Abstract:
Aluminum conductor containing 0.25 to 0.5% Cu and 0.05 to 0.20% Mg and having good tensile strength and a minimum electrical conductivity of 60 percent IACS together with good bendability and improved connector conduction stability. A preferred fabrication method contemplates working at temperatures that retain the Cu and Mg is solid solution but also impart strain hardening, a drastic cold reduction to produce a severely strain hardened conductor product followed by a controlled thermal treatment to relax a certain amount of the strain and precipitate a portion of the Cu and Mg.
Abstract:
Use of glycol, tallow and tall oil esters in a mineral oil base lubricant which can be emulsified and used to produce a waterbase lubricant useful in metal drawing and ironing operations.
Abstract:
Alumina trihydrate of an average particle size of less than about 0.7 micron and a dispersibility in water of at least about 70 percent by weight. The trihydrate is prepared by heating a slurry containing a mix of alumina hydrate of a particle size of less than 0.7 micron and an alkaline solution at 150*-220* F for from 5 to 45 minutes, separating the resulting alumina trihydrate from the slurry, dispersing it with the aid of a dispersing agent, and then drying it.
Abstract:
An easy opening rectangular container wall which has a line of weakness around its periphery defining a removable portion in the container wall and which has a tab attached to the removable portion in one corner, as by means of an integral rivet, and a downward embossment in the removable portion including a wing section spread outwardly from adjacent the attachment and a narrow tail section joined to the wing section.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a laminated metal container wall having an integral opening device. Providing a metal sheet, coating the sheet with an adhesive selected from the group consisting of epoxy, polyester and polyurethane and subsequently securing to the sheet by means of the adhesive a continuous layer of barrier material selected from the group consisting of lowdensity polyethylene, high-density polyethylene and cast polypropylene. Subsequently scoring said sheet to define a severable and/or removable sector and leaving residual metal along the score line of a thickness of about 0.002 to 0.006 inch. Effecting the scoring while preserving the integrity of the barrier by maintaining continuity of the layer of barrier material. Simultaneously with the scoring operation reducing the thickness of the barrier material in the regions underlying the scoring through compressibly established flow without penetrating entirely through the layer. This compressibly established flow serves to reduce the shear resistance to severance of the barrier when the laminated container wall is opened. An outer protective material selected from the group consisting of a polyester, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride and medium- or highdensity polyethylene may be continuously secured to the barrier material. A laminated metal container wall made by the above method having a barrier material thickness of about 0.002 to 0.003 inch in the portion not underlying the score line and a reduced thickness in the portion underlying the score line. The barrier material having a continuous panel covering structure. An outer protective material selected from the medium- consisting of a polyester, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl chloride and medium- or highdensity polyethylene secured to the barrier material.
Abstract:
An extrusion process and apparatus in which a die member is provided with an annular recess in the periphery thereof. The recess permits radial expansion of the front portion thereof when the member and extrusion material are forced together under extrusion pressure, and radial contraction when the extrusion pressure is terminated.
Abstract:
A self-damping electrical conductor for suspension between spaced supports, the conductor including a hollow conductive mantle and a conductive core loosely disposed therein. The conductive core comprises at least two substantially straight conductors extending through the mantle in essentially parallel relationship to the longitudinal axis thereof, and loosely disposed with respect to each other and to the mantle. The conductive mantle and the core conductors have several different combinations of stress-strain characteristics, density, and coefficient of thermal expansion, such that the core conductors inherently seek different sags when the mantle and core are suspended under tension between supports.
Abstract:
The subject matter relates to a pilferproof closure for a container in which the closure is threadedly engaged with the thread of the neck of the container and is of the type which includes a locking band at its lower end having its lower edge turned under a shoulder on the container neck, with the locking band being separated from the main body of the closure by a circumferential line of lancing and spaced bridges, with the bridges being the sole means of attachment of the band to the main body of the closure. The locking band is provided with several circumferentially spaced vertical weakening lines, preferably four equally spaced, which rupture on unscrewing of the closure to produce outwardly flared sectors in said locking band, whereby the entire closure, including the locking band, is completely removable from the container neck. The bridges do not fracture for the most part, but instead function to provide bend lines for the outwardly flared sectors.
