Abstract: 1,069,155. Stud and socket fastenings; remotely operable fastenings. JENNINGS RADIO MANUFACTURING CORPORATION. July 31, 1964, No. 30317/64. Headings E2A and E2B. [Also in Divisions F2 and H2] On energisation of solenoid 11 armature 9 is moved from the dotted line position to the full line position where it is retained by the cooperation of the cross-pin 24 of a rotatable shaft with an annular shoulder formed within the armature. During attraction of armature 9 cross-pin 24 is restrained from rotary movement by diametrically opposed axial slots 26 formed in armature 9. The armature 9 is released by energisation of a solenoid 20 which causes rotation of its armature and hence shaft 22 to bring the cross-pin 24 and slots 26 in alignment whereupon armature 9 is moved upwards by spring 6. The shaft 8 carried by armature 9 actuates normally open or as shown normally closed contacts 4, 5. The armature 9 may be moved manually to the position shown by a handle 46. The handle 46 is mounted on a pivoted shaft (45) (Fig. 4, not shown) having radial arms (47) urged into engagement with armature 9 by a spring (48). The handle 46 gives visual indication of the condition of the switch. The armature 9 may be manually released by means of an arm secured to the rotary armature.

Filed: 1960-09-07
Abstract: 936,455. Servicing reactors. BABCOCK & WILCOX Ltd. Aug. 31, 1961 [Sept. 7, 1960], No. 30810/60. Class 39 (4). [Also in Group XXIV] Two drive gears 42, 43 of a reactor refuelling device are connected to inner and outer concentric tubes 23, 24 comprising the fuel element make-up tube by couplings consisting of rollers projected radially from axially-movable carriers into grooves in the gears (see Group XXIV). The refuelling device, which is similar to that described in Specification 936,454, comprises a pressure vessel 1 within which is mounted a housing 4 containing the drive gears 42, 43. The pressure vessel 1 &c. may be moved across the reactor pile to position a charge shoot 14 and the make-up tubes 23, 24 over one or other of various stand-pipes 3 accessible through the pile cap 2. A nose-piece 5 fast with the housing 4 carries an electric motor 8 driving one way or the other to a gear 10 in threaded engagement with a sleeve 7 axially movable within the nosepiece, so that its end 13 may be engaged in gastight manner with the end of the stand-pipe 3. A gripper (not shown) is then so actuated that first the charge shoot 14 and then the make-up tubes 23, 24 are lowered into the stand-pipe 3, splines 25, 26 on the two make-up tubes eventually engaging corresponding splines on concentric tubes comprising the fuel element charge shoot. The outer fuel element charge shoot tube is rotated to turn a jointed feed device (not shown) about the axis of the tube and position it adjacent to a chosen fuel element channel. The inner of the two shoot charge tubes is then rotated to cause the jointed feed device to enter the fuel element channel. The two gears 42, 43 effecting rotation of the various tubes are driven separately or simultaneously through an arrangement of an electromagnetic clutch, two overload slip couplings and an electromagnetic brake (see Group XXIV) from an electric motor. Indicating devices associated with the two gears 42, 43 are used to determine how far they have turned. Finally, a fuel element tube 45 is located above the end of the fuel element makeup tubes 23, 24. On completion of the refuelling operation, the gears 42, 43 are rotated to withdraw the jointed feed device into such a position that it can be pulled-up the stand-pipe 3. The gripper (not shown) is operated to engage the end 39 of the make-up tube, and when pulledup acts through a carrier to withdraw the coupling rollers from engagement with the gears 42, 43, so that the make-up tubes 23, 24 can be pulled into the pressure vessel 1. As a modification, the make-up tubes 23, 24 may be universally jointed.

Abstract: 813,860. Transistor switching and gating circuits. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. Oct. 12, 1956 [Oct. 20, 1955 (2)], No. 31153/56. Class 40 (6). [Also in Group XIX] In a transistor circuit, a control pulse is applied between a first pair of electrodes such as the base and emitter to cause a low impedance to exist between a second pair, such as the collector and emitter to allow a D.C. signal pulse to pass between these electrodes, the leading edge of the signal trailing that of the control pulse. A number of circuits may be connected in series to form an AND gate, Fig. 4, the base circuit of transistors 11 being connected to trigger circuits 31 which may be of the type described in Specification 717,106 and normally bias the transistors 11 to the non- conducting state. A control pulse source 32 is synchronized with a pulse source 30 with the leading edge of the former slightly in advance of the latter so that with all the switches 33 closed the control pulse is effective to reverse the state of all the circuits 31. The pulse from source 30 is then effective to pass through all the collector-emitter paths of the transistors to the output 35. A delay circuit 34 is arranged so that the control pulse from source 32 is effective to reset the circuit 31 and restore the transistors to their high impedance condition. By employing a negative bias source with pulses superimposed thereon the trigger circuits 31 may be dispensed with. Alternatively the circuit 31 may provide zero bias normally and the control pulse is effective to cause a negative bias to appear thereby preventing transmission through the transistors 11. In a modification, Fig. 7, the resistor 23 shunted by a diode 76 is connected to the collector of a PNP transistor 77 having the trigger circuit in its base lead. When the output of circuit 31 is negative the collector of transistor 77 is also negative and the transistor 11 is biased off. With a zero output from circuit 31 transistor 77 is biased off so that transistor 11 may be rendered conducting by a pulse from source 75 which is fed to load 18. An adder circuit is described (see Group XIX).
