Abstract: 349,182. Corrugating tubes &c. VEREINIGTE STAHLWERK AKT.- GES., 67, Breitestrasse, D³sseldorf, Germany. March 13, 1930, No. 8167. Convention date, July 18, 1929. [Class 83 (iv).] Sheet-metal containers such as steel barrels are formed with rolling ribs and reinforcing corrugations in one operation by two pairs of rib forming and corrugating rolls carried by a pair of parallel shafts. The rib-forming rolls 5 carried by sleeves 6 on the shaft 2 are normally pressed by a spring 7 so that they are out of alignment with their cooperating rolls on the shaft 1 ; these pairs of rolls are gradually brought into co-operating engagement so that the metal is drawn in uniformly from both sides so as to retain its wall thickness. The corrugations are formed by two pairs of rolls 3.

Patent GB-567940-A (GB)
Title: Means for gelling solutions of nitrocellulose
IPC: C08K5/00
Filed: 1942-06-24
Abstract: Nitrocellulose solutions, for example, in nitrobenzene, are gelled by treatment with a cross-linking agent comprising an organic diisocyanate, dimethylol urea or a dialkyl ether thereof, a methylolmelamine or an ether thereof, a N-methylol- or N-alkoxymethylpolyamide, or a N : N1-bis (alkoxymethyl) derivative of a diamide of a dicarboxylic acid.  The treatment consists in stirring from 1 to 10 per cent, preferably from 2 to 4 per cent, of the cross-linking agent with the nitrocellulose solution for a short time at temperatures up to 98 DEG  C., or for a long time, such as 20 days, at room temperature.  In one example, a 10 per cent solution of nitrocellulose in nitrobenzene is treated with 2 per cent of dimethylolurea dimethyl ether at 98 DEG  C. for one hour.  Gelling commences after 40 mins. and a firm gel results in one hour.  In other examples, hexamethylene diisocyanate, m-phenylene diisocyanate, the hexamethyl ether of hexamethylolmelamine, and a 2 to 1 mixture of dimethylolurea and phthalic anhydride are employed.  Alternative solvents are acetone and cyclohexanone.  Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 548,807.

Filed: 1929-03-18
Abstract: 327,273. Luvax, Ltd., (Auto Research Corporation). March 18, 1929. Fluid-actuated valves. - Lubricant is supplied by a pump to an accumulator comprising a bellows 62 secured at its lower end to the end cap 61 of the casing 60 and at its upper end to a head 64 slidable in the casing. The enlarged end 67 of a rod 66 pressed upwards by a spring 69 engages the head 64, and the lower end of the rod protrudes through the cap 61 and carries a pin 68 limiting the upward movement. A valve 72, which controls ports 95 in a sleeve 74 fitted in the upper end of the casing, is pinned to a pair of links 84 formed with slots 86 engaging a pin 80, the ends of which engage in slots 81 in a. bracket 82 mounted on a perforated disc 83 secured in the casing. Pins 88 at the outer ends of a pair of toggle links 89 pivoted to the pin 80 engage in notches 87 in the bracket 82 and are pulled towards each other by springs 90. The pin 80 extends through a slot 79 in a link 76, the lower headed end of which engages under a dished plate 78 mounted on the head 64. As lubricant is supplied from the pump to a valved inlet 91 to the casing 60, the head 64 is depressed, stressing the spring 69, until the toggle mechanism causes the valve 72 to be snapped open. The spring then causes the accumulated volume to be discharged through the ports 95 to outlets 93, 94. On completion of the discharge, the valve is snapped closed.

Abstract: Electrolytically produced aluminium is refined by subjecting the liquid metal without intermediate solidification to a vacuum treatment in a soaking furnace.  The liquid metal at 830 DEG C. may be subjected to a pressure of 0,8 m.m. mercury for 20 minutes during which the temperature may drop to 760 DEG C. and the metal may then be cast in a continuous casting plant.  The billets produced were found to be free from oxide inclusions and micro-cavities.

Title: Traverse mechanism for a machine having means for winding yarn
IPC: D01H1/36
Filed: 1947-04-02
Abstract: 654,148. Building and traverse motions for textile spinning or twisting machines. AMERICAN VISCOSE CORPORATION. April 2, 1947, No. 8947. Convention date, July 8, 1946. '[Class 120(ii)] Traverse mechanism for a machine having means for winding yarn, such as a spinning or twisting machine, comprises a lifter rail supported by links attached to bell-crank levers mounted in parallel relationship which are arranged to be swung in unison so as to actuate the lifter rail, the latter being constrained to move in a straight line by including in the supporting links a pair of links suitably interconnected. Bell-crank levers 3 are connected by a common rod 10, associated through a link 14 with a reciprocating lever 15a of a builder mechanism. The lifter rail 2 is connected to the bell-crank levers 3 by links 12 (only one shown), and lever 5, which extends beyond the rail 2 and is pivoted to a link 6 pivoted to a fixed bracket 7. The arm 3a of bell-crank lever 3 and the link 6 may, or may not, be equal in length, but the rail 2 is pivotally connected to the lever 5 at a point 8, which is the point of intersection of a line 9 extending between the pivots in fixed brackets 4 and 7 with the rail 2, when the rail is in an intermediate, position. The lever 15a of the builder mechanism is adjustably mounted on a bifurcated lever 15b pivoted at 24 to a supporting housing. A link 17 is pivoted to lever 15b at 25 and to a link 18 at 26, the pivot bearing 26 also carries a cam follower 28. Link 18 is pivoted at 27 to a lever 16a oscillatably mounted on a bearing 29 and carrying a cam follower 31 held in contact with a positively driven cam 19. If the cam follower 28 operates in conjunction with a cylindrical member, the cam 19 constrains the builder mechanism, through the traverse mechanism, to reciprocate the lifter rail to give a stroke of uniform depth across the full height of a bobbin. When it is desired to produce a tapered top or "bottle" shaped winding, a builder cam 20 may be used, which co-operates with the cam follower 28 to alter the angular disposition of lever 15b with respect to the lever 16a. Cam 20 is rotated by a ratchet and pawl, the latter being mounted on a lever which is spring- urged towards the lever 16a so that the rise and fall of the lever 16a and consequent movement of the spring-urged lever slowly turn the cam 20. The mechanism may be employed to traverse the bobbin or the cap rails of a cap frame, or the bobbin or the ring rails of a ring frame, or a thread guide rail.

Class 103(1) In a spot type disc brake the carrier member 17, Figs. 1 and 2, which at its outer end is troughshaped so as to extend on both sides of the disc 10, and which carries fluid pressure actuator pistons 28, is mounted so as to pivot around a shaft 16 the axis of which is parallel with, and adjacent to, the plane of the disc 10. As shown, in Figs. 1 and 2, the pivot axis 16 lies actually within the plane of the disc 10. An attachment member 14 bolted to a flange (not shown), on the stub axle has an ear member 48 which projects into slot 46 between parts 47 of the member 17 and supports it against the the torque loading applied thereto. The fluid pressure pistons include automatic shoe clearance adjustment mechanism comprising a split ring 49 expanded by a washer type spring 52, the ring limiting the return movement of the piston. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 5 and 6, the disc 55 is mounted on a stub axle and the carrier member 57 which encloses a part of the periphery of the disc is pivoted upon a shaft 62 which is parallel with but slightly displaced from the plane of the disc 55. The fluid pressure pistons include similar automatic adjustment mechanism comprising a split ring 81 and spring 83. Although two pistons and pad units are shown there may be a single: piston or pad on each side of the disc.
