Title: Improvements in apparatus for expanding tubular bodies
IPC: B21D41/02
Filed: 1956-05-31
Abstract: 793,618. Making rollers; tube expanders. UNITED STATES RUBBER CO. May 31, 1956 [July 7, 1955], No. 16855/56. Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4). Apparatus for expanding a tubular body comprises means for supporting each end of the body, expanding means adapted to be inserted into said body, and means for reciprocating said expanding means relative to said body along the axis thereof and for rotating said expanding means relative to said body about the axis thereof. An aluminium or copper tube 14 for the passage of heat transfer medium is expanded into contact with the top of a helical rib 11a on the interior surface of a hollow chilled iron roll 10 to form a roll as described in Specification 793,617, [Group XIII], for working rubber and like materials. The roll 10 is clamped at its trunnions 12 at 19 to a base 18, the tube 14 is inserted and its end clamped on the hub of a stanchion 24, an expanding tool 40 on a rod 35 is passed through the wider end 16 of the tube 14 and a hollow shaft 55 is screwed at 40a into the tool. The end 16 of the tube 14 is then clamped over the hub of a stanchion 37 on a bearing block 25 adjustable along the base 18. Fluid under pressure is supplied from a flexible coupling 57 through the rod 55 to the tool 40 to urge outwardly outer pistons 49, carrying tube-engaging rollers 53, sliding in inner pistons 42 sliding in bores 43 in the tool 40, stops 50 and 44 limiting movement of the pistons, the interior of the inner pistons 42 communicating with the bores 43 through apertures 48. The tool 40 is rotated by an electric motor 32 through a gear 34 splined on the rod 35 and is reciprocated axially of the tube 14 by an hydraulically-actuated piston 29 in a cylinder 27 carried by the bearing block 25. When the tube 14 has been expanded into contact with the helical rib 11a the tool 40 expands the end 16 of tube 14 into a press fit within a trunnion 12 of the roll 10. The expander 40 is then removed and flange portions 16a of the tube 14 are bent over to fit within recesses in the trunnion 12 and welded therein and a plug may be welded into the end 16 to close it. The tube 14 may be made by extrusion or drawing, apertures 16b being drilled or punched therein and the flange portions 16a formed by cutting out slots.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the recording of talking or sound films
IPC: G03B31/00
Filed: 1929-06-01
Abstract: 340,960. Sound recording associated with kinematographs. PLANSKOY, L., Carlton Hotel, Paris. June 1, 1929, No. 16966. Convention date, Feb. 16. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. [Class 40 (ii).] In the production of a picture film in association with sound wherein the pictures are not taken in the order in which they are to be reproduced, the sound is recorded on a single carrier, for example a magnetic wire or band, which is adjusted backwards or forwards between the taking of the pictures so that the sounds are recorded in the correct order in which the pictures will be reproduced when correctly correlated, as regards close-up and distant shots and indoor and outside views. In thus making the complete sound record and parts, for example, the long shots, of the picture record, the sound and picture apparatus are run in synchronism, and subsequently the apparatus are uncoupled and the sound record is reproduced to assist by means of counter or pointer mechanism in indicating the parts of the picture film at which certain, for example, the close-up shots, of the image records are to be interpolated. The apparatus is then positioned suitably for these picture images to be made, and if desired the corresponding sound record which was produced by a distant microphone, can be blanked out by a magnet and substituted by a sound record produced by a microphone positioned more suitably to suit the picture being recorded.

Filed: 1975-04-25
Abstract: 1512662 Analogue stores UNITECH PRZEDSIEBIORSTWO TECHNICZNOHANDLOWE 25 April 1975 [6 May 1974] 17144/75 Heading G4G [Also in Division H3] The Specification discloses an analogue store, Fig. 2, including electrochemical integrator devices 8, 8<SP>1</SP> for use in a receiver tuning circuit (see Division H3). The devices can be connected in series with a tuning voltage storage capacitor 7 by a switch 9 so that one of the devices stores the charged state of the other device when the capacitor 7 is charged from a charging circuit (6, Fig. 1, not shown) to a voltage representing a received station corresponding to a stored state of the other device. The charging circuit (6) is stopped by a step detector (10) which detects when metal from the storage electrode of the other device has been transferred to its output electrode. Closing a switch 13 allows only one device to switch on so that a stored tuning selection can be cancelled. A sored state is then provided in one of the devices by reversing the switch 9 and charging the capacitor 7 by circuit (6) until a new station is selected. Pairs of these devices can be connected to store sequential stations which a signal reading receiver stops on (Fig. 3, not shown).

Title: Testing device of an earth leakage circuit breaker
IPC: H01H83/04
Filed: 1977-04-25
Abstract: The test device is used for testing the residual-current device, which has a magnetic trip device installed in a housing (19); it has a test button (18) which projects through the end surface of the housing (19) and by means of which a circuit for producing a simulated fault current is closed. This circuit has allocated to it stationary contacts (15) which are fitted on an insulating panel (14) which is mounted above the magnet yoke laminate (12) of the magnetic trip device, while in contrast a contact link (17) for bridging the stationary contact (15) is connected to the test button (18). Depressing the test button (18) presses the contact link (17) against the stationary contacts (15), as a result of which the circuit is closed and a fault current is simulated. If the residual-current device is serviceable, the residual-current circuit breaker trips. The arrangement of the stationary contacts above the magnet yoke laminate leads to a simplification and reduction in size of the test device. <IMAGE>

Title: Vehicle suspension device
Inventor: MILLY LUCIEN
IPC: B60G17/04
Filed: 1970-04-13
Abstract: 1,245,568. Controlling suspension height. L. MILLY. 13 April, 1970 [2 May, 1969], No. 17405/70 Heading B7D. [Also in Division F2] In a vehicle suspension unit having a gasfilled chamber 1 combined with a liquid- or gasfilled piston-cylinder unit 18, 15, the gas chamber contains a heating element 4 which, in use, is energized to heat the gas whenever the piston moves more than a predetermined distance into the cylinder. The heating expands the gas and causes the piston to return, thus tending to maintain a constant piston extension. The gas chamber is defined by the upper part 9 of a spherical enclosure 9, 10 and is closed by a diaphragm 7. The lower part 10 of the enclosure communicates with the cylinder 15 but is insulated from it. In consequence, the circuit from an external electric power source (Fig. 2, not shown) on the associated vehicle (which source applies a potential difference between the piston-rod 17 and the terminal 6) is by way of 6, 4, 9, 10, 11, 13 and 17, 18, 26, 22, 24. The gap between the contact 24 on the plunger 22 and the plate 13 in the member 11 will be closed when the piston moves sufficiently into the cylinder: this will energize the heater and expand the unit. Details and modifications disclosed in the Specification include the following: (a) The upper end connection includes resilient and electrically insulating discs 31. The upper end plug 5 is also required to be electrically insulating and removable, for use in a filling technique, which is described in the Specification, (b) The gas chamber has thermally insulating linings 3, 3<SP>1</SP>. These may be white or metalized to reflect heat and the chamber contain a dispersed, preferably black, heat-absorbing powder. Suitable materials for the linings are specified. (c) The heater coil 4 shown may be replaced by a coated (e.g. printed-circuit) coating which may also serve as the heat reflecting means mentioned in (b) above. The possibility of using semiconductor thermo-electric heaters or arc discharge heating is also mentioned. (d) The unit may be used in combination with other suspension springs. In particular, to make the selflevelling action have the same dependence on gas temperature in the more heavily loaded (rear) wheels than the other (front) wheels of a vehicle, the units at the heavily loaded end may be combined with supplementary springs of the requisite stiffness to offset the extra load.
