Title: A process and apparatus for moulding thermoplastic materials
IPC: B29C35/04
Filed: 1950-11-03
Abstract: 697,627. Compound sheet materials. MEISSNER, W. E. Nov. 3, 1950. [Nov. 5, 1949] No. 26841/50. Class 140. [Also in Groups V and XXVIII] Reinforcement is disposed between pellicles of thermoplastic material, the assembled reinforced pellicles are shaped, and the shaped assembly is brought into contact with a fused or hot solid mass of salt. This salt has a higher melting point than the thermoplastic material, and fuses the latter. The salt and shaped assembly are then cooled, whereby a unitary moulded reinforced thermoplastic article is formed, and the salt is removed from the article. The thermoplastic material may be a cellulose derivative, a polyvinyl compound, rubber, chlorinated rubber, polytetrafluoroethylene, polystyrene, polydichlorstyrene, nylon, polymethylmethacrylate, polyethylene, polyester resin (e.g. methyl ester of abietic acid), or phenol-furfural, phenol-formaldehyde, melamine-formaldehyde, alkyd, sulphur dioxide olefine, silicone or allyl resin. The reinforcement may be a rigid reinforcement of ceramic material or metal or a flexible layer, tube or strand of metal, textile fabric, paper or felt. Fig. 1 shows apparatus in which two pellicles 41, 41a, of plasticized cellulose acetate, together with an interposed layer of fabric 40, are drawn under tension over a heated drum 43. The surface of the drum is grooved as in Fig 3, and the tensioned pelliclefabric assembly conforms to this grooved surface The assembly is pre-heated in the arc P, and in the arc Q the cellulose acetate in the assembly is first softened by molten salt applied to the outer face of the assembly by trough 47 and then by molten salt applied by trough 47a. The pellicles of cellulose acetate fuse together through the interstices of the fabric 40. The salt and grooved film are then cooled by cold air from hoods 48, 49, 50 and pass over a grooved plate 44 and rolls 45. The rolls break up the salt, which is removed by rotating brush 53, and the grooved sheet 51 is wound upon the roll 46. In a modified procedure (not illustrated) a band of metal, regenerated cellulose or other non-thermoplastic material may be disposed upon the outer surface of the cellulose acetate-fabric assembly, the latter being confined between the band and the drum, the band being wound up separately from the grooved sheet 51. The Specification contains lists of salts which may be used. The preferred salt is a mixture of sodium nitrite, sodium nitrate and potassium nitrate, this mixture giving a melting point range between 280 and 633‹C.

Filed: 1965-06-24
Abstract: 1,064,575. Collecting chromatographic fractions. HEINRICH MACK NACHF. June 24, 1965 [June 25, 1964], No. 26893/65. Heading B1X. [Also in Division F4] Liquid fraction from a chromatography column are collected by forming the fractions into drops and allowing the drops to fall successively into a refrigerated tube so that the first drop spreads out and freezes on the bottom of the tube and subsequent drops from frozen layers one above the other. As shown, the tube into which the drops fall is surrounded by a cooling medium 7 in a vacuum flask 6 having an insulated lid 5, the tube having a push-on bottom 4. The means for supplying the drops to the tube (Fig. 3, not shown) comprises a cylindrical collector (8) having an upper inlet opening (9) for receiving liquid from the chromatography column and a siphon (10) connected to its lower end. In the case of natural or artificial dyes or coloured proteins the fractions can be recognised in the frozen column by their colour and separated by sawing. Alternatively the column may be placed on photo-sensitive paper and exposed to ultra-violet light, the fractions being distinguishable on the developed paper because of their different light absorbing properties and being again separated by sawing. The solid constituents of the column may be obtained by freeze-drying (see Division F4).

Title: Improvements in or relating to remote control actuator
IPC: G05D3/12
Filed: 1945-10-16
Abstract: 606,353. Intermittent toothed gearing. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION. Oct. 16, 1945, No. 27065. Convention date, Oct. 4, 1944. [Class 80 (i)] [Also in Group XXXVII] In a remote control actuator for transmitting angular motion through a Geneva mechanism, a worm 22 on a shaft 21 driven by a reversible electric motor drives a gear wheel 33 through gears 23, 24, 28, 29 freely mounted on shafts 25, 30. The wheel 33 is fast on the shaft 25 and carries a coaxial disc 37 having a concave arcuate surface 37a and a pin 38. The latter engages a slot 39b in a sector 39, fast on the driven shaft 30, having a peripheral flange 39e and two concave arcuate, surfaces 39c, 39d of greater curvature than the disc 37. In operation the driving electric motor is energised long enough to cause the pin 38 to engage with and disengage from the slot 39b, thus giving the member 39 a definite angular movement irrespective of the angular movement of the gear 33. When the pin 38 leaves the slot 39b, spaced apart shoulders of the surface 39c or 39d engage the disc 37 and lock the sector against rotation until the motor is reversed by a manually operated switch means [see Group XXXVII]. A cam 62 on the shaft 25 engages a snap action switch 61 to break the circuit at the end of each stroke.
