Title: Suspension system for motor cars and vehicles of all kinds
IPC: B60G11/14
Filed: 1928-12-17
Abstract: 328,033. Horstmann, S. A., and Horstmann, Ltd. Dec. 17, 1928. Springs, arrangement of.-In vehicle suspension - systems in which the resistance of the spring system increases at a greater rate than the deflection, an elastic tension or compression element cooperates with a pivoted lever, the parts being so arranged and proportioned that, as the load increases, the perpendicular from the pivot of the lever on to the line of action of the spring increases, while further, the product of the load and the ratio of a small vertical deflection to the corresponding small change of load remains substantially constant. In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, an elastic, tension member 2 is pivoted at one end to the frame 1 and at the other end to the lever 4 which is also pivoted to the frame and is provided with an additional arm 5 to the end of which the axle of the wheel 6 is secured. In a modification, shown in Fig. 4, an elastic compression element 9 is pivoted to the vehicle frame at one end to a lever 4 at the other end, the two being both pivoted directly to the axle 7. Several modified arrangements of the elastic element and the lever are shown in the drawing. Frictional vibration-dampers may be combined with the springs or with the pivots.

Title: Improvements in or connected with paint brushes and the like
IPC: A46B15/00
Filed: 1955-12-29
Abstract: 804,563. Brushes. SPA BRUSHES Ltd., and WILCOCK, E. A. Dec. 11, 1956 [Dec. 29, 1955], No. 37214/55. Class 19. In a method of manufacturing paint and like brushes there is located between the bristles 2 as said bristles are inserted in a ferrule 1 a wedge or wedges 3 which are removed after the roots of the bristles have been secured together and to the ferrule by a suitable cement poured into the ferrule in a sufficient quantity to form a pad 4 on said roots. The removal of the wedge or wedges when the cement has set leaves a space inside the brush that enables the bristles to swell inwards instead of outwards. The wedge or wedges may be set 1/16 inch or more up from the roots of the bristles so that when the brush is finished cement fills part of the gap or gaps formed by the wedge or wedges, which can have open ended slots in one edge for allowing pins 6 to be passed through the brush before removal of the wedge or wedges. The amount of cement used to form the pad 4 may be reduced by locating a filler block of material at the centre of the space to be occupied by the pad.

Title: Improvements in or relating to liquid fuel burners
Inventor: SHERLOCK JOHN EDWARD
IPC: F23D5/00
Filed: 1954-12-29
Abstract: 785,374. Open tray liquid fuel burners. BRITISH THERMOSTAT CO. Ltd. Dec. 23, 1955 [Dec. 29, 1954], No. 37573/54. Class 75(1) In a liquid fuel burner having a vaporizing trough and a pilot or low fire burner an outwardly and upwardly inclined burner pan formed as a peripheral extension of the vaporizing trough serves to heat the trough by conduction, while the pilot burner shields the central portion of the burner pan from the direct radiation of the main burner flame so that under intermediate or high-fire conditions the vaporizing trough temperature is maintained by conduction at a value sufficient only to allow a limited amount of vaporization to take place. Oil is metered through a pipe 1 to a vaporizing trough 2 formed in a dished burner pan 6 and surrounding a sleeve 3 through which primary air flows and is deflected by a burner cone 4 through a perforated member 5. The holes in which are not directly above the trough 2. During pilot or low burning the surface of the pan 6 immediately below the member 5 is heated by radiation from the mixture that burns at the holes in the member 5 and the trough 2 is heated partly by radiation and partly by conduction from the pan 6. Under high or intermediate fire conditions the oil flow to the trough 2 is increased and the combustion is transferred beyond the member 5 into the larger space beyond the burner cone 4. The primary air through the perforations in the member 5 will pass with the vapour from the trough 2 to the larger chamber bounded by a wall 7 provided with holes 8 through which additional primary air is supplied. During high-fire conditions, holes or slots 10 in the wall 7 supply secondary air to the flame which burns partly above and partly below a deflector plate 9. Specification 656,707 is referred to in the Provisional Specification.

Title: Production of lactones and keto acids
Inventor: HAYDEN PERCY
IPC: C07D315/00
Filed: 1964-09-17
Abstract: Keto acids and/or unsaturated lactones are prepared by reacting ethylene or propylene, at a partial pressure of at least 100 atmospheres, with carbon monoxide in the presence of a catalyst comprising a palladium salt of a strong acid in solution in a liquid phase, in the substantial absence of free acid or base. The preferred palladium salts are palladous chloride, bromide or iodide.  The preferred solvents are neutral ones, e.g. nitromethane, acetonitrile or propionitrile.  Water is preferably absent from the reaction medium, though if keto acids are the desired product, a minor proportion of water of, at most, ten moles per gram atom of palladium should be present.  Preferably the palladium is present in concentration from 0.1 to 1 gram atom per litre of liquid medium. The preferred temperature range is from 80 DEG  to 200 DEG  C.  The molar ratio of ethylene or propylene to carbon monoxide is preferably from 10:1 to 0.1:1.  Examples describe the preparation of a ,b , b ,g  and g ,d -homoangelica lactones, 4-keto hexanoic acid and a mixture of unsaturated lactams of formula CH12O2.
