Title: Improvements in and relating to golf clubs
IPC: A63B53/04
Filed: 1945-10-08
Abstract: 599,655. Golf clubs. ALLISON, H. P. Oct. 8, 1945, No. 26115. [Class 132 (ii)] In an adjustable golf club of the kind in which the head is rotatably attached to the shaft by means of a shank on the head passing through a sleeve on the shaft socket and being clamped thereto by a nut screwed on the shank, the head and the sleeve having radially engaging teeth, ball bearings are interposed between the nut and the sleeve, and the inner face of the nut is formed with cams which, on 90 degrees rotation of the nut, advance the balls and thus the sleeve so that the teeth of the head and sleeve engage. When the nut 13 is retracted through 90 degrees the balls 17 ride to the bottom of the cams allowing three spring-loaded ball-bearings 4 to force apart the head 9 and sleeve 3 thus enabling the blade to be rotated. A back-plate 14 is held in place by a keepscrew 15, and a stop, protruding radially from the shaft 10, rides in a slot in the inner surface of the sleeve 3 to limit the amount of angular adjustment.

Steering and balancing ; planes, construction of.-An aeroplane provided with a pendulous mass, such as the pilot's chair, so as to control the lateral and longitudinal balance automatically, through the usual universally mounted hand lever, has means for freeing the hand lever from the automatic control to enable the controls to be actuated manually. Upwardly opening valves may be provided near the leading edge of the plane adapted to be raised together or separately bv manual means which, when both valves are raised, can be coupled to the automatic means for controlling the elevator and ailerons. A chair 16 suspended from a universal joint 17 has a downwardly projecting rod 28 normally connected by a bar 30 to the lower end of a control lever 18 which actuates the ailerons and elevator through cables 5<a>, 7<a>. The rod 28 is connected by three normally slack cables 17<a> passing through holes in a fixed ring 19 to an outer ring 20. When the ring 20 is rotated about the ring 19 by a cable 22 actuated by a handlever 26, the cables 17a are drawn taut to centre the rod 28, and simultaneously a cable 29 passing through the control lever 18 is slackened to lower the bar 30 out of engagement with the lever 18. Fig. 12 shows a modification in which the ailerons and elevator are controlled by nods 5, 7 connected to a lever 4a universally jointed at the same point as the chair frame 16. When automatic operation is desired a bolt 34 is raised into engagement with a recess 37 in the lever 4a. Fig. 7 shows a valve flap 12 adapted to be raised against the pull of a spring 14 to open a passage through the plane near each tip and adjacent to the leading edge.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a process for the preparation of copolymers of aromatic vinyl hydrocarbons and alkyd resins
Inventor: KLEU HANS
IPC: C08F212/14
Filed: 1952-10-23
Abstract: Styrenated oil-modified alkyd resins are obtained by heating pre-determined proportions of (a) one or more copolymers of styrene or a substitution product or derivative thereof, e.g. halogenated styrene or a -methyl styrene, with an unsaturated fatty oil acid and/or a polyhydric alcohol ester thereof, and (b) one or more unsaturated fatty oil acids and/or polyhydric alcohol esters of these acids, with one or more polybasic acids, e.g. phthalic or maleic acid, with or without one or more polyhydric alcohols, e.g. glycerol or pentaerythritol.  The fatty oil acid or ester copolymers may be prepared by alcoholising an oil copolymer with a polyhydric alcohol, by reacting styrene with monoglycerides, or by reacting styrenated fatty acids with polyhydric alcohols.  In a modification the polybasic acid or acids are first reacted with the copolymer (a), with or without one or more polyhydric alcohols as may be necessary to form an alkyd resin containing free hydroxyl groups, which is then esterified with predetermined proportions of (b).  The copolymer may be formed from a mono-ester of the polyhydric alcohol and may be prepared from semi-drying oils or their acids, e.g. linseed, sunflower and soyabean.  The fatty oil acids (b) may be of high oxidative drying power such as those of wood oil and isomerised or blown linseed oil.  In examples a styrene-varnish linseed oil copolymer is reacted with glycerol, the product heated with phthalic anhydride and glycerol with a phosphoric acid catalyst, and finally heated with wood oil.

In an A.C. voltage regulator of the kind disclosed in Specification 786,218 in which the output of a saturable reactor bridge is connected in series with the supply, a further saturable reactor is connected in shunt across the output diagonal of the bridge, so that when the bridge is balanced and hence contributing no output, it can be effectively short-circuited, thus reducing waveform distortion and phase shift. As the bridge output increases, the impedance of the shunt reactor is increased so as to have a negligible effect when the bridge output is a maximum. The shunt reactor and. the bridge balancing reactors may either be controlledmanually; or the bridge may be controlled automatically as in Specification 820,370, in which case the shunt reactor is controlled by the output of a pair of magnetic amplifiers which are differentially controlled by the two magnetic amplifiers which control the bridge balance.

As shown the socket member 16 and spigot member 27 are connected to the brake pipes 12, 13, of a tractor and trailer respectively and the sleeve 14 is held stationary by a clamp 22 fixed to the tractor. If the trailer breaks away, the pull on the pipe 13 pulls the spigot and socket members 27, 17, against spring 32 relative to the sleeve 14 until the balls 27 reach their releasing recess 33 when the spigot becomes uncoupled and the valve 37 automatically closes. Uncoupling may also be performed by actuation of a cam lever 25 pivotally connected at 24 to rods 21 attached to a collar 18 clamped to the socket 16, the end of the lever engaging against the side of sleeve 22 so that the socket 16 is pulled to the right against spring 32 by a camming action.

Title: Improvements in methods and apparatus for manufacturing pneumatic tyres
IPC: B29D30/06
Filed: 1939-10-04
Abstract: 531,815. Pneumatic tyres. UNITED STATES RUBBER CO. Oct. 4, 1939, No. 27146. Convention date, Oct. 27, 1938. [Class 87 (ii)] Curing bags are withdrawn from tyres after vulcanization by a pivoted hook which is automatically inserted between the bag and the tyre and retracted. The tyres containing the bags are dropped from a horizontal conveyer, one at a time, into the position 5 on an inclined conveyer 28, where they are held by a pivoted arm 29 as long as the preceding tyre is in the position 6. As soon as one tyre moves from position 6, a switch 40 is operated to cause the piston 30 to move the arm 29 away from the next tyre and allow it to move to position 6, where it is held by a stop 38. The hook 48 pivoted at 49 on a frame 46 is then advanced by a piston 44 so that it is inserted between the tyre and bag in position 6 and a roller 57 on the end of a rod 55 is moved downwards behind the hook so that the hook becomes pressed around the bags sufficiently to bring the bag with it when it is withdrawn. The roller 57 is moved upwardly again to allow the hook to be withdrawn. As the hook is withdrawn a switch is operated to raise the stop 38 by means of the piston 39 and the tyre drops on to a conveyer 70 while the bag drops on to a conveyer 10. A switch 34 operated by a tyre prevents operation of the release mechanism of the horizontal conveyer as long as a tyre is in the 5 position.
