The upper surface of an interconnecting wear device 3 is positioned in contact with the lower surface of a sand mold 1, and is centered under a molten metal feed shaft 12 which opens into the bottom of the mold. The bottom surface of the wear device rests on the upper surface of a vertically upstanding casting nose 4. The wear device comprises a hollow steel collar 7 surrounding a compressed concrete annulus 18, in turn surrounding a refractory clay sleeve 8, and is easily replaced when leakage develops due to thermal shocks, etc.

A sealing gasket for an unlocked roadway manhole accessing a municipal sewage system is interposed between a cover 2 and a frame 1, and has an inverted L or hook-shaped cross-section including two spaced and parallel outwardly extending upper lips 18, 19 and two lower, oppositely extending lips 17, 20.

In a continuous vertical ascending casting installation for iron pipes T, graphite elements 3 defining a molten metal feed chimney 28, a die and coaxial core arrangement 13, 14 and an expansion vessel 16 are mounted under a cover 2 of an electric furnace 1. In use these graphite elements are immersed in a bath of molten metal contained in the hearth area 7 of the furnace, to thus enable precise temperature regulation and control. The outer surface of the die 13 is surrounded by a water cooling jacket 18, and the level of molten iron in the hollow cavity 25 of the core 14 is varied by the expansion vessel 16, to provide even finer control of the temperature gradient within the annular casting space. The overall arrangement is thus similar to a double boiler.
摘要:
Liquid metal M in a casting ladle 1 located under a mold A is cast uphill under low pressure into the mold cavity 10 through a vertical shaft 3. The metal is treated by a soluble inoculation wire 13 suspended down through the cavity over a length L greater than the height h of the mold with its lower part H submerged in the liquid metal filling the shaft. The ladle pressure is maintained until the wire is fully dissolved, and then raised to fill the mold cavity with the inoculated liquid metal.

A thin strip of metal or alloy is subjected to rapid solidification as it is ejected under pressure in a molten state from a crucible onto a cold, continuous band moving at high speed beneath the crucible's opening, in order to form metal strips in the vitreous state. An atmosphere under reduced pressure surrounding the zone of impact of the molten metal on the band is provided by a partially evacuated housing having opposed narrow inlet and outlet openings through which the band passes. The band is cooled and precisely positioned, and its vibration is minimized, by ejecting fluid from openings in the bottom of the housing, over which the band passes in closely parallel fashion. A pressurized gas at low temperature, ejected through these openings in the direction of the band, creates a fluid cushion between the band and the bottom of the housing. Curved fluid-ejecting units acting analogously to pulleys may be provided to define the path of the continuous band and to form similar fluid cushions between the band and themselves. The metal may advantageously be brought out of the housing by the moving band into an atmosphere of higher pressure before its temperature reaches the temperature of vitrification of the metal.
摘要:
A manhole cover plug (1A) contains three helical ribs (5A) whose profile, in transverse cross-section, has two lateral quarter-circular parts (11A, 12A). These lateral parts cooperate with helical grooves of the frame with a quarter-circular profile of a greater radius.
摘要:
Head-to-tail turning of one pipe out of two in a series of pipes being presented at irregular intervals which may occur at even or odd multiples of a step. A horizontal transporter moves by intervals of two steps and a turning device for one pipe out of two moves by one step as necessary to place itself in a position for turning beneath the pipe to be turned. Pipes are arranged head-to-tail, horizontally and vertically, one joint alternating with one smooth end at each end of the pipes in the production of pipe bundles.

A fusing furnace casting channel 13 is surrounded by an induction heating coil 17 embedded in a refractory lining 12. A graphite sleeve 20 having a refractory inner coating 16 defines the casting channel. The sleeve serves as a permanent, single turn secondary winding such that the channel may be preheated even when no molten metal is present in the channel, which would ordinarily act as the secondary winding or core. This enables the casting channel to be maintained at a high temperature between successive casting operations.
摘要:
The control mechanism to which the invention relates is intended to equip fire hydrants of the type comprising an outer body (1) extended downwards by an underground elongated pipe (2) connecting it to a water supply pipe (3), a valve cooperating with a valve seat, a control member (21) opening out at the upper end of the outer body (1) and said mechanism. The latter is constituted by a control rod (19) integral with a support member (7 ) constituted by a central sleeve (14) connected by radial arms (15) to a circular rim (16) provided with cylindrical bosses (17) and at least one lug (18) engaging in corresponding housings (11-13) provided in a support holder (6) fixed to the upper end of the elongated pipe (2).Application to fire hydrants.
