Title: Improvements relating to chenille thread manufacturing machines
IPC: D04D3/00
Filed: 1961-09-29
Abstract: 989,681. Winding chenille. A. HERCFELDS. Sept. 29, 1961 [Oct. 5, 1960], No. 35043/61. Heading D1D. Chenille coming from a continuous chenille making machine has its tension and twist reduced during winding to values which are just sufficient to produce satisfactory winding on a bobbin or mandrel from which the thread can subsequently be removed in a coil without damaging the chenille structure. In Fig. 2 the chenille 1 coming from a pull and twist device B forming part of the chenille making device, has its twist reduced by being wound by an inverted flyer. The tension in the chenille may be reduced and regulated by driving the spindle 9 through a variable speed device which is controlled by a displaceable member about which the chenille passes. The spindle 9 is driven by at least one friction disc 15 which may have a rim of metal or be covered with leather; this friction drive may be arranged to slip when the chenille tension passes a choosen value thus acting as a tension limiting device. The spindle 9 is reciprocated by a cam 21. In other forms the flyer may be overhead mounted or, as shown in Fig. 5, the flyer and the spindle 9 are horizontally arranged. In this case the spindle has a collar 29 engaging a recess in a head 30 which is reciprocated by a cam 35 having a pair of cam grooves 33 engaged by a pair of fingers on a forked member 34. In a further form packages are slideably keyed to the spindles and rotatably rests on an horizontal platform which is vertically reciprocated by a cam to provide the building motion. In a further form a ring and traveller arrangement is provided to wind and reduce the twist in the chenille. The mandrel 13 may be elastic or be mechanically collapsible to facilitate removal of the chenille in a coil.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the treatment of artificial threads, filaments and the like
IPC: D01D10/04
Filed: 1934-12-08
Abstract: Artificial filaments, threads, and like materials in the form of hollow cakes obtained by collection in centrifugal spinning boxes are washed and then subjected to a drying process in which each cake is dried from the inside to the outside, and a water and air tight covering is maintained in close contact with the outside of the cake until the whole of the cake is dry, any excessive pressure of the covering on the outside of the cake being avoided. The covering may consist of a strip of material placed round the cake so that one end laps over the other, and by spring or elastic means, the covering may be drawn inwards as the cake shrinks and thus be maintained in close contact with the cake.  A curved strip of metal or material known under the Registered Trade Mark "Bakelite" may be used.  The diameter of the curved strip should be somewhat greater than the outside diameter of the cake when dry.  The strip is stretched to cover the wet cake and allowed to spring back to embrace the outside surface.

Abstract: 1316985 Sensing records ZELLWEGER Ltd USTER FACTORIES FOR APPARATUS & MACHINES 22 July 1970 [20 Aug 1969] 35430/70 Heading G4M  A label applied to an article includes end codes 25, 27, Fig. 1c and an identification code 26, the codes preferably being recorded as concentric arcs extending over more than 90 degrees or more than 180 degrees, and is scanned in a direction which is not parallel to the direction of relative movement between the article and the scanning unit, the end codes allowing recognition of the direction of scanning or the validity of the data scanned. The output E, Fig. 3a of the scanning unit is used to synchronize a clock pulse generator 60 which shifts the pulse train E into a shift register 70. The stages corresponding to the end codes are examined by logic circuits 80 to determine whether the data has been scanned in the forward or backward direction, the outputs 91, 92 controlling inversion logic 90 so as to produce outputs A1<SP>1</SP>-A25<SP>1</SP> in the forward scanning order only and the presence of an output 91 or 92 being recognized by logic 140 as indicating valid data. On receipt of a signal 91 or 92 logic 140 enables parallel loading of a shift register 110 and subsequent clearing of the register after a time interval allowing for a further scan of the data to take place. The two scan results are compared at 120, and if agreement is found, logic 150 gates a pulse train T to read out register 110 as a series pulse train. If the code bars are provided as arcs extending over slightly more than 90 degrees scanning may take place in orthogonal directions to ensure that a valid scanning sweep takes place in at least one of them.

Abstract: 1,049,534. Heat storing apparatus; air heaters. DIMPLEX Ltd. Sept. 17, 1963 [Sept. 18, 1962], No. 35500/62. Headings F4S and F4U. A thermal storage heater comprises a eutectic mixture of salts, means for housing such mixture, a heat insulated casing for said housing means, means for heating said eutectic mixture, and means for permitting the escape of heat from the eutectic mixture to the space surrounding the heater. As shown, a eutectic mixture 8 of sodium chloride and sodium carbonate, or sodium chloride and cuprous chloride, or lead chloride and potassium chloride is stored in a metal or ceramic canister 7 and is heated by an electric element 9 controlled by a clockwork mechanism, whilst the supply is also limited by a temperature limiting thermostat. The supply is continued either until the mixture has just attained its melting point or alternatively beyond this point to store additional heat in the mixture. Several canisters together within a steel casing may form the heater, each canister resting on insulating material 10 and being separated from the walls of the heater and the other canisters either by insulation 11 of foil-faced asbestos sheeting, glass fibre matting or mineral wool, or by air gaps. The supply of heat from each canister is controlled by the opening 6 acted upon by a damper 5. This damper is linked with the opening of louvres 2. In a further form of heater (Fig. 4, not shown), a fan 27 forces air around canisters 22 through the ducts 24 between the same, to leave by grilles 28 situated at the end of plinths 26. The temperature of the air emitted to the room is controlled by mixing this warmed air with a suitable proportion of cold air which has passed directly from the fan to said plinths 26. The vessel itself has double walls 32 for insulation, and further insulation 30. Elements 23 heat the eutectic mixture.
