The reverse air cycle type of heat pump utilizes unidirection refrigerant flow wherein the condenser and evaporator retain their functions, but the air directed across them is redirected for different operations. While the heat pump is operating in the cooling mode, outdoor air is passed in heat exchange relationship with the condenser for liquifying the refrigerant and outside again; and indoor air is passed in heat exchange relationship with the evaporator for cooling the air and recirculated again. Conversely, in the heating mode, outdoor air passes in heat exchange relationship with the evaporator for vaporizing the refrigerant, then outside again; and indoor air is passed in heat exchange relationship with the condenser for heating the air and circulated again.
One prior art U.S. Pat. No. 2,878,657-Atchison, assigned to General Electric Company, the assignee of the present invention, discloses a heat pump wherein the air conditioning unit includes a plurality of air controlling valves each of which is associated with an opposed inlet and outlet opening of the unit that permit selective control of the air flowing into and discharging from the unit in order to direct air either from the outside or from within the enclosure over either of the heat exchangers disposed within separate compartments of the unit.
Under certain operating conditions in the heating cycle, evaporator may operate at such low outdoor ambient temperatures as to cause the accumulation of a coating or layer of frost on its surface. Since frost when it accumulates operates as a barrier to heat transfer between the evaporator and the air being circulated thereover, the efficiency of the unit is markedly reduced. Further, unless means are provided for interrupting the accumulation of frost, the evaporator can become completely filled with a layer of frost that may effectively block air passage therethrough. This blockage of air results in the loss of heat exchange and if allowed to continue can cause refrigeration system components to fail and can also result in compressor burn-out unless compressor operation is terminated.
In U.S. Pat. No. 3,555,842-Bodcher, a defrost line connects the upper inlet of the condenser to the upper inlet of the evaporator and includes a defrost valve which is closed during operation of the compressor but opens when compressor operation terminates. A return line connects the evaporator collector with the lower part of the condenser and includes a valve which operates in the same manner as the defrost valve.
In U.S. Pat. No. 4,158,950-McCarty, assigned to the General Electric Company, assignee of the present invention, there is disclosed a defrost arrangement for refrigeration system of the reverse air cycle type. A secondary defrost circuit is provided which permits refrigerant flow to by-pass the compressor when compressor operation terminates.
In patent application Ser. No. 144,795-McCarty, filed Apr. 28, 1980, U.S. Pat. No. 4,285,210, assigned to the General Electric Company, the assignee of the present invention, a defrost arrangement for a refrigeration system is employed in a reverse air cycle heat pump wherein the system compressor and expansion device are bypassed during defrost.
It is an object of the present invention to control the refrigeration system expansion valve in a manner that permits accurate regulated refrigerant flow between the condenser and evaporator during operation of the system during either the cooling or heating mode, while providing unrestricted flow of refrigerant when the refrigeration system compressor is inoperative.
The present invention provides a gravity defrost arrangement in a refrigeration system of the type having a refrigerant capable of boiling under relatively low pressure to absorb heat and condensing under relatively high pressure to expel heat. The refrigerant system includes a compressor having an inlet and outlet. The condenser has its inlet connected to the compressor outlet through a discharge line, with its outlet connected through the expansion device arranged in the liquid line to the inlet of the evaporator with the outlet of the evaporator connected to the compressor inlet through the suction line to complete the refrigerator system.
The defrost means includes a sensing means that is associated with the system expansion device in the liquid line, and a defrost flow conduit connected between the condenser inlet and the evaporator outlet. The sensing means is arranged at a point in the suction line relative to the compressor so that refrigerant flow through the liquid line between condenser and evaporator during operation of the compressor is regulated to insure efficient evaporator operation while at the same time being at a location in the suction line so as to be responsive to the temperature of refrigerant migrating from the compressor when the compressor operation terminates to provide an unrestricted refrigerant flow through the liquid line. A valve is arranged in the defrost conduit that is operable to a closed position by the pressure differential created by compressor operation to prevent refrigerant flow through the defrost conduit, and to an open position when the refrigerant pressure differential is bled down through the expansion device after the compressor operation terminates. This arrangement of an open defrost conduit and liquid line provides an unrestricted flow path through the defrost conduit between the upper portions of the condenser and evaporator and simultaneously through the liquid line between the lower portions of the condenser and evaporator. This unrestricted refrigerant flow path allows the warmer gaseous refrigerant, when present in the condenser, to flow through the defrost conduit into the upper portion of the evaporator to raise the temperature of the evaporator sufficiently to melt frost therefrom, while the temperature of the suction conduit adjacent the compressor raised by refrigerant migrating into the line from the compressor causes the sensor to open the expansion device to allow liquid refrigerant, when present in the lower portion of the evaporator, to flow through the unrestricted liquid line into the lower portion of the condenser.
The single FIGURE is a side elevational view of a reverse air cycle heat pump air conditioning unit showing a schematic of the refrigeration system incorporating the present invention.
Referring now to the drawing, there is shown an air conditioning unit 10 of the reverse air cycle type fully disclosed in the above mentioned patent application Ser. No. 144,795-McCarty, filed Apr. 28, 1980, and said application is hereby incorporated by reference.
Air conditioning unit 10 includes a housing 12 that is adapted to be arranged in an opening 14 in the wall 16 of an enclosure to be conditioned. The housing walls define generally a front opening 26 disposed on the enclosure side of wall 16 and a rear opening 28 disposed in the outdoor side of the wall 16. The housing is divided by a central machine chamber 30 to include an upper evaporator compartment 32 and a lower condenser compartment 34. A fan shroud 36 substantially divides the evaporator compartment 32 into an inlet area 38 and an outlet area 40. A fan shroud 42 substantially divides the condenser compartment 34 into an inlet area 44 and an outlet area 46. Mounted in the housing 12 is an evaporator 48 arranged in the inlet area 38 of compartment 32, a condenser 50 arranged in the inlet area 44 of compartment 34, and the compressor 52 arranged in the chamber 30. Air is circulated by a fan 54 in shroud 36 from the evaporator inlet area 38 to the outlet area 40 and similarly air is circulated by a fan 56 in shroud 42 from the condenser inlet area 44 to outlet area 46. The closed circuit refrigerator system includes a discharge line 51 connected from the compressor to the condenser inlet arranged in the upper portion of the condenser. The liquid line 53 including the flow control means or expansion device 55 is connected to the outlet of the condenser arranged at the lower end thereof and the inlet of the evaporator arranged at the lower end thereof. The suction line 57 is connected between the outlet of the evaporator arranged at the upper end thereof and the compressor inlet.
The inlet and outlet areas of the evaporator and condenser compartments are arranged the housing 12 with each area having a pair of openings therein, one communicating with the opening 28 facing the outdoor, and a second opening communicating with the opening 26 facing the enclosure whereby air can be both introduced and discharged from the evaporator and condenser compartments in two different directions. More specifically, the evaporator inlet area 38 contains openings 60 and 62 and the outlet area 40 contains openings 64 and 66 in the indoor and outdoor side respectively of housing 12. Similarly, condenser compartment inlet area 44 is provided with openings 68 and 70 and the outlet area 46 is provided with openings 72 and 74 in the indoor and outdoor side respectively of housing 12.
A pair of dampers or air valves 78 and 80 are provided for controlling air flow through the compartments 32 and 34 which are arranged for vertical movement in openings 26 and 28 respectively. The dampers 78 and 80 are interconnected by suitable cables (not shown) to insure proper location of one damper over a compartment inlet and outlet on one side of the housing by movement of the damper arranged on the other side of the housing. The cable system interconnecting the indoor and outdoor dampers is fully explained in the above mentioned application Ser. No. 144,795.
In the heating mode, the dampers 78 and 80 are arranged in the position shown wherein air flow through the condenser chamber 34 is used to heat the air circulated from the enclosure. That is in the heating mode, the damper 78 closes the evaporator compartment inlet opening 60 and outlet opening 64 on the enclosure side opening 26 of housing 12 so that outdoor air is circulated through evaporator compartment 32 and, the damper 80 closes the condenser compartment inlet opening 28 of housing 12 so that enclosure air is circulated through the condenser compartment 34 to warm the enclosure air recirculating therethrough. In the cooling mode, the indoor damper 78 would be positioned over the enclosure side condenser inlet 68 and outlet 72 area opening, and the outdoor damper 80 would be positioned over the outdoor side evaporator inlet 62 and outlet 66 area opening so that outdoor air is circulated through the condenser chamber 34 and enclosure air is circulated through the evaporator chamber 40 to cool the enclosure air.
Arranged over the front or indoor opening 26 of housing 12 is a front grille or appearance member 100 that includes a louvered portion 104 positioned over inlet 60 and outlet 64 of evaporator chamber 32 and a louvered portion 102 positioned over the inlet 68 and outlet 72 of the condenser chamber. A central control panel 106 is located between louvers 102 and 104 and generally positioned in the area of chamber 30 between the compartments 32 and 34.
In the course of this unit operating in the heating mode, water vapor under certain ambient conditions condenses on the evaporator through which as explained hereinbefore outdoor air passes. In some instances, the amount of water vapor available in the outdoor ambient is great enough to solidify and form a layer of frost which blocks air flow through the heat exchanger. This layer of frost must be removed when it has a thickness which opposes the desirable transfer of heat from the heat exchanger. Accordingly, by the present invention, means are provided that permit defrosting and elimination of frost when present in the evaporator each time operation of the system compressor terminates. In its preferred application, the present embodiment of the defrost system is intended to be used in defrosting the evaporator in a manner that will not completely interrupt the heating process of the enclosure air.
The refrigeration system including the means for effecting the defrosting of the evaporator as shown in the drawing includes the liquid line 53 which is connected between condenser outlet located in the lower portion of condenser 50 and the evaporator inlet located in the lower portion of the evaporator 48. The system expansion valve 55 is arranged in liquid line 53 and is controlled in a manner to be fully explained hereinafter to function both to regulate the flow of refrigerant between the condenser and evaporator, and to provide an unrestricted flow for refrigerant during defrost. A defrost flow conduit or bypass line 58 is connected between the outlet or upper portion of the evaporator 48 adjacent suction line 57 and the inlet or upper portion of the condenser 50 adjacent the discharge line 51. In effect, a circuit or refrigerant flow through line 58 will bypass the compressor 52. The defrost circuit provided by the present invention is through a closed loop provided by liquid line 53 and conduit 58 and heat exchangers 48 and 50 with the compressor 52 being bypassed. Means are provided to prevent refrigerant flow through conduit 58 when the compressor 52 is circulating refrigerant during normal operation of the refrigerating system. To this end, valve 59 is provided in the conduit 58.
The valve 59 is designed to close when a pressure differential is present in the system. Since this pressure differential is created by compressor operation, valve 59 will remain closed when the system compressor is operating. Accordingly, the added defrost flow conduit 58 and its respective valve 59 has no effect on the refrigeration system during its normal operation. Further, the valve 59 is designed to remain closed for a period of time after the compressor operation terminates until the system pressure differential created by the operating compressor is fed or bled down in the normal manner through the system expansion valve 55 at which time valve 59 will open. As will be explained hereinafter, refrigerant flow through the expansion device is controlled by a sensor 61. By the present invention, the sensor is located on the suction line at a point relative to the compressor that allows regulated flow of refrigerant to the evaporator during normal operation of the system, while allowing an unrestricted flow of refrigerant when compressor operation terminates.
When the compressor is not operating, the relatively warmer refrigerant in the compressor casing will migrate into the suction line 57 to raise the temperature of the refrigerant therein. The location of the sensor 61 relative to the compressor is selected so that it will sense this warmer refrigerant from the compressor casing thereby causing the valve 55 to move into its fully open position. The exact location of the sensor 61 relative to the compressor may vary between refrigeration systems and the exact position or point the sensor must be located at must be determined for each system.
In operation with the unit in the heating mode and a frost condition sensed on the evaporator 48 compressor operation will terminate. At this time, as mentioned above, with the compressor 52 not operating the system pressure differential will bleed down through the system expansion valve 55. Accordingly, the valve 59 being no longer under the influence of the pumped refrigerant flow will move to an open position and a non-restricted refrigerant defrost flow path through conduit 58 and liquid line 53 between the lower and upper portions of the heat exchangers is established. Hot gaseous phase refrigerant will flow from the upper portion of the condenser 50 through conduit 58 and into the upper portion of the frosted evaporator 48. The liquid refrigerant in the lower portion of the evaporator 48, which is relatively cool, flows through the open expansion valve 55 in line 53 into the lower portion of the warmer condenser 50 where it is heated and returns to gaseous phase.
The liquid refrigerant accumulated in the frosted evaporator 48 will drain into the condenser 50 containing gas due to a gravity head created by the accumulated liquid height and the location of the evaporator above the condenser. The cold liquid at approximately 32� F. in the evaporator will absorb heat from the warm condenser and will change to gas. As liquid drains from the bottom of the evaporator through the open expansion means under influence of the relatively warm portion of the suction line adjacent the compressor, warm gas will enter the top through conduit 58. This flow of cold liquid refrigerant out of the bottom of evaporator through line 53 to the warm condenser, and the flow of warm refrigerant gas out of the top of the condenser through conduit 58 to the cold evaporator produces an effective defrosting cycle that will continue until the temperature of the evaporator approaches the temperature of the condenser. At this point, gravity flow will terminate because liquid can accumulate in both heat exchangers.
Heat added to the refrigerant during the defrosting comes from the warm condenser which is in a relatively warm indoor ambient in the heating mode. To insure that the temperature of the refrigerant in the condenser returns to gaseous state an auxiliary heater 140 together with fan 56 can be employed to provide warm air flow through the condenser 50. While the heater 140 and fan 56 may be energized to provide auxiliary heat during peak demands, it also provides heat to the enclosure during the defrosting operation. The heater function during the defrosting or compressor-off period in the heating mode is effective in maintaining the temperature of the condenser 50 equal to or slightly below the enclosure ambient and, in fact, elevated enough to ensure that the 32� F. liquid refrigerant entering the bottom portion of the condenser is returned to the evaporator through line 58 in gaseous phase.
The defrost circuit through the defrost flow conduit 58 as mentioned above is automatic as the valve 59 opens each time compressor operation terminates. By the present invention, the defrost flow through and liquid line 53 is effected by the use of the system expansion valve 55 and more particularly in the manner in which the valve 55 is controlled. In carrying out the embodiment shown of the present invention, the expansion valve was Type B1E manufactured by the Spartan Valve Company. Refrigerant flow through the valve is controlled by the temperature responsive sensor 61 and, more importantly, by its location on the suction line 57 relative to the compressor 52. To this end, the sensor 61 employed to regulate the flow of refrigerant through the expansion valve 55 is arranged to sense the temperature of the suction line 57 generally in the vicinity of the compressor casing. This location of the sensor 61 on suction line 51 relative to the compressor casing is effective in allowing proper refrigerant flow regulation between the condenser and evaporator during normal operation of the refrigeration system in the normal manner. That is, the valve regulates the flow of liquid refrigerant to the evaporator in exact proportion to the rate of evaporation of the liquid refrigerant in the evaporator while permitting superheat to take place in the suction line. It should be noted that when compressor operation terminates the temperature of the refrigerant in the compressor casing will be elevated by the relatively warm compressor components and will migrate into a portion of the suction line 57. The migration of this relatively warm refrigerant into the suction line is influenced by the high pressure conditions in both the condenser 50 and compressor 52. During the compressor off period or defrost mode, the sensor 61 by its location adjacent the compressor casing will be exposed to this relatively warmer refrigerant as it migrates out of the compressor suction opening located in the lower portion of the compressor casing and, accordingly, the sensor 61 influenced by this warmer refrigerant will cause the valve 55 to move into its fully open position to provide unrestricted flow of refrigerant between the evaporator and condenser in the manner explained above during defrost.
It should be apparent to those skilled in the art that the embodiment described heretofore is considered to be the presently preferred form of this invention. In accordance with the Patent Statutes, changes may be made in the disclosed apparatus and the manner in which it is used without actually departing from the true spirit and scope of this invention.

I searched high and low for a small double bed for our spare room. The only problem, was that the standard bed from all suppliers were slightly too big for the gap. So, I started communicating with David Norman at the Storage Bed Company who confirmed this was not a problem and a bed was made to fit. When the guys came to build the bed (I would recommend this to all of you buying a bed from here), they were absolutely fantastic, I cannot praise them enough - they are the face of this business. I am so, so pleased and thrilled that I am now just waiting to decorate my bedroom and I will be ordering another one, plus a bed each from my sons. It really is the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. Fantastic! Thank you".

This invention relates generally to fasteners, and more particularly concerns an improved fastener assembly characterized by better stress distribution than has previously been possible, and by ease of make-up of the assembly providing a line-of-force interconnection between members being joined together. Such ease of make-up is facilitated by providing access to the side of the assembly for torque application.
It is desirable when interconnecting structural members to provide uniform stress distribution 360� around the line of force through the fastener. This is not possible where conventional bolts are used to interconnect the ends or edge portions of such members. Thus, either a bolt insertion and wrenching pocket must be provided, or else offset flanges are required. In the case of a wrenching pocket, it is impossible to provide 360� stress distributions; and where offset flanges are employed, the desired direct line-of-force connection is forfeited by the unwanted bending stresses introduced in the resulting force couples which are additive to the necessary tensile stresses. In order to resist these bending deflections, flanges must be relatively thick, requiring longer, lower frequency bolts plus additional space and weight requirements.
It is a major object of the present invention to provide a fastener and fastener assembly characterized in their construction and functioning as overcoming the above problems and disadvantages. Basically, the invention is embodied in a fastening assembly which comprises:
(a) an axially elongated fastener having axially spaced differentially threaded portions respectively adapted to threadably engage threaded extents on members to be interconnected, and between the threaded portions and
(b) means extending at the side of the fastener and having interconnection therewith characterized as transmitting torque to the fastener to rotate the fastener about said axis while allowing relative axial displacement between the fastener and said means, whereby said threaded portions are then adapted to threadably interfit said threaded extents to make-up the assembly.
As will appear, the torque transmitting means or turning element typically comprises an annulus extending about and in generally coaxial relation with the fastener, the interconnection between the annulus and fastener including interengageable shoulders such as flats keys or splines extending axially and spaced about the common axis; the initial displacement of the fastener is in a rearward direction and the forward threaded portion of the fastener typically has greater thread pitch than the rearward threaded portion of the fastener. After the initial rearward insertion of the fastener, it is reversed or "backed-out" of the first member at a slower rate than it is threaded into the member with the greater pitch. The assembly is "made up" and commences to bring the members together after the greater thread pitch end has threadably engaged the second member causing the interconnected members to relatively converge axially on the annulus.
The fastener may have a locally reduced precision cross section between the two threaded portions so as to ensure that failure is limited to that least cross section if it does ever fail, in response to tensile loading beyond that limited by the reduced section. The annulus, in addition, may have indicator grooving adapted to relatively close when predetermined clamping loading has been applied to it between the members interconnected by the fastener; or, a separate crushable washer may be employed to indicate the achievement of such loading.
In addition, the opposite end faces of the annulus may have flat surface 360� engagement with the members being joined together, or either one or both faces may have either male or female conical shoulders, engaging oppositely oriented conical extents in the members to be interconnected. The fastener and such members to be joined may be tubular as well as solid, facilitating their use as in interconnecting hydraulic and pneumatic pipes, tubing and casings.
Torque capability of the fastener is not affected by the tensile load-limiting cross section. Similar reducing of a section of a conventional bolt between the head and threads in the grip range reduces the torque capacity of the bolt, i.e. the annulus applies torque equally and simultaneously between each of the differential threads and the reduced section.
These and other objects and advantages of the invention, as well as the details of an illustrative embodiment, will be more fully understood from the following specification and drawings, in which:
FIG. 1 is a vertical section through one form of fastening assembly incorporating the invention;
FIG. 2 is a horizontal section taken on lines 2--2 of FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a vertical section through a modified fastener turning element;
FIG. 4 is a view like FIG. 3 but showing the FIG. 3 turning element in axially compressed condition;
FIG. 5 is a view like FIG. 1 but showing a further modified fastening assembly;
FIG. 6 is a view like FIG. 1 showing yet another modified fastener assembly, holding pipe sections together;
FIG. 7 is a view like FIG. 6, but showing a different from of fastener assembly, holding pipe sections together;
FIG. 8 is a view like FIG. 6, showing a modification.
Referring first to FIGS. 1 and 2, the fastener assembly 10 includes an axially elongated fastener 11 having axially spaced differentially threaded portions 12 and 13. These are respectively adapted to threadably engage threaded extents 14 and 15 on members to be interconnected. Accordingly, the fastener 11 may define a dually threaded bolt.
One of such members is shown to include an upper body 16 and an annular insert 17 therein, the insert defining internal threaded extent 14, and having a tapered exterior thread 17a interfitting internal thread 16a formed by the body 16. Body 16 also forms an upper internal recess 18 receiving the fastener threaded portion 12, whereby the latter is well protected. The other of such members is shown at 19, and defines interior cylindrical threaded extent 15.
The fastener assembly also includes means extending at the side of the fastener 11 and having interconnection therewith characterized as transmitting torque to the fastener to rotate it about axis 20, while at the same time allowing relative axial displacement between the fastener and such means, whereby the threaded portions 12 and 13 are then adapted to threadably interfit the threaded extents to make-up the assembly. One such means is shown to comprise an annulus 21 extending in generally coaxial relation with the fastener 11, the annulus typically extending about the fastener. As shown, the annulus and fastener have inter-engageable flats (indicated respectively at 24 and 25 in FIG. 2) to transmit torque to the fastener as the annulus is rotated. A suitable tool to rotate the annulus is indicated at 26, and the annulus may have external tool grippable flats at 27, and thus define a "NUT exterior". The annulus is shown in FIG. 1 as protectively enveloping fastener thread 13 to be advanced into threaded engagement with threaded portion 15 in response to rotating of the annulus.
The upper and lower members typically have shoulders, as at 30 and 31 between which loading is transmitted by the annulus as it is rotatably tightened to bring shoulders 30 and 31 relatively toward one another and into engagement with the top and bottom sides 32 and 33 of the annulus. At such time, threads 12 and 14 remain interengaged, and thread 13 and 15 are interengaged. To this end, axial displacement of the fastener is in a forward (downward in FIG. 1), fastener make-up direction, the forward threaded portion 13 of the fastener having greater thread pitch than the rearward threaded portion 12 of the fastener. Thus, as thread 13 is drawn into thread 15, the shoulders 30 and 31 are drawn relatively together. At make-up, a gap remains between those shoulders equal to the axial width of the annulus, to allow insertion and removal of the turning tool 26.
A precision, tension failure, annular groove 36 may be formed in and about the fastener intermediate extent between the threads 12 and 13, to ensure failure of the fastener at that location, and not at the threads. Such failure might occur for example in response to excessive tension loading tending to move body 16 axially away from member 19. The reduced cross section of the fastener inwardly of local region or groove 36 is of predetermined size, for that purpose.
The described system provides a maximum tensile load connection in a minimum "envelope"; also loading is evenly distributed 360� about the bolt or fastener 11.
A crushable, torque indicating washer or washers can be employed between the annulus 21 and shoulder 31 (or shoulder 30) and as indicated at 60 to indicate precisely controlled make-up force application. A torque indicating annulus is shown at 56 in FIGS. 3 and 4, with annular side grooves 57 and 58. Those grooves collapse when full loading is achieved, axially (see FIG. 4). That annulus may be used in place of annulus 21. Also, O-rings can be employed, as indicated at 61 and 62 between the annulus and shoulders 30 and 31, to provide moisture and dust exclusion.
Turning to FIG. 5, the annulus 70 corresponds to annulus 21 of FIG. 1; however, it has at least one and preferably two frusto-conically tapering end portions 71 and 72 adapted to interfit correspondingly frusto-conically tapered shoulders 73 and 74 defined by the members 75 and 76. In the illustrated embodiment, the members 75 and 76 respectively include bodies 77 and 78, and annular inserts 79 and 80 threaded therein, as at 81 and 82. The inserts define the internal threaded extents 14a and 15a (corresponding to extents 14 and 15 in FIG. 1) to which the fastener differentially threaded portions 12a and 13a (corresponding to portions 12 and 13 in FIG. 1) are respectively threadably engaged. Also, the inserts define the correspondingly frusto-conically tapered shoulders 73 and 74 referred to above. Other combinations of male and female conical interfits can be employed. In FIG. 5, the fastener 83 corresponds to fastener 11 of FIG. 1.
The form of the invention shown in FIG. 6 includes a tubular fastener 100 having axially spaced, differentially threaded portions 101 and 102. Externally threaded portion 101 interfits internally threaded extent 103 on upper tubular member 104; and internally threaded portion 102 interfits externally threaded extent 105 on lower tubular member 106. The center line is at 130. Threads 102 and 105 typically have greater pitch than threads 101 and 103, so that the joint is made up, shoulders 108 and 109 moving relatively together clamp annulus 107 endwise therebetween. Annulus 107 has axial tongue and groove sliding interfit with the fastener 100, at 110, whereby the annulus and fastener are relatively axially slidable, but are rotatably intercoupled, to transmit torque from the annulus to the fastener. The common continuous bore diameters of the annulus and tubular members facilitates passage of well tools therethrough, in cases where the members comprise well pipe. See bores 104a, 100a and 106a.
In FIG. 7 the fastener 120 and upper and lower members 121 and 122 are again coaxial and tubular; however, the fastener differentially threaded portions 123 and 124 are external threads, and the member threaded portions 125 and 126 are internal threads. The annulus 127 coupled to the fastener (as in FIG. 6) has grooves 128 the closing of which indicate that sufficient torque has been applied to make-up the joint, comprising the annulus endwise clamped between members 121 and 122. Note conical load transmitting shoulders on the annulus and members, at 130 and 131. Note also that the fastener and members 121 and 122 have a common bore diameter, although this is not a requirement in all cases.
FIG. 8 is like FIG. 6, except that the center line 130a is at the left instead of the right side of the wall sections. Annulus 107a is clamped endwise at 134 and 135 between the pipe sections 104 and 106; therefore, the need for spline interfit of annulus 107a and the fastener 100a is eliminated. A sliding cylindrical interfit may be provided, as at 110a. A smooth bore wall appears at 133.

text: I think you all are over-estimating the factor of fear on the side of the students though. There are plenty of children that grew up knowing a gun was in their house without having fear every time they stepped into their house. I doubt this would inspire much fear in students in general, if it settled in as a law. Within a few years the kids going into school would know to expect it and not be afraid of the idea.

Acceptance, Deferment and Rejection
How to React
There are three answers your child can receive from the admissions committee: accepted, rejected or deferred. While most people understand what accepted and rejected mean, deferred refers to indecision- once all the applications have been reviewed, then there will be a final decision. While students are typically upset or ecstatic about their decision, how do parents typically react?
This is potentially the best news a college student can receive, which ensures they'll be very pleased. As a parent, you have every right to join in on their celebration- after all, you helped your child get to where they are on this day. But you shouldn't exactly mimic your child's reaction. As mature adults, there are optimal ways of showing your content- whether it be through a heartfelt kiss and hug, or words of strong praise.
If your child is deferred, they may not know how to react. Some may not be familiar with this term, while others may feel insulted that they are a completely ideal candidate being forced to wait. Either way, assure your child that this is good news because their application is still under consideration and they have not been rejected. Since the admissions committee is still deliberating, deferred students should try submitting new grades and test scores or calling to express their sincere interest in the school. These easy and simple actions could improve their standing and chances in admisison.
A flat-out "no" is the last answer you or your child want to hear – especially if it's from his or her first-choice school – and they are going to be noticeably disappointed. Whether it is tears or rage, parents should be supportive and loving. Avoid negative talk about your child's dream school- rather, offer your genuine regrets and remind them of all the other schools they applied to. Rejection hurts, but assuring your child through support will help boost their confidence and considerably alleviate their sorrow. considerably.

Arie Luyendyk net worth: Arie Luyendyk is an auto racing driver who has a net worth of $5 million dollars. Born in Sommelsdijk, Netherlands, Arie Luyendyk began his racing career in the 70s. He was very successful in the Netherlands initially, and won the European Super Vee Championship in 1977. After that, he began racing on the Formula Three circuit, but had little success. He decided to relocate to the United States, and immediately, his racing career improved. He won his next Super Vee Championship in 1984, just after relocating. 1985 proved to be a banner year for Mr. Luyendyk. He was named "Rookie of the Year" for that season's races in general and, for his performance at the Indianapolis 500. Five years later, he won the Indianapolis 500, and set a record for the highest average speed during the race that has yet not been surpassed. He won the Indianapolis 500 again in 1997, and chose to retire in 1999. After a few years away from racing, during which he served as a commentator for ABC Sports, he decided to return to racing. He retired for good in 2003.

News Desk: Lowry leads at Oakmont
Lisa Cornwell and Tripp Isenhour wrap up Day 3 of the 116th U.S. Openthe bigger question. For guys, big name players looking for their first major championship DJ, Sergio, Lee Westwood we all wonder when they're gonna win that when What are your expectations for them on Sunday? I said that after round number two that I thought it was shaping up for somebody to get their first major championship and then Jason Day crashed the party. So I'm a little bit more ambivalent than I was earlier about the fact that this is gonna be the week That one of these guys break through and DJ's the one that keeps puzzling me because the way he played the first two rounds he looked unbeatable. And then so far in round number three he's looked a little shaky, in particular on the greens where he's been so solid. One of these guys you think would get their first major. I think DJ would be the one to get it before Lee Westwood and Sergio. Because he doesn't have quite as many demons in his head or his closet as Sergio and Lee does. Just cuz he's younger, right? Yeah, well true. And he hadn't put himself there quite as many times as those players have over the years. Yeah, well it's certainly going to be an exciting finish, no matter if it's a first time, or one of the more veteran players, who've been there before. For Trip I'm Lisa, this has been the Golf Channel News Desk, presented by World MasterCard.

Good morning to you all, it's time for our new challenge at Allsorts where it's my turn to host the challenge and I have some photo inspiration for the theme. Our sponsor is Sizzix. I also have some Chocolate Baroque shares for our 15 minute card posts and one for the June Rudolph Day challenge........I know shock, horror, I remembered well in advance.
I am so sorry that my visits are sparodic, but having a really bad week and again so pleased my DT work and posts are scheduled well in advance and I just need to add a few words here and there. In fact all of the cards in this posts were made weeks ago.
I am so sorry that my visits are sparodic, but having a really bad week and again so pleased my DT work and posts are scheduled well in advance and I just need to add a few words here and there. In fact all of the cards in this posts were made weeks ago.
For my top cards I started with a masked sun and used ink dusters and a torn piece of paper and a mixture of distress and dye inks to create the sky and landscape, Inkylicious trees and sentiment and Penny Black bunnies all stamped with black archival ink.
My second Allsorts card is a fairy scene using Lavinia stamps, Pan Pastel and torn paper for the background and sun rays, or perhaps they are magic rays of light as there is no sun or moon in this one, I leave that to your own imagination. The fairies and toadstools are all stamped with black archival and the little flowers at the front and trailing ivy with distress markers direct to stamp.
Please do pop over to the challenge blog and see what my team mates have created and to check out the prize and inspiration photo.
My Rudolph Day card uses an Inkylicious tree scape stamp, I had only used it for summer cards but I thought it would work equally well for winter using the right colours. So I stamped it centrally and then repeat stamped either side to extend the scene, it's a really easy one to do this with as the land line is easy to match up. The colouring is all done with Pan Pastels and I added a few branches and thistles along with two Deer and of course the obligatory glitter and snow.
And here are a couple of my Chocolate Baroque cards, the one above has a background of Pan Pastels and CB Let Your Heart Sing stamped with black archival.
This one features CB Oriental Crane stamped with black archival ink over a Brusho background, some bullrushes and hanging willow catkins from CB Spring Foliage, this is probably one of my most used CB stamp sets as the elements are so useful for adding to scenic cards.
Pan Pastels again, sentiment from CB Words of Inspiration and floral scrolls from CB Butterfly Flourish which I inked with distress markers and spritzed with water before stamping to blend the colours.
Have a lovely weekend.
