Abstract: 1,184,030. Underwater pipes. F. FULLER. 9 Oct., 1968, No. 47758/68. Heading F2P. An underwater pipeline 17 comprises a plurality of steel tubes 14 welded together either by a number of intermediate rods 11, as shown, or by an interconnecting large diameter tube (20, Fig. 3, not shown) and encased in asphalt material 19 so as to form a structure which is buoyant when the tubes 14 contain only air, but which sinks when the tubes 14 are filled with a liquid to be conveyed, pigs (21, Fig. 4, not shown) being inserted in the tubes 14 in longitudinally spaced pairs trapping between each pair a volume of air or other gaseous fluid, whereby when further liquid under pressure is supplied to the tubes 14 the trapped gas will move to a desired portion of the pipeline where inspection is required, causing such portion to become buoyant and rise to the surface of the water. The pipeline may be laid by equipment carried by two barges one of which contains reels of rodding 11 while the other contains lengths of tube 14, welding equipment and asphalt coating equipment. Supplies of fuel for the welding equipment may be replenished via one or more of the tubes 14.

Abstract: 1328032 Constant force pipe supports L S SUOZZO 25 Oct 1971 [16 April 1971] 49435/71 Heading F2S A device for providing a constant supporting force (e.g. for pipes) comprises a body 11; a tubular housing 15; a spring 22; a lever crank 44; a rod 41 connecting the crank 44 to a back plate (21) (Figs 1 and 3, not shown) in contact with the far end of the spring 22; and various adjustment devices. As shown in Fig. 7 the spring housing 15 is secured to a plate 17 through which the rod 41 passes, the other end of the rod being secured to the backing plate (21). A ball or roller bearing (43) (Fig. 3) is interposed between the periphery of the backing plate (21) and the internal surface of the housing 15 to assist easy relative movement. Lever 44 is composed of two parallel crank plates 45 (Figs. 5 and 7) pivotally mounted on a pin 32, the pin 32 extending between side plates 18 of the supporting body 11. Crank plates 45 are connected by a bar 48 through which a bolt 49 projects. A collar 50 is secured to bolt 49 to prevent axial movement of the bolt through the bar and the threaded portion of the bolt is engaged in a tapped hole in a block 52. Side lugs 53 on the block engage in slots 46 in the crank plates to allow adjustment of the block towards or away from bolt 49. Slot 54 allows access to the bolt head 49 for adjustment purposes. The rod 41 is pivotally connected to the block 52. In use the body 11 is suspended from a fixture 19 and the load is connected at 36 via turn buckle 14 to a pivoted mounting 34. The device is adjusted to a particular load by bolt 49 (i.e. by adjustment of the "load arm"). The crank lever 44 may be immobilized in a pre-set position (e.g. the "cold load" position) by a pin 71 inserted through a plate 61 and a hole in the crank lever. Plate 61 is connected to a threaded stud 64 which is adjustable with respect to a fixture plate 66 secured to side plate 18. The device is shown in various orientations in use. Prior art disclosure.-In a prior device the rod 41 is replaced by a pair of links (25) (27) (Fig. 1), the link 25 being connected to the spring backing plate (21) and terminating within the housing 15. Link (27) projects through plate 17 and is secured to an adjuster (30), the adjuster being secured to a pivot which is non- adjustably located on the lever 44. The links (25) (27) are interconnected by a pivot within the housing 15, the pivot being constrained to move axially of the housing by a tube 23 secured to plate 17. Adjustment is by alteration of the effective length of the combined links (25) (27) by adjuster (30). No antifriction device is placed between backing plate 21 and the spring housing.

Title: Oven door window unit for self-cleaning ovens

Filed: 1971-10-25
Abstract: 1354399 Window for oven door MILLS PRODUCTS Inc 25 Oct 1971 [18 March 1971] 49453/71 Heading A4D A window unit for the door of a self-cleaning oven comprises at least two glass panels disposed in spaced parallel relationship, one panel being vertically movable with respect to the other panel by thermally responsive means when the oven temperature is above normal cooking temperatures and both panels having strips of heat-reflecting material on opposing faces. In the described embodiment the movable panel 14 is placed between two fixed panels 10, 12. The panel 12 which is outermost in use has strips 50 of heat-reflecting material such as gold foil on its inner surface. During cooking operations the strips 52 on the outer face of the movable panel are opposite those on the fixed outer panel allowing the contents of the oven to be observed. As the temperature is raised above the maximum cooking temperature a bimetallic strip 54 bends, raising the movable panel 14 until the strips 52 are aligned with the gaps between the strips 50. The heat is then reflected and it is not possible to see into the oven. As the temperature falls after the cleaning process the bi-metallic strip straightens allowing the movable panel to fall. Leaf springs at the upper edge of the movable panel bias the panel against the bimetallic strip. At least two bi-metallic strips are provided. The inner panel 10 is separated from the movable panel 14 by a continuous channel-shaped member 16 and the panels 10 and 12 are separated by spacers 20 at the corners of the window unit. A frame 22 surrounds the periphery of the inner and outer panels and holds strips 28, 32 against the glass. These strips engage flanges 38, 44 on the oven door to position the window unit. A liner 24 which may be of asbestos is fitted between the frame 22 and the glass panels.

Abstract: 1489888 Image pick-up tubes GENERAL ELECTRIC CO 15 Nov 1974 [15 Nov 1973] 49523/74 Heading H1D [Also in Division C4] A two-stage camera tube apparatus, particularly for displaying a gamma ray image includes, in sequence, in each stage, a phosphor layer, a photocathode, means for accelerating the electrons emitted by the photocathode, and, in the second stage, a semiconductor position sensor impacted by the electrons to provide an indication path of the energy of the photon incident on the camera tube, and of the position, with respect to a pair of orthogonal axes, of the point of impact of the electrons on the sensor. In the tube shown, the separately sealed stages 33 and 31 are mounted within a housing 10d incorporating a magnetic shield 10c, and are optically coupled by a fibre optic plate 35 joining similar fibre optics plates 32a and 30a on which a fluorescent screen 32 and a photocathode 30 are respectively formed. The gamma rays, e.g. from a patient 14, are incident through a collimator 13 upon the scintillator crystal layer 11, which by ¢ inch thick, is preferably formed on the outer surface of the envelope, and is protected by an outer aluminium shield 11a and dry nitrogen filling the intervening space. The electrons from the photocathode 12 are focussed upon screen 32 by electrodes 15 and 17, electrodes 15a permitting adjustment of the magnification. The sensor 16, which may be held at earth potential if transparent conductive electrodes are provided upon the end surfaces of the coupling fibre optic plate 35, is formed by a lightly doped N-type silicon wafer having a heavily doped P-type layer on the surface facing the photocathode, and a heavily doped N-type contact layer on the other surface, and is biased to produce a depletion layer extending through most of the wafer, the energy and x, y coordinates of an incident quantum being deducible from the sum and ratios, respectively, of the charge collected by two pairs of contact strips (21, 22 and 23, 24, Fig. 2, not shown) disposed along orthogonal pairs of opposite edges of the top and bottom surfaces, respectively, of the sensor. The amplification may be further increased by a channel electron multiplier plate positioned immediately in front of the sensor. In an alternative arrangement (Fig. 3a, not shown) the photocathode 30 of the second stage is formed on a plane surface of fibre optic plate 30a, accelerating electrode 36 is dispensed with, and the sensor is mounted very close to the photocathode, such that proximity focussing is effective. A calculating circuit for the receipt and processing of the sensor signals is disclosed (Fig. 4, not shown), the data being finally displayed on a cathode-ray tube, or stored digitally, e.g. on magnetic tape.
