Patent FI-931478-A (FI)
Inventor: RUDE EDWARD T
IPC: E06B9/32
Filed: 1993-04-01
Abstract: Headrail hardware to lift and tilt a Venetian blind is provided. A single control (5) operates both the lift and the tilt function. A multiturn band brake tilter (19) is used with each ladder cord (15) in a way that reduces the frictional forces encountered in lifting or lowering the blind. One end of each of the ladder cords is attached to an arm (21) of its tilter. The tilters are disposed directly about the rotating drive rod (11) with no intermediate parts, and are supported by cradles (17) that mount in the headrail rather than by the drive rod (11) as in prior art blinds. The drive rod (11) rotates the tilters (19) and the lifting mechanism until the tilters (19) contact stops built into each of the cradles (17). Further rotation keeps the blind fully tilted while lifting or lowering of the blind continues. In the preferred embodiment, the lift cords (13) are attached to the drive rod (11), which traverses to accumulate the cords (13) in a single layer as the rod (11) is rotated to lift the blind. The rotation of the rod (11) within the tilters (19) greatly reduces the lateral force needed to traverse the rod (11). An innovative bearing support (41) is provided so that the weight of the blind is transferred from the tilter (19) directly to the cradle (17), further reducing the frictional drag on the traversing rod (11).

Abstract: 620,566. Mounting bearings. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., WOODFIELD, T. H., and MORTON, C. J. Jan. 15, 1945, No. 1167. [Class 12 (i)] A ball bearing mounting to obviate creep and to avoid the necessity for extreme accuracy in machining bearing housings comprises between the outer race and the housing a member having a series of spaced resilient members acting radially on the outer periphery of the outer race together with resilient means, integral with or separate from the preceding means, acting axially on the outer race. As shown in Fig. 2, the actual ball bearing being omitted for convenience of illustration, a ball bearing for a shaft 3 is mounted in its housing 4 by the interposition of arched resilient fingers 7 which bear on points around the periphery of the outer race, these fingers being formed by bending up from a washer disc of resilient material 5, Fig. 3, radially extending fingers 6 to form a cup-like member and then curving the fingers in a circumferential direction. Intermediate fingers 8 are doubled back to exert a light axial thrust on the outer race, thereby to eliminate play between the balls and the races; small bosses 9 are stamped in the washer to serve as stops thereby preventing excessive compression of the doubled-back fingers 8. The axial thrust may be given by circularly extending flaps pressed out from the body of the washer, Fig. 5 (not shown), or by an auxiliary undulating washer, Fig. 8 (not shown), tagged to the main washer. The stops 9 may be replaced by a ring of wire tagged to the washer.

Title: Multiple Zone Well Completion with Common Inlet and Production Tubings
Inventor: COBERLY CLARENCE JAMES
IPC: E21B43/14
Filed: 1968-01-09
Abstract: 1,161,466. Wells. KOBE Inc. 9 Jan., 1968. No. 1334/68. Heading E1F. A well installation having at least an upper and lower producing zones (both not shown) comprises a production tubing 40, an inlet tubing 38 connected to tubing 40 as by tube 110, a valve 106 for selectively permitting fluid flow from one of the zones to the inside of inlet tubing 38, a fluid operated pump 46 in the production tubing for pumping fluid from the inlet tubing upwardly through the production tubing, tubing 52 for supplying operating fluid to the pump, and a valve 102 in tubing 52 and operable from the surface for operating valve 106. As described valve 102 is operated by a reduction and then a restoration in the fluid pressure in tubing 52 causing a spring-pressed piston to reciprocate in the valve. The reciprocation of the piston is converted by ratchet means (222)-(232) (Figures 10 and 11) into a rotary motion of a sleeve (226) to switch operating fluid return pipe 54 from one fluid exhaust pipes 258 or 260 to the other. On the reduction of the fluid pressure, valve 106 falls under gravity to an inoperative position, and on restoration of the pressure it rises to one of two operative positions in which the piston 302 blocks off the port 262 or 264 of pipe 258 or 260 respectively depending on which pipe is connected to return pips 54. These two operative positions are the positions where radial passages in the valve 106 are connected either directly, or through conduits extending vertically through the valve housing, to radial passages in the tubing 38 in the upper or lower zones. If there are more than two zones, say "n" zones, then an additional fluid exhaust pipe is (provided for each additional zone and sleeve (226) rotates 1/n<SP>th</SP> of a revolution for each reciprocation of the piston so that each zone is connected in turn. Alternatively valves 102 and 106 may be operated electrically. Tanks are arranged at the surface to collect separately from each zone gas from tubing 38 and oil from tubing 40 with valves being arranged to switch the flow to a different tank where valve 106 switches to a different zone-time delay devices being used for the valves controlling the oil flow. A master valve similar to valve 102 is used to control the valves. Fluid from tubing 52 urges piston 286 in valve 106 upwardly to expand radically expansible packers (274), (275) and (276) (Figure 2) and to set slips 271. The valve 106 is withdrawable by means of a fishing tool, with the slips being released by a cam action during the start of the withdrawal, and the pressure on piston 286 being removed by a further tool breaking a plug extending into the interior of the valve from the piston chamber.

Filed: 1929-01-15
Abstract: 326,597. Heide, H. C., (Fox, W.). Jan. 15, 1929. Panoramic kinematography; kinematograph apparatus.-In kinematograph cameras for taking panoramic pictures of the type comprising a revolying lens, the speed of rotation of the lens is relatively slow and uniform during the exposure period and is relatively high between exposures while the speed of the operating handle is constant so as to enable the rapidity of the succession of pictures to be maintained and at the same time ensure proper exposure. The lens 45. Fig. 1, and its housing 42 are carried by a shaft 35 which is driven from a countershaft 21 which is in turn driven by a crank arm 12, bevel gearing 11, 14, shaft 13 and toothed gearing 15, 18, 22. The shaft 35 carries a cross-head 36 in which slides a bar 37 carrying a pin 39 and roller 40. The pin passes through and is driven by a slotted arm 27 on the shaft 21 and the roller 40 runs in a fixed cam groove 31, Fig. 6, mounted on the bearing sleeve of the shaft 21. The form of the cam groove is such as to provide a slow uniform movement of the lens during the exposure period and a rapid movement during the period in which the shutter is closed and the film is being advanced. To provide for focusing the lens, the bearings of the shafts 35, 21 are carried by slides 33, 24 which are simultaneously adjusted by screwed shafts driven from a hand-operated shaft 49 by bevel gearing the amount of adjustment being indicated by a traveller 60 and scale 61. The gearing between the operating handle 12 and the shaft 21 is shown in Fig. 2, and comprises links 16, 19 between the shafts 13, 17, 21 carrying the toothed pinions 15, 18, 22. The shutter 71 is mounted on a shaft 69 which is splined to a bevel wheel 65 engaging a bevel wheel 41 on the shaft 35 and rotatably carried in a yoke 66 mounted on bearing thereof. The film holder is concave towards the lens and comprises two clamping-members 76 and an adjustable spring 77.

Title: Semiconductor devices and methods for producing them
IPC: H01L21/00
Filed: 1962-01-16
Abstract: 929,477. Semi-conductor devices. HUGHES AIRCRAFT CO. Jan. 16, 1962 [Feb. 24, 1961], No. 1556/62. Class 37. A rectifier comprises a semi-conductive slice 21 on which a second slice 22 is bonded by means of an insulating layer 23, an electrode 32 being made to form a PN junction with an exposed part of the slice 21 within a cavity 28 of the second slice 22, a conductive cap 34 sealing off the cavity and making contact with the electrode 32. A second conductive cap 31 is attached beneath the slice 21. A number of such rectifiers are made at the same time from a large slice of silicon 21 of 0.55 ohms/cm. secured to a second slice of inferior silicon 22 by means of an intervening layer of glass 23. The slice 22 and glass layer 23 are drilled ultrasonically to provide a number of pits 28. The final layer of glass may be removed by etching with hydrofluoric acid to expose the silicon slice 21. A second ultrasonic tool may now be employed to separate the slice into separate pitted portions. A cap 31 of an alloy known under the Trade name "Kovar" and which is plated with gold with 0.1 to 0.5% by weight antimony or arsenic, is alloyed to the bottom of the slice 21. A gold or aluminium wire 32 with 2.5% by weight of gallium or 1% by weight of boron is electroformed on to the exposed surface of the silicon slice to form a PN junction therewith. As shown in Fig. 7 a cap 34 of molybdenum or tantalum coated with a layer of gold and an overcoat of tin is alloyed to the top of the slice 22 to seal off the cavity 28 while making contact with the electrode 32. The layer of tin enables the cap 34 to be alloyed at a temperature which does not disturb the cap 31. The silicon slice 21 may be doped with boron in which event the electrode 32 contains from 0.1% to 0.5% by weight of arsenic or antimony. The slice 21 may be N-type germanium with the gold electrode 32 containing boron, gallium, or indium; or may be P-type germanium with the gold electrode containing arsenic or antimony. As shown in Fig. 8 the cap used to cover the cavity 28 may be of gold-plated tantalum, like the cap 31, but be perforated so that it can be alloyed on to the slice 22 at the same time as cap 31 is alloyed on to slice 21 but still allow the electro-forming of the junction with electrode 32. When the junction has been formed, a solder pellet 37 is melted into the perforation of cap 36 to seal off the cavity and connect the electrode 32. The glass seal is chosen to have a coefficient of expansion equal to that of the semi-conductor slices.
