A fuel pin for a nuclear reactor includes an elongated thin-walled tube of circular cross-section containing nuclear fuel and a cup-shaped closure plug forming a tight fit therein closed at its inner end and tapering inwardly from the outer end to the closed end, a seal weld being formed by a metal-filled welding groove at the juncture of the end of the tubular member and the outer end of the closure plug. As shown in Fig. 1, an elongated tube 12 contains a stack of fuel pellets 14 spaced from the tube 12 by a narrow annular space 16 filled with a heat transfer medium such as helium. Each end of the tube 12 is sealed by a closure plug 18 between which and the pellets 14 is an insulating spacer 20 for reducing the stresses caused by differential thermal expansion. Each closure plug 18 is of greater wall thickness than the tube 12 and, as shown in Fig. 2, has a closed domed end 22. The sidewall 24 tapers gradually inwards from the open end of the plug 18 and merges into the domed end 22.

Abstract: 991,955. Sewing machines. NECCHI S.p.A. Sept. 27, 1963 [Oct. 25, 1962], No. 38155/63. Heading D1G. [Also in Divisions F1 and F2] In a lubricating device for sewing machines having a reservoir 5 for oil, means for distributing the oil from the reservoir to the parts to be lubricated, a sump 35 for the oil and a suction-pump 74 for re-conveying the oil from the sump to the reservoir, the suction-pump has a bushing 75 which is located in the vicinity of the reservoir and above the oil 4 therein and which supports a shaft 2 having an annular groove 80 connected to left and right hand helical grooves 81, 82 therein. Suctionducts 73, 85 are provided in the bushing 75 and are connected, one to the sump and the other to the reservoir. The bushing 75, having an extension 76, has its axial movements limited by a pin 79 which is fixed to the reservoir 5, the amount of axial movement permitted being sufficient to allow the annular groove 80 in the shaft 2 to be aligned with the ducts 73, 85 in the bushing. In use, oil is first sucked from the reservoir by the grooves 81, 82 in the shaft 2 so as to prime the grooves and the oil is then pumped from the sump 35 to the reservoir 5. The suction of the pump is facilitated by a spring 86, Fig. 5, which is located between the bushing 75 and the reservoir wall. A felt 66 in the sump 35 serves as a filter; a disc 3, which is integral with the shaft 2, lifts oil from the reservoir and wicks convey the oil from the disc 3 to some of the parts requiring to be lubricated, and other parts are lubricated by an oil mist which is created by swiftly moving members of the sewing machine.

Title: An improved Alternate Twisting Method
IPC: D02G1/02
Filed: 1967-08-21
Abstract: 1,191,185. Alternating twist yarn. TOYO RAYON CO. Ltd, 21 Aug., 1967 [25 Aug., 1966; 28 June, 1967 (3); 30 June, 1967; 5 July, 1967], No. 38386/67.. Heading D1F. A method of imparting S and Z twists alternately and successively to a bundle of fibrous material e.g. a multifilament bundle, comprises passing the bundle through a pair of twist tubes 1, 2 in contact with at least one pair of contacting members e.g. bars 10, 11 disposed in the tubes respectively, the twist tubes 1, 2 being positioned in series along the passage of the bundle and rotated in the same direction at different speeds. The alternate twisting period is controlled by regulating the degree of difference in rotating speeds between the pair of twist tubes. The regulation may be by means of a braking force applied to at least one of the twist tube spindles. The braking force may be applied by a brake shoe, an electromagnetic force or by ejection of a compressed air jet. The regulation of the difference in speeds of the twist tubes may be effected by changing the contact angle between at least one of the twist tube spindles and the driving belt for that spindle. Another method of regulating the speed difference utilises electric signals emitted in accordance with the variation in the shape of the yarn balloon, the shape variation .being detected by means of a photo-electric device or by means of compressed air jets which are directed towards the yarn balloon, the pressure variation being converted into electric signals. The twist tubes 1, 2 pass periodically from the position shown in Figure 2A to that shown in Figure 2B. Since there is a larger contact angle between the bars 10, 11 and the bundle 12 in the position as in Figure 2A than the position as in Figure 2B, a larger amount of twist is imparted to the bundle in the former case than in the latter. After leaving the twist tubes the yarn passes through an untwisting zone according to how much twist is imparted in the twisting zone, an S or Z twist remains in the yarn.
