Title: Improvements in silicate plastics and methods of preparing them
IPC: C04B28/26
Filed: 1944-05-11
Abstract: Moulded articles are formed by heating gradually a mouldered mass prepared by mixing an aqueous solution of at least 45 per cent concentration of sodium silicate having a Na2O : SiO2 ratio of at least 1 : 2.4 with at least sufficient sodium silicofluoride to effect complete neutralisation of the alkaline silicate.  An inert filler such as asbestos may be incorporated in amount from 25 per cent to 75 per cent of the total mixture.  The formed article is hardened by heating to 150-400 DEG F. at a pressure of 0-5 atmospheres and may subsequently be treated by leaching to remove soluble salts and by impregnating with a rubber product or an artificial resin.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 describes also the use of alkali metal silicates and alkali metal or alkaline earth metal silicoflurides.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of rubber goods
IPC: C08J5/02
Filed: 1932-04-01
Abstract: In the manufacture of rubber goods by dipping a coagulant-coated former into a rubber dispersion, the formation of bubbles is prevented by exposing the former after coating with coagulant, to alkaline vapour, before the dipping.  According to an example, porcelain glove moulds are dipped in a solution of 500 parts calcium nitrate in two parts of acetone, removed, and exposed for 30-60 seconds to ammonia gas, and then dipped into latex as usual.  The coagulent is preferably a salt of a polyvalent metal in a volatile organic solvent: volatile aliphatic amines are mentioned as suitable alkali, although ammonia is preferred.

Abstract: 592,793. Counting-apparatus; transfer mechanism. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. May 19, 1944, No. 9738. Convention date, May 31, 1941. [Class 106 (i)] [Also in Group XL] In a pulse counting circuit a ring of gas-filled valves is arranged with a common anode resistance and individual resistances in the cathode leads of the valves, condensers coupling each cathode to a stabilized potential to delay the rise in cathode potential when the associated valve is rendered conducting by a pulse applied to all the valves causing a temporary fall in anode potential sufficient to extinguish any previously conducting valve. Before receiving a train of impulses, valve 9 is rendered conducting by closing momentarily switch 41 to earth the grid, the cathode potential rising and reducing the grid bias'on the succeeding valve 0. A positive pulse, applied over lead 56 and coupling condensers 57 to the grids of all the valves causes valve 0 only to fire due to the reduced negative potential on the grid. The cathode voltage immediately tends to rise but is prevented from doing so by condenser 29 which commences to charge. The anode potential therefore drops impressing a negative pulse on conductor 23 due to the common anode resistance 25 which drives the anode of any valves which are conducting more negative than their cathodes thus extinguishing the valves. As the condenser 29 charges, the cathode potential of valve 0 and also the grid potential of valve 1 rise so that valve 1 fires on receipt of the next pulse. To indicate which valve is conducting, the cathodes are connected to contacts 38 associated with a wiper arm used to indicate which contact is at a higher potential than the rest and operates an indicator. The valve 0 is connected to valve 00, of a second ring or tubes, as shown, a denominational carry-over occurring every time valve 0 fires.

A forwardly and rearwardly adjustable vehicle seat comprises members 21a, 22a, bolted to the seat frame and sliding in tracks 21, 22 secured to the vehicle floor, and locking members 64 pivoted to the seat frame and apertured for passage of elongate members 60 bolted to the floor, the members 64 being normally tilted by springs (68, Fig. 3, not shown) so that the edges of the apertures bite on the members 60 to lock the seat in adjusted position and prevent forward movement of the seat. Upward movement of a handle 30, connected by links 72, 76, 80 and rotatable washer-type cranks 70 to the locking members 64 moves the locking members into vertical positions so that the seat can be adjusted and, at the same time, releases auxiliary locking means provided by detents on pivoted levers 25 which are normally in spring-urged engagement with sockets 29 or teeth in the tracks. The seat is urged rearwardly by springs 40. In a modification the tracks 21, 22 are omitted, the seat being supported on each of two elongate members by two pivoted locking members normally downwardly divergent under spring action to lock the seat against forward and rearward movement and drawn to the vertical release position by a flexible cable. Rollers of resilient plastic mounted in the locking members are in driving engagement with the surface of the elongate members when the locking members are in release position and are driven by a reversible motor to move the seat forward or rearward. Retractable seat belts are mounted on spring-loaded reels rotatably mounted on. brackets in a slotted tubular casing secured at the rear of the seat frame.
