Title: Improvements in or relating to spinning frames
IPC: D01H1/38
Filed: 1962-05-14
Abstract: 994,168. Ring-spinning apparatus. DERCO A. G. May 14,1962 [May 15,1961],No.18433/62. Heading D1D. In ring-spinning apparatus having drive means for lowering the ring rail for doffing which is electrically switched on and off in the upper and lower positions of the rail, the drive means includes an electromagnetic clutch the elements of which are operatively connected respectively to the drafting-means and to a pulley &c. connected by a cable &c. to the ring rail. In Fig. 2, the ring- rail is raised during the traverse by rods 15 resting on rollers carried by interconnected bell cranks 70<SP>1</SP>,68<SP>1</SP>biased to rotate clockwise about pivots 68 by adjustable weights 73<SP>1</SP>.A quadrant 67 on one of the bell-cranks is connected by a cable 45 to a pulley 46, Fig. 4, which is connected to the output side of a clutch 32 of which the input element is connected by gears 30, 31 to the continuously-driven drafting-mechanism. As the ring-rail rises during the build, the clutch parts being operated, the quadrant, moving clockwise, pulls off the cable and rotates the pulley against the bias of a spring 61 through about one revolution. When the ring-rail reaches its uppermost position, it closes a timing-switch 72 which stops the rail and establishes a circuit, which includes a normally-closed microswitch 80, to energize the clutch and connect the pulley to the drafting mechanism. The cable is thus re-wound to lower the ring-rail, the timing-switch remaining closed long enough for the rail to reach its lowest position, when it reopens and the clutch parts are separated. At this point, a spring-pressed plunger 53 snaps into a recess in a disc 50 on the pulley-shaft to lock the rail in the doffing-position, a shoulder 84 on the plunger depressing a plunger 82 to open the microswitch 80. After doffing, the buildermechanism is reset, and the plunger 53 manually withdrawn, restoring the microswitch to closed position and allowing the rail to rise to starting position.

Title: Improvements in or relating to bonded nonwoven fabric or gauze and process of makingsame
IPC: D04H1/64
Filed: 1963-05-10
Abstract: A non-woven fabric comprises an atactic (i.e. non-crystalline) polypropylene binding agent.  The fabric comprises either a bonded mat or web of fibres or two sets of parallel yarns, one set at right angles to the other, bonded together.  Specified fibres are cotton, rayon, cellulose acetate and triacetate, nylon, acrylic, polyester, glass, vinyl polymer and copolymer fibres or mixtures thereof and also cellulose fibres used for making paper, wood pulp fibres and fibres derived from waste paper.  The binder may be applied by (a) passing the fibrous web through a liquid binder bath and then through squeeze rolls to remove excess binder; (b) passing the web through a series of rolls which pick up the binder and transfer it to the web; (c) spraying the binder on to the web surface; or (d) applying the binder in a uniform pattern, resulting in definite bonded and unbonded portions.  The finished fabric preferably contains from 30% to 280% of atactic polypropylene, as based on the dry weight of the fibres.  The binder is applied to the web in the form of an organic solvent solution or an aqueous emulsion.  The initial pickup by the web of the solution or emulsion ranges from 4% to 500%, by weight, as based on the weight of the web.  Specified solvents are aromatic hydrocarbons, such as toluene, xylene, decahydronaphthalene and tetrahydronaphthalene; aliphatic hydrocarbons containing from 5 to 11 carbon atoms, such as pentane, hexane, and nonane; chlorinated hydrocarbons, such as methylene chloride, carbon tetrachloride, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene', and chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons such as chlorobenzene.  The resin solids content of the solution ranges from 1% to 50% by weight.  An emulsion may be applied by adding an emulsifying agent to an organic solvent solution of atactic polypropylene, the solvent being any of those specified above, adding water with vigorous agitation and removing the solvent by distillation.  A specified emulsifying agent is oleic acid and morpholine.  The resin solids content of the emulsion ranges from 2% to 65% by weight.  Defoamers, resins to impart wet strength and lubricants may be added to the binder.  The impregnated web may be dried at a temperature between room temperature and 350 DEG F.
