Title: Apparatus for playing a ball game
IPC: A63F7/06
Filed: 1928-11-09
Abstract: 324,992. Kadrewell. H. W., and Lempriere, S. R. Nov. 9, 1928. Table games.-Apparatus for playing a table game in imitation of a field game employing a goal is of the type comprising a table having a series of openings corresponding to player positions and a series of ball-propelling members adapted selectively to be projected upwards through the openings to propel the ball and normally resting below the table, and has some of the ball-propelling members adapted to direct the ball for passing to another player position and others adapted for propelling at the goal. A hollow box A has a top B marked out with the lines usually employed in the game and is preferably very slightly cupped so that the ball tends to roll towards the centre of the field. Holes b, c are formed in the table to represent positions of players, the holes c representing the positions of goal-shooting forwards and the holes b of other players who pass to the forwards. Very narrow shallow grooves d are formed from one player position to another to facilitate passing. Corresponding to each hole b there is a foot-lever e carrying a boot h which is actuated by a corresponding spring-returned plunger f. Corresponding foot-levers and plungers are provided for taking corners. Corresponding to each hole c there is a boot carried by the lever l and actuated through the cable m by the handle n. Goal-keepers p are mounted on rods q capable of being rocked by handles r. The field is formed with an encircling fence s of strands of rubber elastic. Any suitable form of coin-freed apparatus may be used for releasing a ball.

Title: Improvements relating to means for tuning angle-modulated carrier wave receivers
IPC: H03G3/28
Filed: 1946-11-06
Abstract: 625,449. Frequency modulation ; radio receiving circuits. MARCONI'S WIRELESS TELEGRAPH CO., Ltd. Nov. 6, 1946, No. 32931. Convention date, Nov. 6, 1945. [Class 40 (v)] In a frequency modulation receiver wherein audio-indication is given of correct tuning, a limiter tube 4 is arranged to provide an interstation noise squelch voltage which can be utilized to render an audio amplifying tube 37 non-conductive when the receiver is detuned from the incoming signal. As the F.M. signal amplitude at input circuit 3 increases a voltage is developed across R1, dependent on the amplitude of the F.M. signal energy, which proportionately biasses the grid 8 of the limiter tube 4. Since the plate current of tube 4 varies inversely to the voltage across R1, the voltage developed across a resistance R2 will also vary inversely to that of R1. This voltage is applied to the grid of the output tube 37 in that when tuned to the centre frequency, i.e. maximum amplitude of F.M. signal energy, no extra bias is applied to the grid 36, but when off-tune, extra bias is applied so as to mute the tube between stations. Specification 489,094 is referred to.

Title: Method and Apparatus for the Manufacture of a Fancy Yarn
IPC: D02G3/34
Filed: 1968-07-11
Abstract: 1,198,948. Spinning yarns; twisting tubes and spindles. SOC. MOULINAGE ET RETORDERIE DE CHAVANOZ. 11 July, 1968 [20 July, 1967; 22 Nov., 1967; 14 March, 1968; 29 March, 1968], No. 33200/68. Headings DID, D1F and D1W. In a method of making fancy e.g. looped, undulated or knapped, yarn, core and effect threads are combined by false-twisting with the effect thread overfed e.g. 10-300%, relative to the core and then, before the disappearance of the false-twist, the assembly is bound (optionally, also by false-twisting) with a binding thread applied, optionally with overfeed, at the instant of locking or arresting the false-twist i.e. at the point in the yarn from which twist runs forwards and backwards in opposite direction. The rate of overfeed of the effect thread may be continuously or intermittently variable. The effect thread may be distributed irregularly over the core thread as a result of its oscillation in a direction parallel to the core as it is fed in a direction normal to the direction of advance of the core thread. As shown in Fig. 1, core thread 1 is fed, simultaneously with effect thread 2, into a false-twist device comprising a hollow spindle 3 having a driving whorl 4 surmounted by an uptwister flyer 5 freely rotatable on the spindle head and carrying an eyelet 6 through which binding thread 7, supplied from a bobbin 8 rotating with the spindle, passes with the threads 1, 2, to take-up. In a modification, Fig. 2 (not shown) the effect thread 2 is fed by driven nip rollers (10, 11) normally to the direction of advance of the core thread 1 and is oscillated by a finger (12): the rolls may be rotated at continuously variable speed which may at intervals be abruptly reduced to zero. Irregular and intermittent overfeed may be controlled by a programmer (25) Fig. 3 (not shown) which selects which of two different speed drives is transmitted via a clutch plate (17 or 18) to a counter-plate (16) carried on a spindle mounting driven rolls (14, 15) for advancing an effect thread to the running core thread on the entry side of a falsetwist spindle. A fixed ring carrying a traveller or a double-twist spindle as described in British Specification No. 921205 may be used to combine the threads. As shown in Fig. 4, core thread 1 is withdrawn under high tension from a bobbin 34 and, as it travels through an effect thread 2 which is overfed by controlled rollers 37, 38. The thread assembly travels on to a bar 40 secured to a rotating plate 39 and is associated with a binding thread 7 in a false-twisting device constituted by a hollow tube 41 carrying a thread deflector 42 and guides 43, 44. Binding thread 7 is withdrawn from a bobbin 45 mounted on a fixed bobbin carrier 46 immobilised by magnets 47, 48, and having an axial conduit 49 serving for the passage of thread 7. The composite yarn leaves through the hollow spindle 50 of the tube 41 and is wound on a bobbin 51.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of compositions of or containing rubber or the like
IPC: C09D107/00
Filed: 1931-12-07
Abstract: Vulcanizable easily spreadable rubber compositions are made by mixing comminuted rubber with a rubber solvent preferably having rubber in solution, and mechanically working this viscous mixture with a lubricant such as soaps or alkaline casein solutions until it is converted into an easily spreadable condition.  The rubber solvent preferably contains about equal amounts of pure rubber and rubber reclaim dissolved therein.  When aqueous dispersions of lubricating agents are used the mechanical working is not carried to the extent that phase invertion results.  In an example, 10 parts crumb rubber are mixed with 50 parts rubber compound solution, a small amount of an aqueous paste of ammonium oleate is now worked in.  A suitable amount of zinc diethyldithiocarbamate in dispersion is added immediately before the mass is spread by the use of trowels wetted with soap solution on to a surface previously treated with an adhesive such as a rubber solution. Vulcanization is carried out by hot water or steam after the organic solvent has dried out.  The composition is suitable for coating the inner surface of tanks &c.
