Title: Method of blackening surfaces
IPC: B05D3/02
Filed: 1970-12-30
Abstract: 1307440 SiO 2  coating EUROPEAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITY (EURATOM) 30 Dec 1970 [30 Dec 1969] 61852/70 Heading C1A A method of blackening surfaces and heatresistant components comprises pyrolysing in a non-oxidizing atmosphere at between 400‹ to 1200‹ C. a surface coating of a hydrolysed silicon compound possessing hydroxy groups. The process should preferably be carried out in a vacuum of at least 10<SP>-4</SP> Torr. The minimum period of treatment depends on the temperature, e.g. at 750-850‹ C. 10 minutes suffices. Suitable silicon compounds are polymers formed by the hydrolysis of dimethyl dichlorosilane, methyl trimethoxysilane, methyltrichlorosilane, methyl triethoxysilane, orthosilicic acid esters or polysilicic acid esters. The coating may be applied with a brush, a spatula, by dipping or by spraying. The blackening effect is increased by applying a plurality of layers successively and heat-treating the last applied coating between each two coatings. The substrate may be of niobium or its alloys, molybdenum, tungsten, titanium, stainless steel, beryllium and ceramic materials. The degree of blackening may be enhanced by roughening the surface beforehand, such as by sand-blasting.

Title: An oscillating mounting for a fan or the like
IPC: F16H21/40
Filed: 1978-08-01
Abstract: A frame 10 journals a pivot shaft 11 carrying a mounting for the fan. For safety, the shaft 11 is oscillated via a friction clutch arm 22 by means of a motorised crank drive 14, 15, 18, 20. The shaft 11 carries a radial stop arm 36 which moves between a pair of fixed stops 40, 42 on the frame 10. If the fan is impeded, relative rotary slipping movement occurs between the shaft 11 and the arm 22, which normally imparts only a light friction drive to the shaft. The stops 40, 42 bring about further relative slipping movement between the arm 22 and the shaft 11, when the fan is released, to restore the angular position of the arm relative to the shaft and ensure that the fan always oscillates in the sector in which it is initially directed. <IMAGE>
