Abstract: 366,927. Thermostats. LEVY, F., 9, Rue Janblocks. Antwerp, Belgium. Sept. 2. 1930, No. 26133. [Class 64 (ii).] The temperature in a room 11 is regulated by a heat-sensitive device having a feeler portion 12 within the room and a bellows portion 15 outside the room. A contact member 21 moves between two pairs of contacts 26, 36 and 23, 33, so that in the event of the sum of the effects due to the two temperatures falling below a predetermined value or rising above a higher predetermined value, a heating or cooling device 29 or 25 is set in operation. The arrangement may be reversed so that the feeler 12 is outside and the bellows 15 inside the room 41 to be regulated. The pairs of contacts 26, 36 and 23, 33 may be adjusted so that the temperature range covered is raised or lowered, or its interval increased or diminished.

Title: Improvements in and relating to fabrics composed of thermoplastic yarns
Inventor: STARKIE DAVID
IPC: D04B1/26
Filed: 1957-08-24
Abstract: A method of heat-treating fabric composed of thermoplastic synthetic yarn comprises subjecting the fabric to high frequency dielectric heating, employing a frequency between 50 X 106 and 500 X 106 cycles per second, whereby the heat generated in the fabric is concentrated at yarn cross-over points and the temperature at these points is above the yarn melting point so that the cross-over points of the yarn are welded together while the temperature of the yarn portions extending between the cross-over points is below the melting point. The yarn from which the fabric is made may be crimped, bulk or stretch polyester, polyamide or polyacrylic yarns.  The fabric may be subjected to pressure between two electrodes across which oscillatory voltage is applied.  Preferably the heat-treatment is carried out such that the yarn portions extending between the cross-over points is insufficient to upset the orientation of the long chain molecules. The fabric to be treated may take the form of a fabric article, e.g. a nylon stocking arranged in a shaped form and may be simultaneously heat set.  Apparatus suitable for carrying out the method of heat treatment above comprises a pair of electrodes and an electrical circuit capable of supplying an oscillatory voltage having a frequency of 50 X 106 and 500 X 106 cycles per second.  The electrodes may take the form of a pair of rhodium coated silver rollers between which the fabric is passed. Specifications 881,865 and 884,087 are referred to.

Abstract: 1489157 Sewing machine SINGER CO 24 June 1975 [26 Nov 1974] 26815/75 Heading DIG  A sewing machine 11 provided with a skip stitch mechanism 15 has an eyed needle 20 and a hooked needle 30 and a throat plate 42 having pivoted thereunder a thread deflecting element 80 operatively connected with a work feeding dog (40, Figs. 4 and 5 not shown) which engages the thread loop of the eyed needle siezed by a loop taker break (52) to deflect the engaged thread around the hook, which then draws the loop L up to form the pseudo blind stitch shown reversed in Fig. 3. The clens relate to a set of fittings for the machine. The element 80 is pivoted in a recess 71 beneath the throat plate by a pin 81 and has a tooth 79 engaging a slot 78 in a plate 74 slidably held in the recess by the heads of the pin 81 and a pin 82. Slots 75-77 in the plate engage the feed dog to reciprocate therewith and thus oscillate element 80. The hook needle 30 has an axial groove (93, Figs. 9-13 not shown) in which slides a latch member (100) presenting a shield 103 for the hook (95). A stop lug (102) on the latch member can move between stops (97, 98). A portion (104) of the latch, loosely bent around the needle blade to retain the latch in the groove. Operation of the skip stitch mechanism permits the distance between adjacent stitches in the seam to be greater than the work feeding increment. The machine producing this chain stitch machine may be a lock stitch machine with the bobbin removed.

Title: Improvements in hydraulic mechanism for actuating the distributing valves of reciprocating engines
IPC: F01L9/10
Filed: 1924-11-11
Abstract: 224,892. Mattern, H. M. M. Nov. 13, 1923, [Convention date]. Fluid-actuated gears. - A hydraulic gear for lift valves, slides, and cocks and shown applied to lift valves comprises a piston 3 secured to the valve 1 which is reciprocated by a piston 9 driven from the engine, which piston may be angularly adjusted to vary the time of opening and closing of the valve. The piston 3 is connected to an oil-buffer 20 which breaks the closing impact of the valve, and is pressed down by a spring 19. The cylinder 4 housing the piston 3 is surrounded by an oil-supply chamber 11 which communicates with a chamber 5 beneath the piston 3 by a valve-controlled passage which replenishes the chamber 5 with oil during the descent of the operating-piston 9. When the piston 9, which is made hollow and is provided with ports 17, closes port 18, liquid supplied by passage 10 is cut-off and is forced through passage 6 to raise valve 1. On port 17 registering with port 18, the valve 1 is closed. The time of admission is varied by shaping the upper surface of the piston 9. A partition may be arranged between the piston 3 and buffer 20, and the valve is then closed by oil pressure acting upon the upper surface of piston 3 which is controlled by a second piston of similar construction to the piston 9. The two controlling-pistons may be arranged as a single stepped piston. In Dieselengines, the fuel pump may be combined with the fuel-controlling-needle operating-gear thereby dispensing with separate driving-means.

Abstract: 315,257. Miller, O. M. July 10, 1928, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Photo-mechanical printing-surfaces; reproducing maps.-Line drawings are reproduced so as to show, in addition to the lines, a series of graded half-tone tints, representing, in the case of maps, hypsometric tints. Convention line representation, e.g. contour lines, may be separately printed, and also a scale of numerical values adjacent specimen tint areas. Sectional half-tone printing-plates may be prepared for printing in different colours. For example, a hypsometric map may have altitudes printed in evenly graded hypsometric half-tone tints of one colour for one conventional representation, e.g. forests, other evenly graded half-tone tints of another colour for another conventional representation, e.g. cultivated land, and so on, and lines printed independently of the colours. A single printing-block for printing the half-tone tints of different areas is prepared by making a printer's copy of the line drawing, making therefrom an unreversed negative, and printing from this by a series of partial exposures, blocking out after each exposure a further area of the negative, and from the graded reproduction making a half-tone printing-block. Modified procedures are represented by diagrammatic drawings. For printing in colours, a series of printing-blocks may be obtained from the above half-tone negative of the required tints, and the parts of each plate not required for printing in any colour is " routed " or cut away. Printing- plates for coloured lines may similarly be prepared from a contour line negative.
