Abstract: 583,936. Athletic shoes. PITT, H. L. B. July 18, 1944, No. 13761. [Classes 17 (ii) and 17 (iii)] The sole a Fig. 1, and/or heel of a boot or shoe is provided with one or more concentric circular projections b, also arcuate projections c, d extending transversely in front and behind the projections b so that the wearer can pivot without slipping on the ball or heel of his foot. The sole is moulded in rubber, leather, metal &c., and the annular projection b comes, directly under the ball of the foot. The hollow centre of the projection b forms a suction cup which prevents slipping, and a further arcuate bar f may be provided adjacent the toe of the boot or shoe. In a modification, Fig. 4, j is an annular projection in the centre of the sole under the ball of the foot. On its inner face it has a series of steps k of diminishing height. Arcuate bars l, m are provided and these are formed with grooves n in their faces. The projections may be formed separately from the sole or heel to which they are secured by adhesive, nails &c.

A fluid bearing for a rotary shaft 2 comprises a permeable sleeve 1 through which fluid under pressure from a chamber 4 is fed to a clearance space between the sleeve 1 and shaft 2. The fluid is evacuated from the ends 6 of the sleeve 1. The permeability of the sleeve 1 is preferably such that the pressure within the clearance space is substantially half the pressure in the chamber 4. Longitudinal evacuation channels 7 may be provided on the inner surface of the sleeve 1. A combined radial and thrust bearing may be constituted by the provision of abutment surfaces provided on the shaft at the ends of the sleeve 1. The sleeve 1 may be of sintered metal, and the inner and outer cylindrical surfaces may be concentric or eccentric. In a modification a porous sleeve 1 is closed at one end and is supported at the other end in a block 3 having an inlet 5 through which fluid under pressure is fed to the interior of the porous sleeve 1. A hollow rotor 2 is supported on the fluid in the clearance space between the sleeve 1 and rotor 2. Outlets 6 are provided in the wall of the rotor for evacuation of the fluid. Certain portions of the sleeve, shown by reinforcing lines, are made impervious by machining the surfaces in order to avoid waste of fluid.

Title: Rotary seal system
IPC: F16J15/54
Filed: 1963-04-10
Abstract: 1,019,651. Seals. COMPAGNIE FRANCAISE THOMSON-HOUSTON. April 10, 1963 [April 12, 1962], No. 14343/63. Heading F2B. A rotary shaft 5 extending through a casing 2 is sealed, when rotating, by gas supplied under pressure to a clearance space 6, 18 between the shaft and the casing and, when at rest, by cooperating sealing means 8 and 12 carried by the casing and shaft respectively and urged into contact with each other to seal the clearance space when the shaft is not rotating but spaced apart when the shaft is rotating. An annular housing 1 secured to the casing 2 contains a ring 8 which is connected in a fluid-tight manner, to the housing by an elastic diaphragm 7 and pressed axially outwards by springs 9 so that the ring 8 and a flexible seal ring 11 carried thereby are urged towards a sealing surface 12 on a flange 28 on the shaft 5. When the shaft is rotating the ring 8 is held in the position shown by piston and cylinder actuators 10 connected to the ring and supplied with pressure fluid from a source (not shown) and ingress of foreign materials to the casing interior 3 is prevented by pressure gas, e.g. compressed air, supplied through inlet 15 and groove 19 to the spaces 6 and 18. The flange 28 has lips 13, 14 which co-operate with similar lips on the housing 1. When the shaft is stationary the supply of fluid to the actuators 10 is cut off and the rings 8 and 11 are pressed into sealing contact with the surface 12 by the springs 9. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the housing 1 is slidably sealed in the casing 2 by packing rings 32 and is urged in one direction by a spring 9 to seat the ring 11 against a'flange 23 secured to the shaft 5 and movable in the opposite direction under fluid pressure supplied at 33 to unseat the ring. Pressure gas for sealing the shaft when it is rotating is supplied at 27.

Title: Method and apparatus for preparing group iii-v materials
IPC: B01J19/00
Filed: 1966-03-31
Abstract: 1,148,659. Group III-V compounds. TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Inc. 31 March, 1966 [31 March, 1965], No. 14346/66. Heading C1A. [Also in Division B1] Group III-V compounds are made by mixing Group V hydride with a Group III halide to form a gaseous mixture in a first chamber at a temperature high enough to maintain the halide in a non-reactive state, and passing the. mixture into a second chamber, at least part of which is at a temperature low enough to cause the halide to disproportionate to the Group III element and a different valent form of the halide, - whereby the free Group III element may react with the free Group V element (formed in the thermal decomposition of the hydride). The chambers are preferably vertically arranged, the first chamber being the upper chamber. Preferably a porous member is used to divide the chambers. Compounds having more than one Group III- and/or more than one Group V component may be-made. Examples describe the production of GaAs, GaP, GaAs 0 . 15 P 0 . 85 , GaAs 0À5 P 5À5 , GaAs 0 . 81 P 0 . 19  and composition ranging from pure GaAs to pure GaP. Compounds of Al, In and Sb are also mentioned. The apparatus shown (Fig. 1) consists essentially of a reaction tube (16) divided into two chambers, C and A, by a frit (18). The. Group V hydride enters through a tube (21) and the Group III halide, e.g. GaCl, is formed by passing a halogen gas, e.g. HCI, via a tube (20), through molten Group. III element in a " bubbler " (22). The halide, on passing through an outlet (24) is mixed with the Group V constituent and the mixture is forced through the frit into the lower chamber. A steep thermal gradient is maintained in this lower chamber and the halide disproportionates at a lower temperature near the surface of a substrate wafer (15). Combination and deposition of the Group III-V material then occurs at the substrate surface.

Filed: 1924-06-13
Abstract: 233,548. Thornton, A. A., (National Brass Co.). June 13, 1924. Latches, sliding.- Tubular mortice latches are guided by a pair of struck-up inwardly bent flanges, one struck up from the fore-end plate and the other from the fore-end cap which is secured to the tubular casing by a bayonet-slot coupling. Fig. 6 shows the end plate 9 with a square hole 10 for the latch-bolt 14 and a guide 11 struck up from the hole. Two small additional projections 34 are also struck up to fit in recesses 32 in the end cap 8, being bent over afterwards to secure the plate and cap together. In forming the hole l0a in the cap 8, Fig. 7, the second bolt-guide 31 is struck up so that when the plate and cap are secured together by the lugs 34, the parts 11, 31 form a pair of parallel guides for the latch bolt as shown in Fig. 55. The caps 7, 8 are secured to the tubular casing 4 by bayonet slots 6 engaging pins 5. The bolt shank 16 can slide through the flange 13 against the spring 18 when the door is slammed. The bolt is shot by the spring 20 after retraction by the follower 24.
