Title: Improvements in hinges for doors, windows and like pivotally-mounted panel members
IPC: E05D3/02
Filed: 1927-04-29
Abstract: 270,694. Thiry, L. May 4, 1926, [Convention date]. Hinges.-For doors, windows and panel members an elastic material 3 such as indiarubber is interposed between the hinge pin 4 and the socket 7, the elastic material being caused to adhere strongly to the members 4, 7 by subjecting it to a relatively great initial deformation in order that the relative movement between the pin and socket members is obtained solely by the circular molecular deformation of the elastic material, transverse movements of the pin being permitted by radial deformation. The hinge shown in Fig. 2 is a section of the upper hinge of a vehicle door, the socket 7 being secured to the vehicle body and the pin 4 rotating with the plate 8 secured to the door. The material 3 is elongated during compression, and the ends may be left free or axially compressed by plates secured to the end of the socket 7. The lower hinge, shown in Fig. 3, has a central socket 8<1> and three rings 3 of elastic material deformed as previously described; or two rings may be used. In this hinge the pivot pin 4 is not rigidly secured to either of the flaps. Only the upper hinge may be provided with the deformed elastic ring. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the statement that the ring 3 may be given an initial torsion about the axis so that the door tends to open or close. Moreover, a hinge may also be constructed of two concentric tubes separated by indiarubber caused to adhere to each tube, the tubes being secured respectively to the hinged flaps; instead of effecting this adhesion by an initial deformation, the rubber may be vulcanised to the hinge pin, sockets or tubes. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Specification 243,679 is referred to.

Title: Synthetic resin
IPC: C08G8/28
Filed: 1923-04-30
Abstract: A synthetic resin, soluble in alcohol, is produced by condensing formaldehyde, a phenol and a polyoxyaldehyde in the presence of hydrochloric acid, so that the oxybenzylalcohol resulting from the interaction of the phenol and formaldehyde forms a glucoside, the whole polymerizing to a resin.  In an example phenol, formaldehyde, glucose and concentrated hydrochloric acid are heated to 65-70 DEG C. and the precipitated heavy oil washed with water and dried at a temperature not exceeding 55 DEG  C. to form the resin.  Other suitable phenols are crude cresol, thymol, carvacrol, pyrocatechin, guaiacol and resorcin.  The resins may be employed as electric insulators and their solutions for varnishes and for impregnating woollen and hair textiles and woollen and fur felts.  The Provisional Specification describes the use of a mineral acid generally.

Title: Electromagnetic relay
IPC: H01H50/54
Filed: 1978-03-23
Abstract: The relay has two changeover switches inside the cavity of the coil (2). Each changeover switch has a normally-open contact yoke (3) and a contact spring yoke (4) with a contact spring (8) attached to the contact spring yoke and an armature (9) disposed on the contact spring and a normally-closed contact piece (5). The yokes (3, 4) and the normally-closed contact piece of each changeover switch are inserted into grooves (1a, 1b or 1c, 1b) of the coil body (1). The magnetic return takes place through a metal cover plate (10) which, when the relay is embedded in the potting resin, prevents the resin from penetrating the contact area which is hermetically sealed. The relay is intended, for example, for installation in printed circuit boards for which relays with contacts closely packed in glass tubes are less suitable due to the tensions occurring due to the bending of the circuit board. <IMAGE>

Title: Injectable Adjuvant, method of preparing same and Compositions including such Adjuvant
IPC: A61K45/08
Filed: 1967-03-14
Abstract: 1,185,225. Sustained release injections. HAVER-LOCKHART LABORATORIES, Inc. 14 March, 1967 [1 April, 1966], No. 11968/67. Heading A5B. [Also in Division C3] A sustained release injectable adjuvant carrier for a medicinal agent comprises water and Type 2 collagen or Type 3 collagen or a mixture thereof. Type 2 collagen is prepared by mild acid treatment of a saline-extracted collagen source such as cartilage or bone; if the source is tendon, the saline extraction stage may be omitted. Type 3 collagen is obtained by allowing Type 2 to age until a required degree of polymerisation has taken place, to give an adjuvant with slower release properties than Type 2. The source materials are preferably defatted e.g. with ether, and subjected to trypsinisation, prior to the saline extraction. The latter is performed with 0.9% aqueous sodium chloride at room temperature for two hours. The acid treatment consists of standing the collagen source in 0.01M acetic acid at room temperature for several hours, when most of the collagen disperses into solution. The viscous solution is brought to a pH of 6.0 to 9.0, when a highly viscous sediment precipitates out; this product, which, after separation of the supernatant, contains 85 to 99% water, is the required adjuvant. It may be sterilised with a small quantity of formalin and admixed with a medicinal agent; the resulting composition sets to a gel in vivo after injection and provides a slow and sustained release of the medicament. Alternatively, the composition may be dried, e.g. by freeze-drying, and injected in the form of a solid filament. Suitable medicaments are immunological agents such as attenuated or killed viruses (e.g. equine encephalomyelitis, canine distemper), hormones or vitamins, especially vitamin A, or antibiotics. Pencillin and streptomycin also may be included as preservatives. An injectable vitamin A composition exemplified also contains a surface active agent (polysorbate 80), ethanol, cotton seed oil and soy bean oil.

Abstract: 1352023 Boots &c RO-SEARCH Inc 29 April 1971 [4 May 1970 4 June 1970 6 Oct 1970 (2) 2 March 1971] 12255/71 Heading A3B [Also in Division B5] A method of making a shoe includes the steps of stitching a strip of material 3 and a lasting cord 4 to the bottom margin of an upper 1, string lasting the upper on a moulding last 2 and moulding an elastomeric sole 20 directly onto the upper 1, cord 4 and strip 3. When assembling the upper 1 on the last 2 the top edge of the upper 1 may be located by pins 42 or a shoulder 41 (Fig. 6) and during the string lasting the bottom edge and string 4 may be located by a movable projecting portion 7 (Fig. 1) in the last bottom or by ribs 18 (Fig. 2). The ribs 18 or projection 7 also prevent the upper 1 from being over tightened during the string lasting. The strip 3 is at least partially mouldable and may cover the top edge of the sole 20 as shown in Fig. 1 in the manner of a welt, the strip 3 being located during mouding by pins 21 projecting from the side moulds 8. The strip 3 may also cover part of the outer edge of the sole 20 as shown in Fig. 6, the free edge of the strip 3 being turned inwardly by a projection 28 on the side mould 8 so that it becomes embedded in the sole 20. Alternatively the strip 3 may be formed by an angular extrusion (Fig. 2) with a hollow 22, the strip 3 being sufficiently rigid to eliminate the side mould, the strip 3 being held by a shoulder 24 on the bottom mould 10.  The mould side frame (Fig. 4) is divided longitudinally and is further divided into separate heel and/or toe segments movable in relation to the middle part by means of hinge pins 45. The side frame may also include a pressure pad 47 which forces the back seam of the upper closely against the last 2, the pressure pad 47 being urged inwardly by a cam surface 48 when the side frame is closed. The main part of the last 2 may be heated by a heating element 15 (Fig. 2) to heat set the upper I, the last sole plate 14 being insulated by an air gap 16.  The moulding is preferably performed in a turret type injection moulding machine in which the last 2 is moved between a loading station and a moulding station. The side mould 8 (Fig. 6) is fixed to the last carrier 51 by posts 52 having setting and locking devices 53 so that the side mould 8 is placed against the upper 1 on the last 2 at the loading station. This allows the operator to visually inspect the position of the strip 3 in the side mould 8.

Abstract: 1,154,108. Distilling oil shale .&c. McDOWELL-WELLMAN ENG. CO. 4 April, 1967, No. 12454/67. Heading C5E. Oil shale, tar sands, coal, lignite or other oilbearing organic material, e.g. cellulose material, is treated on a moving grate of the circular or straight line kind by being passed successively through two zones. In the first zone hot gases traverse the shale &c. to heat a portion of it to at least 800‹ F. and educt from it oil which is condensed in a portion of the shale which is below oil-educting temperature, the oil being separated from the gases which are passed to the second zone where they traverse the oildepleted shale &c. and are heated prior to being recycled to the first zone. The gases may traverse the shale &c. upwardly or downwardly, and air or other O 2 - containing gas may be delivered to gases in the second zone to burn off uncondensed hydrocarbons and raise the gas temperature to 1200‹ to 1400‹ F. An ignition zone may precede the first zone; see Figs. 2 and 6 (not shown), and an unspecified cracking catalyst may form the base layer on the grate. In one modification, Fig. 4 (not shown) an intermediate sintering zone is provided to which air or hot combustion gases are delivered to raise the bed temperature, oil-depleted gases from this zone also being delivered to the second main zone. Other modifications are described in which oil obtained from the first zone is recycled to an intermediate zone (Fig. 7) where wax-like molecules in the oil are cracked to alter its viscosity, and in Figs. 8 to 10 are shown various oil and gas recycle circuits to different zones.
