Title: Device for applying liners of thermoplastic material to closure caps or the like
Inventor: BUSI ETTORE
IPC: B21D51/46
Filed: 1970-07-29
Abstract: 1,255,118. Moulding liners to closure caps. E. BUSI. 29 July, 1970 [29 July, 1969], No. 36787/70. Heading B5A. A device for moulding coatings of thermoplastic material in closure caps comprises a rotary platform 9, Fig. 2, with vertically displaceable plungers 12 therearound on each of which is received a cap containing a warmed, metered quantity of plastic material, and a rotary plate 10 with fixed liquid cooled plungers 19 coaxial with the plungers 12. The platform and plate are fixed to a driven shaft 1 and when caps have been delivered by a feed wheel 36 to the lower plungers, whose ends engage a cam track 16, the rotation of the assembly is followed by the raising of the lower plungers, Fig. 4, to compressively shape the material in the caps. Each fixed plunger 19 is hollow and is cooled by a liquid emitter from a tube 20 supplied from a shaft passage 24 and passages 124, 22; such liquid is exhausted via annular passage 21, passages 23, 128 and a further shaft passage 28. The hollow plunger is surrounded by an annular plunger 29 downwardly urged by a spring 30 and forced upwardly during the moulding stage and provided with a groove 129 which, in co-operation with the lower face of the hollow plunger determines the shape of the moulding, Fig. 4. A tubular stripper 31 surrounds the plungers 19, 29 and is connected to a ram 32 urged upwardly by a spring 35 against a cam track 34, Fig. 1. The two cam tracks are so orientated that after the moulding step the stripper is forced downwardly to engage the cap and free it from the plunger 29, Fig. 5, not shown.

Patent GB-371874-A (GB)
Abstract: 371,874. Calculating-machines. SANDERS, N., 19, Rue de Richelieu, Paris. Jan. 23, 1931, No. 2281. Convention date, Feb. 15, 1930. [Class 106 (i).] A calculating-machine is modified for determining the number of coupons in a series, the setting of the machine for this work resulting in unity being added automatically to the difference derived from the first and last numbers of the series. A finger-lever 1 when displaced prevents the printing of digits in the decimal denominations and also removes a locking projection 4 from below a pin on a key 6. By depression of this key the linkage 11, 12, 14 and shaft 16 are moved so as to trip the transfer device pertaining to the units denomination with the result that in the ensuing operation the difference between the first and last numbers will be larger by one unit.

Title: Production of surface coatings by electro-deposition
Inventor: MELL CEDRIC CHARLES
IPC: B65G49/04
Filed: 1963-09-24
Abstract: For electro-depositing coatings thereon, a continuous row of articles with conductive surfaces is fed progressively through an aqueous electrodeposition bath so that each article engages successively a series of contacts connected to different potentials of an electric supply, whereby substantially the whole flow of current to the articles being treated passes between adjacent pairs of articles, and the potentials operative between the articles of each pair are reversed during deposition while travelling through the bath.  To ensure uniform deposition on articles of complex shape additional fixed electrodes may be provided, e.g. adjacent the tank for rows of articles fed through the bath in parallel streams. Preferably the different potentials applied form a series of progressing values and a further series of opposite gradient may be provided to provide for deposition on the opposite faces of the articles.  Although applicable to electro-plating, as described the articles are electro-phoretically coated with film-forming synthetic resin compositions from aqueous solutions or dispersions. The organic coating may be deposited initially under low voltages such that the thickness increases progressively and then under higher voltages so that the coating resistance increases and the water content of the coating is reduced as in Specification 1,081,767. The two coating stages may be employed to deposit a primer and a finish coating. More than two such stages may be provided.  In one arrangement Fig.1 (not shown) steel articles suspended from an insulating conveyer are passed through the electro-phoretic bath to engage successively contacts at potentials O, V, 2V, 3V, 2V, V, O, 10V, O where V is up to 10 volts D.C. to form a firmly adhered coating that can be washed with a jet of water.  In another arrangement Fig.2 (not shown) articles of steel which have been electroplated with zinc are similarly conveyed through a coating bath and are subjected to a similar initial rising and falling sequence of potentials from an A.C. source and is then subjected to a higher voltage from a D.C. source to harden and de-water the coating.  The resin coating materials may be alkyd resins or maleinized oils or fatty acids, either of which may also be mixed with or modified by phenolic resins or components; vinyl polymers including acrylate polymers; copolymers of the above materials; epoxy or ether- or polyhydroxy-modified alkyd resins; or styrenebutadiene copolymers.  Pigments such as red iron oxide, carbon black, and titanium dioxide may also be included in the bath which may also include anionic surfactants.  The coatings are finally dried in air or in an oven.

Abstract: 523,233. Turning-gear. LANGE, A., and LERP, E. Dec. 29, 1938, No. 37730. [Class 7 (v)] In a starting-device for the engines of tree-felling devices, in which a pulling element such as a chain 8 is secured to a freely rotatable starting disc 6 permanently connected by a return spring 7 to the starter housing 5, the disc 6 is connected to a self-winding helical spring 9 which at its other end is connected to a friction ring 10 in yieldable frictional connection with the housing 5. As shown, the chain 8 is guided between wheels 26 and terminates in a handle 24 having a conical part 25 normally closing an opening 23 in the casing 5, which is bolted to the engine housing 1. The friction ring 10 is loosely guided in the housing 5 and is provided externally with brake blocks 20 pressed by springs against the housing. The brake blocks are guided by collars 21 of the ring 10 and by screws 22. On pulling the chain 8 the spring 9 grips the drum 3 and transmits drive to the engine shaft, the ring 10 also rotating and the brake blocks 20 slipping over the casing 5. In the case of a backward turn of the engine shaft, the spring 9 unwinds from and releases the drum 3 and comes into engagement with the ring 10, which is held by the brake blocks.

A radar radome 7 of hollow spherical form comprises a shell 10 made of plastics material and a shell 9 made of steel. The two shells are bolted together and are swivellably mounted on a shaft 14 which is fixed in a supporting structure 12. As described, the radome 7 is contained in a part-spherical inwardly-directed recess in the front of the turret of an armoured vehicle. A radar set 3 includes an aerial 4 and a directing mechanism 5 and is mounted on the shaft 14, inside the radome 7. The shell 9 has journals 11 with bores 13 for the shaft 14, and a member 15 at one end which is engaged by a device 16 for rotating the radome. When the radar is in use, the shell 10 projects outwardly, but, if it is desired to protect the equipment, the radome 7 is rotated by 180 degrees, so that the steel shell 9 projects outwardly. The radome may be partially rotated in steps of 180 degrees, and it may be arranged for the radar aerial to be rotated in unison with the radome.
