Patent GB-567043-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the treatment of fibrous materials with linear super polyamides
IPC: D21H17/55
Filed: 1943-03-08
Abstract: A solution of nylon in strong acid is applied to fibrous material and the nylon is deposited on the material by treatment with an aqueous medium.  Cotton, linen, wool, silk, viscose rayon, cellulose acetate, or other textile fibres, yarns, or fabrics, or paper or wood may be treated.  A solution of nylon in strong sulphuric acid solution, which may contain formaldehyde, may be used and the impregnated fabric may be squeezed and run through water so as to produce a deposit of nylon as a white pigment on the fabric.  Other substances which produce pigments on addition of water or aqueous solutions may also be added to the nylon solution.  Solutions of nylon in hydrochloric, nitric, phosphoric, or formic acid may be used.  The treated fibrous material may be heated so as to fuse the deposit of nylon, e.g. by passing the material with or without tension over heated rollers. Nylon-filled fabric may be rendered crease-resistant by impregnation with resinous condensation products and after-treated with swelling agents if desired.  Nylon-treated wool resists shrinking and felting after milling.  Non-textile materials may be treated in fibre or sheet form.  Impregnated fabrics may be given other treatments, such as parchmentization, or waterproofing treatment with a pyridinium compound.  In an example, cotton or viscose fabric is impregnated with a solution of nylon in 70 DEG  Tw. sulphuric acid and then squeezed, washed, and neutralized.  A stiff parchmentized effect may be produced by running the treated fabric through 140 DEG  Tw. sulphuric.  Fine cambric is run through a solution of nylon and antimony trichloride in concentrated hydrochloric acid, and is then squeezed, washed and neutralized. Paper is impregnated with a solution of nylon in sulphuric acid and the nylon is precipitated by immersion in water.  Sheets of paper are bonded together by heating the mass to a temperature sufficient to melt the nylon.  Loose fibre is added to a solution of nylon in sulphuric acid of 70 DEG  Tw.  Water is added to precipitate the nylon on the fibres.  The mass of nylon-covered fibres is then heated above the melting point of the nylon and pressed so that a composite mass of nylon and fibre is obtained, or the mass of nylon-covered fibres may be rolled out into any required thickness and heated to melt the nylon all over or in selected portions to form a pattern, or the mass may be made up into paper and then heated to melt the nylon.

Title: Thermostatic controls
IPC: H01H37/60
Filed: 1964-01-29
Abstract: 1,019,840. Thermal switches. ROBERTSHAW CONTROLS CO. Jan. 29, 1964 [March 5, 1963], No. 3877/64. Heading H2B. In a thermostatic control device a bimetallic strip is connected to a switch blade by means of a plate member, both the strip and blade engaging the plate by fitting into slots therein and the slots are so dimensioned and shaped that there is a compressive force between the walls of the slot and the co-operating member, so as to avoid lost motion. The bimetal strip 28, Fig. 3 (not shown) is attached by a rivet 32 to a resilient mounting 33 so that this may be raised or lowered by an adjusting screw 43, to set the operating temperature of the thermostat. The free end of the strip 28 is a force fit in a slot in the plate member 49, to avoid lost motion, and the latter is retained by bending up a portion 69 of the strip. A contact blade 85, of springy metal, is given a snap-action by having its central region divided into three parallel sections by two longitudinal slots and crimping the two outer sections-and is riveted to a support 87. Its free end is fitted into a slot in the plate 49, the slot being of such shape that the middle of the blade is depressed relative to the outer edges, so again avoiding any lost motion. The operation of the snap action is modified by a leaf-spring 97, riveted to the blade 85 at 99 and having its free end bearing on an adjusting screw 102. The main contacts of the device, 81, 82, are mounted on a fixed support and the blade 85, respectively. The assembly may, however, include a second pair of contacts 71, 72, the latter being carried on a blade 76 riveted to a support 78. These contacts open as the contacts 81, 82 close and, to overcome any tendency for them to stick, the slot in the plate 49, with which the end 80 of the blade engages, is wider than the thickness of the blade. The resulting free movement, on upward motion of the plate 49, results in the blade being given a sharp blow to free the contacts. The components are assembled in a moulded, insulating cover 21 closed by a metal plate 22 and, to assist in conducting heat to the bimetal strip, a lug 41 extends from the mounting of the adjusting screw 40 into contact with this plate. The plate 22 is retained in position by sprung tabs 105, Fig. 1 (not shown), engaging behind shoulders 104 on the casing.
