  • Patent number: 7836580
    Abstract: A method for producing a winding, particularly for electrical transformer from a cylindrical tubular metal element of polygonal cross-section, includes steps of machining, in a first series of passes, a first series of cuts substantially parallel to one another through all of the sides of the tubular element with the exception of a last one of said sides, and machining, in a second series of passes, a second series of cuts in said last one of said sides in order to ensure that junctions of the first series of cuts open out in the sides adjacent to the second series of cuts, so that the first and second series of cuts are continuous with respect to one another and constitute a single groove of helicoidal shape.

  • Patent number: 7607268
    Abstract: A false wall includes a stretched piece of fabric held on the periphery thereof by an edge attachable to ribbands fixed to the ceiling or walls of a building. The ribbands include a holding arrangement having two interspaced parallel wings, namely a first external large wing and a second, lower, internal wing that ends in a shoulder extending towards the first wing and ending at a distance there from that enables the edge to be guided through, to rest on the shoulder. The ribband includes a base and two holding arrangements provided with inclined wings that converge towards each other and the space between the ends thereof is such that the distance between the end of a large wing and the plane of the large wing of the holding arrangement opposite is equal to the distance separating the shoulder of the holding arrangement from the large wing associated therewith.

  • Publication number: 20070171021
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing a winding (1), e.g. for an electrical transformer, from a cylindrical, tubular metal element having a straight polygonal section. The inventive method is characterized in that it comprises the following steps consisting in: machining a series of essentially-parallel cuts through all of the sides (1a, 1c, 1d) of the tubular element excluding one last side (1b), said step being performed in a first series of passes; and, in a second series of passes, machining cuts in the aforementioned last side (1b) in order to form a junction with the cuts in the adjoining sides, such that said cuts are continuous and form a single helicoidal groove.

  • Publication number: 20060289472
    Abstract: A longitudinal flexible heating mat includes a thin conductive metal strip (3) which is intended to be supplied with electric current at the ends (C, D) thereof and which is trapped between two flexible, insulating sheets (1, 1?) . The conductive strip includes at least two elements (3a, 3b) which extend from one of the longitudinal ends (A) of the mat to the other longitudinal end (B) of same. The first ends (C, D) of the aforementioned elements are intended to be connected to respective electric power terminals, and the second ends (D, E) of the elements are free and intended to be connected to one another using connection members (7). The invention also relates to a method of producing one such mat.

  • Publication number: 20060283159
    Abstract: A gas liquid separator adapted to be inserted into a conduit is disclosed. The gas-liquid separator includes downward sloping vanes and optionally, one or more return channels. The vanes may have an opening along the length thereof, and a bottom lip to channel accumulated liquid to the conduit wall or to sloped return channels. If the conduit is not sloped such that the captured droplets are returned to the originating vessel, sloped return channel/channels are used to return the captured droplets to the vessel from which the gas stream originated. With a central return channel, the vanes can be attached directly to the channel with the resulting assembly having a fishbone shape. When a central return channel is not used, the vanes can be attached to a central plate or spine with the resulting spine-vanes assembly again having a fishbone shape. The separation enhancers can be used in a variety of conduit configurations.

  • Publication number: 20060251546
    Abstract: The present invention provides an assembly for use in vertical, gravity flow driven polymerization reactors for combinations of high viscosity, high throughput, and shallow polymer depths. The baffle assembly module of the invention includes a support structure having a plurality of side openings. The side openings allow the escape of vapor liberated from the polymeric melt. The assembly further includes a feed splitter followed by two or more vertically arranged rows of baffle plates with the feed splitter and baffles sequentially positioned in the support structure. The plurality of parallel baffles in a row are angled such that when a polymeric melt contacts a given baffle the polymeric melt moves in a downward direction under the force of gravity. The arrangement of the rows is such that each row (except the lowest row) transfers the polymeric melt to a lower vertically adjacent row until reaching the last row of baffles in the module.

  • Publication number: 20060251547
    Abstract: A bundle assembly for vertical, gravity flow driven polymerization reactors for combinations of high viscosity, high throughput, and thin polymer films is provided. The bundle assembly includes static internal components that provide large areas of free liquid surfaces in contact with the atmosphere of the reactor while still attaining sufficient liquid holdup times for polymerization to take place. The bundle assembly includes one or more stationary film generators. The bundle assembly further includes one or more stationary arrays of film support structures. Each of the film support structures has a first side and a second side. Both sides of the film support structure are coated with flowing polymer. The vertical arrangement of components in the bundle assembly cause the polymeric melt to cascade down the vertical length of a reaction vessel interior that incorporates the bundle assembly.
