Title: Improvements in or relating to alkaline dry cells
Inventor: GARCIN MAURICE
IPC: H01M6/08
Filed: 1965-06-29
Abstract: 1,098,044. Alkaline dry cells. SOCIETE LES PILES WONDER. June 29, 1965 [June 30, 1964], No. 27518/65. Heading H1B. An alkaline dry cell (see especially Fig. 1) comprises a positive central electrode 1 surrounded successively by a layer of depolarizing mixture 4 constituting a cathode, by a layer of electrolyte 5 jellied or retained by other means and by a layer of anodic mixture 8 comprising a paste which is a metallic powder and an alkaline electrolyte admixed with a jellifying agent, the whole being arranged in a container 9 forming a negative electrode and formed of a metal inert with respect to the electrolyte, the bottom of the container being covered with an insulating piece 10 preventing contact between the central electrode, depolarizing mixture and electrolyte and the bottom or anodic mixture, while the opening of the container is closed by an insulating cover 11 provided with a central opening 12 traversed and closed by the central electrode. The central electrode is suitably a carbon rod, the depolarizing mixture may be manganese dioxide, mercuric oxide and silver oxide advantageously admixed with inert particles of a conducting substance e.g. graphite and an alkaline electrolyte e.g. KOH to which some ZnO has been added, the alkaline electrolyte is preferably a strong solution of caustic alkali in combination with a gelling agent such as carboxymethyl cellulose and the anodic mixture is conveniently a mixture of amalgamated zinc powder, KOH and carboxymethyl cellulose. The metal container may be formed from iron, copper or tinned steel. The anode of the above cell may be made by applying a malleable mixture based on the metallic powder to the bottom of the container intended to form a collector or negative external electrode and allowing a mandrel or piston to penetrate to the interior of the container and into the paste to a predetermined distance from the bottom of the container, the mandrel or piston having a diameter less than that of the bore of the container and equal to the internal diameter of the anode to be formed.

Title: Improvements in and relating to closure lids for cylindrical containers
IPC: B65D47/42
Filed: 1963-07-11
Abstract: 1,041,178. Pads. COLLO-RHEINCOLLODIUM KOLN G.m.b.H. WERK HERSEL. July 11, 1963 [July 20, 1962; Aug. 11, 1962], No. 27561/63. Heading A4F. [Also in Division B8] An applicator comprises a lid 1 of of a cylindrical container 4, which is shaped as a tubular plug with a handle 2 and having on its base an overlay 3 of absorbent material slightly overhanging the lid rim.

Title: Coating process
IPC: C23C2/26
Filed: 1971-06-11
Abstract: 1325096 Producing coloured coatings on metals COMINCO Ltd 11 June 1971 [11 June 1970] 27613/71 Heading C7F A process for producing coloured coatings comprises applying to a surface an alloy of Zn, Sn, or Pb-Sn(Sn#5%) with an oxygen-avid additive, the oxides of which are capable of producing the desired light interference colour effects. The additive may be Ti, Mn, V, Nb, Zr, Th, Cd, As, Cu, Pb, Cr or mischmetal. The alloy can be applied by hot dipping, in which strip 13 is coated with e.g. an alloy of Zn and 0À1%Ti in bath 28, the strip being subsequently heated in furnace 90 while the coating is still molten to produce the desired colour. The bath 28 will have a film 38 of oxide above it and to prevent the strip picking this up, a pair of partly-submerged non-reactive rolls 40, 42 guide the strip out of the bath. The steel strip will have a surface comprising the steel base 10, an Fe-Zn layer 12, a Zn-Ti layer 14 having a reflective surface 18, and finally a layer 16 of titanium oxides. The colour of these oxides can be varied by varying the temperature in the furnace 90 or the strip speed through the furnace. If the strip 13 contains certain deleterious elements, e.g. Al, Mn, then the strip is given a pre-coating of Zn in bath 17. In another embodiment Fig.4 (not shown) the strip is prevented from picking-up surface oxide from the bath by maintaining an argon atmosphere above the bath. Commercial argon is used and the small amount of O 2  in the argon is used to oxidize the coated strip. The coating may also be applied by spraying or flowing.

Title: Method of attaching fittings to tubes of resin-bonded fibre
Inventor: SWEETLAND ARTHUR GEORGE
Filed: 1958-08-28
Abstract: 910,750. Rod &c. joints. BRITISH INSULATED CALLENDER'S CABLES Ltd. Aug. 27, 1959 [Aug. 28, 1958], No. 27655/58. Class 99(1). In a method of attaching a metal fitting to a tube 1 of resin-bonded glass fibre, a metal plug 3 is inserted into the tube and a sleeve 6 of malleable metal forming the fitting or a part thereof is placed over the end of the tube and thereafter a compressive force is applied to the exterior of the sleeve to deform the sleeve and that part of the tube within the sleeve so that the tube is gripped between the sleeve and the plug. As shown, the plug has a head portion 5 formed with a screw thread 11 or which is knurled or otherwise roughened. The tool for compressing the sleeve includes dies having parallel pressure faces which co-operate with the tapered part 10 of the sleeve to ensure that the compressive force exerted by the sleeve decreases gradually from the head 5 to a free end of the sleeve. Alternatively, the dies have inclined pressure faces and the sleeve has a uniform wall thickness. The sleeve may be compressed to a hexagonal shape in cross-section. Two tubes may be connected by a single plug and an external sleeve having an outer surface which tapers from the middle of the sleeve to each end thereof. In a modification, fitting is formed with a deep annular recess for reception of the end of the tube. Specifications 816,926 and 902,197 are referred to.
