Class 86 In apparatus for mixing liquid, especially a foam forming agent, with water flowing under pressure in a duct, and of the type wherein water branched off from the duct displaces air from a container, which air in turn displaces the liquid from another container and forces it into the duct, there is provided a reservoir container for the liquid connected to the liquid container 60 that liquid from the reservoir container may be delivered to the liquid container whilst liquid is being removed from the liquid container. In Fig. 1 water branched off from a duct 1 displaces air from a container 6 which in turn forces liquid from the container 4 into the duct and liquid from a reservoir 9 may at the same time be introduced into the container 4 by means of a pump 10. In another embodiment, Fig. 2, not shown, the liquid is delivered to the chamber 4 under pressure from a storage container, its delivery being regulated by a valve controlled by a float responsive to the liquid level in container 4.

Abstract: 1,139,208. Lubricating. EATON YALE & TOWNE Inc. 7 June, 1966 [21 June, 1965], No. 25376/66. Heading F2A. A cyclic distributer comprises a plurality of valve blocks 44, 45, 46 through which extend first and second passages 13,14, inlet ports 67, 68 each communicating with a passage 13, 14 and with a bore in a valve block, outlet ports each communicating with a bore and with a passage to a lubrication point, and check valves in each of passages 13, 14. Transfer passageway E, H, J, K extends from the end of one bore and has two ports communicating with another bore. In operation, pressurized lubricant is supplied through passage 13 and passes through passage 63 to move piston F to the left, lubricant from the left of piston F being displaced through passage 64 and passage 14 back to a reservoir (12, Fig. 1, not shown). Lubricant then passes from passage 13 through port 67 and passage G to move piston A to the left, lubricant being discharged from the left end of piston A to outlet 56. Piston B is then moved to the left to discharge lubricant. Pressurized lubricant is then supplied to passage 14 and moves the pistons successively to the right. The cycle is then repeated. Gaskets are provided between the blocks, with slots joining passages in the blocks. If, in the system of Fig. 1 (not shown), blocking occurs in distributer 28 or any output passage 29, 30 from it to bearings, back pressure causes pressure switch (35, Fig. 1, not shown) to give an alarm or shut down the system.

Abstract: 601,327. Buckles. QUILTER, J. R. C. Oct. 1, 1945, No. 25422. [Class 43] In a frictional locking buckle for a strap 14 which passes over a rigid part 15 of a frame 13 and round a parallel sliding bar 11, its tension holding the bar towards the side 15 with the free end 16 of the strap gripped between it and the bar, the .latter has extremital shoes 17 which are longer than the diameter of the bar and which slide along the ends 18 of the frame, a guide member 12 with which the opposite faces of the shoes make contact being attached to the frame. The guide member 12 is a metal shell or stamping shaped to correspond to the two sides 18 and the end 26 of the rectangular buckle frame 13; each end of the guide member is L-shaped one flange 20 being riveted to the end 18 of the frame, the other 22 being spaced therefrom so that parallel slots 23 are formed for the shoes 17 which are integral with the bar. The shoes are preferably slightly offset from the axis of the bar, which is thus maintained partly within the opening of the frame 13 and is prevented from falling out of position before the strap is inserted. The centre part of the guide member 12 may be of Z-section: one flange 30 is continuous with the end flanges 22, being inclined to accommodate correspondingly bevelled ends of the shoes 17; the web 25 is riveted to the lower side 26 of the frame 13, and the outwardly projecting flange 28 is slotted at 29 for attachment of the buckle to a support. The slotted attachment may be dispensed with by using the upper side 15 of the frame 13 for attachment purposes, the adjustable strap being looped round the bar 11 in such a way that the shoes 17 are drawn down towards the side 26 of the frame. The frame 13 is rounded internally, but its ends 18 and side 26 are sharp-cornered externally to provide a firm seating for the guide member 12; the external end faces 18 may be stepped at 32 to accommodate the ends of the guide member flanges 20.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the manufacture of soap
IPC: C11D13/20
Filed: 1936-09-18
Abstract: A stable powdered or moulded soap which does not effloresce and which is free from alkali carbonate is prepared by intimately mixing a fatty acid, at a temperature above its melting point, with approximately twice the amount of calcined alkali carbonate theoretically necessary for complete saponification, and adding to the homogeneous mixture from 2 to 50 per cent of water, calculated on the amount of fatty acid employed.  Salts which do not decompose alkali bicarbonates, e.g. di-sodium phosphate, sodium pyrophosphate, sodium bicarbonate and borax, and bleaching agents such as sodium perborate, persulphate or hydrosulphite may be added to the water. The reaction products may be mixed with liquid or solid soap, resinic acids, sulphonated fats, oils, fat alcohols, dispersing or wetting agents, paraffin or other wax, petroleum jelly, percompounds, solvents, perfumes or other usual addition or filling agents for soap.  The process may be carried out in a continuous manner, the reaction mass, after the addition of the water, being led over milling and/or moulding rollers or worms which may be heated and/or cooled.  Specified fatty acids are those from palm oil, palm kernel oil, ground nut oil, coconut oil and mixtures thereof, and specified additions are rose perfume, methylcellulose and cyclonol.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of composite photographs
IPC: G03C5/08
Filed: 1923-10-13
Abstract: 226,634. Brooks, T. Oct. 13, 1923. Composite photographs; contact printing- frames; bordering masks and apparatus.-A sensitive plate or film is exposed under a blackedout or masked positive of a pictorial setting corresponding to the desired background, and the latent image so produced is masked so as to exhibit only the unexposed part of the surface. The plate or film is then exposed in a camera to the principal subject, and developed. Printing- frames and dark slides employed in the process are provided with means for registering the plate or film and masking devices. In an example described, a background positive transparency is produced by photographing a sitter against the background and blocking out the part occupied by the sitter. From this a series of prints is made upon plates or films, to each of which is attached, as by gummed strips, a mask covering the exposed background portion. These plates or films are then exposed in a camera to any desired sitter and after removing the mask are developed and printed. The focusing-screen of the camera may be provided with a mask similar to that covering the partly-exposed plate or film. In a modification, a separate mask formed of a glass plate is employed, and is inserted, in register with each partly-exposed plate or film, in a dark slide having locating stops w, Fig. 10, and a retaining spring-clip x. In printing the back, ground, the plate or film is registered with the background positives in a printing-frame having screws actuating plates k to force the elements against the edges i of the frame, and spring-clips may be provided on the edges i to secure the registered elements. A modified frame is described for registering the partly-exposed plate with the mask having locating stops on the registering edges i and a spring retaining clip at one of the other edges.
