Abstract: 384,119. Discharge apparatus. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London.-(Assignees of Forney, J. D. ; 13, Hedges Avenue, Chatham, New Jersey, U.S.A.) Jan. 27, 1932, No. 2520. Convention date, Jan. 31, 1931. [Class 39 (i).] A discharge device such as a lamp having an independently-heated cathode, one or more anodes, and an auxiliary anode, is operated by heating the cathode so that electrons are emitted in progressively increasing extent and collecting the electrons at the auxiliary anode, which is included in a circuit having actuating means serving to initiate the main discharge when the auxiliary discharge current reaches a predetermined value. The formation of a hot spot on the cathode is thereby prevented. As shown, a cathode 2 of nickel coated with barium or strontium or compounds thereof, is in the form of a truncated cone closed except for a small opening opposite an auxiliary anode 12. A heater 8, consisting of a tungsten wire on a tube of thoria, is mounted inside the cathode and supplied from a secondary 17 of an autotransformer 14, one end of the wire being connected with the cathode. At starting the circuit from the transformer iscompleted through an inductance 16, the heater 8,- cathode 2, auxiliary anode 12, a switch operated by the inductance, and a resistance 19. When the auxiliary discharge reaches a predetermined value, the inductance operates the switch 18 and opens the circuit. At the same time the surge produced by the fall in current in the inductance lowers the potential of the cathode and causes the discharge to pass to the main' anodes 3. The filling is of neon or mercury at a pressure of 0À5 to 4 mms.

Title: Improvements in box toe blank
IPC: A43B23/08
Filed: 1926-02-02
Abstract: 259,445. Daly, C. L. Feb. 2, 1926. Stiffeners.-A box toe blank 1 of felt or the like impregnated with a thermo-plastic non-adhesive stiffening agent has an external band or coating 2 of latently adhesive material applied at the tip only, adapted to secure the toe blank in position. The coating 2, preferably of a low melting asphalt, is applied in any suitable manner to either side of the tip, and when softened will cause the stiffener, lining and doubler 4, and vamp 5, to unite without stitching. The coating 2 may be extended forwardly of the blank to provide an adherent zone of sufficient width to ensure that the blank will adhere properly to the toe tip and lining, when these are stitched to the vamp at 6. In assembly, a flat blank is inserted between the toe lip and the lining of a lasted upper and placed in a heater. The blank may then be shaped and pulled over with the tip and lining. The heat treatment softens the coating 2 and causes the vamp and lining to adhere to the blank when the toe is wiped. The stitches 6 do not pass into the blank, and hence a more highly stiffened blank may be used. Preferably the ends of the blank are scarfed. As the adhesive is applied at the tip line only, there is no gumming of toe trimming knives, nor of pulling- over pinchers. Instead of a thermo-adhesive material, such adhesive as hard glue, dextrin, gutta-percha, rubber, or any bituminous or resinous material capable of being rendered sticky by a solvent, or vapour of a solvent, may be used.
