Title: Improvements in or relating to apparatus for unloading metal or other sheets from a drying oven or the like
Inventor: LEHMANN ARNOLD MAX
IPC: F26B25/00
Filed: 1950-01-19
Abstract: 677,284. Endless conveyers. BALLARD & CO., Ltd., F. J. Jan. 18, 1951. [Jan. 19, 1950 ; Feb. 22, 1950] Nos. 1488/50 and 4568/50. Classes 78 (i) and 78 (iv). Sheets 57 are unloaded from the wire frames 16 of an oven conveyer 12 onto the table 15 of a carriage 13 by bars 22 which are either magnetised or have suction devices to hold a sheet. The bars are vertically reciprocated. A cam 25 on the reciprocating carriage strikes an arm 26 to cause the arms 22 to rise and a pawl 28 retains them in a raised position until it contacts an abutment 30 on the carriage which lowers the arms to deposit the sheet on the carriage table. The carriage then moves along rails 11 to beneath a vertically moving horizontal frame 31 having suction devices 32. The frame is lowered to engage the sheet and retains it while the carriage 13 returns to the oven conveyer. To invert the sheet so that it is restored to its initial condition, the sheet is deposited on the table 38 of a second carriage 14 which moves simultaneously with the first carriage. The carriage is rotatable about a shaft 37 and has a cam device with rollers 43, 44 which engage cam tracks 51, 46 respectively so that the carriage rotates through 90 degrees on a rearward journey and through a further 90 degrees on the return, the table then being inverted, the sheet is attached beneath the table and is dropped onto a stacking pile. In an alternative form, without inverting, the sheet is retained by suction devices beneath the first carriage. Various devices are described to aid the transfer of the sheet from a wire frame onto the table. The sheet is blown onto by an air jet from below at the conveyer end and axially moving suction devices are used on the table and a trip device to hold down the outer edge of the frame, the frames being connected to form chain links. If the sheets are to be inverted, the second carriage is used and in one position is brought into vertical alignment with the first carriage and beneath it so that the sheet may be deposited on the lower table which inverts it before depositing it on a stack. The gripping devices used may be suction or magnetic.

Title: Improvements in or relating to mechanism for removing cured tyres from tyre curing presses
IPC: B29D30/06
Filed: 1962-01-16
Abstract: 924,312. Removing tyres from presses. McNEIL MACHINE & ENGINEERING CO. Jan. 16, 1962 [March 28, 1961], No. 1538/62. Class 87(2). In a mechanism to remove cured tyres from tyre curing presses a lower sprocket assembly 37 is firmly held by the stanchion 36, stationed between the 2 lower mould halves of a dual-type press, and may be rotated by means of the hydraulic cylinder 38 and connecting rod 59. The lower assembly 37 is connected to a rotatable shaft 73 (fixed in the stanchion) by an adjustable chain 39 and an upper sprocket assembly 72, 40 so that a rotation of the lower sprocket assembly 37 causes a rotation of shaft 73. The tyre conveyer 42 is pivoted on arm 41, which is rigidly attached to the shaft 73, and is kept in contact with a stationary quadriarcuate arm 45, fixed firmly to the stanchion, by a torsion spring 9 and a cam follower 43 (see Fig. 7) so that when the arm 41 rotates the conveyer is constrained to move in the manner indicated by the dotted outlines in Fig. 9, thus coming up under the tyre, lifting it from the press, and tilting it on to a removal conveyer 46 (not shown). The tyre conveyer 42, as shown in Fig. 7, is U-shaped and has in each projecting leg portion a set of tapered rollers 88 fixed to a wing-shaped bracket 87, which contact the underside of the tyre. The projecting leg portions are connected by a cross-member 83, on either side of which are conveyer rollers 84 to facilitate easy removal of the tyres. The roller 88 (a) has a larger diameter than the other rollers thus enabling a larger effective force to be used to free the tyre from the curing bag. The complete motion of the tyre conveyer can be seen from Figs. 1-5 (not shown), in which the conveyer picks up the tyre from the opened mould and tilts it so that it slides by gravity on to the removal conveyer 46 (not shown). The apparatus may be also used with a single type curing press. Specification 652,367 is referred to.
Patent GB-871292-A (GB)
Title: Improved polymerization process
IPC: C08F10/00
Filed: 1958-01-16
Abstract: Olefin polymers are made by polymerizing one or more olefins in a reactor in the gaseous phase, at a temperature below the softening point of the polymer in the presence of an agitated mix of a solid, inert, particulate, dispersion medium, which may be formed in situ and a particulate chromium oxide catalyst in which at least part of the chromium is in the hexavalent state, and has associated with it at least one other oxide selected from silica, alumina, zirconia, or thoria, and further controlling the flow of the gaseous olefins to the reactor so that the gaseous pressure is insufficient to effect fluidization of the catalyst mix.  The olefin may be ethylene alone or admixed with propylene, 1-butene, 1-pentene, or 1, 3-butadiene. The dispersion may be a solid polymer of the type formed in the reaction, a silica-alumina gel, zirconia, thoria, alumina, silica, acid-treated clays, bauxite, alundum, or felspar.  In a modification, a polymeric dispersant is formed in situ by polymerizing the olefins in the presence of a liquid diluent in which the catalyst is suspended, removing subsequently the diluent, and continuing the polymerization in the gaseous phase.  The diluent may be propane, butane, pentane, cyclopentane, methylcyclopentane, or cyclohexane. The polymerization is generally effected as a continuous process and the Specification contains details of such a process together with a flow diagram.  The exemplified process is one in which ethylene is polymerized in situ to form the dispersant, and subsequently further supplies of ethylene are polymerized in the gaseous phase.

Printing-surfaces. - Relates to registering- devices for adjusting sets of printing-plates on mounting-blocks in multi-colour printing, or sets of photographic plates or transparencies on the glass plate of a photographic printing-apparatus, or for other purposes, and particularly to devices of the kind having lateral guide-members over which can move a longitudinal guide-member having a straight-edge or locating-bar adjustable along it. According to the invention, adjustable locking-members are provided for holding the 'longitudinal guide-member and the locating-bar in adjusted position, and independent means is provided for effecting a fine adjustment of these parts. In a construction adapted for registering printing-plates, a mounting board or plate a is provided with parallel guide-members b and with a transverse bar c, to form a three-sided frame, within which mounts for the printing-plates are secured by the aid of locking-bars g, which can be set in various position by means of pins engaging holes a<1>, the mounts being fixed by means of wedges or printers' quoins. A longitudinal guide-member d is adapted to slide over the lateral guide-members b, and carries a sliding shoe e, to which is hinged a locating-bar f. Two locating-pins f<1>, f<2>, one of which is adjustable, are carried by the locating-bar, and are adapted to engage holes in the bevelled margins of the printing-plates. The pins are movable vertically in the locating-bar to effect their engagement and disengagement, or two pins may be mounted in a crosshead carried by a sliding rod. The pins may be carried by an adjustable extension of the locating-bar. The guide-members b are recessed to receive racks b<2>, which are engaged by toothed locking-blocks d<1>, d<2> at opposite ends of the longitudinal guide-member d, one of the locking- blocks being retractable by means such as an eccentric. The racks b<2> can be adjusted endwise by means of micrometer devices b<5>, so as to give a fine adjustment to the guide-member d. The member d also carries a rack d<3>, which is engaged by a movable toothed block e<1> on the sliding shoe e, that carries the locating-bar. The rack d<3> can be finely adjusted by means of a micrometer device d<5>. Scales are provided on the guide-members b, d. The units to be adjusted may have registration marks instead of holes, and other co-operating means than the locating-pins may then be used. The mounting- frame may be dispensed with, or replaced by a frame separate from the guide-members. The toothed racks may be replaced by plain bars, and friction or other locking-devices may be employed.

Abstract: 780,249. Transistors. NATIONAL RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION. Jan. 24, 1955 [Jan. 21, 1954; March 18, 1954], Nos. 1816/54 and 7888/54. Class 37. A silicon transistor having an N-type body comprises a point contact collector electrode containing an impurity from Group 5, and a point contact emitter electrode containing an impurity from Group 3, a current having been passed during manufacture between one of these electrodes and the base to improve the collector-emitter current-voltage characteristics. Alternatively the body may be P-type and the Groups 5 and 3 interchanged. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement for electroforming in which the silicon body 1, the surface of which has been etched with a hydro-fluoric acid solution or a CP4 etch (as described in U.S.A. Specification 2,619,414), is provided with a collector electrode 3 and emitter 4. Five millisecond pulses of increasing amplitude from source 5 are passed in the forward (or the reverse) direction between the collector and base and the emitter and base selectively by means of switch 7 until the desired characteristic is obtained. If forming is continued beyond the optimum point the position can be restored by applying low-frequency alternating current from source 8. With N-type silicon, the collector may be of tantalum and the emitter of " Duralumin " (Registered Trade Mark). Alternative electrode materials comprising donors or acceptors such as phosphor-bronze, aluminium alloys, or Group 3 or Group 5 elements, possibly in the form of a bronze with copper, are specified. The invention provides improved power gain and high collector resistance.
