[Class 137.] In ventilating apparatus in which an adjustable nozzle device is employed for delivering an air stream in any desired direction in a room or the like, a universally mounted air directing-nozzle is adapted to control the supply of air by a push-andpull operation. A spider frame a, Fig. 3, comprising three arms b supports an annulus c which forms a spherical bearing for a hollow member e. A disc m having series of annular apertures n and centrally formed with a spherical socket r is fitted within the ball member which also carries a short diametral tubular guide j. Slidably mounted within the guide is a nozzle k, a flange p on the inner end of which contacts, in the limiting positions, with the disc m and the guide j. When in contact with the disc, which forms a valve seating, the air supply is cut off. A ball s carried on a pin t projecting through a stem of the spider frame d is pressed by a spring v into the socket r forming in all positions a central support for the disc and keeping the ball member e pressed against its seating c. In a modification the ball member is of spun sheet metal and the valve seating member is attached as by welding, to the circular edge opposite the guide tube. In a further modification, Fig. 7, the ball member is formed of two hemispherical portions 5, 6. The inner portion 5 opposite the outlet is provided with a packing ring 13 of felt held in position by a fixing member 15 to form a seating for the inner end of the nozzle. The seating 9 of the hollow ball member is adapted to be secured to an air duct 10, the air entering the ball through apertures 20.

Abstract: 273,796. Drey, O., Byrd, H. L., and Drey, Simpson & Co., Ltd. April 6, 1926. Beat-up motions.-The lay and also the weftinserting mechanism are driven from a crank pin 11, which is connected to an intermediate point on a short link 10, one end 9 of which is connected by a link 7 to the lay whilst the other end. is connected to a bell crank lever 12 pivoted at 13 and connected by a link 15 to an arm 16 on a shaft 17 carrying a picking-lever 19 connected to the weft-inserting needle. By means of this linkwork, the lay is moved backwards from its forward or beat-up position without operating the picking-lever, then during the backward movement of the lay, and during a dwell in this movement, the weft-inserting needle is advanced into the shed, such needle being, however, withdrawn before the lay reaches its forward or beat-up position. The shaft 17 is mounted in the lower end of the lay sword or on the pivot 18 thereof. In a modification, the shaft 17 is arranged vertically at the rear of the lay, the link 10 is connected by a. link to the arm 16. the parts 12, 15 are omitted, and the picking-lever is arranged in an horizontal plane. The device may be used in looms having two needle-like inserting devices, which are simultaneously advanced into and meet at the centre of the shed where a loop of weft carried by one device is transferred to the other. after which the devices recede.

Abstract: 936,205. Nuclear reactors. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. March 17, 1960 [March 17, 1959], No. 9259/59. Class 39 (4). A device for clearing obstacles from the gas sampling pipes of a gas-cooled nuclear reactor includes a head portion adapted to be inserted temporarily into the reactor to a position in which a duct in the head portion is in communication with the appropriate gas sampling pipe, the duct being arranged for connection to a source of pressure whereby to remove obstacles in the gas sampling pipes by applying differential pressure to the obstacles. In Fig. 1 the head portion 10 has a slight taper to co-operate with a correspondingly tapered charge pan 11 so that an annular duct 12 in the head portion is aligned with a gas sampling pipe 13 which leads from the charge pan tube. Centrally disposed within the head portion is a cylinder containing a piston 15 which is normally maintained in a central position by springs on each side; displacement of the piston in either direction actuates one of two lever arrangements which moves from locking arms 21 (only two of which are shown in Fig. 1) outwards so that they lock the device in position. In operation a source of motion or pressure is applied to tube 31, and this causes displacement of the piston 15 and locking of the device; one of the ball valves 34, 35 is then opened to apply suction or pressure to the pipe 13 and clear any obstruction in it. The device may be lowered into the reactor by a grab head, or it may be attached to or form part of a charge shoot.
