Title: Tensioning of wires strands cables and ropes
IPC: E01D19/16
Filed: 1972-03-03
Abstract: 1379951 Tensioning wires; drawing BRIDON Ltd 7 Feb 1973 [3 March 1972] 10154/72 Headings B3E and B3P [Also in Division D1] A method of applying tension to an electrically conductive line during a manufacturing or installation process comprises restraining the line against motion at a first location and acting on the line at a second location by a moving magnetic field generated by a linear inductor so that the inductor and the line together function as a linear induction motor to put the line under tension. In Fig. 1 a plurality of wires 1 are held at one station 4 by a releasable clamp 10. The wires 1 pass over rollers 18 and thence through a copper armature block 19 of a linear induction motor. The block 19 is initially coupled to a stationary inductor 23 by removable pins. When the motor is actuated the wires 1 endeavour to travel along the axis of the magnetic field created by the inductor. This causes the wires to be individually pre-stressed with the same tension. Following this initial pre-stressing, hydraulic jacks 29, 30 are actuated to lock the wires 1 relatively to the armature 19. The pins locking the armature 19 to the stationary inductor 23 are then removed and the power supply to the inductor is raised to apply a requisite load to the wires collectively. When the wires have been sufficiently stretched the inductor 23 is switched off, the clamps 10, 29, 30 are released, and the armature 19 is locked and secured. The treated length of wires is then withdrawn by take-up reels so that a further length of wire to be treated is pulled into the apparatus.  In Fig. 8 the linear induction motor 51 acts on a loop of wire 47, the loop being held by clamps 36 and 49 during the stretching operation. After the stretching operation the clamps 36, 49 are released, the stretched wires are wound on to drum 50 and fresh wires to be stretched are wound off drum 35. In a modified construction the linear motor serves to back-tension wires before they are pulled through reducing dies.

Title: Improvements in the production of polymeric products
Inventor: BROWN FRANK
IPC: C08F218/08
Filed: 1950-04-26
Abstract: Stable aqueous dispersions of a copolymer of vinyl acetate and sym-dichloroethylene, in which the majority of particles of copolymer have a diameter of between 0.2 and 2 microns, are prepared by agitating at polymerization temperature a dispersion of vinyl acetate and sym-dichlorothylene, preferably the trans isomer thereof, in an aqueous medium containing a peroxygen compound such as ammonium or alkali metal persulphates, perborates and percarbonates, hydrogen peroxide, cumene hydroperoxide, and tert-butyl hydroperoxide, and an emulsion stabilizer comprising a protective colloid such as gum tragacanth, gum acacia, gelatine, glue, methyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, or a water soluble partially hydrolysed polyvinyl carboxylic acid ester, and a polyethylene oxide/alcohol condensation product. The aqueous medium may also contain buffering agents such as sodium bicarbonate, and emulsifying agents such as ammonium and alkali metal salts of long chain aliphatic carboxylic acids, or a water soluble sulphonated long chain aliphatic alcohol, or an acid, ester or salt of such a compound.  Copolymerization may be carried out by initially adding all the monomeric materials to the aqueous medium or by adding them gradually as the reaction proceeds.  The aqueous dispersion so produced may be used for the production of impregnating and coating compositions by incorporating therein plasticizers such as dibutyl phthalate and tricresyl phosphate, and fillers such as barytes, ochre, lithopone, iron oxides, chalk and titanium dioxide.  The plasticizer is preferably incorporated in the copolymer dispersion either by passing a mixture of plasticizer and dispersion through a homogenizer or by previously dispersing the plasticizer in water containing a dispersing agent compatible with the copolymer dispersion and subsequently mixing the plasticizer and copolymer dispersions.  The Provisional Specification describes also the copolymerization in aqueous media of vinyl carboxylic acid esters with chlorinated alkenes other than those specified above such as trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, and 1, 2-dichloropropene.
Patent GB-720881-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to control valves
Inventor: HOLM HANS FESER
IPC: F15B13/04
Filed: 1953-04-15
Abstract: 720,881. Valves; fluids, regulating volume of flow of. SMALLPIECE, Ltd. April 15, 1953, No. 10263/53. Class 135. A valve, suitable for controlling the operation of a double-acting fluid-pressure jack, is fitted with a timing device which delays the return stroke of the valve from the one limiting position to the other. At rest, the valve 6 would be in its right-hand position in which pressure fluid applied through a conduit 8 flows to one end of the jack through conduit 10 and the return conduit 9 from the other end of the jack would be connected to an exhaust conduit 11. To move the valve to the left-hand position shown, a three-way, spring-loaded, auxiliary valve, normally open to exhaust, is actuated to apply pressure-fluid to the chamber 13. Valve 6 now connects conduit 10 to exhaust conduit 12 and conduit 9 to the pressure-fluid supply 8, and pressure-fluid also enters the hollow stem of the valve through a radial passage 43 and flows past a series of restrictors 44, Fig. 2, into a chamber 28. At the same time, the full fluid-pressure acts differentially through passages 27, 19 on the right-hand face of a piston 24 and the small exposed area of a valve 20 both carried by the valve stem. The valve 6 will thus be kept in its left-hand position until the pressure in chamber 28 builds up to equalize that acting on the right-hand face of piston 24 and, when this happens, the valve 6 will start to return to its right-hand position, the valve 20 will open to vent passage 19 to exhaust at 23, and valve 6 will then quickly complete its return movement. In the right-hand position of valve 6, chamber 28 is vented through passages 26. The position of piston 32 in chamber 28 can be adjusted by means of a knob 36 and screw 33 so that the volume of the chamber and, hence, the time taken for the pressure to build up therein can be varied.

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for coiling or winding cables, wire ropes, or the like
IPC: B65H55/04
Filed: 1921-04-07
Abstract: 182,574. Steele, W. R. April 7, 1921. Coiling and uncoiling.-Cables, ropes, &c. are given an initial twist during winding on a former so as to prevent kinking when they are uncoiled from a stationary coil. This twist is opposite and substantially equal to that developed during uncoiling from a stationary coil formed in the ordinary manner. The cable A<x>, Fig. 3, is delivered from a feed-drum B, journaled in a gimbal frame B<1>, through a hollow trunnion b<1 >of the frame B<1> to a former drum A mounted on a shaft A', which is rotated by crank handles or other operating-gear. The former drum is constructed as shown in Fig. 2. A belt a<3> working over pulley a<2>, b' rotates the gimbal frame; the gear-ratio should be one revolution of the gimbal frame for each revolution of the former. An adjustable brake B<x> on the drum B maintains a slight tension in the cable. If the coil, after winding, is supported in a container, no lashing is necessary to prevent the individual coils from falling apart during uncoiling by pulling the inner end.

Title: Improvements relating to apparatus for taking oil samples from deep wells, applicable for similar purposes
IPC: E21B49/08
Filed: 1932-04-12
Abstract: 404,678. Withdrawing samples from oil wells. ANGLO-PERSIAN OIL CO., Ltd., Britannic House, Finsbury Circus, London.-(Matthews, R. C. S., and Gibson, H. S. ; Masjid-i-Suleiman, Persia.) April 12, 1932, No. 10410. [Class 102 (ii).] Apparatus for withdrawing samples from oil wells comprises a cylinder 1, Fig. 1, and piston 2 which are lowered into the well by a cable 6 attached to an extension 4 of the piston-rod 3, the piston being retained in its lowest position by a pin 15, which engages a groove 7 in the extension 4. When the apparatus has been lowered a weight 26 is dropped down the cable and strikes a lever 12, which withdraws the pin 15. The cylinder then falls and oil enters past a valve 19, which has wings guided in a recess in the cylinder head 17 and engages a seating 23 screwed into the cylinder head. When the apparatus has been withdrawn from the well the inlet passage is closed by a plug 24. The oil may be discharged by means of a screwdown valve 20 after an extension 18 has been unscrewed from the cylinder head. In a modification, Fig. 2, levers 37 pivoted to the cylinder head 30 carry rollers 49, which engage a groove in the extension 41 secured to the piston-rod 32. The levers 37 are drawn together by springs 45 and are tripped by a falling weight. When the cylinder has reached its lowest position the rollers 49 engage beneath the extension 41. A recess on the under surface of the piston 33 has spring fingers adapted to grip the head of the inlet valve 38 and when the cylinder falls the piston retains the valve until a bridge 65 carried by the cylinder head strikes the end of an extension 70 attached to the valve rod. At the same time a pin 78 carried by the extension 70 trips latches 75 and so frees levers 69, which are pivoted to the bridge 65 and are drawn together by springs 74. When the valve 38 closes by gravity, rollers 73 carried by the levers 69, engage the upper surface of a head 72 on the extension 70 and hold the valve 38 closed. The cylinder is discharged through a passage in the bridge 65 controlled by a screw-down valve.
