Abstract: 1358853 Fireproof cladding of beams W A SMITH 27 Jan 1972 [27 Nov 1970] 56611/70 Heading E1K A method of applying fireproof, heat insulation cladding to a constructional beam comprises applying pre-formed fire proof, heat insulation cladding slabs directly to the external face of at least one flange of a beam with a fireproof adhesive, at least one cladding slab having a fixing clip embedded therein projecting portions of which are bent over to engage and hold the slab in position. In the embodiment of Fig. 2, a soffit slab 11 of fireproof material incorporating vermiculate is first secured by a fireproof adhesive to the lower flange 12 of an I beam, the extremities of an embedded clip 13 being bent over the ends of the flange 12 to hold it in place, after which slabs 15 of the same material are secured solely by fireproof adhesive to the two faces of the web 16 of the beam, the fireproofing being completed by further slabs 17, 18 of fireproofing material suitably formed as shown and fixed by fireproof adhesive to the inner faces of the lower and upper flanges 12, 19. In the embodiment of Fig. 3, a hollow I beam 20 is fireproofed by employing a slab 21, similar to the slab 11, in combination with slabs 25 having clips 29, for securing to a ceiling 28, and clips 27 which cooperate with the bentover ends 24 of embedded clips 23 in the soffit slab, fireproof adhesive being used between the soffit slab 21 and the lower flange 22, and between the lower edges of the slabs 25 and the soffit slab 21. Modifications of this embodiment (Figs. 4 and 5, not shown) are also described. In a further embodiment, Fig. 6, an angle iron beam 33 is fireproofed with slabs 34, 39, 40, of which the slab 34 is secured by the bent-over ends of embedded clips 35, 36, while the slabs 39, 40 are secured to the beam flanges and to the longitudinal edges of the slab 34 by fireproof adhesive.

Abstract: 1417176 Infra-red viewing TEXAS INSTRUMENTS Inc 11 Dec 1972 [17 Dec 1971] 57079/72 Heading H4F An infra-red viewer comprises a rotatable assembly, having optics which, in co-operation with fixed optics, causes two abutting fields to be scanned on successive rotations of the assembly. The visible light conversion of the fields are correspondingly rotatably projected to be viewed in correct abutting inter-relationship. For a first, upper scan, Fig. 1, a linear array 14 of I.R. detectors is scanned across the field represented by upper and lower extremity rays 10, 11 by means of an optical assembly rotating with the detectors and comprising mirror 12 and focusing lens 13. The video output of the I.R. detectors is correspondingly fed, via amplifiers &c. to an array 15 of light emitting diodes rotating with the assembly, the light from which being projected on to a viewing screen by lens 16. For the second, lower scan, Fig. 2, the optical assembly 25, 30, 31, 32, 12 takes over, the output of the I.R. detectors being applied to an array 20 of light emitting diodes so positioned with respect to diodes 15, that their projection by lens 17 abuts the lower edge of that of the first scan. The rotating section of the viewer, mounted on bearings 21, 22 also includes printed circuit boards 53, Fig. 4 (not shown), mounted in stacks on the sides of the section, and fan-assisted Stirling cycle refrigeration means for the detectors.

In a bell-type furnace, heat-treated material 11 disposed within an inner cover 13, is heated not only from its centre by a radiant tube 8 but also from outside thereof by combustion gas flowing through clearances 15, 18 formed (as shown) between the inner cover 13 and a middle cover 14 and between the middle cover 14 and an outer cover 17 respectively. The combustion gas which is jetted at high speed from a combustion gas outlet 7 of a burner assembly is first introduced into an inner tube 9, being guided down until it reaches the bottom end of the radiant tube 8 where it is forced to change direction by 180 degrees before passing upwardly through a clearance 10. On by-passing the burner assembly, the combustion gas heats a fin 12 thereby pre-heating air and gas flowing into the combustion chamber 6 of the burner assembly. A recirculation fan 24 is used to circulate the atmospheric gas, which enters via inlet 22, to unformalize the temperature distribution in the furnace.

Patent GB-616786-A (GB)
Abstract: 616,786. Gas turbine plant; centrifugal compressors. POWER JETS (RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT), Ltd., and WEIR, R. H. Dec. 30, 1944, No. 26195. [Classes 110 (i) and 110 (iii)] In an internal-combustion turbine power unit provided with a compressor impeller arranged with two or more separate and distinct air flow passages, each passage being arranged to deliver air to an associated combustion chamber or chambers, means are provided to shut off the air supply to one or more of these passages and the fuel supply to the associated combustion chamber or chambers so as to reduce the power or thrust. The jet propulsion gas turbine, Fig. 1, has a double-sided impeller 1 with laterally opposed intakes 3, 4 which discharges into a diffuser having a splitter plate 5 with a knife edge which keeps the air flow from the two sides of the impeller separate so that the flow from one side of the impeller passes through passages 11, Fig. 2, to one set of alternate combustion chamber 12 of an annular series of combustion chambers 12, 13 and the flow from the other side passes through passages 15 to the other set of alternate combustion chambers 13. The hot gases from the chambers 12 pass to the upper part 25, Fig. 5, and the gases from the chambers 13 pass to the lower part 26 of the nozzle box 23. These gases, after passing through the turbine rotor blades 31, pass into concentric exhaust ducts formed by the bullet 32, exhaust casing 33 and partition member 34 and from there to the jet pipe 35 which may be fitted with a variable area nozzle. The combustion chambers 12 are supplied with fuel from a manifold 17 fitted with a control valve 18 and the combustion chambers 13 from a separate manifold 19 fitted with a control valve 20. The rear air intake 4 is fitted with valve means 36 which may be a flap valve, interleaved throttling plate or iris diaphragm shutter. To reduce the thrust of the engine, the air flow through the intake is reduced simultaneously with the fuel supply to the chambers 13 and can be reduced until the air flow is cut off or reduced to a trickle for cooling purposes. The valve means 36 and valve 20 may be interconnected by appropriate mechanical or hydraulic linkage shown diagrammatically at 37. A propeller or ducted fan may be driven by the shaft 14. In a modification, a single-sided impeller is employed and means are provided for dividing the air flow radially together with means for controlling or shutting off certain of the air streams. In a further modification, an axial flow compressor is employed with means in the stator blading for dividing the air flow radially. According to the Provisional Specification, the invention may be applied to an engine in which a doublesided compressor discharges into an uneven number of combustion chambers, a movable flap valve or like control being arranged in the hot gas stream in the region of the turbine nozzle ring.

Abstract: 1287486 Seals; vibration dampers; springs GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 29 Dec 1969 [2 Jan 1969] 63031/69 Headings F2B and F2S A vibration damping ring 59 is positioned to circumferentially grip and exert a radial pressure against one or each shell member carrying a labyrinth seal component in a fluid handling apparatus, such as a gas turbine engine, so that the potentially destructive, selfexcited, aeroelastic, nodal flexural vibration of the shell member is reduced by heat-producing relative slip between the ring and the shell member, the ring being severed as shown in Fig. 2 to enable diametral opening and closing of the ring. A pin 72 is inserted between the ring ends 60, 61 to prevent the ring from escaping from its groove 64 in the rotary member which carries teeth 12 extending into sealing relationship with a sealing surface 14. The ring may be of solid or hollow construction and when employed on the rotary shell member 16 is urged outwardly against the rotary member 16 by centrifugal force and its inherent spring force whereby the relative slip generates heat and dissipates the vibrational energy. The vibrations may be characterized by both axially and circumferentially propagating nodal flexural waves, Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown); preferably the ring is positioned close to the position of maximum flexure. In another embodiment, Figs. 5 and 6 (not shown), the ring is inserted into its groove (64) in the rotary member through a gap (78) in the walls of the groove and is retained therein by a pin (72).
