Title: An improved device for display and decorative purposes
IPC: C08F2/00
Filed: 1950-03-21
Abstract: 691,254. Display devices. CROSSMAN, W. H. Feb. 19, 1951. [March 21, 1950] No. 6950/50. Class 93. A display and decoration device made of stiff material, consists of a spine member having extending therefrom and along the length thereof a number of fins, the device when in use being freely suspended so as to be rotated by air currents. Referring to the drawing two layers of material 1 are laid one on the other and sewn along the centre at 2, parallel cuts being then made moving from the outer edges towards but not into the centre strip to form fins 4 and the unit twisted lengthwise into a number of turns of regular pitch. In modifications the centre strip may be offset, and the strip edges may be shaped e.g. by sinusoidal cutting. Specification 22179/04, [Class 93], is referred to.
Patent GB-416639-A (GB)
Title: Improved method and means for the production of double-walled glass vessels
IPC: C03B9/06
Filed: 1934-03-05
Abstract: 416,639. Glass manufacture. DICHTER, J., 8, Hauptstrasse, Schoneberg, Berlin. March 5, 1934, No. 7016. Convention date, March 4, 1933. [Class 56.] A method of making double-walled glass vessels consists in blowing an elongated bulb in a mould and then turning inwards the lower end of the bulb in order to form the wall of the vessel, the neck being shaped by constricting the open end of the vessel so formed. The mould in which the elongated bulb 1, Fig. 1, is blown is made in two parts 2, 3. After the bulb is blown, the lower part 3 is opened and the upper part 2, with the bulb enclosed, is applied to the machine shown in Fig. 2. This machine comprises a vertical spindle 15 which is journalled in bearings in a stand 14 and is rotated by a motor 16. A rack 17 operated by hand lever 12, or by a power-driven cam 13 enables the shaft 15 to be raised when required. A rotatable annular gas burner 11 is carried by a U-shaped frame 18 which is freely mounted on the spindle 15 but is prevented from rotating by a rod 19 that slides through a bush 20, a collar 21 acting as an adjustable stop for limiting the upward movement of the spindle 15. When the spindle 15 is lifted, a stationary pad 24 on its upper end makes contact with the lower end of the glass bulb 1, and as the spindle is raised the glass, which is progressively softened by the flame of the burner 11, is turned into the body of the bulb. Thus the original bottom of the bulb constitutes the bottom 25 of the inner part of the glass vessel, and air pressure supplied through the open end 5 of the outer part maintains the required distance between the inner and outer walls. Alternatively, the introversion of the glass may be more or less completed in the mould 2, 3 by means of a plunger which is moved upwards into the mould through an opening in the bottom of the lower part 3. In order to produce the neck of the finished glass vessel, a mandrel 4 is introduced into the open end while a pair of rollers 6, 6<1>, Fig. 3, constrict the double wall as shown. The rollers are rotated around the axis of the vessel and are moved inwards at the same time. Pads 8, carried above the mandrel 4 and separable by a shaft 28 disposed within a tubular support 29, support the inner wall of the glass vessel during the shaping process. Similar pads may also be used instead of the member 24 for forcing the glass inwards. The mandrel 4 may be suitably shaped to form a screw thread or a circumferential recess, or both, on the interior of the neck of the vessel. In a modified construction, the end of the vessel, after being constricted, is mounted in a mould and the glass is expanded by air pressure applied between the walls of the vessel, an external screwed thread being formed on the neck if desired.

In one embodiment, Fig. 1, a control valve 12 delivers gas from source 15 on a vessel or from machine mounted containers 17 to the right hand container 10 and liquid, which may be water, is transferred by pump 19 to the left hand container or is forced out through valve 21, thus causing a positive buoyancy in the right hand container which raises the right hand support 2. The machine is rotated by mechanism 3 about the left hand support 2 and the gas pressure is then equalized with the aid of valve 12 to lower the right hand support on to the bottom. The left hand support is then lifted and lowered according to the required path of the machine. In another embodiment, Fig. 8, the containers are installed in guides 23, one or other of the containers being moved outwardly by power cylinders 24 to provide additional means for tilting the machine about a selected support 2. In a further embodiment, Fig. 10, the containers 25 are made from flexible material comprising outer and inner shells 26, 27 and the spaces between the shells may be inflated with the same working medium, such as gas, or with different media such as gas or liquid. The machine may also be adapted for movement on land.

Abstract: 129,238. Jackson, W. J. Mellersh-, (Taylor, A.). March 24, 1919 Electric oscillations, producing.- In an electric oscillation generator of the Poulsen-are type, the cathode is wider than the anode, and the usual magnet poles for producing a transverse magnetic field are placed in close relation to the cathode but are separated from the anode by a distance greater than the length of the are. Fig. 1 shows the generator in horizontal section, and Fig. 3 is a vertical section of the anode. The carbon cathode 2 and the hollow metal anode 3 are enclosed in a casing 4 containing hydrogen. The are passes between a copper tip 7 on the anode and the cathode 2, and is subjected to a magnetic field passing across the gap between the poles 5. In a wireless system, the cathode 2 is earthed, and consequently there, is only a small potential difference between it and the adjacent poles 5. The narrow form of the anode 7 enables it to be placed further from the magnet poles 5 than from the cathode 2. Discharge from the electrodes to the magnet poles is thereby prevented, whilst a minimum gap is obtained between the magnet poles. The copper tip 7 of the anode is secured by a screw cap 8 and the joint is sealed by a metal gasket 9. The anode is cooled by water admitted through a pipe 12 and discharged through an outlet 13.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of artificial foils and films
IPC: B29C48/92
Filed: 1938-03-11
Abstract: <PICT:0491435/IV/1> <PICT:0491435/IV/2> Films and foils of uniform thickness are produced by a continuous process in which a film-forming solution, comprising, for instance, a cellulose derivative, is extruded or allowed to flow on to a casting surface to form a film or foil, and, while the film or foil is still plastic, the height of the upper surface of the film or foil above the casting surface is determined by lowering a suitable measuring means until visual indication that contact is made is provided by a marking of the surface of the film or foil.  The mark subsequently flows out of the film or foil and, by adjusting the supply of film-forming solution in accordance with the thickness of the film or foil indicated by the measuring means, film or foil indicated by the uniform thickness is produced.  In Fig. 1, the film is formed on the casting wheel p  6, and the thickness of the film is measured at various points across its width by the micrometer gauges 5. Additional gauges, such as 46, may be disposed across the width of the casting wheel 6 in order to detect and allow for any variations in the surface of the casting wheel.  The micrometer gauge 5 may be of the type shown in Fig. 3, in which the expansible spring 32 tends to force the gauge spindle 16 with its pin point 31 in a downward direction.  The gauge spindle 16 is raised or lowered by turning a screw 41, which actuates lever 35 pivoted at 36.
