Abstract: 913,183. Pipe-sheathed cables. ANACONDA WIRE & CABLE CO. May 15, 1961 [Oct. 6, 1960], No. 17579/61. Class 36. A pipe-sheathed cable has the core conductor covered with insulation on which is wound a plurality of tensile tapes served in a long lay, around the tapes being wound a skid wire. The core comprises a stranded conductor wrapped, one above the other, with a carbon-black paper tape, a heavy layer of oil-impregnated paper, a semi-conducting carbon-black paper tape and a shielding copper tape intercolated with moisturesealing tape. The portion of the cable core in a vertical part 28 of the pipe sheathing is armoured by completely wrapping it with tensile tapes 17 preferably of stainless steel with a long lay, and a skid wire 18 is wound on the whole length of the cable including the vertical section. At the upper end of the vertical section of the cable the free tape ends are secured in a clamp 42 welded to the inside of the pipe while, at the lower end, the free tape ends are terminated by pulling them over one turn of the skid wire and retaining them under an adjacent turn of the same.

Title: Preparation of ethyl aluminium compounds
IPC: C07F5/06
Filed: 1956-06-07
Abstract: Alkyl aluminium compounds are prepared by treating aluminium metal with hydrogen and ethylene in the presence of an alkylated aluminium compound having at least two alkyl substituents. Preferably the aluminium is comminuted under an atmosphere of nitrogen, argon or methane from which oxygen and moisture are excluded.  Reaction may be conducted at a temperature between 30 DEG  and 130 DEG  C. and at a pressure between 10 and 300 atmospheres.  The products may be aluminium trialkyls or alkyl aluminium hydrides. Catalysts such as iodine, alkyl iodides, metallic iodides (e.g. lead iodide), amines, inorganic ammonium salts such as ammonium chloride and ammonium iodide, quaternary ammonium salts such as tetraethylammonium chloride, aluminium compounds such as aluminium chloride and iodide, alkyl aluminium halides such as ethyl aluminium sesquichloride, and compounds such as gallium trichloride, ferric iodide and ferric chloride.  If desired, the reaction may be carried out in inert solvents such as alkane petroleum fractions, mineral oil, kerosene and naphtha.

Title: Improvements in distributing valves and valve-gear for rock drills
IPC: E21B1/30
Filed: 1931-06-25
Abstract: 370,749. Valve gear for rock drills. INCERSOLL-RAND. CO., 15, Exchange Place, Jersey City, New Jersey, U.S.A. June 25, 1931, No. 18369. Convention date, Nov. 11, 1930. [Class 122 (ii).] A percussive rock drill is provided with a differential slide valve having a flange controlling the inlet to both ends of the cylinder and constructed so as to assure a greater flow of pressure fluid to the rear end of the cylinder than to the forward end. The sides of the flange form holding-area ; the ends of the valve constitute throwing - areas. The piston chamber C is closed by a bush E which guides the stem F of the piston D. A chuck J transmits the rotary piston motion to the tool. The cylinder is provided with an enlarged rear bore K containing a supply reservoir T, a ratchet ring W, and the head Z of a rifle bar b with which the piston D is slidably interlocked. The valve-chest comprises a block u and a plate V which forms a seat for the ratchet ring W. A bushing c is disposed in the block v and the plate V to act as a renewable bearing-surface for the bar b and to prevent leakage. The distributing- valve slides on the bushing c and has an intermediate flange g which controls the port h of the supply passage j. The valve has a forward head k of reduced diameter which works in a chamber p connected by a passage t to the cylinder, and a smaller rear hnad q which works in a chamber s connected to the cylinder by a passage u. The passages s, t have atmospheric vents w, v and are controlled by the piston. Passages x, y for inlet and exhaust lead to the cylinder ends. Passages at the end of the valve-chest communicate with the main exhaust B<1>. The flange g on the valve controlling the supply has annular recesses z, 2 which leave a stepped portion 3 in slidable engagement with the wall of the chamber d. The recess z which controls the supply to the rear of the piston is of greater depth than the recess 2 to ensure a greater flow of fluid. The opposite sides of the flange g act as holding-areas. The valve is thrown by pressure fluid supplied to the ends of the valves acting against the resistance of the fluid on the head g, the valve-throwing fluid in the chambers s, p escaping through the vents v, w respectively.

Title: Improvements relating to the fractionation of hydrocarbon mixtures
Inventor: DEMEESTER JACQUES
IPC: C10G7/06
Filed: 1963-05-09
Abstract: Hydrocarbon distillates, boiling above 150 DEG  C. and containing at least two types of hydro carbons selected from aromatics, naphthenes and paraffins, are redistilled at a subatmospheric pressure below the original distillation pressure such that aromatics distil at relatively lower temperatures than naphthenes and naphthenes lower than parrafins.  The redistillation pressure is preferably less than 1/10 of the original pressure and below 100 mm. Hg.  The boiling range of the fraction treated is preferably of the order of the boiling point difference anticipated to occur between the various components due to the change in pressure.  If desired naphthenes may be dehydrogenated to aromatics and after separation rehydrogenated. Lubricating oils may be separated into fractions having different characteristics which may then be reblended to obtain oils of desired properties, gas oils may be treated to obtain products of higher gravity and lower pour point, cloud point and wax content and waxes may be de-oiled.

Abstract: 370,272. Sewing-machines. FAIRWEATHER, W., 65, Chancery Lane, London. -(Singer Manufacturing Co. ; Elizabeth, New Jersey, U.S.A.) July 1, 1931, No. 18969. [Class 112.] Doubleloop stitching.-Manually operated means are provided to move bodily an oscillatory looper-carrier on its driving shaft to move the looper away from the needle into an easy threading position. As described for a two needle double loop stitching-machine the loopers 14 are mounted on a looper-carrier 9 which is angularly adjusted, by set-screws 12 engaging a web 13 thereon, relatively to a looper-carrier support 7, which fits over a pin 5 normal to a sleeve 4 mounted for lengthwise movement on an inclined crank 3, on a rotary looper driving shaft 2. A bearing pin 8 rigid with the support 7 and normal to the pin 5 is mounted to rock and slide in an eccentric aperture 20 in a sleeve 21 mounted for turning movement in a frame member 22 of the machine, under the manual operation of a knob 24 secured to its outer end. A spring-pressed pin 26 engaging a semicircular recess 25 in the underside of the knob serves to limit rotary movement of the sleeve 21 to half a revolution, to move the looper-carrier 9 bodily from one limiting position to the other, and to hold it, by a recess 27, with the loopers 14 in the sewing position. No destructive clashing of the moving parts can occur if the shaft 2 is rotated with the loopers thrown out, and locking means to prevent such rotation are therefore rendered unnecessary.

Abstract: 256,259. Allgemeine Electricitõts- Ges. July 31, 1925, [Convention date]. Electricity, gas, and liquids, supplying by meter; mechanism for prepaying rent of meter; price-change mechanism.-In order to induce a uniform yearly consumption the mechanism for charging a rental fee in a prepayment meter and the measuring-out mechanism are both provided with price-charge mechanism whereby a high rental fee can be charged in times of low consumption and a high price per unit for the commodity in times of high total consumption. The prepayment shaft v, Fig. 2, is controlled by the normal differential gearing 1, 2, 11, the sun-wheel 1 being actuated by the coin mechanism and the sun-wheel 11 by the meter and by an operating mechanism independent of the load which latter returns the shaft v proportionally to the rental fee. The meter shaft z transmits motion to the sun-wheel 11 through a worm gearing 5, pinion 6 and sun-wheel 7 of a second differential gearing 7, 8, 9 which is geared to the sun-wheel 11 by a pinion 10. The shaft u of the independent driving mechanism which may be a clock or time meter acts on the sun-wheel 9 through wormgearing 17 and pinions 12 - - 16. The unit price of the commodity may be changed by altering the gearing between the meter shaft z and the sun-wheel 7, or by changing the coin to be inserted. The rental fee may be determined by altering the gear between the shaft u and the wheel 9 or by altering the speed of rotation of the shaft u. The rental fee and the price per unit may be simultaneously changed and the pricechange mechanisms may be so connected that an alteration in one produces an alteration in the other.
