Filed: 1968-12-13
Abstract: 1,246,288. Circuit assemblies. J. L. R. WINDER. 13 March, 1970 [13 Dec., 1968], No. 28590/68. Heading H1R. [Also in Division H2] An electrical component assembly is made by inserting bare end portions of component terminal wires and/or pins and jumper and input and output wires into holes in one or more resilient insulating support members, so that wires and/or pins to be electrically interconnected are retained in mutual direct contact in a respective hole by the resilience of the support member or members. Wires and pins to be joined may be welded or crimped together before being inserted in a hole. Fig. 3 shows a plurality of resilient insulating grommets g, h, j each located in an aperture in a panel k. Terminal wires of components a, b, e, and connecting wires s are inserted in small through holes in the grommets, being thus interconnected as shown. Alternatively, a multi-hole grommet may be used, either being located in an aperture in a panel (Fig. 4, not shown) or having spigots by means of which it is supported spaced from a panel (Fig. 5, not shown). In the latter case, a thin insulating member (q) may be provided when the panel is conductive to prevent short circuiting of wire ends. The whole assembly may be encapsulated, preferably in a removable encapsulant.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the treatment of petroleum or the like
IPC: C10G7/00
Filed: 1919-11-18
Abstract: 163,363. Illing, V. C., and Kelly, J. Nov. 18, 1919. Hydrocarbons, distilling; hydrocarbons, cracking; separate heater and evaporator apparatus.-In distilling petroleum, oils, distillates and tars, the oil is forced by a pump through preheating tubes P in the condensers N and through a tube A heated by an electric coil and is admitted through a valve C into an evaporator D heated by a surrounding electric coil or by other means. The liquid is distributed by funnels H onto a series of inclined plates E. The vapours are withdrawn by a pump which maintains a reduced pressure in the evaporator, through a series of condensers N maintained at different temperatures by the pipes P through which the oil-supply flows in series. The residual liquid from the evaporator D passes to a vessel L from which it is forced through a similar heater R and evaporator S in which it is treated with air to yield asphalt, as described in Specification 163,656. Vapours evolved in the evaporator S are withdrawn through a series of condensers X cooled by passage of crude oil through tubes contained within them. Steam may be admitted to the evaporator through a valve M. Temperature-regulators B, K are fitted to the heater A and evaporator D. In a modified apparatus, the heaters and evaporators are heated by gas or oil fuel burners, the residue from the first evaporator is passed through the cooling- coils of the condensers connected to the asphalt chamber, and is passed through an intermediate heater and evaporator before being treated to form asphalt. Cracking of the oils may be obtained by heating them above 400‹ C. Specifications 1706/82, 12181/98, 27615/12, 16713/14, 117,372, 127,700 and 145,894 are referred to.

Abstract: 658,782. Machinery guards. PLATT BROS. & CO., Ltd., and BASSINDALE, I. B. Nov. 4, 1948, No. 28627. [Class 80(iv)] The guards 10, Fig. 1, for each head of a combing machine are inter-connected with the starting rod 20 of the machine by means of quadrants 13 on each of the guards 10 co-operating with locking quadrants 15 actuated by the sliding movement of the rod 20 so that the machine cannot be started until all the guards are closed and the guards cannot be opened whilst the machine is in operation. A further time delay device is also provided so that after the rod 20 has been operated through a certain movement to stop the machine its further movement to release the locking quadrants 15 is delayed to allow the moving parts of the machine to come to rest. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3 this time delay device comprises a dashpot 26 the piston 28 of which is raised to load a spring 31 by a came plate 22 on the rod 20 'engaging a lever 30 connected to the piston rod 29 when the rod 20 is moved to the right to operate the machine motor switch to start the machine. On movement of the rod 20 to the left the motor switch is opened by the initial movement but a collar 24 on the rod then comes up against the lever 30 so that the quadrants 15 still hold the guards 10 closed. The lever 30 then gradually falls under the action of the spring 31 on the dashpot piston 28 until the collar 24 is released to allow the further operation of the rod 20 to unlock the guard quadrants 13.

Title: Improvements in or relating to methods for the production of rubber threads or strands
IPC: B29C41/14
Filed: 1933-10-19
Abstract: 409,214. Producing rubber thread from aqueous dispersions by dipping processes. McKAY, R. F., Fort Dunlop, Birmingham.-(International Latex Processes, Ltd.; 10, Lefebvre Street, St. Peter's Port, Guernsey.) Oct. 19, 1933, No. 28907. [Classes 70 and 87 (ii).] A method for the production of rubber thread from aqueous dispersions of rubber comprises separating a coagulated deposit of rubber produced direct from the dispersion into continuous thread by forming the coagulated deposit on a backing surface or former provided with a continuous groove having comparatively sharp edges between the convolutions thereof. The rubber may be deposited on the former by spraying, dipping, electrodeposition or other methods. As shown, apparatus for carrying out the method comprises a hollow cylindrical drum 10 having a continuous helical groove 11<a>, 11<b> on its outer and inner surfaces and sharp webs 12<a>, 12b between. This drum is suspended in a tank of latex by means of a hanger 15 having arms engaging in holes 16 in the end of the drum. There are holes 16 in the other end also. The drum is heated and dipped one or more times, being reversed and dried, with its deposit, between each dipping. After the last dipping it is dried and vulcanized. The deposit shrinks taut into the grooves, and in the case of light thread may be peeled easily off the drum, tearing apart at the sharp edge. With heavier thread, the drum is passed between two rollers, the lower roller being urged upward by treadle mechanism ; the pressure thus exerted on the deposit causes it to be cut at the sharp edges. For removing the thread the drum may be placed on a rotating chuck 21, the thread being wound onto reels 22, 23, the thread from the inner drum surface being guided through a loop 24. Specification 404,219 is referred to.
