Title: A fastening device for an opening such as the opening in shoes
Inventor: FORRESTER CLIVE BENTON
IPC: A43C11/12
Filed: 1963-09-06
Abstract: 1,026,769. Boots &c. fastenings. TALON Inc. Sept. 6, 1963, No. 35269/63. Heading A3B. [Also in Division E2] A fastening device for an opening such as the opening in shoes comprises a substantially V-shape first wire member 2 having its arm portions 3, 4 connected at one end and having portions 7, 8 for connection to the material defining the opening and which extend the length of the arm portions and are connected to said arm portions near their juncture at said one end and movable means 12 connected to the first wire member and movable therealong for moving the arm portions of the V towards and away from each other to respectively close and open the opening, the movable means comprising a combined manipulating and fastening member made of bent wire formed so as to provide a transveres portion 13 having a substantially U-shaped portion 14 arranged at each end thereof whereby a pair of spaced apart legs are provided said portion 14 straddling, in one position, the arm portions of the first wire member 2, a respective portion 15 disposed out of the plane of said portions 14, substantially at an acute angle to said plane, interconnecting one of the legs of each of the portions 14 with the portion 13 and a handle portion 16 and arranged opposite the portion 13 substantially centrally thereof and connected at each side thereof with the other leg of the respective portion 14. The handle portion is joined to the portions 14 by angularly disposed portions 17. In the construction shown the portions 7 and 8 are provided with hooks 9, 10 by which they engage the V-shaped member 2 near the junction between the arm portions and the portion 5 which connects them together. The material which forms the opening is folded around the portions 7, 8 and sewn in position. The portions 14 normally each engage one of the arm portions 3, 4 and the distance between the legs of the portions 14 is such that they wedgingly engage the arm portions 3, 4; a pull on the handle portion 16 however causes the angularly arranged portions 15 and 17 to cam the arm portions 3, 4 towards each other by tilting the member 12 relative to the arm portions; it can then be slid along the arm portions to another position and upon release the resilience of the arm portions causes them to tilt the member 12 to the position in which the arm portions enter the portions 14.

Dec. 20, 1935, No. 35304. [Classes 8 (i) and 102 (i)] A pump 29 working in unison with a compressor 10 delivers cooling water into the compressor chambers on the pressure strokes of the compressor. The water is delivered through pipes 43, 46 to diaphragm chambers 39, the water pressure lifts the diaphragms and opens valves 50 to pass the water to the compressor. The upper sides of the diaphragms are subject to adjustable spring pressure and to the pressure of gas in a delivery chamber in which the gas and water are separated before the gas passes to storage. The water in the delivery chamber is cooled, e.g. by a brine circulating coil having a valve controlled in accordance with the water temperature. Gas is admitted to the compressor through a chamber 18 on the under side and is delivered to an upper chamber 24. The water pump is provided with a byepass 70 comprising a valve 74 normally held closed by opposed springs and opened by excessive pressure. The water from the separating tank is redelivered to the water pump.

[Class 36] In a high-frequency cable, flow and return conductors or conducting groups lie in different intersecting and mutually perpendicular planes to provide jointly a cross-shaped cross section, the part of the conductor or conductor group constituting each arm of the cross having a greater dimension in the direction of the arm than perpendicular thereto. In Fig. 1, the conductors 1, 2 are band shaped, the conductor 1, Fig. 5, being formed with slots 7 and the conductor 2 being in two parts. Projection b, c on the parts of the conductor 2 pass through the slots 7 in the conductor 1 and are welded or riveted together. Insulation is provided between the conductors and notches are formed in the periphery to receive insulating rings or a continuous winding of string which secures the conductors together and also serves to support a metal sheathing. In a modification, Fig. 4, parallel connected oval conductors 3, 4 and 5, 6 are employed. Fig. 13 shows a group 3<1> 3 4 4<1> of parallel connected conductors and a second group of parallel connected conductors 5<1> 5, 6 61. The conductors 3<1> 3, 5, 5<1> are first tied together by plaitwork and similarly the conductors 41, 4, 6, 61. The ribbons so formed are bent lengthwise at right angles and sewn or clamped together to form the completed structure shown.

Title: Rubbery polymers and copolymers containing mixed halogens
Inventor: SERNIUK GEORGE EMIL
IPC: C08L23/28
Filed: 1961-10-02
Abstract: Mixed halogenated polymers or copolymers of butadiene, or isoprene-butadiene, or of one or more olefines or of one or more dienes are prepared by reacting the said polymer or copolymer first with one of the halogens chlorine or bromine and then reacting the product with the other of said halogens under such conditions that the halogens are present in an amount of not more than one atom of chlorine, and not more than three atoms of bromine, for each double bond in the polymer or copolymer.  In the first embodiment butyl rubber is reacted in sequence with bromine and chlorine, or suitable bromination and chlorination reagents, at temperatures of -50 DEG  to +200 DEG C.  Preferably the butyl rubber is dissolved in a solvent with chlorine or a chlorinating agent and then the reaction mixture is brominated or the chloroproduct is isolated and subsequently dissolved in a solvent and brominated.  Halogenating agents mentioned are chlorine, bromine, alkali metal hypochlorites and hypobromites, sulphur chlorides and bromides, chloro or bromo hydantoins, alph-bromo- or chloro-aceto acetanilide, bromo- and chloro succinimide, sulphuryl chloride and bromide, iodine chloride and bromide and chloro- and bromo-phthalimides.  In the second embodiment a polyolefine is used, said polyolefine being made from 1 or more alkene-1 monomers which contains 2 to 12 carbon atoms per molecule, polyethylene being preferred.  The chloro-bromo-polyolefine should contain 1 to 45% weight of chlorine and 1 to 30% weight of bromine. In the third embodiment polydienes are used, e.g. polybutadiene; polyisoprene; polydimethylbutadiene; polypiperylene and copolymers thereof, e.g. butadiene and styrene copolymers; ethylene and butadiene copolymers; ethylene, butadiene and propylene tripolymers; ethylene and isoprene copolymers and butadiene, styrene, propylene and ethylene tetrapolymers.  The chloro-bromopolymer or copolymer may be placed adjacent to a previously vulcanized high unsaturation rubber layer selected from the group consisting of natural rubber, diene-styrene rubber, and diene-acrylo-nitrile rubber, and subsequently cured to provide a product having improved adhesion between said halogenated polymer and said layer.  Specifications 513,521, 565,974, 799,392, 799,823 and 801,031 are referred to.

Abstract: 1,060,614. Frequency changing. ENGLISH ELECTRIC CO. Ltd. Sept. 18, 1963 [Sept. 19, 1962], No. 35650/62. Heading H2F. A frequency changer of the kind in which controlled rectifiers connect each phase of the input to the or each phase of the output in turn has an inductance-capacitance network connecting the anodes and cathodes of all the controlled rectifiers, so that the initial flow of load current through any one rectifier causes a voltage pulse which turns off any previously conducting rectifier. In one embodiment, Fig. 1 (not shown), a single phase load is connected at one end to the star point of a polyphase supply (10) and the other end is connected through back-to-back pairs of thyristors (12 and 13, 14 and 15, 16 and 17) to the phases of the supply. Magnetically coupled inductors (19, 20) and capacitors (21, 22, 23) turn off a previously conducting rectifier by reverse biasing it when the next rectifier in sequence begins to conduct. In another embodiment, Fig. 2 (not shown), for three-phase to three-phase frequency conversion the switching means are thyristors connected across diode bridges.
