Title: Improvements in marker and mooring buoys
IPC: B63B22/00
Filed: 1955-07-01
Abstract: 813,569. Buoys. WESSELL, H. G. May 2. 1956 [July 1, 1955], No. 19173/55. Class 68(1) [Also in Group XL(a)] To render a plastics moulded bouy visible at night zinc sulphide is incorporated in the material from which the buoy is constructed or forms a coating on the outer surface of the buoy, the zinc sulphide being a luminescent material. Panels of radio-active material, e.g. mesothorium, are held beneath windows 9 of compartments formed in the outer surface of the buoy. Thus the zinc sulphide which receives light during the daytime and in the dark emits light for a shorter time than the time it was exposed to daylight will remain luminescent for a much greater period of time in the dark due to the emanations from the mesothonium falling on it.

Abstract: 880,839. Making electrical components; force fits; welding by pressure. BELLING & LEE Ltd. May 27, 1960 [June 5, 1959], No. 19259/59. Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4). A method of securing a shrouded refractoryto-metal seal 7 in a flat metal plate 1, e.g. a copper header plate used as a heat seal in a transistor assembly, comprises contacting a flat face of the shroud 6 with the copper plate 1 and subjecting the assembly to the action of a punch 12 and an apertured die 3, the punch being provided with a bore 13 so that it acts only on the shroud, the die having a cutting edge 5 so that a portion 14 of the plate is punched out and at least a part of the shroud is forced into the place of the sheared-out portion. The seal may consist of a copperplated mild steel or nickel steel alloy shroud enclosing a soda lime in lead glass bead 8 having inset therein a copper-plated nickel iron wire 9. The force fitting of the shroud into the plate causes a cold weld to form between the contacting surfaces thus establishing a good electrical and/or heat-conducting contact between the shroud and the plate. The method can also be used to secure transistors in printed circuit plates.

Abstract: 1498898 Circuit-breaker operating mechanism WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP 13 May 1975 [15 May 1974] 20094/75 Heading H1N A solenoid-actuated operating mechanism for mounting on a handle-operated circuit breaker to provide for remote control comprises a frame having slotted side-plates 14 which support and guide a saddle assembly 20 having pins 38 which engage and operate the breaker handle 112 as the saddle is moved upwards or downwards in response to the transverse movement of core members 50a, 50b or 48a, 48b when they are drawn together by energization of their respective solenoids 42 or 40. The transverse core movement is translated into longitudinal movement of the saddle assembly by cranked linkages 58a, 58b or 56a, 56b which are pivoted to the cores at one end, to the frame at intermediate points 60a, 60b, 62a, 626, and terminate in pins 68, 70 sliding in slots in the saddle 20. The connecting points constituted by these pins are all spaced from the saddle centreline. Energization of solenoid 42 will attract cores 50a and 50b thus raising the saddle assembly to change-over the handle 112 to its upper "ON" position. The upward movement of the saddle assembly results in displacement of the upper set of links 56a, 56b which draw apart the cores 48a, 48b in the solenoid 40. Subsequent energization of'the solenoid 40 reverses the sequence. As the limit of each operation is reached a bracket 86, carried by a pin 82 on the saddle 20, moves with the saddle so that spring-loaded pins 90, 92 engage the plunger 76 of a limit switch 74 to de-energize the activated solenoid. Suitable circuitry is described (Figs. 11 and 12, not shown). The pivot pins for the linkage cranks are hexagonal, an indicator flag 106 being fitted on to the pin 60a and a pair of wrench levers being fitted to the lower pair of pins for manual operation if required. The mechanism may be partly or entirely detached from the breaker by means of the screws 116.
