They may be dissolved in nitromethane or nitroethane and extruded into a coagulating bath containing an aromatic hydrocarbon liquid, e.g. naphtha, benzene, toluene or xylene.  The resulting fibres are afterwards cold-drawn and heat-treated.  Prior to or simultaneously with the cold drawing, the fibres may be treated with a liquid, e.g. mineral oil, acting as a lubricant and/or heat transfer medium, which may be washed out with, for example, xylene.  They may also be twisted and given a textile finish, e.g. of an aqueous solution of white oil, glycerine, olive oil and sulphonated isobutyl oleate.

Abstract: 251,758. Burch, C. R., Davis, N. R., and Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd. April 18, 1925. Induction furnaces. - In a high frequency induction furnace wherein the inductor consists of a tube through which a cooling fluid is circulated, the inflow and outflow of the latter are arranged at equipotential points. In Fig. 1 the inductor 10 comprises a copper tube of square section which is doubled back on itself and then wound to spiral form. The inlet 13 and outlet 14 of the tube are connected to earth. If the fluid is a good conductor and the supply thereof is earthed a direct earth connection to the metallic conductor is unnecessary. The point 12 on the conductor is connected through a blocking condenser 15 to the anode of a thermionic valve 16 coupled to a generator 18 through a choke coil 17. The valve may be separately excited or the grid circuit may be coupled to the anode circuit. A condenser 20 is shunted across the inductor 10 to tune the inductor circuit. The valve cathode and condenser are connected to earth or to a common connection together with the inflow and outflow end of the inductor. In Fig. 2 the tube is wound in two different directions to form an inductor 10 and a choking coil 21. In Fig. 3 the inductor 10 consists of two oppositely wound coils. A switch 19 in the supply circuit is arranged to be responsive to the rate of flow of the cooling fluid or the temperature thereof. The cooling fluid flows through a pipe 40, Fig. 4, having a throat 41 between which and the main part of the tube is fitted a U-tube 43 containing mercury and having platinum contacts 44, 45 connected to a battery 47 and relay 46. The contacts of the relay are arranged in circuit with a battery and the operating coil of the switch 19. Temperature control is effected by a thermometer with platinum contacts.

IPC: B41J7/02
Filed: 1957-03-28
Abstract: 807,392. Typewriters &c. SPERRY RAND CORPORATION. March 28, 1957, No. 10258/57. Class 100(4) In a typewriter in which the type bars move endwise towards the printing position, carry two upper and two lower case characters each and are carried in a type bar segment which is moved angularly for case shift, two adjacent ones of the linkages between the keys and the typebars are connected by surface contact only between a roller and a lever so that the leverage of the type action is not disturbed during case shift. Type bar segment 28, Fig. 2, is mounted for rocking movement on side plates 29, 30, by pins 31 in front and shift link studs 32 at the rear. Depression of either case shift key 48 rocks latch 60 anti-clockwise through adjustable wire link 63 and pivoted lever 64 to release pawl 53 and allow nose 59, urged by spring 65, to engage one of notches 51 in disc 50. Pawl 53 and cam 55 now rotate with disc 50, until, after half a revolution, pawl 53 is disengaged by nose 70 of lever 66, which is rocked clockwise about 67 through member 69 by latch 60 rocking anti-clockwise, acting on projection 61. Type bar segment 28 is thus rocked anti-clockwise about pivot 31 through stud 32, link 78, rocker 75, pivoted at 77, links 76, 74, 72, cam follower 71 and cam 55. Corresponding members 78a, 75a, 76a, 74a, act at the right hand side of the machine. In lower case position cam follower 71 is in contact with the high side of cam 55 and is held there by shift balance springs 79. Spring urged detent arm 99 bearing roller 101 co-acts with notches 102 to hold the high and low sides of cam 55 in vertical alignment whilst pawl 53 is disengaged from notched disc 50. Type segment 28 remains in upper case position as long as key 48 remains depressed, when key 48 is released catches 60 and 666 are rocked clockwise to allow cam 55 to make a further half revolution whereupon segment 28 returns to lower case position. Adjustable stops are provided for accurately positioning segment 28 for lower case printing. Manual rotation of knob 92 moves segment 28 towards or away from the platen for manifolding by turning cams 88 which rock levers 33 bearing type segment pivots 31 about 134. As the type segment is moved for case shift &c. rollers 40, Fig. 1, move along working edges 43 of rock levers 44 so as to keep constant the leverage of the type actions in their movement towards and away from the printing point. In manual machines rock levers 44 may be directly connected with the key levers instead of the power roller as shown.

A hoist comprises a reversible fluid operable motor 16 which drives a cable drum 11 in opposite directions, for raising and lowering a load on cable 12, a manually operable control valve movable from a neutral position in which the motor 16 is inoperative to one of two operative positions in which the load is raised or lowered,. and fluid pressure rams operable for moving the control valve into the neutral position when fluid valves are operated at predetermined limits of wind of the drum 11. The cable drum 11 is driven from the fluid motor 16 through a shaft 17, gearing 19, 20, 23, 24, 27 and a ratchet brake 22. A brake drum 28 on the end of the shaft 17 is engaged by brake shoes 29, under spring pressure, when the control valve is in the neutral position. The brake 29 is released by movement of a cam 36a on a shaft 36, when a lever 39 is displaced by a fluid ram 41 which is operated when fluid is supplied to drive the motor 16. Adjustable lobes on a cam which is synchronized with the movement of the drum 11, are set to engage fluid valve operating levers at the limits of wind. A secondary limit switch controls the upper limit of wind if the primary limiting device fails. The secondary switch comprises a fluid valve controlling fluid flow to the upper limit control valve operating ram, which fluid valve is held closed by a hanging weight, and when the load being raised lifts the weight, the fluid valve is opened and the control valve moved into the neutral position. The fluid in the described embodiment is air.
