  • Publication number: 20230070548
    Abstract: Fireworthy sealants may have a variety of compositions and be made by a variety of techniques. In certain implementations, a fireworthy sealant may include a body comprised of a cured, tacky, soft, deformable non-adhesive gel. The gel body may have an upper surface, a lower surface, and a perimeter, wherein the upper and lower surfaces of the gel body, in an uncompressed state, define a body thickness. The sealant may, in an uncompressed state, be dimensioned to fit in a first opening between a wall and an aircraft component surface and deformable when under compression to fit in a second opening, smaller than the first opening. The sealant may be flame retardant and produce low smoke density and low smoke toxicity.

  • Patent number: 8956124
    Abstract: A securing system for a fan assembly. The securing system includes a first member which attaches to a motor mount and a second member which attaches to the hub of the fan assembly. The first member is interposed between the hub and the second member such that should the shaft of the motor break, the first and second members engage with one another and inhibit the fan assembly from falling away from the motor mount.

  • Patent number: 4000462
    Abstract: Disclosed is the physical construction and electrical control circuit of a fault indicator designed to provide a watertight structure for the indicator. One face of the indicator is visible through the sealing apparatus, the sealing apparatus enclosing the structure on all sides other than the indicator face side. The indicator is capable of being submerged and will withstand a water pressure of 8 psig to meet specifications established by electric utilities. The electrical control circuit normally causes the transformer to operate below its saturation level resulting in quick response to changes in input current, and providing improved temperature stability of the control circuit.

  • Patent number: 3966108
    Abstract: An inertia isolator is mounted on the frame of a web transport system between a drive roller and a supply reel on which web material is wound. A first relatively stiff member is mounted to the frame adjacent the drive roller and a second relatively stiff member is flexibly attached to the first member and positioned so that the web material is in slidable contact. The second member flexes in a direction to aid in unwinding the web when the drive roller is accelerated and flexes in the other direction when the drive roller is decelerated.

  • Patent number: 3962661
    Abstract: A magnetically shunted current transformer for use with a current carrying conductor, and being of the type having a non-distributed secondary winding is disclosed. The transformer includes a magnetic core comprising first and second separable core sections adapted for placement about the conductor wherein the ends of the sections abut one another to form a substantially continuous core about the conductor. The secondary winding is carried by the continuous core and surrounds a portion of at least one of the sections. A spring bail clamps the core sections together. First and second magnetic shunt members are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the continuous core. Each shunt member comprises a plurality of stacked steel lamina forming a lamination having an elastomeric housing or a jacket molded thereover. The shunt members are provided with a geometry substantially conforming to the continuous magnetic core except at their end portions which confront the secondary winding.
