Title: Improvements in or relating to plant for treating solid objects in a liquid bath
IPC: B01J19/08
Filed: 1947-03-14
Abstract: A plant for treating solid objects in a liquid bath, e.g. for degreasing, cleaning, electroplating, comprises at least one rotary drum 10 containing the liquid and furnished with an eccentric aperture 13 for the introduction of the objects, the said aperture which forms the entrance of a helical channel 14 leading to the drum, periodically lying below the level of the liquid and the said channel having at any time during the drum's rotation at least one cross-section lying completely above the level of liquid in the drum. An anode conductor 16 may be provided for electrolysis.  As shown, the end surface 11 of the drum has apertures 13 for the articles and 15 for an anode rod. The aperture 13 forming the entrance of a channel 14, the centre line of which forms a half winding of a helical line, periodically lies below the liquid level on rotation of the drum.  When the opening 14a of the channel 14 comes <PICT:0647471/III/1> <PICT:0647471/III/2> below the liquid level that portion of the channel which is also below the liquid level is also filled with liquid; but since the channel extends over about 180 degrees it will never be located completely below liquid level so that always at least one complete cross-section lies above liquid level.  Thus, liquid will not reach the outlet 13 at any time during rotation.  The articles fed by a shoot 32 past an angularly adjustable partition 33 enter at 13 and after traversing the channel 14 are carried through the bath by the helical ridge 21 to the outlet channel 22 and discharge opening 24, liquid draining into the drum through the perforated ridge portion 23 and radial end plate 231.  In Fig. 4 the drum B is shown fitted with a suction line 30 for removal of developed gases, and the drum C has a liquid supply 31 and discharge 35 for excess liquid.

Title: Improvements in knitting machine
IPC: D04B9/00
Filed: 1948-03-09
Abstract: 661,372. Knitting. SCOTT & WILLIAMS, Inc. March 9, 1948 [March 26, 1947], No. 7246/48. Class 74 (ii). In a superposed cylinder knitting-machine there are provided means for feeding main yarns to the needles at a feed point, means for feeding an auxiliary yarn to the needles at the same feed-point to be knitted into loops with a main yarn, means for effecting changes of the main yarns fed to the needles, and means for maintaining in action said auxiliary yarn independently of changes of the main yarns. A plating yarn can be introduced or withdrawn, independently of main yarns or elastic yarn, which are controlled in a manner similar to that disclosed in Specifications 301,350, [Class 74 (ii)], and 617,148, by means of an independent auxiliary slide 250 slidable along the main-yarn slide 80 and controlling an extra pawl 246 which racks round an extra assembly consisting of ratchet 248, yarn guide controlling cam 244 and clamp- and cutter-controlling cam, mounted on the same shaft as the assemblies controlling the main yarns and elastic yarn. When the slide 250 is in the position of Fig. 4, the nose 247 of the pawl engages the part 256 of the slide 250 and the pawl is ineffective. When the slide 250 is moved to the left by lugs 274 on the pattern chain, acting through a lever 266 and a Bowden cable, the pawl nose drops into the cut-away 254 and the pawl steps the ratchet 248 through one-sixth of a revolution at each stroke. The cam 244 has three high lobes so that the plating yarn guide 200 is inserted and withdrawn at successive strokes. The cam 244 advances the guide 200, against the action of a spring 228, through a lever 240 having an adjustable follower 242 and a yieldable yarn guide end 222, the yarn guide end 204 being rocked away from the needle circle, against the action of a spring 230, by the action of a cam edge 236 on a pin 226. Edges 238, 234 permit inward movement at each end of the stroke so that the yarn shall be properly presented for feeding and for clamping and cutting. The clamp and cutter 206 is operated by the associated cam of the assembly, through a lever 212, a Bowden wire 210 and a lever 208. A wire hook 276 on the latch guard 278 separates the plating yarn, which feeds from a position above the hook, from the main yarn in action, fed from a position below the hook; the hook also maintains a constant main yarn lead whilst the main yarn finger travels from its feeding to its trapping position. Yarn changes involving the plating yarn and a main yarn are timed to be made simultaneously, to avoid horizontal colour streaks. The plating yarn plates on the outside of upper cylinder stitches but is hidden behind the main yarn in lower cylinder stitches; rib stitches may thus be made to stand out in colour contrast. Specification 525,540, [Group XXIV], also is referred to.

Title: Suture and holder
IPC: A61B17/06
Filed: 1963-02-22
Abstract: 970,685. Putting up sutures. ETHICON Inc. Feb. 22, 1963 [Feb. 23, 1962], No. 7246/63. Heading A5R. A reel, on which a suture is wound and stored prior to use, receives the suture in a peripheral groove formed by two flanges 14, 15, Fig. 3, on a rim 13. Except for a central boss 18, the space within the rim 13 is closed by a plate-like portion 16 which is flush with the rear surface thereof so as to leave an annular recess 17 in which the needle 27 can be stored. The reel is preferably made from a soft synthetic resin so that the needle can be pushed through a raised spoke-like portion 19, Fig. 2. Slots 22 allow the suture to be gripped, if necessary, during an operation and wider slots 23 allow the suture to run easily from the needle to the groove. The point of the needle is thus protected within the recess 17 and, in the preferred manner of use, the suture is drawn off and straightened by stretching before the needle is withdrawn, so as to avoid the possibility of harming the user.
