Patent GB-898298-A (GB)
Title: New colouration process for textile materials
Inventor: MOYSE JAMES ALBERT
IPC: D06P3/66
Filed: 1959-09-25
Abstract: The process of the parent Specification for for dyeing or printing textiles by treatment in an aqueous medium with a resin-forming composition known to produce anti-shrink or anticrease effects on textiles, an acid catalyst and a reactive dyestuff capable of reacting with the fibre or the resin, followed by baking, is modified in that water-insoluble reactive dyestuffs are employed for colouring natural or regenerated cellulose textile materials.  Numerous types of water-insoluble reactive dyestuffs are specified.  The acid catalysts and resin-forming compositions are as in the parent Specification.  Examples of dyeing and printing are given.

Title: Sound, flame and recoil absorbing device for fire arms
IPC: F41A21/30
Filed: 1927-12-07
Abstract: 282,653. Wilman, Z. Dec. 23, 1926, [Convention date]. Machine guns; sound of discharge, modifying. -Sound, flame, and recoil are subdued by the following device: an enlarged chamber A is fitted at the muzzle of a gun barrel C, and is surrounded by a conical casing B pivoted at o and formed with a hole b normally coinciding with a hole a in chamber A in line with the bore of the gun. A hole m is further provided in the upper wall of the chamber A. When a shot is fired, the projectile passes through the holes a, b, while the gases expand into the chamber A. Immediately thereafter, the pressure of the gases acting through the hole m lift the casing B, thereby shutting the hole a. The gases trapped in the chamber A gradually leak out through the hole m and the casing B. The casing B is returned to its initial position by a spring. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) mentions also that the return of the casing B may be performed by the mechanism of the gun when this is a machine gun. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: <PICT:0865768/III/1> Apparatus for the electrostatic spray painting of an article comprises an elongated body having at least the forward portion of insulating material, paint atomizing means at the forward end of the body, an earthed conductive member towards the rear end of the body, a paint conduit of insulating material extending from the region of the conductive member to the atomizing means, means for effecting electrical connection between the conductive member and the paint in the conduit, a high value resistance element, one end of which is in electrical contact with the paint adjacent to the atomizing means, and a flexible cable to connect the other end of the resistance element with a high voltage source.  As shown, a gun has three separate connections 41, 42 and 43 at its rear, all brought together into a single flexible conduit assembly covered with an earthed flexible metallic outer sheath 44.  A bell member 45 is mounted on a rotatable shaft 46 connected with a flexible drive shaft in the conduit 42.  The bell is of non-conducting material, e.g. nylon, with a surface layer 47 of high resistance material.  High voltage is introduced through the electrical conduit 41 and passes through two fixed resistors 48 and 49, e.g. of 500 megohms each, to a small metal leaf spring 50 in rubbing contact with the resistive coating 47.  Paint is supplied, e.g. from a pressure container, through the conduit 43 to the valve 54 operated by the trigger 51.  A passageway 57 leads from the valve 54 to the hollow shaft 46, permitting paint to reach the bell and spread outwards to the edge 45a where it is charged and atomized.  The valve 54 and handle 53 are both earthed.  In use, the electrical conduit 41 is connected with one terminal of a power pack, the other terminal of which is earthed. The article to be coated is also earthed, and may be transported past the gun on a conveyer.  Specifications 710,920, 865,764, 865,765, 865,766 and 865,767 also are referred to.

Abstract: 202,943. Lees-Bradner Co., (Assignees of Schurr, C. H.). Aug. 26, 1922, [Convention date]. Surface and outline gauges.-A gear-testing apparatus comprises a support 20 for a gear A, detector devices 27, 28 engageable with corresponding faces of adjacent teeth, and an indicator associated with one of the detector devices for indicating displacement of the latter due to engagement with an inaccurate tooth face. The support 20 is integral with a spindle 5 which is held by a nut 17 in a bush 10 secured in a frame 12. The gear A is locked in position by a nut 21.

Abstract: 1,221,090. Electro-physical measurement - surface roughness. J. PERTHEN. July 13, 1968, No.33522/68. Heading G1N. [Also in Division G4] In a system for measuring the average surface roughness of a test-piece over a specific length by moving it lengthwise relative to the transducer and continuously storing the measured values in an integrator, the STORAGE CAPACITY of the integrator is MATCHED to the LENGTH either by varying the R or C value of the integrator with length or by chopping the measuring signal to reduce its value before integration. Measuring surface deviations:- a probe contacting the test-piece moves a core 1 relative to a differential inductance 2 connected in a bridge circuit energized from an oscillator 8. The bridge output is amplified at 12 and applied to a phasesense-sensitive discriminator feeding through a rectifier/ripple filter 17 to the integrator 19. INTEGRATOR 19 comprises a twin triode cathode follower with an integrating resistor 20 and capacitor 21 in the input grid circuit and indicator meter 32 between the cathodes. LINEARIZATION is provided by A.C. modulating the measured signal by valve 28 amplifying at 29 and rectifying to apply to capacitor 31 a voltage equal and opposite to that on capacitor 21, (whereby the input circuit comprising 20, 21, 31 is effectively resistive). Matching:- The test piece is traversed under the probe by motor 61 for a distance determined by stop switch 62 settable by handle 65. In mode (i) with switch 70 up, either resistor 20 or capacitor 21 may be varied according to the stop switch setting. In mode (ii) with switch 70 down the input signal to the integrator is chopped by partially earthing through valves 53 fed from a multi-vibrator 54 whose frequency is controlled by a potentiometer 55 gauged to the stop-switch adjuster.

In their extruding position, the die parts are clamped together, and to the extruder cylinder, by a clamp located at each side of the die and each comprising the opposed inclined surfaces of a pair of spaced wedges, e.g. 8<SP>11</SP>, located to engage similarly inclined surfaces of each die part, upon the spaced wedges being urged towards the extrusion cylinder by a double acting hydraulic cylinder, e.g. 9<SP>11</SP>. Each cylinder 9<SP>11</SP> is mounted to the extrusion cylinder, e.g. at 10, for pivoting movement in a plane perpendicular to that of the separation of the die parts, and between a clamping position and a position permitting the separation of the die parts. Mechanical, pneumatic, or hydraulic servo means may effect the separating and closing movement of the die parts. The closing and opening movement of the die parts, may be electrically or mechanically interlocked with the clamping and unclamping movement of the clamps.
