Patent GB-2131791-A (GB)
Title: Carbon-containing refractory
Inventor: KYODEN HIROSHI
IPC: C04B35/01
Filed: 1983-12-13
Abstract: A carbon-containing refractory comprises approximately 1 to 10 parts by weight of at least one metal powder selected from Al-Mg alloy powder, Al-Mg-Si alloy powder, and Al-Mg-Cr alloy powder per 100 parts by weight of graphite (3-50 pts. by wt.) and refractory aggregate (50-97 pts. by wt.). However, because the melting points of the metal alloy powders are up to 250 DEG C lower than the melting points of the conventionally used unalloyed metal powders, the oxidation-preventing effects of the metal alloy powders are greater in the low temperature range (from about 400 DEG C) than the effects of unalloyed metal powders. The resulting refractory has increased hot strength and decreased weight loss after oxidizing burning. The resistance to corrosion of the present refractory may be further increased by the admixture of approximately 0.3 to approximately 5 parts by weight of boron carbide per 100 parts by weight of graphite and refractory aggregate.
Patent GB-2158148-A (GB)
Title: Door closer
Inventor: BROWN PETER
IPC: E05F3/10
Filed: 1984-04-27
Abstract: A piston (18, Fig. 1) is moved leftwards to close a door, fluid leaking past the piston to slow the door. Finally a piston gap (32, Fig. 3) overlaps a tube flat (41) to stepwise increase fluid flow, and hence door speed, to overcome a latch. The tube may be rotated (handle 36) to vary or remove the overlap, to vary or remove the stepwise flow increase. Handle rotation also varies the coverage of a channel (38) to throttle flow through the tube (37) and piston to vary piston and door speed. Air trapped within a space within a piston rack (20) is compressed with fluid expansion. Stops (28,29) on the piston limit lifting of a piston end (25) during the pistons' rightward movement. <IMAGE>

Title: An access cover and frame assembly
Inventor: CLARK FRANCIS STANLEY
IPC: E02D29/14
Filed: 1984-09-14
Abstract: An access cover and the frame in which it seats are both formed from a plurality of pressed or rolled metal angle sections joined together at its corners. Each frame section (12) has a substantially horizontal flange (13) with two troughs (15, 16) extending over the length of the section pressed therein and an upwardly extending flange (14) at the outer edge of the horizontal flange. The cover is of the type arranged to receive an infill and is insertable in the frame so as to make sealing contact with sealing material in troughs of the frame. Each cover section has a horizontal flange (20) and an upwardly extending flange (21). The horizontal flange has two downwards projections (22, 23) pressed therein and adapted to fit in respective troughs in the frame to provide a double seal cover and frame assembly for an infill type cover. Instead of pressing, the metal angle sections could be rolled, and in this case the frame and cover could each be formed of a single section folded and then welded at its two ends. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements in robot arms
Inventor: PIGOTT NORMAN BRIAN
IPC: B25J18/06
Filed: 1985-02-19
Abstract: A robot arm (10) is mounted at one end by means of a ball and socket joint (20, 22).
