Title: Method of and apparatus for use in the drying of wool or other textile or fibrous material
IPC: F26B17/00
Filed: 1932-09-09
Abstract: 406,065. Drying materials in long lengths. CUNLIFFE, S. G., The Hermitage, Llangollen, Denbighshire. Sept. 9, 1932, No. 25129. [Class 34 (i).] A layer of wool or other textile or fibrous material is treated with drying air while being conveyed upon spaced and projecting peripheral discs or upstanding rings situated on rollers or cylinders. The discs or rings break joint upon contiguous cylinders, and are so arranged that regular, successive and closely-pitched circumferential or segmental channels succeed each other laterally upon the cylinders, the drying air passing around these channels and up through the layer of material. The rollers may be arranged in a semi-circle, but in the form illustrated there are three tiers of rollers, the material being fed to and removed from the drying chamber by brattices, 1 and 2 respectively. The rollers may be made of aluminium and consist of sectional rings, which may be perforated with disc-like portions a<1> and bored lugs a<3>, the end rings having end walls a<4> and bosses a<5> to be carried upon a square shaft c. The rings are clamped together by bolts b passing through the lugs a<3>. The disc portions a<1> may be plain, scalloped, serrated, or fitted with fibre strips, and they break joint with the corresponding discs on the adjacent rollers, so as to form air channels a<6>. The cylinders are all driven, at variable speed, through gearing including a vertical shaft 10. The air supplied by a fan 3 may be heated in the base of the chamber, and passes up through the layers of wool via the circumferential passages between the rollers. It may escape at the openings 5 and 15, or some of it may pass through the passage 4 back to the fan 3.

Abstract: 6-Amino-2-hydroxynaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid is prepared by heating 6-bromo-2-hydroxynapthalene-3-carboxylic acid with ammonia, preferably in the presence of copper or a copper salt and under raised pressure.  It is stated that substituted ammonias such as alkylamines do not react in the same manner as ammonia. In examples: (1) 6-bromo-2-hydroxynaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid, caustic soda, copper bronze, and aqueous ammonia are heated in an autoclave at 140 DEG  C. for 8 hours, cooled, the excess of ammonia removed, the copper sludge filtered, and the 6 - amino - 2 - hydroxynaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid precipitated in good yield by glacial acetic acid; (2) 6-bromo-2-hydroxynaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid, copper bronze, and 25 per cent ammonia are heated in an autoclave for 25 hours at 50 DEG  C., carbon dioxide added and the 6-amino-2-hydroxynaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid precipitated with acetic acid.  The product may be purified by means of the hydrochloride.  Instead of copper bronze, the copper salt of the starting material may be used; (3) 6-bromo-2-hydroxynaphthalene-3-carboxylic acid is heated with 25 per cent aqueous ammonia in a sealed tube at 150 DEG  C. for 30 hours. The product is separated with acetic acid as before. Specifications 326,971 and 381,947, [Class 2 (iii)], are referred to.

Abstract: 518,972. Treating textiles with liquids. AKT.-GES. CILANDER. Sept. 5, 1938, No. 25968. Convention date, Aug. 2.[ Class 15 (ii)] A mixed fabric made of animal and vegetable fibres is provided with a pattern by partial removal of the animal fibres by means of a print destroying such fibres, and is then subjected to treatment with a shrinking agent so as to produce a relief pattern having a crepe effect. The fabric may be dried after being shrunk and freed from residues of shrinking agent and it may then be treated with parchmentizing substances so as to accentuate the pattern and stiffen and render transparent the ground texture. Caustic soda solution may. be used for destroying the animal fibres. The solution may contain gum as a thickener. Shrinking may be effected in a more dilute caustic soda solution, or in a solution of sulphuric acid. Parchmentizing may be effected with sulphuric acid if the previous shrinking is effected with alkali, or it may be effected with soda lye if sulphuric acid solution is used for shrinking. In examples, cotton and wool and cotton and silk mixed fabrics are treated. The pattern effect may be increased by dyeing.

Title: Improvements in and relating to pocket talking machines
IPC: G11B25/04
Filed: 1924-11-01
Abstract: 245,233. Vadasz, N., and Vadasz, S., (known as Vadasz, S. E.). Nov. 1, 1924. Addition to 213,546. Cases; sound-boxes, mounting; external horns or the like, arranging and supporting. - In a pocket soundreproducing machine made in the form of a watch, as set forth in the parent Specification, the sound-box is rigidly connected to an arm pivoted upon another arm which, when the machine is to be used, can be pulled out to extend beyond the casing, but when inoperative lies within or closely against the casing. This arrangement in some cases enables larger records to be used on the machine. Figs. 1 and 2 show a construction in which the machine, when not in use, is enclosed in a two-part casing or shell 1, 2 having a slot through which a hollow winding- handle 31 protrudes. A brake-rod 32 passes through the handle. The sound-box m is carried by an arm 17, which is mounted at 23 for rotation about vertical and horizontal axes on a second arm 24<a> which is pivoted on the casing 15, and lies in a slot therein when the machine is not in use. When required, the arm 24a is swung out from the casing as shown in Fig. 2. The outer shell may be attached to the sound-box in either of two positions (shown in full and dotted lines) to form a resonance chamber. When the apparatus is to be packed up, the turntable 5, removed from its spindle, and a number of records can be placed between the outer shell and the sound-box, as shown in Fig. 1. Instead of being pivotally mounted, the arm 24a may be adapted to slide in the casing. In a modification, Fig, 4, a long arm 61 is pivoted at 62 on the casing, against which the arm lies closely when not in use. The outer end of the arm 61 has a socket 65 which forms a pivot bearing for an arm 66; this is adapted to form an extension of the rigid sound-box support 17, being provided at its end 70 with a socket in which the pivot stud 23 on the sound-box arm 17 can be clamped. Thus, when the parts are assembled as shown, the sound-box swings about the pivot 67, enabling a large record 64 to be used. A further modification consists in dispensing with the arm 61, and pivoting the arm 66 in a socket in the lid of the casing, the lid being in this instance hinged to the body so that it can be turned back through two right-angles.
