Title: Improvements relating to the dyeing and similar liquid treatment of textile materials
Inventor: WALSH JOHN
IPC: D06B3/02
Filed: 1963-07-01
Abstract: 1,026,383. Textile treating apparatus. F. SMITH & CO. (WHITWORTH) Ltd. June 29, 1964 [July 1, 1963], No. 26011/63. Heading D1L. A padding machine for dyeing and like treatment of loose textile stock, e.g. unspun fibres, slivers or tow, comprises an endless belt 1 shaped at 2 to hold a pool of treatment liquor in advance of the nip between padding rollers 3, 6, and itself passing through the nip, and having means for feeding treatment liquor to the material just in front of or even at the point where, with the belt 1, it passes through the nip between the rollers 3, 6, without the material having to pass through the pool of liquor. The material is fed to the nip by sliding down a chute 5, the outer wall of which is either flat, as shown, or curved, and dams up at the bight between the rollers 3, 6 to be taken from there through the nip in a uniform layer. The chute 5 may be mounted in guides to permit adjustment thereof horizontally and vertically and/or angularly and may be vibrated by an electro-magnetic vibrator or an out-of-balance rotor. The material is driven away from the extreme ends of the rollers 3, 6 by fillets 12, Fig. 3 (not shown), provided at the inner corners of the chute 5. The dye liquor may be sprayed on to the material by at least one sprinkler pipe 7 adjustable to various positions. The liquor sprayed on to the material is supplemented by liquor applied from the surface of the belt 1 wet with liquor from the pool and/or with expressed liquor running back into the pool. An electronic control including a photo-electric device responding to the level of liquor in the pool is provided and is effective to increase the flow of liquor when the level falls below and decrease the flow when the level rises above a pre-selected optimum position. The roller 3 is driven from a motor shaft 8 and a doctor roll 10 for the roller 6 is driven by a motorized gear unit 11. The treated material is taken by a conveyer 9 to a further treatment zone which may include a steamer 28 which may be as described in Specification 1026382. The concavity 2 in the belt 1 may be formed by causing the margins of the belt to pass over upwardly and outwardly inclined supporting rollers so mounted as to extend transversely of the belt and the centre part of the belt to pass below a series of discs of graded sizes mounted on a cross shaft with the largest one at the centre.

Abstract: 389,529. Card indexes or files. REMINGTON RAND, Inc., 465, Washington Street, Buffalo, New York, U.S.A. Sept. 18, 1931, No. 26225. Convention date, Oct. 4, 1930. [Class 16.] A card index or file comprises record-receiving elements 9 such as cards or folders divided into groups by guide cards 5 according to an indexing system indicated by characters 7 on the tabs 6 of the guide cards 5, each guide card and its corresponding groups of folders 9 being provided with an area of the same colour so that by reference to a chart a particular folder 9 may be located either by its index character or by its colour. As shown, the tabs 6 of the guide cards 5 and the edges 16 of the tabs 15 are the coloured areas. The guide cards 5 may be subsidiary guide cards in an index including main guide cards 1 with uncoloured tabs 12. The tabs 12 may be coloured, however, and in this case the edges 16 of the tabs 15 have two coloured sections 17, 18, the section 17 being coloured the same as the corresponding tab 12 and the section 18 being coloured the same as the corresponding tab 6. The system of indexing employed and the colours corresponding thereto may be indicated on the guide cards or on separate charts. The guide cards may be arranged in alphabetic progression and the corresponding colours arranged in the order of the visible spectrum, and in this case a chart may not be necessary. The provision of coloured areas forms a check against incorrect filing.
Patent GB-534286-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to pressure relieving means for electric circuit interrupters of the liquid immersed or other type in which pressure is generated upon establishment of an arc or arcs
IPC: H01H33/12
Filed: 1939-09-20
Abstract: 534,286. Liquid-blast switches; switch cases. WESTINGHOUSE ELECTRIC INTERNATIONAL CO. Sept. 20, 1939, No. 26229. Convention date, Sept. 21, 1938. [Class 38 (v)] A pressure - relieving device comprises a metal cap 20 normally maintained against the metal cylinder 18 which is carried on a metal plate 16 seating on a porcelain housing 14, within which is an insulating strain cylinder 22, the upper metal collar 24 of which is bolted to a metal annulus 30 which is bolted in turn to plate 16. The relative lengths of 14, 22 are such that, when clamped together, 14 is in compression and 22 is in tension and takes all lateral stresses. The member 22 houses two interrupting units, one above the other, the upper 34 having a flanged metal casing 38 with four lateral arms 40 whereby it is bolted at 42 to plate 30. Also secured to arms 40 are four guide rods 68 united above by a stop plate 70 against which bears the upper 64 of two pressure-plates, the lower 66 of which carries the contactoperating member 56. When the latter is released by a straight-line operating mechanism, Fig. 1 (not shown), a battery of compression springs 62 drive it downwards, separating the movable contact 58 from fixed contacts 52 and drawing an are in extinguishing liquid. Arc products escape through vents 74 in the units and if the pressure is excessive it lifts the cap 20. The latter carries a bolt 76 the head 80 of which loosely fits in a hole 82 in plate 70, and bears on the inner ends of four levers 88, which fulcrum on the upper edges of holes 86 in a boxlike structure 84 fast on plate 70. The free ends of the levers 88 have conical recesses 90 engaging the ends of bolts 92 threaded in the pressure-plate 64, so that upward movement of cap 20 and bolt 76 depresses the plate 64 and compresses the springs 62, so increasing the switch-opening force of the latter. When the pressure subsides, the springs act reversely to restore the cap, the flange 98 guiding it back to its seating. Each unit 34 comprises an outer casing 44 in which are insulating washers 45, 46 of alternately different diameters forming a corrugated arc-chamber 48. The member 56 carries washers 60. 61 forming a corrugated insulating surface which limits the dimensions of the arc-chamber in opening circuit. The contact 58 of the upper unit is connected by a conducting sleeve 57 and flexible shunts 59 to the fixed contacts of the lower unit, the contact 58 being enlarged on its left-hand side so as to draw the arc.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of reflecting surfaces on glass by means of metals in the platinum group
IPC: C03C17/10
Filed: 1920-09-16
Abstract: 156,472. Rheinberg, J. Sept. 16, 1920. Platinizing. - Homogeneoous structureless mirror surfaces are produced on glass by coating the glass with a film of collodion containing a salt of platinum, or of a metal of the platinum group, and subsequently heating the glass in a furnace. The collodion coating mixture is prepared by dissolving a soluble gun-cotton, such as celloidin or pyroxylene, in methyl alcohol and adding to it a solution, preferably in ethyl alcohol, of the metal salt. Examples of suitable metallic salts are platinum chloride, chloroplatinic acid, palladium chloride, iridium chloride, and chloriridic acid. According to the temperature to which the glass is raised, the mirror surface is either a loose deposit, an adherent deposit, or completely incorporated in the surface layer of the glass. A small proportion of a lead salt or of a bismuth salt may be added to the mixture to reduce the temperature to which it is necessary to raise the glass.
