摘要:
A highway trailer has a relatively low-weight, high-strength load-support bed which includes a pair of longitudinally extending, parallel, inverted T-beams, and a series of side-byside transverse compound channel members, or pans, welded to the vertical webs of the T-beams in an orthotropic design. Preferably, each pan is substantially J-shaped in cross-section, and comprises a load-supporting horizontal top flange, a horizontal bottom flange, and a vertical web between the top and bottom flanges. The bottom flange and vertical web of each pan are slotted so the bottom of each top flange rests on the top edge of the T-beams. The top flanges are welded together to provide a continuous unitary deck surface extending the length of the T-beams. The top flange, bottom flange, and web of each pan are welded to the T-beams to provide shear continuity between the top deck flanges and the T-beams. A row of spaced apart longitudinal depressions are formed in each top flange to add stiffness to the top deck flanges.

A retractable core for use with an outer form in producing concrete castings includes a rectangular wall-forming box having a hollow interior and an opening at its bottom to allow access to its interior. The walls of the box are separated symmetrically into four quadrants, and the lines of separation between quadrants are sealed by a compressible elastomer. A retracting mechanism inside the box is connected to each quadrant. In use, concrete is poured over the box, and after the concrete cures, the retracting mechanism pulls each quadrant toward the center of the core to compress the elastomeric seal and thereby shrink the size of the core. The casting is then lifted over the core. Each quadrant is mounted on a separate set of elastically bendable support arms which deflect during retraction of the core and the subsequent return of the core to its initial wall-forming position.

One package zinc rich coatings for the protection of ferrous surfaces. The coatings contain zinc dust in a vehicle comprising an organic polysilicate, an amine or other hydroxyl source and a solvent. The ratio of vehicle ingredients is selected so that the volume average dielectric constant of the vehicle is below approximately 14, thus insuring that the zinc dust will not pack or settle into a hard mass and will be readily redispersible even after prolonged storage in a closed container. Upon application to a surface, atmospheric moisture reacts with the amine to provide OH ions, which in turn hydrolyze the polysilicate to form a tough adherent silicate binder for the zinc. Gas evolution in the inventive one package coatings is eliminated by incorporation of particular compounds in the coating vehicle. In a typical embodiment, an alkyl or aryl nitrocompound is used which combines with the evolving hydrogen, producing as a by-product an amine which enchances the coating effectiveness. In other embodiments, cycloketones or lead oxide compounds are used to inhibit hydrogen gas evolution.

A pipe elbow with an integral female socket joint portion is formed on an internal mold. The center of curvature of the curved portion of the mold is displaced slightly outwardly of a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the socket and passing through the juncture of the socket and the curved portion to permit withdrawal of the curved portion of the mold without touching the inner wall of the socket portion.

POWDERED ACIDIC CATALYST FOR FURAN RESINS IS FORMED IN SITU ON POWDERED INERT FILLER MATERIAL WHICH MAY OR MAY NOT CONTAIN A POWDERED COCATALYST DISPERSED THEREIN. THE ACIDIC CATALYST IS A SALT OF A STRONG ACID. IN SITU FORMATION OF THE ACIDIC SALT IS OBTAINED BY BLENDING THE ACID AND BASE INTO THE FILLER, AND UNIFORM, HOMOGENOUS DISPERSION OF THE SALT IS EFFECTED BY BLENDING ONE OF THEM, AS A LIQUID, INTO THE FILLER WHEREAFTER THE OTHER IS ADDED, AS A LIQUID, INTO THE BLEND TO PRODUCE A DRY POWDER WHICH IS THE ACIDIC CATALYST FORMED ON AND DISPERSED UNIFORMLY THROUGHOUT THE FILLER.

The application discloses a coupling device adapted to be suspended from a hoisting line for coupling to an object to be lifted having an upright headed pin. The device receives the pin and has fluid-powered jaws for grasping the pin together with safety means to prevent premature opening or closing of the jaws including a valve means operable by the pin.
