Title: Improvements in or relating to a spray gun apparatus and method
IPC: B65C9/22
Filed: 1962-10-05
Abstract: 950,718. Spraying apparatus. HUNTINGDON INDUSTRIES Inc. Oct. 5, 1962 [Nov. 7, 1961], No. 37876/62. Heading B2F. [Also in Division B8] Adhesive is sprayed on the flap of a carton by passing atomizing air from a multiplicity of atomizing orifices of a spray gun in a steady stream, impinging adhesive from a multiplicity of adhesive orifices on the atomizing air stream to atomize the adhesive and carry it to the surface of the carton flap, and stopping the passage of adhesive while maintaining the stream of atomizing air for a predetermined time period in order to clean the tip of the spray head and prevent adhesive from congealing thereon. A spray gun, Fig. 4, having a piston 63 in a cylinder 62 and a needle bar 66 is mounted on the piston rod 65. The spray head 67 has a plurality of spray orifices 68 in each of which a needle, extending from the needle bar 66, is axially movable. Surrounding each spray orifice 68 is an annular air discharge orifice 102. There are two spray guns 26, 33, Fig. .1, for spraying adhesive downwards on the upper flaps of a carton, and two spray guns 37, 34 for spraying adhesive upwards on the lower flaps of a carton. The pistons of the spray guns are controlled from an air line 15 through valves 23, 24, whereby the spray orifices are opened or closed by movement of the needles. Each needle is sealed in the closed position by a spring 95. Atomizing air is conducted to the annular orifice 102 of each spray gun from an air passage 103, which in the case of spray guns 26, 33 is controlled from an atomizing air valve 43. Atomizing air from the spray guns 34, 37 is controlled from a valve 47. An adhesive chamber 105 in each spray gun is connected by an appropriate one of lines 54-57 to a pressurized glue pot 53 which is connected to the source of compressed air through a regulator 52. The valves are controlled by an electric circuit, Fig. 6, which allows for both manual and automatic operation. The former provides a test circuit and for manual test operation contact 116 is open and contacts 141, 143 are closed, thereby shunting limit switches 124 and 137. In automatic operation contact 116 is closed and contacts 141, 143 are open. When a carton flap is placed near the tip of a spray gun the limit switches are operated and the air valves function as described. A lubricator 22 puts oil into the air to lubricate the spray gun parts.

Title: Spectrometer
Inventor: WHITE PETER GORDON
IPC: G01J3/28
Filed: 1970-08-10
Abstract: 1,273,484. Spectrometry. TRW Inc. Aug. 10, 1970 [Dec. 29, 1969], No.38490/70. Heading G2J. [Also in Division G1] In a spectrometer for providing spectral information concerning a scene, a focused spectrum I of the scene is scanned successively by a number of spaced radiation receiving areas, e.g. slits 20, and a photo-cell 24 provides an output signal representing the radiation received by each receiving area during its movement through the image. By mounting the spectrometer in an aeroplane, colour variations or reflected light variations across an expanse of ocean may be investigated. The dispersing element is a grating 14 which produces spectral images of an entrance slit 32 on a rotating disc 38. The slits 20 are arranged radially in the disc and scan through the spectrum I with their axes parallel to the spectral lines. The output from a photo-multiplier 24, as recorded on a pen-recorder 26, is a continuous trace, Fig. 5 (not shown), of spaced spectra (42), each produced by the passage of a slit through the spectrum I. Wavelength calibration is effected by providing alternate slits with two different narrow band pass filters 44, 46. These produce two spikes (4a, 46a) of known wavelength on the trace. Intensity calibration is achieved by using a light source of known intensity, such as a grey card of known reflectivity illuminated by sunlight. A slit may be provided with a polarizing filter 48 to investigate changes in polarization of the received light.

Title: Improvements in or relating to textile machines
IPC: B65H67/06
Filed: 1962-10-11
Abstract: A textile machine comprises in combination a spinning or like machine for producing packages which are rewound in a multi-station winding machine, means to convey packages from the spinning &c. machine to the individual stations of the winding-machine, means to convey exhausted cops and other tubes having a thread-residue from the winding machine, and means to separate the exhausted cops from said other cops and to return the exhausted cops to the spinning machine. Means may also be provided to separate from said other cops those with a residue of predetermined size from those with a residue of less than this size and return the former to the winding machine. Cops produced in a spinning machine 1, Fig. 1, not shown, are conveyed at 7 to be rewound in a winding machine 2.  Used cops from this are conveyed at 9 to a sorting-device 3 which selects those with a residual winding sufficient to justify their return to the winding machine; those which fail the test at 3 pass to a second sorting-device 4.  This allows completely empty cops to pass to a conveyer 9 to a conveyer 10 supplying the spinning machine.  The remaining cops pass to a stripper 6 and thence by conveyers 9a, 10 to the spinning machine.  From the device 3, where those cops with a residual winding sufficient to justify their return to the winding-machine are selected, are passed to means 5 for finding an end and rewinding it as a tip-bunch whence they proceed by conveyers 8, 7 to the winding machine.  In Fig. 2 not shown, a used cop 2d with a winding of sufficient size closes contacts 302 to operate an ejector 305 which transfers the cop to a shoot 306 when it is held by a stop 307.

Title: Treatment of hydrophillic colloid layers
IPC: G03C11/08
Filed: 1974-08-15
Abstract: 1470168 Aftertreatment of photographs KODAK Ltd 15 Aug 1974 [17 Aug 1973] 38974/73 Heading C3G [Also in Division G2] A method of treating a photographic imagebearing hydrophilic colloid layer comprises applying to the layer an aqueous solution of a polymerizable monomer and subsequently polymerizing the monomer in the layer. The method is useful in increasing the resolution and sharpness of the images, e.g. of Lippmann emulsions used in holography to increase the thickness of the image layer to reduce noise to alter the image profile and to render the hologram stable and insensitive to light. The layer to be treated may be either exposed and processed (and in the wet or dried state) or exposed but unprocessed. Suitable monomers are N-vinyl-2- pyrrolidone, acrylic acid and acrylamide. When the colloid is gelatin the aqueous solution may also contain a gelatin hydrogen bond breaking agent, e.g. urea. Polymerization can be effected in the presence of u.v. light or using chemical polymerization agents applied by washing or fuming.
