Title: Improvements in or relating to expelling air from centrifugal pumps
IPC: F04D9/06
Filed: 1927-12-15
Abstract: 293,011. Oberascher, F. June 30, 1927, [Convention date]. Pumping - machines; starting, facilitating. - Air is expelled from centrifugal pumps by means of an ejector operated by the exhaust gases of the internal - combustion engine driving the pump. The arrangement i s suitable for use on a fire engine or a motor car. The suction side of the pump 7 is connected by the pipe 6 to the suction opening of the ejector 5 arranged in the distributing chamber 1 on the exhaust side of the engine 2. The chamber is also connected by a pipe 3 to the silencer 4. The spraying nozzle 12 of the ejector projects slightly into the receiving nozzle 13 and both are slightly widened in the direction of flow. The back of the nozzle 12 is recessed to form a surface 15 against which the exhaust gases impinge and thereby increase the pressure on the nozzle. A ball 8, mounted in a ring 9 operated by means of a rod 11, controls the passage of the exhaust gases through the pipe 3 or the ejector 5. With the ball in the position shown, the ejector is operated and air is drawn from the pump 7 through the pipe 6. When the ball is moved to its second position the ejector is inoperative and the exhaust gases pass through the pipe 3 and silencer 4.

Title: An improved portable cleaning apparatus, particularly for use in cleaning upholstery
IPC: A47L11/30
Filed: 1936-12-12
Abstract: 476,084. Cleaning upholstery, carpets in situ, etc.; brushes &c. SCHRADER, F. U. VON. Dec. 12, 1936,No. 34192. [Classes 19 and 138 (i)] A portable cleaning-apparatus C, Fig. 2, particularly for use in cleaning upholstery comprises a container 13 for soap solution and means for blowing air into the solution for creating suds which are led to the upholstery being cleaned. The apparatus comprises a portable base unit 10 and a cleaner head 40, Fig. 4. The tank 13 which receives soap solution is a closed one and a tank 14 receives soiled water or suds. The apparatus is carried on wheels 16. A main operating motor 21 is rubber mounted above the tanks. A blower fan 25 and suction fan 26 are connected by short hose sections 27, 28 to nipples 17, 18 on the tanks. A protective covering or housing 31 can be formed from rubber or other material coloured or otherwise. A centre strap can carry a handle to facilitate transport. Pipes 19, 20 and tube 30 extend through the upper end of the cover. An elongated filling tube may be provided for the tank 13. The pipe 19 provides the outlet for the cleaning agent and the upper end communicates by a large flexible hose 38 connecting with the cleaning head 40. The head comprises a casting 41, Fig. 4, to which is bolted a light electric motor 42. The motor has a shaft connected to a worm 43. Meshing with the worm 43 is a wheel 44 keyed to the drive shaft 45, Fig. 5, on the brush head 46. The shaft 45 extends into a dome 47 provided with a skirt 50. The marginal edge of the brush back 56 engages the inner edge of the dome 47 and prevents escape of detergent supplied by a tube 60. A valve 61, Fig. 4, which may be of the butterfly type, is operated by a finger piece 63 to regulate the detergent supply. A switch for the motor 42 may be arranged adjacent the finger piece 63. The head 40 is held in both hands by the operator, one hand on the handle 67 and one on the pipe 60. Coupled with the inlet 30 of the suction fan 26 is a relatively large flexible hose 68, Fig. 8 with nozzle 69 having an elliptical opening 70. A squeegee bar 74 is mounted midway in the opening extending slightly beyond it. In use, an ordinary suction head is connected to the hose 68 and the motor 21 is started. Loose dirt is thus removed. It is preferred to have a little liquid in the tank 14 to catch dust. A small bag can be placed over the vent for the same purpose. The tank may be half filled and motor again started. The nipple 17 extends below the liquid and driven air will make soap suds to be carried by pipe 19, hose 38, dome 47 to the brush. Motor 42 is then started. After the article is cleaned the valve 61 is closed and the nozzle 69 is coupled to hose 68. The squeegee bar is pressed to squeeze suds from the article into the tank 14. The apparatus can also be used for moth proofing by coupling a container for material with the hose 20. The apparatus may also be used to clean carpets in situ, rugs, walls, and the like.

Title: Automatic device for regulating the amplitude of the oscillations of a watch balance wheel
IPC: G04B15/12
Filed: 1954-11-25
Abstract: 761,332. Clocks and watches. JORIOT, C. Nov. 25, 1954 [Dec. 24, 1953], No. 34242/54. Class 139. In a time-piece excess movements of the balance are damped by mechanical damping means. Pivoted on a screw 3, Fig. 1, which is located in line with the lever and balance pivots 6, 4 is a plate member 1. A pin 11 depends from the lever 7 and enters a rectangular slot 12 in the plate member 1. As the balance oscillates normally and the impulse pin 14 oscillates the lever 7 between the banking pins 15a, 15b the pin 11 reciprocates the plate 1. A pin 13, Fig. 11, on the safety roller 5a swings past the end 1a of the member 1 as the balance swings counterclockwise and just touches said end at the end of the clockwise swing of the balance. If the amplitude of oscillation of the balance exceeds the desired normal the pin 13 will as the balance swings clockwise meet the end 1a and move the member 1 counter-clockwise about its pivot, the movement of the balance being thereby damped. The extent of movement of the member 1 by the pin 13 is limited by an adjustable stop 16. The lost motion connection between the lever 7 and the member 1 may comprise a pair of depending pins on the lever embracing the end 1a of the member 1, Fig. 13 (not shown), or a V-shaped extension of the end 1a embracing a projection on the lever, Fig. 15 (not shown).

Title: Salts of siloxane carboxylic acids
Inventor: BURROWS HAROLD GEORGE
IPC: C08J9/00
Filed: 1962-09-12
Abstract: Salts of t.-amines containing at least one ether linkage with polysiloxane carboxylic acids can be made by reacting together in substantially equivalent proportions, optionally in the presence of a solvent, the desired t.-amine and a polysiloxane containing at least one carboxyl group attached to Si through a divalent hydrocarbon (with or without substituents) or oxyhydrocarbon radical.  Suitable t.-amines are <FORM:1056066/C3/1> and <FORM:1056066/C3/2> wherein R1 and R2 are alkyl, cycloalkyl, aryl or aralkyl radicals or together form a bivalent alkylene radical or a bivalent alkylene radical in which the chain is interrupted by one or more hetero atoms, which together with the N atom form a heterocyclic ring, n=1 to 6, R3 and R4 are residues derived from alkylene oxides, R4 being different from R3, and y is at least 1. The siloxane acids may be linear, branched or cyclic, and can be made by reacting a siloxane containing Si-bonded H with a carboxylic acid containing an hydroxyl group and/or olefinic unsaturatin.  Solvents specified are toluene, xylene and 1,4-dioxane.  In a typical Example (1), a methylhydrogensiloxane was reacted with maleic anhydride, in the presence of cyclohexeneplatinous chloride, and the product was then reacted with water and finally neutralized with oxypropylated - triethanolamine, to yield the desired surfactant, which was then used in apolyurethane formulation to yield a low density, fine textured foam.  Uses.-As surface active, dispersing, mould release and antistatic agents; also as surfactants in conjunction with alkali metal or ammonium salts of the above polysiloxane carboxylic acids, and these can be made in one operation by reacting the siloxane acid with the t.-amine and an alkali metal hydroxide or ammonium-hydoxide.  They are particularly useful as surfactants in making polyurethane foams, the polyurethane being derived from a polyester, polyether or polyesteramide. Numerous examples of polyurethane-forming reactants are given.
