IPC: D06P3/60
Filed: 1941-09-01
Abstract: 551,693. Dyeing and pigmenting textiles. CALICO PRINTERS' ASSOCIATION, Ltd., INGHAM, J. S., MILLER, W. S., and BURAWOY, A. Sept. 1. 1941. No. 11144. [Classes 2 (iii)'and 15 (ii)] The fixation on cellulosic textile materials of dyestuffs or pigments which have no affinity for such materials, or of dyestuffs which normally yield dyeings thereon of poor to moderate fastness to washing, is effected by the formation on the materials of a ketone-formaldehyde resin, whereby dyeings fast to washing are obtained. The materials may be impregnated with a ketone-formaldehyde resin precondensate in presence of alkali, e.g. sodium, potassium, calcium or barium hydroxide or sodium or potassium carbonate, dried, heated to form the water-insoluble resin, and thereafter dyed or printed and steamed to fix the print. Alternatively, the dyestuff may be applied prior to, or the dyestuff or pigment may be applied together with, the precondensate and the materials thereafter dried and steamed or otherwise heated. Specified ketones are acetone, methyl-ethyl ketone, cyclohexanone and diacetone alcohol. Direct, acid, basic or mordant dyes (without mordant), water-insoluble dyes which have a good affinity for cellulose acetate fibres and coloured or white organic or inorganic pigments may be used. In examples, (1) a cotton fabric is printed with an aqueous paste containing Chlorazol fast pink BK, glycerol and carragheen moss thickening and the print is dried, steamed, impregnated with an aqueous liquor containing sodium carbonate and an acetone-formaldehyde precondensate, dried, heated for 1 minute at 150‹C., lightly soaped, rinsed and dried ; (2) a viscose crepe fabric is impregnated with an aqueous liquor containing sodium carbonate and a precondensate as in (1.), dried, heated as in (1), washed, dried, printed with an aqueous paste containing Victoria blue R, glycerol and gum tragacanth thickening, dried, steamed and washed ; .

Title: Rotating discharge sprinkler with rotating deflectors
IPC: B05B3/04
Filed: 1978-03-21
Abstract: A stream rotor sprinkler having a rotatable nozzle assembly for discharging a stream of fluid, and a rotatable plurality of deflectors mounted to the sprinkler surrounding the nozzle assembly. A water-driven motor impeller is activated by fluid flow through the sprinkler and rotates an attached rotor. The nozzle assembly is integrally attached to the rotor and is rotated thereby. The nozzle assembly includes an annular skirt at its lower end; the deflectors also have an integrally attached annular skirt which is in horizontal concentric relationship with the nozzle assembly skirt. A transmission is mounted to the sprinkler so as to be positioned between the deflector skirt and the nozzle assembly skirt. The transmission is driven by the rotation of the nozzle assembly skirt and in turn rotates the deflector skirt. The nozzle assembly rotates at an angular velocity different than the angular velocity of the deflectors so that the deflectors are not in the same position when the nozzle returns to a given position so that the circumferential coverage of fluid is substantially uniform.

Title: Improvements in or relating to assembly for a hypodermic injector
IPC: A61M5/24
Filed: 1955-04-21
Abstract: 768,432. Hypodermic injection appliances. SCHERER CORPORATION, R. P. April 21, 1955 [July 12, 1954], No. 11524/55. Class 81(2) In a needleless hypodermic injector the initial part of the expulsion of medicament is performed under increased pressure by a force-multiplying means and, in the forms described, the said means comprises either cams or levers. Power for operation of the appliance is obtained by winding a disc 66 up a screw 61 against power springs 64 and then releasing both disc and spring as a unit by withdrawing a latch 83. As a central pin 52 is driven down, cam surfaces 54 force triangular blocks 47 outwards and these, by riding on inclined surfaces 49, are forced downwards, thrusting the plunger 40 down with increased force until the foot 66 of the driving assembly engages the plate 43, whereupon the thrust of the springs 64 acts directly on the plunger through this plate and the blocks 47. In a modified form, see Fig. 4 (not shown), the triangular blocks are replaced by spherical balls. A third form is also described, Fig. 5, in which the central screw bears on the inner ends of segmental, arcuate levers 104, the outer ends 110 of which bear against fixed pillars 90a as fulcrums. By this means the plunger head 102 is driven down with an initially increased force which gradually diminishes as the levers roll on the surface 101 until finally the thrust plate 66 bears on the levers and the assembly moves as a unit.

The cans are led by a conveyer to a rotary table upon which they are capped ; they are then carried to a second rotary table whereon the caps are sealed by means of longitudinally-movable mandrels working in conjunction with rollers carried by levers on rotary sleeves co-axial with the mandrel, and finally led away by a second conveyer. The frame 11 carries supports upon which are mounted annular cams 26, 27 which actuate levers 81, 88 pivoted to supports 80, 87 carried by a rotary disk 28 and which operate the crimping units carried thereby. Power is transmitted to a shaft 13 which rotates, through worm-gearing, a shaft 17 carrying wheels 19, 18, and, through wheels 20, 21, a shaft 22 carrying the disk 28. A sleeve on shaft 21 rotated by wheels 30, 31 carries a wheel 33 which rotates in the opposite direction to the shaft 22. A wheel 34 on the hub of wheel 30 is driven by the wheel 18 and carries a disk 35 with a number of semicircular recesses and engages a wheel 36 carrying a disk 37 similar to 35 and rotatable with a shaft 38 geared to a shaft 41 provided with a pulley 43 which transmits motion to a shaft 46 which rotates the hopper 65 and carries a wheel 48 which through belt-gearing 49 rotates a shaft 51 actuating the can conveyer 53, Fig. 3. The caps are engaged by spring-pressed fingers 61, Fig. 1, having limited movement and carried by a disk 60 rotated by bevel-gearing by a shaft 55, Fig. 3, geared to the wheel 36. The hopper 65 is fed from a shoot 69 and) has equidistant studs 66 to separate the caps and hold the parts of the hopper together. A gravity tooth 68, Fig. 9, clears any cap that might have stuck between the studs. The interior of the guideway is shaped to ensure the presentation of the concave face of the disk. A tappet-actuated spring-pressed pin 73 allows caps to fall one at a time to engage a retaining- pin 71. The crimping-wheel 108, Fig. 4, is carried by an adjustable post 104 on a lever 103 pivoted at the centre to a sleeve 93 and at the ends to links 102 carried by a bracket 99 secured to a sleeve 94 rotated by wheels 33, 97 and carried by the disk 28 which also carries the levers 81, 88 engaging the cams 26, 27. The lever 81 actuates a mandrel 83 which has a reduced conical end 84 which enters the cavity in the cap. The lever 88 actuates the sleeve 94 to bring the wheel 108 into action. The filled cans are fed by a belt 53, Fig. 3, to recesses in the disk 37 and retained by a guide 110 until they pass to recesses in disk 35. When the can is moved to the two adjacent recesses in the disks 35, 37, it is engaged by the mandrel 83 and thereafter moves on disk 35. When the caps are secured, the cans are finally led away by guide 112 to the second conveyer.
