A device for transmitting an electrical current through a bulkhead, with the bulk-head having an opening therein. The bulkhead has a first side that is under a pressure. The device includes a housing, fitted within the opening, a pin contact operatively positioned within the housing, and a solder cup operatively associated with the pin contact. A generating member, operatively adapted to the solder cup, for generating an electrical current representing a measured physical parameter within the bu...

An enclosed container for storing temperature sensitive goods. The container has opposed side walls and end walls as well as a floor and a ceiling. First and second bulkheads are moveably mounted within the container for dividing the container into three separate compartments. Two end compartments are services by fixed heat exchanges for conditioning the air in the compartments. A center compartment is serviced by a movable heat exchanger. By repositioning the bulkheads and the movable heat exch...

A towed array of hydrophone modules employs bladders that are mounted to bulkheads at the ends of the hose sections. The bladders are configured and pressurized so that pressure waves produced by the oscillatory motion of the bulkhead are suppressed by the bladders thereby significantly diminishing noise due to the breathing waves.

A bulkhead for use in a swimming pool that is moveable to selected positions along the length of the pool to divide the pool into various activity areas. The bulkhead includes supporting wheels mounted on tracks and is further characterized by jacking means for unloading the supporting wheels when the bulkhead is stationary.

A plastic sheath for wood bulkheads and the like which includes an elongated plastic sleeve configured and dimensioned to cover at least three sides of a generally rectangular wood board and at least the marginal edge of the remaining side thereof. The sleeve has a front panel covering a front side of the wood board, two side panels each joined to the front panel for covering opposite side edges of the wood board and at least two rear flaps each joined to an opposite one of the opposite side pan...

Boat davit for mounting on a bulkhead. A right angle plate has two perpendicular portions, one vertical and one horizontal, the horizontal portion having holes to permit bolting to a bulkhead. A first straight pipe is affixed to the vertical portion of said plate. A second pipe is mounted on the first pipe for vertical movement, the upper portion of the second pipe being bent at an angle of approximately 45.degree.. A first pulley is mounted at the upper end of the second pipe and a second pulle...

A safety latching and anti-ratcheting system for releasably securing lading cushioning systems which include a movable bulkhead, against lading stacked in a railway car or the like, where one side of said bulkhead normally receives the forces of the lading shifting within the car as said lading is being shipped. The latching system includes a plurality of retractable members mounted at the corners of said bulkhead, which members have integral latch pins at the ends thereof which engage latch str...

An improved bulkhead carriage for supporting and moving lading-engaging bulkhead panels along overhead tracks is disclosed and includes a force multiplier by which an operator who is pulling a chain fall applies an increased force to gear-drive means mounted to said carriage and which cooperate with said tracks. The force multiplier permits easy and accurate movement of the more recently developed heavier and sophisticated bulkhead assemblies. Horizontally disposed alignment rollers are mounted ...

An actuator of multiple latches of a bulkhead is provided with improvement features that insures making the operator of the device cognizant of the condition of the latches, that prevents inadvertent swinging of a handle that could result in damage, that brings about improved movement of linkages that operate the latches, and which permits of reduced servicing costs in the event repair is required.

An improved mechanism for operating the latches of a bulkhead, by means of a third handle spaced between the upright edges of the bulkhead, is provided by cam means that effects selective reciprocation of a cross rod which interconnects the two latch-operating handles that are normally provided at the edges of the bulkhead. The cam means include and cooperate with a handle that pivots relative to the cross rod that is to be reciprocated. The cam means normally bias the handle to a stored-away po...
