Title: Disconnectable coupling for pipes
IPC: F16L37/23
Filed: 1978-05-30
Abstract: In the case of a quick-release coupling for connecting two lines, the two coupling pieces (2, 4) are of different diameters and engage in one another, forming an annular space. Located in the annular space is an elastic sealing ring (7) which is pressed against the two coupling pieces (2, 4) by means of an adjusting ring (11). The adjusting ring (11) is arranged in a sliding manner on the coupling piece (4) having the smaller diameter and makes it possible to connect the two coupling pieces in a positively-locking manner. This quick-release coupling is particularly suitable for lines for conveying cryogenic media, since it is insensitive to temperature-dependent material shrinkages. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements relating to sealing devices between a rotating part and a fixed part
IPC: F04D29/12
Filed: 1957-07-30
Abstract: 823,676. Stuffing-box substitutes. AMIRAULT, M., and DESTOUMIEUX, P. July 30, 1957 [Aug. 14, 1956], No. 24171/57. Class 122 (5). A seal between two relatively rotatable parts 5, 8, Fig. 1, comprises an elastic ring 19 carrying a friction ring 1 which is resiliently urged by a spring 7 into contact with the coacting part 8 and so arranged that, for low frictional torques between it and the part 8, the frictional resistance is overcome by the elastic ring itself, and, for higher torques, by the engagement of rigid elements. As shown in Fig. 1, the friction ring 1 is clamped to the elastic ring 19 by an outer cage 3 and to the shaft 5 by a ring 6. A cross-piece 4 fixed to the cage 3 carries one or more extensions C engaging with considerable clearance a slot f in a radial flange b of the ring 6. The spring 7 acts between cross-piece 4 and the flange b to urge the ring 1 into rubbing contact with the coacting sealing face 8. During normal running, the extension C lies centrally of the slot f but, upon starting, in order to overcome the static friction or sticking between the ring 1 and face 8, it engages one or other of the edges of the slot and so overcomes the adhesion between these parts. The association between the ring 1 and shaft 5 may be increased by providing tongues i (Fig. 2, not shown), on the flange b entering a slot j in a shouldered portion 9 of the shaft. More than one set of co-operating slots f and tongues C may be provided. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the extension C is provided on a member 23 encircling the cage 3 and engages a slot f in the shouldered portion 9 of the shaft; the spring 7 is then positioned between the cross-piece 24 and the ring 6 and may, in order to reinforce the torque-transmitting effect of the diaphragm, have its ends bent so as to engage with a boss on the ring and with the cross-piece. The further modification shown in Fig. 6 shows the cage 3 as provided with an extension 25 overlying an extension of the ring 6 and pushed axially by the spring 7. In a still further modification as shown in Fig. 7, the sealing arrangement may be reversed, the elastic ring 12 being fixed in a housing 10 with the friction ring 11 engaging a shoulder 13 on the shaft 14; a tongue l located in a clearance slot m formed in a ring 16 to give the same operational effect as previously described. The elastic ring may be formed with integral positioning-bosses engaging in the slots j, Fig. 1, formed in the shoulder portion 9. Splines or driving dogs may be used instead of the slots f and tongues C.

Abstract: 1,013,881. Telegraphy. PLESSEY CO. Ltd. June 15, 1962 [July 5, 1961], No. 24223/61. Drawings to Specification. Heading H4P. In a telegraphy system in which a transmitter normally controls a remote printer, the transmitter can also control an extra remote unit by first transmitting a special sequence of characters, such as LS, FS, LS, FS, which sequence, while causing no print-out, is recognized by the extra unit which then inhibits the printer and responds itself to subsequent transmission. When control of the extra unit is finished a further special sequence or character is transmitted which causes the system to revert to normal. This facility is said to be of use in two-channel systems where, if an error is detected on one channel, normal transmission can be interrupted immediately in the other channel to cause the error containing data to be repeated, and also in systems in which data from one centre is transmitted via a central station to a second centre, where when the transmission path to the second centre becomes free transmission on a path from the central station to the first station is interrupted to notify the fact that the required path is now free.
