Abstract: 1,245,881. Laminates. IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. 28 April, 1970 [13 May, 1969], No. 24271/69. Heading B5N. [Also in Divisions B1-B2] A method of making laminated articles comprising a layer of plastic or resinous foam sandwiched between two outer layers of facing material comprises (1) laying a first series of the panels in lengthwise succession alternating the separating members which extend across the full width of the panels and the neighbouring edges of each pair of panels in abutment with a said member, the separating members being located initially so that their upper surfaces are coplanar with the upper surfaces of the panels, (2) continuously conveying the succession of panels and separating members, (3) applying to the upper surfaces a layer of foam-forming ingredients, (4) when the layer has been conveyed beyond the region of application, lifting the separating member successively in relation to the said layer so that the upper surface of each member rises through a distance at least equal to the ultimate thickness of the layer when fully expanded, (5) laying a second series of said panels in lengthwise succession and continuously conveying the same so that each such panel lies over and in vertical register with a panel in the first series, (6) continuously bring- ing the second series of panels successively into contact with the upper surface of the layer of foam-forming ingredients either prior to, simultaneously with or subsequently to the carrying out of step (4), and (7) conveying the two series of panels in substantially parallel disposition whilst securing the foam layer, optionally using heat. In the apparatus shown, a succession of panels 12 is transported upon an inclined endless conveyer 13 provided with a series of lugs 14 of a similar thickness to that of the separating members 3. The conveyer 13 is driven in synchronism with a lower conveyer 1 in such a way that the action of the lugs 14 keeps the upper panels 12 in vertical register with the lower panels 2. Once each upper panel reaches the lower end of the conveyer 13 it falls into contact with the upper surface of the layer of polyurethane foam-forming ingredients 5 and the state of the latter has already expanded to a considerable extent and the separating members 3 have been fully lifted by means of the cam surfaces 6.

Title: Method and device for lacing a running yarn around a reel
Inventor: ATKINS ARTHUR AMBROSE
IPC: B65H51/20
Filed: 1964-06-15
Abstract: A running yarn is laced around the back roller of a draw-twister by threading a tube onto the yarn in advance of the roller, pulling the yarn past the roller to a receiving point, e.g. a reel, guide eye, spindle or a yarn receiving suction conduit, and then manually gripping the tube and using it to loop the yarn in one or more turns around the roller.  The tube may have a completely closed wall, in which case it is threaded on the yarn during the original threading-up of the machine and a stationary guide eye through which the yarn is passed may support the tube with the yarn running therethrough when it is not required for lacing, or it may have a split wall which is threaded laterally onto the running yarn and removed after lacing, and it may have a ceramic eyelet at each end.

Abstract: 393,567. Wheels for vehicles. MICHELIN ET CIE, Clermont Ferrand, Puy de Dome, France. Sept. 3, 1931, No. 24779. Convention date, Sept. 4, 1930. Void [Published under Sect. 91 of the Acts]. [Classes 144 (i) and 144 (ii).] A wheel for use with pneumatic or like tyres comprises a hub adapted directly to support the tyre. In the construction shown in Fig. 1, the hub 3 is longitudinally fluted to receive detachable collars 4 provided with flanges 5. These flanges are formed with radial bosses or grooves to engage corresponding parts on the wheel tyre. The outer flange 5 is held on the hub by means of a locking piece 8 in two semicircular parts located in an annular groove 7 formed in the hub. A cap 9 fits over the locking piece and is secured in position by a nut 10. In the construction shown in Figs. 5 and 7, the extension 7 of the hub is formed with L-shaped slots adapted to be engaged by teeth 15 on a locking ring 8. Recesses on the flange 5 correspond to the teeth 15. The flange is placed on the hub when the tyre is in position, and is pressed inwardly while the ring 8 engages the slots by an inward movement followed by a slight rotative movement. Release of the flange causes the recesses therein to engage the teeth 15 whereby it is locked in place. In a modification, shown in Figs. 13, 15, and 16, the hub extension is grooved as shown at 7, Fig. 16, so that when the locking ring 8 provided with teeth 15 is pressed inwardly and slightly rotated the teeth 15 engage recesses 20. The ring 8 is also provided with teeth 21 for engagement with recesses 22 in the flange 5. In the construction shown in Figs. 17 and 18, the flange 23 is in two parts formed with lugs 24 for engagement in recesses in the hub 3. In a modification the flange 23 is in one piece with teeth engaging recesses in the hub of similar form to those shown at 20 in Fig. 16. Fig. 22 shows a construction in which the flange 5 is of sheet metal looped, as shown at 29, to give resilience, and held in place by a split locking ring 30. In a modification the locking ring is in two parts seated in an annular groove in the hub, being prevented from withdrawal by an annular housing formed on the outer end of the flange 5. Two detachable flanges 5 are shown in Fig. 26, the outer flange being formed with a portion 33 adapted to co-operate with a cone-shaped nut 34. In the modification shown in Fig. 28, the hub 3 is formed with a turned-in periphery 35 in which are secured screwed pins 36. The flange 5 is formed with ears 37 to engage with the pins and is held in place by nuts 38.
