Title: An improvements in or relating to machines for steaming or crabbing textile fabrics
IPC: D06C15/00
Filed: 1933-11-04
Abstract: 424,224. Feeding webs. WILLIAMS, D. R. H., Sunnydale, Edgerton, Huddersfield, and BAILEY, T., Empire Works, Howgate Road, Slaithwaite, near Huddersfield. Nov. 4, 1933, No. 30649. [Class 100 (i)] In a machine for treating fabrics, such as steaming or crabbing the fabrics, in which the fabric is wound under tension about a roller, a displaceable roller is provided about which the fabric is passed on its way to the receiving roller, together with means to indicate, for example, by a pointer and calibrated dial, the amount of movement of the displaceable roller and thus the tension under which the fabric is being wound. In a modification, where the fabric is wound on to a roller along with a wrapper, the latter is passed over the displaceable roller. As shown, a and b are two perforated steaming-rollers, and c a wrapper adapted to be wound first on to one roller and then on to the other. A fabric d is led through a tensioning-device e to the roller a, another fabric f being simultaneously released from the portion of wrapper wound on the roller b. The tightness of the wrapper as it is being wound about either of the steaming-rollers a, b is determined by the application of braking pressure to the other roller. The wrapper c passes over a roller g journalled at each end in a block guided by rollers for vertical movement in a slot in a bracket. A bar carried by the block is connected by springs to a further bar secured to the bracket. Application of tension to the wrapper causes the block to be drawn downwardly against the action of the springs, and this movement is caused to move a pointer over a calibrated dial. The scale on the dial is calibrated to suit different fabrics. A dial may be used at each end of the roller g to enable it to be seen whether the wrapper is being tensioned evenly across its width. In the case of a crabbing-machine the fabric itself may be passed over the displaceable roller. The displacement of the roller g may be effected against the action of a weight, or a hydraulic or pneumatic resistance.

Abstract: 1526598 Automatic exchange systems SIEMENS AG 22 July 1977 [26 July 1976] 30824/77 Heading H4K In an exchange system means are provided for minimizing the seizure line of connection sets and crosspoints in a connection when only one of the subscribers involved in the connection is clearing. If a subscriber Txl, in a PBX is involved in a connection with an external subscriber via a cross connection line set QUen and the external subscriber clears, the set QUen and crosspoints in switching stages A, B are immediately released and a central control ZS establishes an intercept state by operating relays Rxl, Txl in line circuit TSx1 and initiates a time-out device Vx1. At the end of the time out, if subscriber Txl is not clearing an internal connection set HVSn under the control of ZS is connected to TSx1 for provision of engaged tone to Txl. The operation for internal calls e.g. involving subscriber Tx is identical except that an exchange line set Ven and not a cross connection line set QUen is involved.

Apparatus for automatically sterilising an article or a series of articles comprises a steriliser having a bell-like casing open at the bottom and adapted to be moved relatively to a base, from a position in which sealing engagement is made with the base to an open position, and means for raising and lowering the bell-like casing, characterised in that conveying means are adapted to be actuated to feed an article to the base at a pre-determined part of each cycle of operations when the belllike casing is raised. As shown in connection with the steriliser of Specification 889,044, a series of containers 10, each containing a batch of articles to be sterilised, is placed on a gravity conveyor 31 which feeds them to a platform 12 one behind another. The bell-like casing 29 of the steriliser 11 is raised and a ram 18 actuates the conveyor to feed the leading container on to the steriliser base 13, thus interrupting a beam of light to the photoelectric cell 27. The conveyor sleeves 16 are then retracted and stopped and the bell-like casing 29 lowered and the sterilising process started. At the end of the sterilisation process, the bell-like casing 29 is raised, the conveyor is advanced to displace the container 10 off the steriliser base 13 to a discharge conveyor 26 and the leading container 10 on the platform 12 is moved onto the base 13. The ram 18 may be a pneumatic or hydraulic ram.

Abstract: 536,949. Luminescent materials. CLARK, L. M., ROLFE, A. C., and IMPERIAL CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES, Ltd. Nov. 30, 1939, No. 31177. [Class 39 (i)] Luminescent powders or pigments based on the sulphides of the metals in Group II are heat activated in a rotating tube or a tube with an agitating device so that the powder is kept moving continuously during the activation ; this is carried on at a temperature between 800-1200‹ C. The rotating tube may be inclined so that the process is continuous; the agitator may be in the form of rotating or oscillating paddles or a worm conveyer. The sulphide-preferably calcium or strontium-or materials for producing the sulphide together with a refractory, a flux and some activator are uniformly heated in a tube of fused alumina, silica, porcelain or such other materials as will not be attacked by the powder. Zinc, barium and cadmium sulphides also may be the base; sodium carbonate alone may be the flux instead of a mixture of lithium carbonate and potassium and sodium sulphates. Examples of mixtures with proportions and temperatures are given using some of the following materials:- the hydroxide of the metal base, sulphur, sodium carbonate, lithium carbonate, potassium and sodium sulphates, magnesia, bismuth nitrate, rubidium nitrate, manganese nitrate and starch. Manitol, nickel and silver are also referred to as constituents. The period of heating is reduced if the powder is in thin layers in the tube. The powder may be incorporated in thermo-setting or thermo-plastic materials for use in the production of dog collars, buttons, ribbons and armbands.

Latches, sliding; locking sliding latches; striking-plates and staples for latches.- A latch for vehicle &c, doors has a latch-bolt 5 withdrawable by rotation of a handle spindle 14, and a safetycatch bolt 18 controlled by axial movement of the spindle. The bolt 5 is shot by springs 9 and has a projection 12 engaged by a follower 11 for withdrawal. Bolt 18 is normally retracted by a spring 23 and has a projection 25 engaged by a follower 24. When spindle 14 is rotated to withdraw bolt 5 bolt 18 is simultaneously shot. Projection 12 is wider than projection 25 and both normally lie in the paths of the folllowers on spindle 14 of the interior handle 13, urged to the left, Fig. 2, by a spring 17. After withdrawal of bolt 5 handle 13 its pressed inwards to disengage follower 24 from projection 25 allowing spring 23 to withdraw the bolt 18. To minimise friction the bolt 18 or the socket with which it engages may have a ball or roller in suitable bearings. The latch bolt 5 may be withdrawn by an outside handle 26 without operation of the catch-bolt 18. Bolt 5 may be locked by a sliding bolt 32 engaging a recess 35 in bolt 5 under action of a spring, and withdrawn from outside the vehicle by a key and from inside by a handle on the bolt 32. Bolt 32 is held in retracted position by a spring bolt 38 which may be retracted by a handle 42. Belts 32, 38 are housed in a separate casing 34 which may be secured to the main latch casing when required. An arrangement is described in which the stem of handle 26 is tubular to receive an extension of spindle 14 and house the spring 17. In a modification the bolt 18 is held in shot position by spring 23 and withdrawn by inclined surfaces on the bolt and spindle 14.

[Class 85.] A fishing spear for removing or adjusting well casings has aligned series of short wedge slips 5 with interlocking parts 9, 10, whereby heat treatment of the slips is facilitated. The spear body has corre. sponding series of aligned seats with which the slips have a dovetail connection 7. The series of slips are connected by a split ring 13 to ensure equal movement.
