Abstract: 1,177,926. Mooring ships; buoys. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N.V. 3 May, 1967 [6 May, 1966; 21 Sept., 1966], Nos. 20159/66 and 42252/66. Headings B7A and B7S. [Also in Division E1] ] A subaqueous one-point mooring system for either loading or unloading a fluid, e.g. oil or gas, into or from a ship includes a tubular pile 3, Fig. 1, having a first part 1 carrying pipes 8, 8a with flexible portions 17, 17a and a second part 2 rotatively mounted on the first part and furnished with devices 7 to which mooring cables or chains for the ship can be attached. The pipes 8, 8a and further pipes 9, 9a are connected to a pipe swivel 10, the latter pipes having flexible portions 15, 15a and flanges 14, 1 4a, which facilitate connection of the pipes to the ship by hoses. Hooks 13, 13a support the pipes 9, 9a when they are not in use. Swivels 11, 11a are also included in the last mentioned pipes. The pipe 9 communicates with pipe 8 and the pipe 9a communicates with the pipe 8a, whereby dissimilar fluids can be supplied to or discharged from the ship simultaneously. A second embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown), is generally similar to that shown in Fig. 1 save that it permits the ship to receive or discharge only a single fluid thereby. In a third embodiment, Fig. 3 (not shown), the pile is replaced by a buoyant base (43) furnished with a marker buoy (61). In a fourth embodiment, Fig. 5, a tubular pile 103 supports a first part 101 carrying a rotatable second part 102 to which a mooring chain or cable 115 for the ship is attached and supported by buoys 113, 116. A marker buoy 118 is attached to a ring 102. A hose 107 provided with floats 123 is connected to a swivel 110 by a pipe 109, the swivel affording connection to a pipe 121 containing a flexible portion 122. A fifth embodiment, Fig. 6 (not shown), is similar to that shown in Fig. 5 saving that the pipe extends to a greater height, the mooring chain or cable is attached to a rotatable ring (132) and the hose (141) is connected to a swivel (140) at the uppermost end of a pipe (138) extending vertically through the pile. The arrangement of hoses, buoys and chains or cables according to either of the fourth and fifth embodiments is included in the first, second and third embodiments, a somewhat similar arrangement being described with reference to Fig. 4 (not shown), which arrangement can also be included in the first three embodiments. In a sixth embodiment, Fig. 7, which is generally similar to the second one, the load on a mooring chain or cable 218 is partially carried by a buoy 212 that produces the effect of a spring. The characteristics of the buoy depend upon its shape, which may be cylindrical or conic. A buffer (not shown) may be provided to limit downward displacement of the buoy. This buoy may be included in any of the other embodiments.

Title: Improvements in or relating to elastic wave transmission systems
IPC: H03H9/36
Filed: 1965-10-06
Abstract: 1,110,938. Elastic wave transmission systems. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. 6 Oct., 1965 [6 Oct., 1964], No. 42345/65. Heading H3U. An elastic wave transmission system comprises means for launching an elastic wave for propagation in a given direction along a transmission path, the path including a body of non- conductive ferromagnetic material having gyromagnetic properties for shaping the front of the wave, the body being magnetized with components of magnetization parallel to said given direction that vary in strength with radial distance away from the centre of the transmission path. In a particular application the system functions as a delay line and the magnetic field strength increases with the radial distance to cause the front of the propagated wave to be more delayed at the centre than at the edge whereby the wave front has a convex form so that the transmitted energy is focused towards the receiving end of the transmission path and less energy is lost by interacting with the boundary of the path. The underlying theory is described. An embodiment of a delay line, Fig. 1, comprises a transmission path formed of two cylindrical bodies 10, 10<SP>1</SP> of glass or metal alloy and bonded respectively, to input and output piezoelectric transducers 11, 12. The diverging propagated wave front 19 is focused into a concave wave front 20 by means of a cylindrical body 14 of ferromagnetic material having gyromagnetic properties, e.g. yttrium iron garnet, lithium ferrite, europium iron garnet, this body being bonded to the bodies 10, 10<SP>1</SP>. A solenoid 15 having a short axial length compared with its diameter produces a field having components parallel to the path axis 13, this field increasing in intensity with radial distance away from the axis (Fig. 2, not shown). The field may alternatively be formed by a permanent magnet (Fig. 5, not shown).

Filed: 1969-09-03
Abstract: 1277482 Refrigerating CARRIER CORP 3 Sept 1969 [18 Dec 1968 (2)] 43659/69 Heading F4H An absorption refrigeration system comprises a generator 10, a condenser 11, an evaporator 15 and an absorber 12, and a duct or ducts 100 connecting an absorbent solution sump 52 and a refrigeration sump 85 in order that at low ambient absorber temperatures, additional refrigerant vapour is absorbed in the absorber 12 whereupon excess absorbent solution overflows from sump 52 into sump 85, so that the vapour pressure of the refrigerant is lowered and its evaporation temeperature increased. As the ambient absorber temperature rises, this process is reversed, contaminated refrigerant flowing from sump 85 to sump 52 and thence to the generator 10. Cooled refrigerant is pumped from sump 85 through an air cooling heat exchanger 18. In a heating cycle of the system, valves 107 and 111 are opened and pumps 29, 54 inoperative, a mixture of refrigerant and absorbent solution being heated in generator 10 and flowing through ducts 60, 115, 88 to heat exchanger 18 and back to the generator and through ducts 28, 110, 100, 88 to the heat exchanger 18. The evaporator 15 may be adiabatic, or may include a heat exchanger. Separate heat exchangers 18 for heating and cooling air may be provided. The sumps 85, 52 may be integral with evaporator 15 and absorber 12 respectively. The or each duct 100 may include a valve. The condenser 11 and absorber 12 are water or air cooled. An additive such as 2-ethyl-n-hexanol is added to the absorbent solution, and overlies the heated absorbent solution in a liquid trap 62 during the heating cycle of the system.

The split ring 12 has axial grooves 52 to increase its flexibility, a fiange 62 which retains the ring 12 in the recess 42, a conical surface 60 which centers the ring 12 when the hanger 64 is landed on it, and a conical surface 66 which acts as a cam surface to allow full bore well tools to be pulled upwardly through the ring 12 when the ring 12 extends into the bore 27. The split ring 12 can be expanded to retract it into the recess by rotation of a cam 70 (Fig. 6) positioned between the ends 44, 46 of the ring 12. The cam 70 is rotated by means of square-end 114 on shaft 72, the two operative positions of the cam 70 being determined by pins 96, 98 engaging stop surfaces (not shown) on member 82. The cam 70 can be locked in the position in which it holds the ring 12 in its retracted position within the recess by means of a split pin (not shown).

Abstract: 1286015 Watches A SCHILD SA 14 Sept 1970 [15 Sept 1969] 43871/70 Heading G3T A click device for providing limited recoil of a ratchet wheel 1 when the latter is rotated in the  direction of arrow 18 to wind a watch mainspring comprises a member 6 having an arm 11 terminating in a circular head 13 by means of which the member 6 is pivotally mounted within a recess 5 provided in barrel bar 3. The member 6 has an asymmetric tooth 15, which engages toothing 16 of the ratchet wheel 1 to prevent reverse rotation of the latter, and a resilient arm 9 terminating in a head 8. On winding the mainspring, the member 6 is rotated in a clockwise direction until head 8 is brought into contact with toothing 16, whereupon continued rotation of the wheel 1 is permitted by the resilience of the arm 9. As the winding torque is relaxed, the member 6 returns to its blocking position, permitting a recoil of the ratchet wheel 1 equivalent to at least two teeth of the latter. The engagement of the ratchet tooth 15 in the toothing 16 is limited by a projection 12 on the member 6 and a co-operating portion 14 of the recess 5, thus preventing jamming. This limitation may alternatively be provided by an arcuate surface (28), Fig.7 (not shown) on the click member engaging the tops of three teeth 16. The head 8 has an aperture 17 by means of which the member 6 may be rotated manually to free the ratchet wheel 1. In a further embodiment, the resilient arm (49) Fig.8 (not:shown) of the click member lies below the teeth 16.

Filed: 1974-10-11
Abstract: 1489213 Refining glass OWENS-ILLINOIS Inc 11 Oct 1974 [15 Oct 1973] 44141/74 Heading ClM Molten glass is refined by the provision in a melting furnace of a plurality of bubbler nozzles, each nozzle having a pressure maintained therein to balance the pressure head of glass and having a volume of gas at a higher pressure periodically injected through the nozzle, such injections taking place in a predetermined sequence and for a predetermined period of time. As shown (Fig. 3) for pressure gas is supplied through conduit 19, its pressure being regulated by regulator 18. High pressure is supplied to a normally open dual input valve 50 which has the property of closing at a predetermined time after both inputs are pressurized. Gas from the valve 50 passes through a similar valve 30 to a bubbler nozzle 10. Gas also passes to one input of a normally closed dual input valve 40 which is also connected via its other input to the high pressure supply 28. After a period of time valve 30 closes and valve 40 opens thereby directing gas to a second nozzle 11 via another normally open dual input valve 31. This process continues until the valve 46 supplies the nozzle 17 and directs gas into one input of the valve 50. Since the other input is connected to the supply line 28, the valve 50 eventually closes. This allows the valves 40-46 to close thus cutting off gas from the one input of the valve 50 thereby allowing it to re-open and re-start the entire cycle.
