Title: Method of forming expanded spools of strip products, and apparatus for performing the same
IPC: C21D1/767
Filed: 1962-06-27
Abstract: 959,864. Winding and reeling. HEURTEY S.A. June 27, 1962 [July 6, 1961], No. 24589/62. Headings B3A and B3E. A method of forming expanded spools from smooth strip comprises providing spacers between the coils so as to provide passageways through which a treating fluid may pass. Strip 2 drawn off a spool 1 is corrugated at its edges by wheels 14 on the shafts of edge-trimming knives 13 and is then wound to form an expanded spool 9. After heat treatment of the spool 9 the edges can be rolled to remove the corrugations or passed back through edge trimmers to form a tight spool. Alternatively, spacers 15a, Fig. 4, may be secured to strip 6a and may be linked together by textile material or form part of a rolled strip. A chain of spacers 15b, Fig. 5, may be secured to the strip edge by hooks 17.

Title: Improvements in fire extinguishers
IPC: A62C11/00
Filed: 1919-10-08
Abstract: 152,855. Marks, E. C. R., (Fyr Fyter Co.). Oct. 8, 1919. Portable hand-pumps; valves and cocks. arrangement of.-Relates to fire-extinguishers of the type described in Specification 144,445, in which the contained liquid is discharged by means of compressed air previously forced in by a pump, and the liquid discharge valve is operated by rotary movement of the pump piston-rod. The piston-rod 28 is provided with a valve 30, which is normally pressed against a seat 31, (to close the passage leading to the interior of the container 25), by means of a spring 44 interposed between a cap 38 and a flanged sliding member 42, the head of which is formed with spiral cams 47 co-acting with a transverse pin 45 passing through the piston-rod 28. After the pump has been operated to charge the container with compressed air, the piston 45 is passed through radial slots 46 in the head of the member 42, and the piston rod 28 is then rotated until the pin 45 engages slots 48 at the upper ends of the cams 47, a frictional lock being thus obtained. When the piston rod 28 is rotated from this position in either direction, a plug valve 66 is rotated through a coupling 67, 68 to open communication through the discharge members 60. 61, 62. 64, to the nozzle 65, the strength of the jet being variable according to the amount of rotation. In order to guard against sticking, the spring-loaded checkvalve 76, through which the compressed air is forced into the container, is lifted from its seat, when the rod 28 is rotated to unlock the piston, by the engagement of the clutch member 68 with a pin 78. In order to prevent water from runing into the cylinder when the extinguisher is exposed to the weather, the handle 29 is formed with a flange 41 encircling a ridge 40 on the cap 38. As the piston rod 28 is reciprocated, the piston 27 slides on the rod 28 between the valve 30 and a collar 85, thus covering and uncovering grooves or ports 88, 89 in the piston, through which ports air passes as the piston is drawn outwards. In a modification, the function of the valve 30 is performed by a part of the plug valve 66, which is provided with ports that lead to the check valve 76 when the plug valve 66 is fully open.

Title: Dyeing of polyolefine materials
Inventor: HUNTER JAMES STUART
IPC: C08J3/20
Filed: 1961-07-07
Abstract: Polyolefin materials, especially textile materials comprising stereoregular polypropylene, are dyed by applying water-insoluble azo dyestuffs of the formula A - N = N - B wherein A is the residue of an aromatic carbocyclic or heterocyclic diazo compound and B is the residue of a coupling component of the 5-pyrazolone, 5-aminopyrazole or acylarylamide series, provided that the dyestuff contains at least one straight or branched chain alkyl radical of at least 4 carbon atoms linked to an aromatic nucleus either directly or through a divalent atom or radical other than a radical of the formula -CO.O-. The specified alkyl radicals are n-, iso, tert- and sec-butyl, n- and iso-amyl, n-octyl, n-dodecyl, n-hexadecyl, n-octadecyl, n-hexyl, 3:5:5-trimethyl-n-hexyl or n-decyl radicals.  The specified divalent linking radicals are -O-, -S-, -NH-, -CONH-and -SO2-.  The dyestuffs may be obtained in the usual way from a large number of specified diazotisable bases and coupling components.  The dyes may be applied from a solution in an organic solvent but preferably as an aqueous dispersion which may also contain amionic, non-ionic or cationic dispersants e.g., sulphonated naphthalene-formaldehyde condensates, ethylene oxide-fatty alcohol condensates or cetyl trimethylammonium chloride.  Dyeing may be effected from a dyebath at 65-100 DEG C. at atmospheric pressure or at 100-125 DEG C. at super-atmospheric pressure.  The dyeings may be finished by rinsing and treatment with soap or a synthetic detergent. Examples of dyeing yarns of polypropylene are given.

In use; depression of the member 110 firstly results in a link member 120 raising the synchronizing member 130 until it is stopped by a striker 34 of the flash unit 16. Then further depression of the member 110 results in tensioning of the spring 117 since the link member 120 can no longer turn. Eventually the force in the spring 117 reaches a sufficient level and the stored energy is transmitted via the link 120to the member 130 which rises further to dislodge the striker 34 and operate the shutter 150. In another embodiment, Fig. 3 (not shown), the link member (40) is connected to the release (19) and a pivoted latch (90) retains the synchronizer (60) in an inoperative position during the initial movement of the release (19) so as to tension the spring (53), the latch (90) being subsequently moved to an operative position by means of the release (19) so as to allow actuation of the synchronizer (60) by the spring (53). In a third embodiment, Fig. 5 (not shown), the spring is a compression spring (230) and the link member (210) has one end connected to the release (200) and the other end bearing against one end of the spring, the other end of which bears against the synchronizer (218).
