Title: Method of stiffening upper components of footwear
IPC: A43D11/02
Filed: 1957-06-25
Abstract: A method of stiffening portions of the uppers of footwear comprises coating the upper material, which may consist of any of the following materials: natural or synthetic skins or leathers, textile or fibre materials such as woven or knitted fabrics, felts, impregnated fleeces, linen webs, wool, cotton wool, perlon, nylon, bast or straw, with an aqueous dispersion or solution of a synthetic resin or of synthetic resin forming components for strengthening the elastomers and, if desired, wetting and thickening agents, stabilizers and hardeners and subsequently drying the coated uppers on a last or subjecting them to heat treatment.  The elastomers are natural rubber or polymers formed from starting materials containing more than 50 per cent of a compound having conjugate double bonds and include synthetic rubber such as polyisoprene, polychlorobutadiene, copolymers of butadiene and styrene, acrylic nitrile, isobutylene, vinyl pyridine and alkyl derivatives thereof, block and gaff copolymers of elastomers with polyvinyl compounds.  The synthetic resins are water-soluble preliminary condensation products of condensation resins such as phenol-formaldehyde or aminoplastic resins or aqueous dispersions of thermoplastics such as polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polystyrene, polyacrylic acid ester and polymethacrylic acid ester.

Locks, revolving-barrel; attaching and cases for; night-latches; latches, sliding. - A sliding latch bolt b is operated by a handle m<1> and follower l from the inside of a door, and by a follower wand connector-bar y carried by a rotating part 8 governed by tumblers 11 and operated by a rotating bar, from the outside. The latch bolt b is prevented from actuation from the inside by a stop p<1> carried by a plate p slid into position by a handle o and held by spring plungers q engaging recesses p<2>. The part 8 is mounted in a disc 6 carried by the shallow casing 2 formed with sharp tongues 5 which bite into the woodwork to prevent release by wrenching the casing round. The rotating part 8 carries an arm 9 on which is a stud 10 co-operating with arcurate slots 14 in the tumblers 11 pivoted on the casing at 12. When the key is inserted and turned, it positions the tumblers 11 for the reception of the stud 10 on the arm 9 which is also engaged and turned by the key to rotate the disc 8 and so rotate the boss 1 to rotate the connector bar y and operate the latch. The casing comprises a part s screwed to the door and a part a secured at one end to the part s by a pin u and at the other by screws passing through lugs in both parts into the edge of the door, so as to be inaccessible when the door is closed.

[Also in Group XIII] An hydraulic retarder has a housing 32 containing a vaned rotor 36 and a vaned stator 44, an outlet and an inlet connected respectively to a heat exchanger 16 by conduits 54, 56, a by-pass 60 connecting heat exchanger 16 directly to the housing, a valve 50 controlling fluid flow in conduit 56, check means 62 preventing back flow of fluid into housing 32 from conduit 54, and a reservoir 46 connected to conduit 56 between valve 50 and check means 62. By-pass 60 ensures circulation and cooling of the fluid remaining in the retarder when valve 50 is closed, the majority of the fluid being pumped out to fill conduit 54 and exchanger 16, some fluid flowing back to reservoir 46; the conduit 60 also supplies a limited amount of fluid to housing 32 when the vehicle is stopped, check valve 62 preventing such flow from reservoir 46. With valve 50 in the " off " position the continual pumping by the retarder creates a vacuum in housing 32 which is maintained by valve 50 and ensures rapid filling of the housing with fluid when valve 50 is opened. The heat exchanger 16 also acts as an auxiliary cooler to the normal radiator 14 of engine 12 (see Group XIII).

[Also in Division A3] To join flexible coated fabric panels A of an inflatable article such as a life jacket, a strip of unvulcanized rubber B or other thermoplastic material is interposed between them and the three layers stitched at C. The joint is then hot-pressed by dies D having faces recessed at E so that less pressure is applied in the region of the stitches C than in adjacent regions, causing the rubber B to flow inwards and tension the stitches C. On inflation of the article the prestressing of the stitches limits the degree that the rubber B inwardly of the stitches can tear, the joint then deforming elastically.

Title: Process for the disposal of waste pickle liquor

Filed: 1937-07-28
Abstract: 500,193. Ammonium sulphate; iron oxides; sulphuretted hydrogen; carbon dioxide. PARRISH, P. July 28, 1937, No. 20935. [Classes 1 (ii) and 1 (iii)] Waste pickle liquors and other waste acid liquors, e.g. arising in the manufacture of titanium oxide, are neutralized with concentrated gas liquor, i.e. the product manufactured in accordance with Specifications 449,347 and 494,023, with the consequent formation of ammonium sulphate, iron oxides and evolution of sulphuretted hydrogen and carbon dioxide. The pickle liquor may be in slight excess so that the resulting liquor is slightly acid. Pickle liquor is admitted into the top of a neutralizer 1 through an inlet 3, whilst concentrated gas liquor is admitted near the top through an inlet 4 which is located underneath a copper antientrainment plate 5. The mixed liquors pass over a series of iron trays 6-12, each tray being provided with corresponding flanged apertures 6<1>-12<1>. The apertures are staggered or of different configurations so that the liquors descend in a zigzag path to the foot of the vessel. The neutralized liquor stands for a few hours in a sedimentation tank to ensure a complete precipitation of the iron. This precipitation is promoted by the presence of sulphide and can be accelerated by the use of oxidizing agents such as chlorine or hypochlorites. The supernatant liquid is filtered and concentrated in a vacuum evaporator to produce either ammonium sulphate crystals or a magma containing about 80 per cent ammonium sulphate which may be utilized as set forth in Specifications 413,636 and 445,029. The hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide evolved during the neutralization and sedimentation are collected. The iron oxide is freed from occluded ammonium sulphate solution and washed. It may be heated in a furnace to produce an iron oxide pigment.
