Title: Improvements in and relating to building construction systems and to blocks, bricks,tiles and the like used therein
IPC: E04B2/74
Filed: 1934-07-25
Abstract: 442,286. Walls ; blocks ; tiles. BUTTERWORTH, J., 43, Harrington Avenue, Blackpool, and PEARSON, R. T., 58A, Brougham Street, Preston, Lancashire. July 25, 1934, No. 21716. [Classes 20 (iv) and 87 (i)] A wall comprises courses of blocks, bricks, or tiles having one or more triangular grooves 5 along their edges, and the adjacent edges of certain of the blocks, bricks or tiles are spaced apart by the provision between such edges of wood lengths, or rods or tubes. In the case of wood lengths, these serve to form a hold for nails or like fastenings. The blocks may be hollow as shown in Fig. 1 and provided with a V-shaped groove 5 extending around all the edges. Normally, the blocks are laid with the flat faces 6 of the edges in contact and the grooves 5 are filled with cement. Where the wall requires stiffening or the provision of nailing strips, the channel formed by adjacent grooves 5 is filled with a wood length 7 of square section as shown in Fig. 3, such member being sufficiently wide to separate the adjacent faces 6 and provide spaces for mortar or cement which is finished flush with the wall face. The wood member may be of sufficient size to project at each side of the wall to an extent equal to the depth of the subsequently-applied plaster as shown at 8, Fig. 3. A still larger size of wood member as shown at 9,Fig. 3,provides projecting portions adapted to engage the grooves in the ends of the blocks of abutting walls. Alternatively, the end blocks of an abutting wall 11, Fig. 3, engage a triangular piece 10 which is nailed to the wood length 7. Horizontal pieces of wood may be inserted between the courses of blocks. For tiles secured to walls, thin pieces of wood or rods are inserted in the channels formed by the V-shaped grooves of adjacent tiles. The Provisional Specification describes also the formation of grooves of other than triangular cross-section in the edges of the blocks &c. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to British Specification 237,975, [Class 20 (iv)], and to U.S.A. Specifications 1,866,129 and 1,913,638.

The compounds of Formula I in which Z represents the group -SO 3 M are prepared by the sequential condensation of the corresponding amines and hydroxy compounds with cyanuric chloride in the stoichiometric molar proportions. Compounds of Formula I in which Z is other than -SO 3 M are obtained from the latter by (i) hydrolysing in an aqueous acidic alcoholic medium to give the corresponding mercapto derivative (Z=M), (ii) reaction with CH 2 O/HCl to give the corresponding thiazolidine (Z + R = -CH 2 -), or (iii) heating with a water-soluble sulphide to yield the corresponding polydisulphide (Z is a bond to another S atom in the molecule). The conversion of the mercapto derivatives to the corresponding polydisulphides is also achieved by oxidation. Examples prepare compounds of Formula I in which X is an anilino group optionally substituted by 1 or 2 -SO 3 Na groups, or X is a morpholino, methylamino, diethanolamino, methoxy, phenoxy, -Cl or group. The compounds of Formula I are optical brighteners for organic materials, e.g. natural or regnerated cellulose, polyamide or polyurethane.

Filed: 1952-09-02
Abstract: 731,079. Feeding webs. CAMERON MACHINE CO. Sept. 2, 1952 [June 12, 1952], No. 22053/52. Class 100 (1). In a method of converting a strip of flexible web material on one roll into a plurality of various strips on another roll, the strip is slitted to form a transverse series of narrower strips, and then drawn under tension on to the other roll, successive members of said series being subjected to friction at progressively increasing angles to the line of movement of the narrower strips prior to reaching the other roll. The cylinder 20, Figs. 1 and 6. has a smooth surface and is provided with two helical feeding zones 21, 22 consisting of rubber or like material having a high coefficient of friction, or in the form of helical grooves. A web 25 is slit at 27 into sections 28, passed partly round the surface of the cylinder 20 and then to surface winding drum 31, 30 and a winding shaft 29. The surface of the cylinder 20 is caused to move at a different speed from that of the web sections 28 by means of a brake X or by means of a separate positive drive, or by using the cylinder in place of the drum 31 and allowing it to be freely rotated by the shaft 29, whereas a positive drive is applied to the drum 30. The cylinder 20 can be arranged to cause an inward instead of an outward bulge in the slitted sections. The cutter 27 may co-operate directly with the drum 30, so that the web passes between the drum and the cutter, and the sections pass round the cylinder and again over part of the drum. A top pressure roller may rest on top of the slitted sections on top of the shaft 29, and this roller may be constructed similarly to the cylinder 20.
