Title: Method and apparatus for applying a coating to a tubular member
IPC: B28B19/00
Filed: 1971-08-25
Abstract: 1309525 Coating pipes F C CORP 25 Aug 1971 [20 Jan 1971] 39955/71 Heading B2L A pipe or similar tubular member is coated by moving the pipe longitudinally through a placing head and rotating it, coating medium being applied by the placing head as the coating thus applied being compressively wrapped by a web of wrapping material. As shown a pipe T is supported on an inlet drive platform 12 which has rubber covered wheels 12b which engage and support the pipe. The wheels 12b are driven through a universal joint 11h by a motor 11 and are angularly displaced relative to the axis of the pipe so that they feed the pipe longitudinally as well as rotating it. Dry coating materials are fed by a conveyor 70 to a mixing head M where water is added to produce a coating material of suitable consistency. The coating material is then fed by a screw conveyor 83 which helps to mix the materials to a placing head H which surrounds the tube T. Immediately the tube emerges from the placing head a strip of web material 62 is wound around the coated pipe so that the coating material is compressed. The coated tube is fed away by means of an extractor drive 16 comprising a driven belt 16k which is angled relative to the pipe axis so that the coated pipe is rotated and moved longitudinally simultaneously. A cutting wheel 23 can be moved towards the pipe so that the wrapping and coating can be removed from the last few inches thereof in order that the pipes can be welded when used. In use pipes are butted end to end during movement through the coating apparatus so that the process is continuous. The coated pipe can receive a wrapping of wire mesh 62 which in the finished product lies internally of the coating material and is subsequently covered by the wrapping web. Fig. 4 shows the coating head and the introduction of the coating material 81 and wire mesh 62. The coating can be compacted by vibration of a panel 33.

Abstract: 1,124,802. Rolling. J. MARCOVITCH. 22 Sept., 1965 [30 Sept., 1964], No. 40312/65. Heading B3M. A cylindrical workpiece 20, Fig. 1, is profiled by passing it in a transverse direction between a convergent throat 10 formed by two rolls, 16, 18 rotated at different speeds in the same direction, and after the workpiece has been nipped in the throat the rolls are moved towards each other to reduce the pass. In a modification, the workpiece 26, Fig. 3, is passed through the throat 28, formed by a roller 24, and a hollow roller 22. In a further modification, the workpiece 30, Fig. 4, is an annulus, and is rolled between a roller 32 and a mandrel 34, the latter being in contact with a roller 36, circumferentially grooved at 38 to accommodate the workpiece. A roller (44), Figs. 5, 6 (not shown) can be moved to narrow the throat by an eccentric sleeve (48) actuatedby an hydraulic jack (52). The rolls may be replaced by members (62) and (68), Fig. 7 (not shown), member 62 being reciprocated by a power-driven rod (72), and the member (68) being moved to narrow the throat by hydraulic jacks (74). In a still further modification, a ring (84), Fig. 8 (not shown) is provided, which controls the outside diameter of the finished annular workpiece (86). In another modification, the outer diameter of annulus 90, Fig. 9 (not shown), is controlled by a ring (92) of cemented tungsten carbide inserted between inner and outer rollers (94), (96) with a mandrel (98) therebetween.

Title: Method of Measuring the Surface Waviness of Sheet or Strip Material
IPC: G01B7/28
Filed: 1967-09-05
Abstract: 1,199,328. Measuring surface roughness. YAWATA IRON & STEEL CO. Ltd. Sept. 5, 1967 [Sept. 7, 1966], No.40430/67. Headings G1M and G1N. [Also in Division G3] A method of measuring the waviness of sheets comprises measuring the gradient of the sheet with respect to a datum plane at several points on the sheet by means of a gradient measuring device, the information from the gradient measuring device being fed to a computation device. In one form the gradient measuring device comprises a displacement measuring element which measures the height of a point on the surface of the sheet above the datum plane and an electric circuit which differentiates the height with respect to the distance x along the sheet. If the gradient dh/dx is measured at N points in a distance #x, then the computation device calculates the quantities # = #x/2,#<SP>N</SP> i=1  (dh/dx)<SP>2</SP> 1 ,     and # = #x/2L #<SP>N</SP> i=1  (dh/dx)<SP>2</SP> 1 , L being defined as #<SP>N</SP> i=1  #x 1 .   The quantity # is a measure of the waviness of the surface and equals S-L where S is the distance between two points measured along the wavy surface and L is the shortest distance between these points. # is the waviness degree and equals #/L. Several other forms of the gradient measuring device including a device using differential transformers are described and groups of these devices may be used to monitor the waviness across the width of the sheet.

A conduit 14 and valves 15, 16 connect with further vacuum pumps 19, 26 and a mass spectrometer leak detector 21, and a sample volume chamber 17 of say 1 c.c. communicates with a manifold volume 20 of say 1 litre provided with a detector pressure relieving hole 24 connecting with pumps 19, 26. When testing open end test pieces, such as bottle tops, the chamber 1 may not be necessary, the open end of the test piece being sealed against the open end of the vacuum tube 4 whilst test gas is passed around the other surfaces of the test piece. In operation, the test gas e.g. helium which may be charged during manufacture into the test piece, will leak through any hole in the test piece into the tube 4 and be sucked by pump 5 into sample chamber 17 where it is trapped by closing valves 15, 16. Any gas left below valve 16 is removed by pump 19 through hole 24 and the sample in 17 is then admitted to the detector 21 by opening valve 16. The detector then indicates by lights whether the test piece fails or passes. In order to ensure that the detector is not subjected to over pressure an additional very small sample chamber 31 and valve 30 are provided, the sample initially filling both 17 and 31 but only 31 being opened to the detector at first, chamber 17 being opened subsequently when the detector shows only a small or no leak.

Abstract: 948,290. Valves. M. DHUGUES. Dec. 5, 1961 [Dec. 9, 1960], No. 43431/61. Heading F2V. A multi-way valve comprises a number of transverse conduits 11, Fig. 2, each offset with respect to the axis of a bore 2a so as to open laterally into the bore and a movable member having a number of closure elements 9. The offset conduits cause the fluid to have a whirling motion in the bore 2a to reduce head losses which would otherwise result from the sharp change in direction. A number of separate sections 2, 3, 4 are clamped against each other by four rods (not shown) which pass through all of the sections. Annular seals 5, Fig. 6, have a central aperture 5a to co-operate with the closure elements and an outer ring 6 or 7 to centre the sections with respect to each other. The movable member of the valve is provided at each end with a cup shaped member 13 and a diaphragm 14 for fluid actuation. The casing may be constructed for connection to five conduits or to a second casing with bores 2b, Fig. 5, in vertical alignment.
