IPC: C23C22/04
Filed: 1921-05-02
Abstract: 179,811. Howse, G. H. May 2, 1921. Paints and coating-compositions.-A coating- composition to be applied to steel and iron surfaces to prevent rust and to convert existing rust into an inert form comprises an axy-acid of phosphorous, an oxide or hydrate of chromium, and a solvent of these, with or without oxides, hydrates, or chromates of manganese, lead, or nickel. According to one example, a mixture of lead oxide and orthophosphoric acid is dissolved in a mixture of wood spirit, acetone, ethyl alcolhol, and methylated spirits, and a mixture of chromium oxide and phosphorous acid is added thereto. According to another example, chromic hydroxide is digested for 24 hours with boiled linseed oil or other drying oil, with or without heating, orthophosphoric acid is then added and the mixture is agitated. Pigments possessing rust-reducing properties may be added. The composition after drying may be covered with a coating of paint, varnish, enamel, or the like.

Title: Improvements in or relating to machines or apparatus for attaching labels, wrappers or similar coverings to canisters, containers, cartons and the like
IPC: B65C3/12
Filed: 1924-05-24
Abstract: 236,019. Bevan, C. May 24, 1924. Labelling.-In a machine for attaching labels &c. to canisters &c. of the kind in which a cylinder or cylinders communicate with an air pump or the equivalent and have associated means for supplying adhesive, the labels carried round the cylinders are subjected to alternate suction and pressure to transfer the labels to and from the cylinders and to the cannisters. A label from a pack 10 is drawn against the cylinder 13 by suction through holes 14 and is carried round the cylinder until the two rows of holes in cylinders 13, 23 meet, when the label is transferred to the second cylinder 23. As the label is carried round by the second cylinder a gumming-roller 34 is lifted into contact with it by an air cylinder 31 in which a vacuum is created through a passage 32 registering with a curved port 29 in a non-rotatable cover. As the end of the label is reached, the gumming-roller is pushed away by a cam 38. In the meantime, the label is carried to a canister 40, which has been fed by a device 46, and the label is pressed into contact with the canister by revolving between the two cylinders 23, 41. An air port in the cylinder 23 is also open to admit a blast of air to the row of holes to act as a brush on the leading edge of the label. As soon as the canister is labelled the cylinder 41 is moved away by a cam 43 acting against a roller 44 and the canister falls to a shoot 50.

Title: Improvements in and relating to appliances for the admission of steam to vertical gas retorts or the like
IPC: C10J3/00
Filed: 1927-05-14
Abstract: 293,160. Coe, A. May 14, 1927. Coke ovens; retorts.-An improved system for supplying steam to a number of vertical gas retorts 3, Figs. 1 and 4, or to coke ovens, is characterized in that each retort is individually controlled by a loosely-fitted interchangeable calibrated throttling device 1, Fig. 1, with a nickelbushed orifice 2, each service pipe 4 being connected through a cock 16 to the steam main 19 in which is disposed a main control valve 17 combined with indicating means, and the usual reducing-valve 18. The throttle device 1 can be readily taken out for interchange, or for the release of blockage of tar, on removing the cap 15<A>. The control valve 17, Figs. 2 and 4, is preferably of the cone or parabolic tapering lift type adjusted by a hinged lever arm 22 which after adjustment is folded down, as shown, and enclosed in a locked cover 25 to prevent unauthorized adjustment. The indicating-means associated with the control valve consists of a Bourdon tube gauze 32 with scales calibrated to correspond with several sizes of the calibrated throttling devices and having a steam-pressure operated pointer 34 and one or more coloured hand-set pointers 36 so that any variation in the steam pressure, or any variation in the flow of a predetermined quantity of steam to each retort, causing a banking up of pressure, is shown upon the calibrated dial. Any retort not receiving its quota of steam can thus be readily detected and the variation quickly corrected on manipulation of the cocks 16.

Title: Improvements in or relating to variable-speed gearing
IPC: F16H15/14
Filed: 1957-04-24
Abstract: 859,570. Variable-speed gearing. BEIER INFINITELY VARIABLE GEAR CO. Ltd. April 24, 1957, No. 13114/57. Class 80 (2). In an automatic or manually-controlled steplessly variable friction gear of the kind wherein groups of coned discs 25 splined on radially adjustable planetary or non-planetary countershafts 24 are in interpenetrating frictional engagement with the rims of discs 21 slidably keyed on at least one carrier 12 on one of the gear shafts, the discs 21 of each carrier are divided into two groups arranged one on each side of an external central annular projection 23 on the carrier 12. Increased load capacity and ratio range are thereby obtained. Two constructions are described, in one, Figs. 9-17, not shown, the countershafts planetate and their radial movement, for ratio shift, is controlled automatically by centrifugal masses in a manner identical with that described in Specification 859,569, the gear being driven through a separate planetary reverse gear. In Figs. 1 and 2, the countershafts 24 are stationary, apart from radial adjustment for ratio shift, which is effected only manually. Two disc carriers 12 are freely mounted on an input (or output) shaft 1 and are in driving connection therewith through pressure plates 20 which have limited circumferential freedom at 20a with the carriers 12, and facial inclined toothed connections 6, 14 with the shaft to provide torque-responsive axial loading on the friction discs, together with initial spring loading 13. The countershafts 24 are drivingly connected to an output (or input) shaft 37 through gear-wheels 33, 34, 36 and are carried on arms 27 on parallel shafts 27a which, to adjust the countershafts 24 radially for ratio shift, are turned about inner shafts 28 by manually rocking a shaft 31a carrying a toothed segment 31 meshing, through a common wheel 30, segments 29 on the shafts 27. The wheels 33, 34 remain continuously in mesh as the countershafts pivot about the shafts 28. The spline roots of the discs 25 are convex to permit obliquity, and the rimmed discs and cones 21, 25 may be interchanged.

A moulded resin rotor plate 1 of a switch for a television tuner, for example, has contacts formed thereon by depositing conductive material on raised dome-like projections 2. The contacts may be interconnected by shallow grooves 3 which are also conductive coated, and holes 4 are provided to receive wire terminals of small components, such as coils or capacitors, which are carried on the plate. The domes 2 co-operate with stationary spring contacts (not shown). A suitable contact metal may be first deposited on the domes 2 and grooves 3 (preferably rhodium, palladium or tin-nickel) and then a thin overlay of soldering metal such as silver or tin may be applied which may be removed by the switch-wiping action leaving the contact metal exposed on the domes 2.
