Title: Improvements in or relating to axminster looms
IPC: D03D39/02
Filed: 1933-03-25
Abstract: 409,884. Looms for weaving tufted pile fabrics. STEVENS, A. H., 5, Quality Court, Chancery Lane, London.-(Bigelow- Sanford Carpet Co., Inc. ; Thompsonville, Connecticut, U.S.A.) March 25, 1933, No. 9097. [Class 142 (ii).] An Axminster loom is provided with means for suspending the feeding movement of the tuft yarn frame carrier at predetermined intervals so that wiping-in mechanism may wipe-in yarns from the same tube frame a plurality of times, the action of the cloth take-up being modified during such successive wiping-in operations. A number of tuft yarn tube frames 13, Fig. 3, carried by a chain 10, are normally presented in turn to the wiping-in mechanism by a two stage movement of a ratchet 14 and sprocket 11 produced by pawls 15, 16, the supporting levers of which are connected by links 20 to a cam operated rocking lever 22. On detachment from the carrier each tube frame is supported by the usual wiping-in mechanism comprising cam operated members 31 and interlocking members 36 and is rocked by cam operated links 37. Shearing blades 43, 45 supported by members 42, 44 respectively are moved towards or away from each other by link connections from cam operated levers, the blade carriers being supported intermediate of their ends by guides 50, 57 which are adjustably supported on frame extensions 48, 64 respectively. The short fibres depending from the ends of the tufts after cutting are removed by the sweeping action of a comb 85 positioned above and supported by the cutting blade 43. Temporary stoppage of the chain 10, to permit repeated action on the same tube frame by the wiping- in mechanism, is effected by a pattern chain 65 which, on being advanced to bring a peg 68 beneath an adjustable projection 69 on the lever 22, limits the movement of the latter and prevents effective operation of the pawls 15, 16. The pattern chain operating pawl 71 may be rendered inoperative by interlocking a hand piece 71<b> at the end of connecting link 71<a> with a hook 71<c>. Take-up mechanism.-When the selecting or pattern mechanism calls for repeated wiping-in action on any tube frame, a stop 130, Fig. 9, having a link connection 122 with the lever 22, is allowed to restrict the normal traverse of a cam operated lever 114 and reduce the speed of the take-up roll 103 which is normally driven by a pawl and ratchet driven shaft 107 and connections 112, 114 from a cam 118. U.S.A. Specification 1,822,478 is referred to.

Abstract: 1,158,057. Building blocks. R. SCHMIDLIN. 27 Feb., 1967 [28 Feb., 1966], No. 9174/67. Heading A6S. Contacting building elements having on at least one surface, an inwardly widening groove such as a dovetail groove, are connected by inserting connecting elements into grooves formed by the contacting surfaces of adjacent building elements, and each connecting element contains at least one coupling portion such that a connecting element that has been completely inserted into the grooves, may be removed by another part such as a hook. In Figure 1, the bricks 1 include the grooves 2 and 3 and these bricks may be connected by insertion of an element 5 into the canal formed from the grooves of contacting blocks. The element 5 has at least one coupling portion in the form of a hook such that when 5 is completely inserted into the canal, it may be removed using this coupling portion either with a similar element or a special tool for this purpose. Other elements are described, such as wheels and shafts. In Fig. 1, a shaft 16 is slidably mounted on the side of a brick by the use of its connecting slide or base plate 19 which is profiled to fit into the grooves. Fig. 4 shows a side view of such a shaft assembly with a pair of wheels 10 mounted thereon. A dovetail groove 11 is provided on the plane face of each wheel and these are connected using connecting slides 12. The shaft 16 is grooved at 17, 17a in order that a split spring ring 18 may be inserted to position the wheel(s) on the shaft.

Abstract: 1285247 Photographic silver halide material EASTMAN KODAK CO 26 Feb 1970 [3 March 1969] 9255/70 Heading G2C A photographic material comprises a support bearing a light-sensitive silver halide emulsion layer in which the silver halide grains are dispersed in a hydrophilic colloid binder and which contains a polymeric latex which is an acrylic interpolymer having/water-solubilizing groups attached thereto, and a latex-free silver halide emulsion layer above the outermost latexcontaining layer, in which the silver halide grains are dispersed in a hydrophilic colloid binder. The silver halide emulsion may be a lith emulsion. The silver halide in the latex-free silver halide emulsion layer may be substantially less sensitive to light than the silver halide in the latex-containing layer. The hydrophilic colloid is preferably gelatine. The polymeric latex may be in the form of micelles having an average particle size of less than 1 micron. The polymeric latex may be copoly (methyl acrylate-sulphopropylacrylate-2-acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate),  copoly (ethyl acrylate-acrylic acid), copoly (ethyl acrylate-sulphopropyl acrylate), copoly (butyl acrylate-acrylic acid-4, 4, 9-trimethyl-8- oxo-7-oxa-4-azonia-9-decene-1-sulphonate), copoly (ethyl acrylate-acrylic acid-2- acetoaceloxyethyl methacrylate) or copoly (butyl acrylate-acrylic acid-2-cyanoacetoxyethyl methacrylate). The material may comprise an overcoat layer of a water-permeable resin and a matting agent e.g. polymethyl methacrylate beads. An antihalation gelatine layer may be coated on the side of the support remote from the emulsion and may contain a vinyl monomer and polymethyl methacrylate beads. These materials have a high maximum density and the polymeric latex materials and matting agents may be used without the occurrence of pinholing and high surface gloss.

Abstract: 526,724. Wireless receiving circuits. HAZELTINE CORPORATION. March 25, 1939, No. 9426. Convention date, April 16, 1938. [Class 40 (v)] A muting system in a wireless receiver is of the regressive type, i.e. acting on a stage preceding that from which the control is derived, and is responsive to one only of two simultaneous outputs from the receiver (e.g. the first intermediate frequency) the control being applied to alter only the other output (e.g. the first intermediate frequency). The superheterodyne receiver shown has two frequency changing stages 13, 15, the anode circuit of 15 including circuits 16, 32, tuned respectively to the second and first intermediate frequencies. The output from 16 is applied to the loudspeaker 19, while that from 32 is rectified at 38, 39, the resultant being applied as A.V.C. bias to stages 10, 13, 14 and also to a valve 42 which is in shunt with the frequency determining circuit 20, 21, 22 of 'the local oscillator portion of 15. At normal signal level 42 is biased to cut-off; when the signal strength falls below a predetemined minimum, 42 becomes operative and inhibits the oscillator portion of 15 thus silencing the part of the receiver fed from 16 at the second I.F., the first intermediate frequency being unaffected thereby.
