[Also in Division B2] Seamed, multi-ply garment elements such as collars and cuffs are produced by placing a shaped, first textile fabric in facing relationship to a similarly shaped interliner fabric, the surfaces of which have a temporary coating of heat-sealable water-soluble material (see Division B2), folding at least one edge common to the first fabric and the interliner over the body of the interliner, applying heat to the fold to effect temporary bonding between the interliner and the first fabric, placing a complementary shaped second textile fabric having at least one edge folded and held in position by holding means in a fold-to-fold facing relationship to the first fabric/interliner composite, removing the holding means and securing together the first fabric/interliner and said second fabric by sewing along the common folded edges to provide a seam. In one embodiment a collar neck-band is produced by placing in facing relationship the face ply 4 and the interliner 2a, folding the longitudinal edges of both the interliner and the face ply over the body of the interliner and applying heat to produce adhesion. The underply of the neck band is then placed on a stiff piece of paper and the edges folded. The paper holds the crease in the under ply. The collar section is then inserted between the folded face ply/ interliner and the underply, the paper is removed from the underply and the sections are joined by external stitching 1a. In another embodiment a cuff is also constructed by a similar procedure.

Abstract: 518,022. Piston extrusion apparatus. WICKSTEED, R. Aug. 10, 1938, No. 23618. [Class 102 (ii)] A portable device for delivering small metered quantities of weed-killing or other liquid comprises a hand operated trigger or lever and associated means for effecting the passage of a predetermined quantity of liquid from a reservoir to a delivery nozzle. In the form shown, a reservoir 10 with a nozzle 12 serves as a cylinder for a piston 11 operated by a trigger 24, the piston rod 14 being screw threaded and carrying a ratchet wheel 18. The latter is held against the closure cap 16 of the cylinder by an abutment 19 and is engaged by a flat spring strip 26 which engages in a slot in an offset extension 25 of the trigger and is held therein by a spring 27. The butt 20 is formed with a trough portion 29, the upper edges of which are engaged by arms 36 at the rear end of the piston rod 14 to prevent rotation of the piston, the cylinder 10 and butt 20 being retained in the normal position by means of a light spring 33. A transverse rod 37 cut away at 38 forms a stop for the extension 25, and, according to its two positions, as indicated by a member 39, determines the stroke of the trigger and the number of teeth on the ratchet 18 which are advanced for each movement of the trigger.

Title: Method of making a transparency of a coloured image in a magneto- electric printing system
IPC: G03G9/08
Filed: 1973-05-17
Abstract: 1373208 Electro-photographic colour transparency R C A CORPORATION 17 May 1973 [17 May 1972] 23632/73 Heading G2H A copy transparency is made electrophotographically by exposure to a projected colour image of a photo-sensitive member comprising a mosaic three-colour filter 14, a panchromatic transparent photo-conductive layer 22 and a layer of magnetic and electrically attractable particles 34. An original transparency 38 is illuminated with white light, and its projected image is passed through light-transmitting substrate 12 and mosaic filter 14 to fall on the photoconductive layer, in the presence of a magnetic field insufficient to remove electrostatically bound particles 34 from the layer surface 28. Where blue light is projected through a blue portion of the mosaic filter, or red through a red portion, the underlying portion of the photo-conductive layer becomes conductive, and its surface charge drains away through transparent conductive layer 18. The particles 34 on that portion of the photoconductive layer are removed by the magnetic field, and the relevant parts of the mosaic filter become visible. After exposure, remaining parts of the layer of particles are fixed to the surface 28 by spraying with an adhesive, or by heat acting on a thermoplastic component. Passage of white light through the developed photo-sensitive member shows an image similar to that of the original transparency 38. During exposure, a guide to progress may be obtained by viewing the photo-sensitive member through aperture 48 in electromagnet 40, or by projecting the image on to a screen as it is formed. If required, the developed but unfixed image may be erased by increasing the magnetic field, and the photo-conductive member may be coated with a further layer of particles in preparation for reuse. A white light may be used to assist erasure.
