Title: Improvements in and relating to cable anchoring devices
IPC: H02G7/05
Filed: 1932-01-28
Abstract: 396,082. Sleeve couplings and cable clamps. BRITISH ALUMINIUM CO., Ltd. and PAINTON, E. T., Adelaide House, King William Street, London. Jan. 28, 1932, No. 2636. [Classes 36 and 38 (i).] In a straining clamp for an overhead cable of the kind provided with a connection for a jumper cable, the clamp is suspended about a point which is substantially coincident with the point of intersection of the axes of the jumper cable and main cable. Fig. 1 shows such a clamp, for use with steel cored aluminium sheathed cables, which is adapted to grip independently 'the core of the cable and the aluminium sheath and to communicate the tensions in the core and sheath separately to the suspension links of the clamp. The clamp comprises a body portion c formed with tubular sockets 15, 19 which receive respectively the main cable and the jumper, a transverse anchoring pin d for taking the load on the cable and forming a pivot for the suspension links 30 being passed through the body c at a point substantially coincident with the point of intersection of the axes of the sockets 15, 19. The core of the main cable is gripped between the surfaces 3, 4 of co-operating cones 1, 5 disposed within the socket 15, and the tension in the core is transferred to the anchoring pin d by a steel cylinder 31 formed with a socket 32 into which the cone 5 screws and having an aperture through which the anchoring pin d passes. The cone 1 may have a bore 2 to receive the central wire of the core. The wires of the aluminium sheath are gripped between the outer surface 9 of a steel cone 6, having a bore 7 through which the core of the cable passes, and the inner surface 10 of an aluminium cone 8 which is secured to the body portion c by a nut 13. The nut 13 is locked by a screw 16. In a modified construction the cone 6, about which the aluminium wires are spread, is replaced by a split cone 35, Fig. 4, which is bored to the same diameter as the cable and grips the aluminium wires by inward radial pressure. The inner surface of the cone 35 may be serrated. The jumper cable is clamped in the socket 19, Fig. 1, by cones 24, 25, the former of which is forced into the socket by a nut 23 which screws on the end of the socket.

Title: A method of making porous metal articles
IPC: B22F3/11
Filed: 1944-02-14
Abstract: A method of making porous metal articles, comprises briquetting metal powder in a die having an enlarged part remote from the plunger or punch, and around the least dense portion of the briquette, sintering the briquette and then sizing the briquette so that the enlarged, least-dense portion is brought to the same density as the portion from the unenlarged part of the die.  The method is intended more particularly for the manufacture of elongated bodies, the briquetting dies being of frusto-conical form.  If, when making a rod say 5 inches long and 1 inch diameter it is found that on briquetting by a single plunger that the density varied from 0.5-0.6, then a briquetting die for carrying out the method according to the invention would have a diameter of 1 inch at the plunger end and of 1.2 inches at the other end. After sintering, the article would be passed through a die of 1 inch diameter.  If the sizing operation is found to result in a loosening of the bonds, a further sintering may take place.  The method may also be used for making porous metal articles having controlled density differences at certain parts.

Title: High-frequency electromagnetic induction means for heating metallic strips
IPC: H05B6/36
Filed: 1952-02-04
Abstract: 712,066. Heating metallic strips by electromagnetic induction. ALLMANNA SVENSKA ELEKTRISKA AKTIEBOLAGET. Feb. 4,1952 [Feb. 3, 1951], No. 2860/52. Class 39 (3) High frequency means for heating metallic strips comprises at least one furnace through which a strip travels, the polarity of a transverse magnetic field in the furnace alternating in the lateral direction of the strip. In Fig. 2, two laminated iron cores 10 have watercooled windings 11 embedded in slots which lie longitudinally of the cores, i.e. in the direction of travel of the strip 12. The total of the currents flowing in the winding conductors in all of the outer slots of the two cores 10 is equal to twice the total current flowing in the conductor in each other slot of the two cores. The pole pitch is made as small as possible within the limits of the winding space and the iron induction but is larger than the width of the air gap # which may be adjustable and in which the strip is arranged to be substantially symmetrically positioned. The strip is then self-centring both vertically and laterally as a result of the electromagnetic forces. The furnace in the construction of Fig. 4 (not shown), is excited by a two-phase supply the currents of which are either of the same frequency and 90 degrees phrase angle, or of different frequencies. To avoid producing a rotating force on the strip when a single furnace is energised from the former type of two-phase supply, the cores are divided into a plurality of sections such that the rotating effects of the fields cancel each other out (Fig. 5 not shown). In Fig. 6, before passing through two lateral field furnaces, which may be of different heating powers, the strip is passed through a longitudinal-field furnace 14 wound with at least two parallel connected conductors. With the two-phase supply, the ratio of the breadth of the strip to the pole pitch is approximately an even number.

Convention date, Jan. 19. [Classes 51 (i) and 51 (ii)] In a verticallyfiued coke oven in which groups of flues in adjacent heating-walls are connected bv cross-over flues 16 as described in Specification 232,173, [Class 51 (ii)], combustion is controlled at the gas and air inlets to the flues, and the upper ports 18, the horizontal collectors 17, and the cross-over flues 16 are so dimensioned that their crosssectional areas are substantially greater than the combined areas of the inlet ports of the groups of flues to which they are connected. In the oven shown, which can be heated alternatively by rich and lean gas, there are two end groups of pairs of flues, and eight intermediate groups of four flues each. All the flues are of the same width measured along the length of the wall, but increase in size at right angles to the length in accordance with the taper of the oven. The inlet ports of the end group at the coke side of the battery are larger in size than those of the end group at the pusher side, and these in turn are larger than the ports of the intermediate groups, which decrease in size from the coke to the pusher side of the battery. Regulation of the supplies of gas and air is effected by pairs of damper blocks 33, supported on seats 381 at the tops of the ports 27, 28, and of the form shown in Fig. 8. Alternate partitions 19 in the heating- walls are longer than the intermediate ones, and are flared at their upper ends to equalize the flow courses for the different flues of a group. The ports 18 for the flues of the intermediate groups are all of the same size, while those of the end groups are made somewhat larger, to accommodate a greater flow of combustion products. The cross-sectional areas of the collectors 17 and the cross-over flues 16 are varied along the heating-wall to correspond with the variations in size of the gas and air inlet ports. Dimensions of the various ports and passages are given in the Specification. Rich gas, when used, is supplied through the conduit 40 and nozzles 41, and the invention is also described in connection with an underfired oven. Specification 171,117, [Class 51 (ii)], is referred to.

The receiving telephone may be shunted by a variable resistance, or the microphone and telephone circuits may be connected through variable inductance or capacity. The resistance or the like is varied until the received sound is a minimum and the distance is then obtained by tables or charts; or the resistance may be directly graded for distance, otherwise the strength of the current may be measured by a galvanometer. To obviate difficulty caused by differences of hearing of different observers, the intensity of the received signals may be compared with that of submarine sounds of known strength produced locally.
