Abstract: 1461218 Towing cables FRANCE ARMED FORCES-MINISTER OF 3 March 1975 [19 March 1974] 8815/75 Heading B7V [Also in Division D1] A cable fairing 2 has at one end means 17 whereby it can be attached to a cable 1 and at its other end a truncated shape 14. In Fig. 3 the truncated shape is formed by a concave surface 14 providing edges 15, 16. Alternatively the surface 14 may be a plane perpendicular to the plane XX<SP>1</SP>. In Fig. 1 (not shown) the truncation is effected by a chamfer (11) that is oblique relative to the plane XX<SP>1</SP> and provides two sharp edges or ridges (12, 13). The fairings of this kind may be in short lengths and the next fairing on the line is also truncated by an oblique chamfer (11a), the chamfer (11a) being of opposite inclination to the chamfer (11). Alternatively the fairing may be a single continuous and deformable element wherein the truncation comprises successive chamfers which are alternately inclined on each side of the plane XX<SP>1</SP> by an equal angle. The edges 15, 16; (12, 13); are stated to cause separation of the fluid streams or jets that pass over the opposite surfaces of the fairings and such separation is stated to suppress lateral deviation during towing. Juxtaposed fairings may be interconnected by a pivot 7 engaged in blind bores 8. The pivot 7 limits mutual displacement between two juxtaposed fairings in such a manner that there is no risk of any electrical conductors in a cavity 3 being sheared.

Title: Arrangement for cutting intermittently moved material to length

Filed: 1964-03-03
Abstract: 1,024,798. Shearing. H. GEORG. March 3, 1964, No. 8977/64. Heading B3W. In an arrangement for dividing intermittently moved material, the material is conveyed by continuously driven rollers which are separated to interrupt the feed, through a straightening apparatus and then through a shear which is controlled by a stop which is engaged by the leading end of the material and is adjustable in position in relation to the shear, the arrangement being characterized in that means are provided in the feed path of the material and preceding the stop, which initiate the separation of the feed rollers. Wire or rod 5 is driven by feed rollers 3, 4 through a straightener 1, and a shear 11 towards trip means 18 and a stop 19. Passage of the material beneath the trip completes an electric circuit through contacts 21, 22, 23 and through a magnetic or magnetohydraulic unit 25 raises a frame 6 which supports the feed rollers 3, and which is spring- loaded to press the rollers together. The material continues to move by its own momentum until it strikes the stop 19, and thereby closes the contacts 27, 28 in the operating circuit of a magnetic or magneto-hydraulic unit 30. This unit rotates a three-armed gag 15 which is mounted on the upper blade carrier 12 of the sheer 11 so that a crank 14 produces a working stroke of the shear. The feed rollers 3, 4 remain separated until the cut-off material is removed from the table 20 which is tipped by a magnetic or magneto-hydraulic unit 31 having contacts 34, 35 in its circuit, which is closed by a member 32 when the unit 30 operates.

Title: Improvements in or relating to pneumatic brakes
IPC: B60T15/58
Filed: 1959-03-18
Abstract: 908,965. Pneumatic brakes. KNORRBREMSE G.m.b.H. March 18, 1959 [April 10, 1958], No. 9402/59. Class 103 (1). In a pneumatic braking installation for a train of vehicles in which hauled vehicles are braked by means of a vacuum system and the locomotive vehicle is braked by a compressedair system, the systems are coupled together by means of a relay valve 9 which is controllable pneumatically by each of the brake systems and arranged for transmitting their regulating processes reciprocally. The relay valve 9 consists of two pistons 21, 33, connected together in a coaxial fashion and which are acted upon on one side 25, 35, by constant or substantially constant pressure and on the other side, 11, 29, by the pressures in the brake control pipes (train pipes) of the vacuum 3 and compressed-air systems 1, respectively, the coupled pistons being arranged for actuating two control valves associated one, 43, with the compressed-air system and the other, 15, with the vacuum system. When the brakes are applied, the pressure in the compressed-air brake control pipe 1 is reduced by means of the driver's brake valve (not shown) so that the pressure in the control chamber 29 falls while being fully maintained on the other side of the piston 33 due to the closing of the non-return valve 53. The pistons 21 and 33 therefore descend and the brake valve 15 opens to allow air to pass from chamber 19 via chamber 11 to the pipe 3, thereby causing the vacuum brakes on the hauled vehicles to respond. In the case of application of the brakes initiated via vacuum brake-control pipe during emergency brake applications, the pressure in the piston chamber 11 rises rapidly and the piston system moves upwardly to lift valve 43 off its seat so that compressed-air is evacuated to atmosphere via pipe 49 and the spaces 47 and 41 whereby the compressed-air brakes are also applied.

Title: Anti-dusting treatment of textiles
IPC: D06M101/02
Filed: 1975-03-07
Abstract: 1478097 Anti-dusting treatment of textiles WEST POINT-PEPPERELL Inc 7 March 1975 [2 April 1974] 9556/75 Heading D1P A process for reducing the tendency of a durable press fabric comprising cellulosic fibres cross-linked with a textile resin, to form dust, comprises applying the fabric with polyethylene glycol of molecular weight of at least 100000 in an amount sufficient to inhibit or substantially reduce formation of dust compared to the untreated fabric. The polyethylene glycol is applied, conveniently as an aqueous solution, to the fabric either during its treatment with a durable press cross linking agent or applied after the fibres of the fabric have been cross-linked with the textile resin. The solution may be sprayed on to the fabric using pneumatic nozzles with relatively high air to liquid ratios which produce an aerosol or fog, a vacuum slot being used to pull such a fog against the fabric. 0.4% by weight polyethylene glycol, based on the weight of the fabric is appropriate for those fabrics most prone to shredding dust wherein an add-on can be achieved by applying a solution containing about 0.7% by weight of polyethylene glycol, with a wet pick-up of about 60%. When a spray is used lesser amounts of polyethylene glycol are necessary wherein an add-on of 2-3% by weight, based on the weight of a fabric, of a 2% solution of polyethylene glycol, is sufficient. This gives an add-on of about 0.04 to 0.06% by weight of the fabric. In a given example, the fabric was composed of 50% polyethylene terephthalate fibres and 50% cotton and had a weight of 3.8 ounces/sq. yd and was saturated and squeezed to provide a 60% wet pick-up of the solution containing the glycol, the cross-linking textile resin, softener, a wetting agent etc. It was then dried by heating in air at a temperature of 175‹C for 1-1¢ minutes, and then cured by heating on a hot surface at a temperature of 195‹C for ¢ minute. The fabric may be woven, knitted or non- woven and contain cross-1linkable cellulosic fibres, e.g. regenerated cellulose (rayon) or cotton, optionally blended with other natural or synthetic fibres and treated with crosslinking agents such as aminoplasts.
