A method of mounting a fibre composite flywheel on a relatively stiff shaft, such as a metal or carbon fibre shaft, comprising passing the shaft through a hole in a hub at the center of the flywheel and securing the flywheel to the shaft wherein the shaft has a tapered portion and a deformable sleeve is positioned between the shaft and the hub of the flywheel on assembly. The deformable sleeve com...

Compsn. includes a mixture of ammonium chloride and ammonium phosphate as flame retardant materials with a small amount of sidum silicate solution to stabilise the mixture after application. The sodium silicate solution includes sodium silicate and mineral-containing water which is acidified to an extent which causes the onset of gelation of the silicate.

By means of a locking part 1 having the shape of a ring, a strong mechanical joint between a tube 5 and an opening in a sheet 6 may be provided. The locking part 1 has an outwardly directed flange 2 and an inwardly directed flange 4 and is mounted on one end of the tube 5, which is inserted into the opening in the sheet 6. By applying axial pressure to the end of the tube 5, a deformation of the l...
