Abstract: 573,502. Electrical binding posts; insulators. HENLEY'S TELEGRAPH WORKS CO., Ltd., W. T., and MOOR, E. July 8, 1943, No. 11079. [Classes 36 and 38 (i)] [also in Groups XXV and XXVIII] A clamping device particularly described as applied inter alia, to securing an insulator 5, Figs. 1 and 2, in an apertured casing wall 7 comprises a ring having a base part 15 with an upstanding flange 16 at right-angles to the base, the flange having slots through which sliding pieces 22 can be inserted in contact with the base, clamping screws or bolts passing through holes in the base part and preferably, but not necessarily, through holes or slots in the sliding pieces. The shape of the ring conforms internally to the cross-sectional shape of the part to be secured and exteriorly may have any suitable form. Figs. 1, 2 show an insulator 5 inserted in an aperture in wall 7 until a flange 8 bears against a washer 10. To secure the insulator and clamp the flange tight against the washer, the ring is placed over the inner end of the insulator, sliding pieces 22 are then inserted in the slots so that their inner ends engage recesses 23 in the insulator, their outer ends being retained by the slots. Clamping screws 27 are then passed through the holes or slots in pieces 22 and screwed through tapped holes in base 15 so that their ends bear against the inner face of wall 7 and pull the flange 8 against washer 10. The insulator cross-section shown, which the interior of the ring fits over, is elongated with parallel sides and rounded ends, the ring being hexagonal exteriorly and two pieces 22 being used. The Specification also shows an insulator of circular cross-section, the ring being square exteriorly and using four pieces 22. If desired, the base may be cut away in places, or alternatively, the flange may be cut away to leave upstanding slotted lugs, the continuity of the ring remaining unimpaired in both cases.

IPC: G21C5/08
Filed: 1967-03-09
Abstract: 1,196,322. Moderator structures. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. 22 March, 1968 [9 March, 1967], No. 11222/67. Heading G6C. A reactor core structure includes columns of blocks of a moderating material, e.g. graphite, at least some of the columns having channel through the blocks, with the distances between the centres of the blocks being held constant by keys in keyways in the sides of the blocks extending for a distance less than the length of the blocks, a keyway in each block engaging two or more complete keys disposed in end to end abutment to key the block to a laterally adjoining block. In the embodiment described four adjacent octagonal blocks (Fig. 1, not shown) are keyed at adjacent surfaces by keys 3 in keyways 2 (Fig. 2) and at the four surfaces defining a central square channel by keys 6a formed integral with a key assembly 6 in keyways 4 (Fig. 3). Each keyway 2 engages two complete keys 3a, 3b, the total length of which is less than that of the keyway 2. The keys 3b are tapered at their lower ends 8. The keyways 2 are end-milled from the top of the blocks 1 for approximately half their length. When the tapered ends 8 of the keys 3b rest in rounded ends 9 of the keyways there is less chance of the keys jamming than if the ends 8 were of full width. The difference between the total length of the keys 3a, 3b and the keyways 2 is sufficient to ensure that differential shrinkage between two co-operating blocks 1 does not cause the key 3a to protrude beyond the upper surfaces of either of the blocks 1 on either side of it. The keyways 4 are identical with the keyways 2 in length and shape. Each set of two or more abutting key assemblies 6 is separated from a next set by a spacer block 10 which disposes each set of keys 6a in an intermediate portion of the keyways 4. The sum of the lengths of the keys 6a is less than that of the keys 3a, 3b because the differential shrinkage between a key assembly 6 and a block 1 is likely to be greater than that between two blocks 1. Instead of being end-milled, the keyways can be full-length slots with fillers or spacers in their lower ends.

Abstract: 638,830. Measuring bridges. SHORT BROS. (ROCHESTER & BEDFORD), Ltd., and LEWIS, G. A. April 28, 1947, No. 11298. [Class 37] [Also in Group XXXVIII] In apparatus for selecting and recording successive electric signals, a rotary stepping switch A successively selects the output signals from, e.g. a plurality of resistance bridge strain gauge circuits such as B. The D.C. unbalance signals are chopped, amplified, rectified and applied to deflect a pivoted arm D<2> carrying a conductor D<4> partially bridging the gap between two spark electrodes on opposite sides of a recording sheet D<1> traversed by motor D'. The drive cyclically closes switch E to discharge condenser F (previously charged through resistance H) through relay coils J, K. Contacts J<1>, K<1> instantaneously and respectively energize the spark generator L to record the position of arm D<2> and the operating coil A' to step the selector switch to the next strain gauge, for which the cycle is repeated. The chopper mechanism switch may operate other switches at a lower speed to cyclically impulse the switch operating the recorder and the selector switch. The apparatus is applicable to the measurement of D.C. signals other than those from strain gauges. Specification 636,214 is referred to.
