Title: Dwarf lamp with flattened pinch seal
IPC: H01K1/44
Filed: 1964-07-15
Abstract: In a dwarf lamp having a flattened pinch seal forming the base, a thin-walled copper tube for use for exhausting and gas filling is included in the pinch seal and is closed by mechanical pinching close to the point of emergence from the seal. Tubes of semi-hard copper having a diameter of less than 1.5 mm. are used with lamps produced from soft glasses, particularly lead and lime-magnesia glasses.  The tube may initially be degreased, reduced with hydrogen, surface oxidized and coated with glass, treated with borax or enamelled. Alternatively, the copper tube may be treated with suspension of equal parts of water and lead borate with about 1% of magnesium chloride.  The invention is particularly applicable to photo-flash lamps containing zirconium shavings in an atmosphere of oxygen.  The tube may project from the base of the lamp and may be coated with insulating material, e.g. thermoplastics, to serve also as a partition between the lead-in wires which project from the base to form the base contacts. A completed photo-flash lamp comprising an envelope 5 closed by a pinch seal 6 through which pass the lead-in wires 9a, 9b which are then bent back against the pinch, and the exhaust tube 11, is shown in Fig. 4.  The Specification sets out seven further arrangements of lead-in wires outside the pinch.  It is also stated that the exhaust tube may be used as one of the lead-in wires or that both these may be formed as exhaust tubes.  When it is not desired so to use the exhaust tube, the tip may be coated with a tear-shaped coating of thermoplastic material by dipping in a bath of heated material and, after this has cooled, carrying out a second brief dipping.  A cap-shaped coating may be produced by applying the tip of the exhausts tube to a ball valve in the bottom of a container for heated thermoplastic material.

Abstract: 1,271,762. Valves; brakes. TRW Inc. 16 June, 1970 [21 Nov., 1969], No. 29154/70. Headings F2F and F2V. [Also in Division G6] A pressure compensating valve comprises a housing having a bore, an annulus A1 circumscribing the bore, and a hollow pintle valve movable in the bore and having a plurality of orifices 50 disposed transversely in the pintle valve 12 which steadily decrease in area away from a loading spring 19. Fluid from a pump driven by the wheels of a vehicle passes around the annulus A1 to the brakes, through an orifice 50 to one side 30 of the pintle valve, and also to the other side 30 via a passage P3. When the brakes are applied, a throttle valve (not shown ) in the braking circuit closes causing extra fluid to be passed into passage P2. The increase in pressure causes the valve 12 to move to the right progressively exposing smaller areas of orifices 50. A greater pressure drop in the valve is thereby caused having the effect of moving the valve further to the right. The braking of the wheels decreases the speed of the pump and has the effect of moving the valve to the left.

A speed-regulating device for a record player relies for its operaation on the drag imposed on a thin metal disc rotating with its periphery passing through an airgap in a magnetic circuit. A driving motor 1 (Fig. 1), has mounted on its output shaft 6 a two-step pulley 7 connected by a belt 18 to a second pulley 17 secured to a shaft 12. Also secured to the shaft 12 is a stepped wheel 19, 20, 21, 22 which drives a friction wheel 24 which in turn drives the turntable 32. The shaft 12 also carries a disc 35 of copper or aluminium, the edge of which passes through the gap between the North pole N of a magnet 36 and the polepiece 37  attached to the South pole of the magnet. The speed of the turntable is varied by moving the magnet assembly which is mounted on a bell-crank arm 38 pivoted at 39 and rotated about its pivot by a lever 41 which is moved longitudinally by a cam 45 co-operating with a pin 42. In a modification (Fig. 4) the disc and pulley are combined to form the pulley 48 and a part circular magnet 53 is situated close to the rim of the pulley, a flange 56 on the sector 58 completing the magnetic circuit. The drag on the motor and hence the speed of the turntable is varied by rotating the sector 58 about the pulley shaft by means of the lever 62.

Title: Improvements in or relating to machines for extruding pipes, tubes and other hollow ware articles, particularly from synthetic thermoplastic material
Inventor: SHAW HARRY
IPC: B29C48/10
Filed: 1951-12-14
Abstract: 738,076. Extruding tubes &c. from thermoplastic material. BITUMEX, Ltd. Dec. 15, 1952 [Dec. 14, 1951], No. 29351/51. Class 87 (2). In a machine for extruding tubes in which a forcing screw rotates in a chamber to apply extruding force to the material a mandrel is carried centrally by the forcing screw, is restrained from rotating with the screw and at least from rearward axial movement with respect to the screw and extends into the die space where it is provided with die surfaces conforming with the interior of the object to be extruded. The forcing screw 12 is integral with a sleeve 16 which is driven by a gear 17. The mandrel 15, which passes through the bore in the screw and sleeve, is restrained against rotation by a member 19 at its rear end and has a sleeve 21 fixed to it at its front end, forming the inner surface of the die. space. The use of webs to support the mandrel from the wall of the extrusion chamber is thus obviated. The sleeve 21 is exchangeable for another of different size. Material is prevented from being forced between the ends of the sleeve and the screw into the bore by a thread 28 which opposes its passage; this thread may be cut on the mandrel or internally in the screw. To prevent rotation imparted to the material by the. screw from persisting as it passes through the die, the sleeve 21 has axial flutings 25 opposite similar flutings 26 on the inside wall of the extrusion chamber. An anti-friction bearing, e.g. ball race 29, is located in the chamber at the forward end of the screw so that material passes without interruption along the screw thread, with the object of preventing wear due to sideways force when tubes of irregular cross-section are extruded. The chamber is jacketed for heating or cooling fluid.
