Title: Improvements in or relating to vehicle wheels, pulley wheels and the like
IPC: B60B21/12
Filed: 1928-05-14
Abstract: 317,385. Anode Rubber Co. (England), Ltd., and Hereford, E. H. May 14, 19:28. Indiarubber, attaching to metal articles.- Vehicle wheels and pulleys are covered, wholly or in part, with rubber or the like produced from aqueous dispersions by spreading, spraying, dipping or electrophoresis. The part of a wheel rim contacting with the inner tube may be of soft rubber, which may be applied over a strip of canvas covering the spoke nipples, while the remainder of the surface may be coated with hard enamel-like rubber which serves instead of me usual plating or enamelling. Suitable mixes are quoted, which include the use of zinc soaps, transformer oil, and sodium phosphate (for toughening). In the case of pulleys, the rubber coating may contain (or be dusted with, prior to drying) fillers such as asbestos, silica or metals, which minimize slipping of belts. When coating is effected by dipping, a preliminary coagulating coating is applied, for example gelatine containing calcium chloride or acetic acid. In the example illustrated, for coating electrophoretic ally the outer surface of a wheel rim, the part of the surface to be coated is plated with zinc, then coated with the substance known under the Registered Trade Mark Vulcalock, and electrophoresis is effected with the help of a peroxidecoated lead cathode b fixed by cross-pieces c. The deposit is dried and vulcanized, the air pressure employed during vulcanization being maintained during cooling. Instead of rubber, gutta- ,percha or balata may be used, or dispersions of coagulated, waste or reclaimed rubber, or mixtures including mineral rubber, rubber substitute, synthetic rubber, proteins or artificial resins.

Title: Scraper apparatus for cleaning rotary kilns
IPC: F27D25/00
Filed: 1977-04-05
Abstract: The cylindrical cage (20) has openings, through which the substance to be treated can be moved in the axial and the radial direction. The cage (20) has a support frame (11). A large number of scratching members (10) extend in the axial direction of the rotary furnace (1) and are in each case arranged at a distance from one another on the outer circumference of the support frame (11). The cage diameter is smaller than the internal diameter of the rotary furnace. At least one scratching member (10) touches the inside of the rotary furnace so that the cage rotates freely together with the rotary furnace (1). The cage (20) has bolts (12). A piston rod (13) of a fluid cylinder (14) can be displaced into contact with the bolts (12) in order to stop the rotation of the cage (20) at intervals. Residues adhering to the inner wall can consequently be removed without the rotary furnace having to be taken out of operation for a relatively long time. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-143251-A (GB)
Abstract: 143,251. Schildt, W. Sept. 7, 1914, [Convention date]. Calculating-apparatus.-In machines of the pinwheel and cam-disk type, the setting is directly effected by the depression of a selected key in each denomination. A platform 11 is provided with radial guide-bushes 12 for the key-stems 14, each of which has a wing 15 sliding in a lateral slot 13 which extends through the platform. The depression of any key causes a spring-pressed bar 20 to be displaced laterally bv a coned collar 17, over which the bar finally springs back to retain the key in the depressed position until released bv the operation of another key. The stem 14 of the depressed key is wedge-shaped and engages behind a flap 7 hinged to the pin-wheel 9, thereby withdrawing a detent 8 from one of a series of holes in the cam-disk 1 and allowing this disk to rotate under the influence of a spring 4 until the nose 3 of a stop-piece 2 mounted thereon is stopped by the wing of the depressed key. The depressed keys are released, before rotation of the operating-handle, by manual displacement of the spring-pressed retaining-bar. The re-setting is accomplished by depressing the " 9 " key and rotating the operating-handle. The wing 15 of the " 9 key is provided with a lateral extension 27 with a projection 28 which stops the nose 3 in the event of that key having been depressed in the setting, for between the depression of the key aud the re-engagement of the detent 8, a very slight forward movement of the disk 1 takes place, which would have the effect of taking the nose 3 beyond the wing 15 of the " 9 " key. The key-stems may be of angular cross-section to prevent rotation, and may have projections to abut against the underside of the platform 11 in place of the wings abutting against a rod 19, as shown. Specifications 336/00, 23606/00, and 27446/07 are referred to.
