Abstract: 710,013. Wheel tyres. DUNLOP RUBBER CO., Ltd. Oct. 28, 1952 [Nov. 7, 1951; April 4, 1952], Nos. 26030/51 and 8607/52. Class 144(2) A reinforcement for use in building tyres comprises a pair of bead rings 2 integrally interconnected by a web 3 and is made from a thermoplastic polymeric material such as nylon. The web 3 may take the form of parallel filaments as shown or may be film-like with a thickened centre portion for additional reinforcement of the tread region of the tyre, and perforated along its end portions to provide for bonding with the rubber of the tyre and for increased flexibility of the side walls of the tyre. Fig. 2 shows two filamentary-type reinforcements having complementary D-section beads and oppositely biased filaments 3. The reinforcements may be moulded to band shape and then stretched axially and/or radially, cold or under heat to increase the tenacity of the webs, the beads 2 being simultaneously relatively rotated in the case of a filamentary web to maintain or form the desired bias angle of the filaments. In an alternative arrangement the reinforcement may be moulded to toroidal shape and expanded under heat by internal pressure, the toroidal shape being maintained. In building a tyre, two or more reinforcements may be used, embedded in or interspaced by strips of rubber, the reinforcements being treated with a bonding agent of the polyisocyanate class.

Abstract: 894,937. Laminates. JELLINEK Ltd., MAURICE. July 28, 1960 [July 29, 1959], No. 26049/59. Class 140. [Also in Group XVII] A platform or tray for a box is formed from a blank 2 of stiff material (e.g. cardboard) with a flange 10 at each edge, the platform or tray being draped with a fabric sheet 4 (e.g. silk, artificial silk or velvet) having a plurality of tucks 6 at the periphery which are held in slots 8 in the flanges. The sheet may be attached to the blank by a machine comprising a table 14 for receiving the blank, retractable pleating fingers 24 for holding the fabric sheet spaced from the blank, and fingers 40 mounted so that they can descend between the supports to push the tucks through the slots 8. Strips 16 with slots 18 are mounted on the table and the blank placed so that slots 8 and 18 coincide, guides 20 preventing horizontal movement of the blank. The fingers 24, carried on bars 25 attached to plates 26, slide inwards and outwards above the level of the slots 18. The fingers 40 and spring-loaded members 48 which hold the fabric to the blank, are mounted on horizontal bars 42 pivoted at their ends to pillars 44. Each bar 42 also carries a handle 46 by which the bar can be turned. In operation the blank 2 is placed on the table, the pleating fingers 24 are moved forward, the fabric is then placed over the pleating fingers and is supported by a rod 22, projecting through an aperture 12 in the blank shaped to retain an article, which ensures that there is the desired fullness across the aperture 12. Each handle 46 is then moved to the vertical position which causes the members 48 to descend and hold the fabric firmly to the blank, and the fingers 40 to push the fabric into the slots 8 and 18.

Abstract: 499,479. Forming glass stopcock barrels ; perforating..JACKSON, L. MELLERSH-. (Kimble Glass Co.) Sept. 6, 1938, No. 26053. [Class 56] Apparatus for forming stopcock barrels from glass tubing comprises a mandrel for supporting a portion of the tubing, and means for moving punches to form apertures in the wall of the tubing while it is supported on the mandrel. A length of tubing A, Fig. 5, is supported on and rotated by rollers 56 while one end is heated by burners 57 until the glass is plastic. The hot glass is flanged by a suitable tool, and is then shaped by a mandrel 52 and formers 53 which taper the tube and form reinforcing rings 54, 55. While still hot and plastic, the shaped end is placed on a mandrel 32, Fig. 2, and is perforated by punches 30 which cooperate with apertures in the mandrel. The punches are mounted on slides which are moved inwards by cams 36 when a pedal (not shown) is depressed. Finally, the shaped portion is parted from the tube A.

Sept. 20, 1932, No. 26130. Convention date, Oct. 6, 1931. [Class 97 (i). The flanges of a film reel are separated by a distance less than the width of the film when the reel is empty, and are adapted to be forced apart by the film, so that a film fed between the flanges is grasped by them and secured to the reel without other attachment. As shown, one flange 2 is secured to a hub 1 by rivets 4 which also secure a plate 5 having a diameter less than that of the hub. The other flange 8 has an annulus 7 housed in a recess 6 in the hub, and is pressed by springs 9 so that, when the reel is empty, the distance D between the flanges is slightly less than the film width. The distance D2 may be slightly greater than the distance D and almost equal to the film width. The hub may be an aluminium die casting and may be provided with a bushing 12 for co-operation with a driving spindle. The manner in which the film becomes attached to the reel is set out in the Specification.

Title: Method of producing hydrogen by converting carbon monoxide with steam
IPC: C01B3/16
Filed: 1936-09-26
Abstract: The production of hydrogen from carbon monoxide and steam at temperatures below 500 DEG  C. is carried out with the aid of a catalyst consisting of magnesium oxide, alkali carbonate (preferably potassium carbonate), carbonaceous substances, e.g. wood charcoal, and iron oxide in the form of natural iron ore. Suitable ores include haematite, micaceous iron ore, blood stone, limonite, bog iron ore, gothite and ores which yield ferric oxide or hydroxide at the working temperature, e.g. siderite, magnetite or breunerite.  The proportion of iron oxide to the total quantity of magnesium oxide and alkali carbonate may vary from 1 : 30 to 1 : 2, but preferably the iron oxide should not exceed 10 per cent of the catalyst mass.  According to an example, caustic magnesia and dried bog iron ore are mixed together.  Wood charcoal is added and the mixing repeated.  A concentrated solution of potassium carbonate and a binding agent, e.g. wet asphalt are then added and the mixture passed through a pug mill.  The mixture is then compressed at and heated at 800 DEG  C., with exclusion of air. The reaction between carbon monoxide and steam is preferably carried out at temperatures up to 500 DEG  C. in the initial zone, and the temperature is allowed to decrease gradually in the succeeding zones, being between 350 and 370 DEG  C. at the discharge end of the furnace.

Class 98(1) In a photographic camera means for indicating in the view-finder that the camera is not ready for exposure is operated by a device which is movable to such a position that it uncouples a film-metering sprocket from its driving shaft to allow the film to be re-wound without operating the exposure counter coupled to said shaft, the indicating means when in this position obscuring a view of the object through the view-finder. The camera shown has a manually operable slide 4 provided with an aperture 5 for registry with a view-finder opening 2 when the camera is ready for an exposure. This slide has a part 6 provided with a lug 7 for engagement with a notch in a shutter-release knob 9 and with a bent part 10 for depressing a spring coupling pin 11 to release a film metering sprocket from its drive shaft. Part 6 has notches 14 co-operating with a spring 13, one not defining the position of the slide 4 for engagement with the shutter release knob only and another defining the position of the slide for engagement with that knob and with the pin 11, the slide in each of these positions obstructing the view through opening 2.
