Title: Improvements in and connected with tuft-forming sewing machines
IPC: D05C15/00
Filed: 1945-07-17
Abstract: 6 0 3 , 3 0 3 . Tufting - machines. PICKWORTH, C. L. July 17, 1945, No. 18283. Convention date, June 28, 1944. [Class 112] A tufting-machine comprises a loopholding member, a loop-shearing member pivoted thereto, and cutting edges on the two members to coact in the manner of scissors to cut the loops. In the arrangement shown, the machine has an oscillating under-shaft, to which is adjustably clamped a hook-carrier 15, a hook 16 being adjustably secured to the carrier; the part of the hook near the shank has a cutting edge which co-operates with a similar edge on a shearing member 19 pivoted to the shank of the hook 16 and slotted at its other end to engage a pin 22 adjustably mounted on the bed of the machine. A guard member 30 fixed to the carrier 15 guides the needle with its inner face, and has its upper edge bevelled to deflect the needle away from the plane of the hook if necessary. The hook is projected through the needle loop as the needle rises and its continued movement closes the cutting edges to shear a loop or loops previously formed, the arrangement being such that at least one complete loop is always retained on the hook. In a modification, the carrier 15 is mounted on another shaft which is oscillated by means of an arm engaging a cam on the first shaft and in further modification the hook carrier is mounted to slide horizontally on fixed guides transverse to the shaft under the action of a cam on the shaft; both these arrangements permit the motion of the hook to be determined independently of the motion of the shaft and can be used with a rotating shaft. Specification 603,353 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to needing machines for securing a blanket of fibres toa hessian or other fabric base
IPC: D04H18/00
Filed: 1952-07-19
Abstract: 735,573. Needling machines. COMYN, B. D. July 17, 1953 [July 19, 1952], No. 18288/52. Class 42 (2). A needling machine of the kind comprising a series of barbed needles which are reciprocated by suitable means and feed and delivery rollers by which a base and blanket of fibres are moved past the needles so that the latter force or draw sufficient fibres through the base to secure the blanket to the base is characterized in that the feed and delivery rollers are constantly rotated and are carried by a frame mounted to partake of a rocking movement, this movement being such that the travel of the base and blanket transverse to the needles is interrupted when the needles are moving therethrough. As shown a lower drive shaft b carried in suitable bearings attached to the end frames d of the machine drives the rollers h, l<SP>1</SP>, n, t, u, p and q and carries at each end a swivelling end frame g. Rollers h and l<SP>1</SP> feed in a length of hessian or other base material m and roller n feeds in a blanket o of fibres to be needled to the base m. Rollers t and u close up to the needles s ensure a uniform thickness of the blanket passing under the needles. The needles s are carried by a needle carrier R to which a vertical reciprocating movement is imparted by an upper drive shaft a through cranks and connecting rods k. The shaft a also drives, eccentrically, rods j coupled to the swivelling end frames g and so imparts a swivelling movement to these frames about the shaft b. The timing of the operations is such that when the needles are passing through the base material m the swivelling end frames move the whole roller system backwards thus compensating for the forward feed movement of the base and blanket such that there is no relative transverse movement between the needles and the base. A second embodiment shows an arrangement whereby the needles project upwards, passing through the base material first and the blanket of fibres second, the downward movement of the needles being used to needle the blanket to the base material.

Filed: 1971-06-03
Abstract: 1303416 Recording-apparatus NEW ZEALAND INVENTIONS DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY 3 June 1971 [3 June 1970] 18870/71 Heading G1J Recording-apparatus comprises two coding devices 1,2 adapted to convert analogue indications of time and of a quantity whose variations with time are to be recorded into digital form as coded holes punched in a paper tape, the two devices 1,2 being caused to punch the tape at the same instant and successive recordings being made at time intervals determined by the rate of variation of the variable, the occurrence of a rate in one of four ranges selecting the corresponding one of four time intervals. Applied to monitoring water levels, a drum 9 is angularly displaced by a float and through a shaft 10 drives a binary coding disc (drum or wheel) 2 and two driving wheels 11, 12, while a clock 4 drives a binary coding disc (drum or wheel) 1, a 2 minute cam 6 and 10 and 100 minute cams 5. Electronic devices on a circuit board 25 control a motor 24 to produce a punch out cycle when triggered by a level change sensor 13, by the 100 minute cam 5 or by manual operation of a push button and in each cycle the last two decimal figures of elapsed time and of level are punched out in the binary code on a 16-channel tape, moved a step at the end of each cycle from supply to take up drums 21, 22. The level change sensor 13 comprises two enclosures 14, 15 and a shaft 17 driven by the wheel 11 to position an arcuate shutter in a box 16. Starting from a central position in the box 16, the shutter prevents two photo-electric devices in the enclosure 14 from receiving any light which may be emitted by their respectively associated lamps in enclosure 15 until it reaches positions corresponding to level changes of 1 and 2 mm respectively. The shaft 17 also carries freely, rotatably thereon an arcuate member 19 frictionally driven by the wheel 12 and carrying two small magnets to operate a magnetic reed switch 20 when the water level changes by 30mm in either direction. A punch-out cycle is triggered every time the 100 minute cam 5 completes a revolution. Whenever the 10 minute cam 5 completes a revolution a capacitor, charged shortly before, discharges through one of the lamps in the enclosure 14 and the flash operates the associated photo-electric device if the level has changed by 1mm or more. A punch-out cycle is triggered and the shutter is returned to central position. Similarly a flash produced by the other lamp at a complete revolution of the 2 minute cam 6 will only trigger a punch-out cycle if the level has changed by 2 mm or more. While at every change of 30 mm the reed switch 20 will initiate punching and resetting. At the end of each cycle the sensor 13 is lifted free from the drive wheels 11, 12 so that the shutter and magnet carrier are reset by counterweights.

Title: Improvements in or relating to oil modified alkyd resins
IPC: C08G63/48
Filed: 1937-07-08
Abstract: "Short oil modified alkyd resins" are obtained by first preparing a homogenous solution by heating together (a) a fatty acid containing not less than 12 carbon atoms in the molecule or a natural resin acid, (b) polyhydric alcohol in excess of one mol. per mol. of (a), and (c) sufficient water-insoluble polybasic acid to form said homogeneous solution but insufficient to combine with all the hydroxyl groups, and then heating the solution with a water-soluble dibasic acid other than oxalic acid.  By a "short oil modified alkyd resin" is meant a polyhydric alcohol esterified with a monobasic acid and with more than one polybasic acid, the total of the last being more than one mol. per mol. of monobasic acid; the monobasic acid being that defined at (a) above, and the polybasic acids comprising both a water-insoluble polybasic acid and a water-soluble dibasic acid.  In a modification, some of the polyhydric alcohol is combined with the acid (a) to form a partial, e.g. mono-, ester, which may be heated with the remaining ingredients or a partial ester thereof. There are specified: water-insoluble acids-phthalic, adipic; water-soluble acids-maleic, succinic, itaconic, malic, tartaric; monobasic acids-lauric acid, acids of vegetable oils, e.g. linseed oil, soya bean oil; polyhydric alcohols-glycerol, glycol, mannitol. The reaction may be carried out under reduced pressure, or in an inert gas: these may be added at any stage.  In examples: soya bean oil fatty acid or monoglyceride, phthalic anhydride, and glycerol are condensed together, then maleic anhydride added and reaction continued; linseed oil monoglyceride, glycerol, and adipic acid are condensed, then succinic acid added and reaction continued; soya bean oil monoglyceride, glycol or mannitol, and phthalic anhydride are condensed, then maleic anhydride added and reaction continued: lauric acid, glycerol, and phthalic anhydride are condensed, then maleic anhydride added and reaction continued. In some cases the products are soluble in aromatic hydrocarbons and suitable for stoving enamels.
