Title: Pipe couplings
IPC: F16L47/06
Filed: 1983-01-28
Abstract: A pipe coupling has a body (1) with a sleeve at one end to receive plastic pipe (P). The sleeve has annular saw-tooth profile serrations and a groove housing an O-ring. A radial compression clamp (3) is used to force pipe (P) onto the serrations and in this action considerable movement takes place in the tightening and arrangements are provided to ensure that there is no side-strain or binding on the bolt (6). This is achieved in the following manner; The clamp lugs (7) are laterally machined in the form of a segment of a circle (8). Located in these segments are half round blocks (9) centrally drilled to accept the bolt (6) and free to axially rock in the circular segment (8). The clamp lugs (7) are bored with a clearance hole (10) sufficiently large to provide clearance on the bolt when the lugs have undergone maximum movement due to closing.

Title: Making screen panels
IPC: B29C65/74
Filed: 1983-08-12
Abstract: Apparatus for making plastic screen panels, and especially abrasion-resistant mining screens, includes a large rotary screen drum member on which an extruded, profiled cross-section screen surface-forming wire is helically wound at a pitch which will produce the desired screen slot width. Immediately adjacent the drum member is a rod-positioning mechanism from which a plurality of screen panel support rods are sequentially fed from a stack and welded to the wires on the drum surface in a direction parallel to the drum axis and transverse to the surface wires. The welding is done with a double-edged heater bar which is temporarily placed in contact with the rod and drum before the rod is forced against the drum. The screen drum is indexed after each support rod is attached to it by an angular amount sufficient to provide the desired spacing on the finished panel. After all the rods are attached to the wire-covered drum, the wires are severed along a line parallel to the drum axis and the now-finished panel is removed and used as is or preferably is cut to form several smaller panels.

Title: Lockup torque converter
IPC: F16H61/14
Filed: 1983-10-17
Abstract: A torque converter having an engine-driven pump impeller fastened to an input shell and a fluid-driven turbine runner mounted on an output shaft is equipped with a fluid-operated lockup clutch for providing a direct mechanical drive between the input shell and the output shell. The lockup clutch is maintained in a slipping engagement condition in an intermediate speed range. This slipping engagement is controlled by a variable fluid passage whose opening size is determined by an axial position of the turbine runner relative to the output shaft. The turbine runner is rotatable and axially movable relative to the output shaft. The turbine runner and the output shaft have, respectively, flanges which rotates side by side. There are formed, between the flanges, a plurality of pockets which are circumferentially arranged. Each pocket has contoured surfaces, and confines a ball. Each set of the ball and pocket is so formed as to control the opening size of the variable fluid passage by causing the turbine runner to move axially when the turbine runner rotate relative to the output shaft.

Title: Seeding machines
IPC: A01C7/04
Filed: 1987-04-11
Abstract: A seeding machine has a drum (8) and roller (10) urged together to define a seed trough (22). Bristles (26) close one end of the trough (22) and a hopper (24) adjacent that end feeds a continuous supply of seeds to the trough (22).
