Title: A stackable pallet with stacking buffer members
IPC: B65D19/00
Filed: 1980-04-14
Abstract: A one-piece pallet comprises a substantially rectangular panel which forms the load-bearing surface 10 of the pallet. Hollow feet 1 are located along the edges of the panel and a further foot 1a in the geometric centre thereof. The feet 1, 1a are disposed so as to project and taper downwardly of the panel, the latter having an opening above each foot 1, 1a. Upwardly open channel- shaped ribs 2 interconnect each two neighbouring feet 1 and further ribs 3 extend diagonally from the central foot 1a toward respective corner feet 1. Each rib 3 has, at its free end, an integrally formed stacking buffer member 3a, whose height is smaller than that of the feet 1, 1a and whose length and width are greater on the bottom side of the panel that on the top side thereof. in a stacked position of a plurality of such pallets the nesting feet of the pallets are prevented from jamming by the buffer members 3a which by virtue of being part of the ribs 3 are less liable to be accidentally damaged during handling of the pallets. <IMAGE>

Title: Backer for electron beam hole drilling
Inventor: JORDAN L W
IPC: B23K9/035
Filed: 1980-05-14
Abstract: Disclosed is an electron beam hole drilling process in which the workpiece surface where the hole exits is covered with a backer, comprising particulate bonded to itself and the exit surface by a binding agent which is at least partly convertible into a liquid for removal after drilling. The backer enables a hole having substantial uniform symmetry along its length to be drilled and is particularly useful for hollow parts and contoured surfaces. Backers removable by liquifying, melting, dissolution, leaching and the like, are particularly useful for inaccessible exit surfaces. In a preferred embodiment the backer is comprised of a nonmetallic particulate such as glass while the binder is a soluble silicate. <IMAGE>

Title: A motor vehicle provided with means for placing and removing an energy storage device
IPC: B60K1/04
Filed: 1980-06-17
Abstract: An electrically driven motor vehicle has a receiving space for an electric storage battery. The space contains a frame 4 for supporting the battery which is movable vertically between a loaded and an unloading position in which the battery can be replaced. The frame 4 is raised by lifting means comprising, at each side 20 of the frame, two only pairs of draw straps 10, 11.

Title: Inflatable liferaft
IPC: B63C9/06
Filed: 1980-07-03
Abstract: In an inflatable liferaft having a support panel (12 or 13) which serves as a floor and an inflatable buoyancy tube (11) extending round the support panel, the inner and outer walls of the buoyancy tube are joined together along their upper and lower edges and further joined together along join lines (21) between the upper and lower edges to divide the interior of the buoyancy tube into compartments (24-27). The join lines between the upper and lower edges extend in directions transverse to the upper and lower edges and are spaced apart along the length of the buoyancy tube, thereby to restrain separation of the inner and outer walls in such a manner that a vertical cross-section of the buoyancy tube, when inflated, is vertically elongate.

Title: Production of carboxylic acids from acyl fluorides formed by carbonylation
IPC: C07C51/00
Filed: 1982-06-04
Abstract: A carboxylic acid, e.g., isobutyric acid, is produced by reacting an acyl fluoride, e.g., isobutyryl fluoride, with less than the total amount of water required to hydrolyze all of the acyl fluoride to the carboxylic acid under conditions whereby the anhydrous acid, e.g., HF, forms. The acyl fluoride has been produced by reacting an organic compound such as propylene with carbon monoxide and an anhydrous fluoride acid. Hydrolysis takes place at 20 to 150 DEG C at a pressure of 1 bar to 340 bars. The ratio of anhydrous hydrogen fluoride to acyl fluoride is within the range 0.01 to 95.5 parts by weight anhydrous hydrogen fluoride to 99.99 to 4.5 parts by weight of the acyl fluoride.
Patent GB-2101265-A (GB)
Title: A V-belt drive pulley system
Inventor: CLEMENS RONALD
IPC: F16H9/04
Filed: 1982-06-28
Abstract: A V-belt drive pulley system has a driving pulley (1) and a driven pulley (2) which is adjustable to change the belt tension. Adjustment is carried out by means of a servo-motor (11) which acts via a spring (15) on a support member (7) carrying adjustable V-belt pulley (2) for the purpose of increasing the V-belt tension. A control element (17) controlling the servo-motor (11) and responding to the amount of spring compression is assigned to the spring (15). When the V-belt tension decreases, this control element automatically ensures retensioning of the V-belt (3). Friction wheels (18, 19) (Figure 2) are assigned to the V-belt pulleys (1, 2) coaxially to them and cause a reversal of the sense of rotation when they approach one another and when the V-belt (3) slackens. Consequently, the servo- motor (11) is reversible for the purpose of reversing the sense of rotation. Since this reversal can be effected from the driver's seat of the tractor when the drive is used in field choppers, the drive is of primary importance when the intake feed of the chopping machine is reversed by remote control. <IMAGE>

Title: Hydrocyclone with multiple fastening device
Inventor: NEESE THOMAS
IPC: B04C11/00
Filed: 1982-12-21
Abstract: In a hydrocyclone, a fastening device simultaneously connects in a pressure-tight manner the hydrocyclone inlet conduit (3) to a feed pipe (4) and the hydrocyclone head (6) to the hydrocyclone body (5). The hydrocyclone head is provided with an annular flexible sealing lip which, under the action of an axially applied pressure, engages against the inner wall of the hydrocyclone body and thus automatically forms a seal therewith. The fastening device consists of a pressure element (1) which is arranged opposite the feed pipe (4) and is spatially rigidly connected to the latter and to the holding elements (7). When the pressure element (1) is actuated and bears against an abutment (2) on the body (5), the feed pipe (4) is fluid-tightly drawn against the inlet conduit (3) and simultaneously by the head (6) is pressed against the body (5) by the holding elements (7). <IMAGE>
