Inventor: MCQUILKIN FREDERICK T
IPC: B21D45/02
Filed: 1987-09-22
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for superplastic forming of metallic workpieces (12) and, more particularly, aluminum workpieces is disclosed. The apparatus includes a mechanism for ejecting the workpiece from the die (14) upon completion of the superplastic forming process. A steel liner (24) covers the surface (22) of the die cavity (20), and the workpiece is formed against the liner (which acts as a die surface). The steel liner has high temperature resistance at superplastic forming temperatures providing it with sufficient rigidity to enable it to be removed from the cavity at or near superplastic forming temperatures while still retaining its shape and that of the formed workpiece which it supports. In one embodiment, a cam operated ejection mechanism (128, 132) pushes the liner from the die cavity surface as desired at the end of the superplastic forming process. In another embodiment, the die is provided with apertures through which pressurized gas is directed toward the liner pushing the liner away from the die cavity surface.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is an apparatus for reproducing signals recorded in slanting tracks on a recording tape including a tape position information recorded at a specified area on each track. The apparatus has a tape speed setting circuit capable of setting a plurality of tape speeds, and a cylinder speed setting circuit for setting such a rotational speed of a rotary cylinder that the track direction speed component of a reproducing head mounted on the rotary cylinder is kept constant. A tape running control circuit controls a reel drive circuit so that the tape runs at a speed set by the tape speed setting circuit. A cylinder control circuit controls the rotary cylinder so that the rotary cylinder rotates at a speed set by the cylinder speed setting circuit. In a transition state from a normal reproduction mode to a high speed search mode, the tape speed setting circuit changes the tape speed in step-wise so that the deviation of the track direction speed component of the head in each step of tape speed change is within a range in which the tape position information is correctly read.

Abstract: The rotary lock cylinder has a cylinder core (3) and a housing (1), hardened spring-loaded housing pins (4) and core pins (5) being mounted in radially extending bores. By means of a key to be inserted into the key channel (8), the tumbler pins (4, 5) are arranged so as to allow the rotation of the cylinder core (3). The cylinder core (3) has, in bores (10), pins (11) made of hardened steel which extend in the longitudinal direction of the cylinder core (3). The pins (11) are so arranged that, when a screw is screwed in, it is guided on the pins (11) and the core pins and housing pins (5, 4) are thereby pressed into the cylinder housing (1) to the extent of a spring block. When the screw is rotated further, the thread flights on the hardened tumbler pins (5) are peeled off. As a result of this measure, the screw has no hold in the cylinder and therefore cannot tear the cylinder or pull the core (3). <IMAGE>
