Title: Improvements in or relating to oil film bearings
IPC: F16C17/03
Filed: 1936-12-29
Abstract: 472,145. Tilting - pad bearings. WILLIAMS, W. P. (American Rolling Mill Co.) Dec. 29, 1936, No. 35631. [Class 12 (i)] A tilting-pad bearing comprises inner and outer concentric relatively rotatable members one of which is fixed, that member which rotates having a series of closely spaced curved walled grooves therein of regular arcuate cross-section in which fit the backs of closely spaced bearing blocks, the bearing face portions of the blocks corresponding to the surface of the other one of the said relatively rotatable members. Alternatively both members may rotate, the grooves being provided in the member that rotates the faster. In an embodiment of the first type, inner bearing rings 11 clamped to a roll journal 2 carry bearing pads 43 which are retained in position by fingers 51 on sheet metal rings 14 riveted to the rings 11. The pads 43 co-operate with conical bores 48 on outer rings 27 carried in the bearing housing 23. The pads have chamfered edges 45. Adjustment for wear is obtained by removing or inserting shims 29 at the ends of the rings 27. Lubricant is supplied through a duct 40 and passes to the bearing surfaces through radial holes in a channel-shaped ring 28. In a modification, the pads 108, Fig. 15, are carried in rings 109 which rotate with a rolling-mill roll 106. Adjustment for wear is obtained by the use of spring-urged conical rings 118. The bearing pads co-operate with conical surfaces 101a on a fixed shaft 101. Oil is supplied through a pipe 124 passing through a bore in the shaft 101 and passes through a bushing 127 to the space A between the two rows of bearing pads. Thence it passes to the bearing ends and is returned to the pump through bores 130, 129 in the shaft 101.

Title: Piles
IPC: E02D5/38
Filed: 1971-07-19
Abstract: 1361182 Forming piles in situ HO CHEUNG-WAH 19 July 1971 [23 July 1970] 35707/70 Heading E1H To form a concrete, cement or ballast pile in situ, a lining tube 1 is driven into the ground or located in a prepared bore hole, and the pile forming material charged into the lined hole from a movable hopper 6 which is closed by a plug 8, the material being released as the lowered hopper abuts a stop 1a welded to the tube 1. The plug 8 is then reciprocated to tamp down the deposited material as the tube 1 is partially withdrawn. To form a long pile successive charges of material are deposited and tamped. A detachable iron shoe 3 may be fitted initially to the tube 1 when the latter is to be driven.

Abstract: 1,028,598. Threading magnetic core matrices. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. Sept. 1, 1964 [Sept. 4, 1963], No. 35732/64. Heading H3B. Magnetic cores arranged in rows and columns are threaded by disposing them in a jig arranged at an angle to the horizontal, providing conductor wires in guide members aligned with the rows and columns, and vibrating the guide members so that the conductors find their way through the apertures of the cores. The cores are held in recesses by suction and the guide members are tubes attached to the side of the jig or to a separate support. Alternatively the guide members may be formed by a grooved support covered by a plate. Preferably both the jig and the guide members are vibrated to set the wires moving. All the rows (or columns) are threaded simultaneously.

Filed: 1974-10-04
Abstract: 1484990 Fluid-pressure control circuits SMITHS INDUSTRIES Ltd 4 Oct 1974 35850/73 Heading F1P [Also in Division F2] Lifting mechanisms 10-13 are raised at equal rates even when a load is unevenly distributed between them by supplying each mechanism through a flow regulator 23. Check valves 22 prevent flow from one mechanism to another. Similar regulators 27 and check valves 28 control the mechanisms when the load is lowered. To regulate the flow during raising of the load, the pressure drop across an orifice 57 in each regulator 23 adjusts a sleeve 53 against a spring 59 and hence the degree of alignment between apertures 54, 62, the check valve 22 being arranged upstream of the orifice. During lowering, the pressure drop across an orifice 58 adjusts the sleeve and the check valve 28 is opened. The mechanisms may support a demountable body on a commercial vehicle.

Title: Method and apparatus for processing glass and like heat-softenable mineral materials
IPC: F27D27/00
Filed: 1966-08-12
Abstract: 1,131,563. Homogenizing glass-fibre material. OWENS-CORNING FIBERGLAS CORP. 12 Aug., 1966, [20 Aug., 1965], No. 36228/66. Heading C1M. In the manufacture of glass fibres by passing molten glass through a feeder 14 in which the glass is refined before withdrawal from nozzles 22 at the bottom of the feeder 14, the molten glass is introduced into an upper zone 80 as shown in Fig. 2, formed by a V-shaped partition 64, whence it flows through apertures 70 in the lower part of the partition 64 into an intermediate zone 92, formed between partition 64 and a partition 84, where it flows upwardly and into an upper region of a third zone 96 through apertures 94 and thence downwardly to the bottom of the feeder 14, the temperature of the glass being controlled to ensure its smooth passage through the zone and the glass in the intermediate zone 92 being in heat exchange relationship with the glass in the upper and lower zones. The partitions are of metal, preferably of Pt. and are welded to the platinum sheet walls 16 of the feeder 14, the feeder being insulated by refractory material 46 and the heating of the glass being effected by passing electric current through the metal. Glass marbles 44 are fed from a hopper 42 to a melter 12 also of platinum sheet 48, the rate of melting being regulated according to the rate of removal of the glass fibres by a probe 98 at the required level of molten glass in zone 80, which is connected to conventional current control means for varying the current passed through the walls 48 of melter 12. The current passing through the partitions causes the molten glass to rise in temperature as it flows down zone 80, it is maintained at this high temperature while rising in zone 92 and then falls to the required draw-off temperature at the bottom of zone 96. Apertures 72 in the top of partition 64 allow escape of bubbles to above zone 80 and a vent stack 62 allows escape to air. The flow of glass from melter 52 is assisted by a vertical plate 58 disposed between groups of wires 54 secured to the outlet 56. In a modification, Fig. 4, not shown, the partitions are a wide-angled V- shape, one arm being perpendicular to the wall of the feeder.

Abstract: 647,765. Intercommunication systems. LEGERTH, K. I. B. Dec. 11, 1946, No. 36607. Convention date, Jan. 24. Drawings to Specification. [Class 40 (iv)] In an intercommunication system having at least four stations each provided with a loudspeaker serving as both transmitter and receiver and with a key for calling each of the other stations, calls are set up over a number of link circuits less than the number of stations, each of which comprises an amplifier and a group of relays. A common allotter is taken into use by the operation of the start key of a calling station and operates the relay group of a selected idle link circuit to connect the loudspeaker of the calling station to the output side of the amplifier. Depression of the calling key corresponding to the wanted station then operates the relay group to connect the loudspeaker of the wanted station to the input side of the amplifier. Re-operation of the start key controls the changing-over of the connections to the amplifier to permit the calling party to speak. Release is under the control of the calling party and is initiated by operation of the station's restore key. Two-way amplifiers may be used and directional switching is then not required.
