Title: Improvements in or relating to Shoemaking
Inventor: TAYLOR JOHN JALLAND
IPC: B29D35/06
Filed: 1966-05-12
Abstract: 1,197,571. Boots &c. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO. Ltd. 11 Aug., 1967 [12 May, 1966], No. 21102/66. Heading A3B. [Also in Division B5] A method of injection moulding a bottom on to a shoe includes the following steps: (i) forming an upper (U) with an outturned peripheral flange (86), (ii) positioning the upper on a foot form, (iii) locating the foot form against a recess 14 in a sole mould member 12 and (iv) causing side members 36, 37 to move arcuately to engage the upper around its peripheral flange to seal the flange around the recess. The side members 36, 37 carry welt plates 43 having projecting portions adapted to press the flange (86) into engagement with a surface 13 surrounding the recess 14 in the sole mould member 12. The side members 36, 37 are moved by means of pivoted linkage 70, 72 in two stages, first an arcuate movement about pins 50, 51, then a linear movement towards one another. The pins 50, 51 on which the side members 36, 37 are mounted, extend through bores 63 in carrier blocks 57-60 which are slidably received in recesses in the members 12, 36 and 37. The carrier blocks are biased outwardly of the sole mould member 12 by springs 32.

Title: Static binary counter
IPC: H03K23/66
Filed: 1965-05-19
Abstract: 1,106,869. Counters. LICENTIA PATENTVERWALTUNGS-G.m.b.H. 19 May, 1965 [19 May, 1964; 26 April, 1965 (2)], No. 21188/65. Heading G4A. A gated counter of the type having main and auxiliary stores mutually controlled through logic circuits and stepped by main and auxiliary counting signals is arranged so that all switching initiated by a counting signal is effected within the operation time of a store. Each stage of a binary counter comprises a main store such as S A0  and an auxiliary store such as.S H0 . Each store comprises a number of AND gates responsive to main or auxiliary counting signals t 1  or t 2 , a count enabling signal l and the outputs A 0  and H 0  of the associated main or auxiliary store and, in the case of higher stages, the outputs of lower stages too. Thus the number of setting inputs to &<SP>1</SP> 1  of the auxiliary stores S H  increase in number with the significance of the stages, so providing immediate change of state in all necessary stages instead of requiring successive binary carry. The outputs from the counter such as A 0  for true and A 0  for false are in parallel mode. The inputs shown are derived from composite signals through external circuits in known manner. Presetting signals k 0 -k 3  may be applied and become effective at the next t 1  pulse following the application of a presetting release signal f. When counting release signal z 2  is discontinued counting stops. The number of AND gates in the main and/or auxiliary stores may be reduced by one by combining some of the common input signals in external circuits. Alternatively, a common structural unit (Fig. 5a, not shown) may be used for each stage. As the number of effective inputs for the higher stages increases auxiliary circuits, Fig. 7, to produce h signals for a number of auxiliary inputs may be arranged with a false output for example from V8/6 feeding V11/9, saving on hardware at the expense of a delay of one store-time. The device may be repeated for a counter with many binary orders. The counter may be arranged to operate in binary-coded decimal form. It may also operate backwards so as to effect a predetermined count. The controls may be increased to provide a reversible counter (Fig. 36, not shown).

Title: Process of manufacturing pearl essence
IPC: C09C1/00
Filed: 1921-08-16
Abstract: 188,774. Paisseau, J. Aug. 16, 1921. Pigments.-" Pearl essence " is obtained by treating fish scales, swimming-bladders, ligaments, excrement of fish-eating birds, iridescent insects &c. with reagents such as soap, saponine &c. or with ferments, to disintegrate and remove the protoplasm that surrounds the crystalloid particles which constitute the brilliant portion of the essence. The treatment is also suitable for the rapid purification of crude essence produced by the ,known process of treating the scales &c. with ammonia. The raw materials are preferably first treated with a 0.2-0.5 per cent solution of an arsenic salt to prevent putrefaction. Several examples are given, of which the following are typical:-(a) scales are treated at 35-65‹ C. with a 10 per cent solution of soap or a 1-5 per cent solution of saponine; the film is gradually disaggregated and the crystals are set free. The liquid containing the pearl essence is separated and allowed to settle, after which the' essence is washed two or three times. (b) crude essence, 1 litre, distilled water, alkaline, 9 litres, pancreatine, 50 grm. is maintained at a temperature of 20-60‹ C. for two hours with frequent stirring. The crystalloids are separated by settling, filtering, centrifugal means &c. Should the raw material contain much fatty matter, e.g. swimming bladders, it is given a preliminary treatment with a solvent for the fat.

Abstract: 696,864. Filling-machines. A MER I CAN VISCOSE CORPORATION. Sept. 18, 1951 [Nov. 30, 1950], No. 21873/51. Class 94(i) [Also in Groups V, VI and XXVIII] Sheet material 10 of, e.g., a cellulose derivative material is drawn from a roll 7, by a driven roller 13, over a roller 23 which applies an alkali adhesive, e.g. caustic soda, to one edge of the sheet. The sheet then passes over a former 30, see Fig. 4 (not shown), which shapes it into tubular form about a pipe 5. The longitudinal edges are sealed together by the external pressure of a spring-urged endless belt 43 and internal air pressure supplied through a pipe 62, valve 63 and small openings 68, Fig. 5, in a tube 65 seated in the top of the pipe 5. The formed tube is then drawn along by endless belts 69, 70 supported by endless chains of moulds 90, 91 having a semi-circular section. Fig. 7. Plastic material, e.g. ice cream, fats, cheese, snuff, and caulking compound, is forced under pressure into the formed tube through a nozzle 6 on the pipe 5. In order to thread the sheet through the machine at the start of an operation, the belts 69, 70 and moulds 90, 91 are pivoted away from each other, into the position shown in dotted lines, by moving a bolt 111 to the right along a slot 110. The support for the belt 43 is connected to the support for the belt 69 in such a manner that it is also raised from the pipe 5 with the belt 69. The alkali adhesive is neutralized by supplying an acid, e.g. acetic acid, from a tank 117 through a pipe 120, Fig. 5, to the bottom surface of the seam, see Fig. 2 (not shown). The acid may also be supplied to the top of the seam by coating the surface of the belt 69 with acid from a nozzle 141 connected to a tank 137. The apparatus is driven from a single motor, see Fig. 3 (not shown). A hand operated valve 4 or an automatic solenoid operated valve, see Fig. 9 (not shown), may be provided in the pipe 5. When a switch arm 204 is depressed the motor is stopped and the automatic valve is closed. The switch is returned to its original position by springs, but the valve is opened and the motor started by manual operations. The seam of the tube is tested at the commencement of a filling operation by closing the end of the tube and blowing air into it through a pipe 165.
