Title: Capillary Device
IPC: F16N7/12
Filed: 1966-07-28
Abstract: 1,163,433. Felt nib pens. ARTHUR D. LITTLE Inc. 28 July, 1966 [30 July, 1965; 10 May, 1966], No. 34007/66. Heading A4K. [Also in Divisions B3, C1, C7, D1, F2 and F4] A capillary device suitable for use in pens, is produced by weaving filaments together into braid and bonding adjacent filaments to each other substantially only at each of their points of intersection, e.g. by means of heat, solvents or adhesives, to produce a rigid capillary structure capable of feeding liquids in both axial and radial direction. The capillary device may be made up from a plurality of concentric braids. A small passageway may be provided in the centre of the braid by braiding the filaments around a core piece which is removed after the braid has beeen bonded, a suitable core being a fine filament which is unaffected by the bonding agent, or a soluble filament which is dissolved out after bonding. Strong mechanical structures may be produced by permanently including one or more filaments in the central passageway of the braid when braiding. The flow of liquid through the capillary device may be improved by using filaments having different diameters or non-circular cross sections, by using some soluble filaments, e.g. polyvinyl alcohol filaments which may be leaded out of the braid by means of a water bath, or by incorporating water soluble materials e.g., sugar, in the solvent or adhesive which are removed after the bonding of the braid. Suitable filaments are those of synthetic resins, e.g. polyamides, polyacetates, polycarbonates, polyolefins or polytetra fluoroethylene, which may be bonded by heat, solvents e.g. resoranol or adhesives, of metals e.g. stainless steel which may be bonded by heat, adhesives, e.g. epoxy or phenolic resins, or the electrolytic deposition of metals from solution onto the braid, or of glass which may be bonded by heat or adhesives, e.g. an epoxy resin dissolved in methyl ethyl Ketone, one end of the braid may be sharpened to a fine point and the other end of the braid connected to a reservoir of writing fluid.

Abstract: 767,670. Detecting vibrations. ROLLSROYCE, Ltd. Nov. 25, 1955 [Nov. 26, 1954], No. 34421/54. Class 106 (4). A device for detecting a vibration having an acceleration greater than a preselected value comprises a movable element or beam 4 pivotally mounted on a part of or on a part connected rigidly to the vibrating mechanism the beam having a considerable mass 3 substantially concentrated at its centre of gravity 30, a first contact 6 rigidly connected to the beam, a cooperating contact 31 carried on the fixed part, resilient means, e.g. the spring 19 to load the beam to close the contacts and a circuit the breaking of which at the contacts 6, 31 causes the operation of a warning or control device, the arrangement being such that when the vibration of the mechanism has an acceleration above the preselected value the beam will oscillate to break the contacts preferably so that they " bounce " in such a manner as to be open for a large proportion of the time. As shown, the beam 4 is tubular and elastic, preferably of steel, and the distance between the contacts and the centre of gravity is about ten times the distance between the centre of gravity and the pivot axis. Bolted to the mass 3 are a pair of fulcrum blocks 9 having pins 14 pivotally supported in the casing. The fulcrum blocks 9 are generally cylindrical but are cut to semi-cylinders centrally to allow them to be telescoped into each other inside the groove 8 during assembly. The load on the spring 19 may be varied by a nut 23 adjusting the spring lengthwise of a pillar 21. A lever 39 mounted on a spindle 38 operated by an external handle has a spring- loaded tappet 40 which may be raised into contact with the beam 4 to open the contacts 6, 31 for test purposes.

Title: Method of producing an accurate rotational outside surface on a glass tube
IPC: C03B23/053
Filed: 1947-12-30
Abstract: 636,510. Shaping glass tubes. WICHTERLE, O. Dec. 30, 1947, No. 34586. Convention date, Aug. 14, 1945. [Class 56] A method of manufacturing accurate rotational surfaces on a glass tube comprises heating a rotating clamped glass tube 1, the deformation resulting from the centrifugal force being limited by contact with a forming body 2 of graphite or metal with a non- oxidizing surface, e.g. chromium. The body 2 is rotated positively or by contact with the glass, with a surface speed corresponding to that of the glass, the axes of rotation of both bodies being co-planar. The shape of the tube will depend on that of the forming body, e.g. a cylindrical or conical forming body will give respectively a cylindrical or conical contact surface. To limit deformation of parts of the tube adjacent to the formed part, stationary or rotating forming bodies may be arranged to contact the tube. Electric heaters or gas burners may be used, and, in the case of electric heaters, the rate of temperature reduction may be controlled by a rheostat.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of urea-formaldehyde condensation products
IPC: C08G12/12
Filed: 1929-11-13
Abstract: In the manufacture of condensation products by reacting urea with a solid polymer of formaldehyde in the dry state, the reaction is begun in the presence of a small amount of an alkaline catalyst, and a small amount of an acid catalyst is added later. In an example, paraformaldehyde and a little sodium hydroxide (or carbonate or bicarbonate) are mixed in the dry state at 60 DEG  C. The mixture is homogenized and heated by passing in saturated steam, and a little monosodium phosphate (or the corresponding potassium or ammonium salt) is then added, whereafter the mixture is kept at 120 DEG  C. for about twenty minutes while stirring and continuing the introduction of steam.  The reaction may be conducted under any desired pressure.  A stable, viscous, transparent product is thus obtained, which may be concentrated or solidified by evaporation, preferably in vacuo, and finally rendered insoluble by pressure and (or) heat.

Articles to be laundered are washed and rinsed in a basket rotating at a relatively low speed, liquid is removed by rotating the basket at a slightly faster speed, the articles are tumbled by rotating the basket with periodic reversals of direction at the low speed and then the basket is rotated in one direction at a high extracting speed. A cylindrical perforated drum 11, with perforated metal partitions, is mounted on a tubular shaft 12 journalled in a bearing 14 mounted in wall 15 of a housing 10. Water and steam are directed into basket 11 through passages 16 in shaft 12. Shaft 12 is driven during extraction through pulleys 18, 20 and belting 19 by a two speed motor 21, Fig. 1 (not shown), or two single speed motors 21, 61, Fig. 4 (not shown), may be used. A reversible electric motor 22 is connected through a clutch to the armature shaft of motor (21), so that, when the latter is deenergized and the clutch is engaged, motor 22 can rotate drum 11 at wash speed. Pulley 18 is keyed on a hub 26 joined in the end wall 13 of drum 11 and keyed on shaft 12. A rotatable seal 29 is journalled on the other end of shaft 12, seals 31, 32 being provided.
