Title: Improvements relating to devices for straightening the weft of woven fabrics
IPC: D06H3/12
Filed: 1947-04-01
Abstract: 633,104. Automatic control systems. JOHNSON & JOHNSON (GT. BRITAIN), Ltd. April 1, 1947, No. 8883. Convention date, April 3, 1946. [Class 38 (iv)] In a device for straightening the weft of woven fabrics, the fabric is illuminated by rays of light and the position of the weft threads with respect to the warp threads is controlled in response to the differential reflection of light by the weft threads. A continuous strip of fabric 20 (Fig. 5) has a raised portion between rollers 30 illuminated by sources of light 32. If the weft threads are perpendicular to the warp threads, equal amounts of light are reflected to a pair of photo-electric cells 40, 42 through lenses 36 and 38, but if the weft threads are not perpendicular to the warp threads, different amounts of light are reflected to either side (Figs. 1 and 3, not shown). The outputs from the photo-electric cells are applied to a normally-balanced bridge to control a reversible motor 50 which operates a canting roll 26 in such a manner as to maintain the weft threads perpendicular to the warp threads. In a modification for correcting " bow " (Fig. 7), four photo-electric cells, A, B, C, D, focused respectively on patches a, b, c, d, are such that if there is no " bow " the amounts of light reflected to A and D from a source 62 are the same as those reflected to B and C, but when " bow " occurs these amounts differ, unbalancing a bridge controlling a reversible motor 64, to operate a shaft 66 in a sense to correct the " bow."

Title: An improved process for uniting wood and other surfaces
IPC: C09J189/00
Filed: 1930-03-25
Abstract: Plies, one of which is wood, are united by applying to one of the surfaces an adhesive in discrete particle form, i.e. non-dispersed, developing adhesion by applying pressure with or without heat in the presence of moisture sufficient to moisten the particles and controlling the extent of penetration of the adhesive into the plies. The adhesive may be a proteinous material in ground or finely divided condition, for example an isolated protein such as casein or gluten or an oleaginous seed flour such as ground soya bean, peanut, castor, hemp, cottonseed and linseed, and may be dry, moistened or suspended in water. Additional water may be applied to the surface before, during or after the application of the adhesive.  Pressures from 40 to 300 pounds per square inch and temperatures up to 365 DEG  F. may be employed.  The penetration of the adhesive is controlled by incorporating therewith penetration-promoting agents such as caustic soda, a salt of a weak acid and strong base, for example sodium phosphates, or an alkali metal salt together with an alkaline-earth hydroxide such as lime, or lime alone, with or without ammonia or phenol.  Alternately, insolubilizing agents such as compounds of the alkaline-earth group, for example calcium salts, or paraformaldehyde, formaldehyde, hexamethylene-tetramine, bichromates, chromates, alums for example chrome alum, tannic or gallic acid, sulphur compounds for example carbon disulphide with or without pulverized charcoal as absorbent, and copper salts, for example copper chloride may be employed.  Fungicides, bactericides, and insecticides such as phenols, creosote, creosote oils, cresylic acid, cresylates, naphthols, naphthalene, camphor and oil of cedar and also fire-proofing agents such as ammonium phosphate and borax may be added.  Specification 356,138 is referred to.
