Abstract: 1,091,382. Two-part couplings. AMP Inc. June 8, 1966 [June 28, 1965], No. 25521/66. Heading H2E. Contact is made between a conductor 5 of a flat cable 3 and that of wire 18 by a brass connecter (11) (Fig. 1, not shown). This is generally U-shaped in cross-section, with a bent contact member (27) (Fig. 3, not shown) struck upwards from its base to above its sidewalls. A rectangular hole is made in the flat cable and its conductors bared, then it is applied to an apertured panel 1 and an insulating block (15) (Fig. 1, not shown) with connecters (11) held within it by engagement of tongues struck from the connector on ledges 10, 12, is pushed into the aperture. The contact member (27) of each connector then forces a conductor 5 against the wall 38 of the aperture in the panel 1, and makes electrical contact with it. At its other end the connector is crimped to a wire 18. The contact member (27) may be of varying width along its length, so that after bending its end overlaps the sides of the slot from which it was struck, and is supported by them when pressure is applied to the humped section.

Classes 42 (1) and 140. [Also in Group XXX] A flexible strip material is produced by superimposing 3 or more layers of textile impregnated with a thermoplastic material, e.g. polyvinyl chloride, and securing a binding layer or strip of the same thermoplastic material around the edges of said textile layers by high-frequency dielectric heating applied under mechanical pressure, applied by electrodes 3, 31 and 4, 41, the heating being delayed until sufficient mechanical pressure has been applied to close surface air gaps in the textile layers to minimize sparking, so as to hold the edges of the layers together in a composite strip. The binding layers may either be two separate U-shaped strips 2, 2<SP>1</SP> applied around each of the edges of the multilayer strip 1, or two sheets 5, 6, one (5) applied around both edges, on one face, and overlapping the second sheet (6) which covers the other face. The material may then be passed through a series of rollers and dielectric heaters to fuse the remainder of the material to form a homogeneous strip. The Specification contains a detailed description of the apparatus of Specifications 781,444 and 781,445 [both in Group XI].

Abstract: 335,342. Gramophone Co., Ltd., and Whitaker, A. Aug. 22, 1929. Plug couplings.-A plug and socket coupling for connecting the aerial and earth wires to a receiving- set is so constructed that when the detachable member is withdrawn the aerial and earth wires are brought into direct contact within it. As shown in Fig. 1, the receiving-set 9 is provided with socket 7 and plug 8 co-operating with a plug 4 and socket 5 mounted in a detachable case 3 and connected by leads 1, 2 to the aerial and earth wires. When the case 3 is detached from the set, the aerial is earthed by the aotion of a spring tilting the socket 5 to make contact with the plug 4. When, however, the plugs and sockets are in operative engagement, the socket 5 moves into a position parallel with the plug 4, and the aerial and earth wires make independent connection to the set. In a modification shown in Fig. 3, the, socket 5 is fixed, and the aerial is earthed by a shoulder 12 on a spring plunger. When the plugs are inserted, the plunger is pushed back and the aerial to earth connection is broken.

Refrigerating, absorption systems for. - Continuous-cycle inert gas systems are initially charged with inert gas at atmospheric pressure, and the vapour space of the generator and condenser is greater than the space in the working circuit of the inert gas. The residual air in the apparatus after charging with solution may be used as the inert gas. The generator 1, Fig. 1, in the form of a heated coil, is connected with a horizontal absorber tube 7 through pipes 11, 12, 13 formed into a heat exchanger for liquor. The inert gas flowing from the absorber is heated in a conduit 9 and cooled in a conduit 10, as described in Specification 257,458, and the condenser 3 is connected with the evaporator 6 through a liquid seal pipe 5. The weak liquor pipe 13 is cooled also by the water jacket of the absorber. The gas mixture passes in counterflow over the liquid in the absorber, whereby turbulence of the gas flow is induced. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 2, the inert gas pipe 10, the condenser 3, and the absorber 7 are aircooled coils, and a heat exchanger 15, 16 for gas is provided. Excess refrigerant and liquor are returned from the evaporator to the absorber system by a pipe 18. The liquor pipe 12 is formed into a coil inside the pipe 11, above which is arranged an electric heating element for the generator 1. The liquid and gas are in counterflow in the evaporator and absorber.

Corrugated at least partly thermoplastic pile yarns are bonded to an at least partly thermoplastic backing by the energy of sonic or ultra-sonic vibrations. A thermoplastic backing 26 is fed intermittently by a conveyor 24 and a roll 22 that acts as an anvil and is situated beneath a horn 14 that is ultrasonically vibrated by a vibrator 10 and is movable vertically by pneumatic cylinders 19 to bond corrugated pile material 30 to the backing 26. The pile material is fed through tubes 28 in a member 27 that is reciprocated horizontally when the horn 14 is still in contact with the pile, to draw out fresh tuft lengths. A number of horns may be arranged endwise and the member 27 may be reciprocated different amounts to draw out different tuft length. The tufts may also be fed positively through the tubes 28 by a pattern mechanism which provides tufts of different lengths. The pile may be cut or uncut and other means may be used to corrugate the pile, e.g. a conveyor of blades operating with a presser blade. The vibrator may also be stationary and the anvil movable. Various embodiments of materials for the backing and pile yarns are given.
