Abstract: 478,365. Inspection covers ; -hinges. COWDREY, C. L., and TATE, J. W. July 20, 1936, No. 20043. [Class 107] [Also in Group XXV] A cover C for a hole in the cowling A of an aircraft or other vehicle is supported from the inside of the cowling in such manner that it can be moved inwards and then swung about an axis in a transverse direction to uncover the hole. The outer surface of the cover normally lies flush with that of the cowling. In the construction shown, a bracket E is riveted to the cover and carries a bolt F which passes through the boss G<2> of a bracket G riveted to the cowling. A spring H bears against the end of the bracket G and also against the head H<1> of the bolt F, thus urging the cover towards the closed position shown. The head projects through a small opening in the cowling. In order to uncover the opening, the bolt is depressed by means of a screwdriver thus moving the cover inwardly, and is then turned to swing the cover clear of the opening.

Title: Improvements relating to the anti-shrink treatment of materials consisting wholly orpartly of wool or like animal fibres
IPC: D06M11/50
Filed: 1944-10-24
Abstract: The tendency to felt of materials consisting wholly or partly of wool or like animal fibres, e.g. yarn, fabrics or garments, is reduced by immersing them for a few minutes in a bath containing an aqueous solution of potassium or sodium permanganate and acid, the pH value of which is not more than 2.0.  The treatment may be effected at room temperature or higher temperatures. Discolouration of the materials may be subsequently removed by treatment in an acidified solution of a reducing agent such as sodium sulphite or sodium bisulphite or by hydrogen peroxide, or by strong acid, and the materials may be treated with acid prior to treatment with the reducing agent.  In an example, wool socks are scoured with soap, rinsed, and immersed for 1 to 2 minutes in an aqueous solution of potassium permanganate containing sulphuric acid at 20 DEG  C. and at a pH of 1.5 to 1.7. The socks are then rinsed, bleached in an aqueous solution of sodium bisulphite, and, if desired, rinsed in a solution of soap and ammonia. Specification 5612/07, [Class 15], is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to coin-operated devices
IPC: G07F15/00
Filed: 1935-07-19
Abstract: 445,606. Coin-freed apparatus. BRITISH SANGAMO CO., Ltd., and BUTHERUS, F. R., Cambridge Arterial Road, Enfield, Middlesex. July 19, 1935, No. 20653. [Class 27] Coin action with stationary coin forming abutment ; coin-discharging mechanism.-A coin inserted into a coin-freed apparatus passes into a chamber positioned so that a bent coin if forced therein is tested and frees the apparatus, the chamber having at least one wall free to move in order to accommodate a bent coin, the walls being subsequently further separated in order to discharge the coin. As applied to the meter prepayment mechanism described in Specification 445,546, in which a coin, inserted through a slot 37 in the casing, passes into a stationary pocket where its diameter is gauged by the head 17 of an axially slidable rod 11, the said pocket comprises spaced parallel plates 31, 32 having flared upper ends for receiving the coin. The plate 31 is fixed, whilst the plate 32 is pivoted at 33 and is urged inwardly by engagement of a pin 46 on the inturned end 41 of a spring actuated pivoted lever 42, its movement being limited by abutments 34 moving in short slots 35 in end plates 3 and 4. Normally, the two plates 31, 32 are separated sufficiently to accommodate an unbent coin. If a bent coin is forced in, the plate 32 yields slightly to receive it. As the setting shaft 1 is rotated, a cam 50 geared therewith operates, through a floating annular disc 49, a lug 47 on the lever 42 which is rotated to withdraw its inturned end 41 from beneath the coin pocket to release the coin. The lever 42 is connected by means of a spring 40 with the plate 32 so that, at the same time, the plate 32 is withdrawn as far as is permitted by the slots 35 to permit a free discharge of the coin. The switch is set by mechanism operated by a pin 8 on the shaft 1 as described in Specification 445,546 and is released when prepayment is exhausted as described in Specification 414,070.

Abstract: 1,145,996. Chlorinated hydrocarbons; vinyl acetate. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. 9 May, 1966 [17 May, 1965 (2)], Nos. 20732/65 and 20733/65. Heading C2C. [Also in Division C5] Dilute acetylene or acetylene/ethylene mixtures containing unsaturated heavy hydrocarbon contaminants including at least one diolefinic or acetylenic hydrocarbon containing at least 3 carbon atoms are treated with chlorine in a liquid chlorinated hydrocarbon reaction medium which is substantially inert to chlorine under liquid phase chlorination conditions. The process may be so conducted that (a) only the impurities are chlorinated to give chlorinated hydrocarbons plus purified acetylene or acetylene/ethylene mixture; or (b) the impurities and the acetylene or acetylene and ethylene are chlorinated to give chlorinated hydrocarbons. Prior to the chlorination process the dilute contaminated mixture may be scrubbed with a solvent to remove a portion of the heavy hydrocarbon contaminants. When the chlorination process yields purified acetylene this may be subsequently reacted with hydrogen chloride to give vinyl chloride or with chlorine to give sym-tetrachloroethane. When the chlorination process yields a purified acetylene/ ethylene mixture, (a) the residual ethylene component of the mixture may subsequently be selectively chlorinated to ethylene dichloride after which the residual acetylene component is subjected to further chemical reactions e.g. conversion to vinyl chloride, vinyl acetate or trichloroethylene; or (b) the residual acetylene component of the mixture may undergo selective chemical reaction after which the residual ethylene component is chlorinated to give ethylene dichloride.

Abstract: Suppositories are formed from a mixture of insulin with a relatively large proportion of a non-irritant carrier and a small proportion of a non-irritant acid serving to protect the insulin against destruction by intestinal enzymes.  Surface-tension reducing agents may also be added to accelerate resorption of the insulin.  According to examples the carrier substance is cocoa butter, the acid is lactic acid or a mixture of lactic, citric and palmitic acids and the surface-tension reducer is a saponin. Other carriers referred to are low-melting fats, soaps, glycerol soap (fat, soap and glycerin), agar-agar, and gelatine; another suitable acid is tartaric acid; and other suitable surface-tension reducing substances are glycyrrhizines, soaps, soap-like sulphonated compounds, and alkali salts of naphthenic acids. Specifications 315,709, [Class 81 (i)], and 439,856 are referred to.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 refers also to preparations containing a surface-tension reducing agent but no acid, and to the use of acetic acid.
