Patent GB-709150-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in colouring articles of natural or synthetic textile raw materials
IPC: C09B67/28
Filed: 1952-03-05
Abstract: Threads, fibres, bands and fabrics of natural and synthetic textile materials are coloured by impregnating them with an aqueous dispersion of a water-insoluble vat dyestuff (insoluble in aliphatic esters of acetic acid) of which the particle size has been brought to less than 10 mm , and then drying the articles. Particles of this size are stated to be capable of penetrating the inter-micellar spaces of the articles and to be retained after drying.  When used for printing the usual thickeners are added and the print dried, steamed and soaped at the boil.  The process is applicable to wool, cotton, silk regenerated cellulose, acetate silk, polyamides, polymethanes, polyesters, polyvinyl chloride and polyacrylonitrile. In the examples (1) Indanthrene Blue is triturated with lactose, the mixture added to water and the coarser particles separated by sedimentation; cotton is impregnated with the remaining dispersion at room temperature, soaped at the boil, rinsed and dried; it is coloured blue; (2) Indanthrene Blue is converted into its leuco vat acid and the latter kneaded with dextrin and dispersed in water; viscose is dyed blue by impregnation with this dispersion at room temperature; the vat acid is reoxidized partly during kneading and partly in the dyebath; dyeing is accelerated by heating and/or by adding an inorganic salt; (3) a similar preparation is made from the vat dyestuff 2-(1-aminoanthraquinonyl-2)-(anthraquinono-2':3'-4:5-oxazole)-see Specification 298,545, [Class 2(iii)]-and used for dyeing wool, silk, acetate silk polyesters, polyamides or polyacrylonitrile in red shades; pyranthrone similarly gives orange shades.

Title: Electrical connector
IPC: H01R13/53
Filed: 1965-02-10
Abstract: 1,097,978. Two part couplings. RTE CORPORATION. Feb. 10, 1965 [Feb. 10, 1964]. No. 5774/65. Heading H2E. An electrical connector specially adapted for high voltage connections comprises a plug member carrying a conductive pin 26, the free end of which is rigidly secured to an insulating pin 30 of arc extinguishing material, and a socket carrying a conductive sleeve 58 having an annular inward projection 62 which is adjacent to an insulating sleeve 66 of arc extinguishing material. The plug includes a resilient hood moulded from insulating material e.g. elastomer rubber and has a projection 36 at the end of recess 16 in which pin 26 is located. The socket body 40 may be formed from either an organic insulating material or an inorganic one such as glass or porcelain. When the plug and socket are mated projection 36 engages in a groove 38 on the socket body, and the connector is moisture-proofed by coating the tapering mating surfaces 16 and 48 with grease prior to assembly. On separation of the members the arc drawn between the conductive members is confined in the space between the insulated member 40 and the sleeve 66 and the heat of the arc causes these members to set up a deionized zone which will extinguish the arc. In a further embodiment (Figs. 3 and 4, not shown) an electrically non-conductive spring loaded cap, is positioned within the socket conductive sleeve. The spring is compressed on insertion of the plug pin, and on disconnection the cap follows the motion of the pin to provide a high dielectric medium in the gap between the conductors, thus preventing arcing. The incoming cable 22 has its stranding removed, a spade terminal 24 is crimped to the end of the cable core, and the assembly is inserted into a moulded recess in the hood, which is then filled with a grease-type insulating material. Conductive tape is wrapped around the end of a preformed stress cone 15.

Title: Improvements in or relating to rifles or other quick firing guns using fixed ammunition
IPC: F41A21/28
Filed: 1945-03-13
Abstract: 643,842. Ordnance; small arms. BURNEY, Sir C. D. March 13, 1945, No. 6306. [Classes 9 (i), 92 (ii) and 119] A quick firing gun or rifle using ammunition which has its wall perforated at 8, Fig. 1, has its cartridge chamber 3 of a diameter substantially greater than that of the cartridges or of the breech opening through which the cartridge is loaded into the chamber so that a chamber space is produced round the cartridge when loaded. Upon firing the gases pass from the cartridge case into the chamber which acts as a reservoir. thus resulting in the pressure-space curve having a high mean value. In Fig. 1, the barrel 1, which is rifled with a pitch of less than 1 in 30 calibres, merges into the forward portion 2 of the chamber on which is screwed the rear portion 4, this portion supporting a breech ring 6 through which the rounds of ammunition are inserted. The breech ring also supports and locates the rear end of the cartridge case 7. In Fig. 2 the enlarged chamber is formed integral with the rear end of the barrel 16. The cartridges are loaded into the chamber by a bolt 18, the cartridges being supplied by a magazine which extends laterally to the left hand side of the gun. The chamber volume in both constructions lies within the range of 25-50 per cent of the barrel volume. The provision of the large chamber permits of a barrel of increased length, and to prevent the centre of gravity moving forward in relation to the butt plate, the whole barrel and chamber is shifted rearwardly so that the chamber and therewith the magazine comes in the rear of the trigger. The cartridge case 7, Fig. 1, has a perforated wall 8 and is lined with waterproof paper or other readily consumable covering 11 for the cordite propelling charge. At its rear the case is screwed into a base cap 12 having a skirt 13 whose forward end 14 is reduced in thickness. When explosion takes place the gases enter the annular space between the skirt and case and thereby expand the skirt against the breech ring so that obturation takes place over the distance X.

Patent GB-434423-A (GB)
Title: The application of cellulose ether finishes to leather
IPC: C09D101/28
Filed: 1934-02-27
Abstract: A process for producing on leather a finish of good fastness to wet and dry rubbing consists in applying to the leather a composition comprising a solution in a lower aliphatic alcohol of ethyl cellulose and, as plasticizer, a long chain aliphatic alcohol or acid having 8 or more carbon atoms, or an oil such as castor oil or neatsfoot oil, or a wax such as carnauba wax, or an ester such as tricresyl phosphate or dibutyl phthalate, and, if desired as an adhesive a natural or synthetic gum or resin soluble in the lower aliphatic alcohols, with or without colouring matter or pigment.  A small proportion of an alcohol, ester or ether of boiling point between about 90 DEG  C. and 160 DEG  C. may be added to reduce the rate of evaporation.  The finish may be applied by brushing, padding or spraying.  In an example 10 parts of carbon black are dispersed in a mixture of 55 parts of 10 per cent methylated spirit solution of bleached shellac and 35 parts of a 10 per cent methylated spirit solution of ethyl clelulose.  The dispersion is stirred into a solution of 10 parts of ethyl cellulose and 10 parts of cetyl alcohol in 500 parts of methylated spirit.  To 10 parts of this finish, 1 part of ethylene glycol monoethyl ether may be applied.  A clear finish, which may be applied to leather previously given a water pigment finish, may be produced by dissolving 10 parts of ethyl cellulose in 100 parts of methylated spirit, and adding a solution of 20 parts of cetyl alcohol in 350 parts of methylated spirit.  In another example 30 parts of titanium white are dispersed by milling into a mixture of 12 parts of bleached shellac in 100 parts of methylated spirit and 5 parts of ethyl cellulose in 25 parts of methylated spirit.  The dispersion is mixed with a solution of 5 parts of cetyl alcohol in 25 parts of methylated spirit with 10 parts of Rotor red B in methylated spirit, and with 10 parts of ethyl cellulose in 100 parts of methylated spirit.  Brushed on to sumachtanned grained sheepskin splits and polished with a soft brush, the finish yields a moderately flexible bright bordeaux finish.
