Abstract: 1,224,451. Resilient padding units of helical synthetic filaments. GLANZSTOFF A.G. 8 Jan., 1969 [21 March, 1968], No. 1180/69. Heading B5B. [Also in Division A4] A resilient padding unit similar to spring cores used for the padding of chairs and automobile seats or as mattress cores and suitable for this purpose consists of a plurality of meltspun artificial filaments composed of synthetic thermplastic polymeric material, the filaments having a diameter of 0À1 to 1 mm. and bonded to one another at intersection points by mutual adhesion, each separate filament extending in a substantially helical form within the padding unit. The filaments consist of a synthetic organic thermoplastic polymeric material at least 70% of which is in the amorphous form. The polymeric material may be any synthetic polymer which can be melt-spun to form filaments, polyamides, particularly polycarpolactams being preferred. The padding units may be produced by extruding the molten polymer downwards on to the surface of a bath of a cooling liquid, such as water, from a multiorifice spinneret, all the spinneret orifices being the same distance apart, the distance being 3 to 11 mm., and the distance between the face of the spinneret and the surface of the cooling liquid being 2 to 30 cm. The filaments initially lie on the surface of the liquid in loop form, each filament forming approximately helical windings. Adjacent filaments or one and the same filament become bonded to one another at points of intersection by mutual adhesion while they are still soft and adhesive. The padding unit structure formed gradually sinks into the cooling bath (usually water) and is continuously withdrawn from the bath, practically no tension being applied to the structure. The polymer melt may be extruded from a plurality of spinnerets arranged in juxtaposition.

As described the conveyer 14, Fig. 2, forms the central portion of a feed bed having inclined platforms 10 for centering a tree. One drive roller of the conveyer also carries rollers 22 with ribs 23 for advancing the tree. The roll R is in the form of a drum having a central portion 50 with tree engaging ribs, and outer portions with oppositely inclined ribs 48a, 48b for centering branches. The roll R is mounted on a beam 36, Fig. 2, connected to pivoted arms 39 so that its vertical position can be adjusted by a piston and cylinder device 42, 43. The rolls E are provided with tree engaging ribs 63, and one of the rolls, 60, Fig. 1, is inclined toward the other to cater for trees of differing sizes. Side plates P ensure that all laterally extending branches of the tree pass between the rolls E. The spacing of the rolls E is such as to allow swinging of the tree about the nip of roll R and conveyer 14 if the tree is not straight. The crushed tree is fed to the chipping unit C, which comprises a rotary disc 71, Fig. 2, with blades 76, via a shoot 70 having a flared end 70a. The conveyer 14 and rolls R and E are driven by hydraulic motors. The pumps for the hydraulic fluid are driven by a diesel engine which also drives the shaft 69 of the chipping unit so that the feed of the tree and the chipping rate are related. The hydraulic motors may be stopped or reversed in the event of a tree jamming.

Abstract: 210,419. Coninek, M. de. Jan. 26, 1923, [Convention date]. Processes and methods of combustion; fuel, feeding; ash-pits; generating combustion products urder pressure.-Fuel such as coal, coke, lignite, peat &c. is ground or pulverized and converted into a pasty or plastic mass by mixing it with oil or water to render it suitable for being forced by fluid pressure or by mechanical means into a combustion chamber and burnt in contact with a stream of air. As shown in the Figure, the fuel in a semi-fluid condition is supplied to a reservoir a, which may be provided with stirrers, and is fed bv fluid pressure admitted by a pipe g through a pipe c to a combustion chamber d. The fuel enters the combustion chamber through a refractory nozzle m and meets a blast of air supplied by a pipe i. Combustion of the fuel is initiated by gas supplied through a pipe and ignited by a sparking-plug k. The nozzle m may be provided with grooves n which facilitate the disengagement of the volatile products from the fuel. The high temperature produced in the combustion chamber effects the fusion of ashes which collect in a water-cooled annular vessel o surrounding the nozzle m. The fused ashes pass through a spout q and and fall into a vessel s containing water and provided with a discharge valve t. The steam generated in the vessel s passes into the combustion chamber d. Combustion may be effected in the chamber d under high pressure as may be the case with an internal combustion turbine or the combustion chamber may be adapted for heating a steam boiler.

Moulding indid-rubber a n d wheel tyres; moulds. - In a process wherein tyre covers or the like are kept expanded in moulds during vulcanizing by pressure fluid entrapped in their interiors by the closing of the moulds, the means for effecting a gas - tight closure of the tyre consists of two parts which meet on the closing of the moulds, and most suitably consists of two soft rubber rings 10, 11, Fig. 4. A cover is placed in a mould the halves 1, 2 of which are made to register by dowels 12, Fig. 4, and are held slightly open by springs 14. The moulds are stacked on the plungerhead 20, Fig. 1, of a hydraulic press. Liquid is admitted to cylinders 30 to raise a box 35 into gas-tight connection with the head 25, and enclose the moulds. Compressed air is admitted to the box 35 and enters the interior of the casings. The ram 21 is now raised forcing the moulds into contact with the head 25, closing them, and entrapping air in their interior. The pressure is released from the box 35 which is lowered, and the moulds are clamped by driving clips over wedge shaped lugs 6, 7. The moulds are removed to the vulcanizing chamber. Vents may be formed in the moulds to facilitate the escape of air from between the casing and mould in the case of non-skid treads.
