Title: Improved manufacture of foils from viscous solutions
IPC: B29C48/08
Filed: 1930-01-02
Abstract: <PICT:0344982/IV/1> Films and foils are produced from viscous solutions of cellulose, cellulose compounds, gelatine, or like substances by applying the solution in the wedge-shaped space between two smooth rollers adjustable with respect to their distance apart and rotating in opposite directions, the solution being carried by the roller surfaces in the form of a thin layer into a precipitating bath or evaporative medium such as hot air.  If both rollers dip into a precipitating bath, two film foils are produced simultaneously. The film is stripped off the roller inside or outside the precipitating bath and is carried forward for further treatment. The thickness of the film is regulated by the adjustable clearance between the two rollers.  Owing to the constant movement of the roller surfaces forming the walls of the pouring out opening, viscous liquids in unfiltered condition may be used.  As shown in the Figure, viscous liquid such as viscose is applied at 4 between the smooth rollers 1, 2 rotating in the direction shown by the arrows.  The liquid layer on roller 1 is carried into the precipitating bath 3 and is solidified. The film is drawn off by the roller 5, carried again into the precipitating bath by means of roller 6 and then washed and further treated in known manner.

Abstract: 523,431. Fastenings. FAIREY AVIATION CO., Ltd., and TROTTER, J. C. Jan. 6, 1939. No. 507. [Class 44] In a fastening, particularly for folding wings of aircraft, in which a split bolt is inserted in registering apertures in lugs on the parts to be connected and is then expanded by axial movement of an internal tapered member as in Specification 470,935, the operation is effected by a single link having relatively eccentric pivotal connections with the bolt and tapered member. Fig. 3 shows a pair of oppositely disposed bolts 14 operated by handle member 29 each insertable through registering apertures in a lug 13 on one wing part (not shown) positioned between a pair of lugs 11, 12 on the other part. Operation of each fastening is effected by a single link having pin and slot connection 30, with member 29, a connection by pivots 19 with extensions 16 of bolt 14, and strap and eccentric connection 22 with the tapered member 23. The bolts are guided in a housing 10 carrying the lugs 11, 12, member 29 being pivoted at 32 to a bush 33 having limited sliding movement in a slot 34 in the housing. Rotation of member 29 in clockwise direction first inserts bolts 14, continued movement of the links, which pass over dead centre to their looking position, causing eccentrics 22 to effect movement of members 23 to expand the bolts. In locking position the links rest against hook stops 35. Fastening pressure is applied resiliently owing to the link construction which comprises a central member 27 loosely secured by bolts or rivets 28 between a rigid arm 25 and a laminated spring arm 26. Floating movement of pivot 32 allows insertion or removal of one bolt before the other.

Title: Improvements in and relating to brake operating mechanism
IPC: B60T15/04
Filed: 1947-01-08
Abstract: 620,204. Fluid - pressure operated brakes. PETERS & CO., Ltd., G. D., and SWAIN, L. W. Jan. 8, 1947, No. 645. [Class 103 (i)] A valve for controlling the supply and release of pressure fluid to a brake cylinder, of the kind comprising a reaction piston subject to opposing pressures applied by the operating pedal or equivalent and the cylinder pressure includes a second reaction piston which is also subject to a fluid pressure and is effective to offer increased resistance to the pedal movement when this exceeds that necessary for normal application of the brakes. As shown, the reservoir and brake cylinder are connected respectively at 8, 9. Supply and exhaust valves 6, 7 are slidable in tubular parts 12, 21 provided on a head 2 secured to the casing part 1 and normally engage seats 15, 30 on the head 2 and on the reaction piston 42 respectively. A spring 24 abuts on the piston 42 and on a plate 25 fixed to a plunger 5 connected to a pedal. When the plunger is operated, the valve 6 is unseated by the piston 42 acting through the valve 7, permitting pressure fluid to flow through passages 8, 10, 12, 22, 9 to the brake cylinder, the pressure in which reacts on the piston 42 to compress the spring 24 and thus re-close the valve 6 if the pedal movement ceases. Upon the return of the pedal, the piston 42 moves away from the valve 7, permitting exhaust of the brake cylinder through the port 31 in the piston and an outlet formed in the casing 1. An additional reaction piston 35 slidable between the casing 3 and an extension 37 of the casing 1 is acted upon by the brake cylinder pressure through a passage 38. Upon excessive movement of the pedal, the plate 25 engages the piston 35 and the increased resistance to this movement thus offered, serves to warn the driver. The chamber 45 of the piston 35 may be conical, Fig. 3, and an expanding sealing ring 46 be provided so that the effective area upon which the fluid pressure acts increases as the piston is moved inwards. The piston 35 may be subject to the pressure in the reservoir instead of that in the brake cylinder.
