Patent GB-2067942-A (GB)
Title: Attaching fittings to pipes
IPC: B21D39/20
Filed: 1981-01-07
Abstract: The invention relates to the internal tooling of swaging apparatus of the kind in which a draw bolt (14) is drawn through an anvil (13) so that an elastomeric sleeve (15) is expanded within a pipe (11), swaging the latter into the grooves (19) of a pipe fitting (10) held within a die (12). The invention provides the improvements that the portion (21) of the draw bolt shank surrounded by the sleeve (15) is of reduced diameter, permitting the swaging of smaller- diameter pipes because more room is provided for the sleeve (15) material, and an integral head on the rear end of the draw bolt shank is replaced by a threaded nut (25), facilitating assembly. Both of these improvements are permitted by the typical stress grading curve illustrated, which shows that the necessary weakening of the draw bolt is tolerable. <IMAGE>

Title: Control means for electromagnetically actuatable fuel injection valves
IPC: F02D41/36
Filed: 1981-07-30
Abstract: Control means for controlling electromagnetically actuated valves of a fuel injection system comprises a circuit for putting the valves out of operation in the event of a fault. The electromagnets (61 to 64) of the valves are controlled from a common power stage through the intermediary of an electronic distributor device (5) comprising thyristors (51 to 54). A control circuit (3) which responds to faulty states is present for governing a shunt circuit in parallel with the electronic distributor device, the output of the control circuit (3) being connected directly or indirectly with the control inputs of such a number of the thyristors that when those thyristors are switched by the control circuit (3) into the conducting state the resulting current flow to the associated electromagnets is insufficient to maintain energisation thereof. The valves associated with such electromagnets are therefore closed. <IMAGE>

Title: Process of preparing hexachloroacetone using phosphine catalyst to complete chlorination
IPC: C07C45/00
Filed: 1981-08-13
Abstract: First, a mixture of lower chlorinated acetones having 2 to 2.5 chlorine atoms per molecule on the average is prepared in a state absorbed in an organic liquid. The lower chlorinated acetones are further chlorinated to hexachloroacetone by the addition of chlorine gas to the liquid, which is heated up to about 150 DEG C, by using either a phosphine or a combination of a phosphine and an amine as a chlorination catalyst. Preferably, acetone is initially chlorinated by vapor phase contact reaction with excess chlorine at 70-100 DEG C to the extent of 1.6- to 1.8-chloroacetone, which is absorbed in the organic liquid together with unreacted chlorine to undergo further chlorination at 25-80 DEG C to the extent of 2- to 2.5-chloracetone. This process gives hexachloracetone very low in the contents of lower chlorinated acetones with good yield.
