Title: Improvements in and relating to machine made papers having a loft-dried effect
IPC: D21F5/04
Filed: 1948-08-10
Abstract: 647,182. Drying paper. FRANKEL, T. H., and BRIDGEND PAPER MILLS, Ltd. Aug. 10, 1948, No. 21085. [Class 96] Paper, e.g. absorbent tissue paper, from a dryer section A may be moistened by rollers B and is finally dried at a section C with no dryer felts, the various rolls of the section C being run at speeds such as to allow a cockle effect to develop in the dried web which is reeled at E. Rollers D take up slack and prevent reeling tension being communicated to the web in the section C. Glycerine &c. may be used to enhance the cockle effect, and medicaments may be added. Hot air may be blown on to the web at the section C. The product may be used for writing, printing, toilet, or as manifold paper.

Abstract: 614,500. Regulating fluid-flow. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd. July 16, 1946, No. 21300. Convention date, July 18, 1945. [Class 135] [Also in Group XIII] The flow of liquid refrigerant in a compression refrigerating machine is controlled by a capillary tube, blockage of which by the freezing of traces of water in the system is overcome by increasing the tube bore where the refrigerant temperature is less than 32 F. The condenser 9 of the refrigerating machine is connected by a capillary tube 11, 14 with an evaporator 3. The bore of the coiled section 14 is greater than that of the section 11 and their relative lengths are such that the fall in temperature of the refrigerant below 32 F. takes place only in the section 14. In modifications (not shown), the part 14 may be replaced by parts 16, 17, the parts 11, 16, 17 being of successively increasing bore or the part 14 may continuously increase in bore from the part 11 to the evaporator 3.

A device for adjusting a part 1 relatively to a base 6 comprises an element 3 carrying the part I eccentrically, and rotatable in an eccentric bore in an element 5 which is rotatable in the base 6. As applied to drilling jigs which may be held against the work by permanent magnets or an electromagnet in which the windings 28 are contained within the base 6, the guide-bush 1 for the drill is received in the bore of the eccentric 3, which is located in the jig by a screwthreaded ring 13. The inner and outer surfaces of the outer eccentric 5 are of conical form to enable locking of the eccentrics by pressure of a screw-threaded ring 15 against the eccentric 5. The eccentrics are adjusted by upstanding lugs 25, 18 on rings 24, 17 secured to the eccentrics, and the clamping-ring 15 is turned by a ring 26 which, upon releasing the clamping-pressure on eccentric 5, engages the lug 25, thus raising and freeing the eccentrics. The latter and rings 13, 15 are made of non-magnetic material, and rings 24, 26 are force-fits on the eccentric 3 and ring 15 respectively. Eccentric 5 is split at one point to facilitate adjustment, and provided with pins 22 on which ring 17 is located and clamped by a screw 19. Optical apparatus for observing work.-During centring of the axis of the bore of eccentric 3 on a point on the work, the bush is replaced in the bore by a sighting-device, Fig. 11, having crossed-lines viewed through a lens 9 illuminated by a lamp 11.

Filed: 1926-09-03
Abstract: 277,482. Marks, E. C. R., (Combination Selector Co., Inc.). Sept. 3, 1926. Addressing and like machines.-An addressing or other recording machine is provided with mechanism for recording selectively from a series of address-printing plates or other record members maintained in sequential order, the record members being provided with data representations, such as profiled edges or perforations, and the selecting-mechanism comprising one or more feeler members adapted to be positioned by the data representations in several positions for co-operation with a perforated control member, appropriate to the selection desired, and adapted to control the operation of the recording-mechanism. For example, twentyfour data representations may be spaced along the edges of the record members for co-operation with twenty-four feelers, each movable into three angular positions determined by the dimensions of the data representations, for co-operation with perforations located in three rows in the control member. The data representations may be provided on separate tabs or an equivalent signal tab member attached in slots in the record member. The mechanism is shown in Fig. 2 as an attachment in a housing 25 secured by lugs and screws to an addressing-machine provided with a platen 4 on a hand-operated lever 2, and a carriage 10 and dogs 11 for feeding address plates 12 from a magazine 22 to printing position under an ink ribbon 13, and delivering the plates to a second magazine. The feelers consist of pivoted levers 30 provided at one end with two projections 81, 82, Fig. 4, of different lengths, for co-operation with the data representations on the address plates 12, and at the other end with a pin 103 for cooperation with a perforated control card 101 supported in a holder 38 pivoted on a rod 35. The feeler levers 30 are connected by springs 52 to a frame 33 pivoted on the rod 35, and are normally tripped by the action of the springs. The frame 33 is connected to the lever 2 by toggles 43, 44, Fig. 2, so that, when the lever 2 is depressed. the frame 33 is swung outwards and the feeler levers are brought into engagement with the data representations on the plate 12 in printing position. At the same time the frame 33, through a spring connection 49, Fig. 4, pulls the holder 38 forward against the pins 103, and if .the control card 101 and pins 103 permit, the holder 38 advances far enough to set a slide 60 Fig. 2, normally obstructing a plunger 65 preventing full depression of the lever 2, so that a hole in the slide is brought under the plunger 65 to permit the recording operation; or the slide 60 can be adjusted so that recording is normally permitted and selectively prevented. A paper strip 14 on which the record is printed is advanced by means of feed-rollers 71 and a pawl 75, Fig. 4, actuated by the movement of the holder 38.

In a vacuum deposition apparatus a wire such as Al or ceramic which may be the substrate of the coating material is fed into the vapour source crucible through a guide passage in the crucible wall and the guide passage is heated to prevent accumulation of condensed vapour in the passage. The crucible preferably rotates about an axis passing through the passage and a flow of inert gas such as argon may also be passed through the passage into the crucible. As shown in Figures 1 and 3 a crucible 11 coated by coulant flowing in annular chamber 18 has an open end through which the vapour produced by heating by electron beam gun 59 passes to the substrate. The crucible is made of copper lined with tungston 56 and a layer of zirconia 57. The closed end wall 14 of the crucible has an opening 13 through which the crucible is attached to a drive shaft 16. The wire enters the crucible through a guide 12 inserted in opening 13, the guide being a mixture of T1B 2  and BN. The wire passes through passages 63, 64 and 15 in a fitting 23, graphite block 62 and guide 12, through the centre of the hollow drive shaft 16. The wire is supplied from roll 95, a straightening device 93, capstan 91 and roll 92. The refractory guide 12 is heated above the melting temperature of the wire by the electron beam and control is effected by control of the electron beam, wire feed speed and cooling of the block containing the wire guide. Argon may be introduced into the wire guide passage at 87. The embodiment of Fig. 6 (not shown) discloses a similar apparatus in which the wire is the substrate which is coated by the vapour produced in the crucible. The apparatus may also incorporate more than one rotating source crucible and the substrate may be a glass.
