IPC: B60R16/03
Filed: 1969-01-03
Abstract: 1282751 Supply circuits for road vehicles; protective arrangements JOSEPH LUCAS (INDUSTRIES) Ltd 18 Dec 1969 [3 Jan 1969] 540/69 Headings H2H and H2K A road vehicle supply system includes a current-sensitive device which operates to complete an auxiliary circuit should current through the device become excessive, for example, due to a short-circuit. In the system shown, a battery 19 is connected to a terminal 13 of a thermally operable circuit breaker 11. In normal operation, a movable contact 16 connects terminal 13 with a terminal 12 so as to supply an ignition switch 26 and a lighting switch 32. The ignition switch 26 is connected to an ignition coil terminal 31, and to other loads by way of a terminal 28. If now any part of the circuit between the terminal 13 and earth short-circuits, the circuit breaker 11 will operate to move the contact 16 out of contact with terminal 12 and into a position where it connects terminals 14 and 15 with terminal 13. A warning lamp 17 is now energized, and the ignition coil and dipped headlamps 38, 39 are supplied with current for a short time until the contact 16 returns to its normal position, allowing time to stop the vehicle. Fuses 29, 36 and 37 prevent current flowing to the fault through the auxiliary circuit, and may be replaced by diodes. In modifications the circuit breaker may be operated by a relay coil, and may be arranged to latch in its fault position.

Title: Process and apparatus for spinning staple fibres
IPC: D01H4/08
Filed: 1965-01-07
Abstract: Staple fibres are spun into yarn, by separating the fibres on a roller to which they are continuously delivered, conducting the operated fibres and the air in which they are entrained into a rapidly rotating hollow member, the speed of the fibres and the entraining air being aculated to that of the number in their passage from the roller conducting the fibres to the inner wall of the body when they are collected and retained by combing-means and by centrifugal action, operated from the entraining air, and withdrawing the fibres as spun yarn while deflecting and drawing off the air. Fibres are separated by needles 4, Fig. 1, not shown, on a roller 3 from a diver 1 which is delivered by a porcupine 2.  One separated fibres are picked up by the needles of an accelerating roller 6 rotating at a faster speed and are conveyed through a conduit 7 with a tangential outlet 8 and disposed in a stationary member 15, Fig. 2, (not shown), to a hollow member 9.  This rotates about a hollow shaft 17 at a speed approximating that of the roller 6.  The fibres are returned on needles 21 in an annular internal groove while the air is withdrawn as ducts 23 rotate through apertures 25.  The films are withdrawn as yarn through a guide 26 and the tube 7 by rollers 27. In another form, the accelerating roller 6 is replaced by a converging spiral conduit 31 in a fixed member 32; in this arrangement the air is drawn off by a fan, Fig. 4, (not shown), common to a number of devices.

Filed: 1950-01-12
Abstract: 667,308. Clamping devices, spanners, wrenches, vices. GARRINGTON & SONS, Ltd., J. Jan. 12, 1950 [Jan. 24, 1949], No. 803/50. Classes 61 (ii) and 61 (iii). [Also in Group XXV] In adjustable spanners, wrenches and vices having one jaw fixed to a body or shank provided with a toothed rack, the movable jaw is adjustable on the shank by a conical worm which engages with the rack teeth and has its rotational axis inclined thereto, the smaller end of the worm being directed away from the movable jaw. The slidable jaw 39 of a spanner, Fig. 3, has a conical worm 43 which engages with teeth on the shank 32, the worm being supported by a spindle 48 held frictionally or keyed to the jaw. For quick adjustment finger pressure applied to a leaf spring 56 riveted to the jaw 39 causes the jaw to pivot on the rivet head 53 and disengage the worm from the rack. In a modified construction, Fig. 5 (not shown), the shank of the fixed jaw is shortened and the strap member of the jaw 39 is extended to form a handle. In a pipe wrench, Fig. 6, the movable jaw comprises a member 61 slidable on the shank having pivoted thereto a gripping member 65 provided with an operating handle 67. In a modification, Fig. 7, the gripping member 72 is pivoted to one end of a link 73 the other end of which is pivoted either to the sliding member 71 as shown or to the supporting spindle 63 of the worm 62. In a further modification, Fig. 8 (not shown), the movable jaw comprises two laterally slidable members pivotally connected by a link. In a bench vice, Fig. 10, a conical worm 95 operated by a key 100 is attached to the movable jaw 92 which is riveted to a metal strap 93 slidable on the toothed body portion 83. The key comprises two metal bars having C-shaped ends provided with pegs 105 to engage holes 99 in the sides of a peripheral groove in the worm.

[Also in Group XXXII] Apparatus for conveying a cast ingot 4, Fig. 1, to a rolling mill &c. comprises a horizontally extending heated chamber 1 which is rotatable slowly on its axis to equalize the temperature of the ingot throughout its crosssection and is mounted on a carriage 8. The chamber is lined with refractory material and has guide rails 3, Fig. 2, of wear-resistant material to protect the lining. The ends may be sealed by closures 2 supplied with protective gases or connected to a source of heat 17, 22, Fig. 3 (not shown). Bands 5 on the chamber are supported by rollers 6 for rotation about the longitudinal axis. The rollers 6 are supported on a turntable 7 on the carriage 8 so that the chamber can be turned in any required direction for inserting or discharging the work by means of pushers 14, 19 (not shown). Adjustment in height is provided by wedges 11 which are moved by threaded spindles 10 in a motor driven pinion 9.

Abstract: Chloroprene copolymers are recovered from acidic dispersions obtained by acid emulsion polymerization of (i) chloroprene, (ii) a vinyl monomer which contains a carboxyl, ketonic or nitrile group, and, if desired (iii) at least one further comonomer which is copolymerizable with chloroprene, by adjusting the pH value of the acidic copolymer dispersion to between 7 and 12 with aqueous alkali metal hydroxide, followed by removal of excess chloroprene monomer and recovery of the copolymer. Preferably the excess chloroprene is removed by steam stripping and the recovery of the copolymer is effected by freeze-coagulation. The vinyl monomer (ii) preferably has the formula CH2 = CR-COOH in which R is hydrogen or C1 to C4 alkyl group, an aryl, cycloalkyl or aralkyl group.  The comonomer (iii) is preferably a vinyl-substituted aromatic compound; an ester or nitrile of acrylic or methacrylic acid; or a compound having conjugated double bonds. Examples relate to the recovery of copolymers of chloroprene with methacrylic acid, acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene, methacrylic-acid and acrylonitrile.  The chloroprene copolymers obtained by the method of this invention may be used as solvent adhesives.
