Filed: 1933-08-19
Abstract: 412,437. Golf clubs. FITZPATRICK H. D., 94, Hope Street, Glasgow, and CLIFTON, Ltd., Martin's Bank Chambers, Victoria Street, Douglas, Isle of Man. Aug. 19, 1933, No. 23173. [Class 132 (ii).] In golf clubs wherein a resilient sleeve is provided between the shaft and club head, the sleeve is formed by winding resilient material under tension on to the shaft or on to a ferrule fitted to the shaft. The resilient material which may consist of rubber thread, cord, tape or the like, with or without the addition of cotton, cellulose or other thread or fibre, is wound in one or more layers 4, Fig. 1, on to a reduced tapered portion 3 of the shaft 1. To facilitate adhesion of the windings, the part 3 and, or, the windings may be treated with rubber solution or other adhesive, and the part 3 may be helically grooved, Fig. 4. A protective covering 6, Figs. 6, 8, of thin rubber solution or latex, gutta-percha moulded in position, or a thin rubber sheath, is provided over the windings, treated with a halide if desired, and secured to the shaft by clamp rings 7, screws or pins. The shaft, which may be of wood or steel, is secured to the club head in any suitable manner. A wooden club-head is bored at 9, Fig. 6, and the shaft driven in and secured by a screw 12 passing through a preferably elongated hole in the tubular shaft to allow torsional play thereof. Alternatively the end 3 of the shaft may be threaded to engage a screwed ferrule housed in a recess in the sole of the club. When applied to an iron, the shaft 1 is driven into a socket 15, Fig. 8, and secured by a rivet 17, passing through holes 18 in the club head, which are preferably elongated to allow for torsional play between the shaft and head. When the resilient cushion is applied to a metal ferrule secured to the shaft, the latter is fitted to the club head in any of the above described ways.

Title: Improvements in and relating to mechanical storage equipment
IPC: E04H6/36
Filed: 1946-08-07
Abstract: 653,496. Travelers. AUGER, H. Aug. 7, 1946, No. 23377. [Class 104 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXII] The invention relates to conveyerplatform storage systems in which the stored objects, such as motor cars, are carried on platforms arranged in sideby-side ranks, the platforms being movable along the ranks and transferred from one rank to another at convenient locations, preferably at the two ends of the ranks. The invention consists in that the crossover carriage is driven by a connection to a flexible band (chain) passing round spaced supports (sprockets) so that at the start of the traversing movement the velocity of the carriage gradually rises, as the point of connection moves around the end support, to the speed of the " flat " of the band; at the end of the traversing movement a corresponding slowing-down occurs when the point of connection moves around the other support for the flexible band. For the cross-over traversing movement the supports for the flexible band may be bodily movable as described in Specification 653,492, but for movement along the ranks only a band with fixed supports is to be employed. As shown, the cross-over traverser consists of three carriages 5a, 5b, 5c, Fig. 2, with rollers 6 engaging cross-girders 4a, 4b, 4c and provided with seatings 16a, 16b for the platforms, the carriages being connected by arms 11 to endless chains 9 passing around sprocket-wheels 7, 8. The sprocket-wheels 7 are mounted on a shaft 13 driven through gearing 14 by a constantspeed electric motor 15 which may be used to propel the platforms, as described in Specification 653,492. The platforms have rollers engaging the channel rails 19a, 19b of the main tracks and are received by angle-rails 17b, Fig. 5a, which are then lowered to deposit the two platforms la, 1b (shown dotted) on the seatings 16a, 16b. The two platforms 1a, 1b are for the near and offside wheels. The rails 17b are gapped to allow the passage of the seatings 16a, 16b of the cross-over carriage, and are carried by arms 21 mounted on shafts 23, 24, the latter being carried by slides 25 connected by rods 30 and cranks 29 to a motordriven shaft 28. When each rank has a vacant space, the cross-over carriages at each end may be operated simultaneously. The platforms uncouple and couple automatically at the crossover locations (see Group XXXII).

Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for detecting the average phase of telegraph signals
Inventor: GRISDALE GEORGE LAMBERT
IPC: H04L7/027
Filed: 1962-06-20
Abstract: 957,251. Telegraphy. MARCONI CO. Ltd. April 2, 1963 [June 20, 1962], No. 23738/62. Heading H4P. [Also in Division H2] A telegraph receiver includes a low frequency resonator comprising a resonator resonant at a frequency which is high relative to the telegraph element frequency, a modulator fed with signals at the predetermined element frequency and also with oscillations from a local oscillator at a frequency differing from the resonant frequency by the element frequency, and a demodulator fed with the output from the resonator and also with oscillations from the local oscillator. A telegraph receiver 2 which may be a frequency shift radio receiver, produces a D.C. start stop telegraph signal such as is shown in Fig. 1, in which AB are synchronizing pulses and DE is a series of signal elements to be sampled. In a known apparatus (Fig. 2), the synchronizing pulses excite a resonator 3, until an amplitude detector 4 is energized to open agate 5 which then passes the output of the resonator after being limited at 6. This gated signal is then used in to synchronize a sampling unit in known manner. The invention provides a portable low frequency resonator to replace the resonator 3 in such a system. An input frequency ft constituted by the synchronizing pulses AB is combined in a modulator 7 with a relatively high frequency fo from an oscillator 8 and passed to a resonator 9 which resonates at the combined frequency. The output of the resonator 9 is then demodulated by beating it with the high frequency fo in a demodulator 10 the output of which is fed to the detector 4 and the limiter 6 of the known apparatus. A phase shift circuit 11 may also be provided. A circuit including piezo-electric crystals as the oscillator 9 and resonator 8 and, transistor amplifiers as the modulator 7 and demodulator 10, and a condenser C 3  as the phase correction circuit 11 is detailed (Fig. 5, not shown).

Abstract: 1,013,012. Injection moulding. COMPAGNIE DE SAINT-GOBAIN. June 20, 1962 [June 20, 1961], No. 23747/62. Heading B5A. A process for the manufacture of articles (e.g. boat hulls or car bodies) made of plastics (e.g. polyester resin) reinforced with fibrous materials, consists in injecting a portion of the plastic into a two-part mould 2, 4 which contains the reinforcement 1 (e.g. glass fibres), allowing the mould parts to separate slightly under the injection pressure, forcing the mould parts together and repeating this cycle until the mould is completely filled. The process may be made automatic by having one mould part (2) fixed and the other (4) movable; the movable mould part being provided with e.g. photoelectric means 6, 7 which, when the mould has separated by a predetermined distance (about one-third of the thickness of the moulded article) closes a valve 10 to cut off the supply (11) of polyester resin and actuates hydraulic rams 5, 5a to close the mould. After a short time (e.g. 10 seconds) determined by a relay 13, the valve 10 reopens to allow a fresh quantity of resin to enter the mould. The resin may alternatively be injected under a pulsating pressure, so that it enters the mould in very brief but frequent impulses.

Title: Improvements in or relating to weaving mechanism for tuft pile fabric
IPC: D03D39/06
Filed: 1932-08-25
Abstract: 389,013. Weaving tufted fabrics. STEVENS, A. H., 5, Quality Court, Chancery Lane, London.-(Bigelow-Sanford Carpet Co., Inc. ; Thompsonville, Connecticut, U.S.A.) Aug. 25, 1932, No. 23791. [Class 142 (ii).] In weaving carpets or rugs of the Axminster type or of the Oriental or knotted type, several looms A .. D, Fig. 1, are fed in succession from a single supply of tuft-forming yarns, which supply may comprise tube frames 6 on a carrier 1 guided by sprockets 3 on an overhead frame, each loom having a carrier feeder device 7. A synchronizing floating loop 14 is formed in the carrier between each loom by means of a sprocket wheel having an axle guided in a slotted standard. Upon undue shortening or lengthening of this loop, devices are actuated to cause a modification in the working, such as stoppage of the adjoining loom. These devices may comprise upper and lower switches f, g in the circuits of magnetic switches controlling three-phase motors 19 driving the looms. If for example the loop in front of the loom D is unduly shortened, owing to slow running or temporary stoppage thereof, loom A is stopped. If the loop in front of loom C is unduly lengthened this loom may be stopped. The switches f, g may be boxed and be spring-controlled and operated by trip fingers engaged by the axles 16, which may be weighted to stabilize the loops. When a particular loom is to be stopped for some time, shortening of the floating loop of this loom is prevented by a check device, which may comprise a vertical upstanding hook pivoted to the standard 17, or, as shown, may comprise a lever 23 connected to a flexible member 25, which may be secured at 26. At the same time the operating pawls 11, 12 of the carrier feed device for the loom are raised from their ratchet wheels 29 fixed to the shaft 28, thus allowing the carrier to be fed through the loom by the feed devices of the adjoining looms. For this purpose a spring locking bolt 35 on a lock controller 34 pivoted to a throw-out member 32 connected to a cam 31 is disengaged from either one of two locking openings &c. 37 in a fixed locking ring 39, and the cam is turned into position to raise the pawls 11, 12. When these are in operative position, back movement of the carrier is prevented by a spring-controlled locking member 40 engaging a locking disc 42 but disengaged therefrom by lever mechanism operated by a trip pin. An eccentric can be turned into position to disengage the member 40 when the feed pawls are rendered inoperative. A spare locking disc 42a may be used when the disc 42 is worn.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture and treatment of textile materials
IPC: D06M13/405
Filed: 1931-08-26
Abstract: Artificial filaments, e.g. of cellulose acetate, are soaked in liquids comprising alkylolamines and/or their derivatives, the o -amino-alkylamides of fatty acids, di- or poly-hydric alcohol derivatives in which some of the hydroxy groups are esterified by fatty acids, or mixtures thereof, and cut into staple lengths, both wetting and cutting being carried out continuously with the production of the filaments.  The treatment is stated to remove difficulties due to electrification of the fibres and slipping of the fibres over one another.  Suitable substances are mono-, di-, or tri-ethanolamine, propanolamine, dioxypropylamine, hydroxyethylaniline, and the salts, soaps, esters, or acid amides of such compounds with higher fatty acids, e.g. capric, lauric, myristic, oleic, and stearic acids; also glycerol mono-oleate, glycerol di-oleate, ethylene glycol mono-oleate, diethylene glycol mono-oleate, or the corresponding esters of stearic, palmitic, or ricinoleic acid.  Solutions of ethanolamines in paraffin oils are particularly mentioned.  The fibres may be dried directly, or may be subjected to a preliminary centrifuging operation to bring the liquid content down to about 30-40 per cent, in which case a more concentrated alkylolamine &c. solution is used.  Roughening media such as silica, barytes, lithopone, kieselguhr, or the soluble salts of Specification 372,797, and also a lubricant, e.g. olive oil, may be applied conjointly with or separately from the alkylolamines or the like.  The bodies applied to the fibres may be removed immediately after spinning, or may be removed by the usual scouring operation applied to the fabric.  The fibres may be spun alone or in admixture with other fibres, e.g. fibres of viscose, silk, cotton, or wool.  Specifications 317,026, [Class 120 (iii), Yarns &c.], 359,511, [Group IX], 387, 003 and 387,004 also are referred to.
