Abstract: 937,989. Double glazed units. B. P. M. SCHWARTZ. Oct. 16, 1959 [Oct. 16, 1958], No. 33123/58. Class 20 (3). A double glazed unit comprises a pair of panes 1, 1<SP>1</SP>, Fig. 1, held in a resilient sealing strip 2 supported by a backing channel 3. The sealing strip includes an inner compressible spacer 4 which is in sealing contact with the inner faces of the panes and outer members 8 which are in sealing contact with the outer faces of the panes at their ends 8b and in supporting contact with the backing member 3 at their inclined faces 8a. In addition, the outer members do not completely fill the space between the sides of the channel 3 and the panes thereby allowing the latter to move towards the sides of the channel. The inner spacing member 4 and the remainder of the sealing strip 2 may be formed integral (as shown) or as separate items and the space between the panes may be filled with dry carbon dioxide or nitrogen. The backing members are framed by corner clamps having an inner surface profile similar to the surface 6 of the backing member and extensions which lie in the curved base portion 9 of the backing member and carry nibs which engage in apertures formed in the ends of the backing members. The unit may be bedded in mastic 12, 14 in the window frame member 11 and locked in position by the grub screw 10.

Abstract: 1,272,679. Programmed control of machine tools. STARKSTROM-ANLAGENBAU KARLMARX-STADT VEB. July 4, 1969, No.33766/69. Heading G3N. In a system for positioning the rotatable table of a machine for successive machining operations (e.g. drilling) under the control of a programme, allowance is made for the fact that, in general, the centre of rotation Dr of the workpiece is displaced from the centre M of the machine coordinates by adding of subtracting offset values Kx, Kz (in a computer) to the programme instructions. The workpiece is rotated 90 degrees between each operation. The offset values are determined by a zeroing operation and stored. The corrected instructions are combined by addition or subtraction to the actual position of the worktable and movement in the positive or negative direction is initiated according the result of this combination.

Title: Process for the deposition of metals by electrolysis
IPC: C25D3/56
Filed: 1922-12-19
Abstract: 190,500. Govaerts, P. A., and Wenmaekers, P. M. Dec. 19, 1921, [Convention date]. Metals and alloys, depositing; electrodes; preparing surfaces ; treating after electrolysis.- Thiosulphate baths for use particularly in depositing other metals upon aluminium, are prepared in the following way. For depositing iron, nickel, zinc and like metals, a solution of sodium thiosulphate is acidified with an organic acid such as acetic acid until decomposition of the thiosulphate just begins, and a small quantity of the sulphate of the metal to be deposited is added; the solution is cooled and filtered. Alloys e.g. of iron and zinc and nickel may be produced by using a mixture of sulphates. For depositing copper, silver, lead and like metals, a concentrated solution of the sulphate slightly acidified with sulphuric acid is treated with sodium thiosulphate solution. A precipitate is formed which is washed with cold water and dried rapidly in the cold e.g. by anhydrous sulphuric acid in a vacuum, while protected from the action of light. The dried precipitate is dissolved to saturation ,in warm sodium thiosulphate solution and diluted to double the volume by further thiosulphate solution. An alloy e.g. of copper and silver may be produced from a bath prepared by dissolving a mixture of the precipitates. The colour of the alloy is determined by varying the E.M.F. which should not exceed 1 volt. For depositing brass, a small quantity of the copper solution prepared as above is added to a solution of sodium thiosulphate and zinc sulphate. This is warmed until the liquid becomes opalescent and then cooled, depositing a small quantity of copper sulphide, and filtered. An anode of the metal or alloy to be deposited is used in all cases; during electrolysis it may become coated with a non-adherent coating of sulphide. The cathode is cleaned before electrolysis first mechanically and afterwards with caustic soda or potash. After plating, it may be annealed, polished, hammered or burnished. Objects of aluminium coated with copper may be gilded by applying gold amalgam and heating.

[Classes 72 and 82 (i).] In the production of metal sponge, particularly iron sponge, in a rotary furnace 1 by a process in which the combustion, in the normal oxidizing furnace atmosphere, of the reduction gases resulting from the admixture with the charge of reducing material, such as solid or liquid fuel or carbides, and the superficial combustiori of the admixed material provide the greater part of the necessary heat, the cooling of the reduced material is effected in a helical chamber 9 disposed around the outer jacket of the furnace and cooled externally by a water spray 10. The inlet 6 to the helix 9 communicates with a muffle 4 which may be constitued either by a helical tube secured within the furnace or, as shown, by an axially disposed conduit, and which serves in its lower part to complete the reduction and in its upper part to effect a preliminary heating of the fresh material supplied from the hopper 2. The material is transferred from the main furnace chamber to the lower end of the muffle by a scoop 5 and is caused to travel upwardly to the outlet 6 by a worm 7. Reducing gas from an external source may be supplied to the muffle which is provided with spaced outlets 8 through which surplus gases escape to the main furnace chamber.
