Filed: 1945-04-12
Abstract: 595,021. Preventing unauthorized use of vehicles. HARMAN, A. W. J. April 12, 1945, No. 9094. [Class 79 (iii)] A locking device for. cycles, motor cycles and motor vehicles, incorporated in the steering column and adapted to lock the steering element against movement comprises two or more combination rings rotatably mounted on the steering column to control locking bolts, said bolts being spring loaded to urge them to unlocking position. As shown in Figs. 2 and 3, a headstock 1, with three longitudinal projections 2 provides a mounting for four lock rings 3 which are retained in position by a ball race member 4, knurled nut 7 and a locking nut 8. Each ring has a recess 9 and when in the correct position the appropriate spring biassed bolt 10 withdraws from the aligned holes 12, in the fork tube 6 and headstock, to unlocking position. Each ring is engraved with a series of letters or numerals and with a known combination the steering can be freed. In a modification, Fig. 5, each ring 3 is provided with a cam 17 instead of a recess and contains a metal block 14 which houses four bolts each biassed outwardly by springs 15, the bolts being forced. through holes in the tube 6, as shown, when in the locked position.. In unlocking each bolt is forced back by a plunger 18 which is acted on by the cam 17. In order to avoid displacement of the locking bolts a safety catch 19 may be fitted; this may consist of a rotatable rod actuated manually by lever 22 and having flats thereon for engaging notches in each ring 3. Partial rotation of the rod 19 is possible, to retain the rings 3 in position, when each ring is in the unlocking position and the notches therein are aligned.

Title: Improvements in the washing of textiles and in detergents therefor
IPC: C11D3/42
Filed: 1945-04-12
Abstract: White textile materials are washed in an aqueous bath containing a detergent and a very small proportion of a substantive blue-fluorescent compound which is a derivative of a di - aminobenzoyl - amino - stilbene sulphonic acid formed by the substitution of one of the hydrogen atoms in each of the -NH2 radicals attached to the terminal rings by an organic radical which does not contain an -NH2 radical directly attached to an aromatic nucleus and which would not itself render the substituted compound formed unstable to light and oxygen, and which does not itself possess any tinctorial properties. Advantageously, the aqueous bath contains not more than 0.05 per cent of the blue-fluorescent compound, and suitably between 0.01 and 0.001 per cent, calculated on the weight of the materials. Specified compounds are: derivatives of a di-aminobenzoylamino-stilbene sulphonic acid formed by the substitution of at least one of the hydrogen atoms in each of the amino radicals attached to the terminal rings by an organic radical which does not contain an amino radical directly attached to an aromatic nucleus, which would not itself render the substituted compound formed unstable to light and oxygen, and which is of a non-chromogenic nature, e.g. methyl, benzoyl or acetyl, as in the following: 4 : 41 - di - p - methylaminobenzoyl - amino-stilbene-2 : 21-disulphonic acid 4 : 41-di-p - benzoylaminobenzoylamino - stilbene - 2 : 21 - disulphonic acid, 4 : 41 - di - p - acetylamino - benzoylamino - stilbene - 2 : 21 - disulphonic acid and the corresponding m- or o-compounds; 4 : 41-di-p-ureidobenzoylamino-stilbene-2 : 21-disulphonic acid or salts of these acids.  In an example, a wash liquor containing about 0.4 per cent of soap product consisting of ordinary soap in which is incorporated proportions ranging from about 0.003 to 0.06 per cent of 4 : 41-di-p-acetylaminobenzoylamino-stilbene-2 : 21-disulphonic acid is used to wash white cotton and linen material either at about 40 DEG  C. or at the boil.  A detergent contains a small proportion of the order defined, of a substantive blue-fluorescent compound of the kind specified. Specified compounds are the acids named above and their salts which are advantageously incorporated in the detergent in a proportion of less than 1.0 per cent by weight, and suitably between 0.001 and 0.1 per cent.  Soapy and non-soapy detergents are specified.  The Provisional Specification describes also a modification of the invention in which the blue-fluorescent compounds are added to a pre-soaking or "break" solution instead of to the actual detergent solution.  Specifications 522,672, 584,436 and 584,484 are referred to.

Title: Improvements in and connected with the electrolytic deposition of iron and the treatment of the deposits
IPC: C25D5/36
Filed: 1920-03-30
Abstract: 165,535. Lovelock, H., and Try & Son, Ltd. March 30, 1920. Electrodes; moving; preparing surfaces; treatment after deposition; cells; metals, pickling; iron, depositing.-In the deposition of iron on an iron or steel part, such as a worm machine part, a container is built up around the part, and supplied successively with an acid pickling-solution, a second acid solution in which the part is cleaned by anode action, and the depositing electrolyte. After removal of the container, the part is annealed. Grease and dirt may first be removed by paraffin oil, benzene, or petrol, or by treating with caustic soda solution at 190‹ F. The surface may then be rubbed with fine or worn emery cloth or scratch-brushed. The non-electrolytic cleaning liquid may be a 50 per cent solution of nitric acid, and the electrolytic cleaning liquid a 25 per cent sulphuric acid solution. The anode treatment should be immediately followed by deposition, to avoid oxidation. Suitable electrolytes for deposition contain in 1 gallon of water either 19 oz. ferrous ammonium sulphate or 13 oz. ferrous sulphate and 6 oz. ammonium sulphate. They should be feebly acid. A current density not exceeding 8 amperes per sq. ft, of cathode, and a pressure of about 0.75 volts, are suitable; initially, however, the pressure may be 4 volts. As shown, the work, consisting of a crank shaft b, projects through the bottom of the container c, the hole in which may be sealed with a hot mixture of beeswax, resin, and boiled oil, or of paraffin wax and bitumen. If the container c is of metal, it is also coated with wax. Parts of the work not to receive a deposit may be stopped off with electricians' black insulating tape. A rubber tube d normally held up by a clip serves for emptying the container. As anode there may be used a wire helix f of large diameter, and of larger surface than the cathode. The anodes of one or more cells may be carried by arms h of a lever which is oscillated by a cam k. Before use the anodes are washed with hvdrochloric acid and water, and they should be frequently annealed. After the deposition, the work may be cleaned and oiled. The deposit is annealed at a temperature slightly above the Ar 3 point for pure iron, say at 925-950‹ C., and slowly cooled. Close union between the deposit and the work is thus effected. The deposit may then be carburized and hardened. Before or after annealing it may be buffed up or ground.

Abstract: 574,813. Saws. RONAN, L. F. June 17, 1943, No. 9762. [Class 145 (ii)] [Also in Group II] In high speed metal-cutting saw blades comprising a single piece of high speed steel such as a tungsten-chromium-vanadium or a molybdenum - tungsten - vanadium steel, the flexibility of the blade is increased by forming a longitudinal portion of the blade situated away from the toothed edge softer than the toothed edge but not less hard than approximately C35 Rockwell, or by removing small portions of the blade such as by perforations. In one form, Fig. 2, the whole blade after being hardened, e.g. by heating from about 2175‹ F. to 2400‹ F. and quenching in air or oil, is tempered by heating from about 900‹ F. to 1120‹ F. to bring the teeth to the desired hardness. A longitudinal zone lying between lines 12, 13 near to the inner ends of the teeth and near the back edge respectively, or the whole of the portion between the line 12 and the back edge is then heat treated, while protecting the teeth from the heat, until such zone or back portion has a hardness of from C35 to C58 Rockwell. In addition to or instead of this heat treatment, the blade may be provided with one or more rows of perforations 14, Fig 3, or slots, or the back edge 24 of the blade may be of sinuous form as in Fig. 9.
