Abstract: 368,685. Carburetters.. CLAUDEL, C. H., Veuxhaulles, Cote d'Or, France. Sept. 3, 1930, No. 26293. Convention date, Sept. 4, 1929. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. [Class 7 (iii).] In a carburetter, nozzles 21, 13, 31 for slow running, normal running, and full throttle opening respectively are arranged in the same plane, the nozzles 13, 31 communicating with the float chamber through openings in its wall and with the main nozzle through submerged jets 14, 32 and passages 16, 16<1>. The nozzles intercommunicate through a passage 63 in which a jet 62 may be arranged between the nozzles 13, 31.

Title: Improvements in or relating to means for reducing the switching off time of power switches
IPC: H01H33/32

Abstract: 362,459. High-tension switches. SIEMENS-SCHUCKERTWERKE AKT.-GES., Siemensstadt, Berlin. Sept. 4, 1930, No. 26471. Convention date, Dec. 17, 1929. [Class 38 (v).] Pneumatic and like actuation.-A power switch operated by compressed air or insulating liquid drive has its contact member carried with some lost-motion on the usual actuating member so that the contact member itself may be given a rapid movement by fluid pressure to break the circuit. The operating rod which also may be under compressed air or otner drive subsequantly takes up the free play, finally withdrawing the contacts to the desired separating distance. As shown, applied to a switch in which the freed contact 3 is submerged in water in a pot 2 and the movable contact plug is withdrawn from the pot so that the resulting fall of pressure quells the arc, the contact-rod 5 is carried by a piston 6 in a cylinder 7 located at the end of the operating rod 15. When, on overload, the differential magnet 11 fails to hold up the valve 14 compressed air is admitted through the pipe 10 to the piston which is rapidly raised to lift the contact-rod 5. Owing to the small mass of the movable contact parts they can be accelerated much more rapidly than the operating rod 15. Specification 354,890 is referred to.

Patent GB-449243-A (GB)
Title: Process of improving the crease-resisting properties of textile materials
IPC: D06M15/423
Filed: 1934-09-19
Abstract: The crease-resisting properties of textiles are improved by impregnation with a partially condensed resinous aldehyde condensation product which is unstable in the presence of acid, and heating to insolubilize the resin in the presence of a potentially acid substance in amount at least ,25 per cent by weight of the undiluted reaction mixture.  A urea-formaldehyde condensation product is preferably used, in either acid, neutral or alkaline solution. The following may also be condensed: thiourea, ammonium cyanate, biuret, phenol, adipamide, dicyandiamide and ammonium thiocyanate. Final condensation may be effected by direct contact with steam. Suitable potentially acid substances are the following ammonium salts:--acetate, formate, citrate, maleate, tartrate, oxalate, sulphate, chloride or sulphonate, also compounds of similar bases such as mono-methylamine, the ethanolamines, the hydrazines and cyclohexylamines; the following are excepted; sodium dihydrogen phosphate, potassium tetroxalate, aluminium acetate, ammonium sulphide or thiocyanate.  When using urea-formaldehyde products it is preferred to employ a solution having a molecular ratio of 1 : 1,6 of urea to formaldehyde, and consisting mainly of monomethyl and/or dimethylol urea.  In examples: (1) 100 gms. urea is dissolved in 200 c.cs. of neutralized 40 per cent formaldehyde solution and the mixture acidified to pH 4,5 with tartaric acid. After dilution and condensation for 2--5 hrs. in the cold, the solution is diluted to half of its original concentration and 2--3 gms. ammonium dihydrogen phosphate per 100 ccs. of concentrated mixture is added.  Fabrics are impregnated with this solution, squeezed dried, and heated for 2 mins. at 120 DEG  C. (2) 1, mol. proportion of urea is stirred into 1.1 mol. proportion of 40 per cent formaldehyde after adding alkali sufficient to make the solution N/100.  The mixture is cooled to 20 DEG  C. stirred for 6 hrs. and left for 18 hrs.  On further cooling monomethyl urea separates.  28 gms. thereof are dissolved in 75 ccs. water and 1 gm. tertiary ammonium phosphate added.  A textile material is impregnated with the solution, dried and heated for 2 mins. at 120 DEG  C.  Specifications 291,473 and 291,474, [both in Class 2 (iii)], 437,361, and 437,441 are referred to in the Second Provisional Specification.

Title: Improvements in or relating to artificial filaments, yarns, or threads and the like, and the manufacture and treatment thereof
IPC: D01D5/04
Filed: 1929-09-05
Abstract: Cellulose carboxylates, nitrates, xanthates, ammoniacal-copper cellulose solutions, processes and apparatus for making filaments from.-Ornamental or other effects are produced on artificial filaments &c. by applying to the filaments, whilst the substance of the latter is in a sticky condition, materials adapted to adhere to their surface.  Materials mentioned are bronze, aluminium, coloured, luminous, and phosphorescent powders, such as barium sulphide, zinc sulphide, or calcium sulphide.  Dull or matt effects may be produced by applying inorganic materials such as barium sulphate, titanium oxide, zinc oxide, or organic substances, for example, the condensation <PICT:0341057/IV/1> products of urea or thiourea with benzidine, a-dinaphthyl urea, a-dinaphthyl thiourea, diacetylbenzidine, or dibenzoyl-benzidine. Other materials which may be caused to adhere to the surface of the filaments are short fibres or filaments, so as to obtain effects ranging from an occasional hairiness to a chenille-like material.  The process may be carried out continuously with the production of the filaments and while the filaments are still in a sticky condition whether the production, is by the dry evaporative, or the wet coagulation method, or it may be carried out subsequently to the production of the filament, by applying a substance having a solvent or softening action on the substance of the filament, in order to render the filaments sufficiently sticky to allow the applied materials to adhere.  When working by the latter method, the filaments may be passed over rods, rollers, or wicks supplied with the solvent.  In carrying out the process, the materials may be applied to the sticky filaments by means of a gaseous stream, which may or may not contain vapours of a solvent for the substance of the filaments, so as to prevent premature setting of the filaments.  In the drawing, the spinning jet 5 is surrounded by a cylinder 7 adapted to restrict the evaporation of the solvent from the filaments in the vicinity of the jet, whilst a current of air supplied with powders, fibres or the like 10 from the hopper 11, is directed by means of a jet 8, through an opening 15 in the wall of the cylinder 7, so as to blow across the path of the filaments 6.  The cylinder 7 is conveniently fitted to the filter 4, and adapted so as to slide up the filter to render the p  jet accessible for attention.  The excess of ornamental material, fibres &c. in the air current may be removed by suction through the funnel 17 and filter 19; the air carrying solvent vapour passes out through a pipe 21 to a solvent recovery plant. Specifications 165,519, 198,023, [both in Class 2 (ii), Cellulose &c.], 340,324, 340,325, 340,436, and 340,437 are referred to.

Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4). In a method of making metal sheet or strip plated with a layer of alloy steel or non-ferrous metal, a layer of the plating metal is welded to a backing plate by series arc deposition welding in which an arc is struck between two electrodes of the metal to be deposited and the compound slab is then rolled to the required thickness. In an example, a mild steel plate has a layer of austenitic steel applied by series arc welding between a first electrode containing 20 parts of chromium and 10 parts of nickel and a second electrode containing 18 parts of chromium and 8 parts of nickel which ensures that the metal. layer is austenitic throughout. The layer is ground to remove irregularities and is hot and cold rolled with intermediate quenching steps at 900-1100‹ C. followed by final annealing in the absence of air at 650-750‹ C. The welding may take place under a blanket of flux or in inert gas such as argon containing a small amount of oxygen.
