Title: Improvements in or relating to copy milling machines
IPC: B23Q35/18
Filed: 1955-12-13
Abstract: 794,283. Copy-milling. KOPP, F. Dec. 13, 1955 [Dec. 24, 1954], No. 35682/55. Class 83 (3). An hydraulically-controlled milling-machine comprises a spindle-head 1, moved vertically by a piston 17, controlled by a laterally-sensitive tracer 7, and a table 3 fed by means including a constant-pressure source, there being a line 21, 21a common to the table-feed-means and the cylinder 18 of the piston 17, so that the combined fluid-flow remains constant. The work 4 and the inside and outside patterns 5, 6 are carried on the table 3 moved by a piston- and-cylinder 9, 10 and the pump 12. An adjustable relief-valve 13 is provided. The vertical movements of the piston 17 cause fluid to pass through a line 20 to the line 21. The exhaust from the cylinder 10 also passes to the line 21, so that all the exhaust fluid is directed to a control-valve 22 which may be adjusted automatically by a template 33. The action of the valve 22 is to slow the movement of the table, say, when the movement of the head is increased. The template 33 therefore enables the feeds to be controlled to allow for greater chip removal, or improved finish, at particular points. If an outside or inside-template, Fig. 7, is used for milling a closed curve, instead of a combination template as above, the tracervalve-unit 39, 42, Fig. 5, can be reversed in action by reversing the flow to lines 36, 37, at the same time as the table movement is reversed, causing upward or downward movement of the valve 42. The tracer-roller 43 is carried on an arm 44 mounted on a fixed pivot at one end and supported by a roller 50 at the other, which rests against surtaces 48 or 49 on a piston 51 which is reversed in position against adjustable stops 54 whenever the flow through the lines 36, 37 is reversed.

Title: Method of making an electrochemical electric energy source device
IPC: H01M4/86
Filed: 1970-07-23
Abstract: 1312658 Electrodes; fuel cells BRUNSWICK CORP 23 July 1970 [24 July 1969] 35799/70 Heading H1B A fuel cell 10 comprises a manifold 12 for a fuel gas, e.g. H 2  or CU 4 , and a manifold 14 for an oxidizing gas, e.g. air or O 2 . Electrodes 18, 20 bounding the electrolyte 16 are connected to the external circuit by wires, not shown. The electrodes each comprise an electrolyte-permeable metallic film 22, 24 to which wicks 26, 28 of fine metal fibres are secured, e.g. by sintering. The electrolyte 16 consists of a eutectic mixture of lithium, sodium and potassium carbonates which may contain a finely divided ceramic powder such as magnesium oxide. At the operating temperature of 700 C. the electrolyte is molten and resembles a liquid or paste and it is contained in a porous ceramic matrix such as magnesia to which the films 22, 24 are applied. The preferred metals for the anode 18 and cathode 20 are, respectively, nickel and silver. Each wick 26, 28 comprises a few fine metal fibres arranged parallel to each other and spaced apart to facilitate flooding with electrolyte and may be  inch long, the diameter of each fibre being of micron-size. In a method of making the wicks 26, Fig. 3, nickel wires 40 are inserted in a matrix to aluminium tubes 42 surrounded by an aluminium can 44 and the assembly is reduced by drawing or extruding until the wires attain micron-size diameters. Heat treatment may be applied during this operation to promote metallic diffusion of aluminium into the nickel. The product, which may be several feet long, is cut to form segments equal to the length of the individual wicks. The film 22, which comprises a mixture of fine nickel and aluminium powders suspended in a volatile organic base, is applied to the ceramic matrix 16 flooded with electrolyte, by painting, and while the paint is wet the wick segments are flocked endwise into the film by electrostatic or electromagnetic attraction. To permanently secure the segments to the film 22 and the film to the matrix 16 the assembly is raised to the sintering temperature of nickel and the volatile organic base vaporizes. The aluminium tubes 42 and can 44 are next removed by immersing the electrode 18 in concentrated KOH, this operation also removing the aluminium in the film 22 to render it permeable to the electrolyte. Also, a Raney-nickel-like surface is formed on the wick fibres on account of the aluminium diffused therein by the heat treatment. The cathode 20 is made similarly, silver being used in place of nickel. In modifications (not shown) the films 22, 24 are replaced by woven layers of metal fibres and matrix 16 is replaced by an aqueous electrolyte, e.g. H 3 PO 4 , contained by the layers. The wick electrodes may also be used in primary or secondary batteries having a molten metal anode.
