Abstract: 611,075. Motor-vehicle frames. FORD MOTOR CO., Ltd. Feb. 21, 1946, No. 5434. Convention date, March 16, 1945. [Class 79 (iv)] [Also in Group XXXIV] In a motor vehicle the cross-shaft for brake and clutch operating mechanism is supported by an auxiliary frame member disposed parallel to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle, one end of which is secured to the frame X member and the other end to the frame side member near the front end thereof. The brake master cylinder and the anchorage for the clutch-operating shaft may conveniently be mounted on opposite sides of the auxiliary frame member, whereby forces exerted in actuating the brakes and clutch tend to balance one another so far as the auxiliary frame member is concerned. The cross-shaft 15 is carried by the auxiliary frame member 13 whose ends are attached to the X member 11 and the front end of the side member 10. The auxiliary frame member 13 is of channel section, Fig. 2, and the stationary cross-shaft 15 is supported therein by a pair of bell-shaped pressings 31, 32 having axial flanges 36 to which the shaft is welded, and peripheral flanges 33, 34 which are spot-welded together and bolted to the frame. The clutch pedal 18 actuates the clutch-operating shaft 26 and the brake pedal 19 actuates the brake master cylinder 29, the shaft 26 and cylinder 29 being mounted on opposite sides of the auxiliary frame member 13 as shown, to minimize strain on the member 13.

Title: Improvements in or relating to machines suitable for moulding shoe uppers
IPC: A43D8/00
Filed: 1953-02-27
Abstract: 742,725. Moulding shoe uppers. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO., Ltd., BAGSHAW, C. M., and KIRK, L. D. Feb. 26, 1954 [Feb. 27, 1953], No. 5489/53. Class 17 (1). A machine for moulding toe end portions of shoe uppers while unsupported by a last comprises an outer mould 7 over which the upper is placed, an inner mould 46, a member 17 for holding the upper against the outer mould prior to the commencement of moulding, means for effecting relative movement between the inner and outer moulds to press the upper into the outer mould, and means for positioning the upper relatively to the outer mould. Means are provided to move the outer mould towards the member 17 yieldingly to clamp the upper, the subsequent relative movement between the moulds causing the upper to slip from between the member 17 and the outer mould. The upper may be positioned by means engaging an outer edge of the toe portion, or the throat portion, of the upper. The outer mould 7 is adjustable forwardly and rearwardly, by a screw 13, on a supporting plate 5 which has four pins 3 slidably mounted in a bed plate 1 supported on a yieldingly supported post. The clamping plate 17 is secured to spindles 19 having reduced parts 21 slidable in plate 1, and is urged downwardly by springs 23, the tension of which may be adjusted by means of nuts 27. In the construction shown in Fig. 3, wherein the upper is introduced from the rear of the moulds, the upper positioning members 31 are pivoted at 29 and adjusted by means of screws 34, marks 37 on plate 17 assisting the operator to adjust members 31 and position the upper. Mould 7 is raised on plate 5 to clamp the upper margin against plate 17 by means of arms 39 on a shaft 41 which is rotated by means of a hand lever 43. The machine is then started, whereupon the inner mould 46, which is preferably heated, is moved downwardly to shape the upper. After a time sufficient for the upper to set in its moulded condition the machine is again started to return the inner mould. The outer mould is then returned by means of the hand lever 43. In the construction shown in Fig. 4, wherein the upper is presented from the front of the moulds, the toeward portion of the throat 65 of the upper 63 is engaged by an interchangeable template 61 received on pins 59 on a block 51 adjustable by means of slot 55, screw 53, and nut 57 on a bracket 47 secured to the front of plate 1. Specification 525,288, [Group VIII], is referred to.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture and production of valuable liquid products from tars, petroleums and the like containing asphaltic or resinous matter
IPC: C10G55/04
Filed: 1931-02-23
Abstract: Liquid hydrocarbons of high boiling point are freed from asphaltic and resinous substances by adding organic liquid p  precipitants and/or coagulant electrolytes; the purified product is subjected to a destructive heat treatment, with or without hydrogen.  Suitable precipitants are saturated aliphatic or hydroaromatic hydrocarbons, benzine, paraffin oil, gas oil, alcohols, or esters.  Suitable electrolytes are hydrochloric, sulphuric, phosphoric, or other inorganic or organic acids, in aqueous or organic solution, such as benzine; or solutions of salts such as aluminium chloride, potassium bisulphate, or sodium chloride.  When using coagulants, a diluent such as benzene may be added to reduce the viscosity of the material to be treated.  The precipitated asphalt may be removed by filtration, decantation, or centrifuging, and used as road binder, briquette pitch, or fuel. Specification 345,738 is referred to.
Patent GB-731673-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to silicone resin solutions
Filed: 1952-03-04
Abstract: A composition comprises a solution in a trialkylamine in which each alkyl group has two or three carbon atoms, of a gelled organopolysiloxane resin, i.e. a resin which is infusible and insoluble in hydrocarbon and alcohol solvents, in which the organic groups are attached to silicon atoms by carbon-silicon bonds.  The solution may contain from 1 to 40 per cent, preferably 20 to 35 per cent, by weight of the resin.  Solution may be effected by mixing the gelled resin and amine and may be hastened by heating.  The solutions may be used to deposit films which are of superior heat resistance to those from the ungelled resin and from solutions of the gelled resin in benzyl trimethyl ammonium butoxide in which the gelled resin also dissolves.  In examples the effect of various solvents on the gelled resin is described. A toluene-butanol mixture and tributylamine gave swollen gels, diethyl amine and ethylene diamine partially dissolved the gel, and triethylamine and benzyl trimethyl ammonium butoxide gave solutions.  The resin gel was obtained by evaporating to dryness a toluene solution of the hydrolyzate of allyltrichlorosilane, methyltrichlorosilane, phenyltrichlorosilane and dimethyldichlorosilane in the molar proportions 1 : 7 : 1 : 1. The triethylamine solution gave light-coloured heat-stable films while those from the benzyltrimethyl ammonium butoxide gave dark tacky films smelling of an amine.  In a further example a gelled resin from methyltrichlorosilane and phenyl trichlorosilane was dissolved in triethylamine.  Specifications 542,655, 544,143, 548,911, 551,649 and 597,834 are referred to.

Title: Process for the hydrogenation of carbon monoxide
Inventor: ROTTIG WALTER
IPC: C07C1/04
Filed: 1956-10-15
Abstract: In the catalytic hydrogenation of carbon monoxide at pressures above 8 atmospheres absolute high molecular weight products are extracted from the catalyst at intervals by means of a solvent for such products, the solvent being fed into the reactor in the liquid phase without stopping the synthesis reaction whilst the residence time of the solvent is such that it does not undergo cracking or degradation. The preferred extraction medium is a liquid formed in the process containing at least 75% of material boiling between 180 and 320 DEG C.  The extraction is preferably effected at intervals, not more than 48 hours and lasting less than 60 minutes.  It can be applied to fixed bed, fluidised bed, moving bed or slurried catalysts.
