Patent GB-267903-A (GB)
Abstract: 267,903. Bertuletti, G. March 16, 1926, [Convention date]. Shuttles, changing weft carriers in, automatically. -The spool or cop transferring hammer 4 is pivoted to the lay 3 at the rear thereof and is actuated by means of a swinging arm 11, which is moved into a horizontal position under the control of the weft fork or feeler mechanism, when spool transfer &c. is to occur, so as to be in the path of a horizontal arm 5 on the hammer 4. At the same time, the magazine 2 is swung forward so as to bring the bottom spool &c. therein into position over the shuttle when the lay is at the end of its forward stroke. In a modification wherein a stationary spool magazine is used, a slide is used to carry the fresh spool within reach of the transfer hammer. Shuttle feeler arrangements ; initiating replenishment. When the weft fork or weft feeler mechanism indicates weft failure &c., a bar 27 carrying arms 9, 10, 13 is actuated. The arm 9 is swung about its pivot on a block 8 on a support 7 on the breast beam, and if the forward swing of this arm 9 is not interfered with, the arm 10 by means of a bent slotted part acting on a bolt slidable in the swinging arm 11 moves this into active horizontal position. The arm 13 actuates a fork 12, which actuates a pin 28 on the magazine so as to swing this forwards. These movements do not occur and no transfer takes place if the movement of the arm 9 is interfered with by a wrongly-positioned shuttle. In the Specification as open to inspection under Sect 91 (3) (a), it is stated that the change gears may be used in connection with chain drive systems. This subject-matter does not occur in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in electric cables
IPC: H01B9/06
Filed: 1932-09-27
Abstract: 404,412. Cables. BEAVER, C. J., Bell Place, Stamford Road, Bowdon, DAVEY, E. L., 37, Greenway Road, Timperley, both in Cheshire, and GLOVER & CO., Ltd., W. T., Trafford Park, Manchester. Sept. 27, 1932, No. 26800. [Class 36.] To prevent corona formation in a hightension cable having laminated insulation, such as paper, impregnatedpaper, or varnished cambric, the insulation is formed with distributed spaces of definite and substantially invariable dimensions which are charged with a gas under a pressure, substantially less than atmospheric pressure, sufficiently low to prevent ionisation within the gas-filled spaces. To ensure that the spaces shall remain free of impregnating compound when impregnated paper insulation is employed, the impregnation of the paper is effected, prior to the lapping of the paper on the conductor, with a compound having a setting point substantially higher than the maximum temperature reached in the cable under working conditions. In a multicore cable free compound is also excluded from the fillers and belt insulation. Thin lubricating films of highly viscous petroleum jelly may be provided between the layers of insulation. In the construction shown, a stranded conductor 1 having a smooth cylindrical surface 2 is lapped with layers of paper strip 3, over which is wound a metallized, and preferably perforated, paper layer 6. A lead sheath 7, which is reinforced by a helically wound metal tape 8 and protected by an impregnated fabric jacket 9, completes the cable. The smooth cylindrical surface 2 may be obtained by the use of shaped wires in the outer layer of the stranded conductor 1, or by winding a metal tape or foil about the conductor or a lead tube may be applied over the conductor. Gas spaces 10 are formed in the paper layers by spacing apart the turns of the strip 3 and by staggering the turns in successive layers. The spaces may increase in size towards the outer layer, as shown, the thickness of the paper strip and the spacing between the turns being graded for this purpose. The paper strip is preferably lapped on the conductor in air which is kept below normal humidity, and, after the application of the sheath 7, the air is evacuated from the cable to the desired extent or is replaced by an inert gas such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, helium, or neon at the desired pressure. The filling of the cable with gas may be facilitated by a repeated flooding and exhaustion of the gas into and from the cable and by the application of heat, the cable being finally evacuated to the desired low pressure. Specifications 20549/14, 182,510, [both in Class 36, Electricity, Conducting &c.], 318,647, [Class 140, Waterproof &c. fabrics], and 373,697, [Group VIII], are referred to.

Title: Register indicating system
IPC: B41F33/02
Filed: 1970-06-03
Abstract: 1317817 Automatic control of registration HARRIS-INTERTYPE CORP 3 June 1970 [5 Aug 1969] 26822/70 Heading G3R [Also in Division G1] The registration of a number of operations e.g. printing, creasing etc., performed in sequence on a material, are checked by applying a register mark into the material during each of the operations, so that the group of register marks on the material produced after each sequence of operations will have a predetermined spacing in relation to one another when registration is perfect, and analysing the spacing of the marks in each group photo-electrically to determine the degree of registration. In the four-colour lithographic printing press of Fig. 1, each group of four register marks pauses under a measuring head comprising an elongate lamp 34, a reflector 35 and four photo-cells viewing the web through slits which are transverse to the direction of movement. The photocell-slit combinations are spaced apart equally. The outputs of the cells are shaped and summed at 40, from which the signal is applied to the vertical deflection of C.R.T. 43, whose horizontal deflection is synchronized with the printing operation to avoid inaccuracies due to changes in speed of the operations. When all the printing operations are in register, the C.R.T. display is a sequence of seven pulses of increasing and then decreasing height. If any of the operations is out of timing or register, this produces a distortion of the waveforms displayed, which is characteristic of which printing operations are advanced or retarded. The operator decides which operation(s) are out of register and carries out the necessary adjustment. The summing amplifier may feed pulse height and time analysis circuitry to provide automatic control of registration.

Title: Process for the production of salts and other compounds of metals
IPC: C01B17/66
Filed: 1952-10-31
Abstract: Calcium and sodium oxalates are prepared by reacting carbon dioxide with amalgams of the respective metals under anhydrous conditions the surface of the amalgam being continuously disrupted by the action of high speed brush or scrapers, preferably scraping the amalgam against the reactor wall.  In an example 0.1 per cent sodium amalgam was reacted with dry carbon dioxide at 20 DEG  C. while being continuously disrupted by a brush disc rotating at 1000 r.p.m. having resilient steel arms.  The carbon dioxide was previously dried by sodium hyposulphite and yellow phosphorus and was oxygen free.  When the reaction was complete distilled water was added in the absence of air whilst stirring and the aqueous oxalate solution recovered. Specification 491,879 [Group III], is referred to.ALSO:<PICT:0742258/III/1> Compounds of metals are formed by reacting a metal amalgam under anhydrous conditions with a gaseous reactant whilst rapidly and continuously disrupting the surface of the amalgam with a brush or scraper moving at high speed, preferably such as to brush or scrape the amalgam against the wall of the reactor.  Reactions specified are the production of potassium or zinc hyposulphite by sulphur dioxide with potassium amalgam or zinc amalgam, and the peroxides of barium and sodium by reacting oxygen with the respective amalgams, but the process is stated to be suitable for reactions involving carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, sulphur trioxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen peroxide, nitric oxide, chlorine peroxide, chlorine and oxygen.  In the apparatus of Fig. 1 a resilient steel wire arm 1 rotating on spindle 2, scrapes the wall of the reactor 4 to which amalgam is fed by line 5.  The gaseous reactant is fed through the hollow spindle 2 and channels 3 and the reaction products and gases are evacuated through a channel 6 closed by gate 8.  Alternatively the brush or scraper 1 may take the form of a spiral brush working in a cylinder.  The reactions are preferably effected in the absence of oxygen, unless it be a reactant, and it is further desirable when possible to extract the reaction product from the amalgam under anhydrous conditions Specification 481,879 is referred to.
