Title: Improvements in or relating to cooling means for closed electrical motors, generators or the like machines
IPC: H02K9/18
Filed: 1930-04-25
Abstract: 355,658. Cooling dynamo-electric machines. AKTIEBOLAGET LJUNGSTRÍMS ANGTURBIN, 17, Vastra Tradgardsgatan, Stockholm. April 25, 1930, No. 12861. Convention date, May 2, 1929. [Class 35.] In a cooling system for an enclosed machine in which fandriven cooling air circulates repeatedly through the machine and through cooling elements arranged axially beyond the windings, these elements consist of straight flattened tubes with their broad flat sides extending radially, the tubes being so arranged with regard to the air inlet and outlet passages that the air passes through the elements in radial planes only. The elements may be water-cooled and removably mounted in the machine casing in square or other symmetrical formation around the shaft axis. The Figures show a form in which the cooling elements 11, 12, 17, 18 are arranged in a square around the shaft axis,the left- and right-hand parts of Fig. 2 being cross sections on the lines A-A, B-B respectively in Fig. 1, which Figure is a vertical section in the plane COD, Fig. 2. A fan 9 drives the air over the cooling elements through two sets of ducts 14, 16 in the casing 6, cold air passing down the ducts 14 and inwards between the stator laminµ and over the lower end windings. A portion also passes into the parts adjoining the shaft, as shown at 15<1>. The air from the interior of the machine passes out radially between the laminµ to the ducts 16 and then over the cooling elements again. These elements, which are flanged and removably bolted to the casing 13, consist of flattened water tubes ribbed or separated from each other by corrugated plates 26, Fig. 3, which may be soldered to them. The tubes extend between two headers 21, 22 the former of which receives the inlet and outlet pipes 24, 25 and has a partition 23 dividing the tubes into two groups. The elements may be contained in a separate extension casing 13, Fig. 1, or in the main casing 16 itself and the ring 27 around the fan may be formed as a channel with drainage arrangements for leakage water.. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states also that a generator, cooled as described above, may be suspended at the end 4 by a housing 7 which forms a part of the turbine. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Sighting Instruments Employed for Ascertaining the Heights of Objects.
IPC: G01C5/00
Filed: 1916-09-15
Abstract: 125,619. Evershed & Vignoles, and Needham, J. C. Sept. 15, 1916. Rangeand height funders. - In height-finding apparatus of the type comprising sighting-devices rotatable in planes which pass through and are rotatable about parallel horizontal axes at the ends of a known base, and also comprising instruments which indicate the height in accordance with the inclinations of the planes, the sighting- devices at the ends of the base are capable, of being turned in azimuth so as to turn the axes through predetermined angles. The sighting- instruments may thus be set up at a greater distance apart than the length of base for which the height-indicating instrument is calibrated, and be rotated until the axes are at a distance apart equal to that length of base, the indicating- instrument then giving correct reading. The invention may be applied to height-finding appar. atus as described in Specification 15390/15. Fig. 5 shows the base of a sighting-instrument mounted rotatably on a pedestal p and capable of being turned by handles i. The necessary rotation of the sighting-instrument is made with the aid of a scale on, or in connexion with, the instrument. As shown, the scale m is on the pedestal and is graduated so that the necessary rotation is made by adjusting a fiducial mark n on the base of the instrument to the graduation numbered in accordance with the distance beween the instruments. The scale may indicate degrees or cosines, the magnitude of the angle of rotation or its cosine being then determined before adjusting the instrument.

May 5, 1933, No. 13193. Convention date, April 7. [Classes 100 (ii) and 100 (iii).] To enable matter to be composed in the various languages which are printed in Devanagari or similar scripts, the matrices, types, &c. of a fount are formed with incomplete and non-indicative characters, which can be joined laterally with one or more others to produce complete indicative characters, which are either identical with, or closely resemble, the characters of the Devanagari script.

Title: Device to release opened gates of enclosures and the like

Abstract: 437,523. Door holders. CLAYSON, E., 87, Marne Street, Queens Park, Paddington, London, and WIDGER, L., 42, Raleigh Drive, Tolworth, Surrey. May 2, 1934, No. 13206. [Class 65 (i)] A device for holding open gates until released by a treadle operated by a vehicle passing through comprises a pivoted catch member having a number of abutments and operated by the treadle to release and engage successively the gate or a member carried thereby, the catch member also having a single separate abutment which successively engages and releases, under the action of the treadle, a number of abutments on a member on the gate. The number of abutments used corresponds to the number of axles of the vehicle which is to release the holder. In the form shown, applied to a swinging gate I and arranged for operation by a two-axled vehicle, the catch member C, pivoted on a post fixed at a suitable position and connected to a treadle A which is depressed by the wheels of a vehicle, has two abutments J, arranged to co-operate with a pivoted member H on the gate which swings over the abutments J during opening of the gate, and an additional abutment F on its weighted tail, arranged to co-operate with two abutments G on a member fixed to the gate I. The gate is held open by member H engaging the inner abutment J, as shown ; depression of the treadle A moves abutments J clear of plate H, but brings abutment F into engagement with the inner abutment G after slight movement of the gate, and release of the treadle then allows the catch to return to normal, carrying F clear of G and engaging the outer abutment J with H. Operation of the treadle by the second axle frees H, but closing of the gate is prevented, until the treadle is released, by abutment F engaging the outer abutment G.

Title: The production of multi-coloured artificial cellulosic materials in the form of bottle capsules
IPC: B29D99/00
Filed: 1933-05-08
Abstract: Multicoloured bottle-capsules are obtained from viscose or other aqueous solutions of cellulose by separately dyeing or colouring any number of equal or unequal portions and bringing them together to form a heterogeneously coloured solution from which the capsules are formed, and regeneration or coagulation is effected before the differently coloured portions of the solution have completely mixed. If desired one or more coloured cellulose solutions may be mixed with an uncoloured solution. Alternatively, one or more colours or dyes may be heterogeneously added to a colourless or already uniformly coloured cellulosic solution.  The dyes may be added in the form of solutions. Mixtures of different cellulosic solutions may be employed. Finely divided filling materials may be added to any of the differently coloured cellulosic solutions so as to obtain translucent or opaque effects.  The capsules are obtained by dipping glass or other formers into the heterogeneously coloured cellulosic solution, and then dipping the coated formers into a coagulating or regenerating bath.  The capsules while still on the formers may be dipped into baths for removal of any unregenerated cellulose, for bleaching, and other finishing operations.  The capsules are stripped while in the wet state and are applied to bottle-necks to which they cling by shrinkage on drying. Dyestuffs which may be used are benzo-direct dyes, vat dye-stuffs such as indanthrene, acid dyes such as tartrazine and disulphine naphthalene, water-soluble anthraquinone dyes, chlorazol or thionol dyes, or pigment dyes.  In some cases the colours may be discharged by the viscose, or by the precipitating, or coagulating baths, but the colours are restored by treatment with neutralizing baths or oxidizing baths.
