Title: Improvements in or relating to the surface treatment of aluminum and aluminum alloys
IPC: C25D11/24
Filed: 1962-03-15
Abstract: 926,418. Treatment of anodized aluminium and its alloys; alkali-resistance. R. SIMON. March 15, 1962 [March 15, 1961], No. 10035/62. Class 41. Articles of aluminium and its alloys which have been electrolytically oxidized are given alkali-resistant and hard surfaces by treating as by immersion with a hot dilute aqueous solution of an alkali silicate containing a surface-active agent. The solution contains 0.1-3.0% by wt. of alkali silicate, said silicate having a Me 2 O/ SiO 2  ratio of 3.6-3.9, and is kept above 50‹ C. for immersion periods of at least 5 minutes; it also contains 0.01 to 1.0% by wt. of surfaceactive agent. Preferably articles are immersed for 15-25 minutes at 90-100‹ C. in a 0.3- 1.0% by wt. alkali silicate solution, said silicate having a ratio of 3.8. If the treated articles are to be subsequently shaped the elasticity of the surface is improved by additions of a polyalcohol, preferably sorbitol, to the solution in amounts of 0.01-1.0%. The presence of a wetting-agent may cause foaming at the surface of the hot bath and result in haze formation on the metal surface: this is overcome by the addition of 0.001 to 0.10 wt. per cent of a foam depressor to the solution. The preferred alkali silicate is high-silica sodium silicate commercially available as a 25-30% aqueous solution. Articles may be transferred from the electrolytic anodic oxidation treatment directly into the solution of the invention or subjected to an intermediate rinsing with cold water. If the surface formed by anodizing and further improved by the invention are intended to be dyed with organic dyes the articles are preferably subjected to a post-compaction with boiling water or steam after the anodizing and rinsing. After treatment by the method of the invention articles should be rinsed with cold water or, preferably, by immersion in a solution having the same composition as that of the invention but at a lower temperature, namely between 10-10‹ C., e.g. room temperature. Rinsing by immersion is for not more than a few minutes, e.g. 1 minute. The articles are then dried at temperatures up to 110‹ C., preferably at about 100‹ C. Suitable surface-active agents include various emulsifiers and wetting agents, e.g. dodecyl benzene sulphonate, oxethylated fatty alcohols, alkyl naphthalene sulphonates. Suitable foam depressors are octyl alcohol, sorbitol monolaureate, castor oil.

Title: Improvements in or relating to folding supports
Inventor: PEARSON THOMAS
IPC: D06F57/08
Filed: 1959-03-24
Abstract: 911,702. Garment stands. SMITH BROS. (WIREWARES) Ltd. March 22, 1960 [March 24, 1959], No. 10082/59. Classes 52 (3) and 53 (5). [Also in Group XXV] A folding support comprises at least two wire or like material frames, each of which has at one end a pair of horns 15 projecting away from the frame in opposite directions, each horn comprising a stem portion extending from the frame and an end portion cranked relative to the stem portion, the arrangement being that two frames may be placed in end to end abutment (Fig. 3) with their planes substantially parallel to one another and then hingedly connected together by means of loops 17 passed over the end portions of respective pairs of horns on the two frames and thence located around the stem portions so that the loops may not be removed when the frames are hingedly moved relative to one another (Fig. 2). As shown, the end portions of the horns on each frame lie in a common plane substantially perpendicular to the plane of the frame upon which they are mounted so that when two frames are placed in end to end abutment with their planes substantially parallel to one another (Fig. 3) the end portions of respective pairs of horns on the two frames will lie parallel to one another. The frames may be coated with resilient plastics material and the interior diameter of the loop 17 may be slightly less in diameter than the combined thickness of each two horns, so that the resilience of the plastics material will prevent play developing at the hinge. The frames, which may be used to air clothes, are ladder-like and the bottom rung 12 (Fig. 1) of each frame extends beyond the side members 10 to provide cranked portions 13 which may be used to support the frames on a bath. A tie-rod 18 having eyed ends 19 may be detachably engaged with the cranked ends 13 at one side of the frames.

Abstract: 212,441. Vox Maschinen-Akt.-Ges., and Vogelsang, W. April 14, 1023. Strip-controlled driving-mechanism.-A stripcontrolled type-setting element for typewriters, type-printing telegraphs, statistical machines, &c., comprises a reciprocating pawl 102, Fig. 4, which travels under a rack 101 connected to the type-carrier, the pawl being normally out of contact with the rack and supported on a track consisting of vertically adjustable sections I - - V adapted to be raised independently under the influence of the perforated card, so as to put the pawl into engagement with the rack and produce a movement of the latter equal to the combined lengths of the raised track sections. The perforations of the' strip are arranged in longitudinal rows and grouped transversely to the rows, each row being assigned a certain numerical value, so that the added values of each group of apertures will be equal to the numerical position occupied by the corresponding type sign in a range of such signs. In a preferred arrangement, Fig. 5, the numerical values assigned to the rows of perforations I - - -V are in geometrical progression with a constant ratio of 2, the lengths of the bars I - - V forming the pawl track being in the same ratio. If, for example, the letters of the alphabet are numbered consecutively 1 - - 25, j being omitted, n will have the value 13 and will be represented by a perforation in rows I, III, and IV. These perforations, through suitable electrical or mechanical means, raise the corresponding sections of the pawl-supporting track and the rack 101 is advanced by thirteen teeth, bring- ing the letter n to the printing position at E. In a rotary machine, the rows being circular, the values would be expressed in angles instead of lengths.
