Title: Liquid shampoo compositions
Filed: 1952-05-28
Abstract: Liquid shampoo compositions comprise water-soluble salts of sulphated mono-glycerides of fatty acids having 8 or more carbon atoms in the acyl group, suitably in a proportion of 5-45 per cent., an aqueous solvent medium, and a minor proportion, e.g. 0.5-20 per cent., of urea, as a stabilizer against phase separation.  The pH of the composition should be 5.5-7.0, preferably 6.0-6.5, the pH being adjusted, if necessary, by addition of an acid such as sulphuric acid or a base such as ammonium hydroxide.  The proportion of aqueous solvent medium is preferably about 40-85 per cent. by weight of the composition. Minor proportions of lower molecular weight aliphatic alcohols, preferably monohydric, e.g. methanol, ethanol and normal and iso-propanol, may be present.  In an example, 45 parts of the ammonium salt of a coconut oil fatty acids monoglyceride sulphate detergent, having the composition, 43 per cent. of the salt, 20 per cent. ethyl alcohol, 3 per cent. ammonium sulphate and 34 per cent. water, is mixed with about 2 parts of urea and 53 parts of deionized water, and the pH of the resulting liquid is adjusted to about 6.1. In other similar examples the detergent is the sodium, potassium, magnesium, or triethanolamine salt of coconut oil fatty acids monoglyceride sulphate.  The compositions may also contain up to 5 per cent. hair conditioners or superfatting materials such as higher fatty alcohols, e.g. myristyl, cetyl or stearyl alcohol, higher fatty acid amides such as myristamide, palmitamide, stearamide, palmitoylethanolamide, or myristoylpropanolamide, lecithin or egg yolk; up to 10 per cent of glycerine; preservatives such as sodium benzoate, and thickeners such as gum tragacanth or carboxymethyl cellulose.  Specification 537,255 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,040,513. Grippers for lifting articles. HESSER, MASCHINENFABRIK A.G. March 31, 1965 [June 25, 1964], No. 13558/65. Headings B8C and B8H. A machine for inserting objects into containers has a plurality of inserting devices which are adjustable in two mutually perpendicular directions and which can segregate the objects for supplying to a gripper ring which rotates simultaneously in two mutually perpendicular planes to position the object before releasing it into the container. The inserting devices 6 (Figs. 1 and 2, not shown) are arranged alongside an intermittently acting box feed means 1 and comprise an endless conveyer 11, a slide 12 and an endless conveyer 13, grippers 14, a loading arm 15 and a rocker head 16 with two gripper rings 17 (Fig. 5, not shown) and are movable in two directions along rails 18, 18<SP>1</SP> (Fig. 3, not shown) by means of electric motors 21, 22 for alignment with the boxes. Pralines are placed in rows on the conveyer 11 and transferred to the slide 12, the presence of pralines on the slide 12 being detected by a photo-cell 68 which then stops the movement of the conveyer 11 by means of a clutch and brake system, and absence of pralines on the slide 12 being detected by a feeler wire 33 (Fig. 12, not shown) which moves to operate a microswitch 41 and commence movement of the conveyer 11. The loaded slide 12 is moved under action of a cam 46 so that the pralines are aligned against a bar 72 and then slid on to the conveyer 13, which halts momentarily to receive the pralines and then carries them towards the grippers 14. A photo-cell 76 senses the leading praline, stops the conveyer 13 and pivoted arms 85, 86 on the gripper (Figs. 4-6) engage the leading praline and deposit it on a suction hole 105 on the reception surface 106 of the loading arm 15, which then pivots through 180 degrees so that the praline is located above one of the gripper rings 17 (Fig. 7, not shown) comprising a resilient body 119, a diaphragm 126 with an air flow channel 121 connected to a compressedair source and mounted on a rotatable spindle 129 driven by bevel wheels 135, 136 and connected to an extension 137 of a rotatable shaft 130. The vacuum supply is withdrawn and the praline released into the diaphragm 126 which is then constricted by a supply of the compressed air via channels 21 to grip the praline. The shaft 130 is rotated with the gripper ring 17 until stopped by the action of light-sensitive detectors 157, 158 with the praline accurately located for being deposited in the box. The amount and direction of movement of the parts described are controlled by magnetic core storage devices and punch card fed computers (not described).

Title: A new or improved automatic adjusting mechanism for brakes
IPC: F16D65/52
Filed: 1941-10-22
Abstract: 549,914. Adjusting brakes. BENDIX, Ltd., and IRVING, J. S. Oct. 22, 1941, Nos. 13589/41 and 45/42. [Class 103 (i)] An automatic adjusting device for brakes of the kind in which the shoes move circumferentially to a limited extent when applied comprises a cone or wedge which is advanced by a ratchet wheel and pawl to separate a pair of adjacent shoes abutments during release movement of the shoes if the application movement is sufficient to cause the pawl to slip a tooth of the wheel. Adjustment may be automatically prevented when the brake is hot. The brake shown is of the kind described in Specification 499,598 in which a floating shoe or each of a pair of shoes is applied by an actuating means acting on a bell-crank pivoted on the shoe end and connected to a similar lever pivoted on the other end of the shoe and adapted to engage an abutment, the shoe anchoring at one end or the other according to the direction of rotation of the drum. As shown a bell-crank 12 pivoted on one end of one 11 of a pair of shoes 10, 11 is connected by a link 13 to a bell-crank pivoted on the other end of the shoe 11. The abutment for the shoe end and for the bellcrank is one of a pair of tappets 14 slidable in a housing 15 fixed to the back plate 16 and which can be separated by advancing a cone 17 by the rotation of a ratchet wheel 21 having a spindle 20 that screws into the cone. When the brake is applied a plunger 27 held in contact with the shoe 11 by a spring 29, follows up the shoe movement and if this is excessive a pawl 25 carried by the plunger slips a tooth of the wheel 21 and turns this wheel during the release movement of the shoe. The pawl is prevented from slipping more than one tooth by engagement of the plunger with a stop 31 on the tappet 14. To avoid overadjustment consequent upon heating of the brake, movement of the plunger 27 may be prevented when the brake is hot by the insertion into a slot 32 in the plunger of a stop 33 by a bimetallic strip 36. The strip 36 may instead be arranged to disengage the pawl. Rotation of the cone 17 during automatic adjustment may be prevented by the engagement of the tappets 14 with grooves 38 in the cone but the cone can also be turned by the head 19 to effect an adjustment.
