Title: Improvements in or relating to processes for the decorative enamelling of domestic appliances
IPC: C23D5/06
Filed: 1966-01-24
Abstract: In the decorative enamelling of domestic appliances such as ovens, a carrier enamel slip is mixed with a binder solution, applied to the appliance and dried; a synthetic plastics foil in which a vitreous or enamel colour layer is embedded is then applied to the carrier enamel layer and the two layers jointly fired during which the decorative colour layer sinks into the carrier enamel layer and the foil evaporates or burns away without appreciable residue. The binder solution used is an aqueous or alcoholic suspension or solution of organic binders volatile above 200 DEG  C., preferably an aqueous suspension of methyl cellulose, polyvinylacetate and/or glycols and other polyhydric alcohols. The drying step is at 80-120 DEG  C. which gives a water impermeable surface to give a good grip for the plastics foil.

Abstract: 1381044 Stereoscopy PHILIPS ELEC-  TRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 26 Jan 1972 [29 Jan 1971] 3622/72 Heading G2J A point source, such as an X-ray tube, is moved in a circular path 11, Fig.1, and at a number of positions such as 12, 13, radiographs 14 are made of an object 10. A point light source 1, Fig. 2, is then focused by lens 2 to a point 4 and a corresponding radiograph 14 interposed. The source 1 is moved to another position on the circle 3 and a corresponding radiograph 14 interposed. If the source 1 is stroboscopic and radiographs 14 are on a disc rotated at a corresponding speed to the movement of source 1 a three dimensional image can be observed and any plane 30 thereof may be photographed to produce an image 10' of a desired sectional plane. Alternatively the source 1 may be used with one radiograph 14 to produce a partially exposed photograph at 30, the source 1 being subsequently moved to a different position along the circle 3, the corresponding radiograph 14 substituted and the photograph at 30 re-exposed and so on for as many positions of source 1 as there were originally radiographs 14 produced by the X-ray tube moving around circle 11. Alternatively, the series of radiographs 14 may be produced on a single transparency at spaced positions and a series of point sources corresponding to the various positions of source 1 on circle 3 simultaneously illuminated with the light from each source passing through the appropriate transparency. To prevent stray light interference a diaphragm may be placed at position 11' having apertures corresponding to the positions 4 and a lens used to re-image the three-dimensional field beyond the diaphragm. Instead of using an X-ray tube the original images may be formed using particle radiation, optical radiation or by calculation using a computer.
