Title: Improvements in or relating to air rifles
IPC: F41B11/73
Filed: 1946-01-24
Abstract: 607,045. Air rifles. BIRMINGHAM SMALL ARMS CO., Ltd., and PERRY, C. A. Jan. 24, 1946, No. 2311. [Class 119] Relates to air rifles of the type having a cylindrical air chamber 10 connected at the forward end to the breech end of a metal barrel and at the rear end to a shoe or holder carried by the stock of the rifle as described in Specification 332,346, [Class 119]. According to the invention, a piston 13 is provided with a cupped flexible non-metallic washer 19 to provide an air-tight seal with the internal wall of the air chamber and engage with an annular lip 27 at the breech end of the barrel to reduce the reaction force. In the air chamber 10, the piston 13 having a cylindrical metal body 14 with a rearwardly extending skirt 15 is mounted on a piston-rod 17. The forward end of the piston is provided with a cup-shaped leather washer 19 in air-sealing engagement with the internal wall of the air-chamber 10, the washer 19 being held in position by a member 21 screw-threaded on to the forward end 22 of the piston-rod. The peripheral face 24 of the member 21 and the adjacent inner face 25 of the washer rim 20 are tapered to provide an annular recess 26 adapted to receive at the end of the forward stroke of the piston a correspondingly shaped annular lip 27 projecting from the rear of the barrel block 11, so that' on impact of the member 21 on the barrel block part of the reaction force is dissipated in displacing the metal lip 27 towards the wall of the air chamber, thus reducing the rearward reaction force and the shearing effect on the shoe or holder of the rifle. A band of synthetic oil-resisting compound may be secured to the periphery of the member 21 to form a ring of shock-absorbing material.

Abstract: 1,178,301. Electrostatic printing. XEROX CORP. 18 Jan., 1967 [26 Jan., 1966], No. 2764/67. Heading B6C. [Also in Division G2] Visible recordings are formed using an electroviscous ink, the viscosity of which is increased when it is exposed to actinic radiation and subjected to an applied electric field, by positioning a container 1 of the ink 2 with its aperture 5 partially defined by a pair of electrodes 3, 4 above the surface of a moving member 16 on which the recording is to be formed, applying an electric field across the electrodes and using a light source which is energized selectively from a signal source 9 to expose the ink between the electrodes and thus modulate the flow of ink on to the member. The ink contains a colour former or is coloured, and preferably consists of a suspension of an organic photo-conductive pigment in an insulating liquid. A line of closely adjacent containers may be provided above the member, and the flow of ink from each arrested by transmitting light, from an original (13) moving past a scanning slit, by either a fibre optic system (25) or by a lens 37, to form a normally positive image of the original on the member, the original being illuminated directly or by a fibre optic system. Negative images may be formed by applying white ink to a black surfaced member, or by connecting an electronic light inverter (26) into the fibre optic system. Voltage signals (e.g. from a computer or sound recording) may be recorded by transduction into light signals which are transmitted to the line of containers by fibre optics.

Class 72 In a process for the reduction of iron ores with a reducing gas consisting of hydrogen and carbon monoxide and having at least 50 per cent hydrogen, in a shaft furnace provided with electrical resistance heating, the waste gas being freed from water and carbon dioxide and recycled, fresh gas being supplied in such proportions of hydrogen and carbon monoxide that the recycled gas contains at least 50 per cent hydrogen, part of the sponge iron in the cold state-is added to the ore at the top of the furnace and fresh reducing gas is introduced into the reducing zone between a lower and an upper electrode. As shown a shaft furnace 1 has a pair of electrodes 2 which may be in the form of grids. Fresh gas may be added from an annular pipe 7 situated immediately below the upper electrode. The hot gas rises through a preheating zone A and is extracted at 9 at a temperature between 100 and 200‹C., after which water vapour and carbon dioxide are removed and the clean gas, which contains more than 50 per cent hydrogen, is returned to the bottom of the furnace where it cools the sponge iron produced arid it itself heated. Some of the sponge iron discharged from the furnace and is returned to the charging end and, together with the sponge iron formed in the zone A, improves the electrical conductivity in the reducing zone B. It is stated that the electric power used in the reducing prcoess is only that required to 'replace heat lost by radiation and to supply the heat required.for the endothermic reaction.
