Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of discharge effects on materials made of or containing cellulose esters or ethers
IPC: D06P5/15
Filed: 1932-04-21
Abstract: Cellulose esters or ethers, dyeing; printing.--Pattern effects are produced on materials made of or containing cellulose esters or ethers by the application thereto, before or after colouration with a dischargeable ground colour, of a composition, preferably of acid reaction, containing a stannous compound and a leuco derivative of a vat dyestuff esterified with a di-or poly-basic acid or a salt of such esterified leuco derivative.  The stannous compound may be, for example, the chloride, chloracetate or thiocyanate and the use of a stannous thiocyanate or of a stannous compound in conjunction with a thiocyanate, as described in Specification 342,333, is particularly advantageous.  The leuco derivative may be a water-soluble salt of a sulphuric or phosphoric acid ester of a leuco-indigoid or leuco-anthraquinone vat dyestuff, e.g. one of the compounds sold under the registered Trade Marks "Indigosol" or "Soledon."  Swelling agents or assistants, e.g. hydroquinone, alcohols, organic acids, phenols or anthraquinone may be incorporated in the discharge composition. Additional dyestuffs such as the anthraquinone dyes used in the process of Specification 351,457 may also be present.  In an example, a cellulose acetate fabric, dyed with the azo dye 3 : 5-dinitro-o-anisidine --> o -oxyethyl-a -naphthylamine, is printed with an aqueous composition containing Indigosol yellow HCG, gum arabic, methylated spirit, sodium thiocyanate, citric acid and stannous chloride, and is thereafter aged, treated in an atmosphere of ammonia, steamed, washed, treated in a bath containing sodium bichromate and formic acid, washed and dried to obtain a yellow pattern on a blue ground.

Title: Toy mechanism including wind-up mechanism for a spring-driven toy
IPC: A63H29/04
Filed: 1972-03-13
Abstract: 1373876 Spring motors IDEAL TOY CORP 13 March 1972 [22 March 1971] 11672/72 Heading F2S [Also in Division A6] A winding mechanism for a spring driven toy vehicle comprises a toy vehicle supporting surface with a rotatable winder extending through it, the winder having teeth slanting in one direction to hold and wind the toy vehicle when on the platform with the winder being turned by operation of a winding handle. In one form, a handle 44, Fig. 1, is pulled back- and-forth to drive through an overload slip friction coupling 43 to a drive hub 30 having slanted ratchet teeth 34<SP>1</SP>. A toy vehicle 11 having a spring motor 12 may be placed upon a platform 72 of the winding mechanism, a driven hub 28 extending downwardly from the vehicle having similar ratchet teeth which mesh with the teeth 34<SP>1</SP>. The driven hub 28 is fast with a motor wind shaft 28, to which is secured one end of the motor spring 14. The oscillation of the handle 44 and shaft 28 winds the spring 14 on to the latter from a storage drum 16. A gear 50 fast with the motor shaft 28 meshes with a gear 52 carried by a shaft 54 slidable along a slot 58, a gear 60 on the shaft 54 being engageable with a pinion 62 to drive through a crown and pinion 64, 66 to the ground-engaging road wheels 27 of the toy vehicle. The arrangement is such that each rotation of the shaft 28 to wind up the spring 14 slides the shaft 54 along the slot 58 to disengage the gear 60 and pinion 62: thus winding is effected without rotation of the road wheels 27. A pinion 69 on the shaft 28 meshes a gear 68 fast with the spring storage drum 16, the gear 68 having a tooth portion 70 which makes an interference fit with the pinion, preventing further rotation. Thus over-winding and complete unwinding of the spring 14 is prevented by the limited rotation of the gear 68 and storage drum 16 allowed by the tooth portion 70. In another form, the winding device comprises a platform 172, Fig. 4, upon which the toy vehicle is placed to engage its driven wind hub 28 with the hub 30, oscillated as before by a handle 44 driving through a friction slip coupling 43. When the car is being wound, its rear abuts a stanchion 76. On completion of winding, the platform 172 may lie inclined about pivots 81, Fig. 6, so that the toy vehicle 11 speeds off the ramp so provided on to the ground 84. The ratchet teeth 34<SP>1</SP>, &c. on the driving and driven hubs 30, 28 are so shaped as to hold the vehicle to the platform 172 during winding. In yet another form, the handle (104), Figs. 7, 8 (not shown), drives through gears, &c. to the driving wind hub 30, and the platform (272) for the vehicle does not tilt, the handle (104) being operated from the side instead of from underneath the winder. This form is intended for use when placed upon the floor, and may provide a rapid re-wind of a toy vehicle used in a race game.

Title: Cooling systems of supercharged diesel engines
IPC: F01P5/08
Filed: 1971-04-28
Abstract: 1325526 Treating I.C. engine charges: cooling SOC ANON DE VEHICULES INDUSTRIELS ET D'EQUIPEMENTS MECANIQUES SAVIEM 28 April 1971 [29 April 1970] 12007/71 Heading F1B [Also in Division F4] Turbo supercharged Diesel engine 1 has a main engine cooling system consisting of a conventional radiator 45 connected to the engine block by pipes 46 and 47, and an independent auxiliary cooling system for the combustion air and lubricating oil. The engine exhaust gas passes along a pipe 2 to a turbine 5 mechanically connected to an air compressor 6, which supplies combustion air to the engine through a pipe 8 which passes through a heat exchanger 9. Engine lubricating oil is passed through a heat exchanger 9 which is in series with the heat exchanger 8. Both heat exchangers are part of a circuit which includes a header tank 19, flow control valves 3 and 4 and a third heat exchanger 25. Air is drawn through the third heat exchanger by an injector operated by the exhaust gas leaving the turbine. The injector comprises an annular chamber 37 which the gas enters tangentially and is then guided radially inwardly until it emerges travelling parallel to the axis of the chamber into a tube 34. The gas is accelerated within the injector so that a suction is created which draws air through the heat exchanger 25. The flow control valve 3 includes a temperature sensitive element which opens the valve at 55-60‹ C. The flow control valve 4 contains a pressure sensitive element which is acted on by the output pressure of the compressor 6, to which it is connected by a line 27. When the engine is operating near maximum power the valve 4 is opened so that the circulation of fluid in the auxiliary circuit is as rapid as possible. During low power operation when the combustion air should be at a relatively high temperature the valve 4 is closed. In a construction for use with an air cooled engine, Fig. 5 (not shown) the injector draws air directly through the heat exchangers 9 and 16, and the valves 3 and 4 control a shutter in the wall of the air duct downstream of the heat exchangers but upstream of the injector, the opening of the shutter determining the amount of air passing through the heat exchangers.

Pendulum-weight apparatus. - In a weighing machine employing a load-resistant of the rolling counterpoise type suspended by flexible bands so as to roll upon a fixed surface the counterpoise is balanced about its geometric axis, and motiontransmitting mechanism is interposed between the axis and the weight indicating mechanism to transmit the translatory movement of the counterpoise to the indicating mechanism. As shown in Fig. 1, the load-resistant comprises a roller 5 suspended by ribbons 8 so as to roll up a bracket 10. The load is applied by two ribbons 12 to cams 6 located at the ends of the drum, and the cams are balanced about the geometric axis 14 by a second pair of cams 6<a>. The cams 6, 6a may be situated between a pair of rollers 5. The axis 14 is connected by transmission mechanism to indicating and registering mechanism. In a modification, the cams roll upon the bracket 10 and the load is applied to the roller. In the form shown in Fig. 3, the pull due to the load acts in an upward direction on the cam 6. When two load-resistants are used as shown in Fig. 5, the axes of the rolling members 5 are connected by pivoted links 18 to a cross bar 19 which carries a rack 20 for actuating an indicating pointer 21. The rollers 5 may at a portion of their travel pull away slightly from the fixed rolling surfaces 17 as shown.

[Also in Group XXXI] This is a Patent of Addition altering the means for operating the toothed locking lever 24 that couples the belt-driven pulley 8 to the wheel-driving sprocket 17 as is shown in Figs. 5 to 7 of the parent Specification and claimed therein; the means comprises a turnable button 37 mounted on the pulley 8 diametrically opposite the pivot 23 of the lever and carrying eccentrically a pin 36 connected by a helical spring 35 to the lever at 34. An arm 33 extends the length of the lever for this purpose. When the button is turned from its " coupled " position just beyond the dead centre relative to the spring, the pin 36 travels round an arcuate slot 39 cut in the pulley. This releases the tension in the spring, which, when coil-to-coil, acts as a push-rod to move up the lever and disengage its teeth 31-32 from a toothed flange 16 coaxial with the sprocket 17. A resilient washer (not shown) serves to retain the button 37 in position after turning.
