Filed: 1939-04-05
Abstract: 527,133. Trailer ambulances and caravans. BROCKHOUSE & CO., Ltd., J., and DEAR, A. T. C. April 5, 1939, No. 10573. [Class 108 (i) ] In vehicles of the kind adapted to carry stretchers, beds or like furniture for lying upon, one or both of the sides and adjacent parts of the ends are open or are adapted to be opened so that the stretchers &c. can be loaded or unloaded in a direction transverse to the length of the vehicle. A trailer ambulance vehicle is shown, comprising a pair of rearwardly diverging bars 6 to which is secured the body frame comprising side members 8 and cross-members 19, 22. A sheet metal roof 21 is carried by bearers 25 reinforced by bars 26, secured to standards 24 attached to the members 19. Lower stretchers 30 rest with their feet 31 in transverse channels 32 secured to the frame 8 or to a floor 33. Upper stretchers are carried by arms 34 with reinforcing members 35 secured to the standards 24. The stretchers are secured by hooks 36 and straps 37. The sides may be closed when desired by a pair of curtains 38, suspended by runners from a rail 40 disposed within the depending roof flange 23, each curtain closing one end and the adjacent half of each side. The curtain supports may be as described in Specification 512,119, [Group XIV]. Curtains may instead be arranged to be unrolled from the roof level. The vehicle may be open on one side only and the roof supports be disposed only at the opposite side. The construction may be applied to a trailer caravan, the stretchers at one side being replaced by permanent beds, and the opposite side being used as a living quarter or kitchen. A pair of laterally extending handles 16 foldable into a longitudinal position enables the vehicle to be drawn by hand when desired. Brakes applied by overrun of the vehicle relatively to the tractor and which may be held " on by a hand lever 15 as described in Specification 493,161, [Group XXXIV], may be provided. The springs 9 may be of the form described in Specification 472,393.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of hydrogenated heterocyclic nitrogencompounds
IPC: C07D211/60
Filed: 1934-04-11
Abstract: Carboxylic and sulphonic acids of the pyridine, quinoline and acridine series are hydrogenated by subjecting them, or their alkali metal salts, in a liquid medium to the action of hydrogen at elevated temperature and pressure in the presence of a base metal catalyst such as finely-divided nickel, cobalt, iron or copper, preferably mounted on a carrier.  Temperatures of 125--250 DEG  C. and pressures of 10--200 atmospheres are referred to. Examples are given of the preparation of (1) nipecotinic acid by treatment of nicotinic acid dissolved in ethyl alcohol, using as catalyst reduced nickel mounted on kieselguhr; sodium nipecotinate may be similarly prepared from sodium nicotinate; (2) potassium a -pipecolinate from potassium a -picolinate in aqueous solution with a nickel-kieselguhr catalyst. Chromium oxide is also referred to as a carrier and the catalyst may then be prepared by reducing, for example, nickel chromate.  The process may also be applied to the hydrogenation of 4-methyl-pyridine-2-carboxylic acid, 2 : 5-diethylpyridine-3 - carboxylic acid and 2 - methylpyridine - 5 - sulphonic acid to the corresponding piperidine compounds; quinoline-2-carboxylic acid and quinoline-6-sulphonic acid to the decahydroquinoline compounds; and acridine-2-sulphonic acid to the tetradecahydroacridine compound.

Abstract: 552,427. Cellulose derivative compositions ; coated fabrics. GOURLAY, J. S., PERRY, H. A. D., and IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. Sept. 3, 1941, No. 11253. [Class 2 (ii)] [Also in Group VIII] Aircraft fabric is taughtened by treatment with a composition comprising nitrocellulose and ethylcellulose. The fabric is stretched in the desired position on the aircraft and then treated with the taughtening dope which stiffens the fabric and increases the tension thereof. The proportion of ethylcellulose preferably does not exceed twice the weight of the nitrocellulose. Such coatings have improved flexibility and elasticity and exhibit a slower rate of burning than nitrocellulose coatings not containing ethylcellulose. In an example, a mixture of red iron oxide with ethyl cellulose, acetone, benzol, and ethyl alcohol is mixed with a solution comprising ethylcellulose, nitrocellulose, acetone, methyl ethyl ketone, benzol, ethyl alcohol, petroleum of b.p. 100-200‹ C., and butanol. The composition may contain castor oil, tricresyl phosphate, or plasticizer resins such as oilmodified alkyd resins. One or more coats of the taughtening composition may be applied to the fabric. To the fabric so treated there may be applied one or more coats of a protective covering such as a composition based on nitrocellulose or ethyl cellulose or a mixture of both.

A method for the continuous manufacture of glass fibre reinforced synthetic resin web comprises passing a glass fibre web through a bath of synthetic resin, impregnating and uniformly coating said web in said resin bath, passing the coated web through a polymerizing zone and a gelling zone, covering the web on the upper and lower surfaces with a separate foil, feeding the covered and coated web through at least two pairs of forming rollers and thereafter passing the web through at least two setting zones and a cooling zone for final setting of the resin. For the production of smooth flat webs the forming rollers are plain; for the production of transversely corrugated webs the corrugations are applied by means of forming rollers with correspondingly contoured surfaces; and for the production of longitudinally corrugated webs the impregnated web is first passed through a plurality of pairs of preforming rollers corresponding to the number of corrugations required so that the first corrugation is formed by a first pair of rollers, the second corrugation by a second pair of rollers which accumulates the web in its first section and so on. As shown (with reference to the production of a longitudinally corrugated web) glass fibre web 2 passes through resin impregnating bath 1, then between changing rollers 3, squeezing rollers 4 and through ovens 5 and 6 forming the polymerizing zone and gelling zone respecpectively. Separater foil 8 drawn from supply source 7 is applied by rolls 9 to the upper and under sides of the glass fibre web which then passes between a series of pairs of preforming rollers 10, whereby the longitudinal corrugations are formed. The web is drawn forward between pairs of forming and transport rollers 11, which exhibit the furnished measurements of the web sections and carry out the final shaping of the web, then passes through setting ovens 12 and 13, side-trimming device 14, sectional rollers 15 and finally arrives either at cutting device 16 or winding-on unit 17.

In a printer of the type in which ganged type-wheels 1, Fig. 1, are continuously rotating a photo-electrically sensed disc 11 produces a pulse for each character-position around the type-wheels and two distributers 16 are so connected to thirteen leads (not shown) as to mark a different two leads as each character passes under the printing hammers. In operation as each character passes under the hammers the entire contents of an eighty column core-store 20, Fig. 2, storing a line of data to be printed are read out serially by row and compared by gates 27, 28, 29, 30, 31 with the particular character under the hammers. Each time agreement is found a " one " is inserted in a shiftregister 33, which is stepped synchronously with the read-out of the core-store, whereby when the entire contents of the core-store have been read-out the shift-register holds a " one " in every position where the character under the hammers occurs in the line of data that is to be printed. All of the hammers corresponding to these " ones " are then actuated. In this way the line of data that is to be printed is printed by first printing all the A's in the line, then all the B's and so on, and the entire line is printed in one revolution of the type-wheels.
