Title: Improvements in or relating to furnaces and the like
IPC: F27B7/28
Filed: 1925-10-27
Abstract: 264,919. Martin, G., and Taylor, J. D. Oct. 27, 1925. Walls of rotary or other furnaces, are constructed of a skeleton framework of metal enclosed in concrete cement or other material of low heat conductivity. As shown in a rotary furnace the framework is built up of T-bars 2, 3 connected by channel bars or straps 4, 5, and is covered both outside and inside with layers of concrete cement 9, 8. Layers of cement 10 and 11 may also be applied within the structure of the framework, and the space between these layers may be filled with kieselguhr, slag-wool, coke, brick or other heat-insulating material. The inner layer 8 of cement is protected by a lining of fire-brick 13. The structure may be strengthened by metal rings 6, 7, and each element of the framework may be wrapped with or embedded in heat-insulating or fire-proof material. Alternatively the walls may be built up of pre-formed longitudinal beams each consisting of a cement-coated skeleton framework. These beams may be of rectangular or triangular cross-section, and may be surrounded by a network 26, Fig. 8, which assists in retaining the concrete in position. The beams for cylindrical walls are made of wedge shape, e.g. by applying tapering layers of cement to the sides as shown in Fig. 8, and they may be made of different depths so that when assembled, the cylinder presents on its outside a series of longitudinal grooves into which fit projections on the outer retaining-bands. The beams are assembled to break joint, and enlargements and contractions in the diameter of the assembled structure may be formed by offsetting portions of the beams. Instead of using outer retaining-bands the beams may be secured together by flat ties screwed thereto, and in the case of rotary furnaces this construction facilitates the fitting of internal lifter-bars. In a further construction the ends of skeleton beams are fitted into slotted binding- rings, and the structure is then coated with cement; or the walls may be built up of annular sections.

Abstract: 925,189. Lens turret cameras. ELECTRIC & MUSICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Aug. 14, 1959 [Aug. 22, 1958], No. 26986/58. Class 97 (1). A camera has means for moving a lens carrier to bring a selected lens into operative position and means for varying the length of the light path between the operative lens and the image-receiving surface so as to focus a scene transmitted by the operative lens, both means being coupled to a single adjusting member in such a manner that during one part of the movement of the adjusting member only the focusing means is operative. The camera may be a television camera having a rotatable lens turret and a pickup tube axially displaceable for focusing. As shown, the turret 3 is rotatable by a shaft 5 carrying the driven element 17 of a Geneva movement, the driving element being a crank-pin 11 rotatable by a shaft 1. This crank-pin is also connected through a pivoted bell-crank lever 12 to a carriage 6 supporting a pick-up tube 7. Rotation of pin 11 from the position shown first moves carriage 6 to its extreme left position. Pin 11 then engages a slot 18 in element 17 and rotates this element to change the operative lens, carriage 6 being moved during such rotation to its extreme right-hand position. For the remainder of the revolution element 17 remains stationary while carriage 6 continues to move towards its central position. Notches 8 and a spring loaded bellcrank 9 index the turret in the correct positions, the bell-crank being released by a cam 19 as pin 11 engages a slot in element 17.

Title: Bonding silicone rubber to solid materials
IPC: C09J7/50
Filed: 1955-09-22
Abstract: Silicone rubber is bonded to a solid surface by coating the surface with certain titanic acid esters which may be partly hydrolysed or may be mixed with a partly hydrolysed alkyl polysilicate, and applying to the coated surface a silicone rubber composition containing 1-10 per cent of a partly hydrolysed alkyl polysilicate. The titanic acid esters are compounds of the general formular Ti(OR)4 or hydrocarbon soluble partial hydrolysates thereof, where R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical, or a hydroxylated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical with less than 4 hydroxyl groups per radical, of less than 13 carbon atoms.  The silicone rubber is a toluene-soluble organo-polysiloxane of general formula <FORM:0778348/III/1> where R1 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical and n has an average value of 1.99-2.  The silicone rubber layer is vulcanized by heating.  The backing material may be of metal (including car bodies), ceramic, glass, one of a number of cellulose esters or ethers or vinyl resins, polystyrene, polyamides, polyesters, polyethylene, fluorocarbon polymers, organic elastomers, siloxane and sulphur containing elastomers, acrylic polymers and copolymers, natural and synthetic organic fabrics, or wood or may be an oriented film of polyethylene glycol terephthalate.  The R group may be methyl, ethyl, decyl, octylene glycol, 2-ethyl hexyl, dodecyl, isopropyl or any mixture thereof.  The R1 group may be alkyl, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, cycloaliphatic or alkenyl.  The preferred alkyl polysilicates are methyl, ethyl or butyl polysilicates or mixtures thereof.  Various fillers and vulcanizing agents such as one of a number of specified organic peroxides or those given in Specifications 764,246 and 743,950 [both in Group IV(a)] may be added to the siloxane mixture which may be applied, in solution in benzene or toluene or without dilution, by spraying, dipping or doctoring.  A further layer of a silicone adhesive, e.g. of the kind described in Specification 767,797 [Group IV(a)] may be applied to the first silicone layer.
