Title: Improvements in or relating to siloxanes
IPC: C07F7/08
Filed: 1962-07-10
Abstract: Linear siloxanes are made by reacting a hexaorganocyclotrisiloxane free from active hydrogen with a hydroxylated compound selected from water, hydrocarbon alcohols containing not more than 8 C atoms, and organosilicon compounds of the formulae R(SiR2O)nH and HO(SiR2O)nH, in which each R is an organic radical free from active hydrogen and n is a positive integer, in contact with a basic amino compound having a basic dissociation constant in dilute solution in water of from 10-7 to 10-1 at 25 DEG C.  The Si-bonded organic radicals may be any hydrocarbon (saturated or unsaturated) or hydrocarbon ether radical with or without halogen substituents. The alcohols used can be primary, secondary and tertiary alcohols containing one, two or more -OH groups, and the amino compound serving as catalyst (but not as a rearrangement catalyst) can be ammonia or a primary, secondary or tertiary amine, including amino-organosilicon compounds as disclosed in Specifications 684,296 and 716,536; numerous examples of alcohols and amines are given.  The stable products are isolated by removing the catalyst, e.g. by heating and/or evacuation.  In a typical Example (1) hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane, n-butanol and di-n-hexylamine were shaken together at room temperature to yield, after stripping at 120 DEG C. under reduced pressure, C4H9O[Si(CH3)2O]9H.

In one embodiment, Figs. 1, 3, 4 and 5, each belt 2 passes around a drive roller 3 and guide rollers 4, 5, all of the rollers being formed with grooves and projections to co-operate with those of the belts 2. Feeler levers 9 are positioned at each edge of the fabric and are movable under the action of a spring or gravity. When a selvage of the fabric moves inwards and tends to retract from between the belt 2 and the member 8, the respective lever 9 is moved inwards to turn a pivot 29, Fig. 5, which moves an apertured lever 28 to bring an aperture 32 thereof into register with holes of air supply tubes 25, 27 to close an air valve 24. This causes compressed air to be supplied to a nozzle 22, Fig. 4, and act on a diaphragm 19 carrying a push rod 20 which, against the action of a spring 23, pushes the member 8 towards the belt 2 to grip and positively uncurl the fabric selvage. If the selvage is displaced outward to move in between the belt 2 and the member 8 to excess, the selvage pushes the lever 9 outwardly to bring the aperture 32 out of register with the holes of the tubes 25, 27 to close the valve 24 and allow the spring 23 to move the member 8 away from the belt 2 to free the fabric. In another embodiment, Figs. 7 and 8, the push member 80 comprises an endless belt 82 formed with projections and grooves 81 and which is driven by a torque motor 87 driving a roller 83 independently of the belt 2 so that both faces of the fabric N are subjected to spreading and selvage uncurling. Guide rollers 84, 85 for the belt 82 are supported by a link 88 coupled to a link mechanism 89 pivoted at 90 and which mechanism is connected to the push rod 20 operable similarly to that of the first embodiment. In modifications, the feeler lever 9 is replaced by a photoelectric device, the belt 2 and the push member are formed by circular-section belts, Fig. 9, (not shown), or the hold member only may be constituted by circular-section belts, Fig. 10 (not shown).
