting elements, 2, 5, 9, some of which are electrically connected in series to form groups of elements, bonded to but insulated from said positions on the surface of the structure. Each element or group of elements is provided at its ends with connecting leads 3, 6, 11 electrically connecting the elements to a central site 4 such that each individual circuit may be remotely tested by a continuity testing unit. The elements are bonded to the structure such that cracks forming in the surface beneath them will sever the elements and thus break the electrical continuity. A trip latch may be incorporated in each circuit to ensure that the circuit, once broken, is not remade if the crack closes due, for example, to load changes in the structure. <IMAGE>

Title: Bulb Holder Construction for Vehicle Lamps
IPC: F21V19/00
Filed: 1978-10-13
Abstract: A vehicle lamp has a metal lamp carrier (5) with apertures (11) for at least two lamp bulbs (9), the caps of the bulbs being retained by angled- over guide lugs (13) at diametrically opposite regions of each aperture. A synthetic plastics holder body (4) at each aperture has a receiving opening or recess (12) for the lamp bulb there, the holder bodies being integrally moulded in a common housing (3). Each opening or recess has an internal cross-section greater than the bulb cap diameter but projections (20 to 23) extend inwardly therein, initially to a diameter less than the bulb cap diameter. After assembly of the holder bodies with the lamp carrier, material from at least some of the projections is removed or displaced to the diameter of the bulb cap and coaxially with the guide lugs, to permit the bulb cap to be inserted in the recess and be radially located by said projections. <IMAGE>

Title: Insulated heat shield and convector unit
IPC: E04B1/76
Filed: 1978-11-29
Abstract: An insulating panel is described comprising an insulating layer (26) typically of expanded polystyrene or foamed polyurethane to which is secured a heat absorbing panel (18) with a space between the two through which air can pass. The unit is adapted to be fitted on a wall (14) between the wall and a radiator panel (12) with the insulating panel in contact with the wall. Heat from the radiator panel warms up the heat absorbing panel (18) and warms the air in the air space or spaces between the panel (18) and the insulating panel (26). An improvement in efficiency is obtained by applying a highly reflective surface to the radiator-facing surface of the insulating panel either by means of a metal sheet (24) or by means of a metalised paint coating thereon. A preferred embodiment of the invention uses a black heavy grade impregnated paper sheet as the heat absorbing panel. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for arc butt welding
IPC: B23K9/08
Filed: 1979-11-14
Abstract: In a method of joining two workpieces (A and B) an arc 18a is struck between the two faces 10 and 12 to be joined. The arc is moved around the faces as a consequence of magnetic fields set up by magnetising solenoids (14 and 16), another position of the arc during its rotary movement being shown at 18b. The two faces to be joined are relatively moved, preferably orbitally, in a plane parallel to the faces such that the overlapping area of the two faces changes during the arc heating period. In this way, the magnetic field and the relative movement constrain the arc roots to move over substantially the whole of each face. When the faces are at a suitable temperature they are aligned and a forging pressure is applied. The invention can be applied to the joining of tubular or non-tubular (eg strip) workpieces. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2038433-A (GB)
Title: Brake Pressure Regulator
IPC: B60T11/34
Filed: 1979-11-29
Abstract: A brake pressure regulator including an inlet 2 and an outlet chamber 36 separated by an elastomeric valve seat ring 12, which is closable, by a valve plate 8 carried by a valve piston 6. In dependence on the relationship between the diameters d1 and d3, the regulator can be a brake pressure reducer (as shown) or a brake pressure limiter (d3=d1). When the pressure in the inlet chamber is decreased below that in the outlet chamber, the valve seat ring 12 is deformed into the inlet chamber 2 thereby re-opening passage 16 for pressure compensation. Movement of the valve plate 8 is limited by a stop 25 which engages the piston 6. The valve seat ring 12 is fixed between a shoulder 11 and a screwed plug or as shown, a piston is interposed between the ring and the plug 13', the piston being urged towards the ring by the pressure in the other brake circuit to that in which the pressure is regulated, so that upon failure of the other brake circuit the effect of the regulator is neutralized. <IMAGE>
