Filed: 1931-11-12
Abstract: 397,157. Momentary contact switches for welding. BUDD MANUFACTURING CO., E. G., 2500, Hunting Park Avenue, Philadelphia, U.S.A. -(Assignees of Ragsdale, E. J. W. ; Curren Terrace, Norristown, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.) Nov. 12, 1931, No. 18672. Convention date, Nov. 12, 1930. [Class 38 (v).] A momentary-contact switch, adapted to close for an adjustable time interval of the order of <1>/500 to <1>/5000 of a second, the primary circuit 112 of a transformer, the secondary 113 of which supplies extremely high current to the electrodes 114 of a welding apparatus, comprises a handle 80 which is depressed to energize and then release a coil spring 82 arranged between the handle and a disc 24, the spring driving the disc 24 rapidly through one revolution, during part of which time a contact 30 on the face of the disc engages a segmental contact or contacts on the face of a fixed block 42. The block 42 carries a segmental contact 32, Fig. 5, and also a series of segmental contacts 34, 36, 38, 40 connected respectively by bolts extending through the block with contacts 46, 48, 50, 52, some or all of which are adapted to be engaged by a conducting segment, shown shaded in Fig. 5, on an adjustable disc 56. The primary circuit passes to the conducting segment and thence to the selected contacts 34, 36, 38, 40, and the contact 30 on the disc 24 passing rapidly over the selected contacts conveys the current to the contact 32 which is connected to the other terminal of the primary circuit. The segments 34, 36, 38, 40 are of different sizes, and the time that the circuit is closed can be adjusted from the time taken for the contact 30 to traverse the smallest segment 34 to the time taken for it to traverse all the segments. The disc 24 is normally held from rotation by a. tooth 70 on it engaging a latch 72 pivoted to a pillar 74 and held by a spring 73 against a stop 71. When the handle 80 is moved downwards a spring-biased rod 98 mounted on it I moves the latch 72 so that it releases the disc 24. The end of the rod 98 then slips past the end of the latch 72 so that the latter returns and stops the disc 24 after the disc has completed a revolution. The handle 80, when released, returns under the action of a spring 13, the rod 98 slipping past the latch 72, which it can do owing to the provision of a resilient mounting 94. The driving spring 82 bears on a pawl 88 mounted in a slot in the disc 24 so that the disc 24 can complete the last part of its rotation independently of the spring 82. The pawl slips past the end 84 of the spring so as to be re-engaged by the latter prior to the next operation. Specification 372,324, [Group XXII], is referred to.

Patent GB-1590064-A (GB)
Title: Process for the dyeing of textiles in rope form
IPC: D06P3/54
Filed: 1978-05-11
Abstract: Textile goods in hank form comprising natural or synthetic fibres or comprising blends of such fibres are dyed in jet or overflow dyeing units. The textile goods are deaerated by steaming in a dyeing container and heated up by means of the steam to approximately dyeing temperature. The entire dyeing liquor is rapidly poured into the closed and steam-filled dyeing container at approximately dyeing temperature and with the aid of excess pressure acting on the liquor and brought into contact with the textile goods. The hot dyeing liquor introduced under pressure into the closed dyeing container in some cases takes over the transport of the textile goods in the course of the filling phase. The dyeing process is carried out by recycling the liquor and circulation of the goods at the respective steam pressure of the heated dyeing liquor under isothermal conditions. The novel process enables a reduction in the dyeing time in jet or overflow units, together with achievement of an even dyeing appearance, by at least a half, relative to the dyeing times of previously known jet and overflow dyeing processes.
