Title: Improvements in or relating to terminations for electric cables
IPC: H02G15/04
Filed: 1945-08-23
Abstract: 597,607. Cable joints. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd., and LEE, E. C. Aug. 23, 1945, No. 21611. [Class 38 (i)] In a cable termination, the insulation 2 is stripped back from each conductor 1, the lead sheath 3 is stripped back further, and the conductors are inserted into passages in a ceramic bush 4. Metal eyelets are fitted in the passages and are spun over at each end, a resilient washer 6 being provided at the lower end of each eyelet to equalize the strain on the surface of the ceramic. A groove 7 is cut in the periphery of the ceramic bush, while the upper end of each eyelet lies in a recess, and both the interior of the groove and of the recess are coated with metal. The conductors 1 are soldered at 8 to the eyelets through which they pass, and to the surrounding metallized area of the ceramic. A metal sleeve 9 is passed over the ceramic block, its edge is rolled into the groove 7, and soldered to the metallized surface of the groove. The other end of the sleeve 9 is reduced to fit the cable sheath 3 and is sweated to it at 10. Filling compound may be introduced through a threaded hole 11 from a collapsable tube 12, the hole being subsequently plugged and hermetically sealed. In other forms of the invention (not shown) the metal sleeve may be sealed to the cable sheath by a compression joint, or the sleeve may be externally threaded and fitted with fixing nuts. The eyelets may be formed with externally screwthreaded extensions to which terminal posts may be fitted, or terminal tags may be held in position under the eyelet heads and soldered with the latter to the metallized ceramic surface. In another form of the invention, separate ceramic blocks have eyeletted passages through which the individual conductors pass. The eyelets are spun over the upper ends of the blocks, and the conductors are soldered to them and to the adjacent metallized surface of the ceramic. A flange at the lower end of each block is metallized and to it is soldered a brass bush which may be soldered to a metallic sleeve, or threaded and screwed into a metal terminal box.

Title: Apparatus for producing incremental movement
IPC: G06K15/06
Filed: 1970-05-06
Abstract: 1311754 Printers MOHAWK DATA SCIENCES CORP 6 May 1970 [24 June 1969] 21936/70 Heading G4H [Also in Division H2] A line printer comprises a rotating drum 1 carrying the type, a hammer module 8 carrying four hammers 8a and movable in steps along a line parallel to the drum, and a feeding mechanism (not shown) for feeding paper between the hammers and the drum. Except when moving from one line to the next, four adjacent characters are printed during every alternate revolution of the drum, the intermediate revolutions allowing time for the hammer module to move laterally to its next position and for new data to be requested. Hammer operating arrangement.-A disc 20 mounted on the shaft la of the drum is interposed between a light source 21 and a bank of photodetectors 22. For each line of type on the drum the disc has a radial row of indicia, the six inner indicia providing at the photodetector output a binary-coded signal representing the corresponding line of type. Data is supplied in batches of four characters at a time (each represnted by a six-bit signal) to comparators 24a-24d, and when an input signal matches that from the photodetector a corresponding hammer driver 28a-28d is operated, subject to the existence of a signal at the output of a control gate 27. The AND gate 27 receives a marking pulse at each angular position of the disc, a print signal from a flip-flop 40 and a control signal (29). Shifting the hammer module.-Flip-flop 30 is switched once per revolution of the drum so that control gate 27 is readied in alternate revolutions only. On the intermediate revolutions pulse generator 32 is fired to trigger a control 37 for shifting the hammer module one position laterally using a linear stepping motor and to request new data (43). When the hammer module reaches the end of the line it mechanically closes a switch 19b to advance the paper (39) and to change the state of flip-flop 40, thus removing the print signal from control gate 27. No printing can now take place until pulse generator 32 has supplied sufficient pulses to step the hammer module back to the beginning of the line, when a switch 19a is closed to switch back the flip-flop 40. Closure of the main switch 38 to activate the printer is also arranged (41) to change the state of flip-flop 40 so that no printing can take place initially until the hammer module has been shifted to the beginning of the line.

Abstract: <FORM:0888294/IV (c)/1> <FORM:0888294/IV (c)/2> Filamentary material (defined as including textile fabrics, filaments, fibres and films) is treated by drawing it through a bed of solid discrete particles whilst drawing a gaseous current through the bed by applying suction to the region adjacent and above the bed, thus forming a fluidised bed.  As shown, the bed may comprise a rectangular container 10 for bed particles differing from each other in diameter by not more than about 200 microns, and selected from a diameter range of 100-1,200 microns, said container having a gradually decreasing crosssectional area from the region which effectively forms the base of the bed to a retracted opening or slit 12 through which the material 14 to be treated may pass, there being within the container heating means 40, e.g. a steam coil, and a suction device connected to a conduit 18 at the top of the container, and an aperture 17, suitably sealed to prevent loss of suction, for the withdrawal of the treated material. The suction device may comprise a vacuum pump, there being between the pump and the bed a filter bed 20 having a waterspray 21 therein and a cyclone 26 attached so as to remove moisture from air extracted from the bed.  The restricted opening 12 may be formed by providing a duct (not shown) of such a size that, when the bed is inoperative, bed particles may lie in the duct at their neutral angle of repose without spilling from the bed.  There may also be provided additional air distributers 42, louvres 41, an observation window 10a and a rotating bar 16 to remove adhering bed particles from the material. In an example a cotton cloth is padded in Procion Brilliant Blue RS in a dyebath 43, mangled between rollers 44 and passed through the bed at 190 DEG C.

[Also in Groups XIV, XXV and XL(c)] A mounting bracket for securing by means of a lashing to a chimney 32 or the like comprises members 10, 20 having portions adapted to extend partially around the chimney or the like and having portions adapted to engage and grip a mast or other member, such for instance, as part of an aerial, when tension is applied, by means of a lashing wire or the like extending around the chimney or the like, to the first mentioned portions. The members 10, 20 are identical and each has two limbs 11, 13, 21, 23 arranged in V-formation. The free end of each limb is bent around an arc of a circle corresponding approximately to the radius of curvature of the mast 30 or other part and the limbs 11, 21 have apertures 12, 22 which receive the ends of the limbs 13, 23 so that the bent portions of the limbs substantially encircle the mast or other part. Each of the members is provided with an apertured lug 15, 25 at the apex of the limbs, the lugs being apertured to receive screwthreaded J-bolts 16, 26 to which the wire lashing or the like is attached. The wire lashing or the like is tensioned by nuts 17, 27 on the J-bolts to attach the members 10, 20 to the chimney or the like. This tensioning also causes the members 10, 20 to pivot using the mast or other part as a fulcrum and causes the bent portions at the ends of each of the limbs to grip the mast or other part. The grip of the bent portions can be increased by the provision of additional clamping bolts between the extremities of the portions. If desired the two members 10, 20 can be connected together temporarily by a sheer pin or member such as a wire which is deformed when tension is applied to the lashing wire or the like.

Abstract: 888,828. Steam turbine plant. TURBIN AB DE LAVAL LJUNGSTOM. June 27, 1960, No. 22416/60. Class 110 (3). In a steam turbine plant for ships comprising a main steam turbine unit and steam turbinedriven auxiliaries, the auxiliary steam turbines are supplied from the main steam line and they exhaust to a primary exhaust system (distinct from the exhaust system of the main steam turbine unit) and steam is taken from the primary exhaust system at comparatively high pressure and led to heat-consuming apparatus. The primary exhaust system is connected by means of a pressure maintaining valve to a secondary exhaust system which is at a lower pressure than the primary system, the secondary system being also connected by means of a pipe line having a back-pressure valve with a low-pressure stage of the main turbine from which steam is obtained. The plant shown comprises a main steam turbine set comprising a high-pressure turbine 1 and a low-pressure turbine 2, the two turbines driving the propeller 4 through gearing 3. Steam is supplied through a pipe line 5 controlled by valve 6 and steam passes from the highpressure turbine to the low-pressure turbine through line 7. The exhaust outlet from the low-pressure turbine 2 is indicated at 2a. Auxiliary turbines 8 driving auxiliaries are supplied with steam from the line 5 through the branch 9, and the exhaust steam therefrom passes through valve-controlled lines 11 to the primary exhaust system 13. Steam is supplied from the latter through valve-controlled lines 15 and 18 to the combustion air preheater 14 and the deaerator preheater 17 respectively. The primary exhaust system 13 is connected by means of a pressure-maintaining valve 20 to the secondary exhaust system 21 from which steam is supplied through valve-controlled lines 22 to the feed water heater 24 and other heat-consuming apparatus 25. The secondary exhaust system 21 is also supplied with steam bled off from the low-pressure turbine 2 through a line 26 having a back-pressure valve 27. Surplus steam from the system 21 is led through a valve-controlled line 28 to a condenser. Steam is also bled off from the high-pressure turbine 1 through a valve-controlled line 31 to a second stage air preheater 30. The amount of exhaust steam in the primary exhaust system 13 may be supplemented by steam bled from the high-pressure turbine through lines 31 and 33 and pressure-reducing valve 34.
