Patent GB-299291-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of artificial textile fibres
IPC: D01D5/20
Filed: 1928-04-03
Abstract: 299,291. Sever, W., and Speakman, J. B. April 3, 1928. Divided on 300,221. Grant of Patent revoked. Apparatus for making filaments.-Artificial textile fibres having wave or curl similar to that of natural fibres such as wool or cotton are made by spinning a fluid medium of any suitable kind into a liquid or gaseous coagulating medium while causing pulsations in the flow of the spinning medium and/or of the coagulating medium. The pulsations may be regular or irregular and may be set up by a plunger or diaphragm pump associated with the spinneret and/or the spinning tube. For example, as shown in Fig. 1, a spring- supported plunger 2 actuated by a cam 3 may be arranged in a flexible conduit 4 leading from a positive solution pump 1 to a spinneret. If the emission from the spinneret is in line with the flow of the coagulating medium, fibres such as are shown in Fig. 2, a, b, are produced, such fibres being capable of felting, but if the flow of the coagulating medium is not in line with the emission from the spinneret, fibres having both a varying diameter and a sinuous or spiral form, as shown in Fig. 3, will result. Specification 300,221 is referred to.

Title: Automatic lamp changer
IPC: H05B39/10
Filed: 1975-06-17
Abstract: 1504618 Automatic lamp changers VAPOR CORP 17 June 1975 [29 Oct 1974] 25835/75 Heading H2H An automatic lamp changer comprises a turret which carries a number of lamps for movement one by one into an operating position in which a unit 1 causes the lamp to flash, an actuator for operating the turret and an inoperative-lamp detecting circuit including an oscillator 5 and a time delay 7. The oscillator comprises a transistor and is provided with feedback by a winding 6 of a transformer 3. If the lamp is operative, the current in a winding 2 of the transformer causes saturation of the transformer which prevents operation of the oscillator. When the lamp fails, the oscillator supplies an output signal to the delay 7 which, after a predetermined time, causes energization of a solenoid in a lamp changer mechanism 8 to rotate the turret and bring the next lamp into the operative position. The salt lamp is connected in parallel with a capacitor to prevent continued rotation of the turret when the last lamp has been used. The lamp changer may be used on a navigational buoy or beacon.

Filed: 1945-10-04
Abstract: 602,759. Gear grinding. SOC. ANON. DES FORGES, USINES & FONDERIES DE GILLY. Oct. 4, 1945, No. 25903. Convention date, Aug. 20, 1942. [Class 60] A machine for truing gear teeth comprising a device for feeding the grinding-wheel with respect to the workpiece and for imparting a compensatory movement to the trimming device with respect to the grinding-wheel, is characterised in that a double slide, carrying the trimming device, and with a compensating device, slides on a rocking frame hinged to a fixed frame, the movement of said rocking frame being transmitted to said compensating device by a transmission carried by the rocking frame and connected, on the one hand, to the fixed frame and, on the other hand, by the intermediary of an extensible coupling to the slide carried by the rocking frame. A machine for grinding gear teeth includes a grinding-wheel 11 carried on a carriage D vertically slidable in a carriage C moved horizontally, to grind the whole length of the gear teeth in an axial direction, on a 'frame B by means of a crank and pivoted lever mechanism, Fig. 1 (not shown). The frame B is pivoted at 1 to a fixed frame A and is lifted by cam and lever mechanism 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 so that the grinding-wheel can be lifted clear of the work, which may then be indexed. This pivoting movement of the frame B is turned to a rotary movement by a rod 22 fixed at one end to the frame A and at the other end to a crank on a shaft 25 rotating in supports 26 fitted to the frame B and sliding in a keyed shaft 27 on the carriage C. This rotates a shaft 30 through bevel gears 29, which shaft rotates another shaft 40, mounted in the carriage D, in one direction only through gears 34, Fig. 4, shaft 35, toothed sectors 36, pawl 37 and a ratchet-wheel 38. This shaft 40 has screw-threads 41, 42 at either end which engage wheels 43, 44 to rotate screws 45, Fig. 3 (not shown), and 46 of the same pitch. The screw 45 is threaded in the carriage C and the screw 46 in a carriage E carrying a trimming device and being slidable vertically on the carriage D ; so that when the screws are rotated, the carriage D carrying both the grinding-wheel and the carriage E is given an incremental feed downwardly towards the work by the screw 45, and the trimming carriage E is also moved the same distance relative to the carriage D and the grinding-wheel by the screw 46. Rotation of the shaft 30 also operates trimming tools 53 through a pinion 54 on the said shaft, a shaft 55, toothed sectors 56, and a shaft 57. All the mechanism may be operated by hand in case of need.

Title: Process for producing decorative surface covering
IPC: B44F7/00
Filed: 1972-06-05
Abstract: 1401301 Coating ARMSTRONG CORK CO 5 June 1972 [7 June 1971] 26151/72 Heading B2E A surface covering having a multi-level decorative wear surface is produced by (1) depositing at least one layer of resinous dry blend on a backing sheet, (2) heating to form a cohesive porous layer from the dry blend, (3) producing a design on the cohesive porous layer by applying a settable resinous ink in sufficient amounts to permit penetration thereof through the entire thickness of the cohesive porous layer at the point of application, (4) setting the ink, (5) removing the non-design carrying portions of the cohesive porous layer while leaving the designcarrying portions thereof unaffected, and (6) heating to fuse the remaining resinous material. The dry blend may be plasticised polyvinyl chloride. The backing may be beater saturated rubber-asbestos sheet, resin-bonded glass webs, bonded synthetic webs. These carriers may become the final backing or may be supplemented with other cushioning materials, e.g. foams, non-woven material. Optionally the carrier may be coated with a plastisol base coat which may be pigmented and/or incorporate fillers such as coarse limetstone, silica, metal particles Alternatively the carrier may be pre-decorated. The dry blend layer may consist of one or more layers of granular resinous material which may differ in formulation and sintering temperatures. The dry blend is a free-flowing homogenous mixture of unfused thermoplastic vinyl resin particles, liquid vinyl plasticisers, filler pigment and vinyl stabiliser. Heating the dry blend in step (2) causes partial melting of the forming bonds which result in formulation of resin granules at their point of contact thereby a porous cohesive layer which is also bonded to the carrier. Bonding of the resinous granules at their points of contact may be effected either by sintering or through activation of an external adhesive coating on the particles. Suitable adhesives include hot melts. The ink may be thermoplastic or thermosetting foamable or non-foamable and is applied by printing, e.g. by flat or rotary screen printer. Removal of the non-design carrying portions of the porous layer may be accomplished by first physically or mechanically loosening the bonds therebetween, e.g. by application of a solvent, by printing or coating, by application of heat, mechanical brushing, air-blast, sand-blasting or 'by vacuuming or sweeping. The resulting surface covering may be further altered by chemical, mechanical means or by coating. Texturing. of the surface may be coordinated in detail with any textured effect produced in a coated backing to which the dry blend has been applied, e.g. texturing accomplished by the inclusion of various filler materials and a coating applied to the backing before application of the dry blend. The products may be used as floor coverings, wall coverings, drapery, upholstery, furniture components.
