Patent GB-614203-A (GB)
Abstract: 614,203. Knitting. HIRD, G. July 6, 1946, No. 20226. [Class 74(ii)] [Also in Group XIX] A counting device for a hand knitting needle comprises two coaxial drums 1, 2, one of which 1 is mounted on the needle 3 and the other 2 on an extension 1a of the first, the drums 1, 2 being held together by a clip 5. The peripheries of the drums are marked with numerals 0 to 9, a numeral on each drum being visible in the gap between the ends 9 of the clip 5. The clip 5 has flanges which engage in circumferential grooves 7 in the drums and its ends 9 are curled inwardly to engage axial grooves separating the numerals and thus to prevent relative movement between the drums when they are not being turned by hand. The clip 5 may have a circumferential slit extending round a part of its periphery so that one drum may be turned without loosening the portion of the clip on the other. In turning either drum, the other drum and its portion of the clip is held, and the free drum is turned by a knurled flange 4. Alternatively, the clip may be arranged to fit one drum more tightly than the other so that the former need be held by the flange 4 alone while the latter is turned.

Title: Pigmentation of concrete surfaces
IPC: C04B41/53
Filed: 1978-08-12
Abstract: A concrete mixture is cast and before complete hardening or drying out is brushed and hosed with water to expose the aggregate. Pigment is then applied to the surface, the concrete is then allowed to dry out and the surface is hosed with water to remove the pigment from the aggregate but leave the pigment in the mortar lattice. A further alternative is to produce a layer of concrete mix and then on top of this layer to pour a further concrete mix containing pigment. During drying the aggregate may be exposed by again brushing and hosing with water. A still further alternative is to apply pigment to the surface of a not completely dry concrete mixture and allowing the concrete to dry.
