Title: Practice shot
IPC: F42B8/14
Filed: 1980-03-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a discarding sabot practice shot having a longitudinal rod member 14 attached at its forward end to the nose 11 of the forward body member 10 of the sub- projectile. The body member 10 has a central inwardly directed flange 15 locating the rod member 14 and a structurally weak region 22 adjacent the nose 11. The rod member 14 has a rear longitudinal stepped hole 16 having a smaller diameter accommodating an arming pin 19. The pin 19 abuts a piston 20 adjacent spring means 21. Upon firing, acceleration forces compress the spring means 21 withdrawing the piston 20 and arming pin 19, and centrifugal forces urge the pin 19 outwards to engage the step of the hole 16. The region 22 experiences aerodynamic heating and weakens. The pin 19 then urges the rod member 14 asymmetrically to produce fracture. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2057139-A (GB)
Title: Method for Determining Electrolyte Quality in Electrodeposition
IPC: C25C7/06
Filed: 1980-07-25
Abstract: A method for controlling a process for the electrodeposition of metals using electrolyte containing concentrations of impurities and addition agents that affect polarization, uses apparatus comprising a test cell, a sample of electrolyte, a moving cathode, an anode and a reference electrode immersed in said sample, a constant current source and potential measuring means electrically connected to the electrodes. A controlled low current sufficient to start deposition on the cathode is applied to the electrodes in the test cell and activation overpotential is measured at this current and is related to the concentration of impurities and polarization affecting agents in the sample. The processes for the purification of electrolyte and the electrodeposition of metals are subsequently adjusted in relation to the measured value of the activation overpotential to obtain optimum metal deposition.

Title: A bottle opener
IPC: B67B7/16
Filed: 1981-07-15
Abstract: A bottle opener for removing caps from bottles comprises a cup- shaped removing member (3) being substantially symmetrical with respect to rotation, e.g. cylindrical or frusto-conical of an inner diameter being greater than the diameter of the cap to be removed. The removing member comprises an annular gripping means (1), which with its inner rim portion (16) may grip under the free rim of the cap during the use so as to loosen said cap from the bottle neck, and a cup- shaped retaining means (2) located substantially centrally relative to the gripping means (1) and capable of being pressed downwards on the top side of the cap during the use. A holding member (4) such as a holding cover surrounds the removing member (3) and keeps the parts (1) and (2) together. In this manner a bottle opener is obtained which is easy to orient and to maintain in the working position, and which is handy and of such a shape that it reliably grips about the rim of the cap when the latter is to be removed. The holding member may be shaped as a drinking cup or bottle stand, the removing member being located in the bottom thereof. The holding member (4) may be omitted, parts (1) and (2) being formed integrally. <IMAGE>

Title: Safe relock mechanism
Inventor: HOLMES DANIEL L
IPC: E05B15/16
Filed: 1981-10-10
Abstract: In the locked position, as shown, locking bolts 41 extend outwardly from safe door 21 into corresponding holes in the safe wall. Edge portions of plate 51, held adjacent cam plate 32 by spring 62, engage notches 63 of bolts 41 and thereby prevent opening of the door 21 by such burglary techniques as pushing bolts 41 inwards from suitable holes in the safe wall or driving spindle 24 inwardly to release the combination wheel mechanism. Furthermore plate 51 provides a barrier to attempts to drill through door 21. The only way to disengage plate 51 from blocking engagement with notches 63 is by proper rotation of cam plate 32. <IMAGE>

Title: Two gauge electronic mercury sphygmomanometer
Inventor: CHEN HSU-CHING
IPC: A61B5/023
Filed: 1981-10-16
Abstract: A two gauge electronic mercury column sphygmomanometer in which the mercury column (10) is provided with a permanent magnet float (12). After initial pressurization, and while the column of mercury (10) is falling slowly, a patient's Korotkov sounds are detected. Upon detection of the first Korotkov sound, an electromagnet (16) is energized and automatically causes the float (12) to be attracted to the inner wall of the glass tube (9) containing the mercury column (10). The permanent magnet float (12) remains affixed as an indication of the patient's systolic blood pressure. Whereas upon disappearing of the last Korotkov sound, a solenoid valve actuates to close an air passage and let a falling mercury column (10) stop automatically to indicate the patient's diastolic blood pressure. A pair of terminals positioned within mercury tube (9) comprises a switching circuit, which can be automatically powered on and off when the mercury column (10) is above and below a predetermined fixed height. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2116124-A (GB)
Title: Boat footrest
Inventor: LITTLEDYKE KENNETH HUGH
IPC: B63H16/02
Filed: 1982-03-03
Abstract: A footrest for use in a boat has a pair of lateral rails (10, 12) having aligned apertures therein fitted in the boat to accommodate opposite end of a plate member. The aperatures determine a range of positions at which the footrest plate can be located. The plate member is formed in two parts (26, 28) which are hinged together and which include co-operating surfaces which abut to prevent the hinging of the two parts from the in-line mode, in one direction, but permit hinging about the hinge axis in the opposite direction. The plate member is located between the two rails so that pressure exterted thereon by the feet which would tend to hinge the two members, is resisted by the abutment of the said surfaces. One of the parts (26) may include an overlying locking member (30) on the side remote from the hinge, which extends beyond the hinge line so that when the two hinged parts are aligned, the part which does not contain the locking piece abuts against the latter. When fitted in a boat, the footrest may be attached to the boat or to one of the rails (10, 12) by a cord or chain. <IMAGE>

IPC: F16L59/147
Filed: 1982-04-22
Abstract: A high temperature lined conduit, elbow or tee comprising, a linear 2, a flexible insulating refractory blanket 4 around and in contact with the liner, a pipe member 6 around the blanket and spaced therefrom, and castable rigid refractory material 8 between the pipe member 6 and the blanket 4. Anchors 12 are connected to the inside diameter of the pipe and extend into the castable material 8. A reinforcing band (74, Fig 2 not shown) is connected to the elbow liner (68) at an intermediate location thereon from which extend a plurality of hollow tubes or pins (76) which extend into the castable material to anchor the lined elbow and permit thermal expansion. A method of fabricating the high temperature lined conduit, elbows and tees is also disclosed which utilizes a polyethylene layer over the refractory blanket after it has been compressed to maintain the refractory blanket in a compressed condition until the castable material is in place. Hot gases are then directed through the interior of the liner for evaporating the polyethylene and setting the castable material which permits the compressed blanket to come into-close contact with the castable material. <IMAGE>
