Title: Method of impregnating wood with corrosive sublimate
IPC: B27K3/52
Filed: 1930-10-21
Abstract: 363,760. Preserving wood. BUBLA, K., 57, Kopernikova, Pilsen, Czecho-Slovakia. Oct. 21, 1930, No. 31615. [Class 140.] A method for preserving wood by impregnation with mercuric chloride consists in the use, either before or at the same time as impregnation with mercuric chloride, of solutions of salts of alkali or alkaline earth metals, salts of aluminium or ammonium, or esters of inorganic acids, which themselves have no preservative effect but which diminish the effect of the wood in fixing the mercury salt and hindering its penetration. Chlorinated derivatives of the aliphatic or alicyclic series may also be used, and substances having an acid reaction may be added, such as acetic acid. The wood may be treated prior to impregnation with mercuric chloride with one or more of the substances specified, either by impregnation or by passing vapours of the substances over the wood. Several of the substances may be used in succession. When materials having considerable affinity for the constituents of the wood which absorb the mercury salt are used, for instance, aluminium salts, they may be mixed with the mercury salt solution. In examples : (I) Wood is first dipped into a warm solution of aluninium sulphate and acetic acid, and then treated with mercuric chloride in the usual way. (2) Wood is treated with a solution containing both mercuric chloride and the materials specified in example (1). (3) Wood is exposed for 15 minutes to vacuum, treated for several hours with vapours of diethyl sulphate and hydrochloric acid, and then impregnated with a solution of mercuric chloride and ammonium chloride.

IPC: B64C23/00
Filed: 1965-07-28
Abstract: 1,069,173. Air cushion vehicles. G. T. COCKSEDGE. July 28, 1965, No. 32346/65. Heading B7K.  An air cushion vehicle for operation over water comprises a base platform and superstructure 1 connected to three laterally spaced buoyant hulls 7, which form side-by-side plenum chambers (9) and (10), the buoyancy of the hulls being such that there is always a volume of air trapped between the base platform and the water surface. The forward and rear ends of each plenum chamber are closed by a hinged bow plate 13 and a hinged stern plate 15 respectively. The bow plates are urged downwardly by springs 21 against tie wires 21a and mechanism is provided (Fig. 4, not shown) for moving the plates bodily fore and aft so as to vary the position of the centre of lift with respect to the centre of gravity of the craft. Similar mechanism (Fig. 8, not shown) is provided for the stern plates. Further mechanism (Fig. 7, not shown) enables the stern plates to be moved up and down differentially or in unison for controlling the rearward discharge of air from the plenum chambers for propulsion and lateral control purposes. A plurality of ganged rudders 17 at the rear ends of the plenum chambers is controlled by mechanism operated by rudder pedals (Fig. 6, not shown). The superstructure of the vehicle is formed with an air intake 3 housing a fan 4 which delivers air into the plenum chambers through adjustable vanes 11 which may be operated individually or collectively (Fig. 5, not shown). Each outer hull is formed with a valved port 70, whereby cushion air may be discharged to provide lateral control. One or more fan installations may be provided for each plenum chamber and control in roll may be achieved by differential control of the fan outputs or by differential adjustment of the stern plates. It is stated that co-ordinated adjustment of the pressures in the plenum chambers and of the rudders 17 will enable the craft to execute a banked turn. The bow plates 13 may be moved bodily forward until they come into contact with stops 62 and are thereby raised about pivots 14 to enable cushion air to escape forwardly and thereby propel the vehicle rearwardly, lateral control being effected by operation of valves 70.

Abstract: 1,211,153. Cathode starters for electrodeposition. CONSOLIDATED TIN SMELTERS Ltd. July 4, 1969 [July 6, 1968], No.32370/68. Heading C7B. A cathode starter, on which a metal is recovered during extraction or refining by electrodeposition, comprises a plurality of wire helius or chains, preferably all the same length, suspended from a conducting support bar e.g. by being pushed over conducting studs screwed into the bar. Alternatively, equal lengths of chain, preferably non- welded "curb" chain, may be attached to a connecting strip fixed to a conducting support bar; two rows of chains may be suspended parallel to each other along the lower edge of a connecting strip. Lengths of chain may also be fixed to the strip to hang freely in a vertical plane and lengths of chain having a smaller link size threaded through the links of the first lengths of chain parallel to the strip with their ends held by metal rods inserted through the first and last link of each length of first chain, to form a "trace" chain. The cathode starter may be of iron, mild or stainless steel for deposition of Sn, Pb, Zn, Bi, Cd or Cu; or of Ti, Ta, Nb or W for deposition of Cu, Ni, Ag or Mn. The wire helius or chains may be coated with Ti. A plurality of cathode starters may be connected together as an endless belt, each in turn passing through an electrodeposition tank, a rinse tank, a drier and a "melting-off" unit. Such a cathode starter avoids spongy deposits leading to drag-out losses and dross formation on melting, needle growth leading to short-circuiting and blistering. To compensate for the increased surface area, the anode surface may be corrugated.
