Title: An improved process for making preparations adapted for producing iodine on surfaces
IPC: F42B14/04
Filed: 1931-10-09
Abstract: Iodine is liberated on the skin or other surface by the use of two solid sticks, one composed of a solid acid or acid salt, the other of an alkali iodide and a mineral salt which in presence of an acid liberates iodine from the iodide.  In use the surface to be treated is moistened and then rubbed with the two sticks in turn so that a mixed solution producing free iodine is formed. Suitable acid substances are tartaric, salicylic, and benzoic acids, alkali phosphates, alums, aluminium sulphate or mixtures thereof.  Mineral salts to be mixed with the iodide are nitrites and salts of oxyhalogen acids, such as chlorates, bromates, iodates and periodates, or mixtures thereof.  Neutral soluble salts of low melting-point, such as potassium nitrate, may also be added to the mixture.  The powdered ingredients are formed into solid sticks by melting and casting, or by compression with or without heating.ALSO:Iodine is liberated on the skin or on wounds by the use of two solid sticks, one composed of a solid weak acid or acid salt, the other composed of an alkali iodide and a mineral salt which, in presence of acid, liberates iodine from the iodide.

Class 108(2) In a vehicle suspension mechanism comprising an arm 2 on one end of which a Wheel 1 is mounted, the body of the vehicle is supported upon spring means 3 acting between the body and a point on the arm intermediate its ends, the end of the arm remote from the wheel is articulated to ,link means and is/adjustable for maintaining the body at a predetermined height from the ground under different loads, and means are provided. to lock the articulated end of the arm in adjusted position. As shown the wheel-carrying arm 2 is pivoted to an arm 4 of a linkage 4, 7 which is pivotally connected to a yoke 6. The position of the latter is adjustable and may be locked in adjusted position by means of a manually operated lever 12 through linkage 10 and 11 to vary the position of the pivot axis A of the arm 2 relative to the vehicle body. The adjustment of the position of the pivot axis A is assisted by a torsion bar 9 which is rigidly connected to the free end of link 7. The predetermined position of the axis A relative to the vehicle body is indicated by the alignment of indicators 16 and 18 which are oper-. atively connected to the arm 2 and the yoke 6. In another arrangement, Fig. 4 (not shown) a resilient link is interposed between the arm 2 and link 7 by which the position of the pivot axis A is adjusted automatically, the adjusted position of the axis A being locked by any suitable means (not shown). In both arrangements the "free end" of the torsion bar 9 bears on the spring 3 through a finger 33 such that the spring exerts a corrective torque on the bar 9 as the latter is stressed during movements of the pivot axis A.

Specified bases are Na and K hydroxides, carbonates and bicarbonates, Ca, Ba, NH4 and tetra-alkyl ammonium hydroxides, CaO, aniline, pyridine and morpholine.  The divinyl tin halides may be added to the basic aqueous solution as such, or in the form of an organic solution (e.g. in benzine, toluene, xylene, pentane, hexane, heptane, cyclohexane, or an alcohol or ether).  Uses.-P.V.C. stabilizers, as above. Anthelmintics for chicken feeds or medicines.ALSO:The invention comprises divinyltin oxide which is prepared by reacting divinyltin chloride or bromide with a basic compound in aqueous solution containing sufficient hydroxyl ions to replace all the halogen atoms by oxygen.

Movable-abutment type; cooling and heating parts; working-fluid supply.-In an internal-combustion engine, compressor, or pump of the kind in which both piston and cylinder rotate in the same direction, in the ratio of 2 to 1, the admission and exhaust are controlled by the piston, the ports being always open to the cylinders. In an engine two such elements are used for compression and power respectively, but only one element consisting of piston and cylinder, when used as a pump. The application to an engine is shown. Compression and power cylinders 1, 2 contain hollow pistons 13, 14 eccentrically mounted on a shaft 3. Fluid is admitted through the induction. pipe 17, to the hollow sleeve 4<b> and port 4<a>, to the hollow piston 13, whence it passes in the cylinder 1 and is compressed between the piston and the closed end of the cylinder. It then passes through the ports 8, 12, 10 to the space Z, where it is fixed. A small portion of the exhaust gases is trapped in the cylinder 2 to increase the compression of the next charge, and the remainder passes through the ports 5<a>, 5<b> to the exhaust pipe 18. Air or other cooling medium is drawn in through passages 20a, 21, to the chamber 20, and passes through passages 23, 24 to the chamber 25, and to radial outlet passages 27.

Abstract: 1,055,186. Signalling over exchange circuits. TELOTEL Ltd. July 19, 1963, No. 28653/63. Heading H4K. [Also in Division G4] In a data transmission system in which a connection from one of a number of transmitters to a central receiver is set up by dialling, the receiver comprises an automatic answering unit which includes a continuous-loop magnetic playback system, a relay switching system, and a send/receive switching system. The automatic answering signals are recorded on the tape in unit 124 which is connected to lines 117, 118 via gate 122. This gate, and gate 122, are opened and shut alternately at high frequency to prevent feedback oscillation between the receiving and transmitting sections of the central receiver. Data signals pass via gate 123 to detector 129. Ringing signals are detected by unit 115 and cause a relay to lock up. After a delay the tape motor starts and the recorded identification signal is sent to the calling station. A metal section of the tape then closes a circuit which stops the tape. There is now a 15 sec. pause. If no data is received in this period E2 opens to disconnect the tape unit from the line. The tape is now moved again until the metal section closes a second contact, whereupon the tape is stopped and the system disconnected from the line by A3. However, if data is received, the acknowledgment message recorded on the second part of the tape is transmitted to the calling station as the metal section moves towards the second contact, the receiver then closing down as before. The 15 sec. pause is cancelled if the data from the calling station is received before the identification message is finished, the acknowledgment then following immediately. The system includes a pay tone detector 130 to satisfy G.P.O. requirements.

Abstract: 762,461. Coating with metals. BRENNAN, J. B. Nov. 14, 1952. No. 28781/52. Class 82(2). [Also in Group XXIX] Porous strips or sheets are coated by directing one or more streams of molten or plastic metal particles towards at least one face of one or more porous base strips or sheets and assisting the passage of the particles to the base or bases by means of suction. A base sheet 10, Fig. 1, of cotton cards, gauze, porous paper, fibre glass or cotton cards and cellulose acetate fibre, passes from the roll 11, over the roll 12 to the roll 13. The sheet passes over suction nozzles 16, 17 at points at which it is metallized by sprays 14, 15; the sprays are heated by coils 18. The sheet also passes through pressure rolls 19, 20 and 21 through which high frequency current is passed. The coating material may be A1, Mg or Ta, and may include boric acid or particles or fibres of cellulose acetate. Instead of using sprays, metal particles may be directed towards the base by gravity or suction or by means of a carrier gas, being passed through additional heating coils prior to deposit; or the metal particles may flow through the coils, tubing made of aluminium oxide or mica being placed within the bores of the coils. In Fig. 2, two base sheets 30, 31 are coated by a single metallizing nozzle, utilising vacuum nozzles 33, 34 and a heating coil, the coated sheets being caused to adhere by the rolls 32. In a further modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), both sides of a strip are coated. Aluminium may be sprayed in air to form an oxide coating.
