Title: Improvements in stripping brushes for the flats of carding machines
Inventor: LEACH JAMES BRIAN
IPC: D01G15/78
Filed: 1965-11-04
Abstract: 1,080,409. Carding engines. FREDERICK COXSON & SONS Ltd. March 1, 1966 [Nov. 4, 1965], No. 46706/65. Heading D1N. A rotating stripping brush for cleaning carding flats comprises a body portion 10 with sections 12 of card clothing and between the sections softer bristles 15, the wires adjacent the beginning and end of the sections 12 being such that their points lie progressively nearer the axis of rotation of the brush in the direction towards the bristles. Thus, in operation, the leading wires A at the beginning of a section 12 moves progressively into the wires on the flat and then the wires B at the trailing ends of the section move out of the wires of the flat bringing the waste with them to be brushed off by the softer bristles 15. The and using wires of constant height or by using forming the surface of the body portion 10 effective changing height of the wires in the areas A and B may be produced either by wires of varying height. Bristles 15 are mounted on a holder 15n in a slot in body 10 their degree of protrusion being adjustable by a screw 16.

Title: Single lever gear shift control
IPC: F16H59/02
Filed: 1975-11-14
Abstract: 1514559 Change-speed control MASSEY-FERGUSON Inc 14 Nov 1975 [15 Nov 1974] 46993/75 Heading F2D A single selector lever 30 is connected to first and second shift levers 2, 12 by means which enables the lever 2 to be set to either of two positions on opposite sides of a neutral position and the lever 12 subsequently to be actuated whilst the lever 2 remains in its set position. The lever 12 may establish any of three forward ratios and the lever 2 a high or low range. To actuate the lever 2 the lever 30 is swung about a pivot 40 until it reaches a control plane 54, when a part 38 enters between spaced ears 82 projecting from a sleeve 35 so that rotary motion of the lever 30 about the common axis of a shaft 37 and sleeve 35 turns the sleeve and actuates the lever 2, in a plane normal to the plane of Fig. 1, through an arm 56 secured to the sleeve, and a link 60. Lost motion between the part 38 and the ears 82 is sufficient to allow the lever to be returned to the neutral plane 48, Fig. 3, without returning the sleeve 35, the position of which is indicated by a pointer 84 in a slot 86. When the lever 30 is brought to a position in alignment with a control plane 52 the part 38, which consists of spaced members flanking the shaft 37, engages an arm 80 so that rotary movement of the lever about the shaft axis actuates the lever 12 in a plane 9 normal to the plane of Fig. 1 through a U-shaped arm 64 fixed to the shaft 37 and having a pivotal connection 66 with a link 74 ball jointed at 18 to the lever 12. Movement of the lever 30 to the plane 50 displaces the shaft 37 axially through a pin 78 so that subsequent rotary movement of the lever 30 about the shaft axis causes movement of the lever 12 in a plane 11.

Title: Bath for the electro deposition of silver-antimony or silver-bismuth alloys of enhanced hardness
Inventor: SCHLEGEL HANS
IPC: C25D3/64
Filed: 1964-11-18
Abstract: Silver alloys with bismuth or antimony are formed electrolytically using a bath of the metal salts and an alklyolamine, e.g. triethanolamine, N-(n-butyl)diethanolamine, or N-(2,3, dihydroxypropyldiethanolamine. The bath contains AgCN, KCN, alkali, and e.g. Sb2O3.  The alkylolamine acts as complexing agent, and Sb or Bi readily dissolves in the bath containing also AgCN, either as metal from an anode of Sb or Bi, or added as oxide.

Abstract: 1,025,994. Photographic copying apparatus. GEVAERT PHOTO-PRODUCTEN N.V. Dec. 18, 1962 [Dec. 18,1961; March 26,1962], No.47808/62. Heading G2A. A copying apparatus comprises a developing tank with an opening for insertion and removal of sheets, a further opening above said opening with an adjacent pair of pressure rollers, and an overlying platform with sheet-holding means thereon, a roller being movable across said platform. The form shown comprises a lower part 1 and a removable upper part 3. The lower part contains a developing tank 2 with an opening 4 for inserting the sheet 5 to be developed. Above this is a platform 10, on which a dyestuff layer sheet 13 is laid. At the sheet insertion openings is disposed a fixed roller 9, and a movable roller 26 which can be brought into or out of contact with roller 9, by means of a handle 30. The ends of sheets 13 and 5 project out beyond the rollers, and when development is completed, roller 26 is brought into contact with roller 9, and the two sheets 13 and 5 pulled out quickly. As they are pressed between the rollers, the developed image on sheet 5 is transferred to the dyestuff layer sheet 13. In order to equalize the pressure, roller 9 is supported on a balancing mounting (Fig. 3, not shown), or a spring-loaded mounting (Fig. 8, not shown), so as to have a certain amount of play. The sheets are then laid, sheet 13 lowermost, on a platform 12 on the upper part of the apparatus, the free edge of sheet 13 entering into a slot 21 and being firmly held there by a press member 22 operated by a handle 23. Sheet 5 is then separated and removed, and a receptor sheet laid over sheet 13. A press roller 16 is mounted so as to roll along platform 12, guided by bars 15, and operated by handle 20. The receptor sheet is pressed against sheet 13 by traversing the roller 16 along them, and then separated from it. The receptor sheet is now ready for use as a master in the manufacture of prints by the spirit duplicating process of Specification 996,963. The developing tank can be emptied through an outlet tube 39, which is normally fixed in the position shown in Fig. 1, when its mouth is above the liquid level in the tank. To empty the tank, the fixing means is disengaged, and the tube pivoted downwards, so allowing the liquid to be drained off. In the modification of Fig. 6 (not shown) rollers 16 and 26 are replaced by a single roller which can perform both functions. The exposure station can be structurally incorporated into the apparatus, as in Figs. (not shown) 10 and 11.

The gas for ventilating the suit passes from pipe 29 to pump 26 and is distributed throughout the suit 1, from which it removes excess moisture, and is then withdrawn from suit 1, passed through liquid boiler heat exchanger 2 and then water separator 24, after which it is passed to pump 26. If there is a failure in 31, 32 or 26, the two-way valve 28 is opened such that oxygen passes through by-pass pipe 30 to the suit 1. Also connected to the breathing gas supply are demand pressurisation regulator 38 and audible warning device 41. The suit 1 is cooled by liquid circulating through circuit 5 which passes through the suit 1 and liquid boiler heat exchanger 2.
