Title: Improvement in micrometer gauges
IPC: G01B3/22
Filed: 1923-04-26
Abstract: 196,925. Johansson, C. E. April 26, 1923. Indicating. - Linear - dimension gauges of the type having a fixed or adjustable measuring stud, and a sliding measuring stud, are provided with two pointers, one for rough measurements and the other for accurate measurements the latter pointer becoming operative only when the rough measurement pointer moves in the vicinity of its zero. The measuring stud 4, which may comprise a number of sections screwed together, is screwed into the head 1, and is locked in adjusted position by a screw. The stud 5 actuates a pointer 10 which moves over a scale 22, and an edge 15 of the pointer 10 actuates a pointer 16, which, in the form shown, is adapted to move through ten times the distance covered by the pointer 10 for the same movement of the stud 5. A spring 12 maintains the edge 9 of the pointer 10 in contact with the stud 5, and a spring 21 keeps the pointer 16 in contact with the edge 10. Stops 13, 14 limit the range of the pointers. In operation, the stud 4 is first adjusted so that the pointers 10, 16 are each at their zero points when the distance between the ends of the studs 4, 5 gives the required diameter, and when the work is measured, the pointers 10, 16 will give rough and accurate readings respectively. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following subject matter. The correct positioning of the gauge is facilitated by the provision in the head 1 of two studs 6 secured to a sliding plate 23, which is actuated by springs 25 to move the studs 6 parallel to the sliding measuring-stud 5. The studs 6 are situated at equal distances on either side of, and their ends are located in a plane perpendicular to the direction of movement of the stud 5, so that when the gauge is in use the studs 6 will so position the head that the aligned studs 4, 5 are in a diametral plane of the tube. To ensure that the studs 4, 5 are in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the tube when readings are taken, the handle 2 is adjusted vertically until the maximum reading is obtained. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Electron-curable polyester compositions
IPC: C08G63/685
Filed: 1975-03-21
Abstract: An unsaturated, curable polyester which is dissolved in a polymerisable monomer material and whose solution has a solids content of from 30 to 95% by weight, can advantageously be used as a curable coating composition for substrates, in particular as a coating composition which is curable by means of electron beams, the resultant coatings having good elasticity. The curable polyesters present in these solutions are prepared by reacting a linear, optionally precrosslinked polyester carrying terminal oxazoline groups having the structure <IMAGE>  or in the precrosslinked form <IMAGE> with from 10 to 100 mol%, based on the hydroxyl groups of the polyester, of an ethylenically unsaturated isocyanate precursor carrying one free isocyanate group. In the above formula, R is a polyhydroxyl compound radical which remains after esterification of the hydroxyl groups, and n is greater than 2, and preferably 3. This reaction is either carried out with the polymerisable monomer already present, or the latter is added subsequently until the desired solids content has been reached.
