[Also in Divisions B2 and D1] Apparatus for applying flock to a surface comprises a hopper haying a bottom portion at least partially constructed as a sieve, and vibrator means operably associated with the hopper for initiating non-linear vibrating motion of the hopper, the latter defining a closed path for the flock. As shown, a hopper for distributing flock into an electrostatic field for deposition upon a moving web W comprises two straight portions 1, 3 arranged transverse to web W and interconnected by curved end portions 2, 4. The hopper is positioned above beams, 7, 7a by springs 3a, the lower ends of which are secured to the latter and the upper ends to the portions 1, 3. The springs associated with the respective portions 1, 3 incline in opposite directions. Each end portion 2, 4 is supported by three springs arranged at right angles to each other. Associated with each spring is an electromagnetic device 3b adapted, when energized, to impart longitudinal vibration and slight lateral vibration to the spring. The arrangement is such that the flock circulates in the hopper in the direction of the arrow. The bottom of each portion 1, 3 is in the form of a detachable sieve having a ribbed centre portion 8. The perforations in portion 3 may be larger than those in portion 1. The hopper may be divided by a partition into two separate channels containing different coloured flock, and the perforations in the channels may be staggered to provide a striped effect on web W. In a modification the hopper is suspended by springs from the beams. For coating single articles, a cylindrical hopper depends from a rigid plate suspended by springs associated with respective electromagnetic devices.

Title: Miniature phonograph
IPC: G11B33/06
Filed: 1965-09-22
Abstract: 1,062,503. Miniature record players. T. R. DUNCAN. Sept. 22, 1965 [July 27, 1965], No. 40498/65. Heading G5R. A miniature record player for insertion in e.g. a doll, in which the record element is a selfcoiling metal spring with a number of sound record grooves each carrying a single message in a plastics coating on one side thereof. Operation of the pull string 32 lifts a needle 35 from the record and draws the record from its storage drum 21 on to a take-up spool 24. On release of the string the needle engages one of the grooves and the record recoils on to its storage drum at a rate controlled by a governor including a rotating mass 58 which is coupled by a belt 39 and a spring clutch to the take-up spool during the recoil (playing) period. The tone arm 36 which carries the needle 35 and includes a base portion 62 is pivoted at one end of the base portion about a screw 63. A spring 70 connected to the other end of the base portion urges the needle into contact with the record and a cam follower projection 88 on the tone arm out of engagement with a cam groove on a cam wheel 80. During the pulling operation of the string, which passes around cam wheel 80 and around a pillar 78 on a bell-crank lever 74 before coiling on the take-up spool, the tension in the string rotates the bell-crank lever and hence the tone arm in a counterclockwise direction moving the needle out of contact with the record and the cam follower 88 into contact with the cam groove on the now rotating cam wheel 80. The needle thus oscillates laterally across the record grooves and by not providing a simple relationship between the pull string length and the circumference of the cam wheel the needle is urged into a randomly selected groove at the end of the pulling operation. An extension 67 of the tone arm engages diaphragm 14.

Abstract: 1,269,683. Recovering aromatics from extractive solvents. UNIVERSAL OIL PRODUCTS CO. 19 Aug., 1969, No. 41231/69. Heading C5E. Aromatics are recovered from a rich solvent stream obtained in an aromatic extraction step by (a) contacting the stream in a first separation zone with a stripping medium to produce a distillate containing aromatics and a bottoms fraction comprising lean solvent and non- volatile contaminats, (b) contacting at least part of the bottoms fraction in a second separation zone with a stripping medium to produce an overhead vapour comprising regenerated solvent and stripping medium, (c) recycling the overhead to the lower part of the first separation zone, and (d) recovering aromatics therefrom. Preferably the overhead vapour from the second separator provides the sole source of stripping medium e.g. steam for the first separator. The first zone is preferably maintained at 90 mm. Hg to 1.02 atm. gauge pressure, an overhead temperature of 60-166‹ C. and a bottoms temperature of 77-177‹ C., and the second zone at 200- 800 mm. Hg, 121-177‹ C., and a steam : bottoms fraction of 1-3 : 1 by weight. The feed to the solvent extraction step may be gasoline or straight-run petroleum distillates or reformed naphthas, and the solvent an aliphatic or cyclic alcohol, a cyclic monomeric sulphone, a glycol, glycol ether or glycol ester, or particularly, a sulpholane. In the Figure, a catalytic reformate is extracted at 12 with a sulpholane, and the extract is passed into extractive distillation column 15. Non-aromatic hydrocarbons are taken as overhead from 15, and the bottoms comprising solvent and aromatics introduced into steam stripper 18. Aromatic hydrocarbons are recovered overhead from 18, and the bottoms fraction passed to solvent regenerator and steam stripper 21, from which the overhead solvent plus steam is recycled to the foot of first stripper 18.

Abstract: 1364423 Automatic adjusters GIRLING Ltd 1 Sept 1971 [2 Sept 1970] 41888/70 Addition to 1169577 Heading F2E A force transmitting mechanism which is automatically adjustable lengthwise, e.g. for use as a brake wear adjuster, comprises two relatively rotatable and screwthreadedly engaged members for force transmission therebetween having a non-reversible screwthread connection, rolling elements circumferentially located on one member and rolling in the, or another, screwthread of the other member, and means for applying an axial force to the elements causing them to roll along the associated sorewthread, thus causing relative rotation of the members. In Fig. 1, which shows a brake wear adjuster having an auxiliary mechanical actuator 29, 30, balls 19, the number of which correspond to the starts of a multi-start thread 15, are circumferentially located in a nut 14, the balls and nut being axially spring biased leftwardly, and the nut engaging a casing 16 by means of serrations 27. The balls 19 are free to rotate by means of a thrust bearing 23, 24, 26. Movement of a piston 11 beyond a predetermined amount causes the serrations 27 of the nut 14 and casing 16 to be separated, thus allowing rotation of the balls 19 and nut 14 to move them axially due to the spring loading. The use of a multi-start thread can be avoided by the fitting of a sleeve over the end of the nut 14, the sleeve having a face inclined correspondingly with the thread pitch so that the balls 19 lie in a single groove, Also the number of balls 19 may be likewise increased for a multi-start thread. In this embodiment the serrations 27 are avoided and the initial axial clearance is provided by adjustment of the sleeve on the nut 14 so that the thrust is only applied on the balls 19 after the clearance is taken up. An alternative arrangement, Fig. 3, shows the rolling elements, in the form of rollers 62 having tapered ends 64 though balls may be used, located in the inner member 43 and engaging the nut thread 45. Thrust is provided from a centre spindle 52, having limited travel, through a Belleville washer 48 and a thrust ring 49 to the rollers 62. One end 56 of the spindle 52 is non-circular, and for part of the spindle travel corresponding to the predetermined clearance, engages in a like recess in the inner member 43. Movement of the spindle 52, due to movement of a member 42, beyond this clearance circumferentially releases the inner member 43 which is rotated by the roller, 62 and moves axially to provide adjustment.
