Title: Method of knitting mesh fabric and sinker used therefor
Inventor: KAWASE SHINJI
IPC: D04B15/06
Filed: 1985-03-18
Abstract: A circular knitting machine has specially designed sinkers for selectively forming small, medium and large stitch loops. Each sinker (8) includes a throat progressively increasing in height from the inner end of the sinker to the neb and defining low, middle and high knitting positions. In one type of sinker described, the throat is triple-stepped to include low, middle and high knitting faces (29,28,27). In another type of sinker described, the throat includes a tapered knitting face inclined upwardly from the inner end to the nob and defining at least low, middle and high knitting positions. Pattern wheels (14) are arranged to engage and selectively position the sinkers (8) in outermost, intermediate and innermost radial positions to form respective small, medium and large stitch loops. <IMAGE>

Title: Conveyor apparatus
Inventor: DOE ROBERT HERBERT
IPC: B65G65/40
Filed: 1985-11-28
Abstract: Conveyor apparatus for use, e.g. in a silo, comprises a solid or rigid base (8) with solid or rigid upright walls (11) arranged side by side with suitable spacings between them. Across the tops of these solid or rigid walls is fixed a flexible membrane (12) which flexes up or down in relation to the tops of the walls depending upon the pressure within the air chamber defined between the upright walls and beneath the flexible membrane. When the membrane is drawn down between the solid or rigid walls, any material above the membrane is caused to fall into the depression and when it is pushed upwards any material thereon is caused to fall from this new position. In flexing the membrane in a sequential manner from chamber to chamber at a suitable cadence a conveying action is achieved. <IMAGE>

Title: Circuit protection arrangement
Inventor: PALMER GEOFREY IAN
IPC: H02H9/04
Filed: 1986-12-02
Abstract: An arrangement for protecting mains operated electrical and electronic apparatus from transients and surges occurring on the mains supply is constructed as a module intended to protect equipment operating on a conventional 13 amp mains supply and is installed into an enlarged 13 amp plug with pins P1, P2 and P3 for fitting in a standard 13 amp socket. The arrangement comprises a fuse F in series with the live conductor, three varistors Z1, Z2 and Z3 respectively connected between live and earth, live and neutral and earth and neutral conductors, and a neon indicator lamp L and ballast resistor R connected between live and neutral conductors. A thermally operated normally open switch S is also connected between the live and neutral conductors and is arranged to be responsive to heat generated by varistor Z3 to close its contacts thereby shorting between live and neutral conductors and causing the fuse F to blow. The circuit is thus made as responsive to a heavy surge or transient between neutral and earth as it is otherwise to a heavy surge or transient between live and neutral or live and earth. <IMAGE>

Title: A floating or semi-submerged plant connected to a riser system
Inventor: HAGGSTROM BO
IPC: B63B27/34
Filed: 1987-06-30
Abstract: A floating or semi-submerged plant connected to a riser system, especially in connection with pontoons (21) on a floating production unit, where, in contrast to the conventional arrangement using a hyperbaric compartment in which the riser connection is accomplished, according to the present invention the risers (1) are connected to a substantially atmospheric compartment (22) in the pontoon (21), a fact which entails a far simpler structure and simplified operation and maintenance, because it is no longer necessary for the operating staff to be divers, or for the production plants to be provided with a diving system and life-boats with pressure chambers. The pontoon (21) may be divided into a plurality of watertight compartments (22) provided with a watertight entrance door (18) communicating with an entrance corridor (16). <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2192864-A (GB)
Title: Display tray
Inventor: LIND MICHAEL J
IPC: A61J7/00
Filed: 1987-07-16
Abstract: A medication holder and display tray (10) holds colour coded bottles (22) of medications in a plurality of separate compartments (16b) which each have an inclined plane (18) to which is attached a colour coded label (20). The inclined plane (18) of each compartment positions the bottles (20) of medication resting thereon such that each can be easily and quickly recognized and removed. Colour coding on each bottle corresponds to the colour coding on a top portion of the inclined plane (18) of a compartment (16b). This speeds up identification of a medication and helps prevents mistakes. Colour coding is not meant as a substitute for reading a label on a container of medication. <IMAGE>

A lock (20) is provided in order to maintain the parts of the brace in the condition in which the catch is effective. The assembly is suitably used to restrict entry to a parking place. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2195732-A (GB)
Title: Wire tensioner
Inventor: BALL STEPHEN
IPC: B25B25/00
Filed: 1987-10-07
Abstract: A wire tensioner for fencing includes a lateral arm 10, for abutment against a post 74, and a ratchet bar 16 engageable with a non-return pawl 32 such that the bar is moveable only in the direction of arrow 38. A wire 72 to be tensioned and secured to a fence post 74 is secured to the tensioner by main, secondary and tertiary wire clamps 52, 64, 68. Handle 42 is swung so as to cause the pawl 48 to displace the ratchet bar 16 and main clamp 52 away from the fence post 74 so that part of the wire 72 which extrudes past the post 74 is under tension. This is in contrast to known proposals wherein the main clamp is pulled towards the post during tensioning leaving a slack length of wire between the clamp and the post. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2226517-A (GB)
Title: Manufacturing devices with accurately spaced components
Inventor: JEX GRAHAM RICHARD
IPC: C04B37/02
Filed: 1988-12-28
Abstract: In a method for manufacturing a device having a spacing between two parts thereof, the two parts 8 and 9 are surrounded by a tubular member 10. Where the device is a spark gap, for example, the parts 8 and 9 are of metal and form the electrodes in the finished device and the tubular member 10 is a ceramic having metallised end faces 11 and 12. Rings 13 and 14 of braze material are located adjacent to the parts and the metallised surfaces 11 and 12. The assembly is then heated to melt the braze which forms the seal between the parts 8 and 9 and the member 10. On cooling, the parts 8 and 9 contract to leave a gap between them. The spacings between the parts 8 and 9 can be produced to high tolerances using this method without a need for the components of the device to be accurately dimensioned. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2243841-A (GB)
Title: Method for manufacturing components or component coatings using weightless conditions
Inventor: ROSSMANN AXEL
IPC: C04B41/45
Filed: 1991-04-05
Abstract: A method for manufacturing components or components coatings employs conditions of, or approaching weightlessness or zero-gravity, in which the particles are suspended within a limited volume in the form of a particle cloud, in that the particle cloud is heated and the heated particles from the particle cloud are aggregated or deposited on a matrix to form a component or a component coating. The matrix may subsequently be removed. The particles may first be coated by CVD or PVD technique also in the suspended zero-gravity particle cloud before being aggregated or deposited. The particles may comprise hollow spheres or encased solid spheres which may be united sintered and compacted to form a porous lightweight structure. In particular the particles are hollow metallic spheres of titanium-, nickel- or cobalt-base alloy; solid or hollow ceramic spheres of zirconium oxide or aluminium oxide or encased solid spheres having a graphite or ceramic core and a metal case of a titanium-, nickel- or cobalt-base alloy. The graphite core may be removed by oxidation. The particles may also be tubes, rods or encased rods which are then deposited in a parallel array (Fig. 3) to form a columnar structure. The particles are deposited uniformly on the matrix by electrostatic charging and the particle cloud is heated inductively or by thermal radiation (see Fig. 6). The coating finds application in turbine blades. <IMAGE>
