[Class 20 (ii)] Shutters for use in the casting of hollow concrete structures of circular or polygonal cross-section are attached to substantially vertical supports adapted to be moved inwardly or outwardly by means of a double system of hing- ed links, each linkage system being arranged to form a polygon. The inner and outer shutters a<1>, a2 are each formed of a plurality of segments, each of which comprises a group of staves a attached to a pair of horizontally-arranged angle-irons b, as shown in Fig. 2. The extended ends of adjacent angle-irons b are adapted to overlap to an extent depending on the diameter to which the shuttering is arranged, and are held in place by pins c engaging slots d in the angle-irons b. The shutter segments are secured to vertical supports g, h attached to the angleirons b and extending above the tops of the shutters. The two linkage systems are connected to the upper ends of the supports g, h, and each consists of hinged links e arranged in star shape as shown in Fig. 1. The outer pivot pins f of these links e are connected to radial arms j which carry the supports h at their inner ends, and the supports g are carried by the inner points of the linkage system. The corresponding links e, j of the two systems are connected together by bracing members. The inward and outward movement of the linkage system, and therefore of the shuttering, is effected by nuts on pivotally-mounted screwthreaded rods k connecting the supports h. The apparatus is adapted to be raised intermittently as the height of the structure increases, by means of jacks p, as shown in Figs. 3 and 5. The jacks are mounted on each of the posts g, h and are adapted to grip the reinforcing rods q, which project above the concrete already cast and extend for the full height of the structure. The gaps between adjacent shutter segments are adapted to be closed by tapered closures. The upper and lower portions, respectively, of Figs. 1 and 2 show the arrangements of the parts in expanded and contracted position.

Title: Improved means for marking with register marks the cylinders used in rotary photogravure printing machines
IPC: G03F9/00
Filed: 1931-08-17
Abstract: 382,346. Tools for setting-out work. HOE & CO., Ltd., R., 109, Borough Road, London.-(Hoe & Co., Inc., R. ; 138th Street, New York, U.S.A.) Aug. 17, 1931, No. 23172. [Class 61 (ii).] A machine is described for marking photogravure cylinders with register marks primarily to facilitate the accurate positioning of etching tissues which themselves have register marks. Provision is made for varying the successive markings of successive cylinders for multicolour printing to allow for successive shrinkage of the web after successive printings. The machine comprises a frame 12, Fig. 1, having aligned bearings 14, 15 for the cylinder 18, a carriage way 39 parallel to the cylinder, a two part carriage comprising a carriage 40 slidable on the carriage way 39, and a marking tool slide 45 which is adjustable parallel to the cylinder axis relatively to the carriage 40. The cylinder shaft 17 is guided by skids 24 on to the bearings 14, 15 which are fitted with hinged sections. The cylinder is aligned and pressed up against a positioning shoulder 28 by an end screw 26 and locking nut 27. A handwheel 29 is fitted on to the shaft 17 by a key way 31 and has a series of spaced holes engaged by a retractable pin 36 to hold the cylinder in successive angular positions for making longitudinal markings by sliding the marking tool along the carriage way. For circumferential markings the carriage 40 of the marker can be positioned on the carriage way (by a spring bolt 57 and a series of spaced holes 52), and the cylinder rotated. The marker itself 71, Fig. 3, is secured by a chuck 70 to a tubular holder 63 fitted to a collar 64 resiliently pressed by a spring 65 in the housing 61. It can be retracted by the handle 67 and held by the pin 69 which also holds it against rotation. The housing 61 is mounted on the marking-tool slide 45 which is adjustable to a scale 50<1> on the carriage 40 by a screw spindle 46. This enables the spacing of the marks to be accurately adjusted for successive colour printing cylinders. In a modified construction the marking-tool slide 145, Fig. 5, is directly mounted on the carriage way 39 and adjusted relatively to the main carriage 140 by a screw 146 having a fixed bearing 147 in the carriage 140.

Abstract: 996,006. Thermal switches. M. CLAUSEN, [trading as DANFOSS VED. ING. M. CLAUSEN [firm of]]. June 27, 1961 [June 27, 1960], No. 23235/61. Heading H2B. An evaporator thermostat having an adjustable temperature range and semi-automatic defrosting, includes an adjustment spring 2 biasing a lever 1 and an auxiliary spring 18 arranged between lever 1 and a trip lever 17 pivoted to lever 1 at 19. Spring 18 is stronger than spring 2 and normally therefore levers 1 and 17 move rigidly together under control of a bellows 3 to actuate contacts 14 via a snap spring 9 and lever 8. When defrosting is to be initiated, a button 26 is depressed, thereby tilting a lever 24 counter-clockwise to the Fig. 3 position where it is latched by the end 20 of lever 17 and wherein it opens contacts 14. Expansion of the bellows causes movement of lever 1 until it abuts a fixed stop 16 whereupon spring 2 is rendered inoperative and its place taken by spring 18 until lever 17 is moved sufficiently to place its end 20 opposite an aperture 25 in lever 24 which is thereby released for return to its initial position. In a second embodiment (not shown), levers 1 and 17 are co-pivoted and directly actuate contacts 14, and act on a further set of contacts also acted on by the defrost button.

Title: Fluorinated aromatic diamides
Inventor: CUMMINGS WILLIAM
IPC: C07C233/00
Filed: 1965-06-01
Abstract: The invention relates to diamides of the formula A-Ar-A, in which Ar denotes a divalent aromatic structure containing one or more aromatic nuclei and A denotes an amide grouping of the formula R.CO.N(R1)- or R.N(R1).CO- attached to a nuclear carbon atom of Ar, R denoting a monovalent aromatic radical containing one or more aromatic nuclei and R1 denoting hydrogen or a monovalent aromatic radical containing one or more aromatic nuclei and the product containing at least one fluorine atom as a nuclear substituent. The diamides may be made by reacting a diamine of the formula R1NH-Ar-NHR1 or a monoamine of the formula R.R1.NH with, respectively, a monocarboxylic halide of the formula R.CO.X or a dicarboxylic halide of the formula X.CO.Ar.CO.X, in which X denotes a halogen atom, it being stipulated that, when R1 denotes an aromatic radical, at least one of the nuclei to which each nitrogen atom is linked should be free from fluorine.  Alternatively, when both R and R1 denote aromatic radicals, the products may be prepared by reacting an alkali-metal derivative of a di-secondary amine of the formula M.(R1)N-Ar-N(R1)M or an alkali-metal derivative of a mono-secondary amine of the formula RR1NM, in which M denotes an alkali-metal atom, with, respectively, a monocarboxylic halide R.CO.X or a dicarboxylic halide X.CO.Ar.CO.X.  Suitably, Ar is a phenylene, fluorophenylene, biphenylene or fluorobiphenylene radical, R is a phenyl, fluorophenyl, biphenylyl or fluorobiphenylyl radical and R1 is the same as R, unless it is hydrogen, but any of Ar, R and R1 may also denote an optionally fluorinated naphthalene nucleus or two optionally fluorinated benzene nuclei linked through an intermediate atom or group, e.g. an alkylene, carbonyl or sulphonyl group.  In typical examples of reactions effected with aromatic monoamines or diamines, (1) m-phenylene diamine and pentafluorobenzoyl chloride yield 1,3 - bis - (pentafluorobenzamido) benzene, (2) 4,41-diaminooctafluorobiphenyl and pentafluorobenzoyl chloride yield 4,41-bis-(pentafluorobenzamido) octafluorobiphenyl, (3) aniline and tetrafluoroterephthaloyl chloride yield tetrafluoroterephthaloyl dianilide and (4) pentafluoroaniline and tetrafluoroisophthaloyl chloride yield tetrafluoroisophthaloyl di-(pentafluoroanilide). In typical examples of the use of alkali-metal compounds of aromatic monoamines or diamines, (1) decafluorodiphenylamine is treated with butyl lithium and the product is reacted with tetrafluoroterephthaloyl chloride to yield N,N,N1,N1-tetra-(pentafluorophenyl) tetrafluoroterephthalamide and (2) N,N1 - bis - (pentafluorophenyl) tetrafluorop-phenylene diamine is treated with sodium hydride and the product is reacted with pentafluorobenzoyl chloride to yield N,N1-bis-(pentafluorophenyl) - 1,4 - bis - (pentafluorobenzamido) tetrafluorobenzene.  A number of other products of the invention are specified.
