Title: Process for the surfacing of textiles
IPC: D06Q1/06
Filed: 1957-11-19
Abstract: Compositions for use in the surfacing of textiles with fluff comprise aqueous emulsions of waterinsoluble, or slightly water-soluble, polymeric film formers, together with water-soluble or water-dispersible methylol-group-containing N-methylol-polyethers. Polymeric film formers to be used for the invention are polymerization products containing methylol or methylol alkyl ether groups together with amide, hydroxy or ester groups.  Preferably polymers or copolymers are used containing several times in the molecule the grouping:  <FORM:0872525/IV (a)/1> in which R is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl or aryl radical and R1 an alkyl radical. Other materials which may be used are copolymers of methacrylamide-methylol methyl ether with butadiene, its homologues or derivatives, styrene and its substitution products, acrylonitrile, acrylic or methacrylic acid, or their esters, acrylamide, or methacrylamide, vinyl chloride, vinylidene chloride or organic vinyl esters.  These copolymers may be used in conjunction with water-soluble polymers or copolymers containing amide, hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, such as polyacrylamide, polymethacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol and polyacrylic acid.  The N-methylolpoly-ethers are obtained by condensation of poly-N-methylol compounds with polyhydric alcohols, the poly-N-methylol compounds being reaction products of formaldehyde with ureas, urethanes, dihydrazides or acid amides, such as melamine, or adipic acid diamide.  Polyhydric alcohols specified include hexanetriol either alone or in admixture with 1, 4 di(o -hydroxyethoxy)-butane, glycerol, pentaerythritol or sorbitol.  Modification products of such N-methylolpolyethers with low molecular weight poly-N-methylol compounds, as described in Specification 872,524 or with monofunctional alcohols may also be used.  In order to effect complete co-condensation of the methylol compounds on the textile, curing catalysts, such as ammonium chloride or thiocyanate may be added.  Specifications 792,874 and 872,523 also are referred to.

The apparatus of Specification 981, 577 as adapted for monitoring the production data of a plurality of machines comprises a holder, Fig. 26, for a chart 330 having lines thereon defining a plurality of chart frames 310, 314, a pair for each machine, a print bar 115 sweeping the chart frames 310 in turn in synchronism with the arm 215 of a precision commutator 50, Fig. 30, in a null sensing circuit in which are successively connected by the bar 115 successively closing switches 168, the arms 334 of a plurality of accumulator potentiometers 333 each representing the output of a different machine as measured by the number of input pulses received therefrom since a preselected starting time, a relay 347 causing a printer on the bar 115 to make marks on the chart representing these values as measured at predetermined intervals of time and means driving the printer along the bar so that successive marks on each frame are spaced across that frame in accordance with elapsed time. Where there are two columns of frames 330 two printers move along the bar 115, one being selected to mark the left hand frames on the upward sweep of the bar 115 and the other to mark the right hand frames on the downward sweep, selection being controlled by a relay alternately closing and opening contacts 343a, 343b. Electrical means for grouping input pulses are described for changing the scale of recording to suit each machine. For a machine expected to produce 1, 000 units in 8 units of time, the record 311 shown in Fig. 28 indicates that production was faster than expected and the record of the extra 250 units produced in the final one and a half time-units is arranged to be displaced downwardly in order to be indicated within the frame 310. Horizontal portions 313 indicate idle time of the machine. The chart 330 is translucent and when a machine stops a warning light distinctively illuminates the corresponding frame 310 and an alarm is also given in a unit 301, Fig. 27, on the corresponding machine. The operative in charge is required to press a button 317 indicative of one of five causes of stoppage and another printer continues to record marks producing an indication 318 of the idle-time due to this cause in a corresponding line 315 of the frame 314. If a button is not pressed the record appears in line 316 for unclassified causes. Counters for production control and for accounting purposes may be associated with the apparatus, e.g. counters 319 count idle time for each of six causes for all machines, counters 320 count total production for each machine.

Title: Improvements in spray carburetters
IPC: F02M9/127
Filed: 1920-12-29
Abstract: 169,137. Kendall, J. J. Sept. 14, 1920, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors.-In a carburettor comprising a manually actuated sliding choke member provided with lateral air ports and sliding over a fixed fuel nozzle having a permanently open fuel orifice the choke member 99, which slides over the nozzle 45, works in conjunction with an adjustable choke cap 66 and the nozzle has an additional orifice 52 controlled by a spring loaded tapered pin 55 which is actuated under certain conditions by the movement of the choke member. Air is admitted to the carburettor by a valve sliding in a casing 20 having cold and hot air inlets and connected with the air inlet 12 and mixture outlet 17, so that hot or cold air separately or in combustion may be supplied to the mixing chamber. When the lowest series of ports 62 in the choke tube, which are cylindrical, are brought into action, the air impinges on the nozzle outlet, and, as the choke tube is still further lowered, more air enters through the perforations 61 and past the cap 66. This cap may be adjusted to cut off the passage through the choke tube when the latter has been raised through a predetermined distance. The choke cap 66 is carried by a rod 67 screwed into cap 69 and provided with an adjusting collar 70. The choke tube is carried by a yoke 80 having a hollow extension 81 on which a rack 82 is formed. The rack is actuated by a toothed sector, the actuating arm of which is connected to a point within reach of the driver. A rod 71. with disc 72, passes through rod 67 and is screwed into a sleeve 73. A collar 74 slides over rod 71 and is forced against the sleeve by a spring 75 bearing on a carrier 76, a central boss on which screws over the rod 71. Fingers 98 on the sleeve extend through slots 97 in the side of the barrel 84. A compression spring 77 is inserted between the carrier 76 and fixed collar 70. At first only the fuel orifice 53 is in action, the remaining orifice 52 being opened by the disc 72 striking the valve 55, loaded by a light spring 56, when the choke tube has been lowered to such an extent that the delivery from the orifice 53 is insufficient for the air supply. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) describes also the means for controlling the hot and cold air supplies in which the valve comprises a diaphragm 26 with a cutaway segmental portion 41. In its extreme right or left hand positions, hot or cold air may be admitted to both ports 42, 21, whereas in its midposition the port 21 is cut off and hot or cold air or both may be admitted to the mixing chamber through passages 12, 13, 14, 15. When the choketube is fully raised, no air can enter the mixing chamber, and air can only be admitted to the outlet 17 for braking purposes. The valve is actuated by a flexible connection 29, 32 to a graduated disc near the driver. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Filed: 1966-09-15
Abstract: 1,161,764. Converting; supply systems for consuming apparatus. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO. 15 Sept., 1966 [11 Oct., 1965], No. 36459/66. Headings H2F and H2H. [Also in Division H3] In a power switching circuit comprising a triggerable vacuum gap device 10, the circuit for supplying pulses to the trigger electrode comprises a controlled switching device 25 which changes its conductive state in response to the voltage across the main electrodes of the vacuum gap to trigger the vacuum gap device, the means coupling the controlled switching device to the trigger electrode being such as to restrict the current to the trigger electrode after a period of time sufficient to enable conduction to be established between the main electrodes. When the potential at terminal 15 goes positive, SCR 25 conducts and produces a high voltage pulse, at the secondary of transformer 27, which is fed via capacitor 32 to the control electrode of device 10. When the device conducts, the potential at this control electrode falls, and diode 30 conducts to continue the supply of current to the control electrode until the capacitor 32 is fully charged. In a simpler arrangement, Fig. 1 (not shown), the capacitor (17) provides the only trigger pulse, the transformer and diode being omitted. In a modification for firing the device 10 on both half cycles, Fig. 4, firing on the positive half-cycle is as before and firing on the negative half-cycle is initiated by SCR 66. When device 10 conducts on this half-cycle a further SCR 67 is rendered conductive to provide the continued charging current for capacitor 82. In a further modification of Fig. 2, Fig. 6 (not shown), the main electrodes of the controlled switching device are supplied from a separate D.C. source, and the diode is replaced by an inductor (102). The circuit may also be arranged such that the main triggering current does not flow through the controlled switching device, Fig. 5 (not shown), by isolating the primary and secondary circuits of the transformer. An electrically controlled mechanical switch, e.g. a relay may be used as the controlled switching device, Fig. 7 (not shown).

Title: Dyeing with sulphur dyestuffs
Filed: 1955-12-29
Abstract: Cellulose fibrous materials, such as cotton regenerated cellulose fibres and paper, are dyed with sulphur dyestuffs without the application of reducing agents and caustic alkali by padding the material with an aqueous solution of a water-soluble reaction product of a sulphur dyestuff with a salt of sulphurous acid, and then heating, e.g. to 80-120 DEG  C., to fix the dyestuff. The padded material is preferably squeezed before heating.  The heating step may be effected with hot air, steam, hot oil, molten metal or hot calenders or with a hot concentrated solution of a salt such as sodium thiosulphate or trisodium phosphate.  The wetfastness of the dyeings may be improved by an aftertreatment with a peralkylated polyamine or with a bichromate and copper sulphate.  Substantive dyestuffs may also be added to the padding liquor or, alternatively, the material may be predyed with substantive dyestuffs.  Examples are given.
