Title: Improvements in lip-stick holders and the like
IPC: A45D40/06
Filed: 1949-05-09
Abstract: 671,388. Lipstick holders and the like. PERGEAUX, L. F. J. May 9, 1949 [May 10, 1948], No. 12345/49. Class 18 A holder for lipsticks or the like that can be projected for use, has a movable stick carrier or socket with two or more resilient tongues 12 that are forced, by the surrounding casing, into gripping contact with the stick or a thimble thereon and move outwardly to free the thimble, e.g. for replenishment purposes, when the socket is advanced beyond the normal limit of its traverse to bring its open end outside the confines of the casing. As shown in Figs. 4 and 6, the socket comprises strips 7 and 12 disposed alternately within a member 5 adapted to slide within a casing 2, the strips 7 having inward projections 9 to seat a stick thimble 10, Fig. 18, and the strips 12 being curved outwardly at the top and provided with inward projections 13 to engage a thimble groove 14. The strips or tongues 12 are forced into and maintained in engagement with the thimble by the casing 2 and during normal use the web 6 of a socket stud 4 is moved along a slot a b in the casing. When the stick is exhausted, the stud is moved from a to b, displaced angularly in slot e and then moved along slot c, d whereupon the tongues emerge from the casing and move outwardly to free the thimble. alternatively, as shown in Fig. 15, the socket may have a dog or pin 25 projecting through a longitudinal slot in an innermost sleeve 22, Fig. 8 (not shown), having a milled wheel 18 at its base, and through a helical slot 21 in a relatively rotatable sleeve 20 frictionally gripped by an outer casing 19. The helical slot 21 is longer than the normal traverse of the pin 21 and socket 24 which is determined by the engagement of a stop 26 on the sleeve 20 with a spring 27 on the wheel 18. When replenishment is required, the spring 27 is pushed clear of the stop 26 and the relative rotation continued to bring the upper end of the socket clear of the edge of the casing 19.

Filed: 1970-03-16
Abstract: 1,267,768. Roller conveyers. KORNYLAK CORP. 16 March, 1970 [18 Aug., 1969], No. 12479/70. Heading B8A. [Also in Division F2] A braking roller comprises a stator having consecutive vanes 28 tipped in opposite directions, the stator being enclosed in a rotor comprising two adhered parts 34, 36. Vanes 42, 44, 46 are formed on these parts and the rotor is filled with silicone putty which is prevented from escaping by seal surfaces 52, 54. The silicone putty has the property that its resistance to deformation increases as the deforming force increases. When a number of braking rollers R are used in a gravity conveyer, Fig. 1, the putty will deform to permit a load L to move at any speed below a predetermined value but will strongly resist the movement of the load at a speed above this value. In Fig. 2 (not shown), a wheeled platform (64) has rollers (R) to limit the speed of the platform down a trackway. Other materials, such as gelatinous substances or grease, which resist deformation in the same way as silicone putty, may be used in place of the putty.

Title: Process for improving vegetable fibrous material
IPC: D06M11/38
Filed: 1927-05-11
Abstract: 300,663. Lilienfeld, L. May 11, 1927. Liquids, gases, and vapours, processes and materials for treating with.-When imparting a silky lustre or a finish to cotton and other cellulosic yarns by the process which involves treatment with alkali and carbon bisulphide, improved effects are obtained if in the treatment there is employed caustic alkali solution of a concentration more than 12 per cent., or of lower concentrations while employing a temperature below O‹ C., so as to produce soluble xanthate, the treated material being subjected to treatment with a solvent for such xanthate in order to remove soluble xanthate at least in part, before the material is brought into contact with an agent that precipitates viscose. Suitable solvents are water, or a solution of a basic substance such as caustic alkali or an alkali salt having an alkaline reaction such as borax or an alkali sulphide, phosphate, acetate or carbonate, or a neutral salt that does not decompose viscose such as common salt, or a dilute solution of an acid such as acetic acid or sulphurous acid. If the material is stretched during the whole or a part of the treatment, there is obtained a silky lustre, and the feel of the material is not substantially affected; if, however, the material is allowed to shrink, then there is obtained a woolly product. Before treatment, the material may be subjected to the action of an hydrolyzing or gelatinizing agent such as a strong mineral acid, or zinc chloride or cuprammonia solution. Specifications 19912/01, 1572/15, 168,575, 216,476 and 216,477 are referred to.

Title: Process for Stretch-Reducing Tubes
Inventor: KOCKS FRIEDRICH
IPC: B21B17/14
Filed: 1967-03-21
Abstract: 1,158,754. Measuring thickness electrically. KOCKS-WERMELSKIRCHEN G.m.b.H. March 21, 1967, No. 13143/67. Heading G1N. [Also in Division G3] The wall thickness of a metallic tube is measured by encircling the tube by a coil carrying current at medium frequency and measuring the current or the power absorbed by the coil. Alternatively the thickness may be determined indirectly by measuring the electrical resistance of a length of tube in a circuit between live feeder rollers, the length of tube forming one arm of a wheatstone bridge circuit. The arrangement is used in a programmed control system to develop a series of control signals representative of individual variations of wall thickness from the average of a batch which signals are fed sequentially into a store varying the stretch unparted in a multi-stand reduction mill to the individual tubes, fed in the same sequence so as to minimize variations within each batch.

Title: Improvements in or relating to rotary compressors
IPC: F04C23/00
Filed: 1946-05-01
Abstract: 611,465. Rotary compressors. COMPRESSED AIR STARTERS, Ltd. (Herzmark, N.). May 1, 1946, No. 13157. [Class 110 (ii)] In an outwardly-sliding vane-type compressor the rotor, such as 16, is free axially on driving keys 23 and is pressed against a plate 83<1> by an annular spring 88 acting through a sealing plate 86. The latter is also pressed against the rotor by compressed air which passes from the rotor chamber 12 through a hole 90. Fig. 1 shows a three-stage compressor with rotors 16, 17, 18 similarly mounted on a shaft 15. The vanes 45 have spindles 42 extending through the shaft and rotor, each being provided with a balance weight 61 and a spring 64 to counteract centrifugal force on the vane. Axial pressure is exerted on the spindles by a valve rod 150, Fig. 5, which, under a high delivery pressure from the compressor, acting through a pipe 155 upon the end of the rod, causes the latter to move against a spring 152 and prevent the vanes from moving radially outwards. This renders the compressor ineffective until the pressure in a receiver falls. A cap-nut supporting the spring 152 is adjustable. Sealing springs 71, carried by each rotor, have projecting ends. Air is discharged from a delivery pipe to any place of use, or to a second stage of the compressor. Part of the delivery air may be passed to atmosphere, by way of a valve 74, the remainder passing through a pipe 79 to the next stage of the compressor. A shut-off valve 75 controls the outlet port 67 from the low-pressure stage. Part of the delivery air passes through a bore 81, leading to a spring-pressed valve 82 which, when open, allows air to escape through a number of holes 85, these holes increasing progressively in diameter towards the left. Escaping air is discharged over cooling fins 7. When the compressor is used for varying altitudes, as in an aircraft, less air is compressed and less discharged at high levels, the valve 82 closing at a pre-determined altitude. The inner circumference of each spring 88 acts to prevent oil leading along the shaft 15. The rotors are arranged eccentrically and displaced at 120 degrees to each other for balancing purposes. Rotor lightening cavities 31 are provided. Fig. 10 shows a single-stage compressor with vanes 177. Cooling air is blown through the rotor cavities 163, provided with fins 164, from inlets 166 to outlets 175.
Patent GB-131610-A (GB)
IPC: G01C3/12
Abstract: 131,610. Barr & Stroud, Barr, A., and Stroud, W. Jan. 22, 1917. Range-finders .-Constantbase single-observer rangefinders (coincidence or stereoscopic) used for height-measuring and in which a small-angle refracting prism is translated along the axis of the instrument are constructed so that the refracting prism can be brought right up to the principal focal plane of the telescope objective with which it is associated. The invention is intended to overcome a difficulty in heightmeasuring range-finders as described in Specification 125,587, produced by its not being possible to bring the rotatable refracting prism into the common focal plane of the two objectives which has usually been on the eye side, of the eye-piece prisms. In the arrangement the focal plane of the objective is at a position 34 before the eye-piece prisms are reached, and a lens system 35 is provided to form a second real image in the required position 36 relatively to the eye. piece prisms.

Filed: 1975-04-01
Abstract: 1494426 Inspecting cap seals photo-electrically PHYSITRONIK GERATEBAU GmbH 1 April 1975 [30 March 1974] 13231/75 Heading G1A To inspect a seal formed in a cap, e.g. a bottle cap, the cap is rotated while being illuminated with mono-chromatic light; light reflected from the seal is detected and compared with a pre-set value so that if there is a defect in the seal the cap is rejected. The seal 2, Fig. 1, is formed in the cap by applying a sealing composition over the bottom of the cap; in use, an annular portion 4 of the seal will contact the rim of the bottle to be closed, and it is this portion which is illuminated by a suitably sized light spot or line, 5 or 6 respectively. The defects to be detected are generally holes in the seal, and the illuminating wavelength is chosen so that the seal and the cap have differing reflectivities at that wavelength. The incident and reflected rays may travel along separate paths, Fig. 3, (not shown), or may be combined by a beam-splitter 12, Fig. 4 (not shown); an equivalent of (Fig. 4) may be formed using fibre optics, Fig. 7 (not shown). The detector signal is gated so that it is used only when the cap has built up to full rotational speed, and the cap is' preferably examined for more than 360 degrees rotation. The light source may be continuous or pulsed, the latter case requiring a relationship between pulse rate and speed of rotation so that enough pulses occur during cap rotation. When the illumination is not of a visible wavelength, a visible source may be provided to aid initial alignment so that a desired annular region of the seal can be inspected.
