Title: Improvements relating to combined washing and wringing machines
IPC: D06F45/18
Filed: 1919-06-10
Abstract: 144,098. Forrester, H. J. C., (Apex Appliance Co.). June 10, 1919. Washing - machines with rocking receptacles; driving- gear for wringers.-In a combined washing and wringing machine, the wringer is driven through hand-reversible gearing and a slip coupling, and the washing-receptacle is thrown into and out of driving-connexion by a handle which, in the non-driving position, permits a gravity latch to engage the receptacle and hold it stationary. The wringer 42 is mounted on an arm 46 swivelled at 41 so that it may be turned to either side from the position shown. It is locked in any of its positions by a pawl 86 pivoted on the arm 46 and engaging a fixed notched plate 45. A constantly driven shaft 51 is provided with a sliding clutch 69 adapted to engage either of the loose bevel-wheels 53, 54 in mesh with a bevelwheel 59 on a shaft 58. The clutch is controlled by a handle 78 on a spindle 76 having an eccentric pin 74 engaging a groove in the clutch. The spindle is urged towards the shaft 51 by a spring 82 and the clutch is locked in its neutral or either driving position by co-operating projections 78a, 79 on the gear case 48 and handle boss respectively. Between the shaft 58 and the wringer shaft 62 is interposed a slip coupling consisting of a sleeve 60 having wedge-shaped teeth engaged by similar teeth 66 on a drum 63 fixed to a sleeve 61 slidable on the squared wringer shaft 62 and influenced by a spiral spring 65 between the two sleeves. The shaft 51 is driven through bevelgearing from a motor-driven loose spur-wheel 24 which may be slid on its shaft 23 to engage a clutch fixed to the shaft when it is desired to drive the swinging washing-tub 21. This movement of the wheel 24 is effected through forks by turning a rod 101 provided with a pivoted handle 110 passing through a fixed yoke 111 and a yoke 112 pivoted at 113 and formed at one end as a latch to co-operate with an arcuate rack 116 on the tub. In the position shown in Fig. 4, the handle is to the right of a tooth 117 on the fixed yoke and so occupies a lower position to enable the yoke 112 to fall somewhat and the latch to engage and hold the tub. If the handle is lifted and moved to the left of the tooth 117, the yoke 112 is raised to release the latch, and the spurwheel 24 is shifted so as to oscillate the tub.

Title: Process of working up scrap linoleum of all kinds into new linoleum
IPC: D06N1/00
Filed: 1920-05-29
Abstract: 158,210. Scholz, V., and Tiedemann, C. [Firm of]. Jan. 24, 1920, [Convention date]. Addition to 143,561. Recovering material by mechanical means.- In the process of treating scrap linoleum, &c. with small quantities of organic solvents to enable it to be reworked, the scrap is submitted to the action of the vapour of the solvents under atmospheric or higher pressure, instead of to the action of liquid solvents as described in the parent Specification. The scrap is placed on a sieve B in a vessel A capable of withstanding an internal pressure of five atmospheres, in the bottom chamber C of which is a steam coil D for vaporizing the solvent. Any organic solvent may be employed that softens linoxyn and alone or in admixture with other solvents vaporizes at a temperature insufficient to decompose the cork. The vapour rises through the scrap, and if the operation is being conducted at atmospheric pressure, escapes by a tube P to a condenser Q, whence it flows to a reservoir S and by a pipe T past a cock W back to the chamber C. If the operation is to be carried out at higher pressure, a cock N in the pipe P is closed and the vapour escapes through a weighted valve 0. The cock W is closed and cocks X, V are opened and the liquid is forced into the chamber C by a pump Y. The chamber C may be periodically emptied into a tank 1 with a strainer 2, whence the solvent is pumped by a pump 4 into the reservoir S. When soft, the scrap is discharged through a door I, and passed through sifting-worms to separate the pulp from the jute backing. The solvent is recovered and the pulp regenerated and reworked.

Filed: 1968-03-28
Abstract: 1,148,709. Polyurethane filaments. ALGEMENE KUNSTZIJDE UNIE N.V. 28 March, 1968 [5 April, 1967], No. 15013/68. Heading B5B. [Also in Divisions C3 and D1] Elastic polyurethane threads are made by extruding a liquid polyurethane prepolymer into a coagulating bath containing a compound which reacts with the prepolymer to form larger molecules, removing the threads formed, bring- ing them into contact with a dyestuff solution and finally subjecting them to a heat-treatment whereby the polymer chain lengthening initiated in the coagulation bath is completed. The dyebath solution preferably uses as solvent a liquid which is at least partially miscible with the coagulating bath, and preferably is the liquid which forms the main component thereof. A finishing agent, e.g. a polysiloxane, optionally together with other conventional finishing agents may also be incorporated into the dyebath solution. In the examples polyester and polyether type prepolymers with terminal NCO groups are extruded into a coagulating bath containing ethylene diamine, dyed with a phthalocyanine or pre-metallized dyestuff and finally heated at 200‹ C. The coagulating bath may alternatively contain one or more thiols, triamines, phenols or amidines as the said compound.

Filed: 1974-04-08
Abstract: 1427682 Sweet wrapping devices TENCHI KIKAI KK 8 April 1974 [7 April 1973] 15421/74 Heading B8C In a sweet wrapping device, sweets are deposited on to a conical rotating disc 2 and are thrown under gravity and centrifugal force to the periphery of the disc where they pass through an opening 3e into a circular guide channel 3 running around the periphery of the disc. The sweets are transported around the guide channel by the periphery of a rotating plate 3c, which forms the base of the channel, to a tangentially arranged feed channel 8. The sweets are propelled to the terminal portion of the feed channel which has an opening for the lateral removal of the endmost sweet (see Fig. 3, not shown). Located in front of the opening is a member 12 adapted to receive a sheet of wrapping paper b fed by rolls 10, 11 and cut from a continuous length by knife 13. Each sweet, with the wrapper on its leading face, is laterally removed from the feed channel by one of a set of gripping fingers 19, 20 mounted radially on a first vertical continuously rotating turret 15 (see Figs. 5 and 6, not shown). The fingers are actuated to their closed and open positions by rollers 26 and 29 which engage a fixed face cam 21 and a fixed grooved cam 22 respectively. The sweets are transferred by the first turret through a first curved path defined by folding members 32, 33, 34, 35 (35, not shown) which serve to fold the wrapper around the leading face and adjacent four faces of each sweet as shown in Fig. 15III, leaving the rear face uncovered. At the end of the first curved path the sweets are taken over by the clamping members 43, 44 of a second continuously rotating vertical turret and transferred along a second curved path defined by folding members 65 and 66 (65, not shown) and past an oscillating pivoting folding member 62 which between them serve to fold the projecting ends of each wrapper on to the as yet uncovered face of its sweet. The members 43, 44 are mounted upon shafts rotatable relative to the turret and the member 43 is fixed whilst the member 44 is pivotable (for the rotating and pivoting mechanism see Figs. 7 and 8, not shown). The members grip each sweet by the side faces covered by folds b 3 , b 4 , b 5  and b 6  and immediately after initial contact with the sweet the members are rotated to cause the uncovered face and the projecting ends of the wrapper to point outwardly where they can be operated on by the members 62, 65 and 66. At the end of the second path the sweets are dumped upon a guide base 72 along which they are propelled in groups a 1  by arms 73 carried by chains 72 and actuated to the raised operative position by a guide bar 74. Successive groups of sweets are propelled laterally along a transverse guide 75 to a, probably, automatic boxing device by a plate 76 pivoted in synchronization with the arrival of the groups.
