Abstract: 606,526. Gas turbine plant; compressors. BRITISH AEROPLANE CO., Ltd., OWNER, F. M., and HENSTRIDGE, A. G. Oct. 9, 1945, No. 26373. [Classes 110 (i) and 110 (iii)] A gas turbine plant of the kind in which a compressor, turbine and combustion equipment form a unitary structure and certain of said parts are supported from each end of an axial flow compressor is supported by a structure surrounding the axial flow compressor which is attached to the compressor by means allowing relative radial and axial movement of the compressor and the turbine is supported by a cantilever structure secured to said structure surrounding the compressor. A gas turbine power plant is supported from a mounting ring 26, which may be attached to an aircraft, by a structure 19 which comprises a truncated conical member 21 to which a pair of end pieces 22, 23 are secured, e.g. by welding. The depth of the structure is made considerable to increase its rigidity and is reinforced by longitudinal channel shaped members 27. The flange 24 of the end piece 22 is secured to the casing of the centrifugal compressor 10 on the front end of which the auxiliaries and auxiliary gear-box are mounted. The conical member 21 surrounds and supports the axial flow compressor 9. The support at the discharge end comprises a member 31 which allows axial but not radial movement of the compressor and at the intake end comprises an annular member 18 supported by pivoted links 32 attached to pins 34 which may slide radially relative to the mounting ring 26, thus allowing both axial and radial movement of the compressor. The turbine driving the compressors is supported by a cantilever structure 29 from the annular ring 18. The compressor comprises an axial flow compressor 9, followed by a two-stage centrifugal compressor 10. The combustion chambers 7 may be located between the channel-shaped beams 27.

Abstract: 1,074,338. Windscreen wipers. TRICO PRODUCTS CORPORATION. June 24, 1965 [June 24, 1964], No. 26846/65. Heading A4F. [Also in Division F2] A windscreen wiper transmission has operator controlled means for determining the length of dwell. A worm wheel 55 is continuously driven and is fast with a driving wheel 56 having a clutch pawl 37 pivotally mounted thereon and biassed outwardly by a spring 41 (see Fig. 3, not shown) into engagement with a lug (45) on a driven clutch member 43 fast with an output shaft 50 which oscillates the windscreen wipers through a crank arm 20 and a linkage.

An electrode adapted to provide high current densities at points distributed over an area comprises a conductive metal sheet 33, Fig. 4, e.g. of steel, a plurality of conductive metal elements 34 electrically connected to the sheet 33 and projecting outwardly from spaced points distributed over the surface thereof, an insulating material 36, e.g. polystyrene or tetrafluoroethylene polymer, filling the spaces between the elements 34, the outer extremities 37 of which are left exposed. The elements 34 are formed by punching the sheet 33 to leave an aperture 35 adjacent each element 34. The electrodes are bipolar, the elements 34 forming the cathode surface 29, the opposite face being welded to a steel sheet 30 to which is spot welded one or more metal wire screens 32, preferably of a copper-nickel alloy, forming the anode surface 28. A stack of such electrodes separated by spacers 38 are pressed together by tie rods for the passage of liquid therethrough in carrying out the process described in Specification 860,549 has bars 26, 27, Fig. 3, being connected respectively to the end electrodes 22, 23. The stack is divided into three sections connected for liquid flow in parallel, each section having an insulating inert conduit 18a at the bottom and an insulating outlet conduit 19a at the top for series liquid flow through the section. The surface 29 of each electrode has tapered upstanding baffles 39, Fig. 5, to direct the flow of liquid, exposed areas being left on the surface 28 to receive the tops of the baffles of the adjacent electrode, liquid flow being as indicated in Fig. 5 from holes in the spacer 38 to an opening 42 in the electrode which leads to the next compartment. Gases are vented cocurrently with the liquid through the outlet 19a, the apparatus being tilted to facilitate this so that spacer 38a, Fig. 5, is above spacer 38b in each compartment, an opening being provided in the baffle 39a at the end nearest the spacer 38a to vent gas from the channel 29a formed by the baffle 39a.

Abstract: 1,273,778. Spark chamber detectors. AGA A.B. 28 May, 1969 [30 May, 1968], No. 26909/69. Heading H1D. In apparatus for making visible invisible radiation, such as the flux density of γ-quanta or the two-dimensional distribution of #-particles, comprising a spark-chamber detector and an integrating recorder for providing an indication of the pattern of sparks, the electrode system of the spark chamber detector, Fig. 3, comprising an auxiliary electrode 30 mounted between a flat cathode 29 and anode 31 and connected directly to the cathode, is replaced by the system shown in Fig. 5, in which the auxiliary electrode 40 and anode 41 are fixed to metal rings 42 and 43 respectively and stretched along the upper and lower surfaces of an insulating support ring 44 having a thickness which gradually increases in a region around the central opening to a value equal to the required separation of the electrodes, e.g. between 0À5 and 9 mm. The said upper and lower surfaces of the ring 44 are coated with material of high conductivity to prevent sparking across the inner periphery of the ring. The metal ring 42 is separated by an insulating washer 35 from a metal supporting ring 23 and a collimator 24 on which the cathode 29 rests. Ring 23 and a ring 21 securing a window 22 are screwed to a metal cylinder 20 provided with a supply port for a gas, e.g. argon, and an insulated bush 26 for the power supply, and supporting an apertured gas distribution ring 28. The electrodes 40 and 41 may be of W gauze if the recorder is a camera. Alternatively the electrodes may be parallel wires to enable the pattern of sparks to be recorded by a digital recording circuit. In either case the wires of one electrode should not be parallel to those of the other. The cathode 29 may be of Ag or Au applied as a thin layer to a support of synthetic material. Alternatively the cathode may be mounted on a metal support, e.g. Cu, having a roughened surface.

Abstract: 246,253. Bisset, D. L., and Whittall Can Co., Ltd., A. R. Nov. 13, 1924. Articles traversed during drying.-Apparatus for drying the gummed ends of paper containers comprises rotatable screw shafts between which the articles are fed and along which they are elevated by engagement with the threads on the shaft, hot air being passed over the articles. In the apparatus described, six shafts 12 - - 17 are provided, and the blanks are first elevated between the pairs 12, 14 and 14, 16, and then lowered between the pairs 13, 15, and 15, 17. The distance of the outer shafts 12, 13, 16, 17 from the shafts 14, 15 is adjustable in order to accommodate different sizes of articles. Shaft 14 takes the main drive, and is connected by gears 110, 111 with the shaft 15. The outer shafts are driven through idlers 116, 118 mounted on carriers 117,119 which are pivoted to the lower bearings of the shafts. The articles are fed singly by means of a reciprocating slide 62 which is provided with pivoted fingers 54, 68. Pivoted fingers 55, 63 on the table 53 prevent the withdrawal of the article. The articles are fed into the centre of a pair of channels 80, 81 formed by curved guides 78, 79 and an oscillating arm 77 engages the articles and delivers alternately to the right or left hand branch of the channel, as shown in Fig. 1. If an article fails to enter the space between the shafts or becomes bent it deflects one of the arms 84, 85 and causes a clutch to be thrown out to stop the apparatus. The articles are guided in their upward and downward passage by members 48 - - 51 and are transferred at the top of the apparatus by members 44, 45 carried by arms 39, 40 which are oscillated by eccentrics driven from the shaft 15. The dried articles are discharged on to shoots 20. Air heated by a burner is forced by a blower 101 through a duct 98 which discharges into a casing surrounding the screwed shafts through apertures 148 - - 151 which decrease in size upwardly. The air emerges by apertures 152 - - 155, which decrease in size downwardly, and is drawn into the blower 101 through a duct 99.
