Abstract: 613,369. Pipe joints. BROWN, T. W. F., and PARSONS & MARINE ENGINEERING TURBINE RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT ASSOCIATION. June 19, 1946, No. 18381. [Class 99 (i)] A yielding pipe joint which permits relative lateral movement due to the expansion of two pipes, such as a pipe a carrying high temperature fluid and a pipe b rigid with an engine body or casing, comprises two flanges c, d, attached to the respective pipes and maintained in abutment by a series of springs and plungers carried by brackets e, attached to the flange d, a groove j being provided in the flange c for the introduction of graphite lubricant to the abutting surfaces so as to facilitate the movement. Fig. 3 shows the arrangement when compression springs g are used to actuate plungers f ; the tension of the springs may be adjusted by means of screwed sleeves h. In the modification shown 'in Fig. 4, tension springs k are used, these being anchored at their lower ends to the brackets and at their other ends to a yoke member m carrying adjustment screws n bearing upon the ends of the plungers f. The invention is described as applied to rectangular section pipes. It may be modified for dealing with relative torsional movement of circular pipes by using annular flanges and sectorial brackets provided with abutment surfaces to prevent lateral movement whilst permitting torsional movement. An arrangement can also be used for amplifying the force exerted by the springs.

Abstract: 880,379. Moulding footwear. B T R. INDUSTRIES Ltd. (Rybka, K. R.). June 16, 1958 [June 17, 1957], No. 19045/57. Class 87(2). [Also in Group VII] A method for the manufacture of water proof footwear comprises using a two-part hollow mould, part 1 being for the sole and part 2 for the upper the sole part 1 first being filled with a liquid dispersion or paste of a plastic material, e.g. polyvinyl chloride, which becomes rubber-like on heating, the upper surface of the sole then being formed by applying a cover plate 3 or by using a hand tool. The sole part 1 is warmed to partly set the sole, after which the cover plate 3 is removed and the upper part 2 is attached, Fig. 3, its inner surfaces together with the upper surface of the sole being coated (e.g. by slushing) with a thin layer 5 of the liquid dispersion or paste, and heat is applied to set the article to rubber-like consistency. After the thin layer 5 has been applied, it may be set by warming and further layers applied in these parts such as the toe and heel which are subject to more rapid wear than others. These additional thin layers may be applied if desired to the upper mould before it is attached to the sole mould. The main thin layer 5 may be heated to render it tacky and metal or wooden inserts or other reinforcement applied to the areas of rapid wear. Heel cores (in the case of high-heeled shoes) and arch supports may be inserted in the mould before it is filled and held in place by clips or staples. An upper of different material, e.g. cloth or leather, may be applied to the preformed sole 4 by using a low rim mould part in place of the upper mould part 2, the inside of which is coated with the liquid dispersion or paste before the prepared upper is applied.

A tower crane, Fig. 3, comprises a base 1 carrying a telescopic tower 4, 5 with a rotatable platform 6 mounting a jib 7 and counter-jib 9 provided with a counterweight 10. A hoist 3 connects the lower end of the tower to the base 1. Two pairs of bars 13, 14 are pivoted at 11, 12 to the base 1 and at 15, 16 to the same side of the tower. The jib 7 is in two sections connected by a vertical hinge 19, the counter-jib 9 being connected to head 17 by a vertical hinge 20. A horizontal hinge 21 articulates the jib 7 on the head 17. For erection from the collapsed position, Fig. 1, the jib 7 and counter-jib are unfolded and cable 22 connected between point 11 on the base 1 and a point 24 on the jib 7. The hoist cable is then wound in by the hoist 3 to erect the crane. The cable 22 maintains the jib 7 and counter-jib 9 horizontal, while the bars 13, 14 guide the tower, which effectively rotates about the (instantaneous) hinge centre at their intersection. Fig. 2 shows an intermediate stage in the erection. In a modification, Fig. 5 (not shown) the bars 13, 14 are attached to opposite sides of the tower. This results in the crane being somewhat above the base 1 for transport. In a further modification, Figs. 6 to 9 (not shown) the ends of the bars 13 are able to slide along the base 1 so that in the transportation position the crane is nearer to the base 1 than in the embodiment of Fig. 5.
