Title: Improvements in or relating to Load Lifting Vehicles
Inventor: POOLE HAROLD GEORGE
IPC: B60P1/02
Filed: 1967-02-15
Abstract: 1,153,213. Raising and securing load floors on vehicles; pallet trucks. H. G. POOLE. 15 Feb., 1968 [15 Feb., 1967], No. 7311/67. Headings B8E and B8H. A load supporting floor 14 is raised and secured within the U-shaped limbs 11 of a vehicle by horizontal bars 22 attached by pivoted links 16 to the limbs 11 as described in Specification 1,107,763, Figs. 8 and 12. The hydraulic lifting rams 26, 28 act through brackets 16d hooked shaped extremities 16e of which engage lateral projections 25 from posts 24 of the floor 14 and in the raised position the hooks prevent up and down movement of the floor relative to the limbs 11. During lifting the projections 25 are engaged between abutments 23, 22b and 23c on the bars 22. As the raised position is approached a pin 43, Fig. 2, between lugs 42 on a cross-bar 40 extending between the front ends of the bars 22 becomes engaged by a hook 52 mounted on the goose neck of the draw bar thus holding the bars 22 raised until the hook is released by a control rod 59. The floor 14 is provided with a pivoted block 14d which is engaged in a socket 11a at the rear end of each limb 11 when the floor is raised. If several floors are used in the length of the limbs 11 all but the end blocks 14d may be pivoted to an inoperative position. Wedges may be provided on the floor 14 to give a wedging action with sloping faces on the limbs 11 as the floor is raised to prevent lateral movement of the floor.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the preparation of pigments and the like
IPC: C09B67/06
Filed: 1928-03-09
Abstract: 318,937. Crawford, J. W. C., Scharff, G. E., and Imperial Chemical Industries, Ltd. March 9, 1928. Dye preparations.-Water is removed from wet ;pigments or vat dyestuffs pastes by heating and agitating them with an inert liquid non-miscible with water such as benzene, toluene, xylene, or turpentine, which may be mixed with ethyl alcohol or higher homologues. The vapour formed is condensed and separated into two layers, the inert liquid with or without admixed alcohol being returned to the pigment and the distillation continued until dehydration is complete. The pigment may be used while wet with the inert liquid or alcohol or it may be dried below 50‹ C. at normal or reduced pressure and submitted to moderate grinding. Solvents of high boiling-point such as tricresyl phosphate, dibutyl phthalate or softening agents such as castor oil, linseed oil may be added to the dehydrating liquid. Wetting agents such as metallic resinates, for example magnesium, calcium, or barium resinate, resins such as natural rosin, synthetic resins such as those of the Albertol and Glyptal types, or ester gum, fatty acids or their soaps, higher fatty acid amides such as stearic anilide, salts of naphthenic acids. waxes such as paraffin or carnauba wax or wax-like bodies of the polychloro-aryl type, rubber, preferably in the form of latex, or cellulose esters and ethers such as acetyl-, benzyl-, and nitro-cellulose, may be employed. The treatment of vat dyestuff pastes yields products suitable for the dyeing and printing of textile fibres, in the preparation of lithographic ink, or pigmenting plastic compositions such as linoleum, nitrocellulose and rubber composition. In examples Scarlet lake, Brunswick Green, anthraquinone hydroazine, are treated to yield products readily dispersible in solutions of cellulose esters &c.

Abstract: 1,253,357. Levels. PARRY & BOTT Ltd. Feb. 13, 1969 [Feb. 16, 1968], No. 7608/68. Heading G1F. A spirit level comprises a body 10 e.g. of I- section metal having a first pair of spaced parallel working faces 14 and a second pair of spaced parallel working faces perpendicular to the first pair and constituted by the machined edges of the I-section, and at least one bubble-level tube 25 having a barrel-shaped bore mounted with the axis of the bore parallel to all the working faces of the level and disposed so that it is visible when viewed in directions parallel to the faces 14. In this way, for low work, the level may be set on a surface to be checked, as shown in the figure, the tube 25 being easily seen from above, and for work at eyelevel the surfaces 14 may be used the tube 25 being viewed from the side. The web 11 of the I- section body is provided with apertures 17 for ease of handling of the level, and a triangular aperture 18 for hanging the level. Ends 19 for the level are provided and are shaped to be a press-fit in the ends of the I-section body. Further apertures are pointed in the web 11 for mounting the bubble 25 and also plumb level tubes 26 for checking whether surfaces are vertical. Each of the tubes 25, 26 is formed from a rectangular block of synthetic resinous material and machined with a barrelshaped bore with two grooves containing metal rings acting as indicators for when the tube is level. The tubes preferably contain a coloured liquid, and the side faces of the blocks are convex so as to magnify the tube when viewed therethrough. The tubes are mounted in the level by being secured by screws and spigots to a cover-plate at one side of the web 11, a spring washer being interposed between the level and the cover-plate so that the position of the tube relative to the web 11 may be set to the desired position. The cover-plates are mounted by screws to the level body there being sufficient clearance between the screws and the mounting holes in the cover-plates to allow the tubes to be set correctly relative to the faces 14, The screws once set are prevented from moving by adhesive, and a futher cover-plate is fixed to the other side of the web. As an alternative to the I- section body described, hardwood or tubular metal may be used.
