Paper is rendered water resistant by coating with a coating solution comprising polyvinyl alcohol and clay as a pigment, and then treating the coated paper with an aqueous solution of borax which is said to react with the polymer causing gellation. The polyvinyl alcohol may be completely or partially saponified and the derivative may be a vinyl alcohol-vinyl ether copolymer. The pigment may 'be clay. Oxides, hydroxides and carbonates of metals in Groups II, III, IV of the Periodic Table e.g. calcium carbonate, hydroxide, basic magnesium carbonates, zinc oxide or satin white may be included in the coating solution. Water-soluble alkali metal salts of amphoteric compounds of one or more of aluminium, zinc, tin, lead, titanium e.g. sodium aluminate, zincate, plumbite, stamate and/or water soluble alkali silicates e.g. water glass obtained by the reaction of sodium or potassium oxide with silicon dioxide, may be added to the coating solution, or applied in the form of a solution to the coated paper before or after treatment with borax. A latex such as styrene-butadiene or oxylate copolymer, melamine resin, urea resin, glyoxal resin may be used in the coating solution. The pH of the coating solution may be so controlled as to vary the water-resistance of the coated paper, e.g. by adding an alkaline substance. After drying the products may be supercalendered.

Abstract: 1,055,483. Pivoting doors. WILLIAM NEWMAN & Sons. Ltd. June 22, 1965 [April 11, 1964; Aug. 27, 1964], Nos. 15051/64 and 35077/64. Heading E2F. A door 5 is mounted on the depending spindle of a door closer mounted in the lintel by a method requiring the two parts, pin 19 and socket 24, of the bottom pivot (Fig. 5) to be held in rotatable engagement to form a selfcontained pivot and socket unit. The method involves mounting the door closer in the lintel, fixing a fitting to the closer spindle for engagement in a groove in the top edge of the door, and fixing the pivot and socket unit to the door by means of screws 23 through a plate 21. The door is then tilted and moved to engage the fitting in the groove, the fitting is fixed in the groove by screws, the door moved into the required position and the pivot and socket unit screwed to the floor as at 17. The bottom pivot unit shown in Fig. 5 consists of a domed nylon pin 19 on a metal plate 15, and having an integral peg 20 engaged in a corresponding socket 25 formed integrally with a metal plate 21, The two parts are held together by friction between the peg and its socket 25 or the peg 20 may be bulbous and "snap" into a correspondingly bulbous socket 25. In alternative embodiments (Figs. 9-13, not shown) the pin and socket are wholly cylindrical, the pin having a radial groove engaged by a grub screw threaded in the socket or a pin traversing a chord of the socket, or a circlip engaged with the socket either frictionally or in a corresponding radial groove therein.

Title: Improvements in or relating to metal-sheathed electric cables
Inventor: PENROSE JAMES RONALD
IPC: B21C37/15
Filed: 1955-05-25
Abstract: 782,535. Sheathing electric cables; corrugating. PIRELLI-GENERAL CABLE WORKS, Ltd. April 20, 1956 [May 25, 1955], No. 15060/55. Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4). [Also in Group XXXVI] An electric cable is made by introducing the core 1 into a metal sheath 2 of larger diameter and then forming in the sheath two or more flutes 10 which project inwardly to bear on the cone. The cable extends through a central aperture in a plate 4 carrying rollers 6 in bearing brackets 5. Each roller has a circumferential groove 7 round which extends a rib 9, and the rollers are positioned so that adjacent bevels 8 bear against each other so that the sheath is completely encircled. The cable is drawn through the rollers to form the flutes 10, which may be made helical by relative rotation between the cable and the plate 4. The ribs 9 may be adjustable to allow for different depths of flute, in which case each roller comprises two elements 24 rotatable about a fixed axle 25. A ring 26 between the elements is mounted on an eccentric portion 27 of the axle 25, and constitutes the flute-forming rib. The axle 25 is angularly adjustable in its bearing bracket 20 and may be locked in a desired position. The ring 26 extends beyond the surface of the groove 7 at one point on its periphery, and does not project at a point diametrically opposite thereto, hence, by adjusting axle 25, the degree of projection of the ring 26 at the point at which it encounters the sheath 2 may be varied from the maximum to zero. The ring 26 is retained between the elements 24 by screws and nuts 32 provided with distance pieces 33. The bearing brackets 20 are so mounted that they may be tilted slightly to the axis of the cable if helical flutes are to be made, the degree of tilt being shown on scale 34.

Abstract: 1387791 Particulate polymer colorants E I DU PONT DE NEMOURS & CO 29 March 1973 [1 Sept 1972 14 March 1973] 15186/73 Headings C3F and C3P [Also in Division G2] Colorants of predictable reflection density comprise a mixture of at least one inert powder selected from organic and silicone compounds having an average particle size of 1 to 1000 microns and at least two particulate pigmented resins having different reflection densities. The colorants are preferably made by mixing said pigmented resins together, at least one of said pigmented resins containing at least one said inert powder before mixing. The inert powder may be of polyethylene, cellulose acetate, oxygenated Fischer-Tropsch wax, polyolefin, powdered starch, polyvinyl alcohol, polymethyl methacrylate, polyethyl methacrylate or a silicone. The particulate pigmented resins may comprise pigment imbedded in or milled with polyvinyl chloride, cellulose acetate, cellulose acetate butyrate, polystyrene, polymethyl. methacrylate, polyvinyl alcohol, methyl cellulose or carboxymethyl cellulose. The particles may be blended to produce colorants having observed reflection densities within 10% of the predicted reflection densities, calculated from the reflection densities and volume concentrations of the components. The colorants may be used to develop images in photopolymerized elements. Examples describe colorants prepared by mixing pigmented particulate cellulose acetate toners of high and low strengths, the high strength toners being preblended with (2, 3 and 12) polyethylene powder; (4, 15 and 16) oxidized Fischer-Tropsch wax powder, together with (5 and 9) polyethylene powder or (8) polymethyl methacrylate beads; (6) cellulose acetate powder; (7 and 14) polymethyl methacrylate beads; (11) polyethylene and cellulose acetate powders and (13) polymethyl methacrylate beads coated with octadecyl alcohol.

Abstract: 1365506 Chain terminators in the preparation of acrylonitrile copolymers IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd 17 May 1972 [17 May 1971] 15265/71 Heading C3P Copolymers of acrylonitrile containing 50-95 mole per cent of acrylonitrile units and 50-5 mole per cent of randomly distributed units of at least one olefine having aromatic character, are obtained by polymerization of the monomers in the presence of at least one alkane thiol of boiling point 100 C. or less at atmospheric pressure and also at least one thiol of boiling point greater than 100 C. at atmospheric pressure, the first mentioned thiol being continuously added with monomer feed at a rate determined by the rate of polymerization. Thiols of B.Pt. 100 C. or less are methane-, ethane-, 1-propane-, 2-propane-, 1-butane-, and 2-butanethiols; those with a B.Pt. greater than 100 C. are 1-, 2-, or 3-pentane-, 1-hexane-, 1-heptane-, primary-, secondary- and tertiary octane-, tertiary non- ane-, 1-decane-, secondary undecane-, and primary and secondary dodecane thiols. Examples of olefins having an aromatic character are styrene, and its alphamethyl-, o-methyl-, m-methyl-, p-methyl-, m-hydroxy-, p-trimethylsilyl-, 2,5-dimethyl-, p-methoxy-, p-dimethylamino-, or -dibromo-, and p-acetamido derivatives; 1-vinyl naphthalene, 2-vinyl thiophene, 3-vinylphenanthrene, 2-methyl-5-vinyl pyridine and N-vinylcarbazole. The copolymers are mouldable and since they are odourless and tasteless, are useful for packaging foodstuffs, and medicines. In the example, acrylonitrile and styrene are copolymerized in aqueous emulsion using ammonium persulphate as initiator and ammonium dodecyl benzene sulphonate as emulsifier. The two thiols are octane-1-thiol and propane-1-thiol, the latter being continuously supplied with styrene. Sodium dimethyl dithiocarbamate is used as a moderator. The reaction is short stopped. Bottles are moulded from the resultant polymers.
