Title: Method of adhering butyl rubber to a fibrous reinforcing structure
IPC: C08J5/06
Filed: 1955-05-05
Abstract: Butyl rubber is bonded to a fibrous reinforcing structure, e.g of regenerated cellulose, nylon or cotton by applying to the latter a mixture of Butyl rubber, an organic isocyanate and an aryl dinitroso compound and/or an aryl dioxime, placing the treated structure in contact with a vulcanizable composition of the Butyl rubber, and vulcanizing.  Alternatively the fibrous structure may be treated with Butyl rubber and an organic isocyanate only, in which case the vulcanizable Butyl rubber composition contains a dinitroso compound or an aryl dioxime. The organic isocyanate may comprise ethyl, isobutyl, octadecyl, phenyl, naphthyl, or tolyl isocyanate, ethylene, hexa-methylene, propylene 1, 2, butylene 1, 2, ethylidene, cyclopentylene 1, 3, cyclohexylene 1, 2, paraphenylene, 4, 41-diphenylene, 1, 5 naphthalene, 4, 41 diphenylene methane, toluene 2, 4, diphenyl 3, 31 dimethoxy 4, 41, or 4, 41 diphenyl ether diisocyanate, 4, 41, 411-triphenyl methane or toluene 2, 4, 6-triisocyanate, 4, 41-dimethyl diphenyl methane, 2, 21, 5, 51 tetraisocyanate, or a higher polyisocyanate.  Mixed monoisocyanates, and/or polyisocyanates may be employed.  The aryl dinitroso compound may be a derivative of benzene, e.g. paradinitrosobenzene or polyparanitrosobenzene, or of cymene, toluene, or naphthalene. The aryl dioxime may comprise paraquinone, naphthoquinone, toluquinone, diphenoquinone, or diquinoyl dioxime.  In examples a rayon cord is dipped into a solution of Butyl rubber in a petroleum ether diluted with toluene and various amounts of a polyisocyanate mixture and a composition comprising 25 per cent polyparadinitrosobenzene and 75 per cent petroleum wax.  The polyisocyanate mixture is prepared by the phosgenation of an aniline-formaldehyde condensation product. The dipped cord is dried and embedded in Butyl rubber composition and the assembly vulcanized.

Title: Improvements in unloaders for compressors
IPC: F04B49/24
Filed: 1922-05-10
Abstract: 206,868. Marks, E. C. R., (Ingersoll-Rand Co.). May 10, 1922. Regulating compression. - An unloader for compressors comprises a casing containing a main valve which controls the compressor discharge, and formed with a vent to atmosphere controlled by a relief valve, the valve being controlled by an automatic feeder valve, subject only to the pressure in the compressor cylinder. The casing A interposed in the discharge line of a compressor contains a spring-pressed check valve Q seated in a partition P. On the inlet side of this partition is a relief valve V controlling a vent X to atmosphere. An extension W of the valve stem bears in its upper position against the valve Q, and the stem is also formed with a piston Z pressed upwardly by a spring b compressed by an adjustable cap c. At starting the pressure, which is only in part relieved by the vent X, rises until it closes the valve V after a time which may be determined by the adjustment of the spring b ; thereafter pressure is built up in the casing until the discharge valve Q is forced open. The compressed air which remains in the casing when the compressor is stopped, and which holds the valve V down, is allowed to leak away through a pipe e leading to a casing g with a vent f to atmosphere. A valve h controlling the inlet of air to the casing g is pressed upwards by a spring k and downwards by a diaphragm i above which the casing is connected by a port p with the interior of the compressor cylinder, a valve q being provided in the casing, opening towards the diaphragm, and formed with a fine hole s. During normal action of the compressor, air is forced past the valve q on the compression stroke and retained by the valve in contact with the diaphragm, whereby the valve h is held on its seat. When the compressor is stopped, for example by independent automatic means when desired pressure is reached, the air therein assumes nearly atmospheric pressure on each side of the piston, and the pressure on the upper side of the diaphragm is gradually relieved through the hole s in the valve q, allowing the valve h to rise and the air in the pipe e to escape, and allowing the valve V to rise and uncover the vent X. Alternatively, the hole s may be formed in the casing g or in the diaphragm.

These discs are rotatable on the stud 10 and their peripheral edges 21, 20 serve as a drum round which the tape 19 is coiled after one end has been joined to the spring 18. The moulding 7 may be formed in a peripheral flange of the part 3 and the tape 19 may pass out of the casing 1 through a slot 24 Fig. 1 (not shown) in a reinforcement 25 in the flange 4. A rigid L- shaped tongue 26 is secured over the outer end of the tape 19. Screws 14, 15 in tapped holes in the stud 10 hold the parts together including discs 27, 28 which may be inscribed. The casing parts 5, 6 and discs 27, 28 are metal and the parts 3,16,17 and 25 are plastic, preferably nylon,which smooths the movement of the tape 19 and reduces abrasion. In one modification the moulding 7 is separate from the part 3 which is not flanged. In another the upper surface of the outlet reinforcement is curved concavely to suit the cross-section of the tape.

Abstract: 551,416. Elevators. LAX & SHAW, Ltd., and BRANFORD, J. E. Oct. 20, 1941, No. 13468. [Classes 78 (i) and 78 (iii)] In means for transferring glass or other articles from a lower to a higher position, a guide device moves the articles from, for instance, a conveyer belt horizontally on to a table, which is then raised together with the guides to a higher level, after which the guide device moves the articles horizontally on to a stationary or moving surface. The table 24 and guide device 3, shown in plan in Fig. 2 and in elevation in Fig. 3, are raised, lowered and swung by superposed cylinders 4, 7 mounted on a double piston rod 5 which can be rotated by an operating piston 14 through a rack 13 and pinion 12 but cannot be moved otherwise. Articles are delivered between the guides 3 from a conveyer belt 1, and at intervals, the belt operates a valve 17 by which pressure fluid is supplied to control cylinder 19 to operate valve 20 where fluid from supply pipe. 23 moves piston 14 towards the left until it is stopped by lock valve 27a, also fluid operated, engaging recess 28. The rotation of piston 5 rotates cylinder 4 through mechanism, not shown, and thus rotates guides 3 to sweep the articles on to table 24. Fluid supplied above piston 9 on rod 5 raises both cylinders 7, 4 until table 24 is level with upper table 37. Lock valve 27a is released at this point by arm 35 on cylinder 7 and piston 14 continues its movement thus further rotating guides 3 to move articles on to table 37. Cylinder 4 is then raised relatively to table 24 and cylinder 7 to move the guides clear of the articles, the guides being swung back and both guides and table 24 lowered by the lowering of both cylinders. Fluid release valves 30, 33 are closed by springs and opened by stops on rod 13. In a modification, table 24 is rotated while in its raised position.
