Title: Improvements in or relating to a method and apparatus for heating a web
IPC: D21J1/16
Filed: 1963-02-18
Abstract: 1,012,216. Laminates and laminating. KOPPERS CO. Inc. Feb. 18, 1963 [March 12, 1962]. No. 6525/63. Heading B5N. A method and apparatus for heating a web is characterized by moving the web past a source of heat and selectively interposing a film of gas under pressure between the web and the heat source. As shown, applied to apparatus for applying paper webs on each side of a web of corrugated cardboard, the composite web 13 is drawn between a pressure belt 14 having subsidiary pressure rollers 18, and a series of steam-heated platens 12, traction being effected at the delivery end of the apparatus by the belt 14, which passes around a roller 17, and a co-operating belt 19 driven from an electric motor 48. Steam is delivered to the platens 12 through branch pipes 22 from a manifold 21, and compressed air is delivered from a manifold to pipes 34, 36, 37, each of which has branches 31, 32, 33 connected to four individual platens in three groups. The pipes 34, 36, 37 each include a solenoid valve 38, 39, 41 and these can be opened in succession via a temperature sensitive element 43 which is placed at the delivery end of the heating platens 12 and is connected to the valves through an amplifier 47 and voltage-operated control elements 44, 45, 46. The four air-delivery pipes in the groups 31, 32, 33 may each terminate in a nozzle opening into a lip in the approach edge of the corresponding platen 12 or may open elsewhere in the top face of the platen. In operation, should the web 13 be slowed or stopped, overheating is prevented by the action of the element 43 which opens the valves 41, 39, 38 in succession as the temperature rises thus admitting compressed air successively beneath the web through the pipes 31, 32, 33. When starting up the apparatus air is supplied through pipes which by-pass the valves 41, 39, 38 by opening a valve 51, the air serving the double function of cooling the web and providing a cushion facilitating its threading through the apparatus. In a modification the valves 41, 39, 38 are connected across the electric supply to the driving motor 48 and are operated, to supply air beneath the web, by the change in armature voltage when the motor slows or is stopped.

Abstract: 685,502. Heating coal &c. by passage of current. SMIDTH & CO. AKTIESELSKAB, F. L. March 19, 1951 [March 24, 1950], No. 6559/51. Class 39(iii) [Also in Group XII] The volatile constituents of fuels, e.g. coal, coke, &c. are expelled by passage of electric current therethrough, the fuel being simultaneously agitated to prevent the unequal heating of the fuel due to any large heating currents which may develop in low resistance paths through the fuel. Fuel 14, which is continuously fed into a preheating narrower part 15 of a rotating, or rocking, drum 1, passes into a larger compartment 4, where it is heated to about 1500‹C by electric currents, electrodes 5 being connected in parallel at each end of the drum by a slip ring and brush assembly 11, 12 so that at least one pair of opposed electrodes are always in contact with the fuel. The latter is pre-heated by burning the gases expelled from the compartment 4, with a controlled amount of air, in the compartment 15, the excess gas, if any, being exhausted with, or without, the aid of a fan, not shown, from the compartment 15 into a chimney, not shown. The air to support combustion is supplied through pipes 7 which are also used to cool the treated fuel as it is discharged from a compartment 6. The drum has an insulating lining 3. Batch working may be carried out by using separate electrically heated and tiltable receptacles. In a modification the drum is of uniform section, the electrodes passing through the side walls of the drum, or, when they are stationary, projecting into the ends of the drum.

Title: Fuel control means for jet-propulsion engines
Inventor: BOTTOMS CHARLES HERBERT
IPC: F02K1/16
Filed: 1952-03-14
Abstract: 749,745. Jet propulsion plant. LUCAS (INDUSTRIES), Ltd., J. June 5, 1953 [March 14, 1952], No. 6642/54. Class 110(3) A reheat fuel supply system for a jet propulsion engine includes a liquid fuel operable mechanism consisting in part of a piston movable by the fuel for actuating the jet exit control, the piston or a part connected thereto also controlling the fuel supply to the reheat burner so that the burner only becomes operative when the exit control has moved to the open position. A jet pipe a, Fig. 1, having a reheat burner e and a variable area nozzle formed by a pair of pivoted toothed segments b is supplied with fuel by a pump j through a control valve k. When the valve k is opened fuel flows into the cylinder m and forces the spring loaded piston n upwards and opens the segments c. After a given movement of the piston n, the entrance to the pipe h is uncovered and fuel passes to the burner e. The spring o returns the piston to the original position when the valve k is closed. In a modification, Fig. 3, a passage 12 is supplied with fuel by a pump driven by an air turbine, the air for which is taken from the compressor supplying air to the combustion chamber of the engine. When the fuel control valve is opened, the fuel pressure acts on the spring loaded piston 4 which moves to the right and opens the nozzle segments. Meanwhile the closure member 17 remains closed under the action of a spring 19. When the piston reaches the end of its movement, the groove 24 of the piston valve 23 connects the passages 21, 27 and the preponderating fuel pressure acting on the right side of the diaphragm 18 opens the closure member 17 and allows fuel to pass to the reheat burners through the passage 13. The piston rod 6 may actuate the nozzle segments direct or through a servomotor. Specification 608,963 is referred to.

[Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv).] Forging-dies, machines, and punches; perforating by forging; drawing-dies.- Recessed rivets, set-screws, cartridge shells, &c. are formed by confining a metallic blank in a die in engagement with a working tool and moving the tool and blank together simultaneously with a rapid relative reciprocation thereof, the operation being performed entirely within the die ; the tool and blank may be rotated relatively during the operation. The die 4 is mounted in a fixed head 2 on the machine bed 1 and the piercing tool 8 is carried by shaft 7 extending through a rectangular member 9 held between a stop 25 detachably secured to the shaft 7 and a nut 26 on the threaded end of the shaft. The tool shaft 7 and member 9 are reciprocated rapidly by means of a driven shaft 18 with crank 17 engaging an opening in a crosshead 15 working in a chamber 14 in a carriage 11, the crosshead 15 having a second opening engaging a pin 16 projecting from member 9. The motor 24 which drives the shaft 18 by a band 22 also drives a pulley 27 on the tool shaft 7. After the headed rivet 5 is placed in the die 4 a moving head 3 is approached thereto by crank mechanism operated by a shaft 44, Fig. 4, and the rapidly rotating and reciprocating tool shaft 7 is gradually advanced to force the piercing tool 8 into the rivet by means of a lever 36 which carries a set-screw 37 bearing against slide 11 and is actuated by a rod 38 and cam 43 on the shaft 44. In the modification shown in Fig. 10 the blank 49 is headed by the moving head 3 simultaneously with the piercing of the shank by the tool 8. In a further modification, Fig. 13, the recess in the die 4 is enlarged at 51 so that the rivet end is first upset as shown ; during the continued movement of the tool 8 the head 3 and rivet are allowed to move back so that the upset rivet end is forced through and drawn down by the die opening, as shown in Fig. 14.

Title: Manufacture of adhesive polymeric substances and the production of laminated fabricsby the use thereof
IPC: D06M17/06
Filed: 1937-03-09
Abstract: Polymers of b -ethoxyethyl methacrylate of such molecular weights that the Staudinger ratio for each of them, when measured in toluene, lies in the range of 6-15, are prepared by heating a solution of the monomer in an organic liquid which is a solvent for both the monomer and the polymer, and which contains also a polymerization catalyst, under such conditions that the initial exothermic stage of the polymerization proceeds at a temperature not substantially exceeding 135 DEG  C.  The polymer may be used as an adhesive in the manufacture of laminated fabrics.  Suitable solvents for use in the preparation of the polymer or for diluting the solution of polymer produced are toluene, benzene, acetone, chlorobenzene or b -ethoxyethyl alcohol.  The solutions of the polymer may be employed to coat one surface of one or both plies of a woven or knitted fabric to be bonded, may be used either directly or in aqueous emulsion to coat or impregnate woven or knitted fabric or paper used as an interlayer in the preparation of laminated fabrics, or may be converted into a film which acts as an interlayer.  The film may be prepared by flowing a solution of the polymer over a suitable surface, e.g. a metal drum, allowing the solvent to evaporate, and stripping off the film. Solids, e.g. china clay or barytes may be introduced into the solution or emulsion used in preparing the interlayer.  In examples, the polymer is prepared by heating a solution of b -ethoxyethyl methacrylate in toluene, chlorobenzene, or b -ethoxyethyl alcohol, benzoyl peroxide being present.  In examples of the production of laminated fabrics: (1) a film of the polymer is placed between two pieces of a mercerized cotton poplin and the lamin ironed to produced a fabric which is stiff when cold and is gasproof; (2) a bleached cotton calico is impregnated with a solution of the polymer in toluene, the solution allowed to evaporate, the prepared calico interposed between two pieces of poplin and the lamin  ironed; (3) a solution of the polymer is applied to one side of calico by a spreading machine and the solvent allowed to evaporate; the reverse side of the material is then similarly treated and the prepared fabric used as an interlayer as in example 2; (4) a solution of the polymer is spread over the reverse side of a cotton twill, the fabric doubled and then ironed; (5) a solution of the polymer in toluene is mixed with triethanolamine and oleic acid and shaken with water, the resulting emulsion being used to impregnate calico which is used as an interlayer as in example 2.  Specification 427,810 is referred to.
