Title: Improvements in or relating to tennis courts and the like
IPC: E01C13/06
Filed: 1954-05-26
Abstract: 814,885. Tennis courts and the like. TOMPSETT, R. S. Aug. 26, 1955 [May 26, 1954(2)], Nos. 15468/54 and 15469/54. Class 132(1) [Also in Group X] Playing surfaces for tennis courts and the like are made by laying, on a foundation, a layer of fine chippings, fibre and a binding solution comprising a mixture of linseed oil and a compatible natural or synthetic resin. The chippings may be brick, sand, granite or the like which pass a three eighths inch mesh. Preferably the fibre is coconut fibre, though teazle may be used. The layer may include granular cork or powdered soft rubber. With small chippings, e.g. of less than one eighth inch mesh, without dust, the surface looks like matt linoleum. The longer the staple length of the fibre used, the less is required and the sooner it may be rolled. Pigments may be included and the surface may be further treated, after it has at least partly dried, by rolling and spraying with binding solution. Before this has dried, a thin layer of fibre in lengths from one eighth to three quarters of an inch and suitably coloured may be added. The surface may be further modified by applying a thin dressing of fine chippings and, when finished, the surface is suitably marked. In an example 20 parts by volume of sand of less than one eighth mesh was mixed with 4 parts of coconut fibre and 3 to 6 parts of soft rubber powder or crumbs, green pigment and about 3 parts binder consisting of 1 part natural resin and 2 parts linseed oil. The surface was laid, rolled and allowed to dry for several days. before being marked. The two Provisional Specifications describe also the use of a bitumatic or tar preparation for binding.

Patent GB-165864-A (GB)
Abstract: 165,864. Guy, F. E. Sept. 25, 1919. Multiplying and dividing apparatus. - In machines of the cam-disc and pin-wheel type the totalizer carriage is traversed to the extent of one step in either direction by shifting a finger-plate f slidably mounted on pins d on the carriage. This through one of two pins e<1> rocks one of a pair of bell-crank levers e so as to depress the spacing-lever a. pivoted to the carriage at h. A detent constituted bv a forwardly-projecting arm a<1> of the lever is thus disengaged from a fixed rack b and engaged with a spring-controlled rack c slidable either way on the fixed rack to the extent of one tooth. The carriage is therefore limited in movement to this amount, and on release of the finger-plate f a spring g restores the lever a to normal locking position and the finger plate f to its mid position. According to the Provisional Specification, the detent is carried by a vertical spring-controlled rod operated by the finger-plate through a cam-and-roller arrangement.

In use, the laminated components containing the adhesive are cured at elevated temperatures to convert the resole to the infusible state.  The adhesives are preferably used in an aqueous, alkaline medium. Specified furans are 2-vinylfuran, 5 - methyl - 2 - vinylfuran, 4 - isopropyl - 2 - vinylfuran, 5 - chloro - 2 - vinylfuran, 5 - ethoxy - methyl - 2 - vinylfuran, 3 : 4-dimethyl - 2 - vinylfuran, 4 - methyl - 3 - vinylfuran and 2 : 4 - dimethyl-3-vinylfuran,  Suitable dienes are 1 : 3-butadiene, isoprene, dimethylbutadiene and piperylene.  The copolymer may contain a third component, e.g. styrene, methyl vinyl ketone, vinyl naphthalene, methyl methacrylate, acrylonitrile, or diethyl fumarate. The copolymers may be prepared in aqueous emulsion, insolution or in bulk.  The emulsion may contain dispersing agents, e.g. sodium or potassium oleate or sodium resinate, protective colloids, e.g. formaldehyde-sodium naphthalenesulphonate condensates, catalysts, e.g. potassium persulphate or peroxides, modifiers, e.g. monothiols, xanthogen disulphides and carbon tetrachloride and antioxidants, e.g. phenylalpha-naphthylamine-diphenylamine mixture.  Phenolic compounds which can be used in the preparation of the resoles include phenol, cresols, xylenols and the naphthols, their condensation products with aldehydes or ketones, e.g. diphenylolmethane or diphenylolpropane; halogen or alkyl substituted phenols; polyhydric phenols, particularly resorcinol, and natural products such as quebracho extract.  Specified aldehydes are formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, hexamethylene tetramine, acetaldehyde, benzaldehyde, furfural and salicylaldehyde.  The resole may be prepared before addition to the copolymer or the phenol and aldehyde may be added separately to the emulsion, preferably in the presence of an alkali.  The adhesive may also contain fillers, e.g. carbon black, vulcanizing ingredients, e.g. sulphur or zinc oxide, accelerators, natural rubber latex and other natural or synthetic rubber compositions, plasticizers and tackifiers such as cumar resins.
