Abstract: 863,460. Metal roof awning. KOOL-VENT METAL AWNING CORPORATION OF AMERICA. June 5, 1957 [Feb. 4, 1957], No. 17918/57. Class 20(4) A sloping metal roof awning has inverted end channels 4 with a gutter-like flange 19, Fig. 5, over which projects horizontal strips 3 extending across the width of the roof in overlapping stepped relation. An end curtain 5 is formed of a series of angled plates which have sloped upper portions 6 that fit under a flange 7 on the end channels 4 and which are attached to a step-like formation 10 formed in a horizontal brace 9 the ends of which are connected to main rafters 8. Brackets 12 at the ends of the main rafters 8 secure between them a horizontal beam 13 to which are also connected intermediate rafters 11 parallel to the end rafters 8. The intermediate rafters 11 are U-shaped with an outwardly turned flange 23 at each side having a down-turned lip which is of the same height as a flange 20 formed upwardly of the flange 19 of each end channel 4. A rafter 11 is placed alongside an end channel 4 which it engages, Fig. 5, the flange 19 forming a drainage channel. The members 3 have bent over portions 25 ... 28 arranged in overlapping relationship and connected by clips 29, Fig. 3, which fit into slots formed in the rafters 11 and which anchor the members 3 whilst holding them in spaced relation for ventilation and admission of diffused light. At the upper end of the awning a flashing 33 engages a building wall and has a sloped flange 34 bolted to the end channels 4. At the bottom edge of the awning there is a valance strip 36 the top part of which forms the extreme lower part of the awning slope and has an indented channel 40 for rigidity which may be ornamented. The end channels 4 are bent down at 41 at each end of the valance which is butted against and secured to the downturned parts. In a modification for extending the length of the awning, intermediate end channels are used, Fig. 6 (not shown) wherein both sides have flat surfaces and lips and engage intermediate rafters. A modification of the members 3, Fig. 8 (not shown), allows the upper surface of the fixing clips to be parallel with the slope of the awning so that the upstanding legs are perpendicular to the rafters 11 and the members 3 are slightly angularly offset where they pass over the top of the fixing clip.
Patent GB-1097418-A (GB)
Title: High magnetic field superconductor
IPC: H01L39/24
Filed: 1965-04-28
Abstract: A Ti-Nb superconducting alloy forming a beta-solid solution phase is warm aged below the beta-phase solubility limit, e.g. at between 200 and 700 DEG C. for between 15 minutes and 10 hours, to precipitate a dispersed finely divided second phase, e.g. comprising alpha-Ti, in the alloy matrix to increase superconducting current density in high magnetic fields.  Prior to warm ageing, the alloy is beta-solid solution annealed, e.g. by heating at 800 DEG C. in vacuum and water, oil or air quenching, and preferably cold worked, e.g. into wire or strip, for high field solenoids, by rolling, swaging or drawing.  The binary Ti-Nb alloy may be modified by adding an element forming a beta-eutectoid type phase diagram with Ti, e.g. Bi, B, Cr, Co, Cu, Au, Fe, Pb, Mn, Ni, Si, Ag or U, to precipitate on warm ageing an intermetallic compound of the element and Ti as a dispersed second phase in the alloy matrix. Alternatively, an alpha-titanium stabilizing element such as Al, Ga, Ge, La or Ce may be added to the alloy to raise the alpha to beta transformation temperature of Ti, so that on solution heating in the beta region e.g. by homogenizing at 600-1600 DEG C., quenching and warm ageing within the alpha-beta region e.g. at 400-1000 DEG C., alpha-Ti is precipitated as a dispersed second phase in the alpha-beta alloy matrix.  The alloy may have a composition of 10 to 70% by weight Nb, balance Ti, the additive element if present ranging from 1 to 10% by weight.
