Title: Method for reducing the strength of electrostatic fields in  an oil tanker
IPC: A62C3/10
Filed: 1975-05-10
Abstract: 1462554 Preventing explosions in oil tanks TEXACO DEVELOPMENT CORP 10 May 1975 19761/75 Heading A5A In a method for reducing the strength of an electrostatic field in the atmosphere within a substantially empty enclosed volume such as the hold of an oil tanker, a liquid (preferably water) is converted into a mist of droplets having a polarity opposite to that of the field and the mist distributed throughout the volume so that the net strength of the electrostatic field is reduced. In the drawings, there is shown a manifold 1 on which nozzles 3 are supported, the manifold being disposed within the hold of an oil tanker. Water is pumped through the nozzles via hoses 39 and is converted into the charged droplets. (Due to the presence of the electrostatic field, the water stream is inductively charged to an opposite polarity from that of the field). As shown in Fig. 2, each nozzle comprises an outer tube 38 around the inner tube 37 through which the water passes, and passages 44 are thus provided through which air may be blown to move the charged droplets away from the vicinity of the nozzle.

Title: Improvements in or relating to feed apparatus for pressure storage water heaters
IPC: F24H9/12
Filed: 1938-07-04
Abstract: 507,972. Fluid - actuated valves. LE MOUILLOUR, J. July 4, 1938, Nos. 19793 and 19794. Convention dates, July 5, 1937 and Feb. 5, 1938. [Class 135] A valve device for use with pressure storage water heaters is adapted to function as a stopvalve, inlet non-return, valve, reducing valve and pressure relieving valve. In the form shown in Fig. 1, the non-return valve comprises a diaphragm 5 clamped peripherally and' provided with a central aperture reinforced by a tubular member 4 normally held by the initial tension of the diaphragm against a seat 6. This seat is carried by a tubular member the upper end of which forms the seat for the relief valve member 10 which is actuated by a diaphragm against the action of a spring 12. The lift of the non-return valve is limited by a flange 14. The valve 4, 6 opens to permit water to now from the inlet 2 to the outlet 3. As pressure builds up in the outlet it raises the diaphragm against the action of the spring, the member 7 however, follows the valve member 10 under the action of a resilient bellows 13 to cause a throttling action at the valve 4-6. When this valve finally closes and the member 4 is moved into engagement with the flange 14 a further use of outlet pressure removes the valve 10 from its seat and allows excess pressure to escape through a discharge passage 8. The inlet may be closed mechanically by rotating a cam member 17 to move the closed valve 4-6 into contact with the flange 14. The discharge valve may be opened manually by manipulating a bell-crank lever 15 acting on the valve spindle 16. In a modification the members 4 and 7 co-operate with a single spring supported seat adapted to be moved by a cam to close the inlet. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the central aperture of the non-return valve has vertical rim reinforced by a tubular member 22 adapted to co-operate with a seat member 16, 12 screwed to a tubular member 19 having a cylindrical part 26 with discharge ports 23. The cylindrical part 26 is adapted to pass into the member 22 and interrupt the flow before the valve seats. The seat member 19 is connected to the casing by a bellows 18 and to the movable abutment of the loading spring of the diaphragm 29 by a rod 36 with a flanged head engaging a supplementary spring 38. In this form both manual operations are effected by manipulating a single lever.

Title: Improvements in or relating to sheet feeding mechanisms
IPC: B65H9/12
Filed: 1951-08-22
Abstract: 715,895. Feeding sheets. BACKHOUSE, H. T. Aug. 15, 1952 [Aug. 22, 1951], No. 19824/51. Class 100 (1) Sheet-registering devices.-In apparatus for feeding sheets over a feed board for front and side registration, a suction gripper 30 is raised by suction or other means until it engages a sheet 26 on or just above the feed board 10 whereupon the sheet seals the mouth of the sucker and causes suction means to withdraw immediately the sucker gripping the sheet to a position level with or just below the level of the feed board. The sheets are fed by conveyer means over the feed board 10 in overlapping formation, and this may continue even when the front of the sheet is gripped, so that a slight buckle is formed which is employed to urge the sheet forward to the front stops 37 when the sheet is released. Alternatively, the grip on the sheet by the sucker 30 may be light enough to allow forward movement of the sheet. Each suction gripper 30 comprises a hollow piston rod 30 attached to a piston 29 which is urged downwardly by a light spring 32 and slidable in a cylinder 28 formed in an arm 18 fixed on a rockable shaft 11 supported in fixed brackets 13 beneath the feed board 10. Each suction gripper is spring-pressed against a bracket 13. A source of suction is connected by a pipe 15 to a port 16 within each bracket 13, and, in the upright position, a port 36 (not shown) in the arm 18 registers with the port 16 to allow both ends of the cylinder 28 to be connected to the suction source. An adjustable air-inlet valve 40 in the arm 18 enables the suctional force on the piston, and the grip on the sheet by the gripper 30, to be regulated, and allows release of the sheet when the suction has been cut off from the cylinder. The arm 18 extends upwardly through a slot 22 in the board 10, and has a preliminary stop 25 thereon. When the shaft 11 is rocked, the arms 18 are rocked towards the front stops 37 until the preliminary stops 25 are lowered beneath the board 10. In the upright position, Fig. 5, the ports 16 register, suction is applied to both sides of the piston, the lower side is open to atmosphere through the hollow gripper 30, and therefore the gripper rises to engage a sheet 26. When this occurs, the gripper mouth is sealed, suction builds up be'ow the piston (which here has a larger effective area due to the absence of a rod), and the piston and gripper are caused rapidly to lower, carrying the sheet with them, so that the front edge of the sheet is below the preliminary stop 25. The arm 18 then rocks to move the gripper 30 and sheet 26 towards the front stops 37, the ports 16, then move out of register so that suction to the gripper is cut off, and the sheet is released. Sheet-smoothers.-To ensure that the sheet shall not ride over the front stops 37 after it has been released by the suction grippers 30, bars 41 are lowered to press the sheet downwardly after the rear portion of the preceding sheet has moved beyond the stops 37. Specification 446,886 is referred to.
