Title: Improvements in and applicable to cap spinning or twisting machines
IPC: D01H1/06
Filed: 1930-05-06
Abstract: 353,116. Cap spinning-spindle apparatus. BERLIN-KARLSRUHER INDUSTRIEWERKE AKT.-GES., Wittenau, Berlin. May 6, 1930, No. 13946. Convention date, Feb. 3. [Class 120 (ii).] A cap spinning or twisting machine is characterized by the provision of a mass, functioning as a flywheel, on the cap. A sleeve 2, rotatably mounted on the spindle 1, carries the cap 3 on which is arranged a flywheel mass 8 to prevent vibration. The cap is supported at its lower edge 4 by a capsupporting body 5 comprising a collarless disc, rotatable on a ball bearing about a horizontal axle 6 which is connected to a bar 7 which is capable of vertical movement. The circumference of the collarless disc is of elastic material, e.g. rubber, and is shaped to make a point contact with the lower edge of the cap. A brake ring 9 is removably arranged in a frame 11 secured to the bar 7 and is arranged to be vertically adjustable by means of a set-screw. If the cap is made of aluminium an iron ring 12 may be fitted to keep the lower cap edge from contacting with the thread.

Patent GB-788278-A (GB)
Title: Process for the manufacture of ª-phenylglycerol ethers
Filed: 1956-05-08
Abstract: a -phenylglycerol ethers are manufactured by reacting phenates with 1 chloro-2-3 propanediol at elevated temperatures, the reaction components acting on each other in a heterogenous phase. Suitable phenates are alkali or alkaline earth metal salts of phenols or of their mono, di, tri, tetra and pentasubstitution products such as phenol, chlorphenols, chlorcresols and cresols. Suitable non-dissolving organic liquids wherein the starting components can be dispersed are aromatic, aliphatic and cycloaliphatic hydrocarbons, e.g. benzene, toluene, white spirit fractions, cyclohexane and decahydronaphthalene.  The phenate is suspended in the boiling organic liquid and 1-chlor-2-3 propanediol is introduced into the mixture dropwise.  The reaction is continued for a short time after all the 1-chloro-2-3-propanediol has been added.  The organic liquid is then distilled off and the a -phenylglycerol ether obtained by distilling in vacuo or under pressure.  Alternatively, in one of the examples, the alpha-phenylglycerol ether may be crystallized out, after removing the salt formed, in the reaction, by filtration of the hot solution.  Examples are given for the preparation of alpha phenylglycerol ether from sodium phenate produced from phenol and sodium hydroxide, alpha-(o-cresyl) glycerol ether from sodium o-cresolate, o-chloro o-cresylglycerol ether from sodium o-chloro-o-cresolate, and alpha-pentachloroglycerol ether from sodium pentachloro-phenate.

Title: Quinacridone compositions for use as pigments
IPC: C09B48/00
Filed: 1961-04-20
Abstract: 965,450. Solid solutions of quinacridones, isoquinacridones and quinacridone quinones. E.I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO. April 20, 1961 [April 25, 1960], No. 14361/61. Heading C4P. The invention comprises solid solutions comprising combinations of at least two compounds selected from those of the formulµ wherein the X substituents are the same in any single compound and are fluorine, chlorine, bromine, alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or alkoxy of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and m and n are 0, 1 or 2, providing that at least one of the compounds has the formula II or III. The invention also comprises mixtures of the solid solutions with one or more of the compounds contained in the solid solutions. The solid solutions and mixtures are made by salt-milling of the components or by suspending the components in an organic solvent in which they are slightly soluble, for example at an elevated temperature, and recovering the solid solution therefrom. Solvents specified are dimethylformamide, dimethylacetamide, tetramethylene sulphone, dimethyl sulphoxide, ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, glycerine, aniline, pyridine, quinoline, N: N-dimethylaniline, ethanolamine and ethylenediamine. Before exposure to the solvent the mixture of components may be saltmilled or acid-pasted with sulphuric acid. Alternatively the components may be milled in the presence of the solvent. The salt-milling may be effected with sodium chloride or aluminium sulphate. The solid solutions are used as pigments. Quinacridone-quinone is made by reacting three mols. of benzoquinone with 2 mols. of anthranilic acid and cyclizing the product in hot sulphuric acid. Isoquinacridone is made by condensing 2 mols. of formanilide with 1 mol. of dimethyl 4: 6-dibromoisophthalate, hydrolysing the product to obtain 4: 6-dianilino-isophthalic acid and cyclizing the latter in polyphosphoric acid. Specifications 828,051, 828,052 and 828,053 are referred to.

Abstract: 703,250. Overhead travelling cranes. KWIKFORM, Ltd. June 11, 1951 [June 9, 1950], No. 14399/50. Class 78 (4) [Also in Group X] A prefabricated unit for building up a staith or the gantry of an overhead crane, comprises a rectangular tubular metal frame 10, Fig. 2, with the horizontal members 11, 12 projecting similarly at each end and a diagonal bracing member 14, the projecting ends being adapted to be secured by clamps 15 to and in alignment with the ends of further similar units and a clamping device 17, e.g. as described in Specification 642,386, [Group X], being permanently secured in each corner of the frame for connecting parallel sets of units by means of ledger tubes. The clamps 15 which are formed as described in Specification 703,251, [Group XXVIII], and the clamps 17 are such as to leave the upper and lower surfaces respectively of the connected members 11, 12 flush and unobstructed so that the arrangement permits of wheeled carriages, e.g. of a crane, to pass freely along the upper members 11 and of the assembled structure being launched across a space by passing over rollers or grooved wheels which engage the lower members 12. Alternatively the ledger tube clamping device may be formed as described in Specification 698,087, [Group X]. Two similarly connected sets of units may form a box girder serving as a gantry, Fig. 1, for supporting the movable carriage of a crane running on the upper members 11 and the box girder may in turn be supported by intervening wheels or rollers upon a pair of further box girders extending at right angles thereto so that the gantry carrying the crane is displaceable in a direction at right angles to its length. Specification 642,367, [Group X], is referred to in the Provisional Specification.

Abstract: 1,167,271. Hinge. BLOXWICH LOCK & STAMPING CO. Ltd. 20 March, 1968 [30 March, 1967], No. 14434/67. Heading E2F. A hinge arm 10, adapted to carry a member, e.g. a boot lid, angularly movable between open and closed positions, is pivoted at one end in a bracket or housing 12 adapted to be secured to a stationary part e.g. at the forward end of a boot opening, and a point on the arm spaced from the pivot pin 11 is pivotally connected by a link 23 to one arm 19 of a bell-crank lever which is pivotally mounted in the bracket and is loaded by one or more tension springs, e.g. 29 and 31, connected between the second arm 21 of the lever and a stationary anchorage 32 in the bracket. The disposition of the bell-crank lever, link, and spring or springs is such that when the member is in the closed position (as shown in dotted lines in Figure 1), the link and the first arm 19 of the bell-crank lever are substantially at right angles to each other, and the second arm 21 extends from the lever pivot 22 towards the pivot pin 11 of the hinge arm, and there is a maximum extension of the spring 'or springs 29 and 31, and as the member moves towards the open position (as shown in full lines in Figure 1), the first arm 19 and the link of the bell-crank lever come substantially into alignment and the second arm 21 swings round away from the pivot pin 11 of the hinge arm and towards the anchored end of the spring or springs so that the spring- loading is reduced In all positions, however, the turning moment exerted by the springs on the hinge arm through the bell-crank lever and link is sufficient to balance the opposing moment exerted by the weight of the bonnet or lid. A stop for the bonnet or lid in the fully open position may be formed by engagement of part of the bell crank lever with the pivot pin 11 as shown at 37.

Materials suitable for the matrix are copper, silver, aluminium, indium, and cadmium. The methods described for making the composite material are described and claimed in the parent Specification. Material for the end windings of a magnet (where there is an appreciable field component transverse to the plane of the strip) may be made so that the planes of the constituent foils lie at an angle to the plane of the final strip. A material which may be subjected to many field orientations is made so that its component materials lie in whirls, corrugations or ripples in the product.
