Title: Improvements in or relating to buoys
Inventor: BROOKER WILLIAM GEORGE
IPC: B63B22/18
Filed: 1958-02-06
Abstract: 858,461. Buoys. GAS ACCUMULATOR CO. (UNITED KINGDOM) Ltd. Dec. 30, 1958 [Feb. 6, 1958], No. 3903/58. Class 68(1). A buoy comprises a rigid structure which carries the mooring-ring, or the visual, audible or radio signal means, the structure being secured to a number of float units and the whole being ballasted as required. The float units may be of plastic, preferably reinforced with glass fibres, and may be filled with foamed plastic, or may consist of foamed plastic with a water - excluding coating. They may be made of rubber which is sufficiently rigid, or is reinforced to impart rigidity, or they may be made of non-errodible metal, e.g., stainless steel. They may be made as tubes, of segmental section if they are to be accommodated around a circular rigid structure, plastic end closures of the tubes being attached by adhesives. In Fig. I, the cylindrical rigid structure 1 is surrounded by segmental-sectioned floats 2 which are accommodated between top and bottom structures 3, 4 consisting of radial arms 3<SP>c</SP>, 3<SP>d</SP>, 4<SP>c</SP>. The arms 3<SP>c</SP>, 3<SP>d</SP> extend from a ring 3<SP>a</SP> which abuts against a collar 1<SP>a</SP> on the structure 1 to transmit the buoyancy of the floats to the structure 1 and ballast and equipment carried thereby. The bottom arms 4<SP>c</SP>, of triangulated form, are secured to a ring 4<SP>a</SP> encircling the structure I and to an outer ring 4<SP>b</SP> built up of peripheral sections bolted together. The arms 4<SP>c</SP> are secured by bolts 5, 7<SP>a</SP> to the upper structure 3, the bolts 7<SP>a</SP> serving also to secure to the open bottom of the cylinder 1 a closure 7 which serves as a keel and is recessed at 1<SP>c</SP> to position gas cylinders placed within the cylinder 1. Mooring eyes are provided on the bottom structure 4 and a fender 11 encircles the top of the floats 2. A cover 1<SP>d</SP> closes the cylinder 1, and the signal means 9, 10 is supported from the arms 3d by struts 8. Lifting-eyes 3f are provided on the arms 3d. In a modification, the structure 1 is of hexagonal section and is partitioned to present triangular chambers for the reception of gas cylinders or batteries. A keel is carried at a low position on rods extending downwardly from the structure 1, this keel arrangement permitting the signal means to be higher than in the previous arrangement. In a further modification, the structure 1 is of elongated rectangular section, the floats being arranged along the long side of the rectangle. The floats may be arranged in superposed rows.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric attenuators
Inventor: FELDHUSEN IGOR VLADIMIR
IPC: H03H7/24
Filed: 1958-02-11
Abstract: 834,618. Attenuators. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Feb. 11, 1958, No. 4387/58. Class 40 (8). In an adjustable electric attenuator device, each attenuating network is carried on a push-button switch unit which carries contact members which directly engage the contact members of the adjacent unit or units. Inside a shallow metal screening box 1, which has a lid 2, are arranged side-by-side ten switches comprising sliding switch units 3 controlled by push-buttons 4 and rods 5; each button controls a unit of 10 decibels and only one button may remain depressed. Each unit 3 comprises a rectangular strip 6 of insulating material which is pinned to rod 5 and spaced from a wall of the box 1 by metal strips 7 and 8, and supports a network formed of series resistors 9 and 11, which are connected to contacts 15 and 16 respectively, and shunt resistor 10, which is connected to strip 8. A spring 12 bears on strip 6 and ensures good contact between the strips 7 and 8 and the box 1 and, an L-shaped contact strip 13 having a spring contact 14 on its left-hand end, which engages the adjacent strip, is fixed to each strip 6. The 40 decibel button is shown depressed so that the four right-hand side units are connected in series between terminals 23, 28 via contacts 30 and 32 as shown. The resistors may be in the form of an L-type network and the dielectric strip adjacent thereto may be cut away in the region of the electric field of the network (Fig. 4, not shown). When no button is depressed the L-shaped contacts form a busbar connection between conductor 22 and the screen adjacent terminal 28 and an additional contact (Fig. 3, not shown), ensures that on depression of a button the free end of said bus-bar is also connected to the screen. Specifications 644,066, 675,210, 795,415 and 834,619 are referred to.

A fireguard anchorage comprises an adjustably extensible rigid strut adapted to bridge the fireplace opening, provided at each end with a foot or bracket having means for positively engaging the surround of the grate and means for the tonnection of a stay to which. a guard retaining hook can be attached. An anchorage comprises a rod 17, screw threaded at one end 18, telescoping into a metal tube 16. A sleeve 19, threaded internally at one end engages the threaded end 18 of the rod 17, an enlarged head of the sleeve engaging the end of the tube 16. The tube 16 and rod 17 carry L-shaped brackets 20, the short limb of which is provided with teeth 39, Fig. 9, to dig into the cement between the surround .12 and fire cheeks 11. Stays 22 carrying a hook and spring attachment 24 are connected to the brackets 20. The anchorage is placed in position and sleeve nut 19 adjusted to urge the brackets 20 against the sides of the surround. A spring may be provided between a closed end of the tube and the rod, any suitable means being provided to prevent disassembly, or two rods connected by a turn buckle may replace the rod and tube arrangement. In another modification, two rigid members, one of which is extensible, are connected by a rule or equivalent joint. The brackets may be hinged to the ends of the members. A telescopically cooperating rod and tube may be secured in an adjusted position by a screw engaging a groove in the rod. The rod 17 may screw into a threaded end of the tube 16, Fig. 6, the bracket 20 being anchored to the rod 17 so as to allow relative rotation. Instead of an L-shaped bracket, one end bracket of the anchorage may be provided with a screw to engage behind the surround.

Abstract: 582,756. Sifting-apparatus. KING, Ltd., G. W., and KING, H. W. M. March 19, 1943, No. 4543. [Class 117] Apparatus for separating swarf from articles, such as screws, after a machining operation, consists of a screen formed of parallel rods 35 ; the alternate rods are connected to form two inter-digitated grids to which relative reciprocating motion is imparted. Simultaneously air currents are directed on to the screen, in a direction against the flow of material, from jets 65, 68 disposed either above or below the screen, and adjustable as to direction in slots in the screen frame. In the construction described one of the grids is stationary, the rods 36 being connected to fixed cross-bracing members 43, 42. The other grid consisting of rods 37 with lugs 49, is supported by rollers 44 on rails 45 and is reciprocated by a connecting rod 60 driven through gearing from a motor 19. The material is fed to the screen from a hopper 15 by a bucket wheel 16, driven from the motor 19 through reduction gearing. Alternatively, the feed shoot may have staggered inclined shelves over which the material falls by gravity, due to reciprocating movement imparted to the shoot. The swarf falls through the screen to a shoot 40, and the screws &c. are delivered at the tail end of the screen to a shoot 12.
