Title: Method and apparatus for laying pipeline
IPC: F16L1/18
Filed: 1970-03-10
Abstract: 1307252 Laying pipe-lines BROWN & ROOT Inc 10 March 1970 [9 April 1969] 18319/72 Divided out of 1307251 Heading F2P A method of laying a pipe-line on a submerged surface from a vessel including vessel propulsion means, comprises supporting a pipe-line from the vessel so that an upper portion is supported from the vessel and a generally submerged portion extends downwardly to the surface, imparting yieldable tension to the upper portion of the pipe-line to balance the thrust of the vessel propulsion means so that the vessel remains substantially stationary, reducing the level of tension imparted to the upper portion of the pipe-line substantially independent of the force exerted on the vessel by the propulsion means, the reduction in tension being operable to permit the vessel to move forward and so to cause feeding of a segment of the pipe-line from the upper portion towards the submerged portion and increasing the level of tension imparted to the upper portion so as to once again balance the thrust of the propulsion means and so prevent feeding of further segments. The upper portion may also be positively gripped by clamping means periodically and alternatively with the tensioning so that pipe-line segments may be added and a level of tension is maintained which will accommodate deviations in tensions resulting from environmental forces without deviating from a predetermined tension range. The upper portion of the pipe-line is supported from the laying vessel by a stringer and the yieldable tension is applied by an hydraulically operated torque wheel type tensioner, Fig. 2, consisting of upper and lower sets of wheels 23, 26, the upper set being hydraulically movable up and down relative to the lower set. The two sets are driven independently from separate hydraulic motors by suitable chain drives. The motors are such as to permit back turning thereof whilst still imparting tension to the pipe-line. The clamping means, Fig. 6, consists of three articulated segments 39a, 39b, 39c supported by frame members (37), 38 on rail means 44 on the vessel. Clamping on to the pipe is effected by means of threaded rod 41 engaging screwed blocks attached to the lower clamp segments 39b, 39c, the rod 41 being operated by hydraulic or electric motor 42. The clamping unit is connected to suitable load cells to indicate the tension being imparted to the pipe-line by the vessel through the clamping device. The method of laying has particular application in conjunction with that in Specification 1,307,251.

Title: Method of and device for marking materials
IPC: A41H1/06
Filed: 1954-06-23
Abstract: 755,287. Marking fabrics. ORTHWIN, S. O. June 23, 1954 [June 25, 1953; Feb. 16, 1954], No. 18360/54. Class 100 (2). [Also in Group XXIII] A method of applying a marking on a pattern to a fabric includes the steps of placing tailors' carbon paper between the pattern and the fabric, so that the coated side of the carbon paper contacts the fabric, and exerting an imping- ing thrust upon the marking on the pattern to create a corresponding mark on the fabric. The thrust is produced by a hand tool comprising a U-shaped resilient member 10 of steel, brass, wood or plastic, the lower leg 30a of which is provided with felt or rubber 34 and is used as a base, being placed on a table. The upper leg 30 supports in an opening a marker comprising a plunger having a knob 20 and a reduced portion 14, secured to the member 10 by a nut 32 screwed on to a threaded portion 12 of the plunger, and held against rotation by the depending flanges 13 of a reinforcing channel member 15 riveted to the member 10. The end of the portion 14 can be formed as a ring, star, line or dot. The plunger is interchangeable, being removed by rotating the knob. In another form the channel member 15 is omitted. The pattern and fabric are placed on the base 30a. If the pattern has the contour of a completed fabric garment piece, the fabric is placed on the base and the pattern on it. If the pattern has the contour of half the fabric, the latter is folded in half wrong side out on its line of symmetry and the transfer sheet is folded coated side inwards around it. If the carbon paper is coated on both sides, a sheet of paper is placed between the lower fold of the carbon paper and the base of the tool. To mark two layers of fabric, two sheets of carbon may be used, or one sheet folded as above.

Filed: 1954-06-23
Abstract: 775,432. Electromechanical filters. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. June 3, 1955 [June 23, 1954], No. 18483/54. Class 40 (8). An electromechanical filter comprises a circumferentially-polarized cylinder 1 of magnetostrictive ceramic material, e.g. " ferroxcube," supported upon an axial wire 2 for vibration in a torsional mode. The cylinder is carried from the wire by means of a borate bead 3 fused to both members, the area of contact between the bead and the cylinder being kept as small as possible. In order to key the bead firmly to the wire a few turns of fine copper wire may be wound upon it. Instead, the wire may be thickened or a short sleeve provided. The cylinder is surrounded by a glass envelope 7 which also encloses annular plugs 5, 6 of non- magnetostrictive " ferroxcube "material. These plugs ensure constant coupling conditions between the coil 10 and the cylinder 1 irrespective of the resonant frequency of the cylinder. The coil 10 comprises an input winding and an output winding having considerably more turns than the input winding. Circumferential polarization of the cylinder 1 is achieved by passing a current pulse along the wire 2.

Title: Improvements in and relating to remote control switching systems
IPC: H02J13/00
Filed: 1926-07-26
Abstract: 256,602. British Thomson-Houston Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Bird, L. F.). Aug. 5,1925, [Convention date]. Distant control systems.-An electric circuit is closed or opened from a remote point by impulses of short or long duration respectively. As shown in Fig. 4, a circuit 1 is closed by a switch 2 when the armature 8 is attracted by a relay 6 upon the receipt of a short impulse. The armature 8 enters a recess 4 and allows the member 3 to fall and close the switch 2. Upon cessation of the impulse the armature 8 falls back, under its own weight or the influence of a spring to the right hand side of the recces 4 as shown in Fig. 1 and the circuit is maintained closed. In the " open " and " closed " positions of the switch, an extension 9 of the armature 8 closes contacts 10, 12 to charge a condenser 13 and supply negative bias 14 to the grid of a discharge tube 14 to prevent a current flow through the tube 14 and a relav 7. When it is desired to open the circuit 1, an impulse of relatively long duration is transmitted and the armature 8 is attracted to permit the completion of a discharge circuit for the condenser 13 through the contacts 10, 15 and a resistance 16, and the production of a gradually increasing current through the tube 14 and relay 7. The contacts 10, 15 are maintained closed for a time sufficient to allow the current to reach a predetermined value which causes the relav 7 to attract the armature 18 and raise the member 3. To open the circuit 1 upon the cessation of the long impulse the armature 8 falls back beyond the recess 4 as shown in Fig. 4 since the relay 7 is maintained energized until the contacts 10, 12 are closed to supply negative bias to the grid of the tube 14. In this position the armature 8 engages an extension 5 of the member 3 to hold open the circuit 1. In a modification, Fig. 5, the operation of the relay 7 is controlled by a dashpot 19. The arm 20, controlled by the relay 7, is actuated only upon the receipt of a long impulse. Specification 255,845 is referred to.

July 26, 1926 Feeding webs.-In a machine for attaching price tickets or tags to materials by means of crimped pins, the connected tags are arranged in a roll in the machine, the tag strips being notched between adjacent tags. The strip 38 passes to a guide table 39 formed as a channel in which a spring plate 41 lies above the strip. A bar 45 at one side of the guide table slidably supports a tag feeding carriage. 48 which is reciprocated by a lever 50 and connections from the cam shaft including means for adjusting the travel of the carriage and a stop at the end of the travel. The carriage 48 is provided with two spring- pressed fingers 61, 62 of which the finger 61 engages a notch in the tag strip to feed the whole strip forward and the finger 62 engages the foremost tag, which has already been severed, to feed it to the pinning position. The finger 61 engages, for a part of its travel, over a solid part of the plate 41, so that the finger 62 moves the end tag a greater distance than the whole strip is moved. The end tag is engaged centrally of its rear edge to prevent binding in the guide channel 39. For printing on the end tag a type chase 66 is carried by a rocking lever 69 above a resilient pad 76.

Abstract: 1,046,956. Inverting. BORG-WARNER CORPORATION. May 5, 1964 [May 31, 1963], No. 18686/64. Heading H2F. In an inverter comprising a number of units such as 20A, 20B, 20C, each comprising a pair of series thyristors 29, 36 and commutating chokes 30, 35, across a D.C. supply 21, 22, a pair of commutating capacitors 31, 34 across the supply and a pair of reverse diodes 33, 37 and wherein the mid points of these circuits are connected to a common A.C. output terminal 26, means (as shown the components 51 ... 55) are provided to reduce the energy dissipated in commutation. The operation of the basic circuit, i.e. circuit without these means (Fig. 2, not shown), will be now described. With thyristor 36 conducting and thyristor 29 off the capacitor 31 is charged to the input voltage V. On firing thyristor 29 the capacitor 31 discharges through 29 and inductor 30, a voltage being induced in inductor 35 to shut off thyristor 36. The capacitor 31 and inductor 30 form a resonant circuit and after a quarter of a period the current reaches a maximum and the voltage across 30 reverses. The current flows through the diode 33 and thyristor 29 and is dissipated as heat. To avoid this dissipation the means 50 . . . 55 are provided. The current flows through the primary winding of the transformer 51 and hence is reduced so that less energy is dissipated in 29 and 33. The secondary current is returned to the supply via diodes 54, 55. An alternative to the means 50 ... 55 is disclosed in Fig. 8 (not shown). A winding 44 inductively linked with the windings 30, 35 is connected via a diode 45 across a capacitor 45 across the D.C. supply so that commutating energy is not dissipated. The arrangement shown, which is a polyphase inverter, discloses both these types of means. As well as the components 50 ... 55, there are also disclosed winding-diode-capacitor combinations 44, 45, 46, each associated with an individual commutating winding such as 30, and the set of six capacitors 46, 49, 146, 149, 246, 249 being connected in series across the D.C. supply. A stepped output is obtained by controlling the firing of the thyristors.
