Abstract: In curing modified polyesteramides in admixture with a proportion of cellulose derivative as set forth in the parent Specification, an aromatic tri-isocyanate-modified polyesteramide is used in place of an organic diisocyanate-modified one. Suitable aromatic tri-isocyanates are benzene-1,3,5-tri-isocyanate, toluene-2,4,6-tri-isocyanate, ethylbenzene-2,4,6-tri-isocyanate, monochlorbenzene - 2,4,6 - tri - isocyanate, triphenylmethane-4,41,411-tri-isocyanate and diphenyl-2,4,41-tri-isocyanate.  In the example, a polyesteramide is prepared from ethylene glycol, adipic acid and monoethanolamine and is modified with toluene-2,4,6-tri-isocyanate.  The product is mixed on a rubber mill with cellulose acetate swollen with acetone, the acetone volatilized and the product dissolved in acetone to a viscous solution to which is added hexamethoxymethylmelamine and 2,4-dichloro-1-naphthol.  The mix is spread on a fabric and cured by heating.

Title: Improvements relating to nets and to net making machines
IPC: D04G1/00
Filed: 1954-08-13
Abstract: 761,188. Net making. BOULY, H. G. (Ederer, L. A.). Aug. 13, 1954, No. 23660/54. Class 74 (1). A net-making machine comprises a series of axially-rotatable hooks 18, one for each strand, which manipulate the strands to knot them together, a selected one of them being shrouded by a removable sleeve 28 which has a strand manipulating hook 29 and is arranged for rotational movement different from that of the hooks 18 so that, while these hooks 18 form knots, the sleeve causes its strand 14 or 138 to be looped to or passed through a loop in an adjacent strand, without being knotted therewith. The resultant net is thus formed in two pieces joined by a removable unknotted strand. The sleeve 28 bears a pinion 33 at a level different from that of pinions 31 borne on the hooks 18 and rotated by a rack 32, so that it may be rotated independently thereof. This independent rotation may be effected in any one of the following ways, namely (a) by a rack slid longitudinally in one direction, on a bar 20 carrying the hooks 18, by a face cam acting through suitable linkwork, and returned by a spring; (b) by stepping a rack 34<SP>1</SP> to the right, Fig. 11, by a pawl 86 actuated by a solenoid 80, until a holding pawl 92 is tripped by energization of a solenoid 82 and, through a tail 96, itself trips pawl 86, so that the rack may be returned by a spring 44<SP>1</SP>, or (c) Fig. 14, by a gear 122 racked round by a ratchet 118 and pawl 110 actuated by an hydraulically-operated piston 108.

In a masted lift truck, a reach carriage is movable along horizontal guides 22, 23, which are connected by a turntable mounting to a bracket on the lifting carriage, by a pair of driven endless chains 43 the arrangement being such that the connections between links 49, pivoted to the reach carriage, and the chains pass part of the way around the end sprockets at the limits of movement of the reach carriage whereby the speed of the carriage is reduced as it approaches the limits. In the embodiment shown, the reach carriage comprises a section 29, supporting the fork arms 32 and pivoted to the links 49, and a section 28 suspended from a trolley running in the guides 22, 23 and connected by a scissor linkage 33, 37, 38 to the section 29. The turntable mounting and the endless chains are driven by electric motors and limit switches are provided at the limits of travel of the endless chains.

Title: Improvements in apparatus for the mass filling of bottles, jars, boxes and the like receptacles with liquid or semi-liquids
IPC: B67C3/02
Filed: 1923-09-24
Abstract: 220,484. Owen, W. H. Sept. 24, 1923. Bottling; filling jars and like receptacles.-Apparatus filling a number of bottles, jars, boxes, tins, &c. simultaneously with liquid or semiliquid comprises a rotating or oscillating chamber or group of chambers immersed in a supply tank and arranged so that in one position an aperture in each chamber is open to admit liquid from the tank, and in another position the inlet aperture is closed and other apertures open to admit atmospheric pressure and to allow the liquid to pass from the chambers into the bottles &c. to be filled. A cylinder X is rotated or oscillated on the bottom M of a supply tank, and under a stationary cover or plate A by means of a rod H which has a square &c. end to fit a socket on the top of the cylinder, and is operated by a lever or through gearing. The cover is held in position on the cylinder by a rod F secured to the top and bottom of the tank, and a small projection G on the bottom of the cylinder is seated in a cavity in the bottom of the tank. A curved shield or cover D pressed by a spring E against the side of the cylinder covers and uncovers the inlet aperture in the side of the cylinder. While the inlet aperture is open, an aperture in the top of the cylinder registers with an aperture B in the plate A, so that liquid flows into the cylinder. In the discharge position, the aperture B registers with the air pipe C and an aperture J in the bottom of the cylinder registers with an outlet in the bottom of the tank. The number of cylinders in the tank corresponds to the number of bottles &c. to be filled simultaneously. In a modification, the cylinder is mounted on a table within the tank and is supplied with liquid through an aperture in its bottom instead of on its side. One or more blades may be secured to the side of each cylinder to agitate the liquid &c. in the tank. The cylinders may be operated by means of a rod extending through the bottom of the tank.

A packing ring 22 is compressed by bolts 18. Sealing of the joint is then completed by clay luting 26. In a modification the tubular connector C, Fig. 2 extends with clearance into the intake 12 and is centred by an annular rib 42. Springs 40 urge the connector towards the end face of the outlet 10 to compress a packing ring 44. Retaining bolts 38 have clearance in their bolt holes. The joint is completed by clay luting 26. In a further modification the connector C, Fig. 3, is in the form of a ring having an oblique face 54 abutting an oblique face of a ring 52 carried by the outlet 10, and having an annular rib 60 engaging a groove in the ring 52. A packing ring 66 is carried by a collar 63 screwed on the end of the intake 12, and is compressed thereby against the ring C which is adjusted for misalign - ment by rotation relative to the ring 52. Specification 739,717 [Group XII], is referred to.
