Filed: 1943-03-02
Abstract: 576,621. Gun mountings; fluidpressure servomotors. ROSE, A. G., NICHOLLS, K. H., and ROSE BROS. (GAINSBOROUGH), Ltd. March 2, 1943, No. 162. [Classes 92 (i) and 92 (ii)] [Also in Group XXIX] Power-operated gun elevating or training means is controlled by a manually-operated sighting arm 25 pivoted for movement about the axis of elevation or training. The power means preferably comprises hydraulic vane motors 13, 14 and 19, 20 for elevating and training respectively, and the operation of a single sighting arm 25 in any direction causes, through valves 27, 28 or their equivalents mounted on the gun 11, instantaneous and synchronous movements of the gun in the same sense as those of the sighting arm. In the form shown, the outer portion 13 of the elevation motor is secured to the gun and the inner portion 14 is fast with the trunnion support 12. The outer portion 19 of the training motor is connected with the support 12 and the inner portion is fast with the base, 18. Power is obtained by an oil pump 38 driven by an electric motor 44 and the oil from a sump 43 is delivered through pipe-lines 41 to the control valves 27, 28 on the gun and thence through pipes 29 to the vane motors. The sighting- arm 25, carrying the sight 46, is U-shaped and pivoted at 24 on the elevation axis, a U-shaped depending portion 22 being pivoted at 21 on the axis of training. The sighting arm is connected by ball-jointed'rods 33, 34 with the valves 27, 28. The vane motors may be replaced by hydraulic rams. Specifications 553,267 and 555,261 are referred to.

[Class 137] A portable hum idifying apparatus comprises an outer casing 10, the lower part of which holds water, and a tube 26 which contains and supports a fan and motor, and is slotted at 40 to permit the passage of a belt 39 whereby water is dispersed in the air passing through the tube. The tube 26 is secured eccentrically to a ring 20 the flange 21 of which has a push-on fit on the end of the casing 10, the ring being secured by bolts and nuts 22, 23. A ring 28 has a flange 29 which is pushed on to the other end of the casing, and carries a tube 31 which engages telescopically the end of the tube 26 and supports it. The water projected into the tube 26 by the belt 39 strikes a plate 41 which is attached to the tube and is formed at its inner edge as a trough which is inclined to guide the water to a textile mesh screen 43 carried by a metal ring 44 located between a rib 45 on the ring 20 and a ring 46 spot welded to the tube 26. The ring 44 has a finger-piece 49 and tags 50 one of which enters a gap 48 in the ring 46 and locates the screen. Two curved plates 55 are spot welded to the tube 26 at its front end, these plates carrying brackets 57 which support bars 60 carrying a heating resistance 61. A protective grille 67 and name plate 68 is carried by the plate 28. By removing the nuts 23, the tube 26 with the screen, fan, motor and heater may be removed as a unit from the casing 10.

Abstract: 1530330 Gas turbine engines - fuel supply at starting DRESSER INDUSTRIES Inc 7 Jan 1976 [22 Jan 1975] 00554/76 Heading F1G The invention relates to gas turbine engines of the kind in which an auxiliary compressor is provided for supplying air to the fuel injection nozzles whereby the fuel is atomized; in accordance with the invention a further compressor is provided which is driven by a constant speed motor, for supplying fuel atomizing air at engine starting. The engine shown in Fig. 1 comprises an air compressor 12, combustion equipment 14 and a turbine. An auxiliary compressor 20 is driven by the turbine and supplies air through line 22 to the fuel injectors whereby the fuel is atomized. A further compressor 42 driven by a constant speed motor 46 is provided and is utilized at engine starting. In normal operation air tapped from the main compressor 12 at 26 is passed through line 28, through inter-cooler 32 and check-valve 36 to the inlet 30 of the auxiliary compressor 20. At starting, the compressor 42 is driven and takes air from the line 28 downstream of the inter-cooler and delivers it through line 48 into the line 30 and so into the auxiliary compressor 20. Once the engine is running, the further compressor is shut down and the air is further compressed in the auxiliary compressor 20 only. A line 54 is provided connecting the lines 28 and 22 as shown and containing a check-valve 56 - this permits air from the further compressor 42 to pass either through the auxiliary compressor 20 or through the check-valve 56. In a second embodiment the line 54 and check-valve 56 are not provided.

Title: Improvements in the treatment of textile materials consisting of or containing animal fibres to reduce their tendency to felt and shrink
IPC: D06M11/50
Filed: 1942-01-16
Abstract: 553,923. Shrink reducing treatments for wool dyeing. BLEACHERS' ASSOCIATION, Ltd., PARKER, C. S., FARRINGTON, F., and STUBBS, A. E. Jan. 16, 1942, Nos. 643 and 10450. [Class 15 (ii)] Textile materials containing wool or other animal fibres capable of felting or shrinking are treated to reduce shrinkage with aqueous solutions of hydrogen peroxide or other peroxides or persalts capable of evolving oxygen, while maintaining the pH of the solution at from 8 to 12. Perborates, percarbonates, and the compound of hydrogen peroxide with urea are referred to as other examples of per salts. The alkaline substance to be added may be sodium or other alkaline hydroxide, silicate, borate, phosphate, or carbonate ; ammonia or organic bases such as triethanolamine, triethylamine and quaternary ammonium hydroxides. The temperature conditions are chosen according to the nature of the alkaline substance and the length of time to be devoted to the treatment. If the alkaline substance has appreciable stabilizing effect on hydrogen peroxide, e.g. sodium silicate, temperatures of 85 to 95‹C. may be used and the time of reaction is short, e.g. from 30 secs. to 5 minutes. If on the other hand caustic soda or other alkali having little stabilizing effect is used, a longer and repeated treatment at a lower temperature is necessary, e.g. for 8 minutes at 60‹C. repeated six times. Alternatively the fabric may be soaked with the alkaline peroxide in the cold and then heated by steam. According to one example, a fabric of 50 per cent. wool and 50 per cent. cotton is treated for 30 seconds at 85‹C. with a " two volumes " solution of hydrogen peroxide adjusted to pH 12 with sodium silicate. The fabric is then washed in water and dried. The treatment may be applied to cloth in the form of a roll, or it may be applied to the slubbing, roving, yarn or thread from which the fabric is made. The treatment can be applied before or after dyeing and serves to improve the levelness of the dyeing as well as imparting anti-shrink properties. The affinity of acid dyestuffs is increased when the concentration of peroxide is low or the concentration of alkali high. When reducing agents such as sodium bisulphite have been used in previous treatment of the wool, more drastic oxidation conditions may be applied.

Abstract: 679,979. Converting. SCIAKY, D. Jan. 12, 1950 [Jan. 12, 1949], No. 836/50. Class 38 (ii). Single-phase A.C. from L1, L2 is converted to a series of unidirectional or alternately reversed current pulses in the secondary winding 11 of a transformer 10 supplying a load such as a welding circuit 1, 2, each pulse consisting of a train of fully-rectified waves, the positive and negative halves of the waves being passed through two different windings 16, 18 of the transformer in such manner that their fluxes act in the same direction. Between the A.C. supply and the windings 16, 18 respectively are connected reversely-connected pairs of diodes 21, 22 and 30, 31 with switches 23, 24 and 32, 33 in series. The switches are operated by a sequence timer 34. When switches 23, 33 are closed, alternate half-waves of current pass through windings 16, 18 in such directions as to produce a continuously-rising flux in transformer core 10 and thereby a pulse in secondary winding 12. When switches 24, 32 are closed a pulse is produced in secondary winding 12 in the reverse direction. By suitable setting of the sequence timer, a series of unidirectional or alternately reversed pulses may be supplied to the load. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown), the diodes with switches in series are replaced by ignitrons fired by circuits including gridcontrolled valves, a suitable sequence time being provided to energize the valve grids and hence fire the ignitrons to produce the same effect in the transformer secondary as in the circuit shown in Fig. 1. Specifications 654,583 and 681,825 are referred to,
