Title: Improvements in and connected with the manufacture of multicore electric cables
IPC: H01B13/02
Filed: 1927-05-25
Abstract: 286,929. British Insulated Cables, Ltd., Atherton, W., and Warde, EMay 25, 1927. Machines for making. -To obviate the ruckling of spirally wound paper insulation on shaped conductors which are twisted together to form a circular multi-core electric cable, the shaped conductors are layed up spirally into the positions which they are to assume in the final cable so as to give them a permanent twist. The conductors are then separately wound on drums and. the layers of paper insulation, which take the shaped section of the conductor and also its twist, are applied. The insulated conductors are then twisted up to form a cable in a machine of the sun and planet type. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus for the initial twisting of the conductors which are fed from drums 4 to flier frames 1 and guide rollers mounted in carrier boxes 5 which are longitudinally adjustable. Each conductor is drawn forward by a capstan 7 round which the twisted conductor is passed several times, and from which it passes to a drum (not shown). Rollers 10 centre the conductor on the capstan. The guide rollers comprise two pulleys grooved to provide a contour of the same section as the conductor. After the paper insulation has been applied, the conductors pass to the laying-up machine shown in Fig. 7. Cradles 20 are carried in wheel frames 22 which revolve on roller supports 23 and extend to an eccentric ring frame 25. Links 28, cranked to the frame 25, connect it to a back wheel frame 22. As the frames 22 revolve, the cradles 20 will not revolve about their own axes and will lay the insulated conductors 0 round one another spirally at the revolving head 30 which is carried on the main shaft. The conductors pass through apertures in the head 30 to an assembly die 32, which is carried from the head by rods 37. In laying up the conductors, the parts of the conductors between the drums 4 and the head 30 are kept slack, and the distance between the head 30 and the die 32 may be as long as 18 inches, since theinsulated conductors have previously been given the required set.

Title: Method for heat exchanger leak detection in a liquid cooled nuclear reactor
IPC: G21C17/00
Filed: 1977-04-05
Abstract: 1518476 Leak detection WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC CORP 5 April 1977 [5 April 1976] 14321/77 Heading G1S In a nuclear reactor having a liquid metal-towater tube type heat exchanger 12 leaks are detected by adding helium to the water and analysing the liquid metal to determine any increase in its helium content. As shown the helium is added at 36 and the liquid metal, typically sodium or sodium-potassium combination, is sampled at 28 and passed to flash tank 30 where any helium is separated from the liquid metal. The helium is then passed to a helium diffuser 32 which concentrates the gas before passing it to a helium detector 34 such as a mass spectrograph or a gas chromatograph. In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 6 (not shown), the helium is concentrated by a molecular sieve (58) positioned between two orifices (56), (60). Instead of monitoring the helium in the liquid metal directly, the cover gas 26 in the reactor 10 can be sampled for helium.

Title: Apparatus for supplying cigarettes to a packeting machine
IPC: B65B19/04
Filed: 1975-04-08
Abstract: 1487140 Endless conveyers; filling hoppers G D SpA 8 April 1975 [8 April 1974] 14325/75 Headings B8S and B8A Containers CP of cigarettes on a conveyer DT are inverted over a hopper T and conveyed by a belt NT to a packaging machine (not shown). As each container on the conveyer DT reaches a position in which it lies between pusher members 31, 32, of an endless chain reciprocating conveyer CT, it operates a switch (M1) (Fig. 4, not shown) which stops the conveyer DT and starts the conveyer CT. The container between the members 31, 32, is thus conveyed into position in a rotatable head TG. A switch M2 is thereby operated to de-energize the conveyer CT. The head TG is adapted to hold two containers CP side-by-side, but each is held in inverted relation to the other. When a photoelectric beam (r) in the hopper T ceases to be obturated due to the cigarette level falling, a motor (MTG) is energized to cause the head TG to be rotated through 180 degrees. The mouth of each side-by-side compartment of the head TG is closed by a respective angle bar 16 under the action of springs 20, 21. During the rotation of the head TG, the bar 16 is additionally held in its closed position by the engagement of a roller 18 with a fixed arcuate guide rail 19. At the end of the rotation, an arm 17 rigid with arms carrying the angle bar 16, is engaged by an oscillating arm 22 to cause opening of the bar 16 and discharge of the cigarettes. During the latter action, the previously emptied container is returned to the conveyer DT, and is replaced by the next successive full container.

Title: Improvements relating to the reinforcement of asbestos-cement or like sheets
IPC: B28B23/00
Filed: 1945-06-08
Abstract: 593,624. Roller casting-machines. TURNERS ASBESTOS CEMENT CO., Ltd., and ROOKSBY, W. H. June 8, 1945, No. 14588. [Class 87 (ii)] [Also in Group VIII] Apparatus for making reinforced asbestos cement or like sheets by coating a rotary cylinder 4, Fig. 2, and then making a cut through the coating along a parting-off groove 6 has means for feeding predetermined lengths of flexible reinforcing wires to the cylinder and means actuated when the parting-off groove reaches a predetermined angular position for controlling the feeding of the wires so that they will not lie over the groove. Asbestos cement slurry passes along an endless felt band 1, and through the nip between the cylinder 4 and a pressure roller 5 where it is transferred to the cylinder 4. Reinforcing wires of the desired length are placed in tubes 10 and driven through these tubes and through tubes 16 by rollers 23, 24.. Each roller 23 is supported in a pivotally mounted bearing so that when a reinforcing wire is. prevented from passing through a tube the roller 23 rocks away slightly from the roller 24 and the rollers do not drive but slide over the wire. An apertured carrier 43, Fig. 1, prevents the passage of the wires through the tubes except when the barrier is moved longitudinally to bring the holes in the barrier opposite nozzles 19 at the ends of the tubes 16. Horizontal movement to the right, as seen in Fig. 2, of a bar 50 causes, through a pin and slot connection, longitudinal movement of the barrier 43. The bar 50 is moved by depressing a cranked part 66 of the bar to engage a pin 69 on a disc 70 adjustably secured to the shaft 71 of the cylinder 4. In operation, to feed the wires to the cylinder the operator selects the coating which it is desired to reinforce, and depresses the part 66 by a handle 67 so that the pin 69 engages the part 66 to move the barrier 43 and bring its holes opposite the nozzles 19 at such a moment that the wires wrap themselves around the cylinder without passing over the parting-off groove 6. The bar 50 is moved to the left by the operator when the wires have left the nozzles 19 and a counterweight 68 moves the part 66 out of the path of the pin 69. The position of the pin 69 and the height of the cranked part 66 are adjusted for various sizes of cylinders and the shaft 71 is adjustable vertically. In a modification, Fig. 9, the barrier 43 may be moved by an electrical arrangement comprising a switch contact 80 in a circuit containing a manually operated switch and the operating coil of a solenoid 83, the armature of which is connected to the barrier 43. In a further modification, the wires are placed in troughs having pivoted bottoms which are operated by a solenoid device to allow the wires to drop onto the conveyer band. According to the Provisional Specification a switch may be provided which is actuated by the wires to stop the feed when the wires arrive at their rest positions.

Title: Method of producing conducting circuits
IPC: H01J29/08
Filed: 1947-06-03
Abstract: 637,525. Printed circuits. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. June 3, 1947, No. 14607. Convention date, June 8, 1946. [Class 36] [Also in Group XXXVII] Electrical circuits are made by depositing a thin layer of conducting material on the surface of an insulating body, applying a light-sensitive layer thereon, impressing an image of the desired circuit on to the sensitive layer, removing those parts of the sensitive layer which are not covered by the image, removing the thus exposed conductive portions by abrasion and finally removing the remaining parts of the light-sensitive layer, leaving the desired conductive pattern on the insulating block. A resist coating such as asphalt paint may be applied to the conductive surface prior to the application of the sensitive layer. This resist acts as a cushion during the abrading action and later facilitates the removal of these areas of the light-sensitive layer which overlie the electric conductor pattern. The surface of an insulating block 13, Fig. 4, is covered with a thin conductive layer 15 over which is applied a resist layer 16 and a light-sensitive layer 17. This material may be either of the type that softens on exposure to light, or of the type that hardens on exposure to light. A photographically positive or negative image of the circuit is then laid over the sensitive layer, according to whether it is of the former or the latter type and an exposure made. The soft portions 18 are then removed by washing, leaving the hard portions 19 in position (Fig. 5). The surface is then subjected to an abrasive blast which removes the unprotected portions of the resist and metal layers 16, 15, Fig. 6. The remaining portions of the light-sensitive layer 17 (hard portions) and resist 16 are then removed by a suitable solvent which does not affect the conductive pattern, and leaves it in the desired position 10 on the block 13, Fig. 7. The surface 11 of the block may finally be treated to remove any irregularities thereon. Terminals may be provided which extend through the block 13 and contact at desired points with the circuit pattern. Specification 573,771, [Group XX], is referred to.
