In an arrangement for measuring the tensile stress in a material passing over a roller, the roller is mounted on a first pair of plates 4, 5 which are spaced from and secured to a second pair of plates 1, 2 by four leaf springs 7, whereby the vertical components of the force on the roller due to the material is absorbed by the springs but the horizontal component displaces the first pair of plates parallel to the second, a pair of rigid arms 8, 9 secured to the first plates being employed, by way of bolts 12, 13, support 14 and arms 15, 16 to transmit the force to a pair of magneto-strictive elements 18 which are secured to the second set of plates by support 17. In a modified arrangement, Figs. 3 and 4 (not shown), one rigid arm is secured to the first pair of plates, the other is secured to the second pair of plates and a single magneto-strictive element is supported by bolts and thrust washers between the arms.

Title: Dry lubrication
IPC: F16N15/00
Filed: 1979-01-15
Abstract: A method of providing lubrication between surfaces by applying layers of lubricant on a substrate 1, a first of the layers 3 being rigidly bonded to the substrate and a subsequent layer 4 being non-rigidly bonded to an adjacent layer so that two surfaces thus treated and facing one another have between them rigid lubricant layers and an intermediate non-rigid layer, thereby reducing the friction on relative movement of the surfaces.

Filed: 1979-01-30
Abstract: A roll grooving tool includes a pair of rolls (2 and 3) rotatable about substantially parallel axes, one of the rolls (3) being motor driven and the other (2) freely rotatable. One of the rolls (2) is provided with a peripheral flange (10) and the other (3) with a peripheral recess (11), and one of the rolls (2) is movable towards the other (3) such that with a pipe (13) mounted over one roll (3) and with the wall of the pipe (13) pressed into the nip between the rolls, rotation of the rolls causes an inwardly-directed circumferential groove to be roll- formed in the pipe wall between the flanges (10) of the one roll and the recess (11) of the other roll. The roll axes are slightly offset laterally, the arrangement being such that during the groove-forming rotation of the rolls, the force acting on the roll with the peripheral flange (10) towards the roll with the peripheral recess (11) is in a direction passing through that part of the pipe wall leaving the nip between the rolls.   <IMAGE>

Title: Method of producing textile fabric
IPC: D04B23/10
Filed: 1979-07-18
Abstract: A stitch-bonded fabric is produced from a non-woven fleece 20 on a known stitch-bonding machine inserting in the fleece warp rows e.g. of simple chain stitches using warp thread 19 lapped by thread guides 16 into hooks 9 of needles 5 in which the opening and closing of the hooks is controlled by slide wires 11. The operation of the machine is modified by the depositing of transversely- extending fibres or yarns e.g. in the form of a second non-woven fleece 23 on the sheet of warp threads 19 which carry this second fleece towards the needles so that fibres from leading end 23a of the second fleece engage in the open hooks whereby loops are formed in these fibres by retraction of the needles, and on knocking over, these loops interengage with the warp chain stitches formed simultaneously. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for preparation of glycidyl ester of acrylic acid
IPC: C07D301/30
Filed: 1979-07-19
Abstract: In the reaction of acrylic or methacrylic acid with an epihalohydrin to produce a glycidyl ester, problems have arisen with use of organic solvents and with the formation of water in the reaction medium when the starting acid has been neutralised with an alkali metal salt. These problems are counteracted by adding the starting acid gradually to a stoichiometric excess of epihalohydrin containing a stoichiometric excess of alkali metal carbonate and/or bicarbonate in suspension therein, distilling a water-epihalohydrin azeotrope as the water is formed, and then introducing a catalyst for the esterification carrying out the esterification with the residual epihalohydrin. The esterification reaction is carried out substantially anhydrously and the process is carried out without the use of an organic solvent.

Patent GB-2037941-A (GB)
Title: Balancing Rotary Members
IPC: G01M1/24
Filed: 1979-11-15
Abstract: A rotary member, such as an internal combustion engine crankshaft 1, is balanced by applying to peripheral surfaces of balancing weight parts 4 balancing masses 5 built-up by welding. Unbalance may be detected by apparatus 6 and welding core wire 10 deposited at 5 on lines Y-Y. The peripheral surfaces of the balancing weight parts 4 may be provided with slots, recesses or projections (15) Figs. 5 to 8 (not shown) to prevent thermal stress during the welding. There is thereby avoided the difficulty, arising in proposed balancing methods wherein unbalance is compensated for by drilling the balancing weight parts, that drilling has to be effected prior to heat treatment of the member and consequently there is no compensation for unbalance resulting from deformation during heat treatment. Also avoided is the problem which arises where soldering is used to apply balancing masses, in that the solder is liable to separate from the member. <IMAGE>

Title: Process for Manufacturing a Self-Adhesive Plastics Product
IPC: C09J7/04
Filed: 1980-03-10
Abstract: A moving web e.g. of silicone- treated kraft paper 1,2 has an adhesive layer 3 to which a plastics layer 4 from an extruder 8 is applied. The layer 4 may be applied when molten; alternatively immediately prior to its application it may be cooled by means of a cooling roller (10) and/or an air brush (9) until semi- solid or solid. Adhesion and/or spreading of the plastics material is effected by means of rollers 6,7. The process may also include application of a net or fabric (16) to the web 1,2 prior to the plastics layer 4, or of a net, fabric or aluminium foil to the newly- applied semi-solid layer 4, to which it adheres without any adhesive. A resulting self-adhesive foil tape may be useful in insulation. In-situ production of the plastics layer 4 can give a thinner layer and a cheaper product than use of preformed film. <IMAGE>
