Title: Key ring attachment
Inventor: VAN METER JAMES ADAMS
IPC: B25B33/00
Filed: 1985-05-30
Abstract: An attachment 32 for a split ring type of key ring 20 for separating an end 24 of the ring 20 from the remaining portion thereof and permitting ease of insertion of a key on the ring 20. The attachment 32 comprises a sheet material member which is formed into an enlarged body section 34 from which integrally extends a rounded protrusion 38. A neck 42 connects between the protrusion 38 and the body section 34. The outer end 40 of the protrusion 38 is sharpened. This end 40 is inserted between abutting ring shaped members 22 of the ring 20 and twisted ninety degrees with the ring 20 then being located within the neck 42 which results in the end 24 of the ring 20 being spaced from the remaining portion of the ring 20 facilitating locating of the end 24 of the member 22 through the opening formed within the bow of a key. The attachment may include a pin to restrict insertion of the section 34 within the members 22. <IMAGE>

Title: Improved radial neutron reflector
IPC: G21C11/06
Filed: 1985-07-22
Abstract: This invention relates to an improved neutron reflector, particularly for use in a pressurized water nuclear reactor. The neutron reflector is a rod-like element (21) comprising neutron reflective material (10) and having a substantially square cross-sectional configuration, with at least one coolant-flow groove (22) formed in each side of the rod like element and extending longitudinally throughout the length thereof. In a preferred embodiment, the rod-like element comprises a cladding tube (14) and a plurality of neutron reflective blocks (10) stacked therein. To facilitate insertion of the blocks into the tube, the latter, in its initial shape, provides sufficient clearance for the blocks to be easily inserted and stacked. When stacking is completed, and before the neutron reflector is put to use, it is subjected to temperature and external pressure sufficient to collapse the cladding onto the blocks. <IMAGE>

Title: Separable keyboard for computer; key with alterable liquid crystal display
Inventor: SUN JIUN-YIH
IPC: B41J5/10
Filed: 1986-04-16
Abstract: A separable keyboard comprising two separate keyboards each to be operated by a hand. The separate keyboards can be combined to form a keyboard by means of retainers, mortise and tenon joints, pins or magnet. Keys on each keyboard are laid in radiant direction with each transverse row in a form of curve so that operation is comfortably regardless of finger positions. Each key is incorporated with a liquid crystal display to show its mode of function. Power is supplied to liquid crystal display 12 via conductive wires 17, conductor plates 18 and conductive rubber 13 and when the key is pushed, block 20 displaces downwards so that power is cut off by wires 17 disengaging from conductor plates 18 and conductive leaf spring 15 displaces to keep contact with pins 16 to form a closed circuit. Pushing of the key therefore ends the display and the mode. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling the pH value of a liquid
Inventor: DAVIES STANLEY
IPC: C02F1/66
Filed: 1986-11-24
Abstract: A swimming pool 12 containing water 14 has a pH meter 54 to measure the pH value. The temperature is maintained higher than the surrounding atmosphere by passing water drawn from the pool 12 via an outlet 16 through a fuel fired heater 18 and then back into the pool 18 through an inlet 24. The fuel fired heater 18 produces acidic products of combustion 26 which are vented to the atmosphere via a mixing chamber 30 having a flue outlet 42. When pH is higher than 7 i.e. is alkaline the meter 54 operates a valve 36 allowing water to be fed into the mixing chamber 30 through a water inlet 38 and a series of pipes 44. Perforated trays 48 collect and redistribute the water which contacts the acidic products of combustion 26 travelling up the chamber 30 which is then re-mixed with the water passing through the heater 18 thus lowering the pH to a preset value equal to 7 which is neutral. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2190623-A (GB)
Title: Foil stretching machine with a plurality of successive treatment zones
Inventor: LANGER RUDOLF
IPC: F26B13/10
Filed: 1986-12-22
Abstract: A machine has clip chain tracks (4, 4') guided through successive treatment zones (A to G). The zones can be assembled as modular constructions from replaceable, standardized, prefabricated units. These units are mainly fully equipped, similar blower cells (1) arranged to the right and left of the web of foil (W). Blast boxes (5) of variable standardized widths may be inserted between the blower cells opposite each other in a treatment zone. The dimensions of the blower cells are suited to the usual dimensions of transport containers and their length is preferably two or three times the standard distance between adjustment spindles (b, c', c<2>etc.) for the clip chain tracks. The width dimensions of the standardized blast boxes vary stepwise by twice the width of a blower cell. The modular form of construction with standardized units affords advantages in the design and manufacture of a foil stretching machine and in the transport of the preassembled parts to a site. <IMAGE>

Title: Wrapping paper for cigarettes
Inventor: HAMPL JR VLADIMIR
IPC: D21H17/00
Filed: 1987-06-17
Abstract: Sheet material especially useful in forming wrappers for smokeable articles such as cigarettes that results in reduced sidestream smoke. The sheet is formed by incorporating as a filler in a cellulosic web an amount of high superficial surface area filler in the range generally of from about 5 to 50 percent by weight in the finished sheet. The cellulosic material may be flax fiber or other natural cellulosic fibers conventionally used for such wrappers. Additional fillers may be used up to a total of about 50 percent, and burn modifier salts included. Examples of salts include the sodium or potassium salts of acids such as carbonic, formic, acetic, propionic, malic, lactic, glycolic, citric, tartaric, fumaric, oxalic, malonic, succinic, nitric, and phosphoric. The sheet can be formed by any conventional papermaking method. When such papers are used as cigarette wrappers (4), they effect a reduction of the total particulate matter in sidestream smoke (7) of up to about 70 percent without serious deterioration of other desirable properties. In addition the sheet of the invention provides normal ash (2) appearance in a smoking article.

Title: Diesel engine glowplug installation
Inventor: BISHOP-LAGGETT MICHAEL ERNEST
IPC: F02P19/00
Filed: 1988-04-08
Abstract: The glowplug 14 is mounted so that it can be retracted from the combustion chamber 10 once the engine is running. This avoids the presence of the plug which otherwise disturbs gas flows in the chamber. The energy for securing the retraction of the plug is obtained from oil pressure existing in the engine when it is running, the solenoid operated valve 24 permitting the oil pressure to act on the piston 18 to move the glowplug 14 against the force of a spring 20 when the power supply is terminated after a preset time. <IMAGE>
