Title: Automatic lathe
IPC: B23Q5/34
Filed: 1960-11-14
Abstract: 907,167. Automatic lathes; hobbing. USINES TORNOS, FABRIQUE DE MACHINES MOUTIER S.A. Nov. 14, 1960 [Nov. 14, 1959], No. 38976/60. Class 83 (3). An automatic lathe for operating on bar-stock has a second headstock to which severed workpieces are transferred for a gearcutting operation. A first headstock 1 which may be traversed carries the stock 2 and co-operates with a tool arrangement 3 for turning and parting-off. A transfer arm 5 picks up the severed workpiece and transfers it to a second headstock 6 which faces in the opposite direction to the first headstock so that the unworked end of the workpieces is presented to a rotary gear-cutting tool 8. The latter is carried on a spindle 41 movable in the directions indicated at b and c by a universal mounting comprising a frame 34 pivoted at 35 in a casing 31 which also pivots about a shaft 32. The drive to the tool 8 is from an independent electric motor 37 carried by the bracket 36 and frame 34. This drive is carried through by gearing to the spindle of the headstock 6 so that tool and spindle drives are synchronized. The movements of the gearcutting tool-support, the transfer arm and the axially movable tail-stock centre 10 are controlled from a cam-shaft 11 which is driven in unison with the main cam-shaft 4 of the machine by worm gearing 13, 14.

Title: A method of preparing an artificial leather
Inventor: AOKI TOMOO
IPC: D06N3/12
Filed: 1962-10-16
Abstract: Artificial leather is prepared by coating and/or impregnating a fibrous base material with a solution in an aliphatic alcohol (including halogen substituted alcohols) containing less than 6 carbon atoms of an inorganic salt of a metal of Group I or II of the Periodic System having an ionisation potential of from 0,3 to 0,8 measured in terms of Rydberg energy, e.g. LiCl, CaCl2, MgCl2, or ZnCl2 and a linear polyamide or polythioamide which has been N-alkoxymethylated to an extent corresponding to from 5 to 40 mole per cent with an alkoxymethyl group containing up to 12 carbon atoms in the alkoxy group or a mixture of such a substance with a linear polyamide or polythioamide such that the extent of alkoxymethylation for the mixture is in the range corresponding to from 5 to 40 mole per cent, and thereafter leaching the treated material with an aqueous medium to remove the inorganic salt.  Preferably, the treated material is dried, e.g. at 80-90  DEG C., prior to leaching with the aqueous medium which may be alkaline.  The resultant material may be further treated with a finishing solution in an organic solvent boiling below 100  DEG C. of one or more of an N-alkoxymethylpolyamide, a linear copolyamide, a polyester amide, an oxyethyl polyamide or a polyurethane.  The finishing solution and the initial amide/salt solution may both also comprise initial condensation products of melamine or urea resins and one or more dyestuffs, pigments, plasticizers, stabilizers and anti-static agents and when the finishing solution comprises an N-alkoxymethyl polyamide or polythioamide as a main ingredient these substances may be crosslinked to the base composition by heating at 100-160  DEG C. Specified base materials may be fabrics, papers, unwoven fabrics and mats produced from natural and synthetic polymer fibres, e.g. of viscose rayon, cellulose acetate, polyamide, polyacrylonitrile and copolymers thereof, polypropylene, polyethylene, polyvinyl acetal, P.V.C., polyvinylidene chloride and polyesters or natural fibres, e.g. of cotton, silk or wool.

Apparatus for the separation of H 2  from a gaseous mixture comprises a vessel (12), Fig. 1 (not shown) having an impure gas inlet (13) and a diffusion unit (11) comprising several horizontal diffusion cells 15 sandwiched between top and bottom cover plates (17, 16). Each cell 15 comprises a pair of H, permeable foils 36, e.g. of palladium or palladium alloy, welded circumferentially on either side of a perforated plate 21 and spaced from the central portion thereof by at least one porous flexible disc support 35, e.g. of carbon cloth, glass cloth or woven oxide cloths, and also optionally by a metallic screen 34. Perforations 33 in the plate 21 communicate with peripheral hydrogen outlets 28 via internal conduits (27), Fig. 2 (not shown). Adjacent cells 15 cooperate by means of peripheral annular lips and recesses 22, 23. The lips 22 are cut away at 30, 31 to provide for a flow of impure gas between the foils of adjacent cells whereupon the H 2  diffuses through the foils 36 and out at 28. Pure hydrogen outlets 28 and impure gas outlets 31 communicate with their respective manifolds (17), (42) Fig. 4 (not shown) from which they are withdrawn.

Abstract: 901,192. Securing together rotary parts. NOVI. Nov. 18, 1960 [Feb. 22, 1960], No. 39701/60. Class 80 (2). The hub 8 of a member such as the movable flange of an expanding pulley is axially slidable on a sleeve 9 which may be fast with the fixed flange and is keyed to a shaft 1. The hub and sleeve are coupled for rotation together by rollers 10 disposed in registering grooves 8a, 9a, the grooves 8a in the hub being wider than the rollers to provide some lost - motion. There may also be some radial play. In another application a non-expanding pulley is slidably coupled to a driven shaft by the above arrangement. In one embodiment of expanding pulley the flanges are urged together by centrifugal balls riding up a ramp formed on the exterior of the sliding flange. In the embodiment of Fig. 2 a fixed flange 12 is connected to a sleeve 15 by a cover 19 and the movable flange is biased by a spring 18 reacting against a washer 17 fast on the flange hub 13. In a modification of this arrangement the fixed flange is directly connected to the sleeve on which the other flange is slidable, the flanges being biased together by a spring acting between the movable flange and an abutment on this sleeve. A variable-speed drive for the fan of a coolant system comprises three pulleys arranged in the same vertical plane and connected by a common belt, a driving expanding pulley having its movable flange controlled by centrifugal balls, an expanding pulley having a spring-biased flange and serving as a belt tensioner, and a driven non-expanding pulley which drives the fan.
