Title: Improved Method and Means for Insulating Wire Terminations
IPC: H01R13/405
Filed: 1969-01-06
Abstract: 1,181,770. Two-part couplings. AMP Inc. 6 Jan., 1969 [31 Jan., 1968], No. 766/69. Heading H2E. A method of securing an insulating sleeve to a wire termination by means of a cold-crimping technique is carried out on a machine comprising a block 21, which reciprocates on a guide bar 23, incorporating a feeding device in passageway 25 which feeds a continuous length of sleeving 20 through a passageway 19 into a chamber 18 in a fixed block 16, so that the end of the sleeving length 20 abuts a stop 27. A spring-loaded clamp 22 assists the feeding mechanism. A ram 11 reciprocates vertically so that blade 14, which is secured to the ram 11 operating in slot 15, severs a length of sleeve in the chamber 18. A slot extends sideways from the chamber 18 so that the severed length of sleeve may be transferred laterally, by a piston and cylinder device (30, Fig. 7, not shown) to a position aligned with forming dies 12, 13 secured to the ram 11 which are opposite to dies (12<SP>1</SP>), 13<SP>1</SP> on the block 16; a further transfer plunger (31) fixed to block 21 transfers the sleeve length longitudinally to a position between the dies. A wire termination which is in the form of a tab receptacle having a first ferrule portion which is crimped to a cable conductor and a second ferrule portion crimped to the cable insulation, is manually inserted into the sleeve length to abut the end of the plunger (31), the ram 11 then operating so that the dies cold crimp the sleeve length about the wire termination. The method is worked as a continuous process, the plunger (31) and feeding device both being fixed to the block 21 so that they operate together; similarly, the dies 12, 13 and the blade 14 are both operated by the ram 11. The tip of the plunger (31) may be shouldered so that it will enter the sleeve length and form a stop for the inserted wire termination, which is thus displaced slightly from the end of the sleeve length.

Title: An improved method of manufacturing heat exchanger tubes and improvements in or relating to heat exchanger tubes and to heat exchangers
Inventor: WOOTTON WILLIAM ROBERT
IPC: F22B37/10
Filed: 1960-01-08
Abstract: 894,883. Making composite tubes. BABCOCK & WILCOX Ltd. Jan. 2, 1961 [Jan. 8, 1960], No. 790/60. Class 83 (2). A method of making a long heat-exchanger tube 21 which has inner and outer walls 22 and 24 comprises positioning a first section of a small tube 22a in a first section of large tube 24a so that the end of the small tube projects beyond the end of the large tube, butt-welding a second section of small tube 22b to the first section, and a second section of large tube 24b to the first section of large tube without destroying communication between the annular spaces defined by the first and second sections of tubing, adding and welding at least one further section of each tube 22y and 24y and as the tube is built up bending it into the desired convolutions. Longitudinal communication between the sections is provided by three grooves 23 which may be in the inner or outer tubes. The inner and outer tubes may be of different materials, e.g. stainless steel for the outer tube and mild steel for the inner tube. To prevent weld material 31A obstructing the longitudinal channels a backing-ring 30 may be provided in a groove 31 between the ends of the outer tube sections 24. Alternatively the groove may be in the inner tube 22 at the junction between the outer tube sections (not shown, see Fig. 4). After the tube has been built up, the inner tube is expanded by hydraulic pressure against the elastic deformation of the outer tube to effect plastic deformation of the inner tube to ensure close engagement between the inner and outer tubes. In a modification a split sleeve is positioned between the inner and outer tubes and is introduced section by section and butt-welded as the tube is built up, the split in each section is aligned to provide a continuous longitudinal channel. Fig. 8 shows a double-walled tube 40 which terminates in a leak-detection chamber 41. The outer tube 42 is welded to the chamber and the inner tube is butt-welded to a section of similar tube 46 which is fitted tightly inside an outer strengthening tube 47 which stops short of the outer tube 42 to allow communication between the longitudinal channel 44 and the interior of the box. Pressure-sensitive means connected to the box will indicate leakage of fluid into the channel 44. In a modification, Fig. 9 (not shown), the tube 46 is strengthened by an inner tube 51 which extends to a point level with the end of the outer tube 42. The longitudinal channel may be straight or helical in any of the embodiments.
