Title: Attachment for diver's harpoon - has sharp point and explosive head which may be attached
IPC: A01K81/00
Filed: 1973-07-27
Abstract: A diver may repulse a fish by a thrust with a sharp point, and by adaptation of the point with an explosive cartridge, may destroy the attacker, e.g. a shark. A floating rod (1) has a hollow end (9) with sharp teeth (10 & 11). At the bottom of the hollow end is a striker (12). At the other end is a detachable cartridge (17) with a percussion cap, which can be detached and placed in the hollow end piece. The cartridge protrudes so that when the fish is struck the cartridge slides in the hollow end and the striker hits the percussion cap, firing the cartridge.
Patent FR-2212221-A1 (FR)
Title: Plastic covered metal faucets - for automatic reproduction of both shape and surface
IPC: B29C45/00
Filed: 1973-12-28
Abstract: Parts of faucets or taps comprising a metal core clad in an injection moulded sheath of plastic material (e.g. polystyrene, polyamide, ABS or polypropylene) in a mould which determines the final profile of the part. The metal core should be preheated to a temp. which causes the contraction on cooling to match the shrinkage of the moulded sheath. The clad moulding may be subjected to a subsequent treatment to accept chrome plating, varnishing or metallisation. Provides reproduction of shape coupled with smooth surface finish more readily than all-metal casting and polishing processes.

Title: Stake for vine training or fence wires - has flanges with slots receiving clipped in wires
IPC: E04H17/12
Filed: 1974-07-15
Abstract: The stakes are produced in various sections, e.g. omega double T or Z. The typical omega section consists of an open sided tube (1) with two flanges (2) one on each side of the opening. At equidistantly spaced intervals on the flanges (2) are recesses (3) to accommodate the fencing or training wire. The opening (d) leading to each recess allows the wires (4, 5) to be introduced to the J shaped cut-out which is the extension of the inlet. The lower part of this cut out is slightly inboard of the lines (g, g') at which the curved part of the stake begins. The wire is easily introduced into the recess and by a slight horizontal twist with the hand it is placed in the end of the recess from which it cannot escape unless again twisted by hand.

Title: Variable geometry high speed aircraft - with tailplate which moves into recess of main wing for fast flight
IPC: B64C3/00
Filed: 1975-03-25
Abstract: The high speed aircraft has a delta shaped main wind system for the optimum aerodynamic performance. The rear, inboard sections of the main wind are provided with cut-outs for the two sides of the tailplane horizontal wings. These are mounted on the sides of the fuselage on parallel struts. For fast flight the horizontal tailplane wings are moved forward to tuck into the cut-outs and form a smooth delta shape. For slower take off and landing the wings are moved rearwards, by pivoting the parallel struts, to take up a position under the vartical tail fin. This provides increased stability to the aircraft at lower speeds without having to introduce complex trimming controls.

Patent FR-2283963-A1 (FR)
IPC: B01D53/68
Filed: 1975-09-03
Abstract: The furnace (2) is enclosed by a lower part (6) and an upper part (7), both parts (6, 7) either being linked by a swivelling appliance (8) or being displaceable with respect to one another. Thus it is possible, after swinging open or displacing the parts, to carry out work on the furnace (2). When the furnace (2) is enclosed by the parts (6, 7), the hot gases are discharged upwards, above the normal operating level, by a natural chimney effect. At the same time this results in a cooling effect, owing to which the thermal equilibrium of the anode and cathode remains undisturbed in spite of the enclosure.

Title: Dispersal system for projectile - has hermetically sealed container with compressed gas generator and fragmenter initiator
Inventor: CREPIN ROGER
IPC: F42B12/70
Filed: 1975-11-12
Abstract: The dispersal system is for a projectile whereby the exploding sections are able to be controlled. It comprises a destructible, hermetically sealed container which contains the explosive charge combined with a compressed gas. The container is formed by an envelope which is constructed so as to fragment immediately a built in initiator is activated. The container comprises a generator for the pressurised gas and a device for transferring the gas from the container to the envelope before fragmentation occurs. The gas is thus combined with the explosive charge before the body explodes.
Patent FR-2337934-A1 (FR)
Title: Self-restoring type current limiting device - has conductive material between electrodes to evaporate when excessive current flows
IPC: H01H87/00
Filed: 1976-01-12
Abstract: One electrode is rigidly fitted into a hollow metallic cylinder and the other electrode is coaxially fixed within the cylinder through a cylindrical insulation. An insulating disc is opposite to the cylindrical insulation to form then an annular arrow gap between them. The gap is filled with a self-restoring type current limiting material to normally form a current passageway between both electrodes. The current limiting material is caused to be first evaporated in a narrower portion of the gap in response to a flow of overcurrent through it. After the current has been limited, the evaporated material is rapidly self-restored to its original good electrically conductive state.

Title: Measurement of effectiveness of sheath in electrical cables - includes generation of electromagnetic field and sensing induced field in wire with and without sheath connected to reference potential
IPC: G01R31/02
Filed: 1976-05-13
Abstract: A technique is described for measuring the effectiveness of a screen or sheath (11) in relation to one or more electrical wires (1-4) in a cable. An electromagnetic-field is emitted near the sheathed wire and the induced field is sensed in the wire itself and measured. The sheath is at a reference potential for one phase and floating for another. A comparison of the two results gives a measure of the effectiveness of the sheath. The electromagnetic field may be obtained by radiating a metallic structure near the sheathed wire, or alternatively, a second wire, wound around the first, may be used to create the field.

Title: Blocked diisocyanates as crosslinking agents - from diisocyanatomethyl-norbornane and acetic acid alkyl esters
Inventor: DALIBOR HORST DR
IPC: C07C241/00
Filed: 1977-03-22
Abstract: (Partly) blocked diisocyanates are of the general formula (I) (where x = 1 or 2; R' is -NH-CO-CH(COOR)-CO-CH3 or -NCO; R is Me, Et, propyl, iso-propyl, n-, tert-, iso-, or sec.-butyl, or pentyl). The blocked diisocyanates prepd. are liq. at 10-80 degrees C and react with OH gp.-contg. (co)polymers to give lacquers with good film transparency, a high gloss, good hardness, high elasticity and good resistance to organic solvents. They are used for e.g. wire lacquers and in the textile industry. In an example, 64.8 acetic acid-n-butyl ester and 0.06g Zn acetyl acetonate are heated to 95 degrees C. 39.6g diisocyanatomethyl norborane is dropped in over 2 hrs. After 13 hrs. a blocked diisocyanate liq. at 10-80 degrees C is formed which reacts under heat with OHgp-contg. polymers to produce e.g. wire lacquers with good properties.
