Title: Improvements in or relating to locking arrangements for the closures of pressure vessels
Inventor: PENFOLD LEONARD JAMES
IPC: F16J13/24
Filed: 1960-04-13
Abstract: 917,008. Closures for resisting fluid pressure. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. March 29, 1961 [April 13, 1960], No. 13193/60. Class 123 (1). [Also in Groups XXV and XXIX] The cover 3 of a pressure vessel 1 is held in place by a locking mechanism 4, and also by an auxiliary safety mechanism 5 comprising a bolt 7 passing through an aperture in the wall of' the vessel, and engaging a recess 16 in the cover, a safety device being provided in the form of a pin 14 which is sensitive to the pressure within the vessel and engages the bolt 7 to prevent withdrawal of the latter when the pressure within the vessel is above a certain predetermined value. The bolt 7 is pushed manually against the action of spring 29, to engage the recess 16, and is there given a quarter turn to engage the pin 30 within a slot 24 formed in the housing of the bolt. The pin 14, which forms part of a piston and cylinder arrangement 12 in communication with the interior of the vessel 1, is then free to engage a bore 39 in the bolt 7 when the pressure within the vessel 1 is sufficient to move the piston 13 against the action of spring 47. The pin therefore locks the bolt in its shot position, until the pressure in the vessel 1 has decreased sufficiently for the spring 47 to withdraw the pin. As an additional safety precaution, a two-way valve 11 is incorporated in the bolt 7 and controls the supply of gas to the vessel 1, the valve comprising a bore 33 within the bolt communicating via the passage 36 with the source of gas supply, and via the passage 35 with the inlet to the vessel 1. Thus the vessel can only be charged with gas when the bolt is in the closure-securing position, and conversely the supply of gas to the vessel is interrupted when the bolt is withdrawn. Also, when the bolt is released, the passage 35 is open to the atmosphere, and the pressure vessel is thereby exhausted. In the event of electrical mechanism being utilized to charge the vessel 1, the valve is replaced by an electric switch incorporated in the circuit to the mechanism, and so arranged that movement of the bolt towards its closure-securing position closes the switch.

Abstract: 859,479. Gas turbine plant. ROLLS-ROYCE Ltd. July 1, 1959 [April 25, 1958], No. 13294/58. Class 110 (3). An aircraft fuel system for controlling the supply of fuel to the combustion equipment of the engine comprising a variable capacity fuel pump and detector means for detecting icing-up of the fuel has means for locking the pump in a condition to prevent variation of the pump capacity, other than in response to variations in engine speed, when icing-up is detected. Fuel from a tank 15 is passed through a filter 16, booster pump 17, heater 18 and filter 19 to a variable output pump 20, the output of which is controlled as described in Specification 804,143. The pump discharges through a throttle valve 23 and shut-off cock 24 to the fuel manifold 14. The heater 18 is supplied with hot compressed air tapped from the compressor 11 through an electromagnetically-operated valve 25. The output of the pump 20 is controlled by the pressure in the chamber 29 communicated to the piston 28 through an orifice 30 and restriction 31. The orifice 30 can be closed at will by a half-ball valve 32 operated by a solenoid 34 energized by a switch 36. A pressure capsule 39 responsive to the pressure drop across the filter 19 lights the lamp 42 when a certain degree of icing-up of the filter occurs. The pilot then operates the switch 36 to close the valve 32 so as to fix the pump capacity and at the same time to supply heating air to the heat-exchanger 18. The switch 36 may be automatically opened after a predetermined time by a time delay device 37. The arrangement of the speed governor controlled half-ball valve 43 allows the governor to continue to operate when the valve 32 is closed.

Abstract: 569,786. Fastening wearing-apparel. LIGHTNING FASTENERS. Ltd. (Talon, Inc.). Aug. 18, 1943, No. 13427. Addition to 516,353. [Class 141] [Also in Groups V and XXV] In an adjustable fastener of the kind described in the parent Specification, the beads 1 are mounted on a cord, wire or the like 2, provided with suitably spaced knots or enlargements 2a over which the beads are clamped or moulded. The beads shown are spherical, but they may be cylindrical. The cord may be formed by using as constituents a twisted yarn known as seed yarn in which one or more systems of threads in a multiple system yarn is intermittingly fed at a speed different from the others during the twisting operation to cause predeterminedly spaced pile-ups appearing as correspondingly spaced lumps in the finished cord. The beads may be mounted on a tape 4 formed with apertures as in Fig. 2, either during the weaving of the tape or by a subsequent cutting operation. In the latter case, the edges of the apertures may be impregnated, before or after the cutting operation, with resin or plastic material to prevent fraying. The beads are passed into the apertures and the tape then folded and secured by a close-up row 3 of stitches, the parts 4b embracing the cord between the beads as seen in Fig. 1. The tape is then opened out and secured by stitches 5 to an article 6 to be fastened. The slider 9 is of elongated chamielled form and of a uniform cross-sectional shape adapted to slidably embrace the beads, the pull-tab 8 shown separate, Fig. 11, having parallel sides with inturned trunnions 19 at one end mounted in slots 15 formed in the channel edges and secured therein by pressing in or upsetting the material in the region of the slot. The other end has a cross-bar 20, to which is secured the second article 7 to be fastened. A second cross-bar 21 serves as a locking member which engages between adjacent beads external to the slider body, the bar having a notch 22 which embraces, with clamping fit, the taper portion 4b between the beads. The bar 20 is raised somewhat, so that pull on article 7 holds the bar 21 in engagement. The Specification describes the formation of a non-metallic slider body by extruding from a cylinder press through a die, a 'strip of material such as synthetic resin of suitable channel cross-section, the slots 15 being formed by a circular saw, the requisite length of strip to form the body beng severed by a second cutter.
