Abstract: A conductive polymeric heat recoverable article is provided with electrodes (10) on its surface. The electrodes (10) can be connected to a source of electrical power to cause current to flow through the article to heat and hence to recover the article. However the arrangement is such that although the regions of the article immediately beneath the electrodes (10) may comprise heat recoverable material, those regions are not heated to a temperature sufficient to recover them. Therefore although the region of the article between the electrodes (2', 2'') recovers, the regions immediately beneath the electrodes (10) do not. So the electrodes (10) remain in contact with the article.

Abstract: A triple-layer papermaking fabric includes top and a bottom weft yarn layers interwoven with a system of warp yarns. The warp yarn system includes pairs of associated, stacked first and second warp yarns. The first warp yarn in each pair interweaves with the top weft yarns in a plain-weave pattern occasionally broken by an interweaving with a bottom weft yarn to join the top and bottom weft yarn layers together. The second warp yarn in each pair, ordinarily running between the top and bottom weft yarn layers and stacked below the first warp yarn, weaves over the top weft yarn skipped by the first warp yarn when it weaves down under a bottom weft yarn to maintain the plain-weave character of the top surface of the fabric. The second warp yarn never weaves with the bottom weft yarns. The fabric is flat-woven, and subsequently seamed into endless form. The first warp yarns have an exaggerated crimp to provide the fabric with an enhanced seam strength. The second warp yarns, having relatively little crimp, provide the fabric with an enhanced stretch resistance.   <MATH>

Title: Improvements in or relating to the heat treatment of metal articles
IPC: C21D1/09
Filed: 1941-02-06
Abstract: 547,025. Heat-treating ; case-hardening ; electric heating. PRESSED STEEL CO., Ltd., SIMMIE, W. S., and MURRAY. G. Feb. 6. 1941, No. 1567. [Class 72] [Also in Group XI] In the heat treatment of metal articles, the article, or a part thereof, is heated to a predetermined temperature by the passage of electric current therethrough and thereafter the flow of current is maintained at the same value but intermittently. The article, or part thereof, is mounted between the shaped ends of electrodes or electrical conducting dies and may be coated before treatment with a standard hardening or carburizing compound. The treated article is then placed in a quenching bath. As applied to the case-hardening of the operative surfaces of a ratchet wheel, a standard casehardening compound made into a paste with amyl alcohol is brushed on to the surface of the tooth 13 to be hardened, the wheel 10 being fixed to a backing plate 11 adapted to be rotated step-by-step with the greater part of its lower part immersed in a quenching bath 12. The tooth 13 to be treated is then held between electrodes 16, 17, the latter being moved into contact with the tooth by compressed air operating in the cylinder 21. A heavy low-voltage current from the secondary 31 of a transformer F is passed through the electrode and after the carburizing temperature has been reached the initial heating is replaced by short intermittent applications of the current of the same value applied for a predetermined period according to the depth of case-hardening required. The current is then cut off, the electrodes moved apart, the plate 11 rotated to immerse the treated tooth 13 in the tank 12 and then the next tooth is treated similarly. In the apparatus shown in Fig. 3, the switch K of the transformer F3, similar to the transformer F, Fig. 2, is controlled by a timer comprising units T3 and T31 operating in tandem and a rotating time switch R. The' supply of air to the cylinder 21 is initiated by a switch 19 and air pressure builds up in the cylinder and passes by way of an auxiliary air line to close an air-controlled switch H3 and thus the timer circuit. The unit T3 energizes via contacts 30 the coil C of the switch K which is closed and causes current to flow through the transformer F3 to the electrodes 16, 17. After a predetermined interval, the contacts 30 open, the coil C de-energizes and the unit T31 is operated to control through the rotary switch R the intermittent operation of the coil C which is controlled through the leads 31, 32, the common element of a plug box 33 and thence by a selected plug 34 to a segment 35 on a ring 36 connected by a lead 37 to the timer T3. Each time the rotary arm on the ring 36 passes over this segment 35 the coil C will be energized. When the unit T3 has been in operation for a predetermined time the switch K is no longer actuated, the air pressure is released and the plate 11 rotated as before to bring another tooth between the electrodes 16, 17.

Abstract: 227,630. Frommer, R. von. Jan. 21, 1924. Breech actions, sliding breech-block; sliding barrel and breech-block.-Automatic guns of the kind having a grip safety device are provided with means for locking the safety device, during the opening and closing of the breech, to prevent movement of the safety device due to the rebound from actuating the firing-mechanism. As shown, the grip lever 32 has a shoulder 34 adapted, before the lever is pressed in, to engage a nose 35 on the sear-operating link 1. When the gun has been fired, the projection 34 is in front of the nose 35, as shown in Fig. 1, and rearward movement of the lever 32 would actuate the link 1. To prevent this, the lever is looked in the forward position by the interrupter 29 which is pressed down by the breech-block so that a projection 30 engages a projection 33 on the lever, as shown in Fig. 6. When the breech is locked, the interrupter rises into a notch 28 in the breech-block. The interrupter may also be adapted to lock a part of the firing mechanism. The hammer 13, sear 8, and link 1 are controlled by separate springs 16, 10, and 2, Fig. 5, respectively, all mounted in recesses in a single case 3 fixed to the breech frame. The link 19, which transmits spring pressure to the hammer, has a forked end, the front arm 21 limiting the movement of the hammer when the breechblock is removed.

In the form shown in Fig. 2, the angularly-formed faces f<1>, f<2> are formed on the distance piece f secured between the jaw portions of the U-shaped jaw member d. By turning the other jaw member c so that its shank c contacts with the face f<2>, the notched rear edge, c<1> is disengaged from the pivot h, thus allowing free adjustment. The shank c may be widened out at c<2> to prevent disconnexion of the two members. In the form shown in Fig. 4, the guide consists of a plurality of pins f<3>, arranged to afford two angularly-disposed contact positions f<1>, f'.

Title: Process and rotary kiln for the production of a light-weight material from wet, plastic clay
IPC: F26B11/02
Filed: 1961-01-16
Abstract: <PICT:0969218/C1/1> Light-weight rounded grains of clay with honeycombed structure are produced by heating wet plastic clay to incipient melting in a rotary kiln, the drying zone of which is provided with screens or grates which delay the passage through the drying zone of undesirably large lumps of clay.  The order of size of the grains is 0.5-3.0 cms. and their weight about 300 kg./cu.m. They are useful as aggregates for lightweight concrete.  The first lot of screens, 1, divide the interior of the drying zone of the kiln into quadrants.  They are followed by a cylindrical screen 2 built up from a circular or a longitudinal course of iron bars and then by a cone or taper section 3 built up from circular rings and with a central aperture facing towards the burning zone.  To obtain regular feeding of the kiln and to prevent freshly introduced wet clay adhering to the kiln wall near the entrance, a heat-conductive cylindrical or conical casing 4 is arranged at the feeding end, spaced from the kiln-wall so that waste gases 5 from the kiln can pass inside and outside the casing.  Clay 6 is fed into the casing, the walls of which are kept hot enough to prevent the clay adhering to them. If desired, chains may be hung inside the kiln to increase the surface available for heat transfer. Damming units of various kinds, e.g. inclined shovels, may also protrude inwards from the walls of the kiln.
