Title: Improvements in or relating to the conversion of metal oxides to chlorides
Inventor: GIBSON ALLAN ROBERT
IPC: C01F3/00
Filed: 1956-07-03
Abstract: 856,462. Thorium and beryllium chlorides, prepared electrolytically. UNITED KINGDOM ATOMIC ENERGY AUTHORITY. June 27, 1957 [July 3, 1956], No. 20527/56. Class 41 A method of converting thorium or beryllium oxide into the chloride of the metal is characterised in that a suspension of the oxide of the metal in a molten alkali metal chloride or a molten alkaline earth metal chloride, is subjected to electrolysis in an electrolytic cell having a carbon anode and a carbon cathode, and chlorine gas is so injected into the electrolyte as to cause it to flow over the surface of the cathode, whereby the metal oxide is converted to the chloride at the anode and any metal deposit formed on the cathode is converted to the chloride by the injected chlorine gas. The electrolytec may comprise a eutectic mixture of alkali metal chlorides or alkalic earth metal chlorides. The metal oxide may be added to the molten electrolyte in powder form. The cathode may consist of a graphic tube down which chlorine gas is passed. When the melt becomes free of suspended metal oxide and soluble oxychloride, the flow of chlorine to the cathode may be discontinued and, upon continuing the electrolysis, metal is deposited upon the cathode. For this latter stage of the process the graphite cathode may be replaced by a cathode of the metal to be produced or of a non-alloying metal. Electrolysis may be carried out in a vessel of silica or alumina or other inert substance. Examples describe the electrolysis of eutectic mixtures of sodium chloride and potassium chloride containing (a) thorium chloride and thoria whereby the thoria is converted to thorium' chloride; and (b) beryllium oxide whereby the latter is converted to beryllium chloride. Specification 843,261 is referred to.

Title: Selective ejector mechanism for drop-down guns
IPC: F41A15/06
Filed: 1943-12-10
Abstract: 590,640. Sporting guns. RAMSEY, A. R. J. (Harrington & Richardson Arms Co.). Dec. 10, 1943, No. 20715. [Class 119] Ejector mechanism for drop-down guns comprises a firing mechanism and a cocking rod 74 on a frame 14, the rod being moved by the firing mechanism during the latter's movement to the firing position, means on the rod for moving ejector latching means 90, Fig. 6, to an operative position during such movement, spring means 100, 102 for pressing on the ejector 104 and means on the frame for releasing the latch when the barrel is moved on the frame about the pivot 24. Such movement of the barrel serves also to reposition the cocking rod and also to compress the spring 102 prior to the release of the latch 90. The gun shown has two barrels and associated with each barrel is a firing pin 36 which is held retracted against the pressure of a spring 46 by a sear 50 pivoted at 52. When a trigger 60<1> for one barrel is pulled, it pivots about a pin 62 and lifts the front end of the sear, thereby releasing-the corresponding firing pin which then flies forwards carrying with it the upper end of a pivoted link 64 which engages in a slot of a part 48 of the pin. The link imparts the forward movement to the rod 74 whose cam surface 86, Fig. 9, engages with and lifts latch 90 about its pivot 88 and brings a shoulder 98 of the latch into the path of the sear. If now the barrels are pivoted about the pivot 24, and considering only the mechanism of the barrel from which a shot has been fired, a surface 108 will move a plunger 100 to compress the spring 102, but the spring will not actuate the extractor until the latch, which is frictionally held in its operative position, is released. This release takes place when a side lug 92 on the latch engages with a flange 82, Fig. 9, and the compressed spring is now suddenly released to effect extraction. The pivoting of the barrel also causes a cam 77, Fig. 1, to engage with and move the rod 74 to cock the firing pin. The latch of the other barrel has not been moved with the result that the pressure on plunger 100 is communicated gradually by the spring 102 to the extractor and no sudden extracting action takes place. A top lever 110, Fig. 1, when turned on a spindle 112, Fig. 9, withdraws a locking bolt 114 to allow the barrel to pivot about the frame, such turning movement of the spindle serving, by means of a cam, to operate a member 116 which acts on lever 64 and thereby serves to withdraw the point of the firing pin from the fired cartridge. A spring 125 acts through a crank on the spindle 112 and causes the bolt 114 to snap home when the barrel is in its firing position.

Title: Flexible tubing
IPC: F16L11/112
Filed: 1952-08-19
Abstract: 709,055. Flexible tubes. MEISSNER, W. E. Aug. 19, 1952, No. 20794/-52. Class 99 (2). A helical reinforcing strand 36, e.g. of stainless steel wire or strip, having widely spaced coils is disposed between layers 32, 34 of thermoplastic material, natural or synthetic rubber or fabric treated with a thermoplastic material, the layers being bonded together between the coils of the strand 36. There is a stress in the wall of the tube normally biasing the wall between the coils of the strand into an arch shape when the tube is deformed, and the direction of flexure of the wall arches the wall in a predetermined direction, Fig. 9. The inner layer 32 may be helically wound over a helical convex cross-sectioned band B' on a mandrel M, the edges 40 of the layer abutting midway between the coils of the spring 36, and the layer 34 helically wound over the layer 32 has abutting edges 42 coinciding with successive coils of the spring, Fig. 7. An initial compression is applied to the spring 36 so that when the tubing is removed from the mandrel the spring extends and tautens the wall of the tubing. In a modification, there are two helical springs 14, the distance between adjacent coils of the springs being smaller than the pitch of the coils of each spring, and the overlapping sealed edges 24 of the inner layer 12 coincide with the tops of alternate turns of a helix B<SP>1</SP>, while the sealed edges 26 of the layer 16 overlap at successive turns of one of the springs 14. The adjacent turns of the helix B<SP>1</SP> are spaced apart to accommodate adjacent coils of the springs 14 between which coils and over the layer 16 is applied a helical band, of rectangular crosssection, during bonding of the layers. In this embodiment, when the tubing is bent, the wall 20 between adjacent coils of the springs arches inwardly, Fig. 6.
