Patent GB-2021728-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the lining of passageways
IPC: B29C63/36
Filed: 1979-05-22
Abstract: The invention provides that a flexible liner is everted into a passageway to line same using liquid under pressure. The liner is fed through an enclosure before it everts and eversion is achieved by pressurization of the liquid in the enclosure. The eversion takes place in steps in that the pressure is periodically relieved and at the same time a fresh length of liner is pulled into the enclosure. When the pressure is restored a length of liner is averted into the passageway. The invention has particular applicability to the placement of liners which although flexible and evertible when being installed, set hard when in position lining the passageways.

Patent GB-2054729-A (GB)
Title: Mounting cylinder locks
IPC: E05B9/04
Filed: 1980-06-11
Abstract: A cylinder lock body 1 e.g. an axial pin-tumbler lock is adapted to be inserted within a host housing having internal longitudinal grooves. The lock body 1 has a pair of keyways 11 cut into the lock casing and a profiled key 12 is inserted on the lock shaft 9 such that the edges 13a of the key engage the keyway slots 11 and project beyond the surface of the lock body 1 such that the lock body has a pair of radially projecting lugs beyond the keyways. After securing a drive boss to the shaft to retain the key 12, the lock body 1 is inserted in a lock housing having internal grooves in which the profiled key lugs engage to prevent rotation of the lock body with respect to the host housing upon actuation of the lock by an appropriate key. The lock shaft 9 can however rotate and thus actuate the bolt mechanism. The grooved housing is ideally from a disc tumbler lock and the invention thus provides a way of replacing a disc tumbler mechanism with a more secure pin-tumbler lock. <IMAGE>

IPC: D04H1/54
Filed: 1980-10-22
Abstract: A secretafacient unit or pad which includes an intimate mixture of nonfusible absorbent fibers and relatively easily fusible fibers. The fibers are maintained in an integral unit by fusing the heat-fusible fibers by embossment. Embossment is conducted under conditions of relatively low temperature and pressure. This creates a unit or pad which has integrity, without the use of adhesive, flexibility and which is relatively cheap to produce. The unit may be used as an absorbent material in a variety of applications e.g. sanitary napkins, diapers, wound dressings, panty liners.
Patent GB-2071532-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to methods of and apparatus for manufacturing slip-ring assemblies for electrical machines, and slip-ring assemblies manufactured thereby
IPC: H01R43/10
Filed: 1981-03-12
Abstract: Methods of manufacturing slip- ring assemblies for electrical machines are disclosed in which obliquely radially inwardly directed anchoring hooks for retaining a slip ring on a sleeve or hub of insulating material are sheared out of and distributed around the periphery of an axially central region of a tubular slip-ring blank. The anchoring hooks are in the central region of the blank and are bent towards one another axially; the hooks are in groups and the material of the blank between them can be removed to make separate slip-rings, or can be allowed to remain if only a single slip-ring is required. The central region can have a radially inwardly extending depression formed in its outer surface by compression with simultaneous axial elongation, either before or after shearing out the hooks, and so contribute to a saving in material required. Apparatus for performing the various steps of the method are disclosed. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2096696-A (GB)
Title: Ignition device for a gas-fired appliance
IPC: F23Q3/00
Filed: 1981-04-15
Abstract: The igniter has a conventional trigger circuit T for a thyristor 20 and an additional trigger circuit T' with a capacitor (30) charged via path A, B, C, D. In contrast to the voltage across the capacitor 15 of the trigger circuit T, the maximum voltage across the capacitor (30) is solely dependent on the voltage at B and the values of the resistors (31) and (32). Thus, after energising of the circuit, even if moisture reduces the resistance of the spark gap 24 and prevents operation of the trigger circuit T, by selecting the capacitor 40 to have a capacitance ten times that of the capacitor 30, the thyristor is triggered ten times by the circuit T' to produce ten sparks until the voltage across the capacitor 40 rises sufficiently to stop operation of the circuit T'. This multiple sparking is sufficient to ignite the burner. <IMAGE>

Title: Improvements in or relating to hinges
IPC: A47G1/10
Filed: 1981-06-08
Abstract: The sides of a rectangular frame for displaying posters have front and rear channels 7a and 7b to accommodate respective posters. At each end of the top side 3 of the frame, a swivel block 11 is slidingly accommodated within a central channel 8. A right angled terminal portion 16a of a metal rod 16 is slidably received within a slot 20 in a retaining block 12 accommodated within a central channel 8 of a vertical side 1 or 2 of the frame. With the portion 16a at the top of the slot 20, the top side 3 of the frame may be swivelled out of the plane of the frame to allow posters to be inserted and removed from the frame. The top side 3 may then be lowered, the portion 16a passing down the slot 20 to be retained at the bottom thereof by means of a flexible tab 25 thereby to retain the top side 3 adjacent the rest of the frame. Two guide plates 22 facilitate accurate alignment of the top side 3 with the rest of the frame. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2089087-A (GB)
Title: Drive mechanisms for rotatable reels
IPC: G07F17/34
Filed: 1981-11-16
Abstract: Drive mechanisms for rotatable reels often have stoppers for normally holding the reels in a static condition and releasable to permit rotation of the reels on operation of the drive mechanisms. An anti-walk device (72) inhibits rotation of such a reel at least after release of the stopper and substantially until the reel is rotated. A kicker mechanism includes a kicker (94) for engagement with formations of reel drive associated with the reel and capable of moving rapidly while in engagement with such formations and then moving clear of the formations for causing the reel to rotate. However, this can cause the reels to rotate in spite of the anti-walk mechanism if it engages too early. The kicker mechanism of the invention is thus designed for preventing engagement of the kicker (96) with the formations until the anti-walk device is in a position to inhibit rotation of the reel. In the embodiment shown, this is done by pivotally mounting the kicker (96) on a kicker member (88) and providing a camming arm (98) and stop (104) to cause engagement of the kicker at the correct time. <IMAGE>

Title: Plug for injecting fluid into rock formations or the like structures
Inventor: MICHELSEN OLE PETTER
IPC: E02D37/00
Filed: 1982-06-10
Abstract: A plug (4') for injecting fluid into rock formations or the like structures comprises a tubular body (1) with a one-way valve (3) in one end thereof and an annular sealing member (2) of flexible material, capable of limited axial movement, surrounding the tubular body (1). The sealing member (2) includes a lip or flange (6') for initial sealing and retention of the plug. When inserting the plug (4') into a borehole the flange (6') folds down and thus permits insertion of the plug. At the desired location for the plug. the tubular body (1) is pulled backwards somewhat and this causes the flange (6') to double back on itself so that the flange lies on the outside of the main body of the sealing member (2) and constitutes an initial sealing and retention of the plug (4'). Furthermore there is wedging engagement between the external surface of the tubular body (1) and the internal surface of the sealing member (2) causing radial expansion of the latter when the tubular body (1) is moved rearwardly. Upon introduction of an injection fluid through the plug and the valve (3), an over-pressure arises in the borehole and the tubular body moves further backwards and further increases the radial expansion of the sealing member (2) by said wedging engagement for final sealing and plugging of the injection hole. <IMAGE>
