Title: Improvements in or relating to collars for personal wear
IPC: A41B3/06
Filed: 1935-05-13
Abstract: 449,975. Collar stiffeners. CLITHEROE SHIRTINGS, Ltd.. Grindleton Mills, Clitheroe, Lancashire, and McCLEMENTS, R. J., Hazel Croft, Bramhall Moor Lane, Hazel Grove, Stockport. May 13, 1935, No. 13937. [Class 141] The inside face of the turnover flap of a soft collar is provided with pockets each extending from the front edge towards the rear a distance approximately one third of the length of the collar, and opening at the rear so as to allow of the insertion of a thin celluloid or like stiffener formed to the shape and size of the pocket. The construction of the pocket is shown in Fig. 3 in which d is the front face of the collar and e an interlining. The mid portion of the lining is provided with a facing f and the end portions with facings g each of which extends rather more than a third of the way along the collar and overlaps the mid portion. The overlapping edge of each facing g is provided with a hem g<1> but is not secured to the underlying facing f. A pocket is thereby formed, into which the celluloid stiffener h can be inserted. In a modification shown in Fig. 5, the pocket is reduced in size by the line of stitching o, parallel to the collar band, and a stiffener of corresponding shape provided. In this case, the points k are flexible and adjust themselves to the shape of the chest. The usual tabs i may be provided in both forms of the invention.

Title: Improvements in or relating to semi-moistureproof, heat-sealable sheet wrapping material
Inventor: BERRY WILLIAM
IPC: C08J7/052
Filed: 1953-05-18
Abstract: A moisture-proof, heat-sealable coating composition for regenerated cellulose film comprises a film-forming agent and a waxy polymer of an n-alkyl ether of vinyl alcohol, where the alkyl group is 12-34 C atoms, e.g. n-octadecyl- or n-cetyl-vinyl ether. The amount of film-former is 35-99.5 per cent and of waxy polymer is 0.5-10 per cent.  The film-former is an organic solvent soluble cellulose derivative, e.g. cellulose nitrate or acetate, or ethyl cellulose, or rubber hydrochloride.  The composition may also include 0-20 per cent resinous blending agent, e.g. gum dammar, rosin, rosin-modified glyceryl citrate alkyd resin, or ester gum; 0-55 per cent plasticizer, e.g. tricresyl phosphate, dicyclohexyl, or dibutyl, phthalates, or tricyclohexyl citrate; up to 2.5 per cent paraffin wax of melting point 50 DEG  C. or above, or microcrystalline wax to improve anti-blocking; and up to 2 per cent silicone oil.  Various combinations of the above constituents are exemplified, but, in all examples, the film-former is nitro-cellulose.  Specifications 545,523, 593,947, [both in Group VIII], and 664,248 are referred to.ALSO:A moistureproof, heat-sealable coating composition for regenerated cellulose film comprises a film-forming agent and a waxy polymer of an n-alkyl ether of vinyl alcohol, where the alkyl group is 12-34C atoms, e.g. n-octadecyl- or n-cetyl-vinylether.

Title: Driving device for yarn carrier rods in straight bar knitting machines

Filed: 1937-05-28
Abstract: 492,067. Knitting-machines. LIEBERKNECHT, R, and LIEBERKNECHT, K., (trading as LIEBERKNECHT, K., [Firm of]). May 28, 1937, No. 14919. Convention date, July 6, 1936. [Class 74 (ii)] A straight-bar machine having a friction box for driving one or more yarn carrier rods during any traverse has additional friction means on the same friction rod for driving any of the other carrier rods in the same direction during the same traverse of the friction rod. As shown in Fig. 1, three carrier rods 1, 2, 3, are operated selectively by fingers 14, 15, 16 respectively extending from a friction box 13 on a friction bar 12 and movable into and out of operative position by springs 25 and a set of cams 26, 27, 28 slidably and non-rotatably mounted on a ratchet driven shaft 29. When the friction box 13 is reciprocated, the fingers, springs 25 and cams are reciprocated as a whole, each cam being so formed that on rotation of the shaft 29 the finger controlled thereby is held for the necessary time in upper and lower positions. The friction bar 12 is also provided with additional friction boxes 47 48, having fingers 49, 50, which, by engagement with left- and righthand adjustable stops 51 ... 56, displace the carrier rods not operated by the main friction boxes. In producing fabrics with splicings or reinforcements, the rod 1 is moved to the right across the entire width by the finger 14 whilst, during the same stroke of the friction bar, the rod 3 is moved over the left splicing by the finger 49 and the rod 2 is carried across the right splicing by the finger 15 engaging the driver 42. On the next traverse of the friction bar, the rod 2 is moved fully to the left and rods 1 and 3 moved over the right and left splicings by fingers 50 and 16 respectively, and on the third stroke the rod 3 makes a full traverse while the rods 1 and 2 move over right and left splicings respectively. The inward movement of the carrier rods for splicing purposes is limited by adjustable stops 57 ... 62 controlled by a screw 72 and moved into and out of engagement with stops 64... 69 on the carrier rods by cams 71 on the shaft 29. To prevent the fingers 14, 15, 16 missing the drivers or dogs 41 &c. on the carrier rods, each finger may be divided longitudinally into two fingers 14a, 14b, &c., Fig. 6, and each partial finger provided with a spring 25 and a cam roller 32a or 32b. The dogs 41 &c. are formed with sloping edges to facilitate the entry of the fingers. According to the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91, the outward movement of the friction boxes 47, 48 is limited by stops. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
