摘要:
In production of sintered bodies of particulate metal, especially porous sintered bodies, from particles of metal having a refractory oxide coating, a minor proportion of a flux is mixed with the particulate metal before sintering to aid in removing oxide from surfaces of the metal particles. The particulate metal may be aluminum, with which there may be mixed a minor proportion of particles of an alloying element. The flux may be a mixture of potassium fluoaluminate complexes; the residue of this flux, after sintering, provides a coating that aids in protecting the sintered article against corrosion.

A fault detection circuit for testing conductor-to-conductor and conductor-to-ground faults in multiple conductor shielded cables. The fault detection circuit includes a voltage source that provides a plurality of distinct voltage phases. Each distinct phase from the voltage source is connected through a resistance and a logic circuit to an individual conductor in the cable. The resistance limits the current flowing through the fault detection circuit to reduce the risk of electrical shock to the operator. The logic circuit includes control relays which are responsive to phase-to-phase or phase-to-ground faults in the cable conductors. The logic circuit also provides a visual indication of a fault in the cable.

A ceiling system constituted of inverted T support members arranged in a horizontal grid, wherein T members aligned in end-to-end relation are interconnected by a splice member bridging the joint between them and having a pair of horizontally spaced clips respectively projecting through openings in end portions of the webs of the interconnected T members. The splice member is a sheet element having portions bent laterally and downwardly about horizontal bending axes to form the clips, and side edges bent obliquely about vertical bending axes for bearing against the webs of the T members to cooperate with the clips in securely interlocking the splice member and the T members.

The conversion ceiling system disclosed may be installed immediately under a pre-existing ceiling without dismantling or removing the pre-existing ceiling. The conversion ceiling system includes pans which are adapted to cooperate with conventional inverted T-beams which, if pre-existing, support the pre-existing ceiling panels. The T-beams support the conversion pans in a side-by-side array to form a new ceiling surface. Each of the conversion pans includes a horizontally extending plate having a specially formed upwardly turned peripheral rim. At least two portions of the rim include laterally projecting tabs for engaging the flanges of T-beams and at least one of the tabs has an upstanding stop to limit the horizontal movement of the pan. The ceiling assembly may include a number of resilient clips securing the upstanding stops on the rims of the pans to the T-beams. Alternately, the pre-existing ceiling tiles may engage the stop to prevent horizontal movement of the pans. Filler pieces mask the T-beams in the proximity of light fixtures, ventilation ducts, walls and the like, giving the ceiling a continuous one-piece appearance. The conversion pans may be made of metal or other material, and various decorative coatings including mirror-like finishes may be applied to the exposed portion of the pans.

A method of setting up tooling on parallel rotary arbors for cutting plural parallel longitudinal slits in a web of sheet material advancing between the arbors, using a set of tooling comprising multiple circular cutter elements and multiple circular spacer elements, the elements having various nominal axial lengths with a common axial length tolerance of .+-.t. Each element, measured to determine the deviation between its actual and nominal axial length, is detectably identified (e.g. by color coding) with one of plural discrete successive subranges of the overall tolerance range .+-.t, viz., with that subrange in which its measured axial length deviation lines. A first group of the elements for mounting on a given axial portion of an arbor, and a second group of the elements for mounting on a corresponding axial portion of the other arbor in register with the given axial portion, are selected such that the sum of the first-group element nominal axial lengths equals the sum of the second-group element nominal axial lengths plus a predetermined value, and such that the first-group element axial length deviations lie in subranges that cumulatively balance the subranges in which the second-group element axial length deviations lie, for limiting the difference between the sum of the first-group deviations and the sum of the second-group deviations to a predetermined range of values; and the selected groups of elements are mounted on the respective arbors, the selecting and mounting steps being repeated to assemble a complete array of tooling elements.

A tin alloy powder containing up to 5% P is disclosed. Reduced sensitivity to sintering conditions is achieved by use of present alloy powder in production of sintered bronze articles. Means for controlling the growth of the article during sintering are also disclosed.
摘要:
Production of a longitudinally striated coating on a strip article by advancing the article past an open side of an otherwise-enclosed trench so that the article surface to be coated closes the open trench side, while delivering concurrent laminar flows of two different liquid coating materials to the trench at least at one locality spaced from the trench open side, to keep the trench completely filled and to deposit a layer of coating material on the moving article surface. Liquid circulation in the trench caused by the motion of the article surface so distributes the two coating materials along the trench that the applied coating layer is constituted of alternating longitudinal striations of the two materials. With delivery of concurrent flows of the two coating materials at each of plural localities spaced along the trench, positional and other variations of the striations can be achieved by varying the relative total flows delivered at different ones of these localities, for example to create a simulated wood-grain pattern.
摘要:
For use with horizontal siding panels each having complementary first and second locking means respectively formed along their top and bottom margins for interlocking vertically adjacent courses of panels in overlapping array, a system for mounting, on a wall, a panel interposed between already-mounted upper and lower courses which are vertically spaced by a distance less than the height of the interposed panel. The system includes clip means for securing the second locking means of the upper-course panels to the wall while permitting upward insertion of the first locking means of the interposed panel, behind the upper-course panels, to a level above that at which the second locking means of the upper-course panels would interlock therewith, retaining means for securing the first locking means of the interposed panel to the wall at that level against upward, downward or outward movement, and means mountable on the top margins of the lower-course panels for interlocking with the second locking means of the interposed panels, the interlocking means, when thus mounted, being vertically slidable through a range of elevations relative to the lower-course panels.
摘要:
In a suspended ceiling assembly of panels carried by spaced, elongated stringers, stabilizer bars interconnecting the stringers for maintaining the stringers fixed in position relative to each other and preventing racking of the assembly. Each stabilizer bar is a rigid element having a tab at each end for snap-fitting insertion into a slot formed in a stringer, and also having flange portions adjacent each end for bearing against a stringer surface along spaced extended lines of contact, when the tab at that end is inserted in the stringer, to prevent angular movement of the stringer relative to the stabilizer bar.
