Filed: 1994-10-07
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE93/00296 Sec. 371 Date Oct. 6, 1994 Sec. 102(e) Date Oct. 6, 1994 PCT Filed Apr. 6, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO93/20965 PCT Pub. Date Oct. 28, 1993A method for determining the carbon equivalent (C.E.) of structure modified cast iron melts, and use of this method for adjusting the composition of a structure modified cast iron melt. The method is based on the introduction of one or more pieces of iron of low carbon content into a sample container. The iron piece or pieces has/have a size such that the iron piece/pieces will not melt completely when the sample container is filled with melt, which is allowed to solidify. The temperature of the melt is recorded as the melt solidifies. When practicing the method, there is obtained a well-defined absolute temperature as the temperature passes the  gamma -phase liquidus lines, or a temperature difference in relation to the eutectic temperature of structure-modified cast iron of a closely similar type. The carbon equivalent is determined on the basis of a phase diagram applicable to this structure-modified cast iron. The carbon equivalent of the melt is adjusted by adding carbon and/or silicon or iron of low carbon content.

Abstract: 144,578. Morley, E. R., Morley, F., and Dawson, H. R. Jan. 12, 1920. Tracker bars; winding-mechanism.-Correct registration of the tune-sheet perforations with the slots in the tracker bar 1 is obtained by endways movement of the bar. A pin 5 carried by one end of the bar is connected with one end of a lever 4 the other end of which is connected by a link 6 with the movable member 7 of a bellows 8. The movable member 11 of a second bellows 9 is joined to the member 7 by a rod 12 of adjustable length. Ducts 15 and 17 in the common support 10, of the bellows 8, 9, lead through small holes 19, 20, to the duct 13, connecting with the exhausters, which withdraw air slowly from the bellows 8, 9. Holes 21, 22 in the tracker bar, normally closed by the tune-sheet, lead respectively to bellows 9 and 8 through tubes 23 and 24. When the tune-sheet comes out of register with the tracker bar either holes 21 or 22 is uncovered. Air is thus admitted either into bellows 9 or 8 so that the exhaustion of the one is diminished relatively to the other. The rod 12 therefore moves, communicating movement in the opposite direction to the pin 5 and tracker bar 1 by the lever 4, until the hole in the tracker bar is again covered by the tune-sheet.

Abstract: <PICT:0675788/IV (a)/1> <PICT:0675788/IV (a)/2> <PICT:0675788/IV (a)/3> <PICT:0675788/IV (a)/4> A method of advancing and processing continuous threads &c. of viscose &c. is characterized in that threads are disposed in different positions along the axis of a cylinder, are fed continuously on to a rotating cylinder (on which they are treated), the cylinder being constantly moved axially in one direction while the threads are carried thereby, and after winding round the cylinder once or more times in adjacent helical turns, are taken off the cylinder and led to a further processing point, or are stored.  The apparatus shown in one modification comprises a number of lines 52 of cylinders 27, the lines being arranged one above the other, each line being used to effect a part of the processing of the filaments 1 extruded through jets 3 into a bath 2.  Each filament is threaded a number of times about each line 52 of cylinders to form a helical wrap 26 and is gradually led downwardly, being bobbin spun on to the receiving carrier.  The cylinders 27, ridged at 32, are each furnished with interengaging notches 30 and fingers 29 at their opposite ends and the ridges 32 are somewhat raised in the areas 33. The supply of cylinders at each level is maintained by a vertical conveyer 36 driven by a motor 60, the cylinders being carried in members 38, a trip device operating at each level, to stop the conveyer and roll a cylinder down skids 47 on to rollers 42, 43 (not shown) when a cylinder is required to be fed.  These rollers 42, 43, of which rollers 43 are arranged on skew axes, feed each delivered cylinder 27 towards the body of cylinders already in the line 52. The line of cylinders, supported at 53 by two sets of freely-rotating rolls whose axes are at right angles to each other, is rotated and advanced longitudinally by devices 34, each comprising an inner driven ring rotating in a ball-race and a number of friction rolls driven therefrom through worm and worm-wheel gearing.  A cylinder-cleaning device comprising water jets and rotating brushes may be fitted at 35.  The device at 53 may be fitted with a knife to cut off any turns of yarn still remaining on a passing cylinder.  In a modification, Fig. 21, the movement of the cylinders 27 at any level, takes place in a horizontal plane, the cylinders being handed on by a carrier cage 97 oscillated back and forth by an arm 96 actuated by a reversible-torque motor 102 governed by a trip-device 101.  In this modification, the filament moves upwardly from the spinning bath, then about the several lines of cylinders and is collected on a winding spindle.  U.S.A. Specification 2,495,053 is referred to.
