Title: Method and device for the production of coloured patterns on textile or the like webs
Inventor: WEBER FRIEDRICH
IPC: D06B11/00
Filed: 1964-11-19
Abstract: 1,085,128. Patterning webs. HALBMOND TEPPICHE VEB. Nov. 19, 1964, No. 47141/64. Heading D1L. In apparatus for producing a pattern on a textile or like web by spraying, the colour liquid is sprayed continuously and the spray is intermittently deflected onto or away from the web to form the patterning, the spray liquid not applied to the web being collected and re-cycled. In Fig. 3 colour liquid pressure in a chamber 7 sprays through a series of nozzles 8 extending across the width of the web 1. Associated with each nozzle is a tongue 9 which in its lower position (as shown) deflects the spray 3 onto a plate 10 and into a collecting chamber 12 to be pumped to chamber 7. If the tongue 9 is lifted in direction M the spray passes through an orifice in a plate 14 and onto the web 1; in this way patterns may be produced on the web. In an alternative form the liquid is sprayed by a grooved roller rotating in a liquid bath. In a further form (Fig. 9 not shown) the spray from each nozzle- (8) may be downwardly deflected by a jet of compressed air controlled by a needle valve. In Fig. 11 the colour liquid 5 falls from a trough in a spray parallel to the web 1 and into a collecting chamber 12; the spray may be stabilized by vertically stretched wires 34 therein. The spray is deflected onto the web by compressed air from a nozzle 8, the pattern being determined by an endless stencil bard 35 continuously passing across the mouth of the nozzle. In an alternative form (Fig. 12 not shown) a series of compressed air nozzles is arranged across the width of the falling spray and the nozzles are individually activated by needle valves to form the pattern. In Fig. 13 (not shown) a series of nozzles (8) spray liquid approximately perpendicularly towards the web, each spray passing between electrodes or electro-magnets of opposite sign which, when activated, deflect the spray from the web. In Fig. 16 (not shown) the spray from nozzle (8) may be deflected by a jet of compressed air from a flexible hose (43). An armature (47) is provided on the hose and when this is attracted to an electromagnet (48) the end of the hose moves out of alignment with an orifice (46) and the deflecting jet of air no longer strikes the spray. In Fig. 15 (not shown) the spray from a nozzle (8) passes through a nozzle (40) which is charged oppositely to an electrode (41) lying behind the web.

Abstract: 1,198,895. Gas lighters. R. GUILLOU & CIE. 8 Oct., 1968 [25 Oct., 1967], No. 47593/68. Heading F4F. A gas lighter has a knurled wheel 6 fast with a spindle 5, rotatably mounted in a cavity 2, 2b of a fuel reservoir 1, for rotation of a flint wheel 19 secured to the end of the spindle, and a knurled wheel 7 mounted relatively rotatably on the spindle 5 adjacent wheel 6 for controlling the gas flow from an orifice 15 in a burner 16, and is characterized in that the wheels 6, 7 can thus be operated by the same finger of the same hand, either successively or simultaneously, the wheel 7 being returned to the off position only by a further manual operation thereof. The wheel 7 has a boss 8 to limit its rotation and a cam extension 9 with a cam face 10 co-operating with the face 10a of an element 11 which is slidable on spindle 5 and urged towards the wheel 7 by a spring 12. The free end of an arm 14 carried by element 11 forms a closure element for the burner orifice 15 and to prevent its rotation it passes through a longitudinal slot (25a) in an element (25) secured to a block (20) fast with the reservoir 1, Figs, 2 and 3 (not shown) so that rotation of the wheel 7 elevates the element 11 and slides the arm 14 off the orifice 15. The arm 14 also rests in a groove (17) in a sleeve (18) surrounding the burner to protect it and direct gas to a spring-urged flint (19a) in the block (20), bearing on the wheel 19. A lid with an aperture for the flame is screwed on to block 20.

Abstract: 1,150,590. Spinning chimney. VSESOJUZNY NAUCHNO-ISSLEDOVATELSKY INSTITUT MASHIN DLYA PROIZVODSTVA SINTETICHESKIKH VOLOKON. 28 Oct., 1966, No. 48438/66. Heading B5B. Apparatus for air-stream cooling of filaments, comprises a pressure chamber 2, 3 having internally thereof a perforated conduit 8, 9 and a quenching chimney 4 inside which the filament or filaments are cooled, both said chamber and said chimney being interconnected, and said pressure chamber comprising a plenum chamber 3 and a plenum ante-chamber 2 for damping the air stream pulsation, in communication with the plenum chamber through said perforated conduit which conduit is of a variable crosssection and has perforations 10, 11 in both portions located within the plenum chamber and the plenum ante-chamber. As shown, the part 8 of the conduit in the plenum ante-chamber is of cylindrical cross-section, while the part 9 of the conduit in the plenum chamber 3 is of tapering cross-section. The perforations 11 in that portion of the conduit 9 which is inside the plenum chamber, are of variable diameter reducing towards the end remote from the plenum ante-chamber and are only provided on that portion of the surface which faces the wall of the housing 6 and away from the screens 5 separating the plenum chamber from the quenching chimney 4. The rate of feed of air into the apparatus from main 17 is controlled by an air valve which includes a coil spring 16, the compression of which may be varied by means of a lead screw 13. Filaments 18 are extruded from spinning nozzle 1 and pass downwardly through quenching chimney 4. The pulsations of the air stream supplied at 17 are damped by passage between the coils of spring 16, and further damped by passage of the air stream through the holes 10 into the cylindrical portion 8 of the conduit, the pulsations being completely baffled out by passage of the air stream through plenum chamber 3, owing to the arrangement of holes 11 of varying diameter and the variable cross-section of the conduit, and thus a uniform exhaust velocity of the air stream is attained over the entire height of quenching chimney 4. Hence filaments having a greater uniformity of denier may be obtained.

Title: Support wheel assembly for a reversible plough
IPC: A01B15/00
Filed: 1977-11-30
Abstract: When the plough frame is being lifted as a result of the effect of gravity, the oscillating support wheel assumes one vertical position and then, when the plough frame is turning, pivots first forwards and then into the opposite vertical position. A pivoting device (20-23) ensures that the support wheel (8), after being placed on the ground, assumes its working position against a stop (9 or 10). For this purpose, the axle (14) of the support wheel (8) is arranged pivotably on an axle (15) mounted in a support-wheel carrier (7), so that the support wheel (8), when placed on the ground, comes out of a blocked position into a position in which the support wheel (8) can rotate freely. The blocking of the support wheel (8) is ensured in that the support wheel (8), when lifted off the ground, pivots about the axle (15) in the support-wheel (7), so that a collar (17) arranged on the wheel hub (18) of the support wheel (8) can come with a face (26) up against a stop (16) of the support-wheel carrier (7) as a blocking means. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 1,145,389. Hydrochloric acid; alkali metal sulphates. WOODALL - DUCKHAM Ltd. 3 Nov., 1967 [8 Nov., 1966], No. 50039/66. Heading C1A. NaCl or KCI is fed continually into a boiling aqueous reaction mixture in a vessel into which strong H 2 SO 4  is also continually admitted via a drying system communicating with the vapour space of said vessel, wherein water vapour is removed from the exit HCl gas, and aqueous reaction mass is continually withdrawn from said vessel. In Fig. 1, the salt is introduced into a vessel 1 from a hopper 4 via a weigher-feeder 3. Steam and water are introduced at 5 and 6 respectively at such a rate as to maintain a boiling aqueous slurry in 1, and sulphuric acid enters at 16 from supply 14 via pump 15 and tower 12. Moist HCl gas is given off in 1, and, through pipe 11, enters tower 12, where it undergoes heat and material exchange with descending H 2 SO 4  in section 12a, is cooled to 60-70‹ C. in heat-exchange system 12b, is stripped of substantially all its water content in 12c by incoming strong (e.g. 98%) H 2 SO 4 , and then exits as product gas. An alternative form of HCl drying device is described. Reaction mass from 1 passes through pump 8 to the head of stripping tower 9, which it descends, at its boiling-point in counter-current to air and/or steam from inlet 10, so that the reaction between 1 mole of salt and 1 mole of H 2 SO 4  may go to completion to give the appropriate bisulphate, and so that HCl is stripped from the mixture. Two alternative forms of HCl stripping device are described. The reaction mass from 1 may pass (instead of to a stripping tower) to a spray - roaster in which it is sprayed in counter-current to ascending hot gases at such a temperature that the reaction between two moles of salt and 1 mole of H 2 SO 4  may take place to give a sulphate, which is removed as product at the base of the roaster, whilst the exhaust gases are scrubbed with water to remove HCl as an aqueous solution, which may be recycled to vessel 1.

Abstract: 1,032,239. Vehicle suspension. VAUXHALL MOTORS Ltd. Nov. 5, 1964 [Dec. 19, 1963], No. 50146/63. Heading B7D. A motor vehicle suspension comprises a fluid suspension unit, which may be a bellows or resilient diaphragm, each associated with a helical spring, or a piston 32 operating in a cylinder 34 against a spring 36, associated with each wheel. The units may be connected, e.g. to transverse suspension arms 14, 16 in the case of independently suspended wheels, or to a beam axle 22. The units on each side of the vehicle are connected by conduits 38, 40, which are connected in parallel to a control unit which may comprise a stepped cylinder 42 in which is disposed a stepped piston 44 acted upon by a spring 48. The larger portion of cylinder 46 also contains a piston 56 acted upon on one side by a spring 64 and on the other by fluid from the conduit 38. The smaller portion of the cylinder 46 contains a piston 62 acted upon on one side by a spring 68 and on the other by fluid from the conduit 40. Alternatively, the control unit may comprise separate cylinders 78 and 80, Fig. 2 (not shown), containing pistons 86 and 88 acted upon by fluid from the conduits 38 and 40, respectively, on their one sides, and on their other sides by springs 82 and 84 which act against pistons 74 and 76 connected to a plate 70 to which is applied a resilient biasing force by a coil spring, pneumatic device or rubber block. In a further modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), the control unit comprises a pair of plates 90, 104, against one of which a resilient biasing force 92 is applied, and between which are disposed bellows 94, 96 connected to the conduit 38 and 98, 100 connected to the conduit 40. If one wheel moves upwardly, due to a bump, the other wheel on the same side moves downwardly and, in Fig. 1, the pressure in space 52 increases moving the pistons 56 and 54 upwardly, whereby the wheels on the opposite side also move upwardly. Roll forces on cornering and loading forces act on the wheels jointly and thus against the control spring and pitch forces act against the coil springs 36 which may be disposed remotely from the suspension units, e.g. a single spring may be used at the centre of a beam axle.

Abstract: 1,163,820. Agglomerating and drying apparatus. PILLSBURY CO. 7 Nov., 1967 [7 Nov., 1966], No. 50454/67. Heading A2E. [Also in Division F4] Apparatus for fluidizing, agglomerating and drying pulverulent material, e.g. sodium tricalcium acetate, spray-dried tomato powder or a dried soybean milk substitute, comprises a housing 30, Figs. 1 and 3, in which agglomeration and predrying are effected, connected by a duct 32 to a housing 33, in which final drying and cooling of the agglomerates are effected. In each housing is disposed a pair of spaced apart gas-permeable, foraminous screens, namely a lower, material-supporting screen 90 and an upper, e.g. domeshaped, screen 76 in the housing 30, and a lower material-supporting screen 58 and an upper screen 59 in the housing 33. The two housings are each vibrated by mechanisms 34. An agglomerating atmosphere, e.g. a mixture of heated air and steam, is fed, through the right-hand duct 128 Fig. 3, into the space below the screen 90 in the housing 30, and a heated drying gas, such as air, is fed in through the other two ducts 128. The agglomerating atmosphere and drying gas pass upwardly through the screen 90 into the space between it and the screen 76. A gas, such as hot dry air, is fed into the housing 30, through ducts 77, to form a boundary layer of gas inside the upper portion or hood 66 of the housing, and passes through the screen 76 into the said space between it and the screen 90, from which space used gases are discharged through an outlet 79. A hot drying gas, e.g. hot air, is fed through ducts (53) Fig. 2 (not shown) and cool gas is fed through ducts (55) below the screen into the housing 33. These gases pass through the screen 58 into the space between the screens 58 and 59. A gas, e.g. air, is fed, through ducts 61, into the upper part of the housing 33 to form a boundary layer of gas inside said upper part, and passes, through the screen 59, into the said space between it and the screen 58, from which space used gases are discharged through an outlet 56. The principal function of the gas forming each boundary layer and passing through each of the upper screens 76 and 59 is to prevent deposition of particles of material on the inner surfaces of the upper portions of the housings 30 and 33, and on said upper screens. Dried and cooled aggregates are discharged from the housing 33 through an outlet 60. Any dust which passes downwardly through the screen 58 is discharged through an outlet 62.
