Abstract: 478,619. Printing-machines. AMERICAN TYPE FOUNDERS, Inc. March 31, 1937, No. 9192. Convention date, April 2, 1936. [Class 100 (ii)] In a printing-machine in which during delivery set-off is prevented by spraying the sheets with an atomized liquid such as a solution of gum arabic in alcohol, the liquid is atomized by compressed air produced by the normal movement of the press, preferably by the means which cushion the reciprocating bed of the machine, and the atomizing device is not actuated when the impression is thrown off. As applied to a flat bed machine, the liquid to be sprayed is led from a tank 22 by a pipe 23 to an atomizer 25 fitted with a nozzle 30. The tank and atomizer are adjustably carried by a stand 20 and are preferably arranged above the delivery table 15. The compressed air is led to the atomizer by a pipe 26 connected to a tank 64 which is charged via pipes 59, 61 and check-valves 60, 62, connected to cylinders 75, 75<1> which act in conjunction with pistons fixed to the bed to cushion the bed at the ends of its reciprocating movements. The tank 64 is fitted with a relief valve, and a pressure valve may be arranged between the tank and the check-valves so as to maintain a cushioning effect when the machine starts. The valves for controlling the supply of air and liquid to the atomizer are operated by a Bowden or like cable 40 which raises the valveoperating lever 34 against the action of a spring. The other end of the cable is operated by a spring-piston arranged in a cylinder 45 and adapted to be depressed to operate the valves by means of a bell-crank lever 50 operated by a roller 55 on a pitman 56 operated by the printing-machine. In a modification, Fig. 5, the cable is operated by a lever 71 actuated by a roller 70 carried by the shaft of the impression cylinder. When the cylinder is tripped the roller 70 is moved out of reach of the lever 71, so that no spray is produced if a sheet is not printed. The roller 70 may actuate an electromagnetic switch to energize an electromagnet which controls the operation of the valves of the atomizer. The switch may be mounted so as to be adjustable in position. Specification 404,815 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to stabilized cellulose derivatives and process for making films therefrom
IPC: C08K3/00
Filed: 1961-03-14
Abstract: A composition comprises a mixture of (1) a water-soluble cellulose ether, (2) monosodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium monohydrogen phosphate, calcium chloride, magnesium sulphate, monobasic potassium citrate, monopotassium dihydrogen phosphate, magnesium p-toluene sulphonate, aluminium sulphate, ammonium sulphate, barium chloride, calcium nitrate or magnesium chloride as stabilizer, and (3) an aqueous solvent for the cellulose ether and stabilizer. The cellulose ether may be a hydroxyalkyl cellulose, carboxyalkyl cellulose, alkyl cellulose, carboxyalkyl hydroxyalkyl cellulose or an alkyl hydroxyalkyl cellulose.  These specified include hydroxyethyl, hydroxypropyl and hydroxybutyl celluloses, carboxymethyl and carboxyethyl celluloses, methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl hydroxyethyl, carboxyethyl hydroxypropyl and carboxymethyl hydroxypropyl celluloses and ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose.  In such films the water-soluble cellulose ether is present in an uncoagulated state and the stabilizer is substantially uniformly distributed throughout the film.  The cellulose ether may be made by conventional etherification in the presence of alkali, followed by neutralization of excess alkali with an acid.  If the neutralization step forms a stabilized salt, the stabilizer may thus be added to the cellulose ether.  In examples from 0.5%-10% by weight of stabilizer, based on the weight of the cellulose ether, is added in the form of an aqueous solution to an aqueous solution of the cellulose ether, and the pH adjusted to within 5-8, generally to about 6.0.

Title: Improvements in automatic reclosing electric circuit interrupter systems
IPC: H02H3/06
Filed: 1924-04-15
Abstract: 214,626. Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Co., Ltd., (Assignees of Peterson, A. J. A.). April 16, 1923, [Convention date]. Protective arrangements.-In an automatically-reclosing circuit-breaker system in which the circuit breakers are operated in a predetermined sequence, devices are provided which operate when a cross-connection between conductors takes place and the corresponding circuit breakers are opened, so presenting the reclosure of the interrupter associated with one of the cross connected conductors while the cross connection persists and thereby preventing continuous alternate re-closure of the circuit breakers on the affected feeders. As applied to a system of the type described in Specification 208,724 if for instance the phase A of feeder 2, Fig. 1, becomes connected to the phase B of feeder 3, both corresponding circuit-breakers are opened. One of these circuit-breakers, e.g. 5 in feeder 3, is re-closed and will remain closed, the control gear being disconnected from this feeder and stepped round to control the circuit breaker of the other affected feeder. The voltage relay 32 of feeder 2 will, however, be energized on closing the circuit-breaker 5 of the cross-connected feeder 3 and this relay is provided with back contacts 34 which are now broken. Consequently the operating coil of the relay 18 controlling the closing coil 10 of circuit breaker 4 is opened between the contact member 57 of the selector control relay 51 and the operating coil of the relay 18. so that relays 18 and 52 cannot be operated. The motor of the selector 51 will however remain energized and continue rotating, and is arranged to bring contacts 90 together at every revolution so completing an alarm circuit 91, 92, the continual periodic operation of which indicates the nature of the fault. In the arrangement shown in the present Specification, each phase of each parallel feeder is provided with a circuit breaker and reclosing gear.
