Title: Heat-sealable devices for marking articles
Inventor: MEYER PETER
IPC: C09J7/35
Filed: 1967-03-08
Abstract: 1,215,007. Coated article. POLYMARK Ltd. 1 March, 1968 [8 March, 1967], No. 10949/ 67. Heading B2E. A marking element permanently attachable by heat and pressure to a surface comprises a flexible support incorporating a film-forming resin system containing alkylol or alkoxy alkyl groups and acid or acid-yielding groups, the resin system being capable of being cured by the application of heat and under acid conditions to an insoluble cross-linked condition, and an information-bearing marking printed on the support. The ink used for producing the marking preferably employs a medium consisting of a similar resin to that applied to the support. The support can be formed of paper, fabric e.g. woven cotton fabric, or plastics foil. The film-forming resin may consist of a solubilised linear polyamide e.g. a nylon-type polyamide which has been converted into soluble form containing alkoxy alkyl groups by treatment with an aldehyde such as formaldehyde, or alcohol-soluble copolyamides in conjunction with a cross-linking agent containing alkoxy alkyl groups e.g. a formaldehyde resin containing alkoxy alkyl groups; or an acrylic resin which may include a reactive comonomer, such as acrylic acid, acrylamide or hydroxyethyl acrylates, with the further addition of a cross-linking agent containing alkoxy alkyl groups, or a self crosslinking comonomer such as N-alkoxy alkyl acrylamide. The film-forming resin may be applied in a solution or dispersion as a coating or an impregnating agent. The printing may be effected by letter-press, offset litho, flexographic or gravure or screen printing. After printing, a continuous coating of the resin mixture may be applied to form a protective surface on the marking element. Various solutions, dispersions and inks are given in the examples. The marking elements may be textured while on the article by a presser member.

Abstract: 513,852. Kinematograph cameras. SOC. F.A.C.I.N., SOC. AR.L FABRICATION D'APPARIELS DE CINEMATOGRAPHIE, and WEISSBRODT, J. E. April 11, 1938, No. 11024. [Class 97 (i)] An auxiliary optical system, movable automatically into operation after normal exposures to produce an image of a clock or other instrument is carried by a member which moves a lever into engagement with a screw driven by the camera motor, and thereby delays the stopping of the motor. As shown, a movable auxiliary mirror j reflects to a film gate f an image of an instrument in a casing d produced by a lens i and mirror h. The mirror j is carried by a bracket on a rod k axially movable by a spring l towards an adjustable stop l<1>. When exposure is to be commenced, the release turns a spindle n<1> carrying a lever n which, through engagement with a plate p, ;moves the rod k and mirror j downwards to permit normal exposure through a lens b; a spring-pressed pawl x holds the plate in lowered position. A pin z on the rod k, engaging a slot in a bell-crank lever q, then turns the lever so that its end q<1> disengages a flank s<1> on a screw thread s and frees the camera motor, the screw s being driven through gearing t, t<1> by the motor. When the lever q is turned its spindle r is moved to the right. Fig. 2, by a spring v. Operation of the release to terminate :exposure permits the spring l to raise the rod k and mirror j to the positions shown, and also turns the lever q to engage in the right-hand end of the screw thread s. The motor continues to run until the end q<1> of the lever has travelled along the screw thread to engage the flank s'. The screw thread may be long enough to permit the exposure of one or more complete images of the instrument before the motor is stopped. A modification is described in which the movable mirror is carried by a horizontally sliding plate, and the bell-crank lever is replaced by a single-arm lever having a nose engaging the screw thread; the movable mirror may, alternatively, be carried by a pivoted plate.

Patent GB-457637-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in shellac substitutes
IPC: C09F1/00
Filed: 1936-04-21
Abstract: A process for treating a copal gum, such as Manila, Congo, Pontianac or Benguela copal, comprises the application of sufficiently increased pressure to the gum to render the same plastic, and the mastication of the gum while in the plastic state.  The gum is thus rendered more completely soluble in ethyl alcohol, and may then be used as a shellac substitute, giving easily workable varnishes of low viscosity when dissolved in ethyl alcohol alone or in mixtures thereof with higher alcohols. Pressures of 50--150 lbs. per square inch are suitable, and, under these pressures, the mastication may be carried out at comparatively low temperatures, e.g. 90--120 DEG  F., water cooling being provided if necessary.  Mastication should continue for from 15 minutes to 2 hours or more, depending upon the hardness of the original copal, and if heavy mixer and kneading type machines are used, the resulting material should preferably be given a subsequent homogenizing treatment on closely spaced rollers. According to an example:--a light coloured Congo copal is masticated in a heavy mixer type machine for two hours at 120 DEG  F., under 90 lbs. per square inch pressure, with sufficient water cooling to absorb the interior frictional heat evolved during mastication.  The mass is then put through calender rolls for homogenizing, and dissolved in an equal amount of commercial ethyl alcohol at room or elevated temperature.  Specification 444,853 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in weighing balances
IPC: G01G7/06
Filed: 1941-09-09
Abstract: 544,630. Weighing-apparatus; electrostatic meters; condensers. LENKCHEVITCH, P. Sept. 9, 1941. No. 11506. [Class 143] [Also in Group XXXVI] A weighing balance (which may also be used for measuring voltage) uses the attraction or repulsion between electrically charged conductors to balance the weight. As shown, a balance beam A supporting at one end (not shown) the mass to be weighed, supports at the other end one or more condenser plates C<SP>1</SP> each co-operating with a second condenser plate C<SP>2</SP> mounted on a table B. The condenser plates C<SP>2</SP> are each formed in two portions slidable apart or towards each other by a micrometer screw E having two threads of opposite direction. The head D of the screw is graduated in terms of weight and is read against an adjustable vernier F. In ascertaining the weight of a mass, the plates C<SP>1</SP>, C<SP>2</SP> are charged with electricity from a suitable source Y the sections of the plates C<SP>2</SP> being apart and the beam resting against a stop G. The heads D are rotated to bring the sections of the plates C<SP>2</SP> nearer together thus increasing the attraction of the plates until the beam leaves the stop G. The graduations on the heads D then indicate the weight. A similar procedure is adopted when the plates are charged to repel one another, the plates C<SP>2</SP> however being situated above the plates C<SP>1</SP>. Guard rings may be arranged round the plates C<SP>1</SP>. Solid or liquid dielectric may be placed between the plates to increase the effects. In a modification, the distance between the plates C<SP>1</SP>, C<SP>2</SP> may be varied by means of a micrometer screw and the masses weighed by adjusting this distance. In a further modification, the mass is weighed by adjusting the voltage between the plates, the distance between the plates, and their effective areas being maintained constant. In measuring a voltage with the apparatus, the distance between the plates C<SP>1</SP>, C<SP>2</SP> iskept constant and the sections of the plate C<SP>2</SP> are initially moved apart. The voltage is applied and the head D (which is graduated in volts) is turned to bring the sections of the plate C<SP>2</SP> towards one another until the upper plate is attracted.
