Title: Improvements in or relating to golf putters
Inventor: CALDWELL STANLEY BENSON
IPC: A63B53/04
Filed: 1967-09-09
Abstract: 1,209,466. Golf putter construction. S. B. CALDWELL. 30 Aug., 1968 [9 Sept., 1967], No. 41266/67. Heading A6D.  As shown in the drawings, a putter comprises a head A and a shaft B. The head comprises a striking face 10, a heel 11, a toe 12, and, medially disposed between the heel and toe, and upwardly and rearwardly extending spheroidal enlargement 13 whereby the medial area of the striking face 10 is of increased depth as compared with the heel and toe parts of the head. The shaft B is attached to the head A at an angle, e.g. of between 50 and 60, to the general longitudinal axis of the head. A characteristic feature of the putter is that the line of the axis Y of the shaft intersects the transverse axis X (Figs. 1 and 5) of spheroidal enlargement 13. The spheroidal enlargement 13 smoothly merges into the rear and upper surfaces of the head A (Figs. 4 and 5), and the head extends uniformly on each side of its transverse centre line. The striking face 10 is formed with a slight rearward inclination or loft and the sole 14 of the head is curved from the heel 11 to the toe 12 (Figs. 2 and 5). The head A may be provided with a slot E which extends behind and parallel with the medial part of the striking face 10 and renders it more resilient in use. The shaft B is attached to the body portion D of the head by means of a socket 16 formed therein at an appropriate angle and location.

Abstract: Fibres of aromatic polyesters, cellulose-2 1/2 -and tri-acetates, polyolefins and acrylonitrile polymers are treated with dyes or optical brightening agents containing at least one residue of an addition compound of an aliphatically bound aldehyde group with sodium bisulphite or sulphoxylic acid, said dye or brightener being, otherwise, free from -SO3H and -COOH groups.  The preferred residue being -CH(OH)SO3M where M is an alkali metal cation and it may be attached in a number of specified ways.  The dyes may be applied as aqueous solutions at pH 4-8 which may also contain soap, non-ionic emulsifiers, anionic dispersants and carriers for polyester fibres. It is assumed that the dye is absorbed by the fibre in its water-insoluble aldehyde form.  A large number of dyes and one brightening agent are listed in the examples.

Abstract: 1,032,446. Ion sources. EUROPEAN ATOMIC ENERGY COMMUNITY (EURATOM). Oct. 25, 1963 [Oct. 29, 1962], No. 42267/63. Heading H1D. [Also in Division G6] A conductive medium having, for example, a density less than 10<SP>-4</SP> gms. cm.<SP>-3</SP>, is produced by introducing a powdered material on to one of a pair of oppositely charged facing electrodes, arranged in a vacuum such that the movement of the powder between the electrodes produced by its electrification causes some of it to be ejected as a powder stream from between the electrodes, and irradiating the stream with electromagnetic radiation to produce rapid volatilization and ionization. A high potential difference applied across electrodes 3 and 4 in the evacuated enclosure 1 causes powdered material 10-e.g. lithium and aluminium hydride-to move between the electrodes, some of it issuing down through the aperture 11. A very high current discharge is passed between the aluminium electrodes 14, in circuit with a capacitor 17 and spark-gap 18, the capacitance being chosen to provide radiation 20 of a frequency corresponding to maximum absorption by the powder material, which is volatilized and ionized thereby before appreciable spreading of the beam can occur, to provide a very high density beam of charged particles. Applications referred to include the supply of fusion nuclear reactors, space propulsion and plasma guns.

Abstract: 1,184,080. Interferometers. OPTOMECHANISMS Inc. Sept.19, 1967, No.42590/67. Heading G2J. An interferometer comprises a glass prism having a first face 1 at which an inclined incident beam A is refracted towards a semi-silvered surface 2 giving rise to a reflected beam B, and a transmitted beam C, beam B being reflected back along its path to surface 2 by silvered surface 4, while beam C is also returned to surface 2 after reflection at axially movable corner reflector 5 and externally silvered face 3 of the prism, the resulting interference between beams B and C being measured by photo-detectors at 10. Surface 6 is diffusing to prevent multiple internal reflections. In another form, a single movable mirror returns beam C directly to semi-silvered face 2, face 3 in this case being diffusing. The direction of motion of reflector 5 is shown by introducing a quarter-wavelength retardation over half the wavefront.

Abstract: 1,236,434. Surface aeration of liquids. WELLES PRODUCTS CORP. 10 Sept., 1968 [20 Sept., 1967], No. 43057/68. Heading B1C. In a surface aeration system in which liquid or sludge is aerated by projection into the atmosphere as by a propeller 20, air may be added below the propeller to reduce the bulk density of the sludge; the amount of air added controls the amount of liquid projected and hence the power requirement of the motor so that a single speed motor can be used irrespective of the viscosity of the incoming sludge. Variation in the amount of sludge discharged also enables the rate of oxygen transfer in the atmosphere to be controlled. As shown the air is induced through an intake 34, pipe 32, ring manifold 38 and discharge pipes 40, its flow rate being controlled by a remotely controlled valve 36. The aerator is supported by a float 10 of stainless steel or polyester. (For Figure see next page)

A fluid-actuated escapement includes a housing 21 and a displaceable member 23 together defining a chamber 25, at least one fluid inlet aperture 30 in the housing opening into the chamber, means 42 biasing the displaceable member into an initial position, a fluid outlet 34 leading from the chamber, a valve 40 actuated by the displaceable member and arranged to close the outlet aperture when the displaceable member is in its initial position and to open after a predetermined displacement of the member from the initial position to allow the fluid to discharge and the member to snap back to its initial position. The displaceable member is connected to the valve 40, which co-operates with a sealing ring 43 and ports 46, through a spring 48 enabling the lost-motion between a cup 41 and the valve 40 to be taken up and carries a pawl 15 causing intermittent rotation of a ratchet 16 coupled to switch actuating discs on a shaft 18. The pawl may be of a form different from that shown and the displacement member be constructed as a solid piston loaded by an external leaf spring. The fluid supply to the escapement is controlled by a valve having a closure member formed either by the shaft 18 or by a separate screw-actuated shaft fitted with a calibrated control knob. Alternatively, a cam-controlled pilot valve may be used in conjunction with a main valve controlling the fluid supply.

Title: Coated titanium dioxide pigment
Inventor: MOODY JOHN ROBERT
IPC: C09C1/36
Filed: 1962-11-20
Abstract: TiO2 pigment is double-coated by forming a suspension of TiO2 in a solution of a metal or Si compound, and precipitating the oxide on to the TiO2, then repeating the process, either by adding further compound, or by separating and resuspending the once-coated TiO2. The coatings may be the same or different, or mixtures of, the oxides of Al, Ti, Ce, Cr and Si. The amounts of oxide on each coating may be 0.2-5%, 0.2-5%, 0.1-2%, 0.3-5%, and 0.1-2% respectively by weight of the pigment. The TiO2 may be in anatase or rutile form, preferably at least 90% rutile, and may be pre-heated at at least 700 DEG  C.  It is then suspended in water in the presence of a dispersing agent, e.g. Na silicate, hexametaphosphate, polyphosphate, or hydroxide, and the solution e.g. of metal sulphate or Na silicate is added. Alkali, e.g. Na2CO3 or NaOH is used to precipitate metal oxides.  The silicate is preferably used together with metal salts so that these effect precipitation of SiO2.  If the once-coated TiO2 is separated, it may be dried below 250 DEG  C. and milled.  Preferably, the total coating consists of the oxides of Al with Ti or Zr, and possibly Si. The examples relate to the use of a mixture of Al, Ti and Si compounds for both coatings.  Further coatings may be applied, with oxides as described, or AlPO4, or with polyols, e.g. trimethylolpropane or pentaerythritol, olefin oxides, e.g. ethylene oxide, amines or their salts, e.g. thriethanolamine, epoxy resins, surface active agents, carboxylic acids, e.g. oleic or lauric, soaps and other carboxylic esters, silanes, or polysiloxanes. The pigment may then be heated at 700-800 DEG  C., and provided with a further oxide coating.
