Title: Float operated devices
Inventor: STEPHENS DEAN JEFFREY
IPC: F16K31/18
Filed: 1997-09-23
Abstract: A float operated device such as a pressure powered pump has a chamber 30 in which a float 32 is movable. The float 32 has a low profile form, having an aspect ratio greater than 2. The float operates a toggle mechanism 46 comprising an input lever 34 and an output lever 48 which are pivotable about spaced pivot locations 38, 50. A spring 54 acts between the input and output levers 34 and 48 to provide the toggling action. The toggle mechanism operates a valve arrangement 62, to admit steam to chamber 30 which closes non-return valve 64 and forces condensate in the chamber out through valve 68. Valve 68 is also opened by the action of the float. The non-return valve has an inclined seat 66 and a valve flap which is pivotably mounted so as to open by hanging vertically in the absence of a pressure difference across the valve.

Title: Component assembly machine
Inventor: MEAD R J P
IPC: B23P15/26
Filed: 1997-09-29
Abstract: A machine for assembling a heat exchanger of the type commonly used for motor vehicle radiators comprises a generally rectangular working table 4, press plates 6 and a stop 42. The components of the radiator are acted upon by the press plates mounted on roller screws 22 which are driven by electric servo motors 32. The extent of travel of the press plates 6 is measured by sensing devices which allows a computer, which controls the actuation of the servo motors 32, to calculate the position of the press plates precisely, and thus to control their translation such that radiators are repeatedly uniformly constructed. The time taken to produce a single radiator is also drastically reduced.

Title: Marine pipelay system
Inventor: SEGUIN BRUNO ROGER
IPC: F16L1/19
Filed: 1999-04-01
Abstract: A marine pipelay vessel 10 is equipped with pipe laying apparatus 12. Mounted on a main support structure (22, figure 4) are a pipe supporting tower 18, a connecting station 14 for connecting together pipe sections 100, eg by welding, and a movable clamp (60, figure 4) for launching the pipeline, while a static clamp 58 is mounted on a hang-off structure. The main support structure and the hang-off structure are movable in a fore-and-aft direction, independently of each other. The static clamp 58 releasably secures the upper end of a previously launched pipe section, so that the lower end of the next pipe section to be launched from the tower 18 can be aligned with it for connection thereto. The pipe 100 is gripped alternately by the static clamp 58 and movable clamp (60, figure 4), to allow the pipe 100 to be launched from the vessel 10 in a stepwise manner by means of a repeating cycle in which the static clamp 58 is applied to the pipeline whilst the movable clamp (60, figure 4) is being raised to its uppermost stroke position, then transferring the load of the pipeline from the static clamp 58 to the movable clamp (60, figure 4), and then lowering the movable clamp (60, figure 4) to its lowermost stroke position. This process can be repeated until the required pipelength has been laid. Preferably, the mobile clamp (60, figure 4) and pipe supporting tower 18 are pivotally mounted on the main support structure (22, figure 4), while the static clamp 58 is pivotally mounted on the hang-off structure.
