Patent GB-1271939-A (GB)
Title: Method of sealing an article into a pack
Inventor: RAPER GEORGE JOHN
IPC: B65B11/48
Filed: 1968-06-21
Abstract: 1,271,939. Pill package. DANIEL GREENAWAY & SONS Ltd. 24 July, 1969 [21 June, 1968], No. 29722/68. Heading B8C. A method of sealing pills into a pack comprises cutting openings in a sheet of card coated on one side with a heat responsive adhesive, enclosing the pills between sheets of covering material and placing them on the coated side of the card, folding the card back upon itself so that each pill is located within a pair of aligned openings whilst the covering sheets are held between the facing coated surfaces of the card, and then applying pressure and heat to the folded card to cause at least the edges of the contacting coated surfaces of the card to adhere to one another. The covering sheets are made from a transparent material and/or a metallic foil which preferably are such that the pills can be manually pressed through them. An extended portion of the card, folded over upon itself to provide a double thickness, is folded downwardly over the packed pills. The operation of cutting the openings for a number of packs may be performed on a single sheet of card (Figs. 1 and 2) which is subsequently cut to provide a plurality of cards (Fig. 3) for individual packs. The preferred method includes printing on the uncoated face of the card prior to cutting the opening or openings. The card is a high gloss white coated enamel board.

Title: Improvements in or relating to photographic recorder with a continuously movable character-carrying member
Filed: 1951-12-19
Abstract: 737,657. Arc lamps. INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORPORATION. Dec. 19, 1951 [Dec. 30, 1950], No. 29734/51. Class 39 (1). [Also in Group XL (b)] A multiple arc unit for use with a photographic multi-character recorder comprises a metal base member 58 containing a series of vertical electrodes 55, 57 and horizontal electrodes 56, preferably made of tungsten. Electrodes 55, 56 are insulated with nylon bushings 67, 68. Each arc unit is screened by a metal barrier 70 which also prevents the discharge of one arc from causing the discharge of an adjacent arc. The voltage across electrodes 55, 57 maintained by a condenser (not shown), is normally below striking level, but the occurrence of a high voltage transient on triggering electrode 56 causes the arc to fire for a very short interval of time.

Title: Production of sponge rubber
Filed: 1951-12-21
Abstract: 711,871. Moulds for sponge rubber. UNITED STATES RUBBER CO. Dec. 21, 1951 [Jan. 5, 1951], No. 29938/51. Class 87 (2) Sponge-rubber articles are made by vulcanizing latex foam, mixed with foaming and gelling agents, in a mould 10 having hollow cores 14 each of which carries a fine porous filter portion 29 in contact with the latex through which steam under pressure can be passed into the latex to effect vulcanization. The cover 12 of the mould carries five such hollow cores as well as a number of solid aluminium cores 13. The filter discs 29 of Fig. 2 are held in a removable holder 31 and are made of microporous stainless steel whose pore size, 20 to 80 microns, is such that latex cannot enter the pores. Steam escapes through holes 41. In the modified core of Fig. 4, the filter is in the form of a thick tube 38 of microporous carbon material which is clamped between circular plates 33, 39. Ceramic or sintered glass filters may be used. The filter may be covered with a layer of phenol-formaldehyde to prevent the latex from adhering to it. The mould cover 12 is hinged at 15 and secured in the closed position by a catch 17. Specification 687,504 is referred to.

Divided out of 420,296. [Class 18] A roll 48, Fig. 1, of wrapping paper &c. is held vertically between conical bearing-pieces 47 on a tube 46 revoluble on bearings 49 carried on a hinged piece 44. A screw 50 engages loosely at 51 with the upper end of the tube 46 so that this can be disengaged at the top and swung to a horizontal position in order that by removing the upper bearing-piece 47 a roll may be placed on the tube or rod 46. The free end of the paper sheet is retained between members 60, 56, Fig. 3, of which member 60 is movable outwards to permit of free insertion of the paper. This retaining apparatus is rigid with a revoluble tube 39 which is slotted at 7 to take the blade of a cutter, so that when the roll becomes smaller the paper may still pass tangentially through the retaining device and be correctly positioned with respect to the cutter. The cutter consists of a disc 74 mounted revolubly in a carrier 72 which can be moved along a rod 71 and is retained in its upper position by a leaf spring 7, 8. According to the Provisional Specification the tube 46 may be replaced by a rod and the disc cutter by a bar with a cutting edge.

Title: Manufacture of coloured lacquers and film-forming coating compositions
IPC: C08K5/00
Filed: 1935-10-31
Abstract: Azo dyes, complex material compounds of.--Lacquers and film-forming coating-compositions (including gelatine solutions) are coloured by dissolving therein an azo dye-stuff (other than a triarylmethane azo dyestuff) capable of forming complex metal compounds, and developing the colour by adding simultaneously or subsequently chromic acid or a salt thereof or an acetate of a metal other than chromium, e.g. copper, nickel, cobalt or iron. In place of such acetate, a mixture of an inorganic salt of the metal and an alkali metal acetate may be employed.  The colour is developed, if necessary, by gentle warming. The azo dyestuff used may or may not be water-soluble but is preferably water-insoluble if a lacquer having a basis of higher alcohols, esters or softening agents is to be coloured. Advantageously the dyestuff and the agent yielding metal are mixed and the resulting dry powder is dissolved in the lacquer.  The water-insoluble dyestuffs may be derived from the following diazo and coupling components, provided that the necessary groups capable of forming metal complexes are present in the combination, viz., as diazo components, mono- and di-chloranilines, 2-aminophenol and its derivatives, e.g. 3-amino-4-oxytoluene, 4- and 5-nitro-2-aminophenol, 4 : 6-dinitro-2-aminophenol and chloro-2-aminophenols, o-aminocarboxylic acids, e.g. 2-aminobenzoic and 3-amino-2-naphthoic acids and their nitro derivatives, o-oxycarboxylic acid derivatives, e.g. amino-2-oxybenzoic acids, and o-alkoxyamines, and, as coupling components, p-cresol, 1 : 3-diaminobenzene and its substitution products, 2-naphthol, 2 naphthylamine, dioxynaphthalenes, salicylic acid and its homologues, 1 : 3-dioxybenzenecarboxylic acids, o-oxynaphthalenecarboxylic acids, 3-amino-2-naphthoic acid, 2 : 4-dioxyquinoline and compounds containing a --CO--CH2-- group capable of coupling, e.g. acetoacetic ester and its derivatives, pyrazolones and sulphazones.  A table is given indicating the proportions in which each of a number of suitable dyestuffs may be incorporated with a specified type of lacquer.  Specifications 241,214, 309,148, [both in Class 91], 423,892, and 456,029 are referred to.ALSO:Film-forming gelatine solutions are coloured by dissolving therein an azo dyestuff (other than a triarylmethane azo dyestuff) capable of forming complex metal compounds and developing the colour by adding simultaneously or subsequently chromic acid or a salt thereof or an acetate of a metal other than chromium, e.g. copper, nickel, cobalt or iron.
