Patent GB-379035-A (GB)
Title: Improvements relating to the moulding of hollow rubber articles
IPC: B29C49/46
Filed: 1931-06-23
Abstract: 379,035. Moulding hollow rubber articles. MAGYAR RUGGYANTA‡- RUGYAR RESZV•NYT‡RSAS‡G, 17, Kerepesi-ut, Budapest. June 23, 1931, No. 18215. Convention date, July 1, 1930. [Class 87 (ii).] Hollow rubber articles are made by feeding a pair of unvulcanized rubber strips 4, 5 from spools 2, 3 between a pair of dies 16a, 16b which first lightly press the strips together while nozzles 25 advance and charge a separating medium, in liquid or solid form, into the space enclosed by the dies, to prevent the rubber strips from adhering, the nozzles then being retracted and the dies further advanced to blank out the article and weld its edges together. The articles remain lightly attached to the strips, which are lifted from the lower die by tongs 42a, 42b, the strips then being fed forward through one die-space. The articles are subsequently removed from the strips and vulcanized in moulds, the heating operation causing the separating medium enclosed in the article to generate gas and to inflate the article into contact with the mould. The strips are wound on the spools with textile strips 6, 7 which serve to prevent successive coils of the rubber contacting and which also serve to feed the rubber from the spools, the textile strips being advanced by segments 8a, 12a on feed rolls 8, 12 for this purpose. The feed rolls are intergeared and are driven by a chain 52, the roll 12 being mounted on a spring-pressed pivoted arm 9 which allows the phase of the segments 8a, 12a to be adjusted, thereby varying the period of contact of the segments and hence the feed of the strips. The rubber strips are led over heated smooth surfaces 14a, 14b into position between the dies and a feed slide 33 actuated by a lever 37 operated by the press head 19 is moved to advance the nozzles 25 by means of fingers 43 on the feed slide. The nozzles 25 are inserted between the dies when the latter have lightly closed on to the strips, and in this position a valve 31 controlled by a stop 30 on the press head admits a charge of ammonium carbonate or a mixture of ammonium chloride and ammonium nitrite or of talc and ammonium carbonate from a vessel 27 under pressure, into the space confined by the dies. Aqueous ammonia or an aqueous solution of ammonium chloride and ammonium nitrite may also be used as the separating agent to prevent adhesion of the rubber. After injection of the charge, the nozzles are retracted by a link 35<1> and the dies complete their stroke to blank out the strips. On the ascent of the upper die the arm 37 is rocked to advance the feed ledge 34 into contact with the welded strips and to carry forward the article through a distance of one die-space, the article being lifted from the lower die by cam-actuated tongs 42a, 42b to facilitate this motion. The upper die 16b is actuated by a connecting rod 21 driven by a crank 22 and is counterpoised by a weight 23.

Abstract: 689,725. Portable lighters. FLORMAN, 1. Aug. 9, 1951, No. 18795/51. Class 75(iii) A pyrophoric lighter using compressed gas has the manual operating device so connected to the delivery valve of the gas container and the ignition. means, such as a friction-wheel and flint or a catalytic or electric igniter, through, separate driving elements supported on a common axis (disc-cam and resilient-pawl disc respectively) that the valve is opened shortlybefore the ignition means come into operation and the valve operating means is-such that a link in the operating mechanism therefor can by longitudinal movement be disengaged from the valve and from the particular driving element supported' on the above common axis. A compressed-gas container. 25 carries on its top a, control valve 26 having. a stem terminating in a head 29 which when raised against spring, action allows escape of gas through a pin hole 30. The stem of the valve is engaged by the forked forward end of a lever 31, two rearwardly extending arms 31a, 31b of which carry outwardly extending pins 32a, 32b which normally rest in notches 35 at the ends of slots 34a, 34b in lugs 12a, 12b on top of the lighter, and also inwardly extending pins 33a, 33b which in the inoperative position of the lighter engage recesses 36 in the edges of cam discs 16a, 16b. The latter, connected by a bridge 16c, are rotatably mounted together with a flint wheel 14 and pawl disc 15 on a pin 13 extending between the lugs 12a, 12b, a straight upper edge of the pawl disc 15 being engaged by the bridge 16c so that the parts will rotate together. Radial slots 21 in the cam discs 16a, 16b are engaged by pins 22a, 22b on arms 20a, 20b of a thumb piece 20. Depression of the thumb piece against spring action results in the pins 22a, 22b rotating the cam discs clockwise, viewing Fig. 4, so that the pins 33a, 33b are pushed down and the valve 26 is opened by the lever 31; the pawl disc 15 is also rotated but entrainment of the flint wheel 14 is delayed until a pawl tooth 15a of the disc engages one of the relatively widely spaced teeth of the flint wheel, by which time gas is escaping from the pin hole 30. To permit removal of the gas container through the bottom of the lighter, the lever 31 is disengaged from the valve 26 by raising it and sliding it backwards, the pins 32a, 32b being lifted from the notches 35 and sliding back along the slots 34a, 34b.
