Patent GB-732300-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to cupola furnaces and methods of operating such furnaces
IPC: F27B1/00
Filed: 1953-05-14
Abstract: A process for continuously operating a cupola furnace for the production of highquality iron consists in employing an excess of carbon in the charge and forcing heated air into the cupola to oxidize the carbon and to raise the temperature in the furnace to melt any small quantities of metallic oxides in the charge and reduce them directly to metal while maintaining in the cupola a reducing atmosphere and a slag bath of substantially constant depth through which the molten metal passes to cause the metal to react with the slag.  The temperature of the air entering the furnace is between 400 DEG  C. and 600 DEG  C. and the slag bath is kept at a substantially constant depth by providing the furnace with a free slag discharge spout at a fixed height, and keeping the gas pressure within the furnace constant.  Specification 707,947, [Group V], is referred to.

Abstract: 672,462. Cutter-bars. CLARKE, CHAPMAN & CO., Ltd., and DICKSON, J. V. Dec. 8, 1950 [May 30, 1950], No. 13485/50. Class 83 (iii). A boring-bar is provided with an eccentric plug on which a tool-carrying socket is rotatably adjustable to vary the radial spacing of its tool from the axis of the bar and so enable it to produce bores of different diameter, means being provided also for locking the socket on the plug after adjustment. The eccentric plug portion 12 of the bar carries a sleeve 20 with an inclined recess for an adjustable boring tool 25. The sleeve is clamped in adjusted position between a bevelled collar 13 on the bar and a keyed washer 22, operated by a screwed ring 15. To adjust the sleeve on the plug 12 for different cutting diameters, the sleeve is rotated according to graduations on the collar 13. A pair of pawls radially arranged in a transverse recess in the portion 12 are pressed outwardly by a spring 18 against teeth 21, cut in the sleeve; these assist in making the adjustment and also serve as a uni-directional drive for the sleeve. The bar 28 is extended at the forward end to engage an outboard guide or support (not shown).

In a manually-operated pipe coupling, for example, for connecting air lines 1, 2 in mines, and of the kind in which a ring 7 bears on the rear face of a union member 3b on the pipe 2 and has two diametrically opposed pivot lugs 8 that extend over the other pipe 1, a bail 9 pivoted in the lugs having arms which terminate in cams 11 adapted to bear on the rear face of the union member 3a so that by swinging the bail in one direction about the pivots thereof causes the cams to urge the ends of the pipes together, the pipes have plain end faces 4 and the cam surfaces are such that the full lift of the cams is not reached when the bail is swung in one direction sufficiently to bring the faces into contact with each other. As shown, the members 3a, 3b have annular grooves 5 for the reception of rubber rings 6 and conical outer surfaces complementary to the internal surfaces 12a, 12b of a ring 12 loosely fitted in a groove 12c in the ring 7 and to facilitate co-axial alignment of the pipes. The cams 11 are cylindrical surfaces having centres which do not coincide with the centres of the pivot bolts 10 for the bail. The latter are secured against accidental opening by bolts 15 which are pulled and rotated by pivoted handles 16 and urged downwardly by springs 17 when the handles are rotated to bring the pivots 18 thereof in line with slots 19 ; in the uncoupled state of the joint, the pivots 18 lie across the slots to hold the bolts in the retracted position thereof.

Abstract: 769,152. Clocks. JUNGHANS, H., and JUNGHANS AKT.-GES., GEB. May 10, 1955 [May 12, 1954], No. 13535/55. Class 139. The alarm clock 1, Fig. 1, normally rests on two outer feet 14 and a central foot 12 urged outwardly by a spring 13. By manually pressing on the case the foot 12 is moved into the case against the spring 13 and moves the stop lever 11 against a spring 15 into its alarm stopping position. A lug 17 projects from the lever 11 and a specially coloured part of it is visible through a hole 18 in the dial 8 when the alarm is arrested. The foot 12 may move in a sleeve and be urged outwardly by a wire spring threaded through a bore in the foot. The spring urging the foot 12 outwardly may be a blade spring fixed to one of the rigid feet 14. The feet 12, 14 may be provided with rubber pads. In an example, not shown, the foot 12 is riveted directly to the stop lever 11. Where the stop lever 11 is located at the top of the case, Fig. 11, inwardly movable pins 113 extend through the supporting feet 111, 112 and act on an extension 115 of the lever 11 through a spring pressed member 114 pivoted on the mainspring arbor 102. In another similar embodiment, Fig. 13, not shown, the foot 111 is connected to the pin and moves therewith, the pin actuating the stop lever through a member pivoted on the alarm spring arbor. The clock movement is correctly located and locked in the casing 1 by the interengagement of a pin 41, Figs 8 and 10, on the case and an eccentric disc 43 fixed to the movement carrier 42. The eccentric disc 43 may be replaced by a hook-shaped resilient member 51, Fig. 9.

[Class 78 (iv)] A lifting cradle comprises a front wall and two side walls, spaced tines extending from the lower edge of the front walls and parallel with the lower edges of the side walls, and a removable transverse member adapted to support the free ends of the tines. Tines 17 form the floor of a cradle having a rear wall 10 in the base of which the tines are secured, and side walls 11, 12. The cradle is lifted by chains engaging bolts 15 secured in suitably reinforced parts of the walls 11, 12. To engage the load which may comprise a stack of hollow tiles or a stack of bricks supported by a member formed on its bottom with parallel tunnels, the cradle is moved so that the tines 17 pass through the tunnels in the tiles of the lowest layer of the stack or through the tunnels formed in the member supporting the stack of bricks. An I-beam 20 is then placed in position so that the ends 19 of the tines 17 are supported by brackets 23 on the beam. The beam 20 is supported as shown in Fig. 7 by rails 16 reinforcing the walls 11, 12 along their bottom edges, and is held in positionby hooks 28 pivoted on levers 27 and engaging blocks 29 secured near the ends of the beam 20, the levers 27 being pivoted to brackets 26 on the side walls and being adapted to be held in locking position by a pin 31 passing through registering holes in the lever and in a bracket 30. The cradle is preferably formed from sheet steel and the beam 20 from aluminium. A sheet metal floor may be laid over the tines where the load would fall between them.

Title: Improvements in or relating to waterproofing of textile fabrics, and new titanic andzirconic acid esters and compositions thereof
Inventor: STROUD VICTOR ARTHUR
IPC: D06M13/503
Filed: 1955-05-13
Abstract: The invention comprises the 3,5,5-trimethyl hexanol-1 esters of titanic and zirconic acids which may be prepared by reaction of 3,5,5-trimethyl hexanol-1, in pure or commercial form, with titanium or zirconium tetrahalides.  The esters may also be prepared by the alcoholysis of butyl titanate or zirconate with 3,5,5-tri-methyl hexanol-1.  In particular, the titanium ester may be prepared by mixing butyl titanate with 3,5,5-trimethyl hexanol-1, and distilling the mixture under reduced pressure, whereby n-butyl alcohol is distilled off and the desired titanium ester is obtained in the residue.  A detailed example of this preparation is given using nonyl alcohol (i.e. commercial 3,5,5-tri-methyl hexanol).  The esters are used in water-proofing compositions for textile fabrics (see Group VIII).
