Title: Improved method of, and means for, loading and unloading yarn relative to dyeing vats
IPC: D06B23/04
Filed: 1953-05-14
Abstract: <PICT:0749376/IV(c)/1> <PICT:0749376/IV(c)/2> <PICT:0749376/IV(c)/3> <PICT:0749376/IV(c)/4> <PICT:0749376/IV(c)/5> <PICT:0749376/IV(c)/6> Apparatus for loading and unloading hanks of yarn relative to dyeing vats includes a carrier having locating notches adapted to fit on to a set of yarn supporting vats and means for passing below the ends of the rods to hold them in place when picked up by the carrier.  In Figs. 1, 2, the hanks of yarn 10 are suspended from rods 11 which are first assembled in a supporting framework 12, 13 the sides of which have round recesses 14 cut into the upper edges into which the ends of the rods 11 are fitted.  To effect a loading operation the underside of the vat lid 20 has a substructure comprising plates 21 which are provided with notches 22 on their bottom edges so that when the lid is lowered the ends of the rods 11 engage in notches 22 and are held in place by bars 25 which are notched at 26 so that the locking is effected by a small endwise movement of the bars.  Endwise movement of the rods 11 is prevented by flanges 30 which also act as guides for the bars 25.  The rods may then be lowered into the dyeing vat and treatment effected after which unloading is effected by reversal of the loading process.  In a modification shown in Figs. 3 and 4 the plates 21 are providing with lugs 31, 32 into which the rods 11 pass, a bar 33 then sliding into the lugs to hold the rods in position.  In a further modification, Figs. 5 and 6, the plates 21 have stiffened pieces 35 to which angle-section rails 36 are hinged and which can be attached to plates 21 to prevent the rods 11 from falling out.

Abstract: 883,959. Masted lift trucks. CONVEYANCER FORK TRUCKS Ltd. July 19, 1960 [April 22, 1959], No. 13769/59. Class 78 (3). To facilitate the loading of a fork lift truck, an extensible member 1 is mounted for pivotal movement between the fork prongs 2 so that when the mast, together with the prongs and the end of the load supported by blades 11, is tilted rearwardly, the member 1 extends beneath the load. In operation the truck is driven up to a crate 12 so that the roller mounted forward edge of the member 1 abuts against the crate, the member 1 is compressed against the action of a spring 6, and the blades 11 attached to the ends of the prongs 2 engage under the crate. The mast, together with the prongs, is then tilted thus tilting the crate and allowing the member 1 to extend thereunder. The prongs are lowered and the truck is moved forward until the member 1 is again compressed and the above operation is repeated. Final movement of the crate on to the prongs is achieved by pushing the crate against a suitable abutment. A roller 10 (Fig. 1, not shown) is provided on a vertical part 9 of the extensible member to bear against the face of the crate when loaded and cause the extensible member to be held in the plane of the prongs. In a modification (not shown) the spring-biased member 1 is replaced by a single or doubleacting hydraulic ram and rollers are mounted on the upper surfaces of the prongs. An hydraulically controlled pusher may be provided to push a load off the prongs.

Patent GB-653186-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to piezoelectric crystal
IPC: H03H9/17
Filed: 1948-05-25
Abstract: 653,186. Piezo-electric crystals. BRUSH DEVELOPMENT CO. May 25, 1948, No. 14109. Convention date, June 17, 1947. [Class 40 (viii)] A crystal element is composed of lithium sulphate monohydrate, lithium selenate monohydrate or mixtures thereof and has a pair of substantially parallel electrodable surfaces perpendicular to the Y axis of the crystal (Fig. 1). Such elements exhibit a large piezo-electric effect on the faces perpendicular to the Y axis due to pressure parallel to the Y axis or due to " hydrostatic pressure " (i.e. pressure applied simultaneously to all faces). If large plates are required they are preferably oriented as in Fig. 2 with one edge face in the 100 plane, whereas if thin bars are required one edge face should lie in the plane of cleavage, i.e. parallel to the 101 face (face 12, Fig. 2). If rectangular plates are not essential it is economical to make the edges parallel to the faces 12 and 16 (Fig. 2). When one side of the element is at +68 degrees to the X axis the coupling with the face shear mode vanishes and when the angle is 23 degrees the movement in the length and width directions is equal. Other orientations may be derived which give minimum coupling between lateral and shear modes or which when right- and lefthanded elements are joined together have their axes of thermal expansion in the same direction. Electrodes of graphite, gold or silver may be used. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also includes the subject-matter of Specification 665,351. Specification 634,775 is referred to. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Convention dates, May 10, 1933 and Feb. 24, 1934. Addition to 403,291. [Class 47 (ii)] Relates to modifications of the apparatus described in the parent Specification for making air foam. As shown in Fig. 1, the generator, constructed as a nozzle 1 for hand manipulation, comprises three converging jets 2 of substantial diameter, and a central jet 17 which are supplied with water under pressure from a hose 8 by a multi-way cock 5 and passages 4, 3, 18. A foaming agent is supplied to the central jet at 16 from a hose 11 by way of a passage 14 in the cock, passage 15, and adjustable valve 19. The impinging jets are broken up and draw in air at the open rear end of the nozzle. The cock can be set to pass water alone to a nozzle 9 instead of to the jets. The connecting pipe 6 serves as a handle for the nozzle, and the hoses 8, 11 are clipped together. The foaming agent is supplied at a slight pressure. In a modification, Fig. 3, the nozzle 1 is bent at 22 to adapt it for pouring foam over the edge of a tank, and the water supply connecting pipe 25 is connected at right angles to the nozzle and is adjustable in length, to facilitate the positioning of the nozzle on the tank. In another modification, Fig. 5, several nozzles 1 arranged as sprinklers in a tank 28 are formed with spreading means, such as curved vanes, and are supplied with water by a common pipe 30, 31, and hydrant 32. Foaming agent is mixed with the water by an ejector 34 in a byepass 33 from the pipe 32, the agent being forced to the ejector from a container 37 by gas pressure from a source 39. In another modification, Fig. 7, the cock controlling the supply of water and foaming agent is embodied in the nozzle 1. The water jets 2 are carried by a fitting 82 and are controlled by a valve member 83 formed with corresponding passages 84. The water is supplied by the port 85 and the foaming agent under pressure by a pipe connected to a central passage 90 in the valve member. The latter is actuated by a lever 89 projecting outside the nozzle. The air enters by ports 99 which can be closed by a sleeve valve 101 connected to the lever 89. In a modification of this construction, the foaming agent is fed in by a water ejector arranged centrally in the valve member.
