Title: Improvements in or relating to adherent sheet material adapted to provide a finishedsurface of an article
IPC: B29C37/00
Filed: 1940-10-28
Abstract: 546,078. Coated fabrics; compound sheet material; ornamenting. GOODRICH CO., B. F. Oct. 28, 1940, No. 15779. Convention date, Dec. 28, 1939. [Class 140] [Also in Group XV] Adherent decorative sheet material comprises an elastic foundation having decorative material on one face and a pressure sensitive adhesive on the other face. Rubber not containing vulcanizing ingredients is calendered on to a backing 15, Fig. 2, of Holland cloth, oil cloth or paper having a facing 16. to which rubber will not adhere to form a layer 18 on which is then calendered a layer 24 of unvulcanized but vulcanizable rubber. A suitable backing is made by impregnating the fabric with an aqueous emulsion of oil and pigment and coating with oil varnish. In place of rubber, polyvinyl halides, neoprene, polyolefine polysulphide, and copolymers of butadiene and acrylic nitrile may be used. A layer 29 of adhesive rubber composition containing flock is then spread by a doctor bar on layer 24. Flock is deposited on. layer 29 from a screen and beaters vibrate the sheet to distribute the flock uniformly thereover, after which.the whole is vulcanized. The backing sheet 15 is separated so that the unvulcanized rubber layer 18 is available for adhesion. Instead of applying flock the surface of layer 29 may be varnished or printed and stippled or embossed. A strap or belt may be formed by folding the margins of a strip of the product towards each other until they abut as shown at 55, Fig. 4, the adhesive face 18 being adhered to itself. A strap having a core of elastic webbing'is made by passing the elastic through a bath of an aqueous rubber dispersion and folding about it a strip of the product the adhesive face of which has been freshened with a coating of an aqueous dispersion or solution of rubber. The layer 18 may be replaced by a dried coating of a rubber dispersion. The material may be used to decorate garments such as coats and sweaters, for lining or covering containers, and as uppers, straps or gores for footwear.

Title: Method of manufacturing wheel trim
IPC: B60B7/06
Filed: 1973-04-03
Abstract: 1391739 Making wheel trims NORRIS INDUSTRIES Inc 3 April 1973 [4 April 1972] 15844/73 Heading B3A A method of making a vehicle wheel trim comprises forming a strip into a hoop, forming the hoop into an annular shape having a larger diameter portion spaced from the axial ends of the hoop, and separating the hoop between its ends to produce a pair of wheel trim members. As described, flat strip is formed into a hoop before or after parting off from stock, and the ends welded together and the seam planished or ground smooth. The hoop is then expanded to the cross-section shown in Fig. 5 by roll forming, pressing, or rubber or polyurethane expansion techniques, and parted along line 42 either as a separate operation or while in the roll forming machine or press. Trimming of the edges of the members 32a, 32b so formed, e.g. at 44a, 44b, may be done if necessary at the same time or as a separate roll forming or pressing operation. Parts 38 of the members may be formed with an upward taper. Flanges are then formed at the inner and outer peripheral edges of each member, Fig. 7 (not shown), buffing and/or plating performed, and a valve hole pierced. Trim locating and retention means comprising clips 50 disposed between annular bands 52, 54 are secured by folding flange 46, e.g. by clinching, rolling, or pressing, and flange 48 is doubled as shown and may also be used to secure retention means.

IPC: F04B1/30
Filed: 1970-04-03
Abstract: 1306114 Hydrostatic transmission ROBERT BOSCH GmbH 3 April 1970 [5 April 1969] 15857/70 Heading F2D [Also in Division G3] An hydraulic pump or motor, as shown the pump 1 of an hydrostatic transmission, is controlled by a manually positioned follow-up servo 7 and a pressure limiting valve 28 which acts to override the servo to downshift the transmission when the high pressure initially exceeds a predetermined value and to directly interconnect the high and low pressure lines 2 and 3 if the pressure rise is too rapid to be corrected by the downshifting. As shown, the swash plate 5 of reversible pump 1 is adjusted by the servo 7 which is acted on by high pressure in line 22, and comprises a differential piston 6 positioned by the high pressure directed selectively to its intermediate step or its end in chamber 17 by a manually positioned stem 11. The high pressure in line 22 is derived from line 2 or 3 via a shuttle valve 21, and acts directly on one end 31 of the spool 30 in the pressure limiting valve 28, and via a throttle 33 on the other end 34 of the spool. With line 2 the high pressure line, excessive pressure in the line opens a pressure relief valve 38 connected to end 34 of spool 30 to vent that end and allow the spool to move to the left. The initial movement to the left vents the servo chamber 17 to the low pressure line 3 via lines 52, 51, bore 40 in the spool 30, groove 39 in the spool and lines 47, 48, so that the high pressure shifts the servo spool 6 to the left to decrease the pump displacement. If the pressure rise is too rapid, the spool 30 moves further to the left to connect the high and low pressure lines directly via lines 45-48. If the pump is reversed so that line 3 is the high pressure line, initial leftward movement of spool 30 due to excessive high pressure again connects line 3 to the servo chamber 17 which shifts spool 6 to the right which again decreases the pump displacement. A rapid pressure rise again directly interconnects the high and low pressure lines.

Patent GB-612554-A (GB)
Title: A method for the recovery of meal and oil from fish and similar raw materials
IPC: C11B1/06
Filed: 1946-05-27
Abstract: Meal and oil is recovered from fish and similar raw material by disintegration, partially drying, pressing, e.g. in a screw press, and then conveying the pressed substance to a second drying apparatus which delivers a practically water-free meal.  The filtrate from the press, consisting mainly of oil and water and substances dissolved and suspended therein, after straining, e.g. by passage over a vibrating screen, is fed to a centrifugal separator, provided with discharge nozzles, in which the oil is separated out and then withdrawn from the process, while a large or small part of the other centrifugally-separated components of the feed is again passed through the separator.  At least part of said components may be led back to the first dryer and there mixed with the raw material fed into it, and the remainder to the second drier together with the pressed substance coming from the press. Alternatively, part of the heavier discharge from the separator may be led back to the inlet side of the vibrating-screen and/or the separator, the balance being returned to the second drier.

IPC: B21D53/36
Filed: 1968-04-04
Abstract: 1,208,204. Making metal clips; angular bending; jointing by stamping; shearing. J. M. DAVIS. 3 April, 1969 [4 April, 1968], No. 16364/68. Headings B3A, B3E, B3Q and B3W. A device for forming and applying U-shaped clips or other fastening means formed by severing and bending strip metal material includes a reciprocating punch 18, a rotary member 20 having a chamber 19 extending transversely to the rotational axis thereof, the member being arranged so that in two positions at 180 degrees to one another the chamber is disposed to receive the punch, means for feeding the strip material stepwise, the arrangement being such that each fastening means is formed and applied by two consecutive working strokes of the punch, a portion of the strip first being detached and driven into the chamber, then formed into a U-shape extending yoke first into the chamber, and finally driven prongs first from the chamber by means of the yoke of the next formed fastening means. Two wires to be joined are inserted between open jaws 21. Levers 22 are depressed, pivoting the jaws about pins 23, which action moves rollers 24 apart and a heel 21A operates an air valve 25 to actuate an operating cycle. A ram 26 is driven upwardly and a cam surface 41 pivots an arm 36 thereby advancing a carrier head 12. As the head 12 advances, jaws 12A, 12B close on the steel strip material to advance it one step. A further cam surface 34 engages a roller 33 to pivot toggle arms 27, 28, thereby driving a cutter 16 upwardly. The cutter, which reciprocates through a very short stroke adjustable by tapered wedges 30, produces a generally U- shaped cut in the strip almost, but not completely, through the thickness thereof. The previously formed clip blank having been advanced over a die 17 is engaged by the punch 18, formed into a U-shape and forced into the chamber 19. As the clip already in the chamber is pushed out, its prongs engage the jaws 2] and they are crimped around the wires. On the return stroke of the ram 26 a ratchet connection of a rack and pinion drive rotates the member 20 through 180 degrees after the punch is clear of the chamber 19, Fig. 7 (not shown). As the member 20 rotates, two flats on its periphery nudge the jaws partially open and a spring in the valve 25 and a further spring 25A open them fully. The cam surfaces 34, 41 withdraw the punch 16 and the head 12 respectively, the jaws 12A, 12B on the latter moving apart to release their grip on the strip. The length of the feed step of the steel strip is governed by the distance between a fixed stop (50) and an adjustable stop (51), Fig. 2 (not shown). Adjustment of the stop (51) simultaneously adjusts the position of the cutter 16 and its die 13.
