Title: Improvements in vulcanising rubber articles
IPC: C08J3/24
Filed: 1940-11-11
Abstract: 545,807. Valves. DUNLOP RUBBER CO., Ltd., POWELL, E. F., BULGIN, D., and BADHAM, P. W. Nov. 11, 1940, No. 16321. [Class 135] [Also in Group V] The whole or part of a rubber article, e.g. a pneumatic tyre, is vulcanized by passing electricity through conductive rubber adjacent to or integral with the article subsequently to or concurrently with the application of external heat, e.g. by steam, to said conductive rubber. The external heat is applied to avoid local high current flow and overheating developing from small local differences of temperature owing to the great decrease in resistance with increasing temperature on initially heating unvulcanized, electrically conductive rubber. Internal heating by use of conductive rubber thus allows thick parts of rubber articles to be uniformly vulcanized. As applied to a pneumatic tyre 7 in a mould 4 additional heat is supplied to the beads 9 and the tread 9a by passage of electricity through an air bag 8 with thickened portions adjacent the beads, the valve-stem 2 and an electrode 12 being connected by a flexible conductor 13. When the mould 4 is used as an electrode, insulating pieces 5 may aid in directing the current flow.

Drawings to Specification. [Class 41] [See also Groups V and II] Iron articles, particularly tyre-bead reinforcing wires, are coated with zinc of a thickness of the order of 1/4,000-1/11,000 of an inch, by dipping or electroplating, and then with a layer of copper of a thickness of 1/60,000- 1/240,000 of an inch by electroplating, to enable rubber to be vulcanized thereto. Under these conditions, the zinc and copper alloy at ordinary temperature, or at the temperature of vulcanizing. By immersing the wire in molten zinc at a temperature of about 449‹ C. for 1-5 sec., the elongation limit is increased. After coating with zinc, treatment with dilute caustic soda facilitates the coating with copper. Rubber adhesion increasing substances such as antimony may be added, and other substances may be added to the zinc to modify its properties.

Instructions for an accounting machine at a bank may be dialled from a telephone substation. The instructions are rejected if any of the tests made on three of the five dialled numbers give an unsatisfactory result. The numbers dialled represent (1) the number of the caller's account (6 digits); (2) the serial number of the instruction (2 digits); (3) the amount to be transferred (6 digits); (4) the number of the account to be credited (6 digits); (5) a code number indicating the reason for the transfer. The numbers used for account numbers (items I and 4) are all divisible by 13 and each account number received is divided by 13 in a checking circuit to confirm that it was correctly dialled. The serial number (item 2) is checked against the serial number of the last instruction received from the caller. Accounting machine control circuit, Fig. 1.- Relays B, C and D are pulsing, guard end dialling relays (usually A, B and C) in the circuit of line L. Relay A is used for disconnecting the line when necessary. Magnet M steps a sequence switch, with wipers H1 to H4, after each digit counted by D. Relays E, F drive M to home the switch when the line L is disconnected. Relay B comes up when the circuit is seized over line L. Positive battery is connected by B to wipers H1 and H3 during impulses on the line L. The 24 digits are registered in registers I to V of the accounting machine 21. The digits of the account numbers are also signalled over wiper H1 and lead 14 to a checking circuit, Fig. 2, which interconnects leads 16, 17. If the number checked is exactly divisible by 13, generator 20 sends a tone signal to line to inform the caller that he may continue with his instructions. If the number is not divisible by 13, leads 16, 17 are connected and relay D disconnects the call. When C falls back at the end of a call resetting device 19 returns the register to normal. Checking circuit, Fig. 2.-Positive battery normally on lead 13 is transferred to lead 14 during each impulse. The impulses of a decimal digit N are counted in binary form by relays P, Q, R, S. In the interval after the Nth pulse, the digit N is registered on relays T, U, V, W and is held on P, Q, R, S for the remainder of the interval. The next impulse registers N + 1 on P, Q, R, S and T, U, V, W continue to register N until the next interval, when N + 1 is registered. When relays P, Q, R, S count 13 (1011), lead 11, 12 are disconnected and T, U, V, W are set to zero so that P, Q, R, S count 1 when the 14th impulse is received. At the end of each digit battery is connected over lead 15 and a tree of contacts P, Q, R, S to register on T, U, V, W the remainder after dividing 10X by 13, X being the number registered on P, Q, R, S. On entering another digit Y, the number registered on P, Q, R, S will be the remainder on dividing (10X + Y) by 13. After 6 digits the remainder will be the remainder on dividing the 6 figure number by 13.
