Abstract: 566,990. Hooks. GUTHRIE, C. G. July 15, 1943, No. 11504. [Class 89 (ii)] A hook has a mousing member mounted on an eccentric or crank, and is particularly intended for use in lowering boats from davits. Links 10, Fig. 2, extend, and are connected to, the keel, one at each end of the boat and they are arranged so that the openings in the hooks face outboard. The body of the hook is slotted at 19, Fig. 4, forming side cheeks 20, 21, in which bushes 39 are journalled, the bushes and eccentric 22 having a hexagonal bore to receive a hexagonal spindle on which is keyed an operating handle 28 and a cupped washer 26. The cheeks are curved at 18 and the eccentric sheaf is curved at 41 to suit the rings 32 that terminate the falls. Lubrication is provided for at 40. The opening in the hook is shaped so that the ring disengages as soon as permitted by release of the mousing which is in the form of a tangential projection 29 from the sheaf that engages behind a projection 30. The handle 28 has a hole 33 in line with a hole in the body of the hook in the position shown in full lines in Fig. 2 and a pin may be inserted in these holes to lock the parts in the moused position. Stops 38 limit the movement of the handle to define the two positions. Automatic opening when the boat becomes water-borne may be provided by a spring 35 connected at one end to the spindle and at the other to the body of the hook. The spring is stressed when the mousing is in closed position and the weight of the boat prevents rotation of the eccentric till the boat becomes water-borne. In the closed position the centre of the eccentric is on the centre line of the hook so that there is no tendency for the eccentric to rotate under load. The eccentric may be cut away to facilitate movement. The spring may be arranged to be stressed when the mousing is in the open position.

Filed: 1961-03-30
Abstract: <PICT:0931462/IV(a)/1> <PICT:0931462/IV(a)/2> <PICT:0931462/IV(a)/3> A process for cleaning cloth prior to bleaching and/or dyeing, comprises impregnating the cloth with caustic alkali solution, winding the impregnated cloth on to a perforated drum rotatable about its longitudinal axis, heating the impregnated cloth by p  passing steam into the drum and through the perforations thereof into the cloth, whilst rotating the drum slowly, then washing the caustic alkali from the woundup cloth by passing boiling water into the drum whilst rotating the drum rapidly.  The caustic alkali solution may be of a strength of from 1 to 5 DEG  B<\>e and it may contain other textile auxiliary agents.  In carrying out the process cloth 1 is first passed in loop form through trough 3 (Fig. 1), containing dilute caustic soda solution and after passing through squeeze rollers 4 is wound up on perforated drum 5.  After the cloth is wound on drum 5 steam is led through pipe 11 (Fig. 3) into drum 5 and thence through the perforations into the cloth, whilst the drum is rotated at about 15 r.p.m.  The lower half of the drum is surrounded by a trough 12 to collect the condensate.  After this a cover is placed over the top half of the drum and boiling water is led into the drum through pipe 11 whilst the drum is rotated at between 50 and 300 r.p.m. depending on the thickness of material on the drum.  The cloth may be finally rinsed by passing in loop form through a washing trough.  The perforated drum (Fig. 2) comprises a perforated hollow shaft 6 and an outer perforated drum jacket on which the cloth is wound. The perforations of the jacket may be covered at the ends, e.g. by a rubber sleeve for a short distance beneath the edge of the cloth.

In order to measure the specific fuel consumption of a motor vehicle in relation to the distance travelled, the volume of fuel fed to the engine, while a vehicle wheel drives a roller of a test stand a number of revolutions pre-set on a counter 3, is indicated by the fall in level of fuel in a calibrated measuring glass 6, the engine receiving fuel from the glass 6 through a pipe 14 while a valve 12 is open and, when the level has fallen to a zero mark, a switch 19 starting the counter 3 which, upon counting the pre-set number of revolutions, closes the valve 12. Initially, with a main switch 28 set to a "travel" position, the valve 12 is closed, a valve 13 is open and the switch 19 closed, the vehicle fuel pump receives fuel from a reservoir and a pump 21 supplies the glass 6 through a one-way valve 25 until the level rises above the zero mark and the float switch stops the pump 21. When a desired speed is reached, the main switch is moved to a "measure" position to close valve 13 and open valve 12 and the consumption is read after the counter 3 closes the valve 12. Returning the main switch 28 to "travel" opens valve 13, starts pump 21 and resets the counter 3. The by-pass and pump 21 are omitted in the modification of Fig. 2.
