Title: Improvements in illuminated display apparatus
IPC: G09F13/00
Filed: 1936-03-31
Abstract: 476,330. Illuminated displays. VIBRALITE, Ltd. March 31, 1936, No. 9499. Convention date, April 1, 1935. [Class 3 (i)] An illuminated advertising &c. display comprises a coloured background carrying an indicia figure of a colour contrasting with the colour of the adjacent background, and a plurality of actiondenoting lines of a non- neutral colour bordered by background portions of a contrasting colour, the display being continuously illuminated with light of one colour, preferably one corresponding with that of the background and intermittently illuminated with light of a colour corresponding to that of the action-denoting lines whereby an illusion of continuously illuminated lines suggesting animation, e.g. pulsating, vibrating, darting or throbbing is produced and the indicia figure appears to lie in a plane other than that of the action-denoting lines. The background is preferably a non-neutral colour and the indicia a neutral colour. The illuminating apparatus described is similar to that described in Specification 470,005. The Figure represents an example of the display wherein the background 13a is blue, the indicia 15a comprising the figure and the wording is in shades of colour contrasting with the background colour and the colour of the action delineations 14a portions of which appear in contact with or passing behind the indicia. Illumination of the display continuously by a blue or green light and intermittently at rapid frequency by light of a colour corresponding with that of the action delineations, say red, causes the appearance of motion of the delineations and in a plane behind the indicia thereby presenting a three-dimensional effect. In a modification of the display the background comprises areas of different colours and the indicia are arranged in spaced relation with the action delineations extending in diverging direction between them. In further modifications the display is arranged to represent a panoramic scene or a revolving object.

Title: Improvements in photographic materials
IPC: D01F2/28
Filed: 1944-05-18
Abstract: 595,360. Photographic dry-stripping material. KODAK, Ltd., SOPER, A. K., BERRIMAN, R. W., and DAVEY, E. P. May 18, 1944, No. 9591. [Class 98 (ii)] Dry-stripping sensitive material comprises a silver salt emulsion layer united to a temporary support by a dry-stripping layer, in which the binder of the emulsion is composed of at least 75 per cent by weight of one or more organic derivatives of cellulose which are insoluble in water at 20‹ C., but are permeable to processing solutions at that temperature. The emulsion may or may not have an overcoating layer. The cellulose derivative may comprise 90 per cent, or all of the binder. The processing solutions may contain softening agents. Material with a wax dry-stripping layer may be formed by coating the waxcoated temporary support coming from the usual drying chamber with emulsion and again passing through the heated chamber, without an intermediate cooling step. The cellulose derivative may be cellulose acetate, propionate, butyrate, acetate-propionate, acetate-butyrate, or acetate-phthalate, or ethyl cellulose. Partially hydrolysed cellulose acetate may be used. The cellulose derivative may be dispersed through a concentrated emulsion made with a small quantity of another binder. The permanent support is coated with lacquer (e.g. comprising cellulose nitrate, tricresyl phosphate, triphenyl phosphate, acetone and butyl acetate), which is dried and softened with a softening liquid (e.g. a mixture of methylated spirits with butyl alcohol), the emulsion side of the dry-stripping material pressed into contact therewith and the temporary support (e.g. paper) stripped off. The lacquer may contain titanium dioxide and the emulsion may contain a white or other pigment. The emulsion may be provided with a dyed or pigmented overcoating layer (e.g. of cellulose nitrate). The temporary support or dry-stripping layer may be dyed or pigmented or may serve as a filter if the emulsion is exposed by the reflex copying process while still on the temporary support. The emulsion may be transferred before or after exposure and before or after development. The material may be used to apply a pattern to ceramic material, the binder being burned away on firing. In example 1, the emulsion of example 3 of Specification 551,659 with a binder having a 90 per cent content of cellulose acetate-propionate of 19-26 per cent acetyl content is used. In example 2, an emulsion is prepared by pouring aqueous solutions of silver nitrate and of potassium bromide and iodide into an alcohol-water solution of cellulose acetate (23 per cent acetyl) and then adding a further quantity of cellulose acetate containing the mono-ethyl ether of ethylene glycol. Specifications 479,239, 529,041, 554,292, 554,298, 554,300, 554,301, 559,843, 595,356 and 595,361 also are referred to.

Abstract: 769,250. Sheet-delivery apparatus. BOBST & FILS SOC. ANON., J. April 1, 1955 [April 3, 1954], No. 9615/55. Class 100(1) Sheets are delivered from a machine to a pile by gripper-bars 4 carried by two endless chains 3 mounted on sprocketwheels, and the grippers are opened to release a sheet by cams 9 secured on a cross bar 10 which is carried by arms 11 pivoted at 12. The grippers comprise spring blades 5 secured at one end to the bar 4, and each blade has a plunger 6, provided with a roller 7, projecting through an aperture in the bar to co-operate with a cam 9. When the cams open the grippers, the arms 11 are swung away to a position 111 so that the cams do not impede the drop-delivery of a sheet. The bar 10 can be adjusted angularly by means 13, 14 to adjust the position of all the cams 9 simultaeously but each cam may be adjusted independently if desired. The sheets are delivered from a machine such as 16,17, Fig. 2, guided over a fixed plate 18, and on to a rockable support 19. In the latter position, brush 20 bears on the trailing edge of the sheet to tauten and smooth the sheet. When the grippers 5 release the front edge of the sheet, the support 19 is rocked to position 19<SP>1</SP>, and the rear of edge of the sheet drops first in the direction 22. The brush 20 could be stationary and smooth the whole of the sheet, or rocked to engage only the rear portion.

Abstract: 865,952. Adjusting body height. ENGINEERING RESEARCH & APPLICATION Ltd. March 10, 1959 [March 26, 1958], No. 9674/58. Class 108(2). A levelling valve for a vehicle suspension system has inlet ports 23, 24 an exhaust port 25 and a supply port 26. A height sensing rod 28 projects from one end of the valve and has on its lower end a valve member 37. A further valve member 38 is also provided. In operation, whilst the valve is out of action, the outlet 26 to an air spring bellows is closed by a valve head 43 and the valve member 37 is held by a spring 41 against the inlet end of a bore 33. When levelling of the vehicle is required high pressure air is supplied to the valve through the ports 23, 24, thus forcing the valve member 37 up until the rod 28 comes into contact with an abutment which is connected with the sprung part of the vehicle. Simultaneously the valve member 38 is moved to a position in which a conduit 55 connects the bore 33 with the bellows supply port 26. Air will now enter or leave the bellows depending upon the position of the abutment connected to the sprung portion of the vehicle. A modification is described, Fig. 3, (not shown), in which the sliding valve member corresponding to valve member 38 has three lands and two outlet ports are provided. Thus, air can be supplied to two bellows. In a further embodiment one bore only is provided' in the. valve body and a single spool valve 71, Fig. 4, having two lands 72, 73 controls a pressure inlet port 75 a bellows supply port 26 and an exhaust port 25. A further bellows supply port may be provided diametrically opposite-to the supply port, 26. If the levelling valve is to be used whilst the vehicle is in motion, damping means may be interposed between the rod 28 and the sprung portion of the vehicle.

Abstract: 816,185. Crimping yarns; pile and other fabrics. COLLINS & AIKMAN CORPORATION. March 26, 1957 [April 3, 1956], No. 9831/57. Classes 120(3) and 142(4) A crimped or curled yarn 12, Fig. 2, is produced by tufting e.g. by needle tufting in a warp-wise direction, a yarn 10, Fig. 1, of mohair, wool, nylon, polyesters or mixture thereof with regenerated cellulose fibre, into a backing material e.g. burlap, to form a tufted pile fabric; subjecting the fabric to a setting treatment e.g. with hot water or steam, which may be combined with dyeing, to set the loops in the tufted yarn; removing the yarn from the backing material. The yarn 12 may then be woven as the pile yarn in a fabric and cut to allow the yarn ends to twist according to set conformations and thereby entangle to form a dense pile, Fig. 3 (not shown); alternatively, the yarn 12 may be retufted into the same backing material in which it was set. In a continuous process, Fig. 4, backing material 20 is fed from a roll 21 to a tufting machine 16, which inserts pile yarn 17, and through a setting chamber 22, the crimped pile yarn 23 is pulled from the fabric and fed to a tufting machine 24 which inserts the yarn 23 into the material 20 and the retufted fabric 25 is wound on a roll 26. The backing material may be in the form of a closed loop into which the yarn is continuously tufted and from which the crimped yarn is continuously unravelled and wound on a cone, Fig. 5 (not shown). As shown in Fig. 6, a loop of backing material 40 passes beneath a tufting machine 41 and through a setting chamber 42, the yarns 43 are tufted into the material 40, set, unravelled and fed directly to a loom 44 as warp yarn for a woven fabric 45.

Title: Improvements in or relating to parachutes
IPC: B64D1/02
Filed: 1941-08-01
Abstract: 581,726. Parachute apparatus. JACKSON, J. M. Aug. 1, 1941, No. 9849. [Class 4] Apparatus for landing an object from the air comprises a container supported by a comparatively small parachute so as to ensure a rapid descent, rocket devices being ignited as the container approaches the ground to reduce the speed of descent to a safe value. The rockets are disposed around the top of the container or in a handle interposed in the loadline of the parachute and are ignited when an electric circuit is closed upon contact of a pilot weight with the ground. Groups of rockets may be fired in sequence. A weight H is connected to a canister L secured beneath the main container by clips R1, R2 so that it is released by the jerk occasioned when the parachute opens. The canister contains a cable G connected to the weight and to a plunger T which is pulled down against a spring P when all the cable is paid out. Initially, balls M co-operate with a groove N in the plunger to prevent it from touching an insulated contact V in the electric firing circuit. The plunger has a grease-tight washer S and when the cable G tightens the shock is absorbed by grease being forced through a hole O in a casing U in which the plunger slides. When the plunger is fully depressed, the balls M escape so that when the weight H touches the ground the spring P presses the -plunger against the contact V. Instead of a pilot weight, an adjustable time fuze may fire the rockets or barometric devices, sound or wireless wave reflection devices, or devices utilizing earth capacity effect may be used:
