Title: Method of making tubing
IPC: B21C37/087
Filed: 1956-02-20
Abstract: 810,731. Making tubing. BUNDY TUBING CO. Feb. 20, 1956 [July 14, 1955], No. 5114/56. Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4). Brazing; angular bending.-In making tubing, strip metal is moved lengthwise and fashioned into tubing of non-circular cross-section with the edges of the strip in proximity with each other at the bottom of the tubing, the tubing is traversed with the edges at the bottom and during traversing the tubing is heated to enable a bonding material introduced therein to flow between interfaces of the tubing to unite the interfaces upon cooling. Steel or Monel " (Registered Trade Mark) strip 1, Fig. 1 drawn from a coil 2 is rolled into a double-ply tube of elongated cross-section about a hollow mandrel 6, Fig. 3, held by a bracket 8 in a tube mill 4. The strip edges are bevelled and located at the underside of the tube. A strip or wire 10 of copper, hard or soft solder, &c., is passed into the tube through the hollow mandrel from a roll 11. The tube is heated and guided by electrical resistance rollers 22-27 in a housing 20 containing non- oxidizing or reducing gas to melt the bonding metal which flows through 360 degrees between the plies. The tube is then cooled in a water cooler 35, gas from the housing 20 burning at the inlet to the housing 20 and issuing from the outlet from the cooler. The tube is finally formed to circular section in a roll unit 44. In a modification a plurality of tube lenghts, cut from tubing formed in the tube mill, are simultaneously passed through elongated section guide pipes 56, Fig. 7, into a furnace 50 containing non-oxidizing or reducing gas and are then cooled in cooler tubes 53.

Abstract: 1,190,352. Water electrolyzers. G. HAAS. Jan. 30, 1969 [Jan. 30, 1968], No.5146/69. Heading C7B. Water-ozonizing apparatus for domestic use comprises an electrolytic cell 16 divided into anode and cathode chambers 3 and 4 by a partition 8, for electrolyzing water, in which oxygen produced under pressure in the anode chamber 3 flows, preferably via a moisture separator 7, into an ozonizer 12 adapted to deliver ozone to the water to be ozonized, e.g. flowing through pipe 15, in measured quantities. A valve 5 responding to a given pressure may be disposed in hydrogen outlet pipe 6. The part of chamber 3 above the liquid level 9 may be separated from the rest of the chamber by a wall with a passage to form the ozonizer. The passage (22), Fig. 12 in the partition 8 may be covered on either side by glass filament fabric (23-26) to prevent the transfer of hydrogen or oxygen bubbles.

Title: Shock absorber construction
IPC: F16F9/18
Filed: 1949-03-01
Abstract: 676,521. Hydraulic shock absorbers. McINTYRE, B. D., McINTYRE, W. D., and McINTYRE, C. S., (trading as PATENT DEVELOPMENT CO.). March 1, 1949 [Nov. 8, 1948], No. 5605/49. Class 108(iii) The invention relates to direct acting shock-absorbers having a pressure cylinder 21, a reserve chamber 19, compression valve means to control flow from the pressure cylinder 21 to the reserve chamber 19 and valve means to control flow of fluid from one side to the other of the piston 51. According to the invention, either or both valve means comprises an integral body part having fluid flow passage means therethrough and an associated movable valve means, the arrangement being such that at low velocities the fluid is controlled by the opening of the movable valve means, while at high velocities the control is provided by resistance to fluid flow through the passage means. The piston has a circumferential series of ports 59, flow through which on compression is controlled by a disc valve 67 loaded by a star-shaped spring 71. The disc valve 67 has limited travel on the boss of a flanged supportwasher 57 which is clamped between the bottom of a recess in the piston face and a shoulder on the piston rod. A diametrically-opposed pair of ports 61, disposed at lesser radius than the ports 59, have a predetermined bore so as to offer substantial resistance to flow at high piston speeds, but small resistance at low piston speeds. A laminated disc valve 79 provides resistance at low speeds and is held against the piston body by a nut 73. The compression valve comprises a further laminated disc valve 97, which provides resistance to flow at low velocity, from the cylinder 21 to the reserve chamber 19, through a single port 91. The diameter of the port 91 is such as to provide high resistance at greater velocity of flow. Flow from the reserve chamber to the cylinder is controlled by a valve 101 similar to the valve 67. The latter, its spring 103, and the valve 97 are retained by a rivet-like member 96 in relation to a compression valve body 45. Comparative, data is given in respect of the oerformance of a conventional shock-absorber and one according to the invention.

Title: Improvements relating to fuel injection pumps
Inventor: MORRIS JOHN NEVILLE
IPC: F02D1/12
Filed: 1955-02-25
Abstract: 794,667. Fluid-pressure servomotor-control systems. S.U. CARBURETTER CO., Ltd. Feb. 2, 1956 [Feb. 25, 1955], No. 5648/55. Class 135. In a fuel-injection pump for a spark-ignition I. C. engine having a plurality of spring-loaded pump plungers 5 slidable in parallel bores spaced equidistantly around a common hollow drive-shaft 3 mounting a wobble-plate 4, the amplitude of the wobble-plate is automatically varied to vary the pump output by a servo piston 1 under the control of a leak-off valve 13 positioned in equilibrium by means responsive to the pressure and temperature of the air in the induction manifold in opposition to a spring whose loading is dependent upon the axial position of the servo-piston and by auxiliary control means which exerts an additional load upon the valve which increases with increasing engine speed to progressively reduce the output of the pump. The servo-piston 33 which is keyed to but slidable on the driveshaft 3 is subjected on its upper face to, e.g. the oil pressure in the engine lubricating system admitted through a relatively unrestricted duct 6 and on its lower face to the loading of a spring 14 and the pressure of the lubricating oil after passing through ports 7, the hollow drive-shaft 3 and ports 9 controlled by the valve 13. The oil passes into a chamber 10 having a compartment 10A housing an impeller 29 driven by the shaft 3 and a compartment 10B separated from the compartment 10A by a baffle 30 and connected thereto by a duct 32 whose inlet 34 may be obturated by a tapered skirt 33 on the piston. The chamber 10 has a restricted leakage to sump which may be either an orifice 11 in the casing or radial and axial bores 26, 27, 28 in the hollow shaft. A chamber 21 separate from the chamber 10 communicates through an opening 22 with the induction manifold and houses a capsule 20 filled with gas at a predetermined pressure so that it is susceptible to both pressure and temperature changes in the manifold, movements of the capsule being transmitted to the valve 13 through pins 19, 18 and a pivoted lever 16. At high engine speeds when normally the mixture of fuel and oil is enriched due to the relatively less delivery of air to the engine cylinders consequent upon the obstructive effect of the inlet ports and valves, the impeller 29 creates a centrifugal pressure head which increases with increasing speed to cause a circulation of oil from the compartment 10A through the duct 32 to the compartment 10B. This produces a pressure differential acting on the valve 13 to move it upwardly so that the pressure beneath the servo-piston is reduced to move the latter downwardly to decrease the eccentricity of the wobble-plate so that the amount of fuel delivered by the pump is reduced and the mixture weakened. The tapered piston skirt 33 can be arranged such that for a given pump speed the weakening effect can bear any relation, e.g. a linear relationship, to the pump output per revolution. Specifications 552,547, [Group XXVIII], and 784,425 are referred to.
