The skirt is adapted at places 13 for attachment to the cast alloy 14 as described in Specifications 389,649 and 400,131, [both in Group XXVI], Specification 389,387, [Group XXVI], also is referred to.
Patent GB-1037925-A (GB)
Title: Synthetic resinous coating materials
IPC: B05D7/24
Filed: 1964-06-16
Abstract: A thermoplastic coating or laminating composition comprise a fused blend of between 95 and 30 weight per cent of a thermoplastic copolyester having a glass temperature between 40 DEG  and 120 DEG C. and 5 and 70 weight per cent of a thermoplastic copolyester having a glass temperature between -50 DEG  and 40 DEG  C., the difference between the glass temperatures of the two resins being at least 15 DEG  C.  Suitable copolyesters are linear polymers of glycols and dicarboxylic acids, which are usually aromatic or aromatic-aliphatic mixtures.  The glycols may be polymethylene glycols of 2-10 C atoms, or, e.g. dimethylol cyclohexane or 2,2,-bis-[4-(b -hydroxyethoxy) phenyl]-propane, and suitable acids are terephthalic, isophthalic, 1,5-, 2,6- and 2,7-naphthalene dicarboxylic acids, adipic, azelaic and sebacic acids.  The polyester of higher glass temperature may be a copolymer of ethylene glycol and neopentylene glycol terephthalates in 80/20 to 20/80 molar ratios, of ethylene glycol tere- and iso-phthalates in 75/25 to 50/50 molar ratios, or of ethylene and neopentylene glycol tere- and iso-phthalates in 80/20 to 30/70 and 70/30 to 30/70 molar ratios of glycols and acids respectively.  The polyester of lower glass temperature may be a copolymer of ethylene glycol and neopentylene glycol terephthalate and sebacate in which the glycol and acid molar ratios are 95/5 to 30/70 and 95/5 to 60/40 respectively, or of ethylene glycol terephthalate and sebacate in 85/15 to 60/40 molar ratios.  Fillers and pigments may be added, e.g. TiO2, Cr2O3 and finely divided silica, up to 50 weight per cent of the resins.ALSO:An article e.g. aluminium, zinc, zinc-coated steel, cast iron, and ceramic is coated by forming a suspension, e.g. fluidized bed, of particles of a fused blend of resins comprising between 95 and 30 weight % of a thermoplastic copolyester resin having a glass temperature between 40 DEG C. and 120 DEG C. and between 5 and 70 weight % of a thermoplastic copolyester resin having a glass temperature between -50 DEG C. and 40 DEG C., the difference between the glass temperatures of the two resins being at least 15 DEG C., heating the article to at least the fusion temperature of the blend, contacting it with the particles for a time sufficient for the resin to coat the article, and removing the article when a coating of the required thickness has been deposited, and fusing the coating, and cooling the coated article.  Suitable copolyesters may be derived from ethylene and neopentylene glycols and terephthalic acid and isophthalic acid (for the higher glass temperature) or terephthalic acid and sebacic acid (for the lower glass temperature) (see Division C3).  In examples steel panels heated to 300 DEG C. are immersed for 3 seconds in beds of particles of blends of such resins fluidized by a stream of dry air, or the panel may be immersed at 232 DEG C. and maintained at 232 DEG C. after immersion to fuse the adhered particles.

Abstract: 776,175. Welding and dividing by fusion ; [copy-milling. BRISTOL AERO-ENGINES, Ltd. Sept. 16, 1954 [Sept. 16, 1953], No. 25648/53. Classes 83 (3) and 83 (4). In a machine in which a follower co-operating with a master-form controls relative movement between a tool, e.g. an engraving- tool or a flame-cutting or welding head, and a work-holder, a single manually-actuated control-member exerts an over-riding control which can produce relative movement between the tool and the work-holder in any required direction. In a machine for welding turbine blades as described in Specification 740,909, the electric welding-head 40 is carried by one arm 33 of a pantograph linkage which is pivotally secured to a frame member 29. The pantograph linkage is adjustable to vary the scale of reproduction and is connecting to a casing 15 mounted on a pedestal 12 so as to be freely movable in the horizontal plane and housing an electric motor which rotates a magnetic follower 16 carried at the top of the casing 15 and co-operating with a template 21. A member 74 to which the template is fixed is slidably mounted in a member 69 slidably secured to a frame member 20. The members 69, 74 are slidable at right angles to each other under the control of flexible cables 63, 75, respectively, connected over pulleys 61, 62 to perpendicular lugs 59, 60 on the manually-actuated control member 56 which is universally jointed to a frame member 55. Thus, movement of the control member 56 in any direction results in movement of the template 21 and the welding head 40 in a parallel direction to correct any deviation of the tool from its required path. The work 43 is carried in a holder 46 adjustably mounted on the frame 11. The control member 56 may be locked in a central position by a sleeve 79 which is movable downwards to engage in an aperture in the frame member 55. Instead of acting on the template 21, the control member may be connected to the work-holder or to a member of the pantograph linkage.

Abstract: 822,331. Counting-apparatus. LANDIS & GYR Ltd. Aug. 27, 1956 [Sept. 7, 1955], No. 25650/55. Class 106 (1). A circuit arrangement for summating the number of pulses from a plurality of transmitters, such as electric energy meters A, Fig. 1, comprises a storage device B for each transmitter capable of storing one impulse and an electronic distributer switch C which periodically senses the stores and causes a pulse to be transmitted from each charged store to a summator drive D for a counter E. Each store B<SP>1</SP>, Fig. 2, comprises cold cathode tubes V1, V2 arranged so that the arrival of a positive pulse on line 3 from the associated transmitter causes V1 to fire, thereby raising the grid potential of V2 so that the subsequent arrival of a pulse from the distributer through the condenser C2 causes V2 to fire, thereby transmitting a negative pulse to the summator D<SP>1</SP> via condenser C8 and simultaneously extinguishing V1. The coil L1 may be the exciting coil of a counter thus registering separately the number of pulses from the associated transmitter. The distributer switch C<SP>1</SP> comprises two multi-cathode tubes V3, V5. V3 gates the A.C. input 5 by counting the positive alternations thereof and transmitting each tenth alternation via V4 to V5 which transmits corresponding positive pulses sequentially from its respective cathodes to each of the storage devices in turn over condensers C2. At the summator D<SP>1</SP> each negative pulse received over C8 fires a cold cathode tube V6 to actuate the exciting coil L2 of an electromagnetic counter.
