Title: Water-cooled welding cable
IPC: H01R9/11
Filed: 1962-01-18
Abstract: 939,886. Electric cables. GAR WOOD INDUSTRIES Inc. Jan. 18, 1962 [Feb. 9, 1961], No. 1828/62. Class 36. A water cooled flexible welding cable with a flexible sheath enclosing the conductors has a pair of terminals, one of which is connected to one conductor the other being connected to two other conductors disposed on opposite sides of the first, there being water passages along the cable. As described, there are three layers 16, 18 and 20 of stranded or braided (Fig. 7, not shown) conductors separated by insulating strips 32, 34 throughout the cable length, the assembly being twisted before enclosing it in a flexible sheet 28. The surface area of the middle layer of conductors is the same as that of the two identical side layers of conductors combined. At one end of the cable the middle layer 16 of conductors is secured by soldering in a pocket 54 forming a part of one of the terminal pairs 22, 24 of opposite polarity which comprise semicylindrical heads 36, 38 and flat ends 70, 72 respectively. Two side layers 18, 20 of conductors are similarly secured in pockets 56, 58 of the other terminal 24. A bolt 29 (Fig. 2, not shown) firmly joins the two terminals together with an insulating sheet 26 between them bringing the pocket 54 between the pockets 56, 58 the pockets are insulated from each other by strips 64 (not shown), 60. The heads 36, 38 of the terminals have recesses 66 (not shown), 68 respectively which form closed spaces bound by the insulating sheet 26, the spaces communicating with the water supply through holes 70, 72 (not shown) in the terminal heads. The joints between the insulating sheet 26 and the terminals, around the recesses, are made watertight by deformable sealing strips 84 (not shown) placed in the grooves 86 around each recess, the sealing strip being subsequently pressed between the terminals and the sheet 26 upon assembly, thereby sealing the joints. The water spaces 66, 68 thus formed in turn communicate with spaces 80, 82 (Fig. 4) between the sealing pockets 54 and 56, 58 through depressions 76 (not shown), 78 on both sandwiched sides of 56. Away from the terminal and inside the sheath 28 which encloses the conductors and is secured on the terminal heads by clamping rings 30 (Fig. 2, not shown), the spaces 86, 82 branch off to spaces 90. 92 and 94 (Fig. 6, not shown) the separating strips 32, 34 may be perforated for water to flow more freely through the cable and around the conductors. Specifications 685,704 and 685,746 are referred to.

Title: Improvements relating to the manufacture of boots and shoes
IPC: A43B13/38
Filed: 1949-01-24
Abstract: 656,987. Boots &c. CLARK, Ltd., C. &J., and GRAVES, A. L. Jan. 24, 1949, No. 1866. [Class 17(ii)] An insole 1 is channelled as shown at 3 to accommodate the overlasted margin 10 of an upper 9 particularly where it is puckered at the forepart, and thus dispense with bottom filling. The channel is spaced inwards from the edge 2 of the insole so as to leave a rim 4 of uniform width round the forepart of the insole to provide a firm backing to the bend 12 of the upper at the edge of the last during the lasting of the upper and the laying of the sole. The margin 10 is consolidated after lasting so that it is not proud of the central area of the insole and direct contact between the centres of insole and outsole is ensured but, if necessary, the outsole may be reduced in thickness at the edge leaving a step in line with the inner edge of the channel 3.

Title: Improvements in the stabilization of liquid sulphur trioxide
IPC: C01B17/90
Filed: 1957-01-18
Abstract: Liquid sulphur trioxide or oleum of at least 80% strength is stabilized by incorporating therein not more than 2, preferably 0.1-1, wt. % of an aromatic or pyridine compound.  A large number of suitable compounds are listed, including aromatic hydrocarbons, amines, aldehydes, acids, and acid anhydrides, phenols, sulphonated, phosphonated, or halogenated benzenes, pyridines, and other nitrogen compounds.  Benzene, diphenyl, or benzoic acid are preferred, but the examples also refer to chlorobenzene, tetraphenylhydrazine, and phenyl isocyanate.  The small amount of sludge or oily liquid formed by the addition may be removed by filtration or decantation.  In one example (4) diphenyl is added to liquid SO3, the SO3 is distilled off, and the solid residue is used to stabilize more liquid SO3.  The use of diaryl nitrosamines (see Specification 820,458) is disclaimed.

Abstract: 751,028. Electric follow-up systems. NISTRI, U. Jan. 25, 1954 [Jan. 26, 1953], No. 2114/54. Class 40(1) Synchronism between two shafts A, B, Fig. 1, controlling the reproducing pencil and tracer, respectively, of a writing telegraph, is maintained by driving both shafts from a hand wheel C through similar Selsyn systems Should one of the shafts A. B stop for any reason, the other controlled shaft B or A also stops as it is subjected to substantially equal but opposed torques from the transmitter Selsyn and the "stopped" receiver Selsyn. In another embodiment, Fig. 4, where the tracer driving shaft B is driven directly by the hand wheel C, the Selsyn transmitter 1, geared to the shaft B, drives the pencil shaft A through a Selsyn receiver 9 connected in parallel with a further Selsyn receiver 4. The Selsyn elements 1, 4 drive respectively coaxial wheels 3, 6. Should the pencil driving shaft A stop, the wheel 6 also stops as above described, whereupon the relative rotation of the wheels 3, 6 causes contacts 7, 8 on the respective wheels to close when the allowable tolerance between tracer and reproducer positions has been reached. This contact closure may operate an alarm or as shown energize a magnet 14 to release a latching lever 12 which locks the hand wheel C. The tracer could alternatively be driven by a further Selsyn receiver 15 in which case the contacts 7, 8 are unnecessary but could be used to give an alarm in the event of a stoppage.
