Title: Improved method and means for imparting a polished textile or the like surface to paper
IPC: D21G1/00
Filed: 1920-04-21
Abstract: 142,117. Eastern Manufacturing Co., (Assignees of Guild, H. J.). Dec. 9, 1916, [Convention date]. Embossing. - A 1 i n e n or fabric-like appearance is produced on the surface of paper by passing it in contact with flexible marking bands between a pair of pressure-applying rollers of which one has a hard surface while the other will yield sufficiently to effect a slight relative motion between the paper and the bands while under pressure, thus producing a polish on the surface of the paper. In the machine shown in Fig. 1 vertical frames 2 are provided with slots 3 in which are mounted the bearing boxes 4, 5, 6 for rollers 10, 11, 12, the roller 11 being made of a softer material than the rollers 10, 12. Pressure is applied by screws 14 engaging the uppermost boxes 6. Arms 17 are connected to the frames 2 by pins 18, and are supported by stays 37 and adjustable screws 19. Between the arms 17 are mounted guiding-rollers 21, 22, 23, for an endless embossing-web 24, to the part 24<1> of which the paper P in the form of sheets or web is fed, endless cords 32 retaining the paper on the belt. The roller 23 is mounted in a slide 25 on the arm 17, which has a rack 29 engaging a pinion 27 on a shaft 26 carried by the slide 25. A pulley 28, from which a weight 31 is suspended by a cord 30, is carried by the shaft 26, so as to move the slide 25 in the direction to apply tension to the web 24. An embossing web 60 for the other side of the paper pa.sses over the rollers 50, 51, 52, 53 in arms 49, pivoted at 47 to the frame 2 and stayed by bars 48, a tensioning-device similar to that already described being applied to the roller 53. The web 60 also passes around the rollers 10 - - 12 a.s shown in Fig. 2, the paper being carried between the webs 24 and 60 around the roller 11 and delivered by a belt 65 to a table 64. The roller 11 is preferably made of coinpressed paper fibre, and the rollers 10, 12 of cast iron, so that as the paper passes between the embossing-webs under pressure, there is a slight slip between the paper and the webs, owing to the compression of the roller 11, which produces a superficial polish or finish on the paper. A driving-pulley 66 is secured to the shaft of the roller 10 from which the other rollers are driven by friction. One of the rollers 10, 12 may be omitted so that the paper is subject to only one impression, or further sets of rollers may be provided to apply more than two impressions. Etched or engraved bands may be used in place of the embossing-webs.

Title: Improvements in and relating to automatic material weighing machines
IPC: G01G13/00
Filed: 1946-04-11
Abstract: 616,708. Automatic-feed weighers. CHRISTENSEN, H. S., OTZEN, H. H., ANDERSEN, J., and WEITEMEYER, M. April 11, 1946, No. 11098. Convention date, March 27, 1942. [Class 143] Delivery of material from a hopper 10 to a receptacle 5 suspended on a weighbeam 3 is controlled by a shutter 11 opened by an operating handle 24 and closed automatically through the downward movement of the receptacle interrupting the connection between the shutter and handle. In the particular form shown, a weight 15 biasses the shutter to its closed position. The connection between the shutter and handle 24 comprises a vertical slide-bar 18 connected by a cable 17 to the shutter and provided with rack teeth 19, or a length of chain, engageable with a gear 20 on shaft 21. The handle 24 is loose on this shaft and is adapted to turn it anticlockwise to open the shutter through a pawl and ratchet gear, a second pawl preventing reverse rotation of the gear 20 and shaft The bar 18 is guided by arms 25 of bell-cranks mounted on fixed pivots 26 and connected to trunnions 28 on the receptacle. When the receptacle lowers, upon receiving the weight of material for which the beam 3 is adjusted, the bell-cranks move the slide-bar 18 laterally out of mesh with the gear 20 so that the shutter closes under the action of the weight 15 and cannot be reopened, to add further material, until the receptacle has been emptied so that the rack 19 is re-engaged with the gear 20. In place of the handle 24 with its pawl and ratchet drive, the shaft 21 may be actuated to open the shutter by means of a depending cable wound about a drum on the shaft.

Title: Improvements in or relating to colour television receiving apparatus
IPC: H04N9/24
Filed: 1958-04-09
Abstract: 885,857. Television. TELEFUNKEN G.m.b.H. April 9, 1958 [April 9, 1957], No. 11141/58. Class 40(3). Synchronous operation between the application of colour television signals to a colour picture reproducing tube 1 and the excitation of the corresponding colour phosphors by the scanning beam is effected by controlling the phase in which the colour signals are -supplied to the tube under the control of signals generated by scanning a control pattern (corresponding to the pattern of colour phosphor elements on the screen tube 1) by means of a flying-spot scanning tube 2 and co-operating photo-multiplier tube 8. The control pattern is formed by exposing a photo-sensitive layer to the light produced by the screen of tube 2 when the beams of the two tubes are scanned isochronously and the beam of the former tube modulated by signals derived via a photo-multiplier 15 which receives light from the screen of tube 1 via a colour filter 18 passing light of one of the colours of the cyclically repeating colour phosphor elements of screen 14. After development the photo-sensitive layer is positioned in front of thescreen of tube 2 in the same position in which it was initially exposed. The control signals generated when the pattern is scanned and which are developed across resistor 10 are then supplied via a phase control circuit 11 to a circuit 12 to control the application of colour signals to tube 1.

Title: Improvements in the lamination of plastic foam
IPC: B32B27/00
Filed: 1962-03-23
Abstract: 963,043. Laminates and laminating. ROSFOR MILLS CORPORATION. March 23, 1962 [March 27, 1961], No. 11271/62. Heading B5N. Laminates of plastic foam and fabric sheets are made by feeding a sheet of plastic foam under substantially zero tension, preheating one of its surfaces by flameless heat, such as infra-red radiation, melting the surface by applying flame, maintaining it at melting temperature by additional flameless heat, feeding a sheet of fabric and uniting the sheets under pressure. The laminate so made may be cooled, edge-trimmed, fed forward along an elongated path under zero tension to eliminate internal stresses, and wound into a roll without tension. The fabric may be pre-treated to remove wrinkles. As shown, a web 14 of foam material is delivered from a roll 10 without tension by a roller 12 bearing against it, is passed around a roller 15, and is preheated, surface-melted, and retained at melting temperature by an I.R. heater 18, a gas flame 20, and a second I.R. heater 21 respectively. A fabric web 27 is similarly fed without tension from a roll 23 by a roller 25, and is passed over a device 28 for removing wrinkles. The foam and fabric webs are united by passage between rollers 29, 31, and the laminate 33 is cooled by an air-jet 34, edge-trimmed by disc knives 35, fed forward between rollers 38, 40 and wound into a roll 43 on a spindle 44 by engagement of a roller 45, the rollers being so placed and adjusted that the laminate forms a loop tensioned only by its own weight and is wound up without tension. The various parts of the apparatus are driven by an electric motor connected to the mains by a device including a time-delay relay which co-operates with solenoid valves in the gas and air supply lines to ensure that the motor is only energized subject to the pilot jet of the gas flame being in operation and to delay sufficient to secure ignition of the flame 20. To ensure the maintenance of adjustable speed relationships between the parts of the apparatus and the tensionless forwarding of the webs, the motor drives a pulley connected by a belt drive to a variable speed pulley on the shaft 30 of the roller 29, and the shaft 30 in turn drives, through belts and variable speed pulleys, the shafts of rollers 12, 25, 38 and 45. Roller 15 is connected by belt drive with roller 12. The variable-speed pulley drives may comprise conventional twin conical pulleys, one of which is axially adjustable, e.g. by control lever or by use of a set-screw.
