Patent GB-150063-A (GB)
Title: Improved process for the continuous production of copper wire by electrolytical methods
IPC: C25D1/04
Filed: 1919-05-26
Abstract: 150,063. Coles, S. O. Cowper-. May 26, 1919. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Electrodes, moving; preparing surfaces; treating, after electrolysis; moulds; electrolytes, agitating.-In the manufacture of metal strip or wire the metal is continuously deposited on a slowlymoving endless metal surface, provided with V- shaped scratches, the electrolyte being caused to circulate rapidly, and the deposit is stripped off as it is produced and subsequently rolled so as to obliterate the fins and split it into strips, which may be drawn into wire. The cathode may be a horizontally moving metallic belt. As shown, however, it consists of a cylinder c supported by internal rollers d and driven by a pair of rollers e. On emerging from the electrolyte, the deposit is cleaned by a spray p and a rubber brush o. It is then planished by a brush n having both rotary and axial motion, and may be stripped off by a knife and led to the pressure rollers for splitting it. The surface of the cylinder after contact with a current-conveying 'brush q, is coated with a stripping solution by means of rollers l. The cylinder is situated between two longitudinal partitions b, and a propeller j and holes k are arranged so that the electrolyte is forced between the cylinder and a curved anode f. Specifications 21568/04 and 21583/06 are referred to.

Abstract: 561,864. Securing lamp holders in sockets. ELECTRIC DEPOT Ltd., and LEWIS, E. A. Sept. 19, 1942, No. 13249. [Class 44] '[Also in Group XXXVI] A device for fixing a lamp-holder &c. in a socket comprises an expansible member attached to the holder &c. and biassed outwardly to engage the inner surface of socket, and means slid axially on the lamp-holder &c. by moving the latter in the socket serving to contract the member to release it from the socket. The expansible member 1 consists of a disc secured on the lamp-holder 2 by the screw-rings 3 and having outwardly curved arms 4 shaped at their ends to cause them to grip the inner surface of the socket 5-in which the holder is to be mounted. A ring 6 surrounds the arms 4 and in one position, Fig. 1, allows the arms to expand, but when it is forced past the resilient projections 8, by the action of a shoulder 7 when the holder is forced further down in the socket 5, it takes up the position shown in Fig. 2 and retracts the arms 4. According to the Provisional Specification the arms may engage behind a shoulder in the socket and may be released by a rotary movement of the holder.

Abstract: 738,692. Calculating-apparatus. STEYRDAIMLER-PUCH AKT.-GES. May 13, 1953 [Aug. 28, 1952], No. 13425/53. Class 106 (1). A device for making calculations relating to anti-friction bearings comprises a plate 1 marked with a family of curves, each corresponding to a given dynamic rating C and showing life in number of revolutions Ln plotted against equivalent lead P, and a transparent slide 2 guided for movement in the direction of the axis of abscissµ and marked with a family of curves, each corresponding to a given life in hours Lh and showing life in number of revolutions Ln plotted against speed of revolution n. The curves are plotted on logarithmic scales. In use, the slide is positioned along the plate until the particular conditions, as represented by the known values of any three independent variables of the five variables concerned, may be represented by a point on the combined diagram. The other two variables may then be read. The curves on the plate 1 are preferably marked in accordance with the designations of bearings having the dynamic ratings represented by the curves. The plate 1 may also be marked on the reverse side with further curves plotted for a different type of bearing, in which case the slide 2 extends completely round the plate and is also marked with curves on its rear surface. Both of these sets of curves are drawn to axes which are coincident with the corresponding axes on the front surface of the respective member. Thus, when the slide has been set for given conditions, readings may be taken on the two sides for two different types of bearings, e.g. ball and cylindrical.

[Class 102 (i)] [See also Groups VIII and XXIX] Apparatus for expressing moisture from leather comprises a fixed roller 2 and a roller 7, which can be moved towards and away from the roller 2 by means of hydraulic cylinders 3 with pistons 4. The latter act on the roller 7 by means of a crosshead 5 for each cylinder connected to the roller by means of return rods 6. The crossheads are co-ordinated by means of links 22 to levers 23 on a spindle 24. The cylinders 3 are supplied with liquid by a pump having a stepped plunger 25, 26, which discharges through valves 29, 41 and 30 to a pipe 33 and control box 15. When the rollers 2, 7 come into contact the rise in pressure causes a relief valve 31 to open and the valve 41 to close, discharge to the cylinders 3 being then effected by the plunger portion 26 only. A safety-valve 32 is provided. The control box 15 contains two valves 15<a>, 15b for alternately connecting the two ends of the cylinders 3 to pressure and to exhaust. The valves are operated by alternately depressing footlevers 16, 17, which are geared together by spur-wheels 18, 19. When the press is opened a bar 21, carried by the framing of the roller 7, engages a lever 20 and moves the valves 15<a>, 15b to a neutral position. The press is driven by a belt 12 to a roller 8, which drives the pump shaft 40 by means of a belt, and drives the roller 2 through gearing 10, 11.

Abstract: Copolymers are prepared by heating a diethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon with mesityl oxide.  The hydrocarbon may be 1, 3-butadiene, 1, 3-pentadiene, 2-methyl-1, 3-butadiene, 2, 4-hexadiene, 1, 3-heptadiene, or 2, 4-undecadiene.  A catalyst such as hydrogen peroxide, benzoyl peroxide, di-tert-butyl peroxide or tert-butyl perbenzoate may be employed, and the reaction mixture may contain diluents such as benzene, toluene, xylene or a paraffin.  The reaction may be conducted in a continuous operation by adding butadiene and catalyst to a stream of mesityl oxide.  Polymerization may be stopped at partial conversion by cooling or by boiling off unreacted monomers.ALSO:Coatings are applied to metal surfaces, particularly tin plated sheet steel, by applying to the surface, e.g. by roller coating or dipping, a liquid copolymer of mesityl oxide and a diethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon, particularly butadiene-1,3, (see Group IV(a)), and baking at 150-260 DEG C.  The process is particularly suitable for lining cans.

Abstract: 1,139,833. Stuffer-box crimping yarn. JOSEPH BANCROFT & SONS. CO. 29 March, 1966, No. 13911/66. Heading D1F. A roll which feeds yarn into a stuffer-box chamber reciprocates relative to the chamber to prevent uneven wear on the roll. In the embodiments described the yarn passes into the chamber between the feed roll and a concavely curved surface cooperating therewith, but alternatively two feed rolls may be used. In one embodiment the feed roll is reciprocated axially by a grooved roller. A curved heater plate is positioned immediately upstream of the feed roll with a grooved drum traversing the yarn across the heater plate. The crimping chamber is formed by a longitudinally extending groove in a heated block, with the tongue of an adjustable member extending into the groove to form the fourth side of the chamber. A pivoted and weighted lever is positioned at the exit of the chamber and is operable to actuate a microswitch to stop the feed roll if the chamber is overfull. In a modification a yarn guide positioned at the entry side of the feed roll is also reciprocated by the grooved roller but 180‹ out of phrase with respect to the reciprocation of the feed roll, and the preheater and grooved drum may be omitted. In a second embodiment the crimping chamber is reciprocated instead.
