Filed: 1926-06-02
Abstract: 268,182. Wiley, S. June 2, 1926. Pyrotechnic devices; dropping articles from a height.-A parachute flare intended to be dropped from an aircraft to illuminate its landing place comprises a case for the parachute and a case for the flare connected together or mounted one within the other and adapted to be used in conjunction with mechanical means on the aircraft for moving one case lengthwise in relation to the other or in relation to a detachable retaining end cap to release and drop the parachute and flare body. As shown in Fig. 2, the case 12 of the parachute 13, and the case 14 of the flare 15 are nailed to a plug 16. The parachute case is covered by a cap 27 provided with a flange 29 and a bail 30. These cases are fitted in a discharging tube 37, Fig. 9, on the aircraft and are supported by the flauge 29 on a flanged ring 40 adapted to be raised and lowered by a pulley mechanism 43, 44, 45. When the flanged ring 40 is raised by this mechanism it pulls the case 12 off the plug 16, the flare drops, and the parachute 13 is pulled out of its casing by a cord 32, which afterwards snaps. The parachute line 34, in extending, pulls on a wire 26 of an igniter 24 which fires the flare 15. In a modification, the flare is fired by a percussion cap ignited by a spring striker released by a lever when the parachute flare is pulled off. In another modification, the flare casing is enclosed within the parachute case which is closed at the bottom end by a cap secured by a ring. The flanged ring on the aircraft pulls the parachute case up from the ring securing the bottom cap, thereby releasing that cap and allowing the flare and the parachute to fall out of the parachute case.

Abstract: 662,992. Coating glass. COWAN, D. M. May 19, 1950 [May 25, 1949], No. 14003/49. Class 56 [Also in Group XX] A glass optical element, e.g. prism, lens, or mirror, has a surface coated with a fused coloured glass layer so that it presents an internally facing coloured matt surface, the layer being formed by roughening the surface, if it is not already roughened, applying a solution or paste containing ground glass or constituents which fuse to form glass, the fusion of the glass or constituents occurring below the temperature at which permanent unacceptable optical deformation of the element occurs, and heating the applied solution or paste to fuse the glass or constituents to form the matt surface. The surface is roughened mechanically by grinding or grit blasting or chemically by etching. The coating may comprise an enamel containing the ground glass &c., in a volatile suspension medium, and may be applied by brushing, spraying, dipping, printing, screening or by a transfer process. The volatile medium may be removed by normal drying with or without additional heat or air movement, or during the heating of the coating. After heating the element is carefully cooled to avoid the setting up of undue stresses, and after cooling any surface to be made reflective is silvered. The elements may be produced by coating the external surfaces of a block and then cutting the block into a number of elements. Prisms for periscopes and the rims of lenses are examples of elements which may be treated.

Title: Means for controlling the passage of adsorption media, catalysts and like materials from an upper chamber or zone to one below it or to a discharge device
IPC: B01D53/08
Filed: 1950-06-09
Abstract: <PICT:0714831/III/1> Apparatus for controlling the continuous or intermittent passage of adsorption media, catalysts, or like solid granular material, downwards from one zone to a lower zone or discharge device, comprises baffle plates and roof-like guiding plates of inverted-V or conical shape arranged above the baffle plates and adapted to guide the flowing material on to the baffle plates via apertures in the lower parts of the guide plates, of the walls of the upper zone, or of vertical walls disposed between the guide plates, apertures being provided in or between the baffles.  As shown in Fig. 1, granular material is directed by guide plates 16 through apertures 15 on to baffles 17; the guide plates 16 may be louvred, as shown at the right-hand side of this figure, and a gaseous contacting medium is introduced into the spaces under the guide plates and flows through the louvres in countercurrent to the solid material.  Fig. 2 shows a modification in which the material flows through apertures in vertical walls 23 and then through staggered apertures in baffle plates 21.  In Figs. 5 and 11 (not shown) pipes lead downwardly to a lower zone from the apertures in the baffle plates; this construction is advantageous when the cross-sections of the two zones differ or when the two zones operate at different pressures; gas may be introduced into the space surrounding the pipes and this space may contain a heat transfer material.  In Fig. 6 solid material flows through apertures 105 in a cylinder 103 on to baffles 106 and then through a smaller number of apertures 109 on to baffle plate 110 and thence to a single outlet pipe 108; gas is introduced at <PICT:0714831/III/2> <PICT:0714831/III/3> 127.  In Fig. 9 (not shown) the material flows through apertures in the wall of the upper vessel, over baffles in a casing outside the vessel, and to a common outlet pipe.  Reference is made to the use of active carbon as an adsorbent and silica gel as a catalyst. The apparatus ensures a uniform downward movement of the solid material and reduces attrition, so that coarse grained low density adsorption media may be used.  Apparatus is described, Fig. 12 (not shown), in which the devices are incorporated in a continuous adsorption apparatus comprising adsorption, desorption, and fractionation zones; this apparatus may be used for the separation of ethylene and ethane from coke oven gas.  Reference is made to the co-current passage of gas and solid material through the apparatus, the gas flowing at a considerably greater speed than the solids.

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for inserting and removing capsules of samples into and from an irradiation channel of a nuclear reactor
Inventor: GUYON GABRIEL
IPC: G21C1/30
Filed: 1961-04-24
Abstract: 943,657. Treating material in reactors. COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE. April 24, 1961 [April 26, 1960], No. 14728/61. Heading G6C. Apparatus for inserting capsules 15 of samples to be irradiated in a channel 22 in a reactor core 23 whilst the reactor is operating comprises a shielding plug 21 extending through the channel so as to leave a free space 3 at the end constituting the irradiation section b. A pair of capsule magazines 4 may be moved between the section b and a section a within the plug by threaded rods 12, 12<SP>1</SP> controlled by handwheels 10, the section a constituting a non-irradiation section and being protected by a cadmium screen 11. The capsule compartments 13 of the magazines are open both in a lateral and downward sense to permit removal of a capsule therefrom by a U-shaped clip 6. The clip 6 slides in a non-linear groove 7 formed in the plug 21, the two upright sides of the clip being connected to the ends of an endless, metal band 1 extending through the groove and guided by driving rollers 2. Thus one upright side of the clip 6 leads and the other trails relatively thereto depending on the direction of motion of the band. A transverse inner end section 7 of the groove extends across recesses 4<SP>1</SP> in the plug 21 which receive the magazines 4 when the latter are in the withdrawn position. The outer end of the groove 7 terminates in an input-output chamber 30 in the head 21' of the plug at the core face 5. To withdraw a capsule 15 from a magazine the magazine is first moved to its fully extended position or to a position in which an empty compartment is aligned with the transverse groove section 7'. The band 1 is moved by a handwheel 14 to bring the clip into the section 7<SP>1</SP> so that it straddles the desired magazine, the magazine now being moved by a handwheel 10 to bring the compartment 13 accommodating the selected capsule between the two upright sides of the clip. Displacement of the clip by handwheel 14 causes removal of the capsule from the magazine and the capsule is brought along groove 7 to the chamber 30. An ejector member 8 in the form of an inverted U is movable within the chamber 30 in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the plug 21 and this ejector is operated by a Bowden wire control 9 to remove the capsule from the clip 6 in a manner somewhat similar to that in which the clip removes the capsule from the magazine. Thus the capsule drops through a vertical duct 16 leading to the chamber 30 into a container 17.
