Container support pedestals

Abstract: A container support apparatus for supporting cargo containers being transported on railroad container cars the apparatus comprising a pair of pivotal support pedestals spaced opposite from each other along the side sills of the railroad container car and connected to transverse linkage to permit raising or lowering the pedestals from either side of the railroad car

Portable flame photometer and sampling probe

Abstract: A hand-held sampling probe remotely connected to a portable flame photometer enables immediate on-site identification of a desired piece of steel in a mixed stockpile thereof according to a percentage concentration of manganese element in the steel. An operator causes the sampling probe to strike a low-voltage electric arc on a sampling surface of the test piece so as to generate an aerosol of atmospheric air and sample particles. An induction burner located in the flame photometer is fueled by a self-contained propane bottle and is adjusted to aspirate the aerosol and excite the sample particles in low-energy flame. Photoelectric circuits analyze the flame spectra and accumulate concentrations of iron as an internal standard and manganese as the identifying element. When the iron concentration reaches a predetermined value, a control unit interrupts the electric arc and element accumulations and displays percent manganese concentration on a meter without ratioing iron and manganese signals.

Apparatus for the hydrostatic extrusion of thermoplastic polymers

Abstract: A hydrostatic extrusion apparatus whereby semicrystalline thermopolastic polymers can be hydrostatically extruded in a solid state is described. The apparatus includes an outer tooling support means; a container assembly aligned within one end of the outer support means and having pressure means contiguous therewith whereby pressure is applied to the apparatus to both rigidly align the tooling and provide sufficient pressure for extrusion of a polymer billet within the container assembly and a receiver assembly coaxially aligned with the container assembly in the other end of the tooling means. The container assembly includes a container means, sealing means to prevent leakage of hydrostatic fluid in the container means and a die portion on the inner forward surface of the container means. The receiver assembly includes a concentrically aligned mandrel which supports and aligns a mandrel-head in spaced relationship with the die portion of the container means. Means are also provided for receiving, lubricating and cooling the extrudate in the receiver assembly. A base portion supports the extrudate receiving assembly and coacts with the pressurizing means in the container assembly to rigidly align and clamp the tooling means together.
