Title: Fishing reels
IPC: A01K89/033
Filed: 1974-05-10
Abstract: 1462810 Fishing reels ABU AB 10 May 1974 [11 May 1973] 20794/74 Heading A1A A fishing reel incorporating a sliding clutch mechanism and slide signal device comprises a crank 1 and spool 2 these being connected by a gear wheel 3 which is freely rotatable and axially movable on a shaft 4 of the crank 1. When adjuster 14 is turned it causes a signal wheel 9 to move axially along shaft 4 to engage a friction ring 10 which in turn engages the gear wheel 3 which presses against another friction ring 11 and finally a wheel 8 fixed to the shaft 4. At a particular line tension, the friction force will be overcome and gear wheel 3 will rotate in conjunction with the spool 2 at which time the signal device will be activated. This device comprises an annular recess in the gear wheel 3 in which a click spring 16 is housed and adapted to engage with a ring of apertures in wheel 9 so causing a noise when the wheel 3 turns. The friction ring 10 is positioned radially outwards of the recess.

Patent GB-686310-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of cellular materials
IPC: C08J9/00
Filed: 1949-08-10
Abstract: The mechanical resistance of a polycellular body obtained by the expansion of a gas within a plastic material, e.g. polyvinyl chloride, is increased by adding a plasticizing agent to the plastic material before producing the cellular body and transforming this plasticizer, by chemical reaction with a substance introduced into the body or formed therein, into a material of greatly reduced plasticizing power.  The plasticizing agent may be organic acid generating substances such as the anhydrides of organic acids or ketenes, e.g. phthalic, maleic or acetic anhydride, the plasticizing power of which is decreased by the introduction of water, or monomeric or lower polymeric styrene or methyl methacrylate, the plasticizing power of which is decreased by polymerization in the presence of a catalyst such as oxygen formed by incorporating in the starting mix a metal peroxide such as barium peroxide which reacts with subsequently introduced water.  In the examples, mixes of polyvinyl chloride, azoisobutyric acid dinitrile, phthalic anhydride and (1) p  tricresyl phosphate, (2) turpentine oil, barium peroxide and methyl methacrylate are converted into cellular bodies and then treated with steam so as to introduce water into the body.

Title: Improvements in or relating to supersonic inspection for flaws lying near the surface of a part

Filed: 1946-07-16
Abstract: 625,267. Supersonic inspection devices. SPERRY PRODUCTS, Inc. July 16, 1946, No. 21270. Convention date, July 23, 1945. [Class 118 (ii)] Apparatus for testing material comprising a transmitter for transmitting supersonic wave trains into said material, a receiver for receiving reflected wave trains and means interposed between said transmitter and said material for increasing the time interval between the transmission and reception of each wave train, is characterised in that the interposed means is of such length that the transmission of a wave train is completed before reception of said wave train has commenced. The interposed member 161 is placed between the transmitting crystal element 20 and the solid 10 under test. It is of such a length that the time interval introduced thereby is sufficient to permit the amplifier which receives the pulses due to reflected supersonic waves to regain its sensitivity after being overloaded by the transmission of the waves and of such a width that any pulses resulting from waves which have been reflected from its sides are clearly distinguishable from the pulses resulting from waves reflected from any flaw 11 near the surface of the solid 10. An oil film may separate the interposed member and the solid 10 or, in order to reduce the reflections at this interface, amalgamated silver foil 19 may be used to hold films of mercury between the interposed member and solid 10. In another embodiment (not shown), a fluid container is held against the solid under test by means such as a gasket and the crystal element is immersed in the fluid which attenuates the standing waves. The crystal element may be damped by cementing it to the intermediate member which may be joined to the solid under test by an oil film, thus still allowing solid parts to be tested in quick succession. The crystal element may alternatively be damped by coupling it to the intermediate member by means of the amalgamated silver foil described above.

Patent GB-423907-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of metallic carbonyls
IPC: C01G1/04
Filed: 1934-07-21
Abstract: Metal carbonyls are obtained by forming an amalgam of the carbonyl forming metal, subjecting the amalgam to vacuum distillation, to remove mercury therefrom, contacting the metallic residue with a stream of gaseous carbon monoxide, and condensing the metal carbonyl from the gas stream, the amalgam and metal being maintained under non-oxidizing conditions during the above steps.  The metallic distillation residue to be treated with carbon monoxide may contain a minor proportion of mercury.  Iron, cobalt, and nickel carbonyl may be so prepared.  The amalgam may be prepared electrolytically, for example iron amalgam may be prepared by the electrolysis of a solution of ferrous ammonium sulphate using a mercury cathode, the solution being preferably slightly acidified with sulphuric acid, the mercury being kept agitated, and the electrolysis being continued until a relatively thick amalgam is formed.  The distillation may be effected at a temperature of 350 DEG  C.  In the carbonyl formation step atmospheric pressure, and a temperature of 60 DEG  C. in the case of iron and of 25 DEG  C. in the case of nickel, may be employed.
