Patent GB-189973-A (GB)
Title: Improved manufacture of hollow textile fibres
IPC: D03D3/00
Filed: 1921-11-15
Abstract: Hollow artificial textile fibres are made by spinning solutions such as cellulose acetate, collodion, viscose, cupro-ammonia cellulose, and gelatin containing air or other fluid maintained in a dissolved state by pressure, and producing an emission of bubbles within the fibre upon, or subsequent to, its issue from the draw-plate by releasing the pressure, or by the action of heat.  Alternatively a body such as a carbonate, gasoline, or carbon bisulphide, capable of emitting gaseous bubbles by chemical or thermal action may be incorporated with the solution to be spun.

Title: Improvements relating to the manufacture of fibre boards and like products
IPC: D21J1/08
Filed: 1933-11-04
Abstract: Hard fibre boards &c. are made by consolidating by pressure and heat, a mass of self-bonding vegetable fibre containing a drying oil &c., in amount less than half that necessary to saturate the consolidated mass, heating being in the presence of oxygen, e.g. of the air.  The board may be made to 1/8 inch thick by compression for 15-20 mins. at 200 lbs. per sq. inch between press platens, one of which is of chromium-plated steel, the other having interposed a wire screen to facilitate escape of moisture.  The fibre may be obtained from hard or soft woods, bamboo, cane, straw, &c., ground, or semi-chemically cooked, exploded, &c., and the drying oil &c. may comprise tung oil, e.g. with 5 per cent cottonseed oil, with a light paraffin hydrocarbon, as a solution in 50 per cent kerosene, or linseed oil, perilla oil or mixtures thereof with rape oil &c., e.g. in amount approximately 4 per cent of the weight of the fibre. Waterproofing agents, e.g. rosin, petrolatum, may also be used with the drying oil &c., which may be mixed with the fibre before it is de-watered and formed into a wet-lap, applied to the wet-lap or to the board after hot pressing, e.g. by dipping the board in a bath of tung oil &c., and passing it through high pressure rollers which may be in the bath; the latter treatment may be preceded by applying the oil &c. to the smooth side only to obtain uniform distribution.  Preferably, one half the drying oil &c. is mixed with the fibre, and the remainder applied to the board.

Title: A new or improved toy or plaything
IPC: A63H27/04
Filed: 1961-08-25
Abstract: 990,999. Toy captive aircraft; targets. G. ETIENNEY, and H. FAURE. Aug. 25, 1961 [Sept. 2, 1960], No. 30750/61. Heading A6S. A toy comprises a missile carrier carried on an arm which can swing about the horizontal axis of a pivot supported by a member on a rotatable vertical shaft, axial displacement of which effects elevating the arm. A toy aircraft 25 with a bomb tube is secured to one end of a counterbalanced arm 14 which is clamped in a component 13 pivotally mounted on a supporting member 11 on a vertical shaft 3. The shaft 3 extends through a platform 2 supported on legs 1, and is rotated by a variable speed motor 4. The height and inclination of the aircraft are varied by pulling on a wire 9 which depresses a sleeve connected to the lower end of the shaft 3. The rod 14 is lowered, and a cammed surface on the component 13 rides over the upper end of a rod mounted on a turret rotatable on the platform 2, tensioning a spring between the rod and component. Releasing the wire causes the shaft 3 to rise under the action of spring 19 beneath the sleeve, the component 13 rotates under the action of the tensioned spring connected to the rod and the arm 14 rises to a greater height than it had initially. To release a bomb, a blade spring retaining the foremost bomb against the action of a rear coil spring is displaced by an electromagnet remotely controlled by contacts rotatable with the shaft 3. The target may be a box 28 which jumps when a bomb strikes a pivoted side and releases a mouse-trap catch inside. The box may be constructed in pieces to disintegrate when hit. Alternatively, the target may be a ship which sinks into a hole in a box when a bomb displaces supporting rods.
