Patent GB-577567-A (GB)
Abstract: 577,567. Furnace electrodes. LARSSEN, G. HAGERUP-. Oct. 13, 1943, No. 16804. [Class 39 (iii)] In an electrode of the self baking type, the electrode paste is filled into the casing 12 to level 14, and the lower part becomes baked approximately to line 16. To avoid distortion of the casing, when of non-circular section, due to hydrostatic pressure of the plastic upper part of the electrode, bracing plates 22 extend across the casing with their lower edges 20 above the line 16. The plates 22 may be lined with aluminium sheets secured by bolts 24 so that, if the paste becomes set in contact with them, they may be released by removal of bolts 24, and when the furnace is used in aluminium production, will have no adverse effect on the bath. If the electrode also has a movable casing it will be slit to move past the fixed bracing.

Abstract: 1,223,552. Polymerizable composition. BALM PAINTS Ltd. 27 March, 1968 [28 Dec., 1966], No. 57976/66. Addition to 1,137,129. Heading C3P. A composition free from addition polymerization initiator comprises a dispersion of filmforming polymer in an aqueous liquid, an autoxidizable material which is a polyether or a homo- or copolymer of vinyl pyrrolidone, and in the presence of oxygen provides radicals to initiate addition polymerization, and a non- autoxidizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer which is readily homopolymerizable by such radicals. The autoxidizable material e.g. a polyalkylene oxide, polyvinyl ether or vinyl pyrrolidone-vinyl butyl ether copolymer is preferably a thickener for the aqueous liquid. In the examples, vinyl toluene is gradually added to an aqueous latex of a methyl methacrylate/ 2 - ethylhexyl acrylate copolymer containing polyethylene oxide, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, or an ethylene oxide-propylene oxide copolymer which may have been reacted with toluene diisocyanate. The latex is then aged prior to addition thereto of an organic cobalt salt, the resulting dispersion being cast on glass and dried.

Suitable compounds listed have R= methyl or ethyl and X = -SiMe 2 O-, -SiMe 2 -OCH 2 -, -CH 2 CH 2 -, -(CH 2 ) 3 - or -(CH 2 ) 5 -. Suitable initiators are H 2 SO 4 , HClO 4 , alkane sulphonic acids, p-toluene sulphonic acid, FeCl3, FeBr 3 , SbCl 5 , TiCl 4 , SnCl 4  and [Et 3 O]+[FeCl 4 ]-. The reaction may be conducted in suspension or solution, and the crude product may be suspended in an aqueous or alcoholic solution of a base, and optionally heated at 160-220 C. in vacuo. Other comonomers may be incorporated, e.g. styrene, acrylonitrile, ethyl vinyl ether, methyl vinyl sulphone, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide, 1: 3-dioxolane, di- and tri-ethylene glycol formals, bis-(alkylsulphonyl)-imidazolidines, alkylsulphonyl oxazolidines, hexamethyl cyclotrisiloxane, octamethyl cyclotetrasiloxane, and 2: 2: 8: 8-tetramethyl-2 : 8-disila- 1: 4: 6-trioxacyclo-octane. In examples, 2: 2: 5: 5 - tetramethyl - 2: 5 - disila - 1: 3 - dioxolane (X = -SiMe 2 -O-) is copolymerized with trioxane in presence of FeBr 3  alone or in cyclohexane in presence of triethyloxonium tetrachloroferrate.

Abstract: 1,254,540. Knitting-machines. S. A. MONK (SUTTON IN ASHFIELD) Ltd. 25 Nov., 1969 [6 Dec., 1968], No. 58061/68. Heading D1C. A take-down mechanism for a V-bed machine comprising a hook bar 4 and a drawoff roller 5 includes means 6 for engaging the fabric when pressed off the bar. The bar is raised on chains 15 driven by shaft 19 until a stop block 43 fixed to the shaft engages the end of arm 34. When knitting is commenced the shaft is driven in the opposite direction and initial tension applied to the fabric by a spring plunger (38, Fig. 10, not shown) at the end of the arm acting against the block 43. Knitting continues with the bar moving downwardly, check pawls (87, Fig. 2b not shown) on an intermediate drive shaft preventing the tensioned fabric pulling back the bar. The ratchets (86) are released to ease tension during fashioning, however. When the bar reaches its lowermost position a switch is tripped to stop the bar and swing the pressure roller 49 between roller 5 and auxiliary roller 6 which now engages the fabric and directs it onto guide plate 63. Lever 70 is tripped by the bar to swing the press off plate 62 against the fabric. When a sufficient weight of fabric has been knitted it presses off onto the tray 64.

A return line 15 from the valve 13 is connected to the inlet pressure line 2a between a pre-controlled pressure reducing valve 7 and a multi-way valve 6 in the line 2a, the multi-way valve 6 controlling the application and relaxation of pressure in the line 2a. In order to obtain different pressures in the cylinders 1, e.g. for two-stage mould closing, the valve 7 has a precontrol line in which further pressure limiting valves 9, 10 are disposed which can be brought into circuit by way of a further multi-way valve 8. The invention prevents the equalizing of pressure between the cylinders 1 which permits tilting of one mould-art relative to the other. A high-pressure pump 4 supplies the mould closing pressure and a low-pressure pump 11 is connected to the pressure relaxing valve 13. This valve 13 comprises two releasable non- return valves 13a, 13b and a throttle valve 13c. The machine may be used for normal injectionmoulding or for injection-stamping.
