Abstract: 598,047. Sectional building-units for houses &c. ATHERTON, T. J. Nov. 8, 1944, No. 16218/43. [Class 20(ii)] Prefabricated building units for the construction of dwelling houses &c. comprise a plate of metal or plastic material having one edge joggled to form an offset portion 2, Fig. 1, and provided along the opposite edge with a box-girder 6. The box-girder portion has holes 8 for accommodating water, gas or electric supply services. The ends of the box-girder may have tongues 7. The unit shown in Fig. 1 when inverted as in Fig. 3 may form the central portion of a foundation member for a wall, adjacent units, Figs. 2, 4, having surfaces 9 offset from the marginal portion 2, to overlap the part 2 of the central unit, grooves or ribbed channels 3, 4, 5 being provided for the spacing of the plates to receive a layer of bituminous or other sealing compound. A wall unit for use midway between the ends of a wall may have box-girders 13, 14, Fig. 5, along each vertical edge, adjacent wall units having a box-girder along only one vertical edge. In each case tongues 7 project beyond the box girder 6 on the base edge, for connection to the tongues 7 on the foundation members. Wall units at the ends of a wall are coupled by plates with box-girders, either internally of the walls as in Fig. 12 or externally of the walls as in Fig. 14, the box-girders of the coupling members being secured by bolts 25 and nuts 24, the latter being welded to one of the box-girders. Corner pieces are fitted over the corners of the foundation members and of the walls. The foundation may be of concrete reinforced by a bar 33, Fig. 23, having shouldered studs 28 and screwed nipples 30, the nipples receiving bolts to secure a floor unit, Fig. 24, through which the studs 28 pass to carry and be secured to the boxgirders of the foundation units. The floor unit may be formed as in Fig. 25 in which case the foundation units may be omitted.

Abstract: 1508554 Pressure vessel supporting arrangement WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP 22 April 1976 [25 April 1975] 16307/76 Heading G6C A nuclear reactor pressure vessel has a flange 36 around its upper periphery whereby it is supported within a containment structure by bolting flange 36 to a support ring 56 mounted on a ledge 50 of the containment structure, the vessel being sealed by a plug assembly of which an outer annular member 24 is connected to the upper surface 52 of flange 36 through plug riser 34. As shown the plug assembly also includes intermediate annular member 22 and inner eccentrically located member 20, the mounting of the three members by means of riser members 34, 32 and 30 permitting their rotation. A liquid sodium trap 68 between plug member 24 and flange 36 prevents escape of fluid from the reactor vessel, and ring 74 reduces radiation reading annular space 66. Supporting the vessel by means of ring 56 imparts a degree of resilience to the assembly.

Title: Improvements in and relating to expansible bracelets and the like
IPC: A44C5/08
Filed: 1920-06-17
Abstract: 168,191. Elite Bracelet Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Cohen, J., and Stoll, G. June 17, 1920. Bracelets.-In an expanding bracelet in order to obtain a large degree of expansion, the spring d contained in each inner slotted link a has a floating abutment against the cross-bar c of the outer link b so arranged in relation to the crossbar c as to carry the point of abutment of the spring, when under compression, beyond the cross-bar. The cross-bars c, Figs. 2 and 4, have heads e retained in sliding engagement with the hollow links b by turned-over flanges f, and each abutment for a spring d comprises a flanged thimble j passing through a collet or eye h on the cross-bar. When the bracelet is expanded, the compressed spring d projects the thimble j through the cross-bar, as shown in Fig. 4, against a weak spring l which surrounds the thimble and returns it when the bracelet is unexpanded as shown in Fig. 2. The other end of the spring may be guided by a peg m on the end of the link a. In a modification, Figs. 6 and 8, the ends of each cross-bar turn on rivets g on the links b and are retained by burring the rivets. The thimble is prevented from coming out of the collet h by a strip of metal k passed through two slits in the top of the thimble.

Title: Method of casting
IPC: B22D15/02
Filed: 1965-04-15
Abstract: 1,068,677. Casting processes; making valves. EATON " YALE & TOWNE Inc." April 15, 1965 [May 5, 1964], No. 16362/65. Heading B3A and B3F. In a method of making a smooth-surfaced metal object such as a valve plate, a mould is provided which has one or more serrations in at least one face of the mould cavity so that when pouring molten metal into the mould to form the plate, ridges are formed on the plate when the metal has solidified. These ridges are subsequently removed by machining for example, grinding, so as to form a smooth-surfaced article. The ridges perform the function of collecting the inclusions and impurities during the casting process, these defects being removed during the subsequent machining operation. The surface of the mould in which the serrations are formed may be flat or curved or formed by a solid of revolution.

Abstract: 813,080. Bending glass sheets. PITTSBURGH PLATE GLASS CO. May 27, 1957 [June 15, 1956], No. 16707/57. Class 56. Adjacent the outboard extremity of each hinged end section 30 of a sectionalised glass bending mould 20 a rod 82 is rotatably mounted. Two sets of ears 78, 80 project from these rods, the sets being in different planes, and each rod is provided with weighted lever ends 98. Initially the ears 78 underlie the ends of the flat glass sheets G, and the ears 80 engage the vertical edges of the ends of the sheets thereby ensuring the correct positioning of the sheets upon the open mould: As the glass softens the weights 102 cause the rods to rotate and eventually the ears 80 engage the extremities of the upper face of the sheet to pinch the sheet to the mould and thereby prevent it from sliding off. The amount of rotation of the rods is adjustably limited. Specification 784,115 is referred to.

(Also in Group XXX] A conveyer system for sheets of fragile baked confection, such as sponge cake, comprises a delivery conveyer band, such as an oven band, passing around a drum, a receiving conveyer band having at least an initial length of its upper run in substantially the same plane as the upper run of the delivery band and being lapped to form a receiving edge close to but spaced from the delivery band, and air pressure means arranged to direct air into the bight between the two bands to assist the detachment of the sheet from the deliveiy band and to restrain the unsuppoi ted length of sheet against undue bending during transfer from one band to the other. As shown, a sheet 30 of sponge cake is fed by an oven band 1 to a conveyer band 4 which is lapped about an adjustable blade 5 to form a receiving edge, the sheet being detached from the band 1 by air blown through a nozzle 22. This nozzle is formed by walls 21 which extend over the whole length of an air duct 19 connected to a compressed air pipe 28 and extending transversely between two walls 9. The duct is carried by crank arms 20 fixed to spindles 23 rotatable in the walls 9, and its position may be adjusted by a handle 24 fixed to one of the spindles, the boss 25 of the handle having a spring-loaded pin 26 which may be engaged in any one of a number of holes 27 in the outer face of the adjacent wall 9.
