Title: Application of markings to textile products
Inventor: SHADBOLT LAWRENCE EDWARD
IPC: A41D27/08
Filed: 1960-10-14
Abstract: 928,347. Transfers and labels. POLYMARK Ltd. Oct. 9, 1961 [Oct. 14, 1960], No. 35276/60. Class 100 (2). A transfer comprises a temporary support 11, Fig. 2, of paper coated with a mixture of an alkyd resin and an oil-soluble melamine-formaldehyde resin screen-printed with a decorative pattern 12 utilizing a solubilized linear polyamide such as Maranyl C 109/P. The support 11 may comprise a polymer of glyceryl terephthalate. In a further embodiment the pattern 12, Fig. 4, is covered with a transparent, translucent or opaque layer 13 which is capable of forming a contrastingly coloured background, after transfer of the decorative pattern to a textile article. The layer 13 may comprise a solubilized linear polyamide similar to the medium from which the pattern 12 is formed. In yet a further embodiment the support 11, Fig. 5, is initially coated with a transparent layer 14 of a solubilized linear polyamide and the pattern 12, also compounded from a solubilized linear polyamide, is applied to the outer surface of this coating layer. The above transfers are applied to a fabric or textile article under heat and pressure, the support 11 being then removed. Fig. 8 discloses a label in the form of a marking element which may be readily removed as a complete entity from the support 25 before or after application and can be handled as a separate unit. The element comprises a multiple layer construction with a printed pattern 22 sandwiched between enclosing layers 23, 24 and carried upon a support 25, which may be of paper. The pattern 22 may be printed in a flexographic ink, or an ink based on a solubilized linear polyamide, and both layers 23, 24 may be of such a polyamide. In an alternative arrangement the layer 24 consists of a film or foil of nylon or a similar linear polyamide material. The solubilized linear polyamides referred to preferably consist of Nylon 66 rendered soluble by treatment with an aldehyde as described in Specification 591,382. Catalysts, e.g. aconitic, hydrochloric, oxalic, toluene sulphonic, phthalic, sulphuric, salicylic, tartaric, phosphoric, citric, sulphanilic, tannic and thiosalicylic acids, may be added to the solubilized linear polyamides in order to accelerate the rate at which resistance to deterioration due to use or wear is developed in the transferred pattern 12 or 22 whilst it is being subjected to the heat and pressure of the transfer or labelling operation. Alternatively, the catalyst may be applied by interposing a cloth moistened with the catalyst solution between the transfer or element and a heated pressure member during a heat treatment beyond that required to provide transfer or labelling.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of impregnated fibre material
IPC: B29C70/50
Filed: 1967-08-10
Abstract: 1,214,154. Fibre-reinforced laminate. FIBREGLASS Ltd., and F. H. POOK. 8 Aug., 1968 [10 Aug., 1967], No. 36732/67. Heading B5N. [Also in Divisions C3 and D1] In the manufacture of a laminate, a fibrereinforced sheet is made by uniformly distributing fibres over a surface, forming spaced bodies of a flowable bonding material on the fibres, the spacing being sufficient to ensure that the bonding material in each body flows individually downwardly through the fibre layer and that the bodies are united by lateral flow at the bottom of the fibre layer, then causing the bonding material to flow through the fibres between the bodies to complete the impregnation of the fibre layer. As shown in Fig. 2, continuous strands or short fibres of glass or asbestos pass along tube 41, and are cut into short fibres by a cutter 46, which is oscillated transversely of advancing film 15, and deposited on to film 15. The deposited fibre layer is made uniform by vibrating plates 68, 69 and made of constant width by transversely oscillating ploughs 71, 72. The resin flows on to the fibre layer in separate streams from hopper 19. This hopper comprises a sloping end wall and an attached castellated plate (84) to separate the overflowing resin into separate streams. The hopper has an internal castellated baffle (85), see Fig. 6 (not shown). The hopper also comprises individual resin stream adjusters to maintain uniformity in the separate resin streams. The resin can contain polyester, calcium carbonate, magnesia, pigment and t-butylperbenzoate. The impregnated web can have a second amount of fibre strewn on its upper surface. A covering sheet is then applied to the fibre layer which is then covered with a sheet and pressed between rollers so the resin uniformly impregnates the fibres. The impregnated fibre sheet is then either wound up or passed through a curing oven and cut into separate, optionally corrugated or curved, sheets. The film 15 and the covering sheet may be of polyethylene or cellulose acetate.

Abstract: 1370967 Photo-electric testing of aperture masks BUCKBEE - MEARS CO 7 Aug 1972 [21 Oct 1971] 36753/72 Heading G1A The poles in a colour television picture tube aperture mask are checked for correctness of the angle of the side walls by means of photo-electric apparatus. The apparatus is provided with a mirror structure 16 comprising mirrors 41, 42, 43, 44 for diverting beam 57, 58 in such a way as to be angled with respect to the main optical axis from source 11 to detector 12. A mask to be tested is first placed between the mirror structure 16 and the detector so that the beam passes orthogonally through a hole. The detector output is then compared with that obtained when the same hole of the mask is positioned in the path of the angled beam, the mask being inserted at 17 if the hole is angled correctly i.e. at the angle set by the adjustable mirrors, identical measurements are obtained. A faultily etched hole however will produce some obscuration of the angled beam. Instead of mirrors, prisms may be used.
