Filed: 1946-10-07
Abstract: A paint softening composition comprises a solution of a wax and cellulose acetate in a mixture containing acetone, a solvent for the wax and either tetramethylene oxide or a mixture of aliphatic alcohols or both.  The wax may be paraffin wax and the alcohols a mixture of propyl and butyl alcohols.  The wax solvent may be benzene or chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as a mixture of ethylene dichloride and carbon tetrachloride.  The composition may also contain a surface-active agent such as a long chain alkyl benzene sulphonate or the diamyl, di-isobutyl, dihexyl or dioctyl ester of sodium sulphosuccinic acid, an aliphatic acid ester such as ethyl acetate and titanium oxide.ALSO:A paint softening composition comprises a solution of a wax and cellulose acetate in a mixture containing acetone, a solvent for the wax, and either tetramethylene oxide or a mixture of aliphatic alcohols or both.

Class 100(1) In sheet-feeding apparatus wherein the sheet pile 1 is raised during the continuous removal of sheets from the top, the fixed side rails 6, 7 for the pile have end portions 26, 27, respectively, which can be swung to the horizontal position as shown, or slid or telescoped along the rails, to enable a second auxiliary pile table 14 to be inserted so that a second pile of sheets can be placed thereon. This second pile is then ready for use when the first pile has been removed by the separators. The pile 1 abuts front rails 5 and the side rails 6, 7, and the latter are secured on adjusting bars 8, 9 held in clamps 10, 11 on the frames 12, 13. The first pile table 2 is notched to accommodate the rails 6, 7, and is engaged by screw-threaded members 24, 25 on screws 22, 23 which are rotated by worm gearing 31, 32. The second pile table 14 is supported on a cross-rod 15 and side supports 16, 17. As shown, the ends 26, 27 of the side rails 6, 7 are hinged to the latter and can be swung to the horizontal position and retained there by spring- pressed pin and notch means. In a modification, the ends 26, 27 can be slid upwardly along the rails to enable the table 14 to be inserted.

Title: Improvements in and relating to electric discharge devices provided with thermostatic switches of bimetallic strip type
IPC: H05B41/06
Filed: 1934-10-19
Abstract: 445,789. Thermostats. BRITISH THOMSON - HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London, and RUFF, H. R., Waverley, Overslade Road, Rugby. Oct. 19, 1934, No. 29986. [Class 64 (ii)] [See also Groups XXXVII and XL] A thermal switch for use in discharge apparatus comprises a main bimetallic strip 14 which is mounted on a wire 21, and carries a small bimetallic strip 16 arranged so as to bend in the opposite direction to the strip 14 on heating. When cold the strip 16 makes contact with a second wire 20 connected to one pole of the supply and completes a heating circuit to an electrode 11 connected to the other pole of the supply. Heat conducted from the electrode 11 heats the main strip 14 which bends downwards and breaks the circuit. If however current is switched off and then switched on again before the strip 16 has made contact with wire 20, sparking at the contacts heats the strip 16 which bends towards the wire 20 to make good contact until the main strip 14 has heated sufficiently to bend and break the circuit. Specifications 433,789 and 445,475, [both in Group XL], are referred to.

Title: Treatment of fabrics containing cellulosic fibres
IPC: D06M11/30
Filed: 1964-08-04
Abstract: Patterned thermoperforated fabrics containing cellulosic fibres are produced by applying a printing paste containing a metal salt of a mineral acid, e.g. aluminium chloride or sulphate and zinc chloride, on to the areas of the fabric which are to form the perforations, dry heating the fabric to an elevated temperature so that the treated areas are at least partially carbonized and then treating the fabric with a solution of a chlorite, e.g. sodium chlorite, to remove the at least partially carbonised cellulose from the treated areas.  The printing paste may also contain wheat starch, British gum, British rubber cement, tragocanth and white pigments, e.g. titanium oxide, or lake dyes if coloured designs are required.  When printing grey cloth a nonionic wetting agent or anionic wetting agent, e.g. an alkylnaphthalene sulphonic acid, may be added to the printing paste to promote permeability.  The dry heating may be effected at a temperature of at least 120 DEG C.  The fabric may then be washed and treated with an aqueous solution containing 1.5-2% by weight of the chlorite and if desired a permeation promoting agent comprising an alkyl-aryl sulphonate in the form of its sodium salt and a polyethenoxy-nonyl-phenol-dialliyl sulphosuccinate adjusted to a pH of 3-5 by the addition of formic acid or a mineral acid and heated with steam at 50 DEG -90 DEG  C.  It may then be subjected to a dechlorination process and washed with water.  Fabrics comprising cotton, staple fibre artificial silks or flax alone or in admixture with silk, wool, acetate rayon or polypropylene fibres may be treated.
