Title: Improvements in or relating to the locking in closed positions of a plurality of drawers, desks, tables, cabinets, chests of drawers and like furniture
IPC: E05B65/46
Filed: 1953-05-20
Abstract: 724,486. Multiple fastenings. ABBOTT, S. N. May 20,1953, No. 14119/53. Addition to 675,814. Class 44. An improvement in or modification of the invention claimed in claim 1 of the parent Specification is characterised in that the or each locking bar 15 is spring influenced by a helical compression spring 22 disposed around the bar and confined between a stop 23 formed or provided thereon and a member 18 wherein one end of the bar is slidably located. The operating members 5 movable by the key drawer 4, each have slots 6, 6a slidably engaging screws 9, 9a secured to an inner wall of the desk pedestal and each one urged to the drawer opening position shown, by a helical spring 10 anchored to the screw 9 and a lug 11 on the member 5. An inclined cam slot 7 in the member 5 engages with a transverse rod 19, the ends of which engage in slots in the locking bars 15. As the drawer is moved to its closed position the cam slot will allow the rod 19 to rise and thus the bars 15 will rise under the action of the springs 22 so that projecting pins 16 will engage in catch members 12 of the drawers 3.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the polymerisation of esters of methacrylic acid
IPC: C08F20/12
Filed: 1947-05-29
Abstract: Polymeric material of molecular weight 14,000-40,000 and free from discolouration and unmoulding tendencies is prepared by forming an aqueous dispersion of a monomeric saturated aliphatic alcohol ester of methacrylic acid alone or with up to 20 per cent of one or more other polymerizable compounds, together with 0.005 to 1.0 per cent by weight of the monomer, of benzoyl peroxide, at a temperature not greater than 80 DEG  C., raising the temperature rapidly to 110 DEG C. and completing the polymerization between 110 DEG  C. and the depolymerization temperature of the polymer formed; the process being controlled so that the monomeric material is not in contact with the benzoyl peroxide for more than 15 minutes within the temperature range 40 DEG  to 110 DEG  C., nor for more than 10 minutes within the range 80 DEG  to 110 DEG  C.  When using methyl methacrylate, the dispersion is preferably formed below 40 DEG  C. Other esters specified are ethyl, propyl and butyl methacrylates. The other polymerizable compounds include styrene, vinyl acetate, vinyl ketones, ethyl and butyl acrylates and fumaric and itaconic esters. Dispersing and granulating agents, e.g. partial sodium salt of polymethacrylic acid, octadecyl and stearyl alcohols, may be employed.  Dyes, plasticisers, pigments, mould lubricants, inhibitors and mould lubricants may be added before or after polymerization. Heating of the dispersion should be uniform between the temperature range 40-110 DEG  C. and the major proportion of the polymerization should occur above 110 DEG  C.  External cooling may be applied as the peak temperature is approached.  The polymers may be malaxated to decrease their molecular weights. The products, which are soluble in chloroform, may be compression or injection moulded.

Title: Textile and other materials of organic polymers
IPC: D06P1/645
Filed: 1953-05-21
Abstract: Coloured textiles or films of cellulose esters or ethers or of polyethylene terephthalate are given an improved resistance to acid-fading by incorporating therein tetrabenzyl-methylenediamine. The diamine may be incorporated in the dyebath or printing paste or in the spinning solution from which the products are spun. Alternatively, the diamine may be incorporated in a lubricant or size for the treatment of the textiles, or the dyed textiles may be treated with a solution of the diamine in, for example, benzene or toluene or with an aqueous emulsion of the type described in Specification 665,401, which contains the diamine.  Examples are given in which cellulose acetate fabric is dyed from a bath containing in addition to the diamine, the blue dye 1-(beta-hydroxyethylamino) - 4 - methylamino - anthraquinone, turkey red oil, green soap and potassium pyrophosphate.ALSO:The tendency of dyeings on fibres and films of cellulose esters and ethers or of polyethylene terephthalate to exhibit acid-fading is reduced by incorporating tetrabenzyl-methylene diamine in the solutions from which the products are spun.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the treatment of hydrocarbon material for the purpose of removing carbon bisulphide therefrom
IPC: C07C7/148
Filed: 1933-05-22
Abstract: Hydrocarbons especially benzole and similar coal tar distillates are freed from carbon disulphide and free sulphur by treating with a reagent containing polysulphides of ammonia, in which there is present ammonium disulphide and free ammonia and preferably also ammonium monosulphide.  The reagent is made by mixing 500 gms. of sulphur with 10 litres of a 15 per cent solution of ammonia and treating with sulphuretted hydrogen in a quantity insufficient to combine with all the ammonia.  Benzol is agitated at ordinary temperatures with this reagent in counterflow, and the purified benzol is then washed with (first) a used wash water and finally fresh water.  The wash waters are mixed with the spent reagent containing ammonium perthiocarbonate and possibly thiocarbonate and thiocyanate and then distilled to recover some carbon disulphide, together with ammonia and sulphuretted hydrogen which are absorbed in water to yield ammonium hydrosulphide or ammonium sulphide and free ammonia forming the regenerated reagent.  The aqueous residue consisting of ammonium thiocyanate and free sulphur is decanted to remove the sulphur which is added to the regenerated agent, and the ammonium thiocyanate is recovered by evaporating the solution.ALSO:Hydrocarbons especially benzol and similar coal tar distillates are freed from carbon disulphide and free sulphur by treating with a reagent containing polysulphides of ammonia in which there is present ammonium disulphide and free ammonia, and preferably also ammonium monosulphide.

Abstract: 1,158,758. Riveting. NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO. 3 April, 1967 [16 May, 1966], No. 15053/67. Heading B3U. [Also in Division B2] A method of coating the abutting surfaces between a fastener and a hole in a workpiece in which the fastener is to be secured, comprises the steps of placing a rupturable membrane carrying a mass of coating material over the hole, inserting the fastener into the hole causing it to penetrate through the membrane and the mass of coating material so as to transfer the coating material to the said abutting surfaces. In Fig. 1 the workpiece 10 consists of two metal plates 12 and 14 supported on a work bed 16, which is part of an automatic fastener inserting machine 18. The workpiece is provided with a fastener hole 20 which is shaped to receive a rivet 22. The mass of coating material 24 is carried on the carrier means 26 which is supported on pairs of sprocket wheels such as 36 and 38 which are rotatably mounted in the framework of the machine 18. The wheel 36 is intermittently driven by suitable driving means 40 so that the coating material 24 is carried in juxtaposition relative to the fastener hole 20. A fastener insertion machine 18 also includes suitable fastener delivery means 42 which is effective to position the rivet by the ram 44 operatively connected to the driving means 40. As the ram ascends the rivet 22 is carried downwardly, punctures the membrane and the coating material is thereby carried into engagement with the film surfaces of a fastener hole 20.
