Title: Improvements relating to the cleaning and pickling of metal articles
IPC: C23G1/08
Filed: 1934-06-28
Abstract: Ferrous metal articles are pickled in a bath containing a strong pickling acid such as sulphuric, hydrochloric or nitric acid, a gluconic acid preferably d-gluconic acid, and a wetting agent such as licorice, lignon, saponin or a sulphonated naphthalene derivative. The proportions of the constituents may be varied within the range strong pickling acid 0,5--25,0 parts gluconic acid 0,25--25,0 parts wetting agent 0,01--1,0 parts to 100 parts by weight of water.  A preferred formula is strong pickling acid 8 parts, gluconic acid 0,8 parts, wetting agent 0,1 parts to 100 parts of water.  The pickling may be accelerated by passage of an alternating current through the bath or by treatment in a strong alternating magnetic field.ALSO:Ferrous metal articles are pickled in a bath containing a strong pickling acid such as sulphuric, hydrochloric or nitric acid, and a gluconic acid preferably d - gluconic acid.  Gluconic acids are formed by oxidation of the sugars dextrose, maltose, sucrose, fructose, xylose or their decomposition products. Oxidation may be effected by means of halogens or by fermentation.  A wetting agent such as licorice, lignon, saponin or a sulphonated naphthalene derivative is preferably added to the pickling bath.  The proportions of the constituents may be varied within the range strong pickling acid 0,5-25,0 parts, gluconic acid 0,25-25,0 parts, wetting agent 0,01-1,0 parts, to 100 parts by weight of water.

The effective lens aperture, e.g. of a cinecamera, is determined by the intersection of slots 4a, 5a in a pair of flat members, one of which is secured to the moving coil of a photoelectric exposure meter, the other being driven by the first, e.g. by a pin-and-slot coupling. Alternative slot arrangements are illustrated in Figs. 2 and 3 (not shown). In the cine-camera shown, the effective aperture may be controlled manually by means of a rotary disc provided with holes corresponding to the stop desired. When this disc is moved away from its normal position with the largest hole aligned with the lens, it operates contact-springs to shunt out the photo-electric system. The meter has a transparent dial and its readings or readings indicative of the position of the manually-set disc, the peripheral portion of which is left transparent, can be seen through the viewfinder.

Abstract: 420,796. Siphon-discharge water-wastepreventers. ALLEN, B. J., and SLATER (STOKE), Ltd., J., Berry Hill Potteries, Stoke-on-Trent. July 6, 1934, No. 19796. [Class 26] To ensure a definite quantity of liquid being discharged from a cistern at each flush, irrespective of the position of the liquid level at the time of flushing in the cistern a siphon type cistern discharge device is provided wherein the admission of air to the siphon tube to break siphon therein is by way of an air tube from the interior of a stationary control reservoir filled at each operation by the actuation of the flushing lever. The discharge device, of which several may be fitted in the same continuous trough cistern, is provided with a siphon tube 2 the lower part of the ascending limb 1 being enlarged to form a barrel for a plunger 5 carried on a stem 6. The siphon is actuated by a pull lever 8 connected to the upper end of the stem 6 and also connected by a link 20 to a second plunger 16 which reciprocates in a barrel 17 communicating by a pipe 19 with an open topped receptacle 18. On actuating the lever 8 the plunger 16 is also depressed forcing a charge of water into the receptacle 18 whence it is withdrawn through a pipe 22 by the suction action of the discharge. When the water in the receptacle falls below the end of the pipe 22 air passes through the pipe and the siphon is broken. The level of the end of the pipe 22 may be adjustable to vary the duration of the flush.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of free metallic-leaf
IPC: B21C37/02
Filed: 1935-07-11
Abstract: 459,545. Compound sheet materials. PEERLESS GOLD LEAF CO., Ltd., Audrey House, Ely Place, London. July 11, 1935, No. 19834. Convention date, July 13, 1934. [Class 140] [See also Group XV] In the manufacture of " free " metallic leaf of the kind which is applied to previously-sized surfaces, the metallic film is freed from a composite strip comprising a supporting-material carrying a metallic film formed thereon by a deposition process, and is mounted by feeding it, without previous treatment, into contact with a continuous length of carrier material one side of which is capable of adhering weakly to the leaf. but, in the finished product, permits detachment of the leaf therefrom by a peeling action. A gold film 11 previously applied by electrolysis to a silver backing 18 is passed along the surface of nitric acid in a bath 17, where the silver is removed, the gold film thus freed is carried by a conveyer belt 21 to a water bath 19 for removing any acid remaining on the film, and then by a conveyer 22 to an alcohol bath 20 which removes any residue of water. The baths are constantly replenished and the levels are maintained constant by means of inlets 17a, 19a, 20a and overflows 17b, 19b, 20b. The film is then passed over a roller 31 cooperating with a roller 31a which is heated so as to remove alcohol, and is there attached to a carrier web 10 unwinding from a roll 10A, the composite strip being wound into a roll 10B. The face 10a of the web 10 is rough compared with the other face 10b, the former being uncalendered or treated with oil and the latter calendered or coated with French chalk or rouge; the rough side adheres more readily to the metallic layer than the smooth side so that when the material is wound into a roll the metallic layer will not stick to both sides of the paper. The rough side of the paper may be attached to either the bright or the dull side of the metallic film, the paper being applied either to the top or to the bottom and with either the rough or the smooth surface in contact ; when the smooth side is applied, the adhesion to the rough surface takes place on the roll 10B.

Abstract: 499,874. Thermal switches. MARKUS, R., and SMITH, F. K. (Kieback, E., and Peter, P.) July 21, 1937, No. 20232. [Class 38 (v)] In a switch of the type with the contacts enclosed in a vacuum chamber, one of the contacts being mounted on a lever passing through the end of the chamber which is made elastic to serve as a fulcrum the chamber is pivoted so that a control means, such as heat-responsive element, first tilts the chamber without altering the relation of the contacts and then, when the tilting movement has been checked by a stop, opens or closes the circuit. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement controlled by a tube 24 of a high coefficient of expansion enclosing a non-expansive rod 25 carrying a stirrup 26 and an adjustable knife-edge 23 on to which a member 22 attached to the lever 19 is pressed by a spring 29. The lever 19 passes through the sheet metal cover 9 of the chamber 8. The cover 9 is formed with arcuate corrugations 9<1> so as to allow the arm to move in the plane of the paper. The chamber 8 is pivoted about its centre of gravity and to it is attached an arm 15 which abuts against an adjustable stop 13. The lever 19 carries a contact member 20 cooperating with a contact member 17 secured in the other end of the chamber, a second member 18 serving either as another contact or merely as a stop. The spring 29 may be replaced by a bladespring. Fig. 4 shows an arrangement in which the end 42 of the chamber through which the lever 39 carrying the contact 40 passes is flat and is corrugated in the manner shown in Fig. 5. The lever 39 is furnished with an insulating portion 41 pressed by a, spring 54 against an adjustable point 52 carried by the operating-rod 53. When the contacts are nearly closed a magnet 51 bends the lever slightly to accelerate closing.
