Title: Improvements relating to the construction of shop fronts, show cases and like structures or frames
IPC: E06B1/38
Filed: 1932-02-06
Abstract: 391,564. Frames for shop fronts and showcases. MORGAN, H., 40A, Trinity Road, Birchields, Birmingham. Feb. 6, 1932, Nos. 3552 and 4162. [Class 20 (iii).] Relates to corner joints for the metal frameworks of shop fronts, showcases, and the like. According to the invention, the opposed ends of two hollow or tubular frame members disposed in the same plane are interlockingly engaged with transverse slots, gaps, apertures, or recesses in a third frame member disposed in a different plane, the said opposed ends meeting in front of the third member. According to one construction, the two horizontal sill members 1, Figs. 1 and 2, of a shop front are interlockingly engaged with a vertical member 2. Each sill is formed with a raised hollow rib 3 which forms a shoulder for the glazing, and with an internal rib 4 which constitutes an abutment for the lower end of the member 2. The member 2 is of substantially triangular form and has at each of two corners a square portion 7. A horizontal slot 6 terminating in vertical extensions 6a extends completely across two sides of the member 2 and is adapted to receive the horizontal portions of the ribs 3. In assembling, the members 1 are slidden horizontally into the slot 6 until they meet, as shown, in front of the member 2 in which position they are secured by screws passing through the ribs 3 and corners 7. Fig. 9 shows an arrangement for interconnect- - ing two transomes 11 with the vertical member 2. The transomes are substantially of T- section and are adapted to be received within a transverse gap 13 in the member 2. This gap extends completely across two sides of the member 2 and is of a depth equal to that of the heads 12 of the transomes. The frame members are secured in position by screws passing through the rear sides 7a of the corners 7 and into the upstanding and downwardly depending limbs of the head 12. In both constructions shown, the horizontal frame members are gapped (as at 9 and 14) at their meeting ends in accordance with the contour of the member 2 and are suitably mitred so that they both meet in front of and behind this member.

Title: Improvements in percussion tools
IPC: B25D11/06
Filed: 1943-03-05
Abstract: 564,001. Percussion tools. GOLDSCHMIDT, R. March 5, 1943, No. 3654. [Class 124] A percussion tool comprises an electric motor 21 drivably connected with a rotatable and axially reciprocable striker 26 carrying one or more centrifugal masses 31 bearing against the interior surface of a tubular body 20, a part of which provides a helical track 38 which imposes a reaction on the masses serving to convert energy of rotation of the striker into energy of translation, the track and masses being so shaped that the dynamic coupling between them is closer or looser according to whether the helical path followed by the masses is of the same or opposite hand as the track, and the change from loose to close coupling-taking place when the striker changes its direction of reciprocation after impact with a slidable tool or tool holder 23. The striker may be carried by a slidable shaft splined to the motor shaft, or, as shown, the striker may slidably engage a splined extension 25A of the motor shaft 25. The shape and operation of the helical track 38 is described in detail and illustrated in the Specification. On one side of this track there is a conical race 35, and on the other side a short race 39 with a circumferential groove 40 which serves as a starting and idling zone for the masses 31. These masses may be in the form of circumferentially ridged rollers accommodated in diametrically opposite pockets 30 and guided by radial slots 33 in the striker 26. Alternatively, rollers may be rotatably mounted in hollow rectangular blocks slidably guided in the pockets, balls may have a working fit in the pockets, or the striker may comprise a single centrifugal ball drivably engaged in a longitudinal groove in the shaft to deliver eccentric blows.

Abstract: 1455623 Lifting and lowering loads in stages WIKSTROM INTERNATIONAL AB 28 Jan 1974 [29 Jan 1973] 03765/74 Heading B8J Apparatus for lifting and/or lowering a heavy load 15 in stages comprises a climbing mast 10 in sections and climbing members 2, each of which interacts with a respective climbing rod 6 passing through the climbing member 2. The climbing members 2 are mounted on climbing frame 4 which interacts through the climbing rods 6 partly with a load frame 5 and partly with a stage support 8, the frames 4, 5 and support 8 being received at least during part of a lifting cycle by interaction with cleats (31), Fig. 4 (not shown) attached to the mast 10. As shown the apparatus is duplicated, the load 15 being supported on a girder 7 attached by a ball joint 1 to the load frame 5 at one end and similarly at the other end to a second load frame on a second mast 10<SP>1</SP>. Each climbing member 2 comprises two double-acting hydraulic jacks (2a), (2b), Fig. 5 (not shown), interconnected by upper and lower yokes (12), (13) co-operating with nuts (9<SP>1</SP>), (9) screwed on to the associated, threaded, climbing rod 6. From the position shown the climbing members 2 are actuated to raise the rods 6 step-bystep thus lifting the load frame 5 together with the load 15 until it reaches support cleats (31) on the adjacent section 104 of the mast 10. This action simultaneously raises the stage support 8. When this stage has been completed the action of the climbing jacks (2a), (2b) is reversed and the climbing frame 4 now climbs up the rods 6 until it can be held by the cleats (31) on its next adjacent section 106 of the mast 10. This completes the cycle of operations. The masts can now be staged, as required, immediately below the load and further mast sections added at the tops of the masts.

Title: Improvements in the treatment of fabrics, yarns or other products composed of regenerated cellulose, or mixtures thereof with natural cellulose or other fibres, or fabrics impregnated or coated with regenerated cellulose
IPC: D06M11/38
Filed: 1931-02-07
Abstract: In the treatment with caustic alkalies of yarns, fabrics, &c made from regenerated cellulose or mixtures thereof with natural cellulose or other fibres, (including fabrics that have been coated or impregnated with a film of regenerated cellulose), the regenerated cellulose is protected from damage by adding to the wash water a carbonate or bicarbonate of sodium, potassium, or ammonium, or a mixture thereof, with or without sodium chloride. Thus, treatment of the material with caustic soda solution of mercerizing strength may be followed by washing with a 5-10 per cent solution of soda ash at about 65 DEG  C.  Alternatively, the material may be treated with carbon dioxide after the caustic alkali treatment and then washed with water, which may or may not contain an alkali carbonate or bicarbonate and/or sodium chloride. Washing may be effected under tension or not, and the used wash water may be causticized or used for scouring.  Specification 323,307, [Class 15 (ii), Dyeing, Processes &c. for], is referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to capacitors
IPC: H01G4/26
Filed: 1964-01-30
Abstract: 1,010,397. Capacitors. ROBERT BOSCH G.m.b.H. Jan. 30, 1964 [Feb. 15, 1963], No. 3938/64. Heading H1M. A multilayer capacitor which may be selfhealing, is folded from a single continuous insulating strip having metallized capacitor plates staggered normally to the longitudinal direction of the strip, the capacitor plates being in the form of panels metallized on to one side of the strip and separated by metal-free regions extending there-across so that the panels forming one plate extend to one outer longitudinal margin and those forming the other plate extend to the other outer longitudinal margin. In Fig. 1, a capacitor is made by folding together a strip 10 of paper, plastic, or other insulating strip carrying on one side two laterally staggered groups of adjacent panels 11, 12 formed by metallizing; each group constituting a capacitor plate and extending alternately to one or the other edge 11<SP>1</SP>, 12<SP>1</SP> of the strip. Adjacent panels have rounded corners and are separated by folds but are of less width than the section of insulating strip between folds. The reverse side of the strip is unmetallized and on folding forms a capacitor with adjacent panels contacting to enclose a field free space separated by two layers of dielectric. Panels 11 and 12 are respectively interconnected at opposite ends of the capacitor by sprayed metal contact bridges, and the units are compressed. In Fig. 2, a strip 20 has a blank panel interposed between every two metallized panels 21, 22 which constitute opposite capacitor plates, and are respectively interconnected by metallized borders 24, 25 running along opposed edges of the strip, which are insulated from alternate metallized panels by unmetallized zones 26, 27. On folding, the capacitor plates are separated by two layers of dielectric. In Fig. 3, strip 30 has pairs of adjacent metallized panels 31, 32 separated by pairs of blank panels 33, 34; alternate pairs of metallized panels being interconnected by metallized borders 31<SP>1</SP>, 32<SP>1</SP> so that when folded the capacitor plates are separated by four layers of dielectric. In Fig. 4, strip 40 has alternate pairs of metallized panels 41, 42 respectively interconnected by metallized borders 41<SP>1</SP>, 42<SP>1</SP> and separated by unmetallized zones along the folds. On folding together with a paper or plastic backing strip 43, of slightly less width, the capacitor plates are separated by four layers of dielectric. Such capacitors may have any required number of layers, may be impregnated, may be adjusted in capacitance by separations of individual layers, and may be assembled in plurality into a larger unit.
