Title: Manufacture of metallic tubing
IPC: B21C37/08
Filed: 1950-09-28
Abstract: 676,067. Making tubing. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. Sept. 28, 1950 [Oct. 13, 1949], No. 23730/50. Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv). Welding; angular bending; forging.- Metal tubing of small diameter and relatively thick wall is made by feeding a strip through skelping rolls to form a tube with open longitudinal joint, welding the seam by roller electrodes, swaging by a rotary hammer to reduce the tube diameter and then annealing. The strip S is fed through rolls 10 and connected to an open seamed tube which is electrically welded by roller electrodes 21 on a roller 20. A support roll 22 is raised by flexible bellows 26 fed with pressure air by a pipe 27. Inert or reducing gas is fed to the joint by a pipe 11. The tubing then passes through sizing-rolls 29 to a rotary hammer D. The hammer comprises conically apertured hammers 93 housed in a slot in a shaft 63 rotated by an electromotor 76 and actuated by blocks 98 carrying rods 99 which engage rolls 84 in a hollow shaft 82 rotated in the opposite direction to the shaft 63. A mandrel 150 is supported by a wire 151 axially adjusted by a lever 169. The tubing receives eight blows per inch of travel of the tube and the taper of the dies allows a reduction of 1 to 4 thousandths inch for each blow. The peripheral speed of the inner surface of the shaft 82 is equal to the speed of the rods 99 where they strike the rolls 84. The tube finally passes through an electrically heated annealer and through a cooler.

Title: Extrusion apparatus
IPC: B29C48/06
Filed: 1960-07-07
Abstract: 933,324. Extrusion machines. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. July 7, 1960 [July 20, 1959], No. 23738/60. Class 87(2). An extrusion machine comprises a mandrel, a die holder removably securable within the machine and housing a die adjustably positioned with respect to the mandrel, and means connected to the die holder and adapted to bear against the die for preventing leakage of the extrusion material between the die and the die holder and for securing the die against inward movement whereby the die and the die holder can be removed from and reinserted into the apparatus without disturbing the die adjustment. A solid mandrel may be used for the extrusion of plastic tubing, or a hollow mandrel, through which articles to be coated are passed, for applying plastic sheaths to cable cores. In the example shown, a die holder head 18, disposed about the die 15, is secured to an inner die retaining boss 19 of the die holder base 11 by screws 20 and has a flanged portion 21 engaging a flanged end portion 16 of the die 15. Intermediate the boss 19 and head 18 is a cup-shaped metal diaphragm 22 which engages the die flange 16. Pressure of the extrusion material 17 forces the diaphragm 22 against the die 15 and secures it against axial movement. A threaded clamp ring 25 is screwed into the extruder head 10 to hold the die holder base 11 in a fixed position. Clamp screws 26 inserted through the ring 25 engage an outer die retaining boss 27 and force the die holder base 11 against the extruder head 10 so as to provide a seal 28 to prevent any extrusion material from entering into the head and to ensure an accurate setting of the die holder in the extruder cavity 12. The orientation of the die holder head 18 with respect to the die holder base 11, and of the latter with respect to the extruder head 10, are maintained by locating pins (not shown). Two pairs of opposed adjusting screws 30 extend transversely through the die holder head 18 to contact the die 15 for the lateral adjustment thereof. During the turning of these screws, the die flange slides between the die holder head flange 21 and the diaphragm 22 creating a seal 24 which prevents any leakage of extrusion material 17 into the cavity 32 between the die 15 and die holder head 18.

Patent GB-462026-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the manufacture and production of tanning agents containing iron
IPC: C14C3/04
Filed: 1935-08-26
Abstract: Hides are tanned with agents prepared by combining iron compounds with soluble albuminous substances, which, when made by oxidizing degradation of a protein, are prepared in the absence of iron. Albuminous substances may be mixed with iron salts and treated with non-oxidizing proteolytic agents, but it is preferred to treat the albuminous substances first with proteolytic agents and then add the iron salts; acid, alkaline or enzymatic agents or neutral salts may be used, e.g. calcium chloride, lithium thiocyanate, sulphonic acids, especially those having a tanning action.  The albuminous substances may also be rendered soluble by treatment with ethylene oxide, and by the action of oxidizing agents, e.g. nitric and nitrous acids or hydrogen peroxide.  The products obtained by addition of iron to the albuminous substances may be evaporated to dryness, being first neutralized if acid.  Acid substances are added to the products when required for use, e.g. oxalic acid and alkali bisulphates.  Hides may be treated first with iron compounds alone, the albuminous substances being added to complete the process.  Tanning with other agents may be combined with the process.  Examples describe the preparation of tanning substances obtained by combination of iron salts with the following albuminous degradation products: skin scraps boiled with 30 per cent sulphuric acid; soybean cuttings boiled with 25 per cent sulphuric acid; cane sugar, molasses, &c. containing albumen degradation products; protalbic acids; skin scraps treated with aqueous nitric acid; chrome leather scrapings treated with aqueous nitric acid; chrome leather scrapings treated with aqueous sulphuric acid, or with aqueous sulphuric acid and ferric sulphate.

Title: Improvements in sparking plugs
IPC: H01T13/41
Filed: 1951-10-16
Abstract: 709,296. Sparking plugs; ignition systems. COMPAGNIE GENERALE DE TELEGRAPHIE SANS FIL. Oct. 16. 1951 [Oct. 26, 1950], No. 24134/51. Class 7(4) In a sparking plug including a metallic casing 1. Fig. 3, a central conductor 2 disposed coaxially therein, and a member 3, which is a good heat conductor and offers a high impedence to the voltage impulses supplied for energizing the plug, the member 3 is constituted by a metallic piece fixed to both the inner extremity 4 of the conductor 2 and to a point 5 on the casing 1 and forming an electrical inductance between both fixation points. The sparking plug 1, Fig. 2, is energized from a generator 10 through a condenser C and across a distributer D whilst the inductance 3 is connected in parallel with, and incorporated in the plug; the inductance blocks the generator wave front and is constructed so as to avoid the central electrode becoming unduly hot and causing pre-ignition of the charge. The turns of the inductance 3, Fig. 3, are insulated from each other whilst conductor 2 has a portion 11 at its upper end which is separated by a insulating coating from the hollow upper part 12 of the casing 1. In a modification, the inductance is formed upon a magnetic core made of fire proof and magnetic material such as ferrites and iron powders so enabling the length of the plug to be decreased. In a further modification, the inductance is formed by two metallic cylinders 3, 14, Fig. 5, joined by an annular bridge 13 which three members form the inductance; the inductive effect of the latter is increased by a coat of fire proof and magnetic material 6 between the cylinders. In all the above embodiments the air-tightness of the plug is effected by metallic instead of insulating material.

Abstract: 1333519 Lasers CANADA MINISTER OF DEFENCE 23 May 1972 [13 Sept 1971] 24222/72 Heading H1C A gas laser, such as an atmospheric pressure CO 2  device, is pumped by a discharge transverse its optical axis. The electrodes used are shown in perspective in Fig. 2, and comprise a shaped anode 10 on one side of the optical axis and a rod cathode 11 and an apertured plate 12 on the other side of the axis. The apertured plate is coupled to the anode by stray capacitance at least, though this coupling may also be by a resistor or a capacitor. In operation there is initially a discharge between the end of the rod cathode 11 and the plate 12, followed by a uniform plasma discharge from the plate 12 to anode 10. As seen in Fig. 1 the aperture is chamfered at about 45 degrees. The electrodes may be made of brass or stainless steel, but a better lifetime and discharge is obtained using an aluminium anode and plate 12, which may be sand-blasted, and a nickel plated cathode rod. The anode may be elongated and used with a multi-aperture plate and a corresponding number of cathodes, Fig. 4 (not shown). Circuits for suitable pulse voltages are given, Figs. 5, 6 (not shown), as are operating values such as gas pressure and electrode dimensions. Instead of a multi-aperture plate and elongated anode, several of the electrode structures shown in Fig. 2 may be interconnected by 22 s.w.g. wire.
