| 20100001161 | Support matrix arrangement - In a number of practical situations it is desirable to provide consistency with regard to a metering material presentation. For example, with regard to welding and shape metal deposition it is desirable to provide a homogenous vortex free cloud of gas shielding about a work piece prior to and subsequent to processing. Unfortunately, metering meshes are subject to distortion through thermal gradients. By providing a support matrix arrangement comprising a first planar member and a second planar member incorporating ribbon elements and deflector portions bilateral deflection in the plane of the metering mesh can be accommodated whilst outward buckling is avoided. In such circumstances there is consistency with regard to metering mesh presentation and therefore gas flow through shielding. | 01-07-2010 |
| 20100024514 | Bending tool - It is difficult to bend materials for forming beyond 180° in terms of bend angle due to the entrant nature of prior press forming arrangements including a press tool with a press recess of a static nature. By providing a press recess which is formed from actuators allowed to dynamically shift about a deflection member it is possible as a press tool engages and forces a material to be formed into the press recess to envelope the press tool and therefore achieve greater than 180° bending angles. The actuators are formed in a stack with alternate left right presentation of shaped receiving apertures which include an actuator surface | 02-04-2010 |

| 20100067977 | FASTENER - Traditional nut and bolt fasteners are generally acceptable but will normally be over specified for particular applications. Thus, in situations where weight is important such traditional nut and bolt fasteners are not optimised. By providing a fastener in which splayed arms are created with ridges in respective receptor members and insert arm members it will be understood that multi point stabilised contact points for a nut are provided. Thus, the nut can move along the ridges defining a screw path for tightening of the fastener in use. The engagement between the receptor members and the insert arm members is typically through a slot forked end or a closed slot with the slots presenting the splayed arms perpendicular to each other in a cruciform configuration. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20100104227 | BEARING - There is a requirement to provide bearings in relatively low speed non continuous situations such as with regards to turnover stands for engine and winding assembly. Previous bearings incorporating rolling elements are relatively expensive and over specified for such activities. By providing annulus members in a bearing cluster upon rocker members such that the annulus members can articulate in order to provide an appropriate bearing. Lubricating oil generally passes between the annulus members in a laminar stack such that the members can radially slide past each other to accommodate for eccentricities in a shaft supported by the bearing. | 04-29-2010 |
| 20100270270 | SHIELD - Provisions of shields for protecting welds as well as providing heat treatments are advantageous. Previously such shields were bespoke constructions produced iteratively and empirically for particular applications and uses. By utilisation of accurately cut sheets of material within which labyrinths are created it is possible to produce an output flow which is even and incorporates no vortexes. In such circumstances problems with regard to edge entrainment of oxygen causing possible oxidation problems in output flows as well as variations in heat treatments can be avoided. The shield also avoids use of welds which may become distorted during welding or heat treating processes. For reproducibility the shield is formed from accurately produced reproducibility components such that shields can be made at a number of sites to provide the same shield function. | 10-28-2010 |
| 20100270723 | FIXTURE FOR BENCH ASSEMBLY - Provision of appropriate fixtures for locating components for fabrication, machining and installation purposes is important. Traditionally, solid fixtures have been utilised but these have limitations with regard to consistency of orientation particularly if the fixture is removed from a base support or workbench regularly. By providing sheet elements for sides | 10-28-2010 |
| 20110039062 | STRUCTURAL COMPONENT - Structural components are traditionally made by rolling or extruding to define a desired shape. Such processes lead to extra costs and inflexibility with regard to bespoke design. By providing a structural component ( | 02-17-2011 |
