Abstract: Apparatus for producing continuous unexpanded honeycomb material from slices of unexpanded material has a magazine for delivering the slices to a ramming station in turn, a ramming device for ramming them from the station in their expansion direction through a gripping guideway, and an adhesive applicator for applying adhesive to the slices so that they adhere together in the guideway under the ramming pressure. Provision may be made for feeding the magazine with layers of unexpanded slices from a stillage.The apparatus may be joined to a machine for lapping the unexpanded material for storage or transport if required.

Abstract: A composite casting is produced by electrodepositing a wear resistance material onto a core, immersing the core in an aluminium melt and then casting an aluminium alloy around the core, before detaching the latter. The wear resistant layer may be given a roughened surface before immersing in the aluminium melt, by increasing the current density in the later stages of the depositing. The method may be used for casting light metal cylinders for internal combustion engines.

Abstract: A photographic camera having a mirror gearing and an electric motor for shutter cocking and film winding, in which the current connection for the electric motor situated in the camera housing is controlled alternately by the shutter and film winding.The camera includes a manual release mechanism and a remote release mechanism. A detent disc is mounted on a shaft and driven by the electric motor. A release lever is also mounted on the shaft. A first blocking lever is provided for inhibiting the movement of the release lever and is connectable both with the manual release and the remote release. A second blocking lever also inhibits the movement of the release lever. A detent lever with a nose thereon engages the detent disc and is connected through a joint with the second blocking lever. An actuator lever is provided for releasing the detent lever from the detent disc and is blockable by a blocking pawl coupled with the mirror gearing. A dog is driven by the motor for tensioning the actuator lever.

Abstract: An agitating apparatus comprising a support, a container supported by the support and rotatable relative to the support about a substantially vertical axis, an agitator within the container and co-operating drive means between the support and the upper part of the container for driving said agitator when the container is rotated about said axis.

Abstract: An austenitic heat resisting steel exhibiting excellent strength for a long period of time services at an elevated temperature, coexistant-adding 0.02 to 1.0% Nb and 0.02 to 1.9% Zr or 0.02 to 1.0% Nb, 0.02 to 1.0% Zr and 0.02 to 1.0% Ti in addition to usual composition of a stainless steel, simultaneously adjusting the atomic ratio of said(Nb+Zr) or (Nb+Zr+Ti) to C within the range of 0.05 to 1.0, preferably 0.2 to 0.5.

Abstract: A butt welded tube is provided having excellent properties by the steps of forming a skelp onto a round shape, butt welding the edges thereof with butt welding rolls, blowing oxygen or air into the weld zone, so that said zone is brought to a melted condition with oxidizing heat based on said blowing and some notches which are formed are blown off with said blowing, and then said tube is passed through a train of reducing rolls to obtain a smooth surface and the required dimension of said tube.

Abstract: The invention relates to a chassis intended to hold electronic modules which use printed circuit boards. The chassis includes upper and lower supports for the boards which have slide-ways to guide the boards, and also serve to align connectors and secure them to front and rear upper and lower cross-pieces of the chassis. The supports snap or latch onto the cross-pieces by means of mouths which are orientated at right-angles to one another. The chassis may be employed in industrial automation control systems.

Abstract: A measuring instrument such as a manometer adapted to be mounted in a fluid pressure system and having a rigid, generally closed instrument casing, the rear wall of which is provided with an opening in which there is inserted a blow out security element which is combined with a deformable bellow member extending into the casing so as to be able to accomodate thermal expansion and contraction of the gas or liquid enclosed within the casing, the interior of the bellow being connected to the atmosphere through a passage in the outer portion of said blow out security element. Further, as a separate sales article for mounting in an opening in the casing wall of an already existing measuring instrument, an insert unit made as a blow out element having integrally or disintegrally associated therewith a bellow member operable to be inserted through said opening when the insert unit is mounted in the opening.

Abstract: A device, for compressing refuse and carrying away the compressed refuse in containers, of the kind including (i) a bulk container having on its upper side a charging opening, (ii) a pressure plate for compressing refuse in that part of the bulk container forming a compressing space, (iii) a lifting system for raising compressed refuse in front of an ejection opening, and (iv) a discharging device located above the compressing space, characterised in that said lifting device is a cage open on the charging and discharging sides.

Abstract: A combustion engine with a piston forming the combustion chamber, means for protecting the edge of the opening of the combustion chamber against cracks being arranged so that they only take effect in the peripheral zones of the edge which are adjacent the supporting sides of the piston.

Abstract: A check valve, comprising in combination, a valve body defining a cylindrical passage for fluid flow therethrough from an upstream side to a downstream side of said valve body; a step on said upstream side for retaining a disc thereon; a hollow cylindrical support with top and bottom portions mounted on the downstream side of said valve body around said defined passage with a straight retaining groove towards the top portion of said hollow cylindrical support for retaining a shaft; a circular disc valve with a disc face sized to seal off said defined passage which will engage said step so as to close said passage; and, a shaft tangentially attached to the top thereof, said shaft being retained for free pivotal movement in said groove, whereby, liquid flowing downstream will push open said disc face which will pivot open on said shaft, but said disc valve will close when subjected to back flow pressure.

Abstract: A comparison-type flux meter for works such as nozzles or the like has an output elimination circuit in co-operation with a DC amplifier receiving output of a differential pressure transducer inserted in the main pipe line. Measurement error is minimized and reading of deviation of works to standards is accurate and rapid.
