Title: Improvements relating to connections between rods and members disposed at right angles thereto
IPC: B62B9/18
Filed: 1952-08-07
Abstract: 732,690. Fastenings. LINES BROS., Ltd. Aug. 7, 1953 [Aug. 7, 1952]. No. 19930/52. Class 44. [Also in Groups XXII and XXXII] In a method of connecting an axle or like rod to a tubular or strip frame member crossing the axle or rod at right angles thereto, a channel shaped clip is placed over the tube or strip, the clip having in each arm a hole so located that the distance from the base of the channel to the furthest part of the edges of the holes is slightly less than the combined thickness of the frame member and the axle or the like where they cross, and the axle or the like is forced through the holes with consequent slight distortion of the frame member or clip. In the arrangement shown, axles 4 and tubular longitudinal frame members 2 of a perambulator are connected together by a clip 6, formed from flat strip and stamped to form holes 10, a slit and a hole 12, the material within the slit then being bent to the position shown to form a lug 14 for a mudguard stay. The clip is applied to the member 2 and the axle 4 forced through the holes 10 thereby slightly distorting the member 2. Dimples 16 may be formed within the clip which bite into the axle when the latter is forced home. Tack welds 13 may be made between one leg of the clip and the axle 4. In another arrangement, Figs. 7 and 8 (not shown) the base of the clip is flat to engage a flat strip frame member. In a further arrangement, Fig. 9 (not shown), the base of the clip is flat and is formed with an extension by which it is rivetted or otherwise secured to a flat strip frame member. In this form, the slit is omitted, the force-fit of the axle causing slight distortion around the holes through which the axle passes.

Title: Improvements relating to the making of welded tubes
IPC: B21C37/08
Filed: 1920-07-09
Abstract: 148,119. Fexer, F. May 17, 1916, [Convention date]. Tubes.-In an apparatus for skelping and welding tubes, the strips are drawn from the furnace by tongs moving at a variable speed so as to avoid shocks, the speed being slow until the strip has entered the dies and being increased during the drawing opetation. In the form shown, two pairs of tongs are operated alternately by fluid pressure. The respective die is placed over the tongs f which are carried by a slot in either of the heads h, g of the piston-rod k, i. The tongs grip the strip x in the furnace a, the end of the strip being bent into pointed form. They are then drawn slowly backwards on roller guides t and flanges u on the bed b until the die passes into the die holder, when the speed is increased to complete the drawing operation. The motion is produced by compressed air acting on liquid in receptacles r, s which are respectively connected by pipes p, q with the front ends of the cylinders l, m. Increased speed is effected by enlarging the passages for the liquid. The cylinders are connected at their rear ends by a pipe o so that liquid at the rear of each piston is alternately forced into the other cylinder to push forward its piston and to discharge liquid from the front thereof into its container. The completed tube is freed from the tongs and is transferred by a band in the groove v to finishing rolls. The bed may be turned on a pivot w to come opposite another series of blanks in the furnace.

Title: Improvements in or relating to variable transformers
Inventor: PARKER GEOFFREY
IPC: H01F29/06
Filed: 1966-05-06
Abstract: 1,130,022. Transformers. SUPERIOR ELECTRIC CO. 6 May, 1966, No. 20237/66. Heading H1T. To limit short-circuit current and localized heating in a commutating brush as it spans adjacent turns of a variable transformer the brush is made up of a large number (suitably some 500) fine (c. 0À003 inch diameter) wires of conductive metal. These are insulated individually and are either clamped together or encased by an insulating or weakly conductive material such as nylon, carbon with a resinous binder or graphite with an epoxy binder at the end of the brush which slides on the windings. At their other end they are connected to connecting clips. Suitably they may be divided into two groups leading to two connecting clips clamped to a radiator disc. Heat developed in the wires is spread throughout their length, and in the bridging of turns a "short-circuit" current encounters twice the resistance of the wires to output current. If the heat developed is small, a brush composed of short lengths of wire and a contact member may be employed, or if larger brushes are required a number of small separate turn-contacting parts may be combined.

Abstract: 504,372. Spray carburetters. PICKERING, C. G., and MUSSI, R. July 22, 1937, Nos. 20290 and 33108. [Class 7 (iii)] A mixture of fuel and primary air is heated before secondary air is admitted thereto through a suction controlled aperture and the heated mixture of primary air and fuel is regulated to give a relatively richer mixture as the throttle is opened by positively varying the effect of the primary air on the fuel nozzle, the maximum aperture for the inlet of the secondary air being simultaneously regulated in consonance with the throttle opening. A heating chamber 5 of inverted cup shape is bolted to a casting comprising a float chamber 2, air inlet 1 and mixing chamber. Fuel passes from the float chamber 2 to a nozzle 22 in an inlet 14 for primary air and the rich mixture traverses a volute shaped passage 13 in the chamber 5 which is heated by the exhaust gases. The heated mixture enters the tube 1 behind a screen 16 terminating in a flap valve 18 which is opened by suction, the opening being limited by contact of an arm 19 on the valve spindle with a cam 29 on the spindle of the throttle valve 15. The throttle valve 15 also carries an adjustable arm 26 adapted, after the throttle valve has been opened to some extent, to contact with an adjustable arm 25 on a semicircular baffle 23 masking the fuel nozzle 22 and rotatable to expose the nozzle to the engine suction.

A camera has a shutter release locking device and is arranged so that the first two steps and last two steps of winding on a film are possible while the shutter release lock remains effective. The shutter release button 41 has a rail 39 supporting an arm 39b which can prevent operation of the shutter when it engages with a projection 37b on a locking member 37. The locking member is slidable on the pin 30 and also supports a projection 37e which, during the initial movements of the counting wheel 32, engages a cam 32e so that the projection 37b prevents the shutter being released. The film is wound on by a lever 24 which supports a post 26 and a lever 27 having an arm 27a for co-operation with a series of projections 23a on a disc connected to a film winding sprocket. The post 26 also engages a projection 31a on a disc 31 which has another projection 31b engaging in ratchet teeth of the counting wheel 32. After winding on the first two frames of a film the projection 37e of the locking member 37 rides off the cam 32e and allows the lever 37 to move to allow the shutter release 41 to operate and also to allow a nose of the lever 37 to move into engagement with one of the projections 23a. The film cannot then be wound on until the release button is operated to move an inclined edge 39a into engagement with the locking lever 37 to pivot it out of engagement with the projections 23a. The counting wheel 32 is biased by a spring 33 and is held during operation by a ratchet lever engaging teeth 32b, the lever being disengaged from the teeth when the back of the camera is opened to allow resetting of the counting wheel.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of dinitrogen tetroxide
IPC: C01B21/36
Filed: 1960-06-10
Abstract: <PICT:0952746/C1/1> Dinitrogen tetroxide is prepared by cooling a hot gas mixture containing NO to a temperature above its dew point, passing the cooled gas through a reactor in countercurrent to nitric acid, cooling the gaseous effluent to condense water and HNO3, and cooling the remaining gas to condense N2O4 from N2 and O2.  Gas from the oxidation of NH3 with air at 900-1000 DEG  C. is cooled in a waste heat boiler to 300-600 DEG C. and enters plate, or packed, tower reactor 4 at 2.  The gas at 50-150 p.s.i.g. pressure flows up tower 4 countercurrent to 60-70% HNO3 entering at 6 at 0-100 DEG  C. The effluent gas at not more than 120 DEG C. passes to water-cooled condenser 10 whence condensed HNO3 and H2O is returned through 12 to tower 4 as reflux.  Remaining gas at 25-50 DEG  C. passes to brine cooler 22, whence N2 and O2 is withdrawn at 28, while condensed N2O4 passes to receiver 26.  The N2O4 passed to plate, or packed, distillation column 32, while 98% HNO3 is fed into the steam-heated still pot from 64 to ensure an acid concentration of at least 70% to prevent N2O3 formation during distillation. The effluent gas from column 32 passes to water-cooled condenser 36 whence part of the condensate is returned through 40 to column 32 as reflux, and the remainder is recovered through brine-cooled condenser 44 as N2O4 product.  Remaining gas from condenser 36 is vented through brine-cooled condenser 48.
