A long-handled washing brush or mop comprises a brush or mop head to the back of which is secured the upper end of a long rigid handle formed by a tube of substantial diameter, and a liquid supply tube of small diameter which extends axially through the handle and is connected at its upper end to the brush or mophead and at its lower end is secured in an axial bore in a fitting at the lower end of the handle tube, the fitting being turned from a bar of the same diameter as the external diameter of the handle tube, with its upper part turned down to be a push-in fit in the handle and to leave a shoulder which fits against and is secured to the end of the handle tube, and the lower part of the fitting being turned down to receive the end of the bore and preferably being formed with peripheral grooves for the hose to grip in. The pipe which conveys the water may be made of aluminium or light alloy. The pipe is preferably supported at intervals in the handle by rubber pads or the like to prevent rattle. The handle may be formed of open-seamed tubing. In the Figures bristles a are set in a wooden block b pierced with holes corresponding to the bristle tufts which are retained by wire passed through the holes. The rear face of the block b is closed by a separate back block having a socket to receive the handle h. A skeleton rubber gasket c is fitted against the rear face of the block b. An aluminium or other metal plate d is placed against the gasket c and the assembly is held together by a continuous rubber moulding e of channel section which is sprung over the periphery of the assembly. An inclined aperture is made in the middle of the plate d to receive a water supply pipe f. The gasket c provides a shallow space a between the plate d and the back of the block b so that when water is supplied under pressure through the pipe f water is forced through all the bristles. The handle h is formed by a tube of substantial diameter which is concentric about the water supply pipe f and the upper end of which is secured to the plate d. The handle is preferably of steel and the water supply pipe of aluminium. The lower end of the handle has secured into it a fitting j  which is machined from a bar of the same diameter as the external diameter of the handle. The upper part of the fitting is turned down to be a push-in fit in the handle and to leave a shoulder k which abuts against and is welded to the end of the handle. The lower end of the handle is turned down to receive the end of a hose l and is preferably formed with peripheral grooves m for the hose to grip in. The fitting is bored to receive the lower end of the water-pipe f which extends through the fitting and is welded to it at its lower end. Rubber rings are fitted over the water-pipe within the handle to prevent rattle. Rubber or other sleeves p may be fitted to the lower part of the handle as hand grips.

Patent GB-670546-A (GB)
Title: Process for dyeing tanned fur skins
IPC: D06P3/30
Filed: 1949-08-26
Abstract: Fur skins tanned predominantly or exclusively with chromium compounds (especially chrometanned lamb and sheep skins) are dyed on the finely-fluffed flesh side, with reservation of the wool or hair, by pretreating them with aqueous solutions of capillary active organic compounds and then dyeing them in the presence of capillary active organic compounds (in a fresh bath or in the pretreatment bath) with dyestuffs which have but little affinity for the wool or hair (preferably substantive dyes).  If desired the wool or hair may be dyed the same or a different colour with other dyestuffs (advantageously acetate rayon dyestuffs) in the same or a different bath.  Greater penetration of the leather by the dye may be achieved by adding ammonia to the dye-bath to a pH of at most 9.2, and acidifying the bath, shortly before the ending of the dyeing, to an acidity not exceeding that of pH 3.3.  In examples: (1) chrome-tanned sheep-skins are pretreated with a solution of sulphonated lauryl alcohol and dyed with Solar Brilliant Red BA in the presence of the same capillary active compound; (2) skins are pre-treated as in (1) and dyed in the same bath with Derma Brown R with the addition of a further amount of the capillary-active compound; (3) skins pretreated as in (1) are dyed with Solar Brilliant Red BA in the presence of an alkylarylpolyglycol ether in a bath made alkaline with ammonia to pH 9.0 and afterwards acidified with acetic or formic acid to pH 3.5; (4) skins pre-treated as in (1) are dyed with Derma Brown R for the flesh side and Artisil Direct Grey BLP for the wool, in the presence of the sulphuric acid ester of a mono-fatty-acid glycerol ester. Other suitable capillary active compounds are specified.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91, comprises also the washing of the skins with a fatty alcohol sulphonate solution, followed by rinsing, centrifuging and drying, in cases where the wool shows a slight colouration.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 393,795. Integrating-mechanism. BAILEY METER CO., 1050, Ivanhoe Road, Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Gorrie, H. H. ; 1875, Reyburn Road, Cleveland, and Woolley, R. E. ; 3340, Clayton Boulevard, Shaker Heights, both in Ohio, U.S.A.) Aug. 10, 1932, No. 22402. Convention date, Aug. 10, 1931. [Class 106 (iv).] An integrating-mechanism for meters comprises a normally inoperative integrating element having means under the joint control of the variable being measured and of an independent variable for periodically operating the element. The apparatus comprises a counting mechanism the extent of actuation of which during each measuring interval is controlled in accordance with the value of the variable at a particular instant as modified by the value throughout the interval. As shown applied to the determination of the flow of fluid through a conduit, Fig. 1, a differential pressure meter 5 with a bell 6 actuates an arm 8 on a spindle 7 carrying an indicating and recording pen arm 10 co-operating with a rate of flow scale 11 and a recording disc 12 driven by a constant speed motor 13. The spindle 7 is provided with an arm 9 to which is pivoted one end of a floating lever 28 the other end of which bears on a cam 30 driven by the motor 13. Carried on the lever 28 is a roller 27 adjustably mounted by means of thumb-screws 31, 33, and adapted to engage an arm 26 adjustably connected by a thumb-screw 35 to a clutchreleasing member 23. This member 23 cooperates with a clutch wheel 21 secured to a shaft 17 driving a counting mechanism 15. The shaft 17 is coupled by means of a friction clutch 20 to a shaft connected by bevel gears 18 to the motor-driven shaft 19. The end 14 of the lever 28 moves between the points A, B, for zero and maximum flow respectively and the roller 29 on the other end of the lever moves between the limits of travel C, D, so that the extent of time during which the clutch lever 23 is released is determined by the length of time of the engagement of the roller 27 with the arm 26. In a modification the counting mechanism is driven by a self-starting synchronous motor the circuit to which is controlled by the reciprocations of the floating lever.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a method of and apparatus for measuring conductivities through induction

Filed: 1963-06-06
Abstract: 1,001,379. Resistance measurement. SOC. DE PROSPECTION ELECTRIQUE SCHLUMBERGER. June 6, 1963 [July 7, 1962], No. 22565/63. Headings G1N and G10 In an inductive method of measuring conductivity using a transmitting winding, a receiving winding, an amplifier, and a phase and amplitude detector; the amplifier is fed with a voltage in phase with the current in the transmitter, during a preliminary adjustment period; the phase relationship of the voltage with reference to a first switching voltage applied to the phase and amplitude detector is adjusted to balance out phase changes produced in the amplifier; and then during a measuring period the received signal is applied to the amplifier while the detector is subjected to a second switching voltage which is exactly 90 degrees out of phase with the first switching voltage. Referring to Fig. 1 the current through transmitting winding 17 is derived from a square wave generator 10 which is also used to produce square wave switching voltages at terminals 26a and 26b which are respectively in phase and 90 degrees out of phase with the current in winding 17. In a first adjustment period the voltage across resistance 18 is fed through switch 34 to amplifier 36 and phase sensitive detector 38 which is supplied with a reference phase on line 39. The output of detector 38 passes through switch 40 to amplifier 32 and is used to control a phase shifting stage 30 controlling the phase of the switching voltage passing from terminal 26a through switch 26 to lead 39. Stage 30 is thereby adjusted to compensate for phase change in amplifier 36, and switch 40 is then opened, leaving the voltage stored on capacitor 41 O maintain the connection. In the next adjustment period the feedback of amplifier 36 is adjusted to minimise the input to the amplifier in phase with the current in winding 17. This is done by switch 52 and variable gain amplifier 46 which amplifies the voltage across resistance 18 and the output level of which is controlled by the voltage applied on line 49 and stored on capacitor 50 when switch 52 is opened after the adjustment period. In the final measurement period switch 26 is changed to contact 26b so that detector 38 selects the phase quadrature component of the signal picked up by receiver winding 42 and amplified by amplifier 36, and the output of the detector then passes through switch 54 to a utilisation circuit 58.
