IPC: B43K5/00
Abstract: 105,317. Sitverstein, (known as Barton), S. Dec. 30, 1916. Pencil-holders; reservoir pens.-A pencil-holder adapted to be readily secured to an ordinary reservoir pen comprises a tube T to which is secured a sleeve S having threaded portions C, E on opposite sides of a central rib D. The threaded part C is screwed into a tapped hole formed in the end of the barrel G of the pen, whilst a cap F screws on to the threaded part E and forces the split end B of the tube T into gripping engagement with the pencil A. As shown in Fig. 3, the tube T is made very short when the pencil is to be attached to a self-filling reservoir pen having a collapsible reservoir H. In the case of self-filling pens of the piston type, the threaded part C is screwed into the member by which the piston is operated.

Abstract: 290,273. Woods, (nÚe Morgan), J. E., (Assignee of Woods, C. E.). May 13, 1927, [Convention date]. Waxing and polishing floors.-A machine for finishing surfaces, such as floors, comprises a surface-treating member actuated by a motor and employed in conjunction with liquid drawn from a reservoir, means being provided for heating the liquid within the reservoir. In the floor-polishing machine shown in Figs. 1 and 3, two rotary brushes 10 are driven through worm gearing from the shaft of an electric motor mounted within a casing 22. Each brush is carried by a hollow shaft 12 which communicates, by means of a coil 26, with a reservoir 36 provided in the handle. The reservoir contains wax or other surfacefinishing material which, as it passes through the coil 26, is heated by means of waste heat generated from the electric motor. The flow of liquid is controlled by means of a valve 35 in the handle and centrifugally-acting ball valves 45 in the member 11 connecting the shaft 12 with the brush 10. The machine may be modified so that the liquid in its passage to the brush 10 flows around the worm getring. In the construction shown in Fig. 5, the surface-treating material is contained in a reservoir 53 forming an extension of the motor casing and is heated by waste heat from the motor and also by an electric heating unit 68 connected in parallel with the motor. The temperature of the liquid may be controlled by a thermostat 71 adapted to regulate the amount of current supplied to the unit 68.

A device for lubricating or waxing filamentary material comprises a pair of discs inclined to the horizontal and arranged to form therebetween a slot for passage of the filamentary material, the upper disc being adapted to receive liquid and distribute it to the adjacent part of the filamentary material and means for supplying liquid to the upper disc in response to the passage of filamentary material. As shown yarn 2 passes from a supply 1 via a tensioner 4 and cleaner 5 and thence between the two discs 8, 11, the disc 8 being in the form of a cup and the disc 11 being rotatably mounted. The gap between the discs is adjustable so as to produce slight frictional contact between the yarn and the disc 11 to induce rotating motion on the latter. Paraffin emulsion is fed to the cup disc 8 via pipe 12 and valve 15 from reservoir 18 by a pump 17 under the control of cam disc 25. The valve 15 is operably connected to detector 19 such that should the yarn break the detector swings to the dotted line position thus rotating the valve 15 to disconnect the supply of liquid to thecup disc 8.

Title: Manufacture of bodies composed of carbon in a chemically reactive state
Inventor: DRYDEN IAN GORDON CUMMING
IPC: C04B33/13
Filed: 1950-05-04
Abstract: Hard compact briquettes of a highly reactive carbon which are especially suitable for use in the manufacture of carbon disulphide, are made by forming coherent bodies from a mixture of a finely ground coal starting material and an amine, which, in the liquid state, can "digest" or break down the internal structure of the coal, and heating the bodies to a carbonizing temperature of from 470 DEG -600 DEG C. at a rate such as to produce hard briquettes which have undergone no substantial swelling.  The amine by itself may be added to the starting material or it may be added in the form of an "amine digestion mixture" as described in Specification 737,261 [Group XII], or as an "extract solution" as described in Specification 649,279, whilst activating agents such as sodium carbonate or sulphur may also be added to the mixture.  The coal starting material may consist of a single coal, a mixture of coals or a coal mixed with substances such as anthracite, coke, peat or wood meal, the agglutinating value of the material being adjusted, if necessary, to fall within the range 5 to 15 by the addition of the anthracite, &c., or by oxidation. Aliphatic amines or hydroxy-amines such as n-propylamine, ethylene diamine, diethylene triamine or monoethanolamine, araliphatic amines such as benzylamine or aromatic amines such as aniline may be used singly or in mixtures of two or more in the proportion of one part of amine to from 4 to 10 parts of coal depending on the carbon content thereof.  In an example, a mixture of 90 parts of coal with a carbon content of 84.3 per cent and an agglutinating value of 10 and 10 parts of mono-ethanolamine was pressed into briquettes which were heated at 100 DEG C. per hour to 500 DEG C. and held at this temperature for two hours.  Specification 623,764 is referred to.
