Title: Improvements in or relating to the moulding of hollow walls of buildings
IPC: E04B2/84
Filed: 1926-07-27
Abstract: 283,064. Rose, E. W. July 27, 1926. Moulding walls in situ.- The cavity of a. cast-in-situ wall consisting of two sections connected together by substantially vertical rows of ties 33 is formed by arranging between adjacent rows of ties two or more opposed pairs of core members 25, which are spaced apart by removable locking elements and engage the ties 33. The ties are preferably tubular, in order to house bolts 35 connecting the inner and outer mould sections 24 together. The cores 25 are formed of boards held together by vertical battens 42. Vertical members 43, Fig. 4, are secured to the edges of the cores adjacent the ties 33, and such members and the core edges are provided with notches 33<11> to engage the ties. Each of the members 43, which may be V-shaped, is adapted to be engaged by a removable bar 44 having end-pieces 45, and a locking bar 46 is arranged to be inserted between the battens 42 and the bar 44. The locking bar 46 may have antifriction rollers 47 and be of tapered form. At the opposite end of each pair of core members, a single hinged flap 40, Fig. 8, is provided, and locking bars 49 fitted with antifriction rollers 50 bear against the flaps. Adjacent core sections are secured together by bolts 62, 63. At corners, locking bars 54, Fig. 9, are inserted and provided with rollers 55 adapted to transmit pressure to bearing members 56 and battens 42. Angle-iron supports 58, 59 are provided at the corners of the cores. The locking bars 46, 49, 54 may be formed in two tapered sections having antifriction rollers inserted therebetween. The corner cores may be formed of hinged sections which are held in spaced relation by locking bars. To facilitate withdrawal of the cores, the core members between adjacent rows of ties may be in three sections, thus avoiding the necessity of hinged flaps. The cores and moulds may be of wood lined with sheet metal, or they may be entirely of metal in which case certain of the locking bars may have steel bearing plates. The tubular ties 33 may be provided with anchoring collars 34 and flared ends 33<1>, as shown in Figs. 1 and 6, and wood plugs 38 for fixing purposes may be inserted in the ends of the tubes after the wall is moulded. The bolts 35, Fig. 1, connecting the inner and outer mould sections are adapted to retain brackets 36 for receiving wood bracing bars 37. The walls are cast on to footings 22 constructed as described in Specification 257,242, and members of similar form to such footings may be arranged as a string course at first storey height.

Title: Irradiation dosimeters
IPC: G01T1/14
Filed: 1962-04-24
Abstract: 975,468. Irradiation dosimeters. LANDIS & GYR A.G. April 24,1962 [May 19, 1961], No. 15629/62. Headings G1A and G1Q. [Also in Division H1] The invention relates to an irradiation dosimeter having an ionisation chamber, in which separate capacitors are provided for supplying ionisation chamber voltage and for integrating the ionisation chamber current with respect to time, and in which the electrodes of the chamber are separated by insulation and a guard electrode is interposed in the said insulation to break the continuity thereof the guard electrode being able to be maintained at a reference potential. In the embodiment shown, Fig. 1, a dosimeter comprises an ionisation chamber IK the electrodes, 3 and 4, of which are connected to capacitors C1 and C2 respectively. Before the monitoring time the capacitor C1 is charged to a given voltage by an external source when a switch S1 is closed. If then ionising radiation strikes the chamber IK the capacitor C2 is charged by C1 through the chamber, the voltage at C2 rising in proportion to the charge and giving a direct measure of the dose received. This voltage is measured by connecting the capacitor C2 through a switch S2 to an external electrometer. The insulation 6 between the electrodes is divided by an auxiliary guard electrode G. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 3 the capacitors are formed as a double capacitor coiled about the ionisation chamber IK which is of flat rectangular cross-section. The conductor foils 1, 2 are connected to the chamber electrodes 3, 4 (as in Fig. 1) whilst the foils 11, 21 are connected to the dosimeter casing 12 with insulating foils 7 to 10 between them and the ends of the insulating foils bounding the chamber together with the foils 11 and 21 being connected to metal bars G1 and G2 respectively these bars forming the auxiliary electrode be shown in Fig. 1.

Title: Hammer with hydraulically reciprocable piston
IPC: E21B1/30
Filed: 1971-05-19
Abstract: 1307188 Percussive tools FREID KRUPP GmbH 19 May 1971 [20 May 1970] 15750/71 Heading B4C A percussive tool comprises a differential hammer piston 1 having opposed annular surfaces F 1 , F 2 , the surface F 1  being constantly acted upon by pressure fluid, e.g., oil, whilst the larger area surface F 2  is alternately acted upon by pressure fluid and connected to exhaust to effect the reciprocations of the piston. With the tool in the illustrated condition the surface F 2  is open to exhaust conduit 13 via the intermediate small diameter portion of the piston 8 of control valve 16, and consequently fluid acting upon the surface F 1  will cause the hammer piston to perform a working stroke. When the hammer piston has moved a sufficient distance on its working stroke inlet conduit 14 will communicate with conduit 4 so that fluid at the inlet pressure P 0  will act on surface F V2  of the valve piston 8 to move the valve piston against bias of fluid at pressure P 1  acting via conduit 5 on the smaller area F V1  of the valve piston. Such movement closes communication between the surface F 2  and the exhaust conduit 13 and opens communication between the conduit 5 and the surface F 2 , so that fluid at pressure P 1  will act on surface F 2  and effect the return stroke of the hammer piston. Coupling of the annular passages 17, 18 via smaller diameter portion 9 of the hammer piston during the return stroke will effect connection of end surface F V2  of the valve piston 8 and the exhaust conduit 13 so that the valve piston will be returned to the illustrated position, thus reconnecting the surface F 2  to the exhaust conduit 13. The hammer piston will subsequently commence another working stroke. Throttle valve 15 includes a piston 20 biased to opposite directions by the inlet fluid pressure P 0  and a spring 23. Thus the pressure P 1  is automatically varied in dependence on the inlet pressure P 0 .

Title: Improvements relating to electrical measuring and indicating apparatus
IPC: G01R27/02
Filed: 1942-11-09
Abstract: 557,053. Resistance measurements. EVERSHED & VIGNOLES, Ltd., and MIDWORTH, C. Nov. 9, 1942, No. 15825. [Class 37] Apparatus for measuring small changes in resistance comprises a twocoil moving coil instrument of the ratiometer type with the resistance under test connected so that a change in its value results in the current flowing in one coil increasing and, at the same time, the current flowing in the other coil decreasing. The resistance R, whose change is to be measured and which may be the resis-  tance of a pyrometer, is connected in series with a source of supply V, one coil B of the ratiometer, and a fixed resistance Z of negligible temperature coefficient. Two further fixed resistances X, Y, both of negligible temperature coefficient, are connected in series across the source V and the second coil A of the ratiometer is connected across the resistances Y, Z so that the difference of the voltage drops across them is applied to the coil A. The current through the coil B decreases as the resistance R increases and vice versa. The voltage drop across the resistance Y is arranged to be greater than that across the resistance Z so that when the resistance R increases the current through the resistance Z decreases and the voltage drop across it also decreases. The potential across the coil A is the difference between the fixed potential across the resistance Y and the decreased potential across the resistance Z and therefore increases. A resistor T of copper wire compensates for changes in ambient temperature. The arrangement of resistances may be duplicated, there being two pyrometer resistances subjected to the same temperature. Each ratiometer coil is connected to receive the difference between the voltage drops across two resistances, one of which voltage drops varies with the current in the resistance under test and the other remaining constant. The constant potential is in one circuit greater than the varying potential and in the other circuit less than the varying potential so that the current in one of the ratiometer coils increases when that in the other coil decreases.
