Patent GB-704875-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in circuits comprising an electric discharge tube of the electron-beam type
IPC: H01J21/14
Filed: 1951-07-10
Abstract: 704,875. Electron-beam valves. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. July 10, 1951. [July 13,1950], No. 16333/51. Class 39(1) An electron-beam valve in which deflection of the beam by reason of its own space charge is used to enhance the mutual conductance comprises means, such as cathode 1, control grid 2 and screen 3, for producing a beam which passes near a deflecting electrode 13, at zero or fixed low potential, to two collecting electrodes 17, 18. It is stated that the low-intensity beam (shown dotted) falls entirely on collector 18, but that as the intensity increases the space charge causes the curvature of the beam to increase (full lines) so that it falls upon collector 17. Thus as the modulating signal on grid 2 increases the intensity of the beam the current to collector 17 increases in a two-fold way with a resulting increase in the effective mutual conductance. As shown, the electrodes 17, 18 are united, 17 being coated with secondary emissive material so that the output of secondaries is taken from central electrode 19-which may also be channelshaped; otherwise two separate electrodes may be used. Electrode 13 may be divided to allow the cathode system to be moved further from the centre. An alternative form is described in which the deflecting electrode is a plane parallel to two plane collector electrodes and the beam is fired obliquely between them, Fig. 3 (not shown). Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 681,274.

Title: Improvements in or relating to disc brakes for wheels and power transmissions
IPC: F16D65/12
Filed: 1954-06-03
Abstract: 777,124. Disc brakes. POVEY, W. A. June 3, 1955 [June 3, 1954], No. 16464/54. Class 103 (1). In a disc brake comprising substantially coaxial rotatable and non-rotatable brake discs, a brake disc 14 is mounted, for example, on the rotatable hub member 5 of a vehicle wheel and is adapted to be braked by two non-rotatable axially slidable brake discs 7 and 8 mounted on a plurality of spigot members 9 secured to the fixed brake housing 1 and provided with friction linings 17. The brake may be applied hydraulically by operating devices 21 provided at positions 180 degrees apart on the back plate 2. When hydraulic fluid is supplied from a source of pressure via ports 25 to each of the hydraulic operating devices 21, the piston 26 is forced to the left to frictionally engage non-rotatable disc 8 with the rotatable disc 14 and to force body 22 of the operating device 21 to the right to frictionally engage non-rotatable disc 7 with the rotatable disc 14 by means of connecting bolts 28. Alternative mechanical applying means - are shown at 50 (Figs. 1 and 3) such that when arms 53 are turned in a clockwise direction, shafts 41 will be gripped and turned slightly to cause engagement of cam faces 44, 42 to impart lateral movement to the non-rotatable discs 7, 8 to-bring their linings into friction contact with disc 14. Automatic adjustment means are provided as indicated at 31 (Figs. 1 and 4) such that when the wear of the friction lining occurs, the clearances 37 and the lateral movement of discs 7, 8 will become greater than the movement as preset by the distance between shoulder 35 of rod 32 and face 36 of disc 7 so that, when the brake is next applied fully, each rod 32 will be displaced through its self-locking washer 39 by an amount corresponding to the wear of the lining. Rotatable brake disc 14 is provided with a series of radially extending cooling passages 18 which communicate with axial passages 19, the open ends of which are covered by air scoops 20 extending over a 90 degrees sector of the disc on opposite sides of the disc. An alternative mechanical applying means is described in the Provisional Specification.

Title: Improvements in or relating to imparting durable to water finishes to fabrics
IPC: D06M15/423
Filed: 1951-07-12
Abstract: Durable finishes, e.g. crease-resistant and mechanical finishes, are obtained on fabrics of natural or regenerated cellulose by treating them with an aqueous solution of an acid-catalysable thermosetting formaldehyde-containing resinous material, the solution also containing at least 0.36 per cent by weight of hydrogen peroxide, and then drying and heating the treated fabric to insolubilize the resin, the amount of free formaldehyde and of hydrogen peroxide being such as to form acid in an amount sufficient to produce a pH on the cured fabric in the unwashed state of 3 to 6.8.  The free formaldehyde may be liberated from the resinous material when in solution, and if inadequate, an additional amount of formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde or formaldehyde-yielding substance may be added to the solution. In examples, cotton, linen and viscose rayon fabrics are impregnated with aqueous solutions containing, in addition to formaldehyde and hydrogen peroxide, the following resin-forming ingredients: dimethylol melamine, dimethyl trimethylol melamine, dimethylol urea, dimethylol ethylene urea, dicyandiamideformaldehyde resin, polyvinyl alcohol and potato starch, some solutions also containing sulphonated castor oil or s-di[1-(2-palmitamidoethyl)]urea monoacetate.  In some cases glazing, embossing or calendering effects are applied prior to the final heat treatment.

Abstract: 1,017,825. Sewing machines. STATESIDE MACHINERY CO. Ltd. and SPIEGEL A.H. July 25, 1962 [May 3,1962], No. 17059/62. Heading D1G. A sewing machine operating with a work clamp provided with a slot determining the line of stitching, comprises means for holding the presser foot raised against biasing means, starting means for releasing the holding means, means actuated in response to the lowering of the presser foot for starting the driving motor, and means for raising the presser foot at the end of a stitching operation for automatically switching off the driving motor and restoring the action of the holding means. A presser foot 2, having a stud 23 adapted to enter a slot in a work clamp 22, Fig. 3 not shown, is carried by a presser bar 3 biased downwardly by a spring 4. A lever 8 is connected at one end to bar 4 and at its other end by a link 7 to the armature 6 of a solenoid 51, energization of which thereby serves to lift the presser foot. Collars 12,13 on link 7 carry studs 14,15 adapted to actuate respective micro-switches MS1, MS2 when link 7 is raised and lowered. Solenoid S1 is energized via a main switch 18, Fig. 2 not shown, switch MS2, a press-button switch B and switch MS1. Actuation of switch B de-energizes solenoid S and link 7 rises, whereby switch MS2 first opens for permanently disconnecting solenoid S1 and switch MS1 then closes circuit through a solenoid S2 adapted to start the driving motor. At the end of the stitching operation the presser foot rides up a ramp 21 provided on the work clamp, whereby solenoid S2 is first de-energized to stop the motor and solenoid S1 is then energized to hold the presser foot raised. An indicator lamp 16 provides illumination in the vicinity of the needle. The upper plate of the work clamp is transparent. The machine may be stopped at any time by raising the presser foot manually.

Title: Method of making magnetic data storage devices
IPC: H01F10/00
Filed: 1961-05-16
Abstract: A magnetic coating of Ni/Co alloy is formed on an electrically non-conductive substrate by chemical precipitation from a solution containing nickel ions at a concentration of 0.2 to 0.62 g. per litre and cobalt ions at a concentration of 6 times this amount, and at a pH of 7.6 to 8.2.  The substrate may be glass, ceramic material, or preferably polyethylene terephthalate, which after cleaning with alkali and acid, is pre-coated with an adhesive and then coated with an "activating" metal layer which coacts with the Ni/Co solution to form the final Ni/Co alloy layer.  The "activating" metal layer may be copper formed by vapour deposition and treated with Rdcl2, or may be formed by p  impregnating the substrate with SnCl2 followed by PdCl2.  The Co/Ni plating solution contains 7.5 g. per litre of CoCl2 and 1.25 g. of NiCl2, with added ammonium chloride, sodium citrate and hypophosphite.  The solution is used at about 85 DEG C. and at pH about 8.
