IPC: F16L25/00
Filed: 1969-07-25
Abstract: 1,235,580. Corrugated pipes; pipe joints. ARMCO STEEL CORP. 25 July, 1969 [1 Aug., 1968], No. 37459/69. Headings F2G and F2P. Helically corrugated pipes 10, 12 formed of spirally wound butt-welded strip have, at each end, at least one annular corrugation 14, whose maximum outside diameter is substantially identical with that of the helical corrugations. They are butt-joined together by a coupling band 16 which is tensioned by, e.g., bolts 28 or U-bolt 30 passing through bar members 26 in loops 24a, 24b. The loops 24a, 24b are spaced far enough apart for the ends of the band 16 to overlap when it is tensioned, and formed close to its surface, so that it is all in tension. The band surface may be smooth (Fig. 4, not shown) with a seal being made where it presses against the peaks of the annular corrugations 14, or the band 16a (Fig. 6) may have corrugations 18 or rows of indentations (22, Figs. 7, 8, not shown) which engage and partly fill the valleys of corrugations 14 to prevent longitudinal separation of the pipes yet allow slight pivoting of the pipes about the coupling to conform with the contours of the land on which they are laid. Sealing rings 20, preferably soft rubber 0-rings, may occupy some of the annular corrugations 14.

Title: Foundry mold disassembling apparatus
IPC: B22D33/04
Filed: 1958-11-21
Abstract: 850,710. Foundry-plant. COMBUSTION ENGINEERING Inc. Nov. 21, 1958 [April 28,1958; June 16, 1958], No. 37494/58. Class 83 (1). Apparatus for disassembling moulds, comprises an elevator which first raises the cope and then the drag, and means for removing them with the casting from the elevator. The apparatus has two pouring-tracks 428, 430, Fig. 1, respectively carrying centrally-poured mouldassemblies " A " containing cores 15A, Fig. 2, for producing four elbow pipes 10A, Fig. 4, and offset-poured mould assemblies " B " containing cores 15B, Fig. 5, for producing four Y-pipes 10B, Fig. 1. The mould halves are located by pins 17 and supported by bars 28. The assembled moulds weigh about 2000 lb. each. Alternate " A " and " B " drags with the impression downwards are delivered at a station I to the upper of two arms on a head 60 of an indexable turret 30. At the station II, alternate core-boxes with cores made in machines 186A, 186B, are delivered singly to the lower arm of a head 60. As the turret is advanced to station III, the arms on a head are moved together, and the drag and core-box turned over. The core-box is then raised and discharged at station III to a gravity-track which carries it back to be used again at Station II. At Station IV, a cope is delivered to the upper arm. The arms are then moved together and the completed mould is removed at Station V. The moulds " A " are delivered to a pouring and cooling track 428, and moulds " B " to the track 430. While passing along the portions " Z " of the tracks, clamping-means are applied to hold the mould-halves together, the moulds being spaced from one another by bumpers 466, Figs. 2 and 5. Poured moulds are taken alternately from the ends of the tracks by an hydraulically-operated truck 468, and are moved into an elevator 470 by an hydraulic ram 480, Fig. 13A. The drag initially rests on rollers 510. As the elevator carriage 482 is raised, it takes with it the cope and, when rollers 514 on the carriage 482 engage the drag, the drag rises with the cope but at some distance below it. The drag is withdrawn from the carriage on to a turn-over head 472 by a pneumatic ram bearing a catch which engages the underside of the drag. The head 472 is then swung by further hydraulic means; and rotated by a single-vane hydraulic motor so that the castings fall out on to the hood 472<1>, Fig. 24, of the head. A pusher-head is then advanced to push the drag on to a knock-out grid 492 and along a track 356, and to push the castings into a shoot 533, Fig. 24, leading to a shake-out 494. The castings are removed thence by a conveyer 502 to be cleaned. The cope is withdrawn from the elevator by a latch on a ram 536, and pushes the previous cope on to a shake-out 490, whence it passes to a return-track 415. All the operations are automatically-controlled by switches actuated by the mould parts, or the movement of the parts of the apparatus. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 704,815.

Title: Stabilization of fibres and articles incorporating such fibres
Inventor: GAY RONALD STANSFIELD
IPC: B29D30/40
Filed: 1960-11-15
Abstract: Fibres, cords or "weftless cord fabrics", i.e. cords tied together by light weft threads, of organic thermoplastic polymer material are stabilized against subsequent stretching and shrinking by passing them continuously through a bed of fluidized solid, raising the temperature of the bed to within 55 DEG C. of the melting point of the polymer during passage of the fibre, cord or fabric through the bed, and simultaneously stretching the fibre, cord or fabric longitudinally by an amount not exceeding 20% of its original length, or allowing the fibre, cord or fabric to relax by an amount not more than its free shrinkage at the treatment temperature.  The fluidized bed may be a heated vessel containing, e.g. sand, aluminium or glass spheres, or shot-blasting materials through which a current of gas, e.g. air or nitrogen is passed.  The bed may be heated by coils immersed therein, or by heating fluids in an enclosing heating jacket.  The residence time of the fibre, cord or fabric in the bed is usually less than 8 seconds.  In general, the stabilized fibres have an extensibility under a 2.45g/den. load of not more than 8.5%, a free shrinkage at 150 DEG C. of less than 3%, and a force required to maintain the length of the fibre at 150 DEG C. of less than 0.3g/den. The Specification describes the treatment of a 2 ply 840 denier nylon cord having a filament twist of 12 turns per inch and doubled against the twist with a ply twist of 12 turns per inch and a resultant cord denier of 1850.  The cord is passed for 1.4 seconds through a fluidized solid bed at 240 DEG C., simultaneously stretching by 11%.  Weftless fabric made from the above cords are passed through a fluidized bed at 230 DEG C. for 4 seconds while stretching by 8-11%.  Cords of polyvinyl alcohol and of polyethylene terephthalate are also treated.  The stabilized fibres, cords and fabrics are used in reinforcing pneumatic tyres (Division B7).
