  • Dry containment of radioactive materials
    Patent number: 4197467
    Abstract: A cask for the dry containment of radioactive fuel elements. The cask has a cover which contains valved drain and purge passageways. These passageways are sealed by after purge cover seals which are clamped over them and to the outer surface of the cover. The cover seals are tested by providing them with a pair of concentric ring seal elements squeezed between the cover seal and the outer surface of the cover and by forcing a gas under pressure into the annular region between the seal element.

  • Seal for sealing flanges and other objects
    Patent number: 4195855
    Abstract: This invention deals with improvements in a seal for sealing flanges, covers and other objects, which seal consists of a combination of at least one metal annular packing and one elastic annular packing, one of them being situated concentrically about the other one, the metal packing serving mainly as a sealing member and the elastic packing serving as a backing ring.One of the flanges is provided with a stepped recess by which the position of the seal is fully defined and by which the seal is supported laterally.

  • Bearer ring - printing press cylinder alignment and connection construction for rotary printing machines
    Patent number: 4195568
    Abstract: To permit slight tilting adjustment of a bearer ring with respect to the shaft of an associated printing cylinder upon interposition of a layer of resilient, shock-absorbent, wear-resistant material between the shaft and the shaft-receiving opening of the bearer ring, and to allow for inaccuracies of fit due to this elastic insert, the bearer ring is formed with openings therethrough in alignment with similar openings formed in the end face of the associated cylinder, exact positioned alignment between the bearer ring and the printing cylinder being obtained by introducing adjustment pins through these openings, the adjustment pins having relatively eccentrically offset sections in the bores of the bearer ring and the printing cylinder so that, upon rotation of the eccenter pins, exact concentricity of the bearer ring and the printing cylinder can be obtained.

  • Radiographic film cassette
    Patent number: 4194625
    Abstract: A radiographic cassette comprises a bottom and a cover capable of being locked together. The cover has a part of its normally rigid structure replaced by a flexible foil which, when vacuum is aplied to the interior of the cassette, exerts a pressure upon the film/screen combination contained within the latter. In this way an intimate contact between the film and the screen is established and at the same time the distance between the film/screen combination and the object to be radiographed is reduced to a minimum due to the small thickness of the foil.The cassette may be used in the field of high-definition radiography especially for mammography.

  • Sealing device with external deformable flanges
    Patent number: 4194750
    Abstract: A sealing device comprising a hollow body member having a plurality of spaced apart external deformable flanges and provided with a sealant on its external surface, preferably between the flanges. The device may be used to seal a supply line within a duct by pushing it within the duct so that the flanges are deformed, the sealant preferably being provided in a generous amount so that it fills the remaining gaps between the flanges after such deformation. The hollow body member may then be sealed to the supply line using, for example, a heat-shrinkable sleeve. The device may also be used to couple and repair hollow substrates such as gas and water pipes.

  • End piece for the bottom rail of a venetian blind
    Patent number: 4194551
    Abstract: There is disclosed an end piece for the bottom rail of a venetian blind which end piece is engaged by a flexible lifting member for the blind and a flexible tilting member both of which are positioned within the side housing of the blind. The flexible tilting member engages the end piece in sliding relationship such that movement of the flexible tilting member does not result in tilting of the bottom rail. Further, a portion of the end piece of the bottom rail is engaged for vertical movement in a slot in the housing in such a manner as to further insure against tilting of the bottom rail while permitting vertical adjustment thereof. The arrangements for engaging the lifting tape of the lifting member and the flexible tilting member with the end piece are such as to provide for very ready assembly while insuring against accidental disconnection.

  • Telescoping guide rail construction
    Patent number: 4194793
    Abstract: A telescoping guide rail construction comprising a plurality of telescoping rails, generally U-shaped in cross-section, and balls between the rails running in concave ball races formed by integral mouldings of adjacent rails. At least one of the integral mouldings is formed by a portion of a flange bent over at the end of a leg of one of the rails and bent back at least substantially into contact with the leg concerned. In order to resist deformative effects from the rolling action of the balls on their races in use, the free end of the curved-back portion of the flange is bent back towards the leg concerned to form a terminal edge bearing with its extremity on the leg in the vicinity of the base thereof.
