Title: A method of and apparatus for gauging the thickness of applied coatings
Inventor: DREWITT FREDERICK ERNEST
IPC: G01B5/06
Filed: 1955-05-04
Abstract: 817,631. Gauging thickness of coatings. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. July 3, 1956 [May 4, 1955; Sept. 24, 1955], Nos. 12984/55 and 27289/55. Class 106 (2). A method of determining the thickness of a coating applied to a base material of a hardness or nature different from that of the coating comprises effecting a penetration through the coating by an abrading tool and utilizing the difference of nature to give an indication of the movement the tool has made to penetrate the coating. An electric motor 4 is mounted in a casing 1, with its rotor spindle 5, 6, vertical. At its upper end 5, the spindle is ground flat and acts against the plunger 7 of a depth gauge 8, the plunger being acted on by a spring 7a. At its lower end 6, the spindle carries an abrading tool 12 in the form of a rotary dental burr, having a partly spherical end of less than 1/ 32  inch radius. The spindle 5, 6, has a small end play in its bearings, which is sufficient to cover the thickness of the thickest coating likely to be measured. In order to raise the spindle 5, 6, and thus the tool 12, a rod 15 with a stepped end portion 15a is mounted under a flanged ring 13 secured to the spindle 6. In use the tool is lowered on to the surface by rotation of the rod 15 and the depth gauge set to zero. The motor 4 is then started and the tool gradually abrades away the coating under the action of the spring 7a and the weight of the armature. The speed of penetration is substantially constant until the base material is met, when there is a marked retardation in progress and the note of the tool changes. The motor is then stopped and the depth noted. Also described are a tool which operates on non-conductive coatings on a conductive base material and gives an indication by means of a lamp, when the material is reached, and a tool which can be operated by a spring motor. The drilling head may also be driven by compressed air, this being especially suitable for use under water. The apparatus may also include means for recording on a tape, the time for definite stages of penetration, e.g. every 0.001 inch.

Abstract: 659,152. Vehicle hand grip. CALABRESE, V. May 17, 1949, No. 13146. Convention date, June 10, 1948. [Class 103(iv)] [Also in Group XVIII] In a handgrip with variable indicating means actuated by displacements of its body 1 when it is used as a support in a vehicle, the indicating means comprises a drum 7 or an endless band mounted on rollers, the drum 7 or at least one of the rollers being engaged for intermittent angular displacement by feeding mechanism 10, 11 connected to a rod 4 of a supporting member 3. The body 1 is pivotally mounted on the support 3 by the rod 4 so that it has a limited axial movement and this axial movement rotates the drum 7 or one roller through the feeding mechanism which comprises a spring arm 11 attached to the body 1 and rod 4 and also to a spring member 10 which has two arms positioned by abutments 13, 14 on the body 1 to grip a square end 8 of the drum shaft to prevent unwanted rotation. When the handgrip is pulled down, the member 10 is moved relatively upwards by the arm 11 and a tooth 9 on one arm of the member 10 rotates the drum. The body 1 has transparent windows on each side enclosing the sign.

Abstract: 1,184,162. Coated woven mesh fabric. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES OF AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND Ltd. 19 March, 1968 [17 April, 1967], No. 13231/68. Heading B2E. A coated woven mesh fabric is produced by applying to the fabric a polymeric coating material as a paste-like dispersion in a plasticizer therefor having a viscosity between 10 and 500 poise under the conditions at which it is applied, subjecting the coated fabric to a wiping action of such intensity that apertures remain in substantially all the openings of the mesh, and then fusing or gelling the coating. The woven mesh may have openings of linear dimensions from 0.5 to 3 millimeters and may be of synthetic or natural fibres, e.g. glass fibres, metal wires, or polyethylene terephthalate fibre. The polymeric coating material may be a vinyl chloride polymer, e.g. the homopolymer, or copolymer of vinyl chloride with vinyl acetate or vinylidene chloride. Particularly with metal substrates, an epoxy resin and hardener, together with conventional additives, may be incorporated into the vinyl chloride polymer plastisol, or may be applied to metal substrates as a primer coat. The vinyl chloride polymer coating may be fused by heating to between 140 and 200‹ centigrade for 2 to 7 minutes. The wiping action may be carried out by passage between a pair of opposed rollers with a tightly adjusted nip.

Filed: 1976-04-01
Abstract: 1537328 Facsimile INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP 1 April 1976 [12 May 1975] 13281/76 Heading H4F A digital binary tone composite image producing apparatus is described. Binary tone bit streams derived from raster scanning of a scene are applied as input to an accumulating memory 15 in which an image is to be composed by combining independently orientable and scalable image segments, from a "raster input source" 1 Fig. 1, to a reproduction scale determining unit 3, The operation of the device is controlled by a set of user supplied parameters 33. An operational example illustrating all the various options is described with reference to Fig. 7. A bit stream representing a page of print is loaded into the accumulating store in step 1 (the parametric requirements for each step are shown to the right). In step 2 a desired section of print is read out of the store and fed back to the raster input source. The store is emptied in step 3. In step 4 a 90 degrees rotation is effected to the section fed back, which is loaded into the lower half of the store. A diagram is reduced in size, rotated through 90 degrees and mirror imaged into the upper half of the store, subsequent to appearing as a fresh binary tone input bit stream at the raster input source, in step 5. The contents of the store is now ready for output in raster scanned binary store bit stream form from a "raster output sink". Figs. 2 to 6 (not shown) are employed in the description of options and data handling techniques. Figs. 8 to 13 (not shown) are employed in the more detailed description of the circuit components of Fig. 1. Image data is handled in serial form through the arithmetic processing stages and store accessing circuits are inherent in the apparatus.
