Title: Improvements in processes for singeing textile goods and apparatus therefor
IPC: D06C9/00
Filed: 1928-04-23
Abstract: 309,320. Osthoff, W. April 23, 1928. Yarns, gassing and singeing.-In singeing textile goods such as yarns, bands and fabrics, the singeing flame is formed by electric sparks or arcs, the goods being passed through or adjacent to the spark gaps. The apparatus for producing the sparks may comprise a 12 volt accumulator 11, a circuit breaker 10 which may be speeded up to produce 50-100 sparks per second, a transformer 8 of ratio about 1 to 1000, and a rheostat 12 variable from 0-12 ohms, the latter being adjusted to give a current consumption of 1.5 to 2 amperes with a gap of about 5 millimetres. Potentials of about 20000 volts for the secondary circuit are thus developed and sparks or arcs pass between points 4-4x of plates 3 and plates 2 which are in the secondary circuit and are also earthed. The plates 2 may be hollow and perforated at 2c and compressed air may be blown through these perforations. The fabric 1 passes between the points 4-4x and the plate 2 and are singed by the arcs produced. The plate 2 may be replaced by a roller of non-conducting material such as ceramic ware running in water or other liquid in a container which is earthed. Two plates such as 3 may be connected to one secondary terminal of the transformer the fabric passing between them so that both sides of the fabric may be singed at the same time. In this case the fabric is made conducting by treatment with water or other liquid in a container which is connected to the other secondary terminal and also earthed. The upper and lower plates 3, 3a may be spaced apart as in Fig. 5. Yarns 1, Fig. 7, may be treated by passing vertically between electrodes 2, 3 having their points radiating as shown. The electrodes may be arranged so that the sparks run in a parallel plane adjacent to the goods to be treated, the penetrative effect of the sparks being thus avoided.

Filed: 1930-04-16
Abstract: 355,310. Steam superheaters. NORTH BRITISH LOCOMOTIVE CO., Ltd. and BLACK, J., 110, Flemington Street, Spring- burn, Glasgow. April 16, 1930, No. 12009. [Class 123 (iii).] A.steam regulator valve comprises a main piston valve slidable in a casing 8 having graduated steam ports and a balancing piston movable therewith within a casing 3, preferably of inverted dome form, the whole being enclosed in a valve-box 60<1>, and mounted in various positions on a locomotive. Two valves are arranged side-by-side in a common valve-box 60<1> integral with the super-heater header 60. The operating arms 24 of the valves are linked together and to a common external rotatable operating rod. A single valve may be used in this position and the valve-box may be separately formed and bolted to the header 60. The valve may be mounted forward of the smoke - stack and connected with the header by a curved pipe. A valve-box may be mounted on each of the steam chests on the engine cylinders, the valves being linked together by a transverse rotatable rod. For non-superheater locomotives the valve may occupy a similar position to that shown and be fitted direct to the smoke-box tube plate. The valve may also occupy the saturated steam space in the boiler and in this position may also be used as a screw-down stop valve. The valve may be operated from above or below by gear internal or external to the boiler and comprising rotating or pull rods.

Title: Improvements in or relating to an unscrambler and erector for articles such as plastic bottles
IPC: B65B43/50
Filed: 1962-03-29
Abstract: 948,222. Orientating plastic bottles. EMHART MANUFACTURING CO. March 29, 1962 [April 7, 1961], No. 12148/62. Heading B8A. Plastic bottles B are dropped into bowl 12 which is vibrated to cause the bottles to rise up internal track 30. As they rise up the track they meet plate 36 which narrows the track to permit only bottles to pass which are in line. The bottles pass discriminators 20 and 22 which eject bottles in wrong orientation and permit to pass only bottles with broad end forwards. These bottles pass down shoot 24 and are then discharged by conveyer 26. Discriminator 20 or 22, Fig. 5 and Fig. 2. As the bottle is passing up track 30 it intercepts two beams of light which control photo-cells which control air nozzles 68 and 72 so that, as shown in Fig. 5, if the bottle is advancing from the left with its screw end first, the air jets are operated to somersault the bottle into position with its broad base first in which position the bottle continues up the track. Shoot 24, Fig. 8. Bottles B fall down shoot 24 and are accelerated by air jet 90 so that they fall on to pivoted plate 94, then bounce off the plate, and are caught in the air by the belts 114 of conveyer 26. The two belts 114 diverge slightly so that the bottles gradually descend as they are conveyed rightwards until they rest on lower conveyer 124 which finally discharges them.

Abstract: 781,214. Brushes. HANNEY, P. J. April 27, 1956 [April 28, 1955], No. 12257/55. Class 19. The tubular spigot 12 and sealing means 13 of a cap 10 of a reservoir brush are so proportioned that when the cap is secured on the the reservoir casing 1 the spigot 12 surrounds the brush 8 and enters through an orifice 14 of the nozzle 3 of the casing 1 to engage the stem 4 carrying the brush 8 to urge the stem clear of the orifice and the sealing means engages the nozzle 3 around the orifice 14. The stem 4 functions as a spring-loaded valve having a stiffness that permits of the normal pressure on the brush when in use lifting it from engagement with a seating surface in the nozzle 3. Liquid may flow to the brush when in use through one or more passages provided between the stem and the inner wall of the casing instead of through the annular space as shown. Agitating means such as flanges 5 on the stem 4 or a loose sleeve about the spring are provided.
Patent GB-412737-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in clutch control mechanism
IPC: B60K23/02
Filed: 1933-04-27
Abstract: 412,737. Operating clutches. BENDIX AVIATION CORPORATION, 105, West Adams Street, Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A. April 27, 1933, No. 12289. Convention date, April 28, 1932. [Class 80 (ii).] In an engine-suction servomotor for operating the clutch of a motor vehicle, comprising a main control valve and a bleed valve which controls the rate of clutch engagement, the two valves are mounted in a two-part casing 30, 30<1> forming a head for the servo cylinder 12. The part 30 has a port 34, communicating with the engine induction pipe, and a port 38 communicating with a tube 40 which has air-inlet ports 100, 94 controlled respectively by an adjustable needle valve 98 and a ported sleeve valve 92 which has an arm 90 carrying an adjustable abutment 88 which co-operates with a camshaped abutment 86 adjustably carried by the piston 14. The ports 34, 38 are controlled by a double-ended valve 28. The port 38 also communicates through a passage 76, under the control of a valve 70, mounted in the part 30<1> and loaded by an adjustable spring 66, with a port 74 open to the atmosphere, the valve 70 being carried by a diaphragm 58 which is held between the parts 30, 31<1> and which is subject to the pressure of the atmosphere on its lefthand side and to the engine vacuum on its right-hand side. When the accelerator is released, the port 34 is open and the port 38 closed, the piston 14 being thus drawn to the left to disengage the clutch. Upon depression of the accelerator, the first part of its movement opens a switch controlling a solenoid 26, so that the valve 28 is moved downwardly by a spring 50 to close the port 34 and open the port 38. The piston 14 thus moves rapidly to the right towards clutch-engaging position until the abutment 86 causes the valve 92 to turn so as to close the port 94, the remainder of the stroke being thus controlled by the valve 98. The valve 70 has, however, an over-riding effect in that, if the accelerator is further depressed, whereby the engine vacuum is diminished, the valve opens so as to increase the air flow to the port 38 and thus increase the rate of clutch engagement in accordance with the decrease of the vacuum. Specification 388,569 is referred to.
