Title: Damping control device
IPC: B21D28/20
Filed: 1977-11-21
Abstract: In the ram (10) which is actuable by the operating cylinder (11), there are arranged counter-pressure cylinders (13, 14), pressure spaces (17, 18) of which are connected to a pressure cell (33) and a proportional control valve (28). The pressure cell (33) which supplies an electrical actual value signal is connected via two resistors (34, 36) to a desired value transmitter (37). The signal indicating the difference between the desired and actual values is fed to an amplifier (40), the output signal of which triggers the exciting winding (29) of the proportional control valve (28). The desired value transmitter (37) is set to a pressure which corresponds to the force required to extend the piston rods (19, 20) of the counter-pressure cylinders (13, 14) during the return stroke of the ram (10). An integrating circuit composed of a resistor (42) and an adjustable capacitor (43) is designed in such a way that the time taken by a slow change in pressure is not affected by the control circuit (33, 34, 36, 40, 29, 28) while a rapid change is delayed. A dampening device of this type is not dependent on the viscosity of the pressure liquid, can be easily adjusted and is suitable for presses which are driven in different ways. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 1,004,591. Centrifugal pumps. BORG-WARNER CORPORATION. Dec. 28, 1962 [Jan. 8, 1962], No. 48852/62. Heading F1C. [Also in Division H2] An operating assembly for a booster pump, particularly for fuel delivery in an aircraft, comprises a housing containing an electric motor for driving the booster pump and having a rotatable armature connected to a drive shaft extending out of the motor housing, a liquid-ring pump driven by the shaft for priming the booster pump and including a pumping chamber and inlet and discharge chambers, first fluid passage means connecting the discharge chamber with the motor housing, second fluid passage means connecting the motor housing with the pumping chamber, and deflector means co-operating with the second fluid passage means and facing in a direction opposed to the rotational direction of the motor armature. The housing 12, Fig. 1, of the boost pump B has a part 14 which is screwed or plugged into a fuel line fitting F which contains the outlet scroll 23 communicating with discharge line 22. The boost pump impeller 3U provided with spiral vanes 38 is driven by an electric motor M through a shaft 35. A double-lobe liquid-ring pump P, having a rotor 47 operating in a pumping chamber 53, maintains the boost pump B primed during all conditions of flight by drawing off air, vapour and liquid through a groove 80. The drawn off fuel continues through apertures 79, groove 81 and a slot 60, Figs. 1 and 2, to an inlet chamber 56 of the pump P and passes through passages 64 into the pumping chamber 53. From the latter the fuel is pumped through outlet slots 70 and 67 to the interior of the motor housing 11 by way of a space between the shaft 35 and a truncated conical portion 55, a discharge chamber 57, Fig. 5, and passages 82 in the base 75 of the motor housing 11. The motor M is thereby cooled by the fuel, which is passed through a pipe 90 to a low pressure area such as the fuel tank when the motor housing 11 is full. A deflector D provided with an arcuate passage 87 directed in opposition to the direction of rotation of the fuel in the motor housing 11 causes some of the fuel to be passed back through passages 85, 68 to the pumping chamber 53 to maintain the liquid ring therein. An O-ring 76 is generally provided between members 73 and 54 to compensate for manufacturing tolerances.

Abstract: 1436785 Oxychlorination of methane LUMMUS CO 22 Oct 1973 [24 Oct 1972] 49019/73 Heading C2C Chlorinated methanes essentially free of CCl 4  are prepared in an oxychlorination reaction zone by contacting CH 4  and HCl and/or Cl 2  with a molten mixture comprising CuCl, CuCl 2  and CuO.CuCl 2  in the presence of CCl 4  in an amount which essentially eliminates the net production thereof. Preferably the added CCl 4  gives a CCl 4  : CH 4  mole ratio of at least 0À4 : 1 when chloroform is the desired product or 0À2 : 1 when chloroform and methylene chloride are the desired products. When using Cl 2  the methane conversion in the reaction zone is advantageously 25-50 mole per cent whilst when HCl is used the conversion is preferably 15-25 mole per cent. The reaction is usually effected at 700-950 C. using a melt containing a melting point depressant such as KCl. In the examples a mixture of CH 3 Cl, CH 2 Cl 2 , CHCl 3  and dimers is obtained as net product.

Title: Improvements in or relating to spring suspension units
Inventor: LANGEN VIKTOR
IPC: F16F9/48
Filed: 1968-10-16
Abstract: 1,210,747. Springs. V. LANGEN, [trading as LANGEN & CO.]. 16 Oct., 1968 [25 Oct., 1967], No. 49111/68. Heading F2S. A spring suspension unit comprises a cylinder 1; a main piston 2 in the cylinder which together form a pressure chamber; an accumulator 8; a spring-loaded pressure-limiting or presure-reducing valve 6 provided between the pressure chamber and the accumulator, the valve being arranged to open against the bias of the valve spring; and a movable valve spring seat which moves in response to the movement of the main piston to vary the bias of the valve spring and hence the damping rate of the unit. The piston-rod 3 is connected, by mechanical actuating means 4, to a spring 5 of a pressurereducing valve 6. A check valve 9 is provided in a by-pass across the pressure-reducing valve 6. In an embodiment the piston-rod 10, Fig. 3, is bored at 17 to receive a rod 15 therein and is counter-bored at 18 to receive a piston 21 having a spring 20 therein. The rod 15 is adjustably secured to a closed end 16 of the cylinder 13, has an axial bore therethrough which communicates with an accumulator 27 and is provided with a transverse bore 28 and non-return valve 29. When the piston 11 is forced into the cylinder 13 fluid is displaced into the accumulator 27, via the bore 17 in the pistonrod 10 and the bore 26 in the rod 15. The piston 21 receives the reduced end 24 of the rod 15 so as to throttle the flow of fluid therebetween. The pressure in the chamber 14 then exceeds the pressure in the bore 18 of the piston-rod 10 and exceeds the pressure in the bore 26 of the rod 15 and in the accumulator 27. When the force acting on the head of the piston 21 exceeds the thrust of the spring 20, the piston 21 lowers into the piston-rod 10 to increase the thrust of the spring 20 in proportion to the stroke of the piston. Since the thrust of the spring 20 is proportional to its deflection the resistance to flow increases in the same proportion. When the piston 11 comes to rest the reduced end 24 of the rod 15 will be received by the bore 23 of the piston 21 to form a seal. When the piston 11 moves downwardly, the seal will be temporarily maintained, the capacity of the bore 18 will increase, fluid will be drawn from the accumulator 27, the chamber 14 partly re-fills with the fluid displaced by the piston 21 from the bore 18 and the remainder of the fluid is supplied by the accumulator through the bore 26, the transverse bore 28 and the collar 29.

Abstract: 1,206,510. Coated metal strip. L. O. SWARTZ. 22 Oct., 1968 [10 Sept., 1968], No. 50115/68. Heading B2E. [Also in Division D1] A metal strip is coated by passing the strip in a continuous path through a coating station, a coating containing a liquid diluent applied to at least one surface of the strip, and through a heating station where heat is induced in that portion of the strip which passes there-through by electro-magnetic induction the heat being sufficient to initiate curing of the coating while effecting vapourization of the liquid diluent, the vapourised liquid being restrained from flowing downstream of the path of travel of the strip after the strip leaves the heating station, then progressively cooling the coated strip from a point adjacent the heating station to a point remote therefrom. The vapourised diluent may be condensed in the area of the heating station and the condensed diluent removed from the system. In the Figure a low carbon steel 12 is passed from a coil 14 and then between a pair of pinch rollers 18 and through a series of pretreating operations. The first of these is performed in apparatus 20 where sprays 22 of alkali solution are projected against both sides of the strip and the strip is then scrubbed and cleaned by scrubbing rolls 24 while the strip is supported by back-rollers 26. The strip is then guided by pinch rollers 28 into apparatus 30 where the strip is raised by sprays 32 and smoothed by abrasive wheels 34 supported by back-up rollers 36. The strip is then guided to apparatus 40 where the strip is provided with a chemical coating to condition the strip for the application of the paint by means of rollers 42. It is then passed successively through rinsing apparatus 44, drying means 46 and auxiliary drying and levelling means 48 and 50 and then around roller 52 and is provided with a coating of paint by means of rollers 54 and 56. After the paint has been applied to both sides of the strip it passes through induction heating coil 58. The coiled unit 60 is enclosed in the circuit to vary the current and temperature as desired. Recorder 62 records the temperature at any particular instant in response to a sensing device 63. Vapourised solvent is drawn through a hood 64 overlying the coil 58 by means of a blower 71. The solvent is condensed by the coil 67 and flows through the depending portion 65 and the conduit 72 to a recovery tank 74. Uncondensed vapours are drawn through duct 76 to an after burner 78. The strip is then passed around an internally water-cooled roller 80 and then successively around rollers 82 and 84 which are also internally water-cooled. The coated strip finally passes over rollers 96 to a coil 98 to be re-coiled at 100.

A cementation process for the recovery of metallic Cu from Cu-bearing solutions (e.g. weakly acidic leach solutions from mine waste dumps), comprises bringing such a solution and metallic Fe in intimate contact with each other under turbulent conditions to bring about a cementation reaction; and maintaining hydrogen gas under a partial pressure of at least 1À2 atmospheres at the reaction site during the cementation reaction to decrease the consumption of Fe that would otherwise take place. The turbulence may be created by injecting the solution under pressure in the lower part of a reaction vessel. The hydrogen gas may be nascent hydrogen produced during the process. The pressure may be imposed either (a) by a hydrostatic head of 7 ft. or more, e.g. 8-24 ft. of the solution effective on the reaction site or (b) by enclosing the reaction site within a closed reaction vessel and maintaining it under the specified pressure. The cementation reaction may be carried out completely or only during a first stage under the specified pressure. Commercially obtained hydrogen can be injected into the reaction zone.
