Title: Improvements in the manufacture of tubular containers
IPC: C23D5/00
Filed: 1951-03-07
Abstract: 721,743. Endless conveyers. UNIVERSAL METAL PRODUCTS, Ltd., and BIDDULPH, M. June 5, 1952 [March 7, 1951], No. 5501/51. Class 78 (1). [Also in Group XVI] A machine for performing operations on tubular containers, such as collapsible tubes, comprises mandrels on which the containers are placed, a series of arbors arranged to hold the mandrels and joined together in the form of an endless chain, the chain being mounted so as to convey tubes placed on the mandrels to an enamelling machine which coats them with enamel, and then through an oven to a printing machine, and, after they have been printed, through the oven to their starting point, where they are removed from the mandrels. As shown, the tubes to be operated on are supported on mandrels 1 carried by arbors 2 joined together by links 3 to form a continuous chain which passes round an intermittently - rotating chain wheel 4 at one end whereby the tubes are brought into contact with a roller 5 for applying enamel, and round a chain wheel 6 at the other end of the machine which brings the tubes into contact with a printing roller 7. The chain travels through casings 8, 8a containing infra-red heating means whereby the enamel is partially dried on a tube before it reaches the roller 7, and the drying of the enamel and printing is completed on the return run through the casing 8a. Sprockets 12 on the arbors 2 engage chains 11 extending along guides 9, 10 for the conveyer chain, whereby the mandrels are rotated whilst travelling through the casings to ensure uniform drying. As a finished tube emerges from the casing 8a, the conveyer chain stops with the arbor opposite a compressed air nozzle and a valve is opened to admit a jet of air which blows the tube off its mandrel. The machine is driven by a motor which drives a shaft 14 which, through gearing, drives a shaft 21 carrying a crank 22. This latter is connected by a rod 23 to an arm 24 which is mounted to turn about the axis of the wheel 4 and carries a pawl 25 engaging a ratchet wheel 26 connected to the wheel 4, whereby an intermittent drive is imparted to the wheel 4. The drive to the conveyer chain may be interrupted by operating a pedal 27 so as to raise a rod 28 and turn an arm 29 which engages a pin 30 on the pawl 25 to lift it clear of the ratchet teeth. The coating mechanism is separately driven by a chain drive to a sprocket 31 on a shaft 32 which may be rotated by a hand wheel 33. The shaft 32 carries a gear 35 which meshes with a gear 38 to drive a sprocket 39 which through chain gearing drives a sprocket 40 on the shaft of the coating roller 5. A gear wheel 42 on this latter shaft drives a roller 43 which in turn rotates a roller 44 dipping in an enamel bath 45. During the coating operation, the tubes are rotated by their sprockets 12 engaging a chain extending around sprockets 47, 37, the sprocket 37 being driven by a gear 36 meshing with a gear 34 on the shaft 32. A sprocket 50 geared to the printing roller 7 is driven by chain gearing from a sprocket 48 on the shaft 14.

Title: Improvements relating to the use of luminescent materials in the accurate reproduction of drawings
IPC: G03C1/815
Filed: 1942-04-29
Abstract: 557,109. Reproducing drawings. KODAK, Ltd. (Eastman Kodak Co., Wynd, C. L. A., and Lane, G T.). April 29, 1942, No. 5786. [Classes 98 (i) and 98 (ii)] [Also in Group XL] In the photographic reproduction of engineering drawings and like patterns an original drawing is made in fluorescent material which is on an opaque support say of aluminium or plywood permeable to X-rays. On a second similar support are superposed (i) a layer of fluorescent material, (ii) a light filter or screening material, and (iii) a light sensitive emulsion. The original drawing is now reproduced on the emulsion and during the fixing process or by other means the light filter or screen-which was opaque to light -is made transparent. By this means mirror images of the original drawing are obtained, which can be used to obtain symmetrical templates for example templates of the right and left hand doors of an automobile. The luminescent layer may be calcium tungstate in a cellulose ester solution which is water resistant, or barium fluorochloride in a binder as described in Specification 557,102 may be used. The screening layer may be manganese dioxide or a non- wandering dye in gelatine, a cellulose ester partially hydrolysed until water permeable, or a resin. The sensitive layer may be applied by the methods described in Specifications 553,341, 554,292 and 549,371. The fluorescent material may be activated by U.V. or cathode rays or, if the radiation will not pass through the support, phosphorescent means may be used. Specification 548,795 also is referred to.

Abstract: 1467943 Borehole logging BUREAU DE RECHERCHES GEOLOGIQUES ET MINIERES 12 Feb 1975 [14 June 1974] 5947/75 Heading G1N In a method of geophysical exploration the ratio of the amplitudes and/or phase difference of the magnetic field components of a very low frequency electromagnetic wave at the surface and at predetermined depths down a borehole are measured. A transmitter e.g. 16KHz is positioned distant from a borehole to be logged and a pick-up 3 tuned to this frequency is orientated to receive the maximum AO magnetic field component 1 of the transmitted e.m. wave at the surface, the pick-up's 3 output being applied via amplifier 10, filter 11 including quartz oscillator 12 oscillating at the transmitter frequency to the reference input 13 of phase and amplitude comparator 9. A measuring pick-up 7, after initial calibration next to pick-up 3, is lowered down the borehole by winch 16 to a predetermined depth and the magnetic field component Az of the transmitter e.m. wave is detected which is fed to the surface and via amplifier 17, filter 18 and associated quartz oscillator 24 to input 20 of the comparator 9. Ratio Az/Ao is obtained at 21 and the phase difference #z-#o at 22 which are recorded. A series of measurements are taken at various depths, and the recorded graphs Fig. 2 (not shown) indicate the presence of conducting zones in the earth. In order to obtain the maximum extension of the zones a second transmitter having a frequency of 17À8Hz is employed but which is orientated differently to the first e.g. at 90 degrees and the pickups 3, 7 are either tuned to this frequency or replaced and their outputs fed to filters 11, 18 which have quartz oscillators 23, 24 tuned to this second frequency so that a second series of graphs are obtained.

Title: Improved apparatus and method for decorating sheet materials
IPC: B05D5/06
Filed: 1968-02-07
Abstract: 1,206,716. Ornamenting. COMMONWEALTH SCIENTIFIC & INDUSTRIAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATION. 7 Feb., 1968 [16 Feb., 1967], No. 6035/68. Heading B6G. [Also in Divisions B2 and D1] A liquid colour medium is sprayed on to a sheet material by applying the liquid colour to an apertured surface and directing a gas stream to displace the colour from the apertures and to deposit it on the sheet material. The colour medium may be a dye solution or paste or pig. ment suspension, a dye intermediate, coupling reagent or bleaching agent and may be applied to paper, textiles, metal and wood to produce a variety of mottled, stippled and similar effects which can be easily controlled. The surface may be a stationary surface or a moving surface such as endless belt or a disc which can rotate. The belt may be passed through the nip or nips of one or more pair of pinch rollers subsequent to passing through a container containing the colour medium. Alternatively the container may be dispensed with and the belt surface passed through the nip or nips of one or more pairs of pinch rollers after having colour medium applied thereto or the colour may be applied to one or more of the pinch rollers. Certain of the apertures in the surface may be prevented from allowing the passage of the gas stream or may be prevented from supporting the colour to obtain a pattern. The pattern can also be controlled by varying the amount and the viscosity of the colour applied to the apertured surface, by passing the sheet of material through the spray at varying speeds and by varying the velocity of the gas stream and the speed at which the gas stream moves over the apertured surface. Apparatus for carrying out the method is described (see Division D1).
