Title: Contact lens storage case
Inventor: KANG DONG-WON
IPC: A45C11/00
Filed: 2008-04-02
Abstract: Disclosed is a contact lens storage case, in whicha contact lens is automatically immersed in preserving solution when a cap is closed and is automatically exposed out of the preserving solution when a cap is opened, so that it is possible to store the contact lens without damage and so that a user can easily hold the contact lens with his/her fingers upon applying the contact lens. The contact lens storage case includes: a storage container shaped like a cylinder, formed on both sides of a body, and filled with preserving solution so as to store contact lenses or soft lenses; a slider moving up and down while being assembled with an inner side of the storage container and holding a lens on an upper surface of the slider; an elastic means for providing elastic force to move the slider in an up direction, the elastic means being formed on a lower surface of the slider; a cap covering the storage container; and a pressing means for pressing the slider and preventing separation of the lens, the pressing means being assembled with an inner side of the cap.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of diphenylhalophosphines and nuclear substitution derivatives thereof
Inventor: BROWN MICHAEL PETER
IPC: C07F9/52
Filed: 1961-03-20
Abstract: A diphenylhalophosphine or nuclear substituted derivative thereof is obtained by heating a phenyldihalophosphine or a nuclear substitution derivative thereof in an inert atmosphere with only a catalytic amount of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst to a temperature at which phosphorus trihalide is evolved and removing the latter from the reaction zone.  The phenyl group may be substituted by at least one tertiary amino group, halogen atom, or alkyl group containing up to 5 carbon atoms.  The reaction is preferably carried out by heating the dihalophosphine to its boiling point, e.g. 220 DEG C. or higher, under a reflux condenser which is maintained at such a temperature that the phosphorus trichloride evolved leaves the reaction zone while higher boiling vapours are condensed and returned to the reaction zone.  Water and oxygen should be excluded from the reaction zone, e.g. by working under an atmosphere of dry nitrogen.  The phenyl dihalophosphine is preferably phenyl dichloro-phosphine but the corresponding bromo and iodo compounds are also specified. Specified Friedel-Crafts catalysts are aluminium chloride, boron halides and titanium halides, especially titanium tetrachloride  The diphenyl and di(substituted-phenyl) chlorophosphines are useful as intermediates in the production of polymeric phosphinoborines, e.g. the trimer [(C6H5)2PBH2]3.

Abstract: 1,248,316. Surge diverters. ALLMANNA SVENSKA ELEKTRISKA A.B. 27 Feb., 1969 [28 Feb., 1968], No. 10459/69. Heading H2H. Over-voltage protection device comprises a chain of series-connected spark gaps arranged in parallel with two impedance chains such that, when one of the gaps is triggered, all the gaps will break down in succession provided that the total voltage across the device is more than half the normal sparkover voltage of the gaps. As shown in the Figure, the gaps G are connected in parallel with a first impedance chain comprising resistors R1, R3 and capacitors C1, and with a second chain formed by resistors R2 and capacitors C2. By using double-size capacitors and half size resistors at the ends of the first chain, the voltages across each of the gaps are made equal. In operation, a trigger signal from a source B is applied to the lowest gap so that it breaks down. As a result, all the voltage on the lowest capacitor C2 is now placed across the next gap which will thus break down if the overall voltage is high enough. Similarly, the third gap will break down next when all the voltage on the first capacitor C1 is placed across it, and eventually the whole device sparks over. A larger device may comprise several parallel legs each of which is triggered from a leg which has already sparked over.

Abstract: 141,736. Massardier, A. April 15, 1919, [Convention date]. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Wrenches.-An adjustable box spanner is mounted in the tubular handle of a sliding-jaw screw-operated wrench. A metal tube G, of hexagonal shape internally and externally, has, fitting within its corners, the flattened coned ends of six angular sheet-metal members C, bent on entering as shown at H, so that they form at C<1> a hexagon corresponding to the exterior of the tube G. Six pieces J, Fig. 3, are riveted by heads K to the tube G, and have extensions engaging semi-circular lateral grooves I in adjacent edges of the members C, whereby they are held to the tube G but are capable of pivotal movement about the extensions. The protruding ends of the members C are folded back to the depth of the largest nut size to form reinforced gripping parts E, and are flattened to the shape shown at P, rivets X fixing them to six levers D supported by a band V mounted in central grooves. Engaging the ends D' of the levers D is a cone S, mounted on the end of a spindle T screwed at R to engage a nut M fixed by screws' N to the tube G. A cylindrical extension 0 of the nut M, has a groove engaging pins Q, in a fixed jaw A, in which is guided an extension of the screw R terminating in an adjustable jaw B. An hexagonal tube F slides over the parts C<1> and G. In the position shown in Fig. 1, rotation of the tube F causes rotation of the tube G and the nut M, the adjustable jaw B approaches or recedes from the fixed jaw A, according to the direction of rotation, and the gripping parts E are forced together by the cone S, or returned by the spring nature of the members C. When the wrench is adjusted for use, the tube F is pushed towards the jaw A, preventing relative rotation of the parts O and A, and making the wrench rigid. The tube F may be moved in the opposite direction to increase the leverage of the sliding-jaw wrench.

Patent GB-108008-A (GB)
IPC: F16L51/02
Abstract: 108,008. Ray, F. July 15, 1916. Expansion joints.- In an expansion joint for steam or other pipes, the flexible expansion member A, Fig. 1, having connexion with the sections of piping is formed of a number of preferably corrugated disks 21 of elastic metal welded together alternately at their inner and outer edges so as to be entirely homogeneous. In the construction shown, one pipe section is connected to the flange 3 of a casing 1 having a cap 9 to which is attached a threaded collar 16, and the other pipe section is connected to a flange 23 attached to a tube 15 having a sliding fit in the collar 16. One end 20 of the expansion memher A is welded to the inner end of the tube 15, and the other end of the expansion member is welded to the collar 16. Expansion of the member A beyond its elastic limits is prevented in one direction by the abutment of the flange 23 against the collar 16, and in the other direction by the nesting together of the disks 21 forming the expansion member. Means are provided for installing the joint between the pipe sections with the expansion member in an originally stressed condition, so that, in attaining its working temperature, the expansion member passes through an intermediate or non-stressed condition to its final stressed condition. Thus, in a heat-conveying system, the expansion member is installed in a compressed condition, and in a cold-conveying system in an extended condition. An arrangement is shown in Fig. 1 for effecting an original compression of the member A and comprises bolts 28 having seatings in recesses 14 on the cap 9 and. engaging threaded bores in the flange 23. The member A having been compressed by rotating the bolts 29 and tighting up the nuts 29, the joint is connected between the pipe sections, and then the bolts 28 are removed. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement in which the bolts 28 are used for drawing the flange 23 inwards so as to effect an original extension of the expansion member A.
