Title: Improvements in or relating to pilous surfaces
Inventor: MACINNES NORMAN MALCOLM
IPC: D04H11/00
Filed: 1962-04-19
Abstract: Pilous surfaces are produced by a process of bonding short textile fibres consisting of synthetic linear polymers to a backing, the fibres being projected (or precipitated) by the action of an electrostatic field on to the backing previously coated with a tacky adhesive which is subsequently converted from the tacky condition to a non-tacky flexible condition, characterized in that the fibres are treated prior to their electrostatic projection (or precipitation) by suspending them in an aqueous medium and causing to be precipitated in the aqueous medium, in the presence of the fibres, an inorganic salt which is a carbonate, phosphate, or sulphate of an alkaline earth metal, or of lead, tin, or zinc, or a hydroxide of the latter three metals, by introducing into the aqueous medium conventional soluble reagents for producing the required precipitate, a surface active agent being added to the aqueous medium before, during or after the precipitation, separating the fibres from the aqueous medium and drying them.  The surface active agent may be cationic, may be a quaternized polyethoxyamine of general formula: H(O.CH2.CH2)xNR(CH3)Cl(CH2CH2O) yH where R is a long chain aliphatic hydrocarbon residue and the sum of x and y is from 2 to 10, and the corresponding unquaternized polyethoxyamine.  The surface active agent may be present from 0,5-10% by weight of the fibres.  Examples of surface active agents are given.  The fibres may be of polyhexamethylene adipamide, polyhexamethylene sebacamide, poly-kappa-aminoundecanoic acid and polyepsilon-caprolactam.  The backing may be a fabric, e.g. of polyamide, pasteboard, linoleum, or a film, e.g. of polyurethane, polyester or polyvinyl chloride. Specifications 686,101 and 906,472 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to electric cables
IPC: H01B9/02
Filed: 1930-05-21
Abstract: 355,291. Cables. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd., MOODY, H. S., and SCOTT, T. R., Columbia House, Aldwych, London. May 21, 1930, No. 15624. [Class 36.] An electric cable comprises a structure or layer formed of one or more overlapping spirals of paper having a surface partly, or wholly, metallized. The structure may act as a capillary reservoir, or may be used for binding down the capillary reservoir of a cable, or for binding together the elements of a multi-core cable. In the construction of Fig. 1, metallized paper tapes 3, 4 are applied over the metallized layer 2 surrounding the dielectric of a type H cable. The tapes 3, 4 overlap for preferably half their width with the metallized surfaces m in contact, the layer 2 being thus conductively connected over the metallized surfaces of the tapes 3, 4 to the lead sheath 5. In the arrangement of Fig. 2, a similar structure is shown adapted to bind down a capillary reservoir of which the outer surface comprises tapes 6, 7, the tape 6 being metallized. The tapes 3, 4 may be of absorbent material to contribute to the capillary reservoir action on the principle described in Specification 291,871, [Class 36, Electricity, Conducting &c.]. In the construction of Fig. 3, the tapes 3, 4 are applied in pairs with the metallized surfaces engaged by overlapping. Between the alternate tapes at the surface of the structure, a wick paper 8 is applied to augment the capillary attraction at the surface as described in Specification 337,042, [Class 36, Electricity, Conducting &c.]. The construction may be applied as an inner or core reservoir as described in Specification 340,303, or as an intermediate or outer reservoir as described in Specification 291,871. Further constructions are built up from a paper roll having alternate metallized and plain portions. The roll is cut into tapes of requisite width. In Fig. 4, the tape 11 is applied about a conductor 10, and consists of a pair of metallised papers with metal faces in contact. The non-metallized parts 12 of the structure act as a core reservoir, and a metallized surface 15 surrounds the tapes over the length of the core reservoir. A metallized layer 13, which may be an ordinary intersheath, lies between the surface 15 and the outer dielectric 14. The metallized surface 15 may be omitted. In a modified construction, the tape pairs 11 are staggered so that in any cross section of the cable there is substantially the same amount of metallization.

Title: Improvements in and relating to machines for twisting yarns and the like
IPC: D01H1/10
Filed: 1944-08-16
Abstract: 590,182. Twisting yarns &c. SACO-LOWELL SHOPS. Aug. 16, 1944, No. 15645. Convention date, July 13, 1943. [Class 120 (ii)] A machine for twisting yarns &c. of the kind comprising a spindle mounted for rotation about its axis, a flier secured to said spindle, a carrier for a yarn body or cop which is normally stationary but mounted for rotation around the axis of the spindle, means for guiding yarn drawn from the body of the flier, whereby the flier revolves the yarn around the middle axis, and magnetic means for holding the carrier stationary is characterized in that the magnetic means comprises co-operating magnets, one mounted on the carrier and another supported normally stationary outside the path of rotation of the carrier, the magnets having their poles positioned so that by natural attraction the carrier is held stationary. In the modification of Figs. 1, 4, 5, yarn T from the cop 7 is led through a tensioning device O, P, spring-urged together at 57, 58, and thence through the hollow spindle 2 to a replaceable porcelain block 25, then passing through an eye g of a wire flier 26 to the winding-up device. The cop 7 is supported by a carrier 6, which is furnished with two horse-shoe magnets 27, 27', and carried by a replaceable hood 23. A layer of felt &c. 22 is positioned between the cop and the carrier which is furnished with an integral upstanding tube 8, supported by the spindle 2 through ball bearings 10, 12, the inner races of which are clamped to the spindle by a lock nut 21 and spacing collars 17, 18. The outer races of the bearings 10, 12 bear upon the tube 8 through cushioning layers d. The porcelain block 25 is carried in a slot in the spindle 2 and is held in place by sleeves 13, 14 above the whirl 5, the flier 26 being held between the sleeves 13, 14. In the normal running of the machine, the carrier is held stationary by the mutual magnetic attraction between the magnets 27, 27<1> and magnets 28, 28<1>, the magnet 28<1>, being stationary but the magnet 28 forming a part of a stop mechanism, which operates to stop the machine if, for any reason, the carrier 6 begins to rotate. When this occurs, a "kick" is supplied to the magnet 28 by the magnet 27<1>, turning the magnet-carrying lever 30 about its pivot to release latch blocks 38 to allow a spring-urged, brake to be applied to the whirl and to remove a belt-tensioning pulley 44 from contact with the driving belt 45. In the modification of Fig. 9, the spindle whirl 5' is' urged against the driving belt 45' by the co-operation of a latch lever 54 with a bracket 50 but upon rotation of the carrier 6<1> the magnet 28" is repelled to move the lever 33<1> to release the latch and allow springs 53 to move the spindle whirl 5' away from the belt 45' and stop the spindle.

Patent GB-157117-A (GB)
Abstract: 157,117. Siemens & Halske Akt.-Ges. March 26, 1918, [Convention date]. Electromagnetic and magnetic actuation.-In a relay switch of the type in which response is dependent only upon the relation between magnetic forces, return springs &c. being avoided, when the winding PIII, Fig. 1, is energized the armature engages the upper contact but when the windings PI, PII are also energized, the effect of the winding PIII is overcome and the lower contact is engaged. Various modifications of the windings of relays are shown. In one form the core y carries a second winding in series with the winding PI, PII, arranged to weaken the field due to the winding PIII. A similar effect is produced without the second winding in two modifications in one of which the armature is pivoted on a non- magnetic knife edge. In the other, the cross section of the core x is so reduced as to offer a path of high magnetic reluctance. In a further modification, the winding PII is spread over the two cores y, x, and the armature has a steel face opposite the core z. Fig. 6 shows an arrangement in which both windings are spread over all the cores, the windings PIV - - PVI corresponding to the winding PIII in Fig. 1. As shown in Fig. 7 the centre core is replaced by the armature X, the windings appropriate to the centre core, as shown for instance in Fig. 6, being formed in a bobbin S allowing sufficient play for the armature X.
