Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4). A chuck key 12, Fig. 4, is made by heating a cylindrical steel blank, upsetting the heated blank between dies 16, 19, Fig. 2, to form an intermediate bulb portion 27, Fig. 3, and pressing the bulb portion whilst still warm into a toothed cavity 32 of a punch 30. The starting blank, Fig. 1 (not shown), of medium carbon steel is heated to 600‹ F. by a gas flame or preferably by a high-frequency induction coil. It is then inserted into a bore 17 of die 16 and the dies 16, 19 are pressed together by toggle or hydraulic means. The blank is then inserted in a bore 28 of die 29, Fig. 3, and the punch 30 moved downwards to force the metal of bulb portion 27 into the cavity 37, thereby forming the bevel toothed portion 33 of the key 12. Simultaneously the end 24 of the blank is elongated. Finally the key 12 is hardened by heat treatment. Specifications 935,548 and 935,550 also are referred to.

Abstract: 1483043 Wheelbarrows R H BRAUNE 1 Aug 1974 [1 May 1973] 20607/73 Addition to 1316094 Heading B7B The handles of a two-wheeled wheelbarrow are rotatable relative to a chassis of the barrow in order to tip the load container about a longitudinal axis and in order to facilitate steering of the barrow. As illustrated, the handles m are connected to a common extension o which is rotatably mounted in a sleeve p and which is biased to a neutral position by a spring w. Rotating the handles from this position facilitates steering of the barrow. During travel, the steering movement of the handles is limited by the engagement of striker cams 10 and 11 on the extension o with pins 10a and 11a on the load container 1. However, when a lock 12-14 is released, further turning of the handles causes one of the striker cams 10, 11 to act on its pin and tip the load container about bearings 2. In another embodiment, Figs. 1-5 (not shown), steering movement of the handles is limited by the engagement with the barrow chassis of a cross-bar which is secured to the common extension. Abutments on the crossbar engage the load container for tipping purposes.

Title: Method Of Detecting the Presence of Radioactive Substances in a Fluid, and Apparatus For Carrying Out This Method
Inventor: CALLIES DOMINIQUE
IPC: G01T1/202
Filed: 1967-05-04
Abstract: 1,150,107. Photo-electric detection of radioactive substances. COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE. May 4, 1967 [May 26, 1966], No.20778/67. Heading G1A. [Also in Division C4] Radio-active substances in suspension or solution in a fluid are detected by passing the fluid through a chamber 10 where a powder scintillator is kept permanently in suspension, and detecting the light emitted by the scintillator on activation by the radio-active substance(s). Apparatus. A sample of fluid flowing along duct B to container C is taken from the duct B by pump 25 and passes along conduit 26 and through bore 28 to a chamber 10 defined by a disc 14, upper and lower plates 2, 4, and a transparent plastics plate 20. The upper plate 2 is clamped against base plate 4 by means of an arrangement of pins 38, yoke 44, threaded projection 48 and internally threaded ring 46. The transparent plate 20 is directly adjacent the window of a photo-multiplier 50. The sampled liquid passes out of the chamber 10, through filter members 30 of fritted glass, mounted in disc 14, which prevent escape of the scintillator powder from the chamber 10. The powder is kept in suspension by rotation of a screw 60, whose vertical position in the chamber is adjustable to a certain extent. The sampled liquid passes out of the apparatus through outlet 34 and pipe 36. Its flow-rate is monitored at 58 and this information transmitted to electronic apparatus 56 which also receives the photo-multiplier channel output from 50 so that an accurate measurement of the radio-activity of the liquid is obtainable. The electronic circuitry can include a scaler and an integrator. Scintillator materials, &c. For detection of the uranium content of water, present as uranyl fluoride, zinc sulphide, activated with silver may be used, having a particle size distribution between 5 and 10 microns. Alternatively, a powdered scintillator glass can be used. The scintillation mechanism involves physical trapping of the uranyl fluoride by the scintillator until the latter is saturated with the fluoride. The scintillator is activated into photon-emission by α-particles emitted by the uranium. Other elements detectable are plutonium (present as the soluble nitrate in water) and strontium. Calibration should take account of the trapping.

In a compressor or turbine, a bearing for the bladed rotor is supported from the outer casing structure through a rigid wheel-like structure, the spokes of which are provided by a ring of hollow stator blades of the machine and the hub and rim of which are formed by joining together the inner ends and outer ends respectively of the stator blades by means of corresponding sets of hollow spacer elements, the rim being secured in position in the stator casing and the bearing being mounted within the hub. The inlet end of a compressor is shown and comprises a shaft 10 on which are mounted discs 11, 12, carrying blades 13, 14, respectively. The stator casing supports inlet guide vanes 18 and first-stage stator blades 19, the blades 19 being formed of sheet-metal and supporting at their inner ends a bearing 20. The outer ends of the hollow stator blades are pinched together at their trailing edges and box-like spacer elements 21 comprising a base 21a and sides 21b, 21c are secured by welding between the ends of adjacent blades. Continuous ring members 22, 25 are secured to the sides 21c of the spacers and separate shroud members 26 disposed between adjacent stator blades 19 at their outer ends are secured as by welding to axially-extending flanges of the ring members 22, 25. The ring member 22 is secured by bolting to the outer stator structure 15. The inner ends of the stator blades are likewise pinched together and secured between spacer elements 27 of box-like form, and continuous ring members 28, 29 are secured to the upstream and downstream flanges respectively of the boxlike spacers. Separate shroud pieces 30 disposed between the inner ends of the stator blades 19 are secured to the ring members 28, 29. A third ring member 31 engages with the ring member 28 and is secured by welding to the ring member 29.

Abstract: 462,885. Supply systems for cathode-ray tubes. HAZELTINE CORPORATION. July 30, 1936, No. 21124. Convention date, Aug. 22, 1935. [Class 38 (iv)] To prevent excessive intensity of the beam in a cathode-ray tube when first switching on by reason of the delayed application of a negative bias to a control electrode, the application of a positive bias to one or more electrodes is delayed for a period at least equal to the delay in the application of the negative bias. The negative control electrode 21 and the positive electrodes 22, 23, are supplied from the transformer 9 through a rectifier 3 and potentiometer 15, the circuit being closed by a time delay device 4 after the secondaries 2<a>, 2<e> have energized the control members 6, 7, 8 and the cathode heater 12<a> on closure of switch 14. Delay in the application of negative bias to the control electrode 21 results from the provision of an isolating resistance 39 and byepass condenser 40 in the supply to the cathode 20, for the purpose of preventing modulation of the beam by power supply reactions. The application of positive bias to the control electrodes 22, 23 is delayed, for at least the same period as the negative bias is delayed, by resistances 41, 43 and condensers 42, 44, thereby preventing a momentary flash.
