Title: A progressive cavity device with drive connections at both ends.
Inventor: KOTSONIS SPYRO
IPC: E21B4/02
Filed: 2007-11-15
Abstract: A progressive cavity pump or motor for use downhole comprises a Moineau type power section with a helically lobed rotor 40 within a helically lobed stator 44 having one more lobe than the rotor. In order that the device may drive or be driven by a main motor or load and an auxiliary motor or load the rotor has a rotating motion drive connector at both ends. One or both of the connectors may be a shaft 82 with two universal joints, a flexible shaft or a non-nutating drive 80 which may comprise a planetary gear or crank disc that receives drive from nutation of the rotor. As the rotor nutates once per rotation per lobe it nutates faster than it rotates thus the non-nutating drive may act as gearing and match a faster turning electric motor to a slower pump. The twin mechanical connection allows a downhole progressive cavity device to provide drive to an auxiliary such as crushing, fluid mixing/shearing and reaming devices or a generator for downhole electrics.

Patent GB-671772-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of manufacturing glass objects
IPC: C03B23/035
Filed: 1950-04-26
Abstract: 671,772. Moulding glass. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. April 26, 1950 [April 29, 1949], No. 10272/50. Class 56. [Also in Groups XI and XL (a)] In the manufacture of glass objects a ribbon 3 is formed from molten glass, with a width at least equal to one dimension of the article to be made, and, while still in a state in which its viscosity is lower than 10<SP>8</SP> poises, is deposited on, a mould 1 and engages the surface of the mould as a result of a difference in pressure at the two faces of the glass, the object then being separated from the ribbon. The thickness of the glass sucked against the mould is two millimetres at the most, but the edges 4 are thickened. The mould has a shallow cavity 6 into which a large number of ducts 7 open, the latter being connected through ducts 8 to a source at low pressure so that a sucking action occurs. The pressure member 2 is adapted to move up and down, and has a plane lower surface 13 with projections 10 forming a cutting edge to separate the object from the ribbon. Fig. 5 illustrates an apparatus for carrying out the method on a large scale. The oven 20 is provided with a slit like opening 25 in the front wall 24, the ends of the slit having widened parts of circular cross section extending beyond the remainder of the mouthpiece and formed of a material of good thermal conductivity. The glass flows from the mouthpiece as a ribbon and is led between endless belts 31, 32 driven at equal speed, the former comprising a plurality of pressure members 2 linked together, and the latter consisting of linked moulds 1. The spacing between the belts decreases so that at one end the ribbon 3 can be received while at the other end the projections 10 reach their cutting position. The lower sides of the moulds move over a casing 39 connected to a source of low pressure at 40. The method may be used to form objects of plane or curved cross section or of more complicated cross section, e.g. the halves of the envelope of an incandescent lamp or of a low pressure mercury vapour discharge tube such as shown in Fig. 8. As shown each half comprises a profiled portion 50, 51 surrounded by a plane edge 52, 53 formed in a mould as in Fig. 7. To form the envelope the plane edges 52, 53 and the boundary portions formed directly on the surface of the mould are sealed together. The inner surface of the envelope may be given a fluorescent layer and nozzles for the lead in points are provided as at 56, 57 or between the edges 52, 53. The mould may be inclined or held in a vertical position. The method may be used to form optical elements.
