Title: Clamp arrangements for cooling electrical circuits
Inventor: PROCTOR RONALD KEITH
IPC: H05K7/14
Filed: 1982-07-14
Abstract: A clamp arrangement for clamping a circuit board 1 between two opposing parallel walls 7a comprises two identical parts 13, 15 each having a first flat surface 17, 19 and a second oppositely directed surface 21, 23 consisting of a series of correspondingly angled ramps extending along the length of the surface. Each of the first surfaces faces one of the two opposing walls, the ramp surfaces fitting together in a complementary manner, and the circuit board being placed between the first surface of the first part and the adjacent wall. The other part is held in a fixed position relative to its adjacent wall. The ramp surfaces of the first part are caused to slide with respect to the complementary ramp surfaces of the other part providing a transverse component of movement, which, being limited by the width of the enclosure defined by the two walls, serves to clamp the circuit board between the first surface of the first of the parts and the adjacent wall. <IMAGE>

Title: A contact member for vacuum isolating switches
Inventor: HANS BETTGE
IPC: C22C9/01
Filed: 1982-09-10
Abstract: A contact member, particularly in the form of a rod or bolt, for a vacuum isolating switch, consists, at least in the contact zone, of copper, 15% by weight of aluminium and 0.1 to 10% by weight of one or more of the elements Bi, Te, Se, Sb, Mg, and additionally cobalt. In this way the switching capacity of the contact is increased as compared with contacts made of known alloys containing nickel and burning-off is reduced. The alloy may be produced in a particularly simple manner by applying the further constituents (4) which are to be alloyed into the copper, to the end of a copper rod or bolt (1) in solid form and subsequently heating them above the melting point of at least some of the constituents, to effect formation of the required alloy. The contact members of the invention are particularly suitable for use in load isolating switches in medium-voltage switching arrangements. <IMAGE>

Title: Renovating two-tone motor vehicle wheels and elements therefor
Inventor: CAMPBELL MICHAEL
IPC: B60B7/00
Filed: 1983-01-22
Abstract: To renovate a wheel which, when manufactured, has a contrasting coating of (e.g. black) paint around each aperture (13), the entire exposed surface of the wheel is firstly cleaned and coated with a light-coloured paint after which several identical pieces of sheet material (14) (e.g. of black, self- adhesive thermoplastics) are applied, each piece covering an aperture (13) and a region of the wheel around the aperture. A cut is then made through each piece (14) along the perimeter of the aperture (13) to re-open the aperture. Use of these pieces (14) is less expensive than use of a hand-brush when renovating two-tone wheels. Each piece (14) of sheet material has one edge (15) which is convex, the others being concave; the corners are rounded. A sufficient number of pieces (14) for a single wheel are made available on a carrier sheet. <IMAGE>

Title: Gas diffusion-limited controlled release devices
Inventor: LABY RALPH HENRY
IPC: B65D83/00
Filed: 1983-02-16
Abstract: A device for controllably delivering a solid, paste or liquid material in biological, environmental or industrial systems. The device (1) is in the form of a tubular body (2), one end (3) of which is open to allow egress of the material and the other (9) is closed.

Patent GB-2148397-A (GB)
Title: Double enclosure pressure vessel
Inventor: ORLOFF GEORGE
IPC: F15B1/10
Filed: 1984-08-29
Abstract: The pressure vessel comprises a fluid-containing inner enclosure (1) having an inlet (8b) and an outlet (8a) for the fluid. For example, the pressure vessel may be a hydropneumatic accumulator in which case the inner enclosure is divided by a movable partition (2) into two portions (14, 15) containing respectively a hydraulic liquid and a gas. For enhanced safety in the event of structural failure the inner enclosure is surrounded by an outer fluid- containing enclosure (6). Fluid can enter the outer enclosure through a passage presenting an impedance to flow, such as a restrictor orifice (7). In this way a predetermined pressure can be maintained in the outer enclosure under normal operation thereby reducing the stress in the inner enclosure. The fluid-which may be liquid or gas-for the outer enclosure may be obtained from either portion of the inner enclosure or from a source external to the pressure vessel. <IMAGE>
