Abstract: 945,169. Keyboard switches; switches held set and freed mechanically; press-button retractive switches. ERICSSON TELEPHONES Ltd. Oct. 10, 1961 [Oct. 13, 1960], No. 35031/60. Heading H2B. A switch-actuating mechanism comprises a system of primary plungers such as 14, 16, 17, mounted in line with their long axes parallel, each such primary plunger when displaced directly performing a switching operation, and at least one such plunger, e.g. 14 or 16, being further displaceable to displace at least one other secondary plunger such as 15, which performs a further switching operation. Plunger 17 has an integral rib 21 projecting through a slot 13 in a support-plate 10 and is depressible against spring 18 until nib 21 is latched by a latching mechanism 20, the downward movement of plunger 17 causing a cam face 23 thereon to bear on cam follower 28 of a spring blade 25 to cause making of a contact 29 via an operating comb 27 supported by spring blades 25, 26, of a springset assembly 19. Plungers 14, 16, one similarly latched and further depression of either of these plungers operates the secondary plunger 15, which is retractive. Further embodiments use pins passing through the upper ends of the primary plungers and engaging in U-shaped slots in the secondary plungers to give another method of actuation thereof (Figs. 4, 5, not shown). The primary plungers may be coupled together so as to be operable as a unit (Figs. 6a, 6b, not shown).

Title: Washing process for textile materials
IPC: C11D11/00
Filed: 1933-12-13
Abstract: Impurities are removed from raw or manufactured waste textile material by treatment with a water-insoluble carboxylic acid, e.g. a fatty acid, in amount not less than half the weight of the material, followed by removal of the bulk of the acid, treatment with ammonia solution or alkali to convert the acid retained by the fibre into a soap, and simultaneous or subsequent washing of the soap containing material.  Specified materials treated are wool, cotton, hair and silk, especially wool containing pitch or morbid perspiration, pianoforte felts, and raw cotton soiled with resin or colouring matter.  Specified carboxylic acids are lauric, palmitric, stearic, myristic, elaidic and oleic acids and dichloro derivatives thereof. Such acids may be recovered by treating the washing liquors with a mineral acid.  The following examples are specified.  (1) Raw wool containing pitch is washed to remove sand, loose dirt and easily removable fat and is then soaked for 5--20 hours in twice its weight of commercial oleine at normal or slightly raised temperature, squeezed or centrifuged, and washed in a weak alkaline bath at 50 DEG C.  (2) Raw cotton soiled with resin or colouring matter is soaked for 20 hours in twice its weight of arachis-oleic acid, squeezed, placed in 5 per cent potash lye, centrifuged and washed in a second alkaline bath. Specifications 10834/92 and 19144/01, [both in Class 15], are referred to.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also (a) any treatment with one or more solvents of high boiling point followed by washing in an aqueous bath; specified solvents are water-soluble amines, e.g. pyridine, quinoline, ethylenediamine or ethanolamine, esters, e.g. the aralkyl, glycol or glycerol esters of higher fatty acids, salts of these acids, aliphatic sulpho-acids, sulphamine acids or sulpho-ester acids, especially in the form of the sodium or potassium salts or the esters, e.g. of stearic-, palmitic- or elaidicsulpho - acid, oleylaminoethane - sulpho - acid, ricinoleic-sulpho-acid or oleyl alcohol-sulpho-acid, aqueous solutions of sulphonated fats or oils, e.g. of turkey-red oil or sulphonated tallow, and aqueous solutions of the corresponding phosphoric acid esters; (b) an example in which raw wool, soiled with pitch, is soaked in pyridine or oleylaminoethylenedimethylamine, squeezed and washed with a weak solution of soap; (c) an example in which raw wool soiled with waxy perspiration is soaked for 6--8 hours in 50 per cent turkey red oil at 20 DEG  C., squeezed, centrifuged and washed. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 793,650. Automatic exchange systems. SIEMENS & HALSKE AKT.-GES. Nov. 19, 1956 [Nov. 19, 1955], No. 35333/56. Class 40 (4). A system in which any one of a large number of incoming lines can be connected directly to any one of a large number of outgoing lines through the operation of a coupling relay normally suffers from troubles caused by several parallel circuits involving reverse currents through rectifiers reaching a value sufficient to operate a relay other than the desired one. This trouble can be avoided by dividing the lines into groups as shown in Fig. 3 so that the number of parallel circuits involved is too small to operate any but the desired relay. The matrix is divided into a number of horizontal and a number of vertical sections. To connect incoming line V1/1 to outgoing line V2/1, contacts e1<SP>1</SP>, e1<SP>2</SP> and contacts f1<SP>1</SP>, f1<SP>2</SP> are closed to energize coupling relay K1/1. In Fig. 4 a single contact e1 is closed for the incoming line and a single contact f1 for the outgoing line, the several vertical and horizontal sections being isolated by additional rectifiers such as Ge1/1, Ge1/2 and Gf1/1, Gf1/2.

Abstract: 1306837 Non-woven pile fabrics E BONDI 23 July 1970 [24 July 1969 13 Dec 1969] 35649/70 Heading D1K A pile fabric is formed by forming a base layer on the end surface of a block of pile yarns 3 or on a backing 2 and slicing the block transversely and securing the slice directly on to the backing that is advanced relative to the slice during the slicing and securing operation. Slices may be secured successively in abutment on the backing layer 2 to form a continuous pile fabric. The yarn block is formed and is held in a container 41, whose side walls comprise conveyor belts, and moved downwards a distance equal to the length of pile as described in Specification 22023/70. The container is traversed to the left on rails 53 so that the end surface of the yarn passes across the roller of an adhesive coating machine 5 to a heater 4, above which the coated adhesive is dried. The container 41 then traverses to the right, the roller of the coating machine being lowered as it passes to a band blade 10 which slices off the layer of pile fabric formed. The slice may be dropped onto a backing layer 2, which may also be coated with adhesive, or in the case of a thermoplastic backing heated to partially melt it, and the adhesive dried by a heated plate 30. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 3, not shown), the base layer is formed on the end of the yarn block by fusing the ends of the yarns together, when they are thermoplastic.

Title: A thermally actuated valve
Inventor: GOULD JACK KINGSLEY
IPC: F16K17/38
Filed: 1959-10-21
Abstract: 881,132. Thermally-actuated valves. AMERICAN RADIATOR & STANDARD SANITARY CORPORATION. Oct. 21, 1959, No. 35705/59. Class 135. [Also in Group XIII] A thermally actuated valve comprises a fluid passage having a wall 20 therein defining a first port 56, an abutment member 16 within the passage, a thermostatic power element 30 positioned between the wall and abutment member for expansive movement on fluid temperature increase to substantially close the first port, and a second port 28 formed in the wall to allow a small quantity of fluid to flow through the passage closely adjacent the power element upon closure of the first port whereby, when the fluid temperature has sufficiently decreased, the fluid flowing through the second port is effective to cool the power element and cause said power element to retract away from the first port. The port 56 is formed in a grommet 24 of nylon or other plastic material, the seating surface being formed with a notch defining the second port 28; two notches as shown may be provided. The thermostatic element comprises a pellet 44 of wax or other expansible material compounded, if desired, with copper or aluminium particles, located in a cage 32 secured to a sleeve 34 by a ring 36, the pellet being in contact with a rubber diaphragm 50 acting upon a deformable plug 52. In operation, when fluid passing through the valve exceeds a certain temperature, the wax expands causing the plug 52 to act on a piston 51 secured to the abutment spring 16, the element then rising up the piston until the flat surface of the cage 32 substantially closes off the port 56. Due to the notches 28 a small quantity of fluid passes over the cage, and when the fluid temperature decreases, causes the wax to contract and thereby re-open the valve.
