Patent GB-589287-A (GB)
Title: Process for providing plastic surfaces with inlays
IPC: B44C3/04
Filed: 1944-05-24
Abstract: An article made from plastic material is provided with an inlay by mounting the inlay on a bearer by means of adhesive, pressing the inlay against the article whilst the material of the latter is hot, and soft, the inlay being thus embedded in the surface of the article, and finally removing the bearer.  Thus, thermosetting material is formed in a mould and immediately after forming, but before the curing is complete, the mould is opened and the bearer, with the inlay, is placed therein, the inlay being against the thermosetting material.  The mould is closed, the bearer pressed against the material, the mould is opened, the article taken out and the bearer removed, e.g., by dissolving the adhesive with water.  The bearer may be a fibrous sheet; if it is of thin paper it may be backed with sheet metal, to prevent curling of the paper under heat. The inlay may be metal, glass, stone, porcelain, formed and cured thermosetting plastic material, wood, dried leaves and flowers or feathers, and may be in powdered form, e.g., coloured thermosetting material powder, bronze powder, glass powder or graphite.  When bronze powder or graphite is used it may be electroplated after inlaying.  When the bearer is gummed paper a design may be written, drawn or printed thereon (as with a stencil) by means of water, powder being then applied to stick to the tacky design.  Or a design may be drawn or printed in gum on paper, the powder being then applied.  To facilitate positioning of the inlay on the bearer, the latter may be marked by printing. If the inlay is of glass it should be preheated before being pressed on to the hot plastic article.  The inlay may project from the surface of the article, in which case it is mounted in a hollow in a cardboard bearer.  The invention may be used in combination with the process described in Specification 562,573, print and inlays being transferred to the article, or, according to the first Provisional Specification, it may be combined with the process described in Specification 560,184.

Abstract: 1298067 Atomizers A S BROWN & CO (MFG) Ltd and E P CROME 17 Feb 1970 [25 Feb 1969] 10113/69 Heading B2F Liquids are sprayed by a device comprising a cylinder 12 in which there is a piston 13, the cylinder having an extension 12' for attachment thereto of a liquid container, a transverse partition 17 separating the part in which the piston moves from the extension, a diaphragm 35 overlying the partition on the cylinder side, which diaphragm is flattened against the partition on the compression stroke of the piston and its centre moves away on the suction stroke, forming a chamber between the diaphragm and the partition (Fig. 3C) into which liquid is drawn through a connection with the liquid container. This liquid is sprayed out on a further compression stroke of the piston via an outlet in the chamber to an orifice 31 in the cylinder. In the embodiment shown the chamber is further defined by a conical member 34, the diaphragm touching the underside of this when the chamber is at its maximum size, the conical member being held against the diaphragm, which is cut away at one side to allow entry for compressed air (Fig. 2), and the partition by a spring 14, which spring is compressed on the compression stroke of the finger actuated piston 13. The container 11 for the liquid is screwed into a skirt extending down from the partition, the container holding in place a tubular member 23 extending into the container. A stem 21 extends from the piston 13 through holes in the conical member, diaphragm and partition into a wide bore section 26 of the member 23, there being a gap between the stem and the partition for passage therethrough of liquid to the chamber formed by the diaphragm, and seals 32, 33 resting on vanes 29 on the stem 21 to seal. this gap when the piston is not depressed. There may be grooves in part 26 of the member 23 so that the piston may only be depressed when vanes 29 are in alignment with the grooves, thus the piston may be locked in its non-depressed condition. The passage of the liquid out of the chamber formed by the diaphragm and partition is by radial grooves 20 and a annular groove 19 (Fig. 2) which communicates with the orifice 31. The atomiser may be used for cosmetics, medical or industrial purposes.

Inventor: SMITH CHARLES EARLE
IPC: B42C7/00
Filed: 1916-07-25
Abstract: 106,365. Smith, C. E. July 25, 1916. Embossing.-Consists in a machine for depositing metallic leaf from a package roll upon book covers &c., in which the work is supported on a rocking and reciprocating table co-acting with a yielding pressure block under which the strip of leaf is drawn by special feed-mechanism. There may be several package rolls and corresponding pressure blocks to apply several lines of leaf simultaneously. In the construction shown in Figs. 2, 6, 10, 12, 14, the work is supported on a table F which is moved up and down and at the same time given a rocking motion by an eccentric stud I on a rotating disk I<1>. Above the table is a yieldingly-mounted pressure-block J beneath which the metal leaf on its supporting strip X is drawn by the feed-mechanism. At the end of the rocking movement of the table, when the parts approach the position shown in Fig. 10, the corner of the block J pressing on the back of the supporting strip slides slightly and separates the deposited portion of the leaf from the undeposited portion The block I is pierced with small holes b, Fig. 14 leading to a suction chamber c for the purpose of preventing the leaf from falling away from its sup porting-strip when the table is in the lowered position shown in Fig. 6. The feed-mechanism comprises a constantly rotating. ler f, Figs. 2, 3, and 4, over which the strip X nasses loosely, and a rotating segment o, Figs. 2 and 4, which is under the control of a cam m, Fig. 5, so that at each cycle of operations it is caused to press the strip against the roller and thus feed it forwards. The segment can be angularly adjusted on its shaft so as to vary the length of feed. In order that a number of lines of leaf may be applied simultaneously, a number of pressure-blocks together with the corresponding package rolls and feeding- segments are provided. In the construction shown, there are three pressure blocks J adjustably mounted on a bracket arm r, Figs. 2 and 3. The feeding-segments are also adjustable along the shaft for the purpose of keeping the strips X parallel. After passing over the feed-roller f, the strip X is passed over a heated plate v, Fig. 4, to free it from frictional electricity. Each package roll S is mounted on a stud T, Fig. 12, on a bracket K and is held thereon by a spring U.
