Title: Locking apparatus
Inventor: SOUTHALL IAN
IPC: E05B55/00
Filed: 2007-05-23
Abstract: A locking apparatus 1 for locking a slide-means operated lock device 2, comprises a cylinder lock 3 such as a key operated multipoint lock and a separate lever-type mortise lock 4. In the embodiment shown, the lever-type mortise lock 4 may be a five lever mortise lock or a three lever mortise lock. In the locked position, the mortise lock 4 disables the operation of the handle to open the door. Thus, if the cylinder lock 3 is tampered with as by key-bumping or any other means, operation of the handle does not allow the door to be opened as the bolt 11 of the mortise lock 4 is engaged in the slide bar 5b, i.e. is immovable, and so the bolts 6 remain in the locked position. Only on disengagement of the mortise lock can the slide bar 5 be operated.

Abstract: 770,935. Hardening steel tubes. MANNESMANN AKT.-GES. April 12, 1955, No. 10531/55. Class 72 A process for hardening long tubes or other elongated hollow bodies of carbon steel from the inside comprises passing a coolant helically along the inner surface of the tube at a great speed. The coolant may be ejected from a nozzle under a pressure of 6 to 12 atmospheres, the speed of travel of the coolant depending on the diameter of the tube and the nature of the inner surface but such that the jet maintains a helical course from one end to the other of the tube. As shown, a tube 1, e.g. an oil well tube, after being heated in a furnace 2 is brought to a roll table and a jet pipe 4 is pressed and clamped tightly against one end of the tube. A pump 5 forces the coolant through the jet pipe so that a jet of coolant, e.g. water, or oil, or an emulsion, travels helically along the inner surface of the tube and is collected by an intercepter 6, pushed over the other end of the tube, and returned to a storage tank 7. In the case of a tube of internal diameter over 250 mm. a core may be filled into the bore of the tube in such manner that an annular space is left between the core and the tube along which the coolant may travel.
