Title: Method and apparatus for producing Plates Composed of Wood Strips
Inventor: HILDEBRAND ROBERT
IPC: B27M3/00
Filed: 1967-11-30
Abstract: 1,164,042. Woodworking. R. HILDEBRAND. 30 Nov., 1967 [1 Dec., 1966], No. 54553/67. Heading B5L. A method of producing plates of wood or other fibrous material comprises cutting at least one board 3 simultaneously into a plurality of parallel strips having laterally wider sides and upper and lower narrower sides, moving the strips so as to increase the lateral distance between them and tilting them to one side so as to lie with one wider side on a support 11 adjacent and substantially parallel to each other, passing the strips in this position through a drier 9, applying glue at least to the narrow sides of the strips facing each other and applying the narrow sides of all adjacent strips against each other to combine the strips to form a plate, and compressing the plate by exerting a lateral pressure in opposite directions upon the narrow outer sides of the outermost strips. A plate so formed may be used as the centre layer of plywood boards. In apparatus for carrying out the method, one or more boards 3 are moved by a carriage to a strip saw 1 which cuts the boards into the plurality of strips. The strips are laterally separated and tilted over on to their wider sides by a mechanism 7 which may have a guiding comb and a transversely movable belt or consist of curved guide means. The spaced strips are carried by a conveyer 11 through a drier 9 and through a mechanism 13 for grinding one or both of the horizontal surfaces of the strips. The strips then pass to a conveying and spreading mechanism 15 where glue application rollers 17 apply glue to the narrow sides of the strips. While in the mechanism 15, defective strips may be removed and replaced. The glued strips are moved towards each other by rollers 19 and pressed together in a press 21. A travelling saw 23 cuts the assembled strips into plates 25 which may be glued together to form plates 27 of desired length.

Title: Booster Rod or Safety Rod Installation
Inventor: CHARLES ROBERT
IPC: G21C7/20
Filed: 1967-12-11
Abstract: 1,175,388. Controlling reactors. EUROPEAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITY. 11 Dec., 1967 [16 Dec., 1966], No. 56152/67. Heading G6C. Apparatus for introducing and removing a booster rod or a safety rod into and from a nuclear reactor comprises screw means for introducing and removing the rod slowly, means for disconnecting the screw means and the rod to permit movement of the rod independently of the screw means, and an energy accumulator in which energy derived from movement of the rod in one direction by the screw means is stored and on disconnection of the screw means drives the rod rapidly in the other direction. More specifically, the apparatus comprises a first mechanism for introducing and removing the rod 18 slowly including a hollow drive screw 1 which encircles the rod 18 (a booster rod in the embodiment described) and is normally secured to it by a disconnectible coupling (Fig. 4, not shown). In the event of an alarm signal disconnecting the coupling, the rod 18 can slide axially on longitudinal anti-friction bearings, such as bearings 22, within the screw 1. The screw 1 is so mounted, by way of longitudinal anti-friction bearings and rollers (not shown) in a sleeve which extends through a biological shield and a heat shield as to be rotatable therewith and be movable axially relative thereto. The axial movement is produced by a helical anti-friction bearing 6 rotated by a reducing drive system 16 via a coupling 15. The apparatus also comprises a second mechanism for fast emergency removal of the booster rod 18 comprising two axially movable cylinders 31 which are secured to the rod 18 by arms 28 and which each encircle a stationary hollow piston 39 connected to an oleopneumatic accumulator 40 which stores energy during the introduction of the rod 18 produced by the first mechanism. The accumulators 40 provide rapid removal of the rod in an emergency. The apparatus may also be used with a safety rod, in which event the direction of the accumulators is reversed to provide rapid introduction of the rod in an emergency. A damping mechanism is provided in the form of two elastomeric hydrostatic compression dampers (not shown) to absorb the remaining energy of the moving system at the end of its fast travel. The rod 18, which has an inactive extension, may be provided with a hairpin cooling circuit in the active part.
