IPC: E04B2/56
Filed: 1932-05-28
Abstract: 402,426. Building units; walls. DYKE, H., 49, Beatrice Avenue, Norbury, London. May 28, 1932, No. 15236. [Classes 20 (iv) and 87 (i).] A preformed building-unit, mainly for the construction of cavity walls, comprises two skins held together in spaced relationship by the members, c, at least one skin being built up of bricks or slabs a cemented together and having reinforcing members extending throughout. The bricks are first assembled on a table i, Fig. 4, having thin laths l secured thereto to space the bricks, and pointing material is then run into the spaces between the bricks by a machine which runs on wheels along the side rails j. The tie members c are then placed in position with holes in their lower ends in alignment with passages n extending through the bricks, and reinforcing rods are inserted through holes o in the rails j to pass through the bricks and the tie members c, after which the spaces between the bricks are filled with grouting material. Platforms r are now supported between the tie members or overlapping wedges q, and shuttering s is placed in position, after which reinforcing rods f are threaded through upper holes in the tie members and a concrete slab b is cast to form the other skin of the unit. Finally the wedges q and the shuttering are removed, and the unit is removed by tilting the table i about the pivot z. The walls are constructed by erecting reinforced concrete posts 30, Fig. 7, of a width substantially equal to that of the cavity, and positioning the building units so that the posts enter the cavities. Further post sections arc then erected on top of the existing ones, the projecting reinforcements 32 of the latter entering the bases of the new sections, and further building units are placed thereover. The building units preferably have projecting reinforcements which interlock with adjacent units. Specifications 320,353. [Class 20 (iv), Floors &c.], and 382,723, are referred to.

Abstract: 1304034 Oscillating sprinkler G H LOCKWOOD 6 April 1970 [23 May 1969] 16098/70 Heading B2F The sprinkler has a body portion 18 to which a rotatable sprinkler head 2 is attached, having a fluid flow interrupter 10 behind the nozzle inlet for giving a pulsating discharge. Fluid enters the body at 24 and impinges via holes 40 onto vanes 36 which deflect the fluid into a vortex, thereby rotating ball 14 and blades 30 in annular cavity 32. As the ball speed increases it rises up wall 52 and strikes anvil 28 attached to the sprinkler head thereby rotating it a small amount. The ball drops back and the process is repeated. At the extreme of head movement, pin 82 on the head strikes resilient arm 46 or 48 on shaft 76, which moves blades 36 on plate 34 to reverse the rotation of the vortex. Blades 32 are attached to hollow shaft 72 which carries vanes 68, 70 which rotate behind the nozzle and cause a pulating fluid flow. Nozzle 8 is an insert in a bore in the head. The nozzle and bore axes diverge and rotation of the insert in the bore permits adjustment of the nozzle outlet direction. Blades 36 are shown in crosssection in Fig. 4. The direction of the vortex depends on which of surfaces 54 or 36 is impinged upon by the incoming fluid.
