Title: Improvements in or relating to the wet treatment of artificial silk
IPC: D01D10/04
Filed: 1938-10-27
Abstract: 520,645. Dyeing &e. apparatus. CALLEBAUT, C., and BLICQUY, J. DE. Oct. 27, 1938, No. 31028. [Class 15 (i)] A device for supporting cakes of textile fibre such as artificial silk during treatment with liquids comprises a base plate carrying a number of columns in spaced relationship and parallel to each other. The plate is perforated within the area delimited by the columns for the passage of liquids. A number of cakes are placed over the columns and the cakes are separated from each other by plates carrying pegs or distance pieces. These plates are cut away so that they may be placed over the columns carried by the base plate. These plates with their distance pieces serve to seal the ends of the cakes and to relieve a cake from the weight of superposed cakes. The base plate may also support a perforated tube disposed within the columns, spaced therefrom, and open at the bottom for access of liquid. Liquid may be passed outwardly or inwardly through the cakes. As shown in Fig. 1, a tube 1 perforated for passage of scouring or dyeing liquid is provided with spaced fingers or columns 4 with inwardly curved portions 4a. The tube may be carried from a spindle 3. The columns are mounted on plate 5. As shown in Fig. 3, a central imperforate tube 6 is mounted on base plate 7 perforated at 8 for passage of liquid. The plate 7 carries columns 9. As shown in Figs. 5, 7, a carrier plate 10 has. a central opening 12 with notches 13 to allow passage of the plate over the columns 4 or 9. The plate has upstanding fingers 11 which act as 'distance pieces for the cakes when arranged in column form, and upon which weights may be placed. If desired, the fingers 11 may be arranged to be outside the cake and they may project downwardly from the plate. The device is applicable to the treatment of viscose or cellulose acetate, or other artificial silk. When treating cellulose acetate cakes, a slight axial pressure is applied to each plate 10 so as to avoid the possibility of any channels for the free passage of liquid through the cake. When treating viscose cakes, this additional pressure axially of the columns may be 'omitted and the distance pieces may be equal to the height of the cake.

An aerial electric line support comprises at least one pole resting on a swivel joint on the ground and held transversely of the line on one side by at least one stay and on the opposite side by the pulls resulting from the weight and tension of the line conductors at least one line conductor being supported by a member which is hinged to the upper part of said pole. The pole 1 rests on a swivel joint on a base plate 2 and is held by stays 3 secured at one end to collars 5 encircling the pole and anchored at their other ends 4 to the ground. A carrier 7, e.g. a metal rod articulated to one collar 5 carries three pairs of insulators 12 to which are secured respectively three phase conductors 9, 10, 11. A carrier 6 articulated to the second collar 5 carries a conductor 8 which may be earthed at each support. Each line conductor forms a series of obtuse angles in plan with their vertices at the supports. In a modification, only one or one pair of stays may be provided arranged in the plane bisecting the angle formed by the conductors. In this arrangement, the pole may be oblique with its foot under the conductors and the stay vertical. The conductors 9, 10, 11, may be suspended by rods 16 from rods 13, 14, 15 slung between two poles 1 held by stays 3, Fig. 5. The neutral conductor is supported by a stirrup 20. Additional lines may be added at the side by putting up a further pole with conductor rods and stay and removing the stay from the original pole. In a similar arrangement, Fig. 6 (not shown), the poles may be inclined and the stays vertical. At intervals a pair of stays converging at the top of a pole may be provided e.g. as shown in Fig. 7, where two poles 1 are each supported by two pairs of stays 3. Conductors 9, 10, 11 are supported by insulators 22 carried by triangles formed by rods 21 suspended from poles 1. A cable 23 connecting the tops of poles 1 supports the neutral line 8. In a modification, Fig. 8 (not shown), the poles 1 are inclined and the pairs of stays are vertical. The poles may consist, Fig. 9, of tubular concrete pieces 24 and triangular plates 25 with holes near their corners held together by six reinforcements formed by three rods bent to form loops at the lower end of the pole. The reinforcements are tensioned at the upper end of the pole and are held by an anchorage piece 29 protected by a detachable cap 34. A concrete collar 35 is provided to support the articulated supports for the conductors. The loops at the lower end of the pole are embedded in concrete 32 covered by a cup 31 which forms the head of the swivel joint. The rods of the suspension systems may be connected by rings on which the ends of the rods are hooked. Otherwise plates may be provided to which the forked ends of the rods are secured. In these two arrangements the conductor 8 may be supported respectively on one or two stirrups. Specification 224,506 [Class 20(i)] is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to starter jaw meshing mechanism
IPC: F02N15/02
Filed: 1945-11-22
Abstract: 610,834. Turning-gear. JACK & HEINTZ, Inc. Nov. 22, 1945, No. 31485. Convention date, Dec. 6, 1944. [Class 7 (v)] In an engine starter, Fig. 1, the shaft 3 carrying the sun gear 5 and steep-pitched thread 15 is driven through the ring gear 4 by an electric motor 2, and the sleeve 10, to which the starter jaw 12 is slidably keyed, is attached to the spider carrying the planet gears 6 which also engage a torque-limiting clutch assembly 8 so that as the starter commences to rotate the relative speed between the shaft 3 and sleeve 10 causes the nut 25, which is frictionally engaged with the jaw 12 at its conical end 26, to advance toward the engine jaw member 12<1>, the spring 21 causing the jaw 12 to follow up until it engages the jaw member 121 when the frictional engagement between the nut 25 and jaw 12 is broken and the nut ceases to advance. When the engine starts and the starter is deenergized and comes to rest, the spring 32, which is stronger than spring 21, pulls the nut 25 back along the thread 15, relative rotation between the members 25 and 12 taking place during the camming action of the member 12<1> on the member 12. In the modification shown in Fig. 3, the action and drive of the parts is similar to the above-described embodiment, but the jaw advancing spring has its left-hand end bearing on a member 41 carried on the nut 42 so that the springs 40 and 45 do not act in opposition and the working of the mechanism does not therefore rely on their relative strengths. Specifications 550,689 and 564,995 are referred to as describing torque-limiting clutches that may be used.
