Title: Improvements in or relating to telephone jack strips and similar devices
IPC: H01R24/58
Filed: 1945-12-31
Abstract: 605,312. Making telephone jacks. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES, Ltd. Dec. 31, 1945, No. 35318. Convention date, Dec. 30, 1944. [Class 83 (ii)] [Also in Group V] A telephone jack comprising axially spaced parts joined by a long member is made by forming the two parts separately and then joining them in axial alignment. The sleeve 2, Fig. 3, is made by cutting away unwanted metal 3b from a length h of tube or by welding a strip 3, Fig. 2, to a shorter tube. A number of spaced sleeves 2 is then moulded into a plastic strip 1, Fig. 12. A spring nest, comprising springs 6 and a shank 5 spaced by insulating plates 29 moulded in a plastic block 4, is then joined to each sleeve by welding the strip 3 to the end 5a of the shank 5. The assemblage is then bolted at 26 to a frame 25 and iron clamp 27. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also devices for moulding the plastic material about the sleeves 2 and about the spring nests. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Automatic applicator for paint, varnish and the like liquids
Inventor: BURNES FREDERICK EDWARD
IPC: B05C17/02
Filed: 1954-12-07
Abstract: A paint, varnish or like liquid applicator comprises a handle 22 having a tube 21 which is adapted to be connected to a pressurized liquid supply, e.g. a tank 1, a manually operable spring-loaded plunger valve 23 for controlling the flow of liquid through the handle 22, paint rollers 31, 32 and supports for them, and a manifold 33 external of and parallel to the rollers 31, 32, the manifold 33 being connected to the output of the valve 23, e.g. by a rigid tube 30, and having jets 34 to deliver liquid on to the rollers 31, 32. The applicator operates as follows, assuming the valve 23 is open: an arm 10 having a screw 7 is rotated to lower a nut 8 against a spring 6, rotation of the nut 8 in a tube 5 being prevented by a key 9 engaging a slot in the nut 8.  The spring 6 is moved downwardly to force down a neoprene piston 13 <PICT:0793449/III/1> <PICT:0793449/III/2> carried by a rod 12 which slides freely in the screw 7.  Liquid is thus forced through a strainer 20 in the tank 1 and by flexible tube 21, valve 23 and tube 30 to the manifold 33. The arm 10 is in the form of a yoke and is pivoted at 18 to an arm secured to the screw 7, whereby the arm 7 may be folded against the tank 1. The rollers 31, 32 are adjustably mounted between yokes 35, 36 to accommodate roller coverings of different thicknesses, e.g. plush or lambs' wool.  The rollers 31, 32 are mounted to swivel as a unit about the manifold 33 which carries the yokes 35, 36.

Abstract: The novel compounds correspond to the formula: <IMAGE> in which A denotes ethylene or cis-vinylene, R<1> and R<2> each denote hydrogen or C1-C3-alkyl, R<3> and R<4> each denote C1-C3-alkyl and R<5> denotes hydrogen or hydroxyl. They are prepared from corresponding 9-hydroxy compounds, which have a protective hydroxyl group in the 15- and optionally also in the 11-position, by oxidation in the 9-position and subsequent removal of the hydroxyl protective groups. Resulting carboxylic acids can be converted into salts or methyl esters, and resulting methyl esters into the carboxylic acids. The compounds exert an inhibitory action on gastric secretion and a bronchodilatory action, without undesired side effects; they can be used in the corresponding therapeutic indications.
