Filed: 1974-05-02
Abstract: 1436281 A wrist strap formed from links FRITZ BURKLE KG 2 May 1974 19255/74 Heading A3H A wrist strap formed from a plurality of pivotally interconnected links, each link 1, 2 comprising an inner part 1 having a recess 4 and link pins 5, and an outer portion 2 for accommodating the inner part 1 and having a lug 10 and recess 8 such that after the insertion of the part 1 within the 2 linkpins 5 projecting into a space defined by the recesses 4 and 8 become available for pivotally engaging a lug 10 of an adjacent link while lug 10 is engaged with link-pins 5 of another link. The space 48 of the link at one end of the strap can receive a projection 14 of a portion 13 and link-pins 16 of the portion 13 engage the lug 10 of a penultimate link of the other end of the strap to interconnect the two end links of the strap. A clasp element 17 may be engaged with the portion 13 while its link pins (20) Fig. 14 (not shown) projecting into its recess (19) pivotally engage the lug 10 of the end link of the other end of the strap. The element 17 is biased towards its closed position aided by its extension (22) Fig. 14 (not shown) and the biassing effect is reinforced by a leaf spring 23. A connector link (11) Fig. 10 and 11 (not shown) for attaching the strap to a wrist watch comprises a bent-over piece (12) for engaging with a connector bar of the watch, and a bent-over lug (110) for pivotally mounting on the link-pins 5 of the end link of the strap.

Filed: 1959-06-05
Abstract: The invention comprises alkylene diamines N - monoacylated with a poly - (amino - dicarboxylic)acid, other than N - (a  - poly - L - glutamyl)ethylene diamine and the preparation thereof by N-monoacylating an alkylene diamine with a poly(amino-dicarboxylic acid).  The poly(amino-dicarboxylic)acids are preferably a -poly-L-glutamic, g -poly-D-glutamic, DL-anhydro-polyaspartic and a -aminoadipic acid and the alkylene diamines are ethylene diamine, putrescine, N-alkyl- and N,N-dialkyl-ethylene diamines and N-mono acetylethylene diamine.  The products are preferably completely amidated i.e. substantially all the free carboxyl groups are amidated by one of the nitrogen atoms of a diamine; acylation is carried out by reacting a reactive derivative of the acid e.g. an ester or acid halide, with the diamine in an excess of at least 5 molecules of diamine per free carboxylic acid group or derivative thereof in the polypeptide chain.  Mixed amides may be formed by stepwise amidation.

The substrate 4 may be of paper coated with a heat-releasable adhesive such as wax and the film layers may themselves have adhesive properties within discrete temperature ranges. Appropriate heating of the transfer, deformable member and ceramic article causes the transfer to be released from the substrate, temporarily adhered to the deformable member and finally released from the deformable member and adhered to the ceramic article. Preferably the deformable member is of rubber, silicone rubber or gelatine, for example a foam rubber body covered with a sheet of silicone rubber, and the two films are of acrylic composition, examples of which are given.

In photographic contact-printing apparatus of the kind described in the parent Specification wherein the exposure is effected through a transparent window on the other side of which (from the light) the light-sensitive material is pressed by inducing a vacuum beneath a flexible cover, and wherein there is a shutter between the light source and the window and means to connect the vacuum-space beneath the cover to a suction-operated device for actuating the shutter, a valve is provided between the vacuum connection to the flexible cover and the means for vacuum operation of the shutter so that even after the application of vacuum to the cover, the shutter does not open until the operator actuates the valve. As shown, the shutter comprises flaps 13, 14 hinged above the lamps in a cabinet 11. A glass plate is mounted in a frame 17 hinged about a rod 25 and connected to a counterweight 19, so that it may swing down over the top of the cabinet or to a face-up position on brackets 20. A second frame 21 with rubber seal 22 is also hinged to rod 25. When the glass frame 17 is swung down on frame 21 and vacuum is produced between them, the frames are urged together and may be swung down over the cabinet together, with the original and sensitive material pressed between them. The frames are held together by a hooked catch 28 engaging a projection 29 on the glass frame, and operated by a rockshaft 27 carried by frame 21 and having a handle 30. When the shaft is turned to engage the catch a micro-switch is operated to start a vacuum pump, which is connected by pipes and a rotatable joint to frame 21, thus forming the vacuum. A second rock-shaft 40 mounted on the cabinet operates a catch holding the frames when swung down on the cabinet, and also operates a valve connecting the pump to the bellows operating the shutters.

[Also in Division B7] A method of manufacturing a pneumatic tyre comprises the steps of moulding and vulcanizing a radial cord casing, radially and transversely expanding the casing while it is still hot by applying an internal pressure immediately after it leaves the mould, so as to stretch the monofilamentary nylon or rayon cords of the casing, leaving the casing to cool under tension to a temperature below the contraction temperature of the cords to stabilize them at their stretched length, and, finally, fixing to the casing an inextensible crown layer and a tread having an inner diameter substantially equal to the final outer diameter of the expanded casing. The tyre is then inserted in a mould to shape and vulcanize the tread, this operation being calked out so that the already vulcanized side walls of the tyre are not over-heated. To avoid this possibility, the side walls may be applied after the casing has been vulcanized and expanded. In an alternative method the tread and the crown layer may be vulcanised separately and then adhesively secured to the expanded casing.

A resistor and a capacitor are connected in series between the input terminals of a conetype moving-coil loudspeaker, the resistor having a resistance R substantially equal to the effective resistance of the speech coil of the loudspeaker, and the capacitor having a capacity C such that 1/(2#foC) is substantially equal to R, where fo is the frequency at which the resistance R and the reactance 2#foL of the speech coil are equal. This is shown to result in a constant and purely resistive load for frequencies above the resonant frequency of the loudspeaker. Two such arrangements associated with loudspeakers for reproducing relatively high and relatively low frequencies respectively may be fed via a constant resistance cross-over network.
