Title: Liquid-dispensing installations
IPC: G05D7/00
Filed: 1974-06-05
Abstract: 1465803 Dispensing liquids L JUNGMANS VERKSTADER AB 5 June 1974 [5 June 1973]  25023/74 Heading A4T Apparatus for dispensing vehicle fuel, heating oil, &c., comprises a conduit 1 leading from a supply tank (not shown), an air separator 10, metering means 11, means 15, 16 for interrupting flow, and means 9 for monitoring the pressure in the conduit 1 to allow dispensing to take place only at or above a predetermined pressure head. The metering means 11 preferably includes a presetting device 12 for the required volume and the flow interrupting means comprises shut-off valves 15, 17, the latter located in a by-pass conduit 16, which allows for restricted flow with only the valve 17 open. On setting the device 12 to the required volume and starting the dispensing cycle, switches 29, 30, are closed and pressure builds up in the conduit 1 until the monitoring device 9 senses the required pressure head, whereupon a switch 31 is closed. Solenoids 23, 26 are operated to open the valves 15, 17, the latter being operated directly while the former is operated indirectly by pneumatic pressure, controlled by valves 22, A, 20. As the desired dispensed quantity is approached, the device 12 causes the switch 30 to open, closing the valve 15, and dispensing is completed at reduced rate through the valve 17 until this is also closed by opening of the switch 29. If, during dispensing, the pressure in the conduit 1 falls below the required level, the device 9 causes the switch 31 to open. The solenoids 23, 26 are de-energized and a solenoid 42 is energized to adjust the valve A leading to closure of the valves 15, 17. If, however, the pressure returns to the required level and the switch 31 is closed, the solenoids 23, 26 are re-energized. The valve 17 is reopened, to restart dispensing at reduced rate, and reopening of the valve 15 takes place on resetting the valve A, which is effected by a solenoid 40, operated by a switch E, either manually actuated or actuated automatically after a timed delay. A feeler 3 in a tank 2 for receiving the dispensed liquid is operable to terminate dispensing if the tank 2 should become full. In alternative embodiments, Figs. 6 and 7 (not shown), modified control circuits may be arranged for electrical or pneumatic operation.

Title: Method of treating latex and product obtained thereby
IPC: C08K3/34
Filed: 1928-09-01
Abstract: 298,628. Naugatuck Chemical Co., (Assignees of McGavack, J.). Oct. 14, 1927. [Convention date]. Latex, treating.-A reversible uncoagulated gel is formed by adding to latex a small quantity of a hydrosol of silicic acid and allowing the mixture to stand. Either an acid or an alkaline hydrosol, but preferably the latter, may be used. The hydrosol may be pre-formed or may be formed in the latex. In one example, 5 ccs. of a. solution. of sodium silicate, sp. gr, 1.2, is added to 100 ccs, of 36 per cent ammonia-preserved latex, and to the mixture 10 ccs. of 6 per cent boric acid is rapidly stirred in. A gel which may be used for spreading, coating &c., forms in a few minutes. In another example, an alkaline hydrosol is first made by adding 25 ccs. of 7 per cent acetic acid to 60 ccs. of sodium silicate, sp. gr. 1.2, and 130 ccs. of latex is then stirred in. In forming the hydrosol any acid, e.g. citric, benzoic, hydrochloric, sulphuric, having a pH value between 4 and 6 may be used. The invention may be applied to natural, artificial, vulcanized, creamed, or partially-coagulate latices, with or without compounding or vulcanizing ingredients. Gels formed in accordance with the invention are stated to have the property of depositing their rubber rapidly upon a filtering-body or matrix, with or without the aid of an electric current.

[Also in Divisions B2 and C3] A foam which is fusible at below 150 C. made by heating a composition comprising a vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate copolymer, a plasticizer and a N 2 -evolving blowing system which is active at below 150 C. is fused on to a woven or non-woven textile article, e.g. a carpet at a temperature below 150 C. The copolymer may contain 2-14% wt. of vinyl acetate as well as a third copolymerizable monomer. Suitable plasticizers include butylbenzyl, dihexyl-, diheptyl- and dioctyl phthalate. The blowing system comprises a blowing agent and a metallic salt acting as a " kicker ". Preferably a mixture of azodicarbonamide and benzenesulphonhydrazide is used in the presence of the salts, e.g. oleates of Cd, Zn, Ba and Pb. The composition may be applied as a foam or may be extruded as a foaming mass. The method is particularly suitable for textiles made of heat sensitive fibres, e.g. nylon, acrylic, viscose, polyester or polypropylene.

The selection of the needles around which the pattern yarns are to be laid may be obtained by providing needle jacks 11a having patterning butts 11c, 11d of varying length arranged at different levels for coacting with cams 12 which can be moved radially into any of a number of positions. The needles may be raised to receive a patterning yarn at two points in the needle circle, and two members 27 may be provided, so that when two pattern yarns, e.g. of different colour, are provided for a small group of needles, selected of the needles in the group may receive one yarn, while others may receive the second yarn. The means for supplying different yarns to selected needles of a group is claimed in Specification 362,899.

Abstract: 427,389. Motion - picture apparatus. AUBUCHON, W. N., 60, Wall Street, New York, U.S.A. Sept. 14, 1933, No. 25453. [Class 97 (i)] A motion-picture projecting-apparatus of the kind comprising in combination a screen, images associated with the screen, and lighting means for throwing a silhouette of the images on the screen so as to obtain a motion picture effect is characterized in that the images comprise a plurality of outlines of the same object in different attitudes provided on a plate at an angle to the screen and having transparent portions outlining the images, and a plurality of lights corresponding in number to the different image outlines and adapted to be lit in a definite order are positioned so that some are on different sides of the vertical central plane of the screen and are respectively positioned relatively to the images so that on illumination in a definite order they successively throw silhouettes of the images on the screen in overlapping relation. As shown in Fig. 2, a screen 13 is hinged to a box 10 containing electric light bulbs 11 separated by partitions 12 and is provided with a strut 14 notched to engage a screw 15. A film 17 bearing images distorted to produce an undistorted shadow on the screen 13 is supported on a rack 18 and rests against a short cover section 16.

[Class 135] In a stop valve of the kind comprising a pair of rotary valve plates 1 pressed against opposed seat members by interposed springs 3, the valve plates are moved so as to be nearer together than during the normal operation of the valve by cam means 4, 5 associated with the plates and the main part 6 of a guide cage therefor, on imparting an angular overtravel x to the valve. The valve assembly comprising the plates 1 and the cage part 6 can then be removed from the valve chest 15 with the cover 14 to which the part 6 is secured. As shown, diametrically opposite followers 4 on each valve plate engage in cam slots 5 in the cage 6. The valve is operated by a spindle 9 threaded for operation by a hand wheel 11. A removable stop or distance piece 8 limits the valve travel in at least one direction by cooperation with a collar 10. On removal of the stop 8, the overtravel necessary to move the valve plates together may be imparted to the valve. The valve may be closed by a power piston 12 in the case of an emergency when a spring-loaded exhaust valve 13 is opened by known manual operating means which free the nut 16 for axial travel with the spindle 9.
