Title: Improving roll formation characteristics of continuous flat film
IPC: B29C35/02
Filed: 1965-04-13
Abstract: 1,041,162. Improving roll formation of films. E.I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO. April 13, 1965 [April 13, 1964], No. 15816/65. Heading B5B. The adverse effects resulting from winding into roll form a continuous flat film having at least one straight longitudinally running lane differing in thickness from the average thickness of the film across its width are minimized by continuously cyclically modifying the drawing characteristics of selected areas of the film in at least one predetermined longitudinal path and transversely stretching the film whereby the lane is displaced laterally alternately towards one edge and then towards the other edge of the film in a wave-like pattern. The film may be crystalline or partially crystalline and capable of further crystallization. The selected areas of such a film may have their drawing characteristics cyclically modified by cyclically subjecting them to heat to further crystallize the film in these areas which as a result is toughened and does not stretch as easily in the transverse direction in these areas as in the remainder of the film. The partially crystalline film may be subjected to uniform heat in two parallel sinuous paths longitudinal of the film, one path being adjacent one edge of the film and the other path being adjacent the opposite edge of the film. The partially crystalline film may be heated by heaters of equal heat output fixedly located in the path of travel of the film adjacent to each edge of the film and the output of one heater may be continuously varied cyclically from minimum to maximum output and vice versa while the output of the heater adjacent to the opposite edge of the film is continuously varied cyclically at the same rate from maximum to minimum output and vice versa. The selected areas of the film may have their drawing characteristics cyclically modified by continuously impinging on the film two streams of cooling air effective to toughen the film, one stream being directed on to a continuous longitudinal path adjacent to one edge of the film and the other stream being directed on to a continuous longitudinal path adjacent to the other edge of the film, the flow of one stream being continuously varied cyclically from a maximum to minimum flow and vice versa, while the flow of the other stream is continuously varied cyclically from a minimum to maximum flow and vice versa. The film may consist of polyethylene terephthalate.

Abstract: 1,163,026. Guiding articles during conveying. SCHOKO-BUCK G.m.b.H. 6 April, 1967 [13 April, 1966], No. 15816/67. Heading B8A. A mechanism for distributing articles of confectionery (e.g. candies) 1 from a single row 5 to form two or more rows whilst being moved by a conveyer belt, comprises a deflecting roller 4 which is selectively rotatable in a direction to deflect candies to one side or the other. An endless driven belt guide 7, 8 is mounted at each side of the roller 4 to feed the candies deflected to that side, to their new row position on the conveyer belt. The roller 4, which is rubberized, is driven by one of a pair of contra-rotating friction rollers which selectively drive the roller 4 depending on the quantity of candies delivered to each of the two rows. The friction rollers are mounted on a pivotally mounted member which is spring biased into one position in which the roller 4 is driven clockwise, and magnetically urged into a second position in which the roller 4 is driven counter-clockwise. The mechanism is formed as a unit on a framework which is attachable to the conveyer framework such that the mechanism is suspended over the conveyer.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of sand moulds, cores and like articles
Inventor: BUSHNELL REGINALD SIDNEY
IPC: B22C23/00
Filed: 1963-04-23
Abstract: 991,347. Moulding processes. FOSECO TRADING CO. April 21, 1964 [April 23, 1963], No. 15958/63. Heading B3F. A method of producing sand cores, moulds &c. of bonded sand comprises preheating the sand, mixing therewith a resinous material, such as a urea or phenol formaldehyde, resin which will set on heating in the presence of an accelerator, and an accelerator such as hydrochloric or phosphoric acid or an aryl-sulphonic acid. The composition thus obtained is shaped by applying it to or into a cool pattern or core box and the resinous material is allowed to set in or on the pattern under the combined action of the accelerator and residual heat of the sand. The process described may be carried out continuously by the drying of wet sand by heating means, the hot sand being used without being allowed to cool down. At sand temperatures of between 50‹ to 150‹ C. it is preferable to mix the sand and resin and then add the accelerator at a later stage. At temperatures below 50‹ C. the resin and accelerator may be both mixed directly with the sand. An example of the process is given.
