Abstract: 343,191. Hats. ANDERSON& WRITER CORPORATION, 868, 6th Avenue, New York, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Writer, V. P.; 106, West 69th Street, New York, U.S.A.) Nov. 22, 1929, No. 35856. Convention date, Nov. 23, 1928. [Class 63.] Tam-o' -shanters or the like are made from a sheet of material by folding the outer portion of the material inwardly towards its centre, pulling the free inner edge of the material inwardly from the marginal edge of the folded material while holding this marginal edge against contraction, and subjecting the material to pressure in the presence of heat and moisture. A suitable apparatus comprises a table 10 on which is a die 11 with a flat base and upstanding flange 13. A movable die 16 engages within the flange, and is urged towards the flat base of the die 11 by springs 22 secured to lugs 19 secured to the die by wing nuts 18 engaging screws passing through slots in the lugs. The other ends of the springs are secured to a plate 24 connected to a treadle 26 adapted to be held in depressed position by hooks 30, 34 adjustable in height. The die 16 has a central aperture 17. The flange 13 is slotted to give clearance for the lugs 19. In use, the sheet material is folded over a circular plate 36 of spring steel or like material, placed in the die 11 and the die 16 positioned, the free edges of the sheet material being passed through the opening 17. The treadle is then depressed for moulding the headcovering into shape. The die 16 may be heated by gas or electricity. The slit 37 in the plate 36 allows this plate to be removed.

Title: Production of aldehydes and alcohols
IPC: C07C45/82
Filed: 1960-10-20
Abstract: In making a C2n + 2 aldehyde from a CnH2n olefine (n being 2 to 6) by reaction of the olefine with hydrogen and carbon monoxide in contact with a carbonylation catalyst and an aldox condensation co-catalyst in a reaction zone to produce a crude aldehydic mixture containing a straight chain monomeric Cn + 1 aldehyde formed by carbonylation of the olefine at the a  C. atom, a branched Cn + 1 aldehyde and C2n + 2 aldehydes, the crude aldehydic mixture is withdrawn from the reaction zone and fractionally distilled to separate out a fraction containing the straight chain aldehyde in concentrated form and a fraction rich in C2n + 2 aldehydes, recycling the straight chain aldehyde fraction at least in part to the reaction zone, and recovering the C2n + 2 aldehyde fraction. Propylene is exemplified giving n and iso-butyraldehyde and C8 aldehydes e.g. 2 ethyl hexenal and 2 ethyl hexanal which can be hydrogenated to the corresponding alcohols e.g. isobutyl and 2 ethyl hexyl alcohols.  Suitable catalysts are listed and preferred reaction conditions given.  Specifications 682,177, 717,446, 742,879 and 776,998 are referred to.

[Class 120 (ii).] In a yarn-winding machine and particularly in a machine for winding weft spools or cops an axially reciprocating guide bar 17, Fig. 1, formed with grooves, screw-threads or notches and over which the yarn runs is provided for each cop 4 in combination with two stops 27, 28 separate from the bar 17 and adjustable to vary the distance H in accordance with the throw of the traverse cam 13. The bars 17 are driven separately in connection with their respective bobbin gears or in groups or all together independently from the spindle drive. Each bobbin 4 is supported between pegs 5, 6 and driven through the friction wheel 9, while the guide bar 17 is reciprocated by the traverse cam 13. The stops 27, 28 are carried on a bridge 23 which also supports a guide eye 25 midway between the stops while a progression wheel 22 on a screw 19 serves to move the bridge 23 in accordance with the progress of the winding. The stops 27, 28 are curved relatively to the bar 17, Fig. 3. The yarn 29 passes from a guide roller 30 through the eye 25 and thence over the bar,17 to the bobbin 4, the yarn engaging in a groove of the bar 17 and reciprocating therewith over the range H between the stops 27, 28. The stops 27, 28 are moved to the left by the wheel 22 and shift the yarn from groove to groove in the bar 17 as the bobbin grows. When piecing or starting to wind the yarn is placed between the stops 27, 28 which automatically guide it into the correct groove.

Abstract: 619,616. Delivering measured quantities of liquids. NON-DRIP MEASURE CO.. Ltd., and BERWICK, A. G. Dec. 16, 1946, No. 37033. [Class 106(v)] In a device for delivering measured quantites of liquid, of the kind in which the delivery operation is effected by application of upward pressure to an axially movable member through which the liquid flows into a receptacle, the member 11 has a chamfered upper end 29 which is arranged firstly to enter a chamber 16, in which it is a close but sliding fit, to effect substantial closure of the liquid inlet passage 7, and secondly to engage the end of the stem 20 of an air inlet valve 22 disposed externally of the measuring chamber so as to open the valve the final movement of the member causing its upper end to seat on the lower end of the passage 7 to effect complete closure of the passage and allowing discharge of the liquid from the measuring chamber through transverse ports 27 and passage 28 in the member. The measuring chamber is formed in two parts 1, 2 with an interposed sealing ring 3, the parts being secured together by a screw-threaded member 5 forming part of a bracket by which the device may be supported. The inlet passage is formed by a tube fitted with the usual baffle 9 and surrounded by a cork or other yieldable member 8 to make liquid-tight connection with an inverted baffle. The valve 22 is loaded by a spring 25 and controls communication between a post 17 leading to atmosphere and a port 19 opening into a frustro-conical portion 15 of the part 1. The flange of the valve is fitted with a sealing ring. and its stem is formed with flats or flutings 21 or is of reduced diameter over parts of its length. The valve may be arranged for horizontal movement as shown or on an axis slightly inclined to the horizontal. The member 11 is urged downwardly by a spring 36 and is fitted with arms 12 for engagement by a receptacle. The surface of the lower part of the member makes wiping contact with a resilient washer 34 to retain any liquid which tends to leak down this surface. A sealing ring 14 on the member engages the base 13 of the measuring chamber to prevent leakage when the device is inoperative.

As shown the folded dipole is associated with the dipole 1, 1a, by the centre part of the latter (between support brackets 18 and 19 being included in the folded dipole also. A common feeder is used for the two dipoles. The coupling members 10 and 11 of the folded dipole are preferably spaced in from the ends of the elements 6, 7, 8 and 9 so that the free ends act as a resistance compensating device for reception at the higher frequency. Instead of a simple folded dipole. being used a three element type such as that shown in Fig. 3 may be used. Insulators 22 and 23 on the lower frequency dipole help to support the folded structure. In an alternative form of three element folded dipole an outer element is associated with the lower frequency dipole (Fig. 4, not shown). In any of the embodiments the extreme ends of the folded dipole members may be closed by a further pair of coupling members.

The motor driven camera pivots on motion on pins 8 and 15, pin 8 engages in a slot in the camera base and pin 15 engages in a slot 16 of a member 17 located between the rails and rotatable about point 18. The pins are provided on guide elements 9 and 9a movable in mutually perpendicular directions on rails 10, on the carriage, and are connected by an endless cable 14 which passes under tension around rollers 12, 13, 14 such that the elements are always a fixed distance apart. By this arrangement pin 8 in always on the camera optical axis between the camera pivot point 5 and the object station 19. The camera rotates on a hollow axle 22 with the aid of radially extending rollers 22 located under the camera front. For shutter operation and screen displacement, a pivotable control rail 21 is provided upon which a striker bar 23, passing through the axle is movable. The bar acts as a pivot point for a lever 25 which actuates, at one end a screen displacement mechanism via axle 24 and at the other end acts as a switch 27 co-operating with end stops 28. The stops are adjusted so that on screen displacement through a lenticular width an electrically operated shutter 20 is opened but at the end positions the shutter is closed. The end stops sep-  aration may be adjusted so that screens of different form may be used in the camera.
