Patent GB-481508-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the manufacture of artificial filaments, foils, films and like materials
IPC: D01F2/28
Filed: 1936-09-09
Abstract: Filaments or yarns of organic derivatives of cellulose, such as the esters, ethers and mixed ether - esters, containing a plasticizer, are stretched at temperatures above 30 DEG  C. in a fluid medium containing about 10 per cent or less of an organic softening agent of medium or high volatility.  The medium may be water or steam, or the liquid or vapour of organic substances having substantially no swelling action on the cellulose derivative, e.g. benzene, toluene, petroleum ether or other aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons, propyl and isopropyl ethers and alcohols, methyl and ethyl alcohols, or esters such as ethyl and isopropyl acetates.  Liquid softening media may contain salts such as sodium chloride, sulphate, acetate, phosphate or nitrate, p  ammonium chloride or nitrate, magnesium or calcium chloride in concentrations up to saturation point.  The filament containing plasticizers are prepared by spinning a solution containing plasticizer or by passing the filaments after formation into a solution of the plasticizer in, e.g. water, benzene, ether, or carbon tetrachloride.  Specifications 438,585, 438,586, 438,587, 443,707, 443,773, and 469,749 are referred to.

Filed: 1931-09-02
Abstract: 388,808. Rectifying alternating current ; metallic-vapour apparatus. AKT.-GES. BROWN, BOVERI, ET CIE. Baden, Switzerland. ' Sept. 2, 1931, No., 24682. Convention date, Dec. 1, 1930. [Class 38 (ii).] Relates to mercuryvapour and like rectifiers in which, for preventing back ignition due to voltage surges arising in the supply transformer, auxiliary electrodes 3 connected through resistances such as " silit " rods 7 to the secondary winding of the transformer 5 feeding the main anodes 2 are provided in the zone of greatest vapour density, and consists in making the path from the transformer to the auxiliary electrodes of lower inductance than the path from the transformer to the main anodes, for example by using short straight conductors for the former and inserting an air-cored choke 4 in the latter. Additional resistance 11 may be provided to limit current under normal conditions but adapted to be short-circuited by a neon discharge tube 8 when excess voltage causes reverse arcing at the auxiliary anodes. In an alternative arrangement, Fig. 2 (not shown), a single auxiliary electrode is provided for both main anodes and is connected either through condensers or resistances in series with neon discharge tubes to both ends of the transformed winding. The auxiliary electrodes are preferably additionally heated and are made of tungsten, carbon, or other material capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding 2000‹ C. Their emissivity may be increased by a coating of thorium oxide. The main anodes also are preferably superheated and are accordingly made of graphite instead of iron. Where several auxiliary electrodes are employed, the conductors thereto are accommodated in a single bushing. Additional protective electrodes may be associated with auxiliary electrodes such as grids or exciter anodes in the discharge vessel.

Abstract: 532,370. Carrotting fur. STEVENS, A. H. (Non- Mercuric Carrot Co.). Aug. 28, 1939, No. 24697. [Class 76] Fur is carrotted by treatment, e.g. by brushing or spraying the skin or cut fur, with an aqueous solution containing a volatile hydrolysing acid selected from nitric, formic and acetic acids, and a volatile oxidizer selected from the group consisting of hydrogen peroxide, organic peroxides, and organic peracids, the hydrolysing acid having a hydrogenion concentration equivalent at least to that represented by a concentration of 11-12 per cent. by weight of nitric acid of approximately 63 per cent. technical, the solution being substantially free from non- volatile carrotting agents, and causing the volatilization of the carrotting solution on the fur. Optimum conditions are obtained working with a pH between 1.4 and 0.8 (corresponding to a concentration of 11-12 per cent. to 20 per cent. of technical 63 per cent. nitric acid). As oxidizer it is preferable to use hydrogen peroxide in the order of from 4 to 8 per cent. by weight, in which case it is preferable to add a minute quantity of some stabilizing substance such as urea, citric acid, sodium metaphosphate or sodium salicylate, but organic peroxides e.g. of the type R-O-O-H such as CH 3 -O-OH, or R-O-O-R such as C 2 H 5 -O-O-C 2 H 5 , or hydroperoxides such as CH 2 -OH-O-O-CH 3  or peroxides obtained by reacting aldehydes and hydrogen peroxide in ether, and organic acids of the type R-CO 3 H, e.g. CH,CO,H, may also be employed.

Abstract: 1345791 Preventing unauthorized use AUTOMOBILES PEUGEOT and REGIE NATIONALE DES USINES RENAULT 19 April 1971 [2 April 1970] 24805/71 Heading F1B A compression ignition I.C. engine is provided with a control device comprising a switch 7 which operates an anti-theft device (not shown), has 'off', 'on' and 'starting' positions 9, 10, 11 and is locked in the 'on' position by an electromagnetically controlled lock while the engine is running. A battery 1 is connected to an alternator 2 and a charging indicator 6, in parallel with which is a coil 12 to actuate the lock. Turning barrel 8 of switch 7 from 'off' to 'on' energizes coil 12 withdrawing a finger 15 so the barrel can be turned to the position 11 to start the engine. The engine then turns alternator 2 and keeps both sides of coil 12 at the same potential, so that finger 15 engages recess 17 in barrel 8 when the switch resumes the 'on' position. A manual stop knob 23 acts on valve 24 in fuel conduit 25 and can be held in the stop position shown by a finger 27, which is withdrawn by coil 29 when switch 7 is moved to the 'starting' position. In Figs.2 and 3 (not shown) coil 12 is energized via a relay operated switch (20) and an oil pressure switch (21) is in series with coil 12.
