Abstract: 753,224. Turbine and compressor blades. ROLLS-ROYCE, Ltd. March 30, 1954 [April 13, 1953], No. 10085/53. Class 110(3) [Also in Group XXII] A hollow blade for use in a turbine or compressor has a fluid-delivery duct extending through the cavity or bore of the blade substantially from end to end thereof with clearance from the wall of the cavity, the duct having an inlet thereto at least at one end of the blade and having an outlet to within the blade cavity, there being also outlets from the cavity. In Figs. 1, 2 and 4 the gas turbine inlet nozzle guide vanes comprise a sheet metal shell 18 mounted at its inner and outer ends in platforms 25, 26 and having two tubular ducts 19, 20 within its cavity. The ducts 19, 20 are closed at their inner ends but are formed with slots 24 at their edges adjacent the leading edges of the guide vanes. The ends of the vanes are flanged at 21 to engage the ducts, and the ducts are formed with blislers 23 which engage the wall of the cavity. Each inner platform 25 is flanged at 27 to receive the guide vane and is formed with a dog 28 which engages between castellations 29 of the ring 30 forming parts of the inner stator structure. The platform 25 is also formed with a hooked projection 31 which engages an axial projection 32 on the stator ring 30. The outer platform 26 is formed with dogs 37, 40 which engage in notches 38, 41 in the outer stator casing 12. The trailing edge of the guide vane is formed with outlets 22. Cooling air flows into the two ducts and out of the leading edges thereof and finally discharges through the outlets 22 into the working fluid stream. In. Fig. 8, a single tubular duct 50 is provided in the nozzle guide vane, the duct being flattened at 51 to form a pair of passages 53 having outlets 52 from which cooling air discharges as in the first embodiment. The inner end of the guide vane is mounted in an annular structure formed by parts 54, 55 and the outer end is mounted in an annular member 61. Cooling air is supplied to the annular spaces at the inner and outer ends of the vanes.

Abstract: 678,840. Packing mattresses. RHODES, Ltd., W. April 25, 1951 [April 25, 1950], No. 10112/50. Class 94(i). A method of packing the components of a plurality of mattresses, each comprising angle iron side and end rails, consists in providing a pair of container-end members each having a number of peripheral slots of sufficient width and depth to receive the end of one web of a mattress angle iron, and releasably attaching a plurality of said angle irons to said end members by fitting opposite ends of one set of their webs into the slots thereof so as to form a container or cage within which the remaining components may be packed. As shown, each member 2 is made of strips of wood 3 nailed together in criss-cross fashion to prevent warping and formed with slots 10 for the reception of the webs 11 of pairs of angle iron side rails 12. The other webs 13 of the rails are formed with holes at their ends so that they may be nailed to the end members. The corners of the end members are connected by further side rails 5, 6, 7 and 8 nailed thereto. The package may be completed by an outer covering secured by metal bands (see Fig. 1) (not shown).

Abstract: 806,112. Cathode constructions and materials. THORN ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. March, 30 1955, [April 9, 1954], No. 10566/54. Drawings to Specification. Class 39(1). A coreless, coiled-coil cathode for an electric discharge device, especially a fluorescent discharge lamp, comprises a plurality of wires alongside one another formed into a coreless helix which is itself coiled into a helix, and coated with electron-emitting material. The primary helix contains no core of wire and is not overwound by any other wire. In one example two wires of tungsten 0À075 mm. diameter are wound parallel to and in contact with each other or twisted together, upon a mandrel of molybdenum 0À25 mm. diameter. The primary helix so formed and while still upon the mandrel is wound upon a mandrel 1À19 mm. diameter to form a secondary helix. After removal from the second mandrel the coiled-coil is set by sintering at a temperature of about 1500‹C. and the molybdenum mandrel is then dissolved away by nitric acid with or without sulphuric acid. The coiled-coil is then coated with an electron-emissive material, such as a mixture of barium, strontium and calcium carbonates in proportions of about 55 : 45 : 10 by weight, by dipping into a suspension of the powdered materials in a suspending medium. The space within the primary helix is filled as far as possible with the materials but not the space within the secondary helix. Specification 792,365 is referred to.
