Title: Improvements in or relating to cases for sticks of rouge, paint or other cosmetic
IPC: B66D5/00
Filed: 1933-12-20
Abstract: 430,176. Cases for sticks of cosmetic. LAFORGE, P. C. N., 16, Boulevard PÚreire, Paris. Dec. 20, 1933, No. 35868. Convention date, Dec. 21, 1932. [Class 18] A case for a stick of cosmetic comprises an outer casing and a sleeve 3 which can rotate without moving longitudinally, and the sleeve is so connected to the cover 9 of the case that the latter is opened or closed when the cup 11 carrying the stick is slid upwards or downwards. The cup 11 is connected to an external knob 12 which moves in a straight slot 2 in the casing and a slot 4 in the sleeve whereby the sleeve rotates only while the knob is moving in the part 4a of the slot 4. The connection between the sleeve and the cover comprises a lug 5 stamped &c. out of the sleeve and passing through a broad slot 6 in the casing to engage a slot 7 in one of the side extensions 8 of the cover, the latter being pivoted to the case at points 10. The lug 5 may be provided on the cover and the slot 7 in the sleeve. The casing 1 has a square cross section and its top edge is flanged inwardly to prevent longitudinal movement of the sleeve.

Abstract: 375,714. Piston-rings. CROSS, A., BROWN, W. F., and BEDFORD, F., 2, St. Mary Axe, London. Dec. 29, 1931, No. 35886. [Class 122 (i).] In rings 1 of the kind expanded by movement of non-expansible conical members 11 engaging conical surfaces in. the ring, the latter is held rigidly ,against expansion or contraction by positive engagement of the member 11. An inclined circumferential slot 5 in the ring 1 is engaged by an angled flange 12 of the ring 11, which is axially adjustable by rotation of a member 6, but prevented from rotation by a screw 21 engaging a slot 22 in the ring 1. Alternatively the ring 11 may be freely movable over the member 6 and adjusted by a nut thereon. Projections 19 in the ring 1 engage similar projections 20 on the member 6 to prevent relative axial movement and after adjustment the two are secured by a setscrew. In a modification, Fig. 2, the flange 3 of the ring 1, which may be slotted axially, is formed with tapped holes 16 engaged by set bolts 15 carrying the ring 11. The rings may be formed with two slots inclined towards the centre of the ring and engaged by two conical members.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of printed circuits
Inventor: FULLER WILFRED HENRY
IPC: H05K3/00
Filed: 1957-11-19
Abstract: 818,129. Printed circuits. STANDARD TELEPHONES & CABLES Ltd. Nov. 19. 1957, No. 35957/57. Class 37. A plurality of like printed circuits are produced from a conductor-clad insulating board by masking the conductor with an etchresistant coating over the required circuit pattern and over a frame surrounding each circuit, etching away the unmasked portions and removing the part of the board carrying the individual circuit patterns from within each frame. The Specification describes a method of making coil former cheeks as disclosed in Specification 814,702. A number of photographic negatives are made of a drawing of the required circuit, and are laid out on a flat surface. A single negative, having transparent portions representing the required conductors 3, and frames 4 is then made. Alternatively this negative may be made from a drawing of the plurality of circuits. A conductor-clad insulating board is cleaned before a light-sensitive, etch-resistant coating is flowed on to the conductor surface. A contact print of the negative is then made on this coating. The unaffected areas are then removed in a solution. Alternatively, the etch-resistant pattern may be formed by stencilling, using for example the silk-screen process. The unwanted conductors are then etched away. The edges of the board which are affected by the etchant are then removed before the individual printed circuits 2 are blanked out. Isolated conducting areas 5, left to conserve etchant, may be blanked out first. The spacing between adjacent printed circuits should be equal to twice the board thickness. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 639,178.

Title: Improvements in collector heads or current collectors for trolley buses and the like
IPC: B60L5/08
Filed: 1937-12-31
Abstract: 5 0 8, 6 8 6. Current collectors for electric vehicles. LIVINGSTONE, R., and ANTI-ATTRITION METAL CO., Ltd. Dec. 31, 1937, No. 36207. [Class 104 (iii)] In order to maintain a uniform contact pressure, a collector shoe 10, 11 has a spherical projection 25 bearing on a spherical cup 22 supported by the vertical spindle 21 of the trolly head. The centre of the spherical surface 22 may be below the plane of contact between the shoe and the wire, as at A, or above it, as at C, or coincident with it, as at B. If it is at A, the vertical mid-plane X-X of the contact is located ahead of the vertical centre line Y-Y of the bearing in the direction of movement; if it is at C, the plane X-X is behind the plane Y-Y; and if it is at B, the planes coincide. The pole 12 carries one or more insulating sleeves 13, a dry-spot insulator 14 and a split metal sleeve 15, from which the current passes to an internal terminal 17. An insulator 18 separates 12 from 13. The body 19 supporting the spindle 21 is mounted on the pole by a split sleeve 19<1> and a nut 20. A shackle 29 and ring 31 prevent the shoe being turned through 180 degrees. A spring shunt 32 may be inserted between the surface 25 and the spindle 21 to prevent pitting. Specification 465,088 is referred to.
