An apparatus for coiling wire and treating it at speeds of at least 50 metres/min. comprises a wire feeding and helix forming device 20 with a grooved rotor 31 and one or two horizontal storage rollers 40, 41. The wire is copper or steel and it is fed from a coil 10 through mechanical scale removing rollers 13, 14 which flex the wire. Wire bushes may also be provided to loosen the scale. The wire passes through straightening rollers 15, 16 to the rotor 31, around an idler pulley 33 and under a portion of the following wire. The rotor has a groove so that the wire is trapped in the groove by the following wire. The length of the overlap can be increased by crossing the wire between the rotor and the idler. Two annular grooves may be provided on the rotor to feed two wires to form a pair of helices which are supported one within the other on the rollers 40, 41. The rollers are driven to feed the helix therealong with its lower portion passing successively through a series of liquid treatments. The liquids are contained in a bath 50 with adjustable partitions for various wire treatments. One of the tanks may include electrodes for anodic or cathodic cleaning, electroplating or electrodepositing. A hood is provided to exhaust the acid vapours. The pitch of the wire will vary with different gauges so the bath is mounted on rollers so that its position can be changed. The pitch of the wire is kept uniform by a guide (80), Fig. 2 (not shown), which has comb-like teeth (81). After pickling &c. in one tank the wire is passed through a hot lime, borax or phosphate solution bath to coat it in lime. Since the acid dissolution is exothermic no heating is required to evaporate the water from the wire. The lime &c. layer serves as a holder for a lubricant used at a later drawing stage. An ultrasonic generator may be provided in the pickling baths to disturb the scale.

Abstract: 1493265 Fluid catalytic cracking EXXON RESEARCH & ENG CO 29 Nov 1974 [18 March 1974] 51750/74 Heading C5E Catalyst used in the catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons overflows from the upper level 32 of a fluidized bed of catalyst in a regeneration vessel 30 into a stand pipe 42, around the bend 43 and through an upwardly inclined conduit 44 into which a transporting gas (e.g. steam) is injected from taps 46. The catalyst then passes up the vertical transferline riser 12 in admixture with the hydrocarbon charge 10 and is discharged into a gas-solid separation vessel 14 in which the catalyst is separated from the vapours 20. Separated catalyst passes into a stripping zone 22 via the open end thereof, which, as illustrated in Fig. 2 (not shown), is disposed for receiving catalyst from a lower portion of the separation vessel 14. The catalyst is stripped in the zone 22 (e.g. with steam from conduit 24) and passed through a conduit 28 into the regeneration vessel 30. The flow of catalyst in the conduit 28 is regulated by varying the size of the orifice of valve 26 and the flow of catalyst from regeneration vessel 14, through the standpipe 42, the conduit 44 and the riser 12 into the vessel 14, is effected without varying the size of any orifice through which the catalyst passes. All of the conversion can be carried out in the riser 12 or alternatively the vessel 14 can contain a fluidized bed of catalyst in which additional conversion occurs. The vessels 14 and 30 can contain gas-solids separators such as cyclones. The process can be used to produce lower boiling hydrocarbons from a feed, such as a residual oil, using a catalyst such as silica-alumina.

Abstract: 1531428 Presence or absence of moving bodies GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 19 Dec 1975 [20 Dec 1974] 52127/75 Heading G1A [Also in Division G3] A system for detecting the presence or absence of bodies 11-13 --- of known dimensions and spacing as they pass a point at a given rate.comprises a light source and a photo-cell, the path between which is periodically interrupted by the bodies so that the photo-cell generates an electrical signal having on and off intervals corresponding to the presence and absence of light respectively, means for comparing part of the electrical signal with a signal from a reference source to produce an error signal, means responsive to which modifies the light in a sense tending to stabilize the electrical signal. Light emitting diode LED sends light through type fingers 11-13 --- on a moving belt to phototransistor P1. Resistor R7 and capacitor C2 filter high frequency noise. Resistors R8, R9 and capacitor C3 supply substantially the average voltage across R7 as a reference for comparator OA2, whose output voltage is thus the deviation from the mean and drives transistors Q2, Q3 giving a squarewave output. Because the on to off time ratio may not be 45/55 which is the actual dimension spacing ratio feedback is provided on line 20 to an integrating amplifier circuit comprising amplifier OA1, capacitor Cl and resistor R3, so that the average output signal is compared with a reference from potential divider R1, R2. Thus the amplified errors signal is applied via diode CR2 to transistor Ql to alter the output of the LED and hence the instant at which the output from Q2, Q3 changes from 0 to +5V and vice versa. When the belt motor is not running, input signal MTR is logic 0 so that OR gate Gl allows reduction of power to the LED, and potential divider R8, R9 maintains the output voltage of OA2 positive. The integrating circuit integrates the squarewave output for substantially one font of type bearing fingers, the effect of the presence of one wide finger being negligible.

Abstract: 1,137,419. Forming bladed members by winding strand on to a jig. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. 25 Nov., 1966 [25 Feb., 1966], No. 52938/66. Heading B8G. [Also in Division F1] A method of making a bladed member, such as a bladed wheel, comprises winding at least one strand 36, Fig. 1, of material under uniform tension on a jig 10 such that the material extends along reaches B, C, G etc., defining the desired blades; the material also being wound around the outer ends of the jig between said reaches, and in slots H near the inner ends of said reaches. The material may also be wound across the area bounded by the circle defined by the slots H. The winding is continued until sufficient layers of the material have been wound on the jig, the layers of material being then bound together while on the jig, and then removed from the jig. The material may be glass filaments impregnated with a curable resinous material such as thermo-setting epoxies, phenolics or the like. Boron coated tungsten filaments are quoted. The binder may be metallic. Sheet material, such as binder impregnated woven glass cloth, may be placed on the jig prior to winding strand material; on the surface of the wound strands prior to binding; between the layers of strands during the winding operation. Fig. 2 (not shown), shows a spider shaped pressure element that can be placed on the wound jig 10 and subjected to pressure against the windings thereon so that under heated conditions the strands are bound together. Fig.3 shows one embodiment of the finished product, removed from the jig, and in which the blades 24 extend between outer and inner shrouds 25, 26. The area within the inner shroud 26 can be filled with a foamable epoxy resin 28 which, when foamed and cured, serves to prevent extraneous gas flow through the hub area 27 formed by crisscrossed reaches of roving. The resin 28 also serves to prevent vibration of the reaches crossing the hub area. If the outer shroud 25 is not required it may be removed by trimming it from the ends of the blades 24.
