IPC: C21D9/56
Filed: 1961-07-18
Abstract: 949,237. Rolling; pressure welding. DAVY & UNITED ENGINEERING CO. Ltd. July 11, 1962 [July 18, 1961], No. 25974/61. Headings B3M and B3R. [Also in Division F4] Apparatus for a rod mill comprises welding plant for welding together end to end a succession of billets to form one or more continuous billet streams, one or more post weld furnaces through which the stream or streams pass to the mill, and automatic control means for each furnace responsive to the temperature of the individual billets so that all the streams enter the mill with approximately the same uniform temperature. As shown in Fig. 2, billets from a scrambler 12 pass to furnaces 14 and 20 along conveyers 13 and 21 and after ejection by pushers 19 and 22 pass to a conveyer 25 either directly or by way of conveyers 23 and 24. Welding plants 27 fuse the billets by passing a very heavy current through them and applying a pressure of approximately 2 t/in.<SP>2</SP> to force them together, four streams of billets being possible. Each medium frequency induction furnace 28 through which a stream of billets passes has a pyrometer 30, an amplifier 31 and control equipment 29 to ensure that the streams attain a uniform temperature. The billets then pass to stands 17, 18 and so on of the rod mill. After rolling, the rod is sheared, and to ensure that shearing takes place adjacent a weld in the rod, the shears are controlled by a detector which detects either hot spots in the continuous product or α-ray emitting particles placed at the weld junctions in the welding plant. Alternatively, the shears may operate to cut off equal weights of rolled product, the speed and section of the rod being measured to control the shears in this case.

Title: Method of manufacturing synthetic fibres of acetalized polyvinyl alcohol
IPC: D01F6/14
Filed: 1963-07-01
Abstract: 1,036,787. Producing acetalized polyvinyl alcohol fibres. KURASHIKI RAYON KABUSHIKI KAISHA. July 1, 1963 [Aug. 9, 1962], No. 25975/63. Heading B5B. Acetalized polyvinyl alcohol fibres are made by stretching polyvinyl alcohol fibres at 180 to 250 C. and at a stretch ratio of 5 to 12, contacting the stretched fibres with an aqueous solution containing either (1) a phenolic compound, (2) boric acid or a water-soluble borate, or (3) an aliphatic water-soluble lower aldehyde such as formaldehyde or acetaldehyde, optionally washing with cool or warm water, and either with or without first drying then acetalizing with an aromatic aldehyde such as benzaldehyde, chlorobenzaldohyde or naphthaldehyde, or with a hydroaromatic aldehyde ketone or acetal. In an example, filaments formed by dry spinning a solution of a polyvinyl alcohol having a D.P. of 1700 and which had been polymerized at 60 C. are stretched at 230 C. and a stretch ratio of 10, heat set at 230 C. while allowing them to shrink 20%, immersed for 3 hours in a 5% aqueous solution of phenol at 50 C., washed with water at 60 C., air dried, and acetalized at 60 C. for 6 hours in a bath consisting of 2% benzaldehyde, 15% sulphuric acid, 35% methanol and 48% of water. The PVA used may have been polymerized at a temperature of - 60 C. t o + 20 C. and/or may have a degree of polymerization of 900 to 1500. If the treatment with an aqueous solution of phenol &c. after the hot stretching and heat setting step is omitted, the fibres cannot be acetalized to the extent desirable to render the fibres resistant to shrinkage in hot water.

Abstract: 841,559. Feeding fibres. BRITISH COTTON INDUSTRY RESEARCH ASSOCIATION. Nov. 28, 1956 [Sept. 13, 1955], No. 26136/55. Class 120(1). [Also in Group XXX] Feeding apparatus for cotton &c. comprises a hopper-like discharge compartment 11 wherein a plate 12 reciprocates to compact the material, plate 12 extending from side to side of hopper 11  and moving so that on its downward feeding stroke its edge traverses a substantial part of the width of the hopper and thereby compacts the material, whilst on its return stroke it is brought to lie adjacent the wall 11a of the hopper to reduce interference with the progress of the material. As shown, wall 11a is provided with a central transverse slit through which plate 12 extends, and the plate is reciprocated by cranks 17a and connecting rods 14. During one reciprocation, plate 12 moves successively through the positions a to h, Fig. 3. The lower edge of plate 12 is turned over to increase its compacting action. Material is discharged from the bottom of compartment 11 on to a conveyer 25 by one or more rollers 26. The lower part of the rear wall of compartment 11 may be adjustable in position, or it may be reciprocated in synchronism with plate 12 to increase the compacting effect.

Title: Improvements in or relating to magnetic data storage devices
Inventor: BRADLEY EDWARD MICHAEL
IPC: G11C17/02
Filed: 1961-07-19
Abstract: 935,604. Magnetic thin-film storage devices. INTERNATIONAL COMPUTERS & TABULATORS Ltd. June 29, 1962 [July 19, 1961], No. 26141/61. Drawings to Specification. Class 40 (9). [Also in Group XIX] A non-erasible store for binary information comprises a plurality of areas of thin ferromagnetic film, means for applying a switching field to each area along the hard axis, elements of permanently magnetized material positioned adjacent at least some of the areas to provide a bias along the easy axis, the bias field returning the corresponding area to a preselected state on removal of the switching field, and means for sensing flux changes along the easyaxis in each area. The thin film, on an aluminium substrate, is crossed by a plurality of perpendicular drive and sense conductors defining storage areas at their intersections, the drive conductors preferably being at a small angle to the easy axis of the film so that on removal of the switching field all areas tend to return to the " 0 " state. Over the conductors is laid a magnetic recording tape permanently magnetized adjacent those areas which are required to return to the " 1 " state. Alternatively, the drive conductors may be parallel to the easy axis and the recording tape is then appropriately magnetized adjacent each storage area. The tape may be mounted on a non- magnetic backing plate to permit replacement by a tape magnetized in a different pattern, or may be permanently bonded to the matrix. Information is initially entered into the store either by energizing the drive conductors or by applying a suitable bias field. Instead of a magnetic tape a plastic carrier with discrete magnetic elements of iron oxide, metallic wire or electro-deposited magnetic material may be used, or such elements may be permanently secured or deposited directly over the conductor matrix. Alternatively, a thicker magnetic film may be deposited on the matrix, capable of remaining permanently magnetized despite stray drive fields.

Title: Yarn guide mechanism
IPC: B65H54/50
Filed: 1965-06-22
Abstract: A yarn wind-up mechanism, in which a grooved drum is used to traverse the yarn on to a wind-up bobbin, includes means at each end of the drum for generating an air current and directing said air current towards the central region of the surface of the drum. This arrangement prevents broken yarn ends from travelling over the sides of the package to a position where an automatic finder or gripper cannot seize the yarn.  In one arrangement the end portions of the drum are hollow and the peripheral walk are formed with suitably arranged bores to create said air current on rotation of the drum. In another embodiment the ends of the drum are shaped to provide fan impellers, or these are secured to the drum ends.  The drum ends may be encircled by cover plates having a central inlet opening and a peripheral outlet directed towards the opposite end of the drum.
