Title: Improvements in or relating to gauges
IPC: G01B3/26
Filed: 1955-10-13
Abstract: 799,830. Plug gauges. FLITTON, J. F., THORN, L. R., and LENNIE, M. F. Dec. 24, 1956 [Oct. 13, 1955], No. 29234/55. Class 106 (2). A bore gauge comprises a tapering portion 12 of circular cross-section provided with a graduated helix 14 marked on the curved surface of the tapering portion. In the embodiment shown the gauge has a handle 13 about one inch long, and a tapering portion 12 about 2.125 inches long. At the line B, the diameter is 0.260 inch and at the line A it is 0.300 inch. Four reference lines 15 are marked at 90 degree intervals around the portion 12, and thus each intersection of the helix 14 with one of these lines represents an increase in diameter of one thousandth of an inch. In operation the gauge is inserted in a bore to be measured, the intersection nearest the edge of the bore noted, and ten thousandths of a inch estimated by eye. The gauge can also be used for measuring the minor axis of bores which are not circular in section.

Abstract: 644,858. Compound sheet materials. BOSTON WOVEN HOSE & RUBBER CO. Oct. 4, 1946, No. 29615. Convention date, March 4, 1944. [Class 140] Two or more strips of thermoplastic material are laminated together by applying them under pressure on to an endless moving metal belt heated to a temperature at which the thermoplastic material adheres, heating the thermoplastic material while subjected to pressure to a non-decomposing, strain-relieving temperature above the heat-forming temperature, cooling the unitary laminated sheet to a non-adherent condition, and then stripping it from the belt. An endless pad of rubbercoated fabric may be interposed between the metal belt or the pressure - applying device and the thermoplastic material. As shown, strips 28 of thermoplastic material are fed to the bite between a heated drum 10 and an endless metal band 12 which presses the strips 28 against a substantial arcuate portion of the drum and also passes around rollers 14, 15 and 16. The metal band is heated by a heating jacket 22 and roller 16 may also be heated. From the drum 10 the united layers adhering to the steel band 12 are carried around roller 14 which is cooled and beneath a cooling jacket 24. Further cooling of the band 12 and the adhering thermoplastic strip may be effected by a water-circulating jacket 26. The thermoplastic strip, which becomes non-adherent on cooling, is stripped from the belt 12 and wound up into a roll 38. A second metal band 30 supported on rollers 32 and 34 may be provided to contact the other side of the thermoplastic material. The thermoplastic material may be vinyl chloride polymerized by itself, with vinyl acetate or vinylidene chloride, or a polyvinyl acetal. Specification 473,899 is referred to.

Each wash station comprises a tank containing liquid, at least one rotating drum preferably perforated on a portion of which rests the fabric, and which is partially immersed in the liquid in the tank, and a plurality of spray elements located adjacent at least one portion of the external surface of the drum and projecting liquid against it from a number of the spray elements disposed above and the remainder of the elements disposed below the surface of the liquid in the tank. The plant also includes means for spreading the fabric out in a direction substantially transverse to its direction of movement upstream and downstream of the rotating drum and means for wringing the fabric located downstream of the drum. Preferably the wash station includes a pump for sucking out the wash liquid contained in the drum and feeding it via a closed cycle to the spray elements. The pump comprises at least one self-cleaning filter and the drum and box heating elements. The levels of the liquid in the washing tanks are controlled automatically as is the tension of the fabric. As shown in figure 1, unit 1 introduces fabric to a first wash station 2, a storage box 3, second and third wash stations 4 and 5, and a collecting unit 7 for the washed fabric. Control of the units is effected by device 6 e.g. one or more photoelectric cells. The storage box includes a pair of conveyors 8 and 9, and ports 11 for wash liquid. The actual wash station is shown in greater detail in figure 4 wherein tank 12 contains liquid at a level controlled by overflow 13, and a hollow rotatable perforated drum 14. Adjacent the drum are spray elements 16 fed by header 42 with liquid from pump 18 by motor 25 (both not shown). Rollers 20 and 21 are widening rollers and downstream from the latter are wringing rollers 22 and 23. Cylinder 24 pulls the fabric through the wash station. The temperature of the liquid is controlled by steam coil 36.
