Title: Apparatus for producing foam baths
IPC: A61H33/04
Filed: 1935-12-02
Abstract: 463,284. Foam baths. JACKSON, J. Dec. 2, 1935, No. 33305. [Class 47 (ii)] A liquid-receiving receptacle is interposed between the spraying device and the bath structure in an apparatus for producing foam baths of the kind comprising a bath structure, a spray producing device located over the bath structure and in close proximity thereto, and a motor driven pump by means of which foam producing liquid is extracted from the bath, and is passed into the spray producing device and discharged under pressure in the form of jets. The spray impinges on the liquid in the receptacle and the foam so formed flows in the form of a cascade into the bath. In one form of the invention the liquid is sprayed from a perforated tube d on to a shelf c below the level of the bath roll b. In a modification, a trough e is secured to the pipe f so that the jets from the nozzle g impinge upon it. Specification 434,931 is referred to in the Provisional Specification.

Abstract: 1,147,235. Interconnecting spaced panels. BUDD CO. 25 July, 1966 [3 Aug., 1965], No. 33384/66. Heading B5N. [Also in Division F2] The panels 10 and 11 of an upright panel assembly are interconnected to prevent vibration by placing an initially viscous mixture of a foamable adhesive and a foam promoting catalyst within a shell between the panels, the shell 14 having open ends facing towards and spaced from the panels through which the foam flows into adhesive contact with the panels. Preferably, the shell 14 is passed through an aperture in the panel 10 and carries, by means of strips 20 or a T-shaped member, a conical member 17 for closing the aperture. The foamable mixture 23 may be inserted into the shell through an aperture 19 in the closure member which may then be closed by a plug 25.

Title: Improvements in or relating to travelling wave tube arrangements
Inventor: COULSON ROBERT BERNARD
IPC: H01J23/11
Filed: 1954-11-18
Abstract: 780,811. Travelling-wave tubes. ENGLISH ELECTRIC VALVE CO., Ltd. July 25, 1955 [Nov. 18, 1954], No. 33394/54. Class 39(1). In a travelling wave tube there is interposed between the gun 2, 3 and wave retarding, helix 7 means such as a cavity resonator 13 or prehelix at a point of maximum noise current to extract velocity and convection current noise and to feed it via suitable amplitude and phase adjusting means 17 to give it equal amplitude and opposite phase to the noise signals in the output of the helix so that when mixed therewith noise can be eliminated from the output over a limited range of frequencies. In the form shown the gun 2, 3 is followed by a " drift tube " 4, noise extracting cavity resonator 13 disposed at a noise current maximum, velocity jump electrodes 5, 6 and helix 7 having input and output waveguides 11, 12. The extracted noise is fed to the output by coaxial line 14 and waveguide section 16, a delay line such as a length of cable and suitable phase and amplitude adjusting means (all represented by 17) being provided to give the extracted noise signal the right amplitude and phase for mixing with the main output signal. Waveguide 16 forms part of or is associated with output waveguide 12. The extracted noise signal and main amplified signal can be mixed without change of frequency or their frequencies can first be shifted by a common local oscillator and the resulting intermediate frequencies then mixed. The conditions are so adjusted that there is substantially no feedback of energy along line 14 and it is stated that the tendency to self oscillation can be further reduced by making the helix dispersive. If the cavity 13 is not quite in the best position to pick up noise, the potentials of the velocity jump electrodes and drift tube can be adjusted to improve noise pick up. The invention may be combined with known travelling wave tubes in which the helix starts at a noise current minimum to minimise noise in the output or if this condition is not fulfilled the voltage of a drift tube preceding the helix can be adjusted to minimize noise in the output.

Abstract: 1,091,081. Dry shavers. MORPHY-RICHARDS Ltd. Aug. 27, 1964 [Aug. 29, 1963], No. 34194/63. Heading B4B. In a head for a dry shaver having a perforated foil and a rigid cutter member which is arranged to move over the surface of the foil so as to provide a shearing action, the movement of the cutter member is positively limited against pressure from the foil to rectilinear movement backwards and forwards in a predetermined direction and the foil is resiliently constrained towards the cutter member. As shown, the cutter member 3 has a supporting member 5 and balls 6 are provided in parallel grooves formed in both members thereby to limit the member 3 to longitudinal movement only. The member 3 has secured thereto leaf spring means 9 which constrains the member towards the member 5. The means 9 comprises a leaf spring 10 formed with a hook 11 which is engaged by a pin 12 mounted in a drive fork 13 oscillatable about a pivot 14. The fork is driven by an electric motor or vibrator. The fork may be replaced by a simple dolly arranged so that the pin 12 projects from both sides thereof, the means 9 then having two leaves 10. The foil 1 is constrained towards the cutter member by U- shaped spring wires 15 attached to a frame 2, on which the foil is mounted, and bearing against end covers 16 and 17. One wire bears on a longitudinally curved groove 18 which prevents longitudinal movement of the frame 2; the other wire lies on a flat surface 19 which prevents rotation of the frame about a longitudinal axis. The covers 16 and 17 are provided with projections 22 between which the frame 2 lies so that when the covers are detached the foil is loosely retained therein. The head may be provided with a trimmer comprising a fixed cutter 27 and a reciprocating cutter 28 which has a tang 30 engaging a hook 25 in a leaf spring forming part of the means 9 so the cutter 28 is reciprocated when the cutter member is reciprocated.

Title: Improvements in and relating to thermally stable bonded siliceous structures
IPC: C04B28/24
Filed: 1955-11-30
Abstract: 822,261. Bonded fibrous materials. OWENSCORNING FIBERGLAS CORPORATION. Nov. 30, 1955 [Dec. 10, 1954; Dec. 27, 1954], No. 34342/55. Class 140. A method of producing thermally stable elements from glass fibres or thin glass films or flakes comprises the steps of applying to the said fibres films or flakes an aqueous composition, the solids of which include silicic acid and drying the composition to allow the solids to bind to the surfaces of the fibres, films or flakes. The term " silicic acid " refers not only to H 4 SiO 4  but also to silicic acid which can be formed in situ by reaction of an alkali metal silicate with boric acid. The solids of the composition include both dissolved and suspended normally solid substances. Silicic acid alone or with a resinous condensation product of boric acid and/or a siliceous filler may be used as the sole binder for glass fibres or can be used to modify a glass fibre product employing a conventional organic resinous binder of the types already known or a resinous binder comprising an organic borate as described in Specification 822,262. The siliceous filler may be used together with additional fillers such as carbonates, oxides and hydroxides of aluminium, silicon, boron, calcium, magnesium, sodium, iron, lead, zinc, copper, cadmium, indium, tin, antimony, scandium, bismuth, strontium, barium, molybdenum and chromium. Boric acid upon reaction with sodium silicate provides silicic acid and sodium borate together with other borosilicates and sodium borosilicates. A suitable resinous condensation product of boric acid is a reaction product of boric acid with urea and glycol with or without formaldehyde; as the glycol there may be used ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, propylene glycol or glycerol; and in place of urea there may be used dicyandiamide, melamine or guanidine. Suitable siliceous fillers are Kaolin clay, bentonite, Canary clay, finely-divided silica, diatomaceous earth, perlite and vermiculite. Examples disclose formulations of binder compositions comprising silicic acid, or sodium silicate and boric acid, which may be used in treatment of glass fibre structures which have been bonded with an organic resinous material.
