Abstract: 868,927. Sleeved garments. BLACK, J. B. Sept. 29, 1958 [July 6, 1957], No. 21471/57. Class 141 In lining a sleeved garment, the free raw edge of the sleeve lining 19 is positioned at the armhole under the folded edge 22 of the body lining 23 prior to machine-stitching the two linings together. The sleeve lining may first be tacked at 21 to the interlining 14 and padding 15 and to a fabric strip 17 located at those portions of the armhole edge where no padding or interlining is provided, so that the stitching 21 does not show on the exterior of the garment. The armhole edge of the body lining 23, which may be reinforced by a bias-cut strip (not shown), is then folded and stitched at 24 to the sleeve lining. Straps for supporting inner pockets, Fig. 7 (not shown), may be secured in the seam 24.

Title: Hydraulic Transmission with Speed Control
IPC: F16H43/00
Filed: 1968-05-08
Abstract: 1,179,071. Hydrostatic transmissions. BORG-WARNER CORP. 8 May, 1968 [26 June, 1967], No. 21861/68. Heading F2D. [Also in Division D1] A hydrostatic transmission, for driving a washing machine comprises a fixed-capacity pump supplying a variable-capacity motor through a throttle valve, with which is associated a by-pass valve operating to maintain a constant pressure drop across the throttle valve whereby the liquid supply to, and the speed of the motor are directly proportional to the flow area through the throttle valve. As shown an electric motor 3 controlled by a switch 18 drives a circulating pump 14 and the drive pump 20 which supplies an agitator motor 21 and a spin motor 23 controlled by throttle valves 22, 24 respectively, and an associated common by-pass valve 25. To start the agitator motor 21 switch 18 is adjusted and the speed set by a cam selector 43, 44 which moves the spool element 52 of valve 22 to the right through a lost-motion connection 56 against a loading spring 63. Movement of the valve causes a land 51 to open an annular orifice 66 establishing communication between the pump delivery line 37 and motor supply line 38, as well as with by-pass valve 25. The latter has a spool member 78 loaded by a spring 85 which maintains the desired pressure drop across orifice 66 so that the flow to the motor is proportional to the area of the orifice. The spin motor 23 is similarly controlled by the selector valve 24 of the same general construction as valve 22 and set by a cam 44A, but the valve spool carries an additional land 97 which, when the valve closes after the motor is cut off, restricts the connection to exhaust 28 through a groove 98 so that pressure builds up in the pipeline 107 to produce hydraulic braking of the basket 11.

The said hydrogel may be first chemically activated with, e.g. cyanogen bromide, thiosphosgene or carbodiimide, before being contacted with the biologically active molecule, e.g. human serum albumin, heparin, streptokinase or prostaglandin #-1. In another embodiment, the hydrogel is chemically activated, contacted with a solution of a second reactable compound which provides an intermediate chemical arm when bonded to the activated surface of the hydrogel, the second reactable compound is then activated and the biologically active molecule is bonded to the resulting activated surface.

Filed: 1926-09-13
Abstract: 258,289. I. G. Farbenindustrie Akt.- Ges. Sept. 11, 1925, [Convention date]. Urea-formaldehyde condensation products are formed in an aqueous solution in which pH is continuously maintained at a practically constant value between 4 and 7 with the aid of a buffer compound; the water is then removed by evaporation, preferably in vacuo, while keeping the temperature, at least in the latter stage below 50‹ C. Buffer compounds mentioned are mono- and disodium phosphates, potassium bioxalate, and mixtures of acetic acid and sodium acetate, of citric acid and sodium citrate, and of boric acid and sodium acetate. Generally from 2 to 3 molecular proportions of formaldehyde are employed for each molecular proportion of urea. The products may be hardened at a temperature of 50-100‹ C. and used for the production of plates, prisms, lenses, &c. When employed in the production of lacquers, the solvent required, e.g. ethylene chlorhydrin is advantageously added before condensation takes place. An example is given in which a mixture of mono- and di-sodium phosphate is used as a buffer agent. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) refers also to sodium bitartrate as a buffer compound and includes two examples in which the use of sodium acetate with acetic acid and of trisodium phosphate with chloracetic acid as buffer agents is described. The employment of ethylene glycol mono-methyl and mono-ethyl ethers as lacquer solvents is also mentioned. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
