Abstract: 809,629. Alloys. DAUSSAN, H. J. Jan. 21, 1957 [Jan. 20, 1956], No. 2085/57. Class 82(1) [Also in Group XXII] Fumes and gases from cast metal are collected in a chamber carried by an apertured float which floats on the molten metal. A float A<SP>1</SP> of fireproof material pierced by channels 2 rests on the surface of the melt in an ingot mould L<SP>1</SP>, and is surmounted by a chamber 4 into which passes gases and fumes from the melt through the channels 2. A vessel 7 within the chamber with an easily heat-destructible bottom 8, contains a charge of melt additives such as lead, sulphur, carbon or compounds thereof, in powder, granular, or paste form. A vessel 5 contains a fluid 6 such as water, for cooling by evaporation. The gases may liquefy in the chamber and return to the melt in a cyclic process, or they may be absorbed in a porous fillng e.g. carbon, caustic soda &c. in the chamber 4. Additives may be placed directly in the chamber 4 in channels 2. When top pouring, the stream may pass through a sheath 14 Fig. 4, connecting the float and ladle nozzle, said sheath being either telescopic as shown, or of a material progressively destroyed by the rising melt. Additives 9a are arranged at the bottom of the sheath so that they are carried along by the casting stream.

Abstract: 1,137,825. Knotting apparatus. KOMBINAT FORTSCHRITT LANDMASCHINEN VEB. 8 Dec., 1966 [18 Jan., 1966], No. 2385/66. Heading D1C. A device for clamping the yarn ends to enable them to be knotted by a knotter in a baling machine comprises a pair of co-operating discs 27, 28, the upper one 27 being rotatable upon the lower one 28 to take the thread 43 fed over its surface and to clamp it between itself and the lower disc 28. For this purpose the thread is laid across a notch 45b in the upper disc and out through a gap 38 in a side wall 37 on the lower disc 28, Fig. 5. When the disc 27 rotates clockwise the thread is engaged by a cutter 33b, passes through the notch 45b and projects out beyond a second notch 32a in the upper disc, Fig. 6. The previous thread end 42 is simultaneously released so that the threads can be knotted together by a knotter and further rotation of the disc 27 causes the cutter 35b to sever the thread and cause it to assume a clamped position between the discs as shown by the position of the thread 42 in Fig. 5. A second notch 45a cutter 33a and further notch 32b are then positioned ready for the reception and clamping of a further length of thread after it has been fed around a bale and across the clamping device to the knotter.

Abstract: 1,241,991. Coated metal. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. 8 Jan., 1969 [16 Jan., 1968], No. 2407/68. Heading B2E. [Also in Division C3] A metal article or metal-surfaced article is coated by a process in which the article is treated with an aqueous acidic dispersion or solution of a film-forming material stabilised by an anionic surfactant and substantially free from non-ionic surfactant, the dispersion or solution containing a depolarising oxidant and attacking the surface of the article, whereby ions are generated adjacent the surface which cause the dispersion to coagulate thereon. Preferably at least part of the surface consists of iron, zinc or an alloy thereof, which may be modified by formation of e.g. a zinc phosphate or iron phosphate coating. Specified film-forming materials are copolymers of butadiene with styrene and/or methyl methacrylate and homopolymers or copolymers of vinylidene chloride, vinyl chloride or vinyl acetate. In the examples, panels of zinc or degreased steel are immersed in dispersion comprising methyl methacrylate/ 2-ethyl hexyl acrylate/vinyl acetate copolymer, sodium dioctyl sulphosuccinate, hydrogen peroxide, or sodium nitrate, and phosphoric acid or acetic acid, rinsed with water and dried.

Abstract: 345,609. Circular knitting-machines. SPIERS, Ltd., W. and SPIERS, W., XL Works, Walnut Street, Leicester. Feb. 19, 1930, No. 2413/31. Divided on 343,743. [Class 74 (ii).] To enable the needles of a superposed-cylinder or other rib or plain machine to form slacker loops than usual when temporarily taking more than one yarn, as the result of a yarn change, the stitch cam or cams are adjusted conjointly with the yarnchanging action. The invention is described as applied to the yarn-changing device of Specification 322,282, [Class 74 (ii), Knitting &c.]. As the feeding elements 7, sliding in the radial slots of the rotary feed device 1, approach in turn the feeding position their rollers 6 running in the track 8 impinge on a roller 5 carried by a lever 3 pivoted at 4. An abutment screw 10 then presses on a lever 11 pivoted at 12 to a bracket 13 and attached at 15 to the plain stitch cam block 14 which is thus momentarily depressed. The lever 3 may act similarly on the rib stitch cam block. Specification 343,743 is also referred to.
