Title: Fishing device
IPC: A01K93/00
Filed: 1944-05-21
Abstract: 574,630. Fishing. GRICE, J. B. G. May 21, 1944, No. 7454. [Class 481 A float 25, attached to a fishing line 23, is kept in one position, despite the movement of the stream, by means of a second, weighted float 10 which is connected by a swivel 18 with a second line 17. This avoids. the need to re-cast the float 25 due to the drift of the latter. The line 17 passes through a ring 19, or both rings 19, 20, of a lead weight 21 which anchors the float 10. When a fish bites, the pull on the line causes the latter to free itself from the float 10 by tipping up a swivelled portion 14, or if the projections are solid with the float, by submerging the float. The float may be wholly or partly of wood, may contain a flat metal plate between two portions of wood or may be hollow and made of synthetic resin. Dimensions for the float 10 are given in the Provisional and Complete Specifications.

Title: Improvements relating to the manufacture of concrete pipes, particularly for artificial rain installations
IPC: B28B21/44
Filed: 1925-03-23
Abstract: 248,576. Horten, A. March 23. 1925. Moulding pipes and tubes. - A concrete pipe with a metal reinforcement is made by placing a reinforcement e.g. of coiled steel wire and Rabitz netting on a former 12, Fig. 1, rotated by spur wheels 14 and spraying concrete on the outside of the former either by a centrifuging rotor 11 to which concrete is fed from a tapered extrusion cylinder 10 or by a compressed air spraying apparatus as shown in Fig. 2, the spraying apparatus being moved along the length of the former. Surplus concrete is removed by a wire scraper 15. The pipe ends are made in the expanded form shown in Fig. 4 by placing a ring 19 round the former the ring being either left in the pipe or being formed divided so that it can be withdrawn. A groove to contain packing may be formed by the use of a removable divided ring 18, or a shell of sheet metal may be inserted in the ring and left embedded for this purpose. One type of former consists of four sectors 20, Fig. 5, separated by gaps and held together between four-pointed star wedges 21 by a tie rod 22, the gaps between the sectors being covered by sheet material 24. The former may first be covered with a layer of concrete which when hardened is covered with reinforcement after which another layer of concrete is put on. The reinforcement 25 may be spaced by projecting pieces laid on the former or by small concrete fillets which remain in the pipe wall. Another type of former consists of a slightly tapered iron tube 26, Fig. 7, with pierced end plates 27, 27<1> to which the end-forming rings 23, 23<1> are attached by screws 28. When the pipe is formed the tube is drawn out from the wider end, the process being assisted if necessary by heating the whole and then suddenly cooling as by immersion in water. The edges of the pipe are strengthened by continuous or divided iron rings 29, Fig. 8, with lugs to ensure firm attachment. The pipe end is smoothed by a blanking disc 23.

Title: Process for producing fast dyeings on animal or synthetic fibres or mixtures thereof
IPC: C09B45/14
Filed: 1955-03-17
Abstract: Fast dyeings are produced on animal or synthetic fibres or on mixtures thereof by applying, from a neutral or acid bath, a highly dispersed aqueous suspension of an azo dyestuff which is insoluble or sparingly soluble in a neutral or acid medium and contains in o : o1-position to the azo bridge a grouping capable of being metallized, and converting the azo dyestuff into a complex metal compound by treatment, during or after the dyeing operation, with an agent yielding metal, e.g. a compound of chromium, cobalt or nickel. Examples 1-19 describe the preparation of fine aqueous suspensions of numerous azo dyestuffs which are employed for dyeing wool from a weakly acid bath in the presence of chromium salts or by the metachrome or single-bath chroming process.  The suspensions are made by grinding the dyestuff in the form of a paste with one or more of the following dispersing agents followed by diluting with water: the condensation product from cresol, formaldehyde, 2-hydroxynaphthalene-6-sulphonic acid and sodium sulphite; the condensation product of ethylene oxide with oleyl alcohol or octadecane-diol or an alkyl phenol; polyglycol; benzyl naphthalene sulphonic acid; and the sodium salt of dibutyl naphthalene sulphonic acid.  The ground paste may be frozen and the water sublimed to yield a fine powder.  Other examples describe the dyeing of wool, silk, polyamide and polyacrylonitrile - chlormethyl - vinyl - ether fibres employing as the agent yielding metal in the dyebath nickel sulphate, cobalt sulphate, sodium chromate, sodium or potassium pyrochromate and sodium or potassium chromosalicylate.  In one case, wool is after chromed with sodium or potassium chromosalicylate.  Specifications 601,347, 671,243 and 690,600 are referred to.

Abstract: 413,812. Cathode - ray tubes. FERNSEH AKT.-GES., Goerzallee, Zehlendorf, Berlin. March 16, 1933, No. 7985. Convention date, March 16, 1932. [Class 39 (i).] A concentrating or modulating electrode is so arranged between the incandescent cathode and the anode of a high-vacuum or other cathode-ray tube for television &c. that the light emitted by the cathode is prevented from reading the viewing screen of the tube. The electrode may comprise a wire 3 parallel and near the filamentary cathode 2 to intercept the light rays that would otherwise pass through the aperture 5 in the anode 4. The wire 3 is given a position potential relatively to the cathode 2 to modify the field as indicated and so concentrate the electrons on the aperture 5. To modulate the intensity of the cathode ray and so of the fluorescent spot, the potential of the electrode 3 may be varied, the electrode 3 being so biassed that the ray intensity varies linearly with the control potential. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also a reference to the use of the electrode for dispersing the space-charge when the current is unsaturated. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
