Filed: 1962-04-25
Abstract: 1,011,128. Welding by pressure-soldering; jointing; forging; extruding. AMERICAN MACHINE & FOUNDRY CO. April 25, 1962 [May 1, 1961], No. 15746/62. Headings B3H, B3P, B3R and B3V. In friction sealing metal structures, wherein relative rotation is established between the structures, the structures are forced together until metal in the area of contact becomes plastic, the rotation is rapidly stopped and the plastic metal is allowed to solidify to form a seal, the structures are such that in the seal one has a circular edge formed by a circular side surface and a circular end surface transverse to the side surface and the other has a surface transverse to the end surface and a circular surface integral with the surface transverse to the end surface and opposite to the end surface. A thicker upper portion 22, Fig. 1, of a container section 21 contains a tapered channel 23 in which the end 26 of the other section 20 is rotated and forced downwardly. The end 26 becomes plastic and flows to fill the channel without forming a true weld. If the sections are both of aluminium or aluminium alloy the more massive portion 22 will not become entirely plastic. The end 26 may become welded to the channel if suitable materials are used. The channel walls need not be undercut and may be roughened and the lower end of the upper member may be cranked. A steel section 33, Fig. 5, has a channel 34 containing a ring 36 of low melting solder and when the upper steel section 35 is rotated and forced downwardly the solder flows about the lower edge 37 of the upper section. A circular disc is sealed within an aperture in a plate by engaging edges in recesses and rotating the disc so that plastic metal flows from both edges to fill the channels. A copper tube 64, Fig. 11, extends through a steel sheet 63 with clearance and a recessed copper sealing ring 65 is rotated and forced downwardly until the ring 65 becomes plastic and part thereof flows between the tube and sheet.

Title: Improvements in or relating to process of preparing cyclic fluoroalkylene oxide compounds and the cyclic fluoroalkylene oxide compounds resulting from said process
IPC: H01B3/24
Filed: 1952-06-24
Abstract: The invention comprises saturated cyclic fluorocarbon ethers represented by the formula <FORM:0718318/IV (b)/1> where m is 3 or 4 and n has a value such that the total number of carbon atoms is in the range of 6 to 10.  Such compounds are obtained by electrolysis of the corresponding hydrocarbon derivatives (alkylene oxides) dissolved in anhydrous liquid hydrogen fluoride, at a cell voltage (about 5 to 6 volts) not high enough to result in the formation of free fluorine. Unsaturated starting compounds can also be used.  The above products are also obtained by a similar electrolysis of straight chain fatty acids which contain 6 to 10 carbon atoms in the molecule, to give a cyclic fluorocarbon ether having the same number of carbon atoms. The products are mixtures of compounds containing five- and six-membered rings.  An example describes the preparation of a product having the formula C6F12O consisting mainly of 2-trifluoromethyl nonafluoropentylene oxide with some 2-pentafluoroethyl heptafluorobutylene oxide.  Similarly prepared from the corresponding acids are products having the empirical formul  C7F14O, C3F16O, C9F18O and C10F20O, believed in each case to consist mainly of the six-membered ring isomer with a minor proportion of the five-membered ring isomer.  The products are of use as dielectric or insulating fluids for electrical devices such as switches and transformers, and for radio-frequency and microwave equipment, for the flotation of elements in mechanical devices, as heat-transfer media, hydraulic mechanism fluids, lubricants, and diluents and reaction media for chemical reactions.

[Also in Division B4] Apparatus for taking a sample of radioactive liquid L from a selected one of a number of chambers R (only one shown) comprises a tubular needle 8 extending into each chamber and terminating at the upper end 9 in a member 6 normally closed by a plug 10. The members 6 lie on circle in the plane U-U and having its centre on the axis V-V. The members 6 are contained in a glove box A having openings 1 with transparent walls and a porthole 2, the top 16 of the box carrying a support B rotatable about the axis V-V by a hand wheel 20. An inclined tool carrier D is rotatable and axially slidable in the support B about an axis W-W, these movements being controlled by jacks (Figs. 6-8, not shown). As shown, there are three tools E, F, and G, tool E serving to remove and replace the plugs 10 (Figs. 9-13, not shown), tool F (Figs. 14-16, not shown) serving for filling bottles disposed in this tool and previously put under a vacuum, and tool G (Figs. 17, 18, not shown) serving to rinse the needle 8 through which the sample has been taken. The geometry of the apparatus enables the tool carrier D to be moved opposite a selected member 6 by rotating the support B and a selected tool E, F or G is aligned with the member 6 by rotating the carrier in the support. In operation the tool F is first aligned with a particular needle 8a connected to a vacuum source and then moved axially towards the needle end 9 which pierces a rubber cap in an inverted sample bottle within the tool to induce a vacuum therein. The tool E is next aligned with the selected member 6 to remove the plug 10, the tool F is next engaged with the needle end 9 and the liquid sample from a chamber R is drawn into the bottle by the vacuum. The tool G is finally aligned with the needle end 9 to rinse the needle. The carrier D is brought to a discharging station where the filled bottle is discharged from the lower end of the tool F and an empty bottle is inserted at the top.
