[Class 36] High - tension insulators with a live conductor at one end only and the other end grounded, such as supports for wireless towers, diminish in cross-section from the live end to the grounded end so that the flux density in the insulator is approximately constant throughout its length. The insulator may be formed as a hollow porcelain core 16, Fig. 3, with a metal cap 19 and bars 17, the thickness of the cone diminishing downwards. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement consisting of a uniform cone 27 with a tapering lining 26 secured therein by bitumen &c. 26<a>. The porcelain lining 26 may be replaced by plaster insulating material moulded to taper. Other arrangements of liners, and an arrangement of three insulators, one on the other, with the thickness of insulation in each less than that in the one above are also described. Fig. 9 shows an insulator of the strain type comprising a porcelain cylinder 53 with a tapered lining 52 at the live end. A tapered lining 57 may also be placed in the grounded end. Alternatively, the live end may be surrounded by a tapered sleeve. Specification 378,882 is referred to.

Fluoride ion sources are ammonium bifluoride and fluoroborate ions. Specified zirconium compounds forming the complexes are zirconium acetate, oxychloride or sulphate or potassium zirconium fluoride which is itself an anion, a complex may be used. Other specified complexes are alkali metal and ammonium fluoro andchloro zirconates. The solution may also contain dyes, wetting agents, glaubers salt, formaldehyde acids and other flame retardants, e.g. antimony trifluoride, antimony potassium tartrate, aluminium sulphate and aluminium chloride. The flame proofing may be carried out at the same time as dyeing with acid levelling 1:1-premetallised and reactive dyes in the presence of organic non-ionic levelling agents. The dyeing process may also precede or come after the zirconium treatment e.g. with chrome dyes. The fibres may be bleached with H 2 O 2  on reductive bleach, e.g. sodium hydrosulphite or bisulphite bleach containing sodium silicate before or after zirconium treatment. Water and oil proofing agents e.g. fluorocarbon resins may be included in a bath prior to after or during zirconium treatment. The proofed material is dried and cured.

Title: Improvements in or relating to windscreen wipers
IPC: B60S1/16
Filed: 1959-03-03
Abstract: 846,846. Windscreen cleaners. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. March 3, 1959 [March 3, 1958], No. 7311/59. Class 138(1). The blades 74, 76, Fig. 1, of a windscreen wiper are oscillated by a rotating crank arm 38 through link 42 and bell crank 46, 70, and link 44, and bell cranks 54 and 66, 72, respectively, and the crank arm 38 has a variable throw so that the wiper blades may be parked in positions outside their normal arcs of oscillation. The crank arm 38 is secured to a shaft 36 fixed to a plate 132, Fig. 6, and eccentrically journalled in the hub 108 of a worm gear 102 driven by an electric or other motor 28 through a worm 100, the plate 132 and the worm gear 102 being interconnected by a spring-biassed drive pawl 142 which is adapted to be disengaged from the worm gear 102 to vary the throw of the crank arm 38 and to arrest it. When the plate 132 and the worm gear 102 rotate together during the normal operation of the wiper the crank pin 40 is revolved in a circle about the axis of the worm gear 102, and the wiper blades oscillate through an angle A. To move the blades to their parked position a manual switch is operated to de-energize an electromagnet 192 to release an armature 190 linked to a pivoted latch 168 so that the end 176 of the latter is engaged by a flange 154 on the drive pawl 142. The continued rotation of the worm gear 102, causes the plate 132, through cam means provided thereon, to rotate relatively thereto thus to increase the throw of the crank arm 38. Fig. 5 shows an electric circuit for controlling the wiper unit for independent operation, or for conjoint operation with a washer unit. The circuit includes a switch 242 controlling the motor 228 driving the wiper unit, and comprising a movable contact 250 co-operating with fixed contacts 240, 244, 246 and having a low speed position in which a shunt field winding 222 is energized, a medium speed position in which a resistor 254, e.g. of 20 ohms, is connected in series with the winding 222, and a high speed position in which a resistor 264, e.g. of 60 ohms, is connected in series with the winding 222. To operate the washer and wiper units conjointly a push button contact 252 is engaged with a fixed contact 248, the contacts 252, 250 being interconnected so that operation of the push button also moves the contact 250 into position for energizing the wiper motor at low speed. An electromagnet 270 is energized via the contacts 248, 252 to disengage an armature 276 from a ratchet cam 274 to allow it to be driven by the wiper motor to operate the washer pump.

Abstract: Gluten or glutinous products are made from the seed kernels of the carob bean tree (Ceratonia siliqua) or of related plants of the group Mimosacaae and Ceasalpineacaae, for example Cersis siliquastrum, C. canadensis and C. chinensis or the separated germinal substance thereof, by methods similar to those used in making such products from wheat, for example kneading with water. Bleaching may be effected by treating either the raw material or the glutinous products with dilute acids, for example citric or tartaric acids, or oxidizing agents such as hypochlorites, sodium p-toluene sulphonechloramide, peroxides and persalts.  The wet gluten extract may be intermittently sterilized or dried at room temperature or in vacuo at 40-50 DEG  C. and subsequently ground. Food preparations may be made by baking a paste of the gluten to which flour, albuminous food, cellulose, starch or gluten denatured by heating may be added. Adhesives may be made by allowing the gluten to putrefy and drying in vacuo.  Dilute acids or alkalies may be added to increase the adhesive power. Alternatively, the germinal substance mixed with wheat grain or flour may be converted into a gluten adhesive, the cellulose content being subsequently decomposed, if desired, by cellulose dissolving bacteria.ALSO:Gluten or glutinous products are made from the seed kernels of the carob bean tree (Ceratonia siliqua) or of related plants of the group Mimosacaae and Ceasalpineacaae for example Cercis siliquastrum, C. canadensis and C. chinensis or the separated germinal substance thereof, by methods similar to those used in making such products from wheat, for example kneading with water.
