Patent GB-767639-A (GB)
Title: Refining of polyethylene
Filed: 1955-01-24
Abstract: Crude polyethylene is refined to give uniform products by subjecting it to intensive mixing in an enclosed chamber under pressure.  Mixing is effected by a plurality of rotating members which rotate at different peripheral speeds, initially for a period of not more than two minutes with the fastest member revolving at a peripheral speed of 200-285 feet per minute and under 20-30 lbs./sq. inch pressure and finally for such a period that the entire time of treatment is not less than five minutes with the fastest member rotating as above at a pressure of not more than 5 lbs./sq. inch, the walls of the chamber being cooled to 35-38 DEG  F., throughout the mixing.  In a modification for the production of moulding powder two additional steps carried out at lower speed are interposed between the initial and final mixing. The initial step, as before, is followed by a second step using a peripheral speed of 100-150 feet per minute and not more than 5 lbs. per sq. inch pressure for 2-4 minutes, and a third step using a speed of 100-150 feet per minute and 20-30 lbs. per sq. inch pressure, and the final mixing as above, the entire time being not less than 6 minutes.  The process may be carried out in a Banbury-type mixer.  The product may be used in injection moulding, extrusion and flame spraying.  U.S.A. Specification 2,153,553 is referred to.

Abstract: 1488669 Hose couplings DUNLOP Ltd 6 Jan 1975 [16 Jan 1974] 02083/74 Heading F2G A coupling for a flexible hose line assembly comprises a nipple 6, an outer sleeve 10 and an inner sealing insert 7, the nipple 6 having a threaded end 18 which screws into an axially extending threaded bore 19 provided in the sleeve 10. The insert 7 is located within a plastics tube portion 2 of a hose line 1 at one end and within an axially extending throughway in the nipple 6 at the other end. The end of the nipple 6, which is located within the sleeve 10, has a tubular locating end portion 20 which is positioned between the outer surface of the plastics tube 2 and the inner surface of a wire braid outer reinforcement 3, the inner surface of the end portion 20 being provided with at least one annular rib 21 of generally sawtooth form. After assembly, the sleeve 10 is deformed by means of a swaging tool 30 so that the reinforcement 3 is gripped between the threaded bore 19 and the plastics tube 2, the latter being forced into sealed contact with the insert 7 whilst the annular ribs 21 are forced into the outer surface of the plastics tube 2 to create annular lip seals. The outer surface of the end portion 20 of the nipple 6 may also be provided with sawtooth annular ribs whilst the outer face of the insert 7 may be provided with annular recesses.

Abstract: 1460443 Pick up arm R H RUSHTON 11 April 1974 [15 Jan 1973] 2097/73 Heading G5R Pick up arm 2 is mounted in gimbals 4 at one end of an arm 6 which is mounted at P for horizontal pivoting movement and is held or released, in response to the position of the pick up arm, to maintain the pick up arm tangential to the record groove being scanned. Movement of the arm 2 is detected by a lampphotocell arrangement in unit 12 which cooperates with a shutter arm 8 secured to gimbal ring 10 and controls the braking effect of an electro-magnet 20 which is mounted at the other end of arm 6 and reacts with a soft iron strip 22. If the pick up arm inclines inwardly past the tangential position the shutter 8 decreases the light incident on the photocell whereby the braking effect of the electro-magnet decreases and needle drag moves arm 6 clockwise to restore the tangential position of the arm. On outward inclination of the arm 2 the arm 6 is braked and held until the pick up arm resumes its tangential position.
