IPC: C09D101/28
Filed: 1944-06-14
Abstract: A composition for protecting metal surfaces against corrosion comprises lanolin and a cellulose ether in which the weight ratio of lanolin to cellulose ether is greater than 1.  Ethyl cellulose having an ethoxy content of 43.5 to 49.5 per cent. is the preferred ether but other cellulose ethers such as butyl or benzyl cellulose may be used.  Refined anhydrous lanolin, anhydrous wool grease or the lanolin acids and lanolin alcohols obtainable from lanolin by saponification may be employed.  The constituents are applied to the metal to be coated in a solvent such as benzene, toluene, xylene or a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon or a mixture thereof.  In an example 1 part of ethyl cellulose of ethoxy content 48.5 to 49.5 per cent. is dissolved in xylene and 9 parts of anhydrous lanolin are added with stirring until solution is complete.  The solution may then be applied to metal surfaces by spraying, dipping or brushing and the solvent removed by evaporation at room temperature.  The protective coating is readily removed from the coated surface by rubbing with a dry cloth or by washing with a solvent in which the constituents are soluble.ALSO:A composition for protecting metal surfaces against corrosion comprises lanolin and a cellulose ether in which the weight ratio of lanolin to cellulose ether is greater than 1.

Title: Improvements in fountain pens
IPC: B43K5/18
Filed: 1952-05-05
Abstract: 769,912. Reservoir pens. PLATEN, B. C. VON. May 5,1952 [May 4, 1951], No. 11355/52. Class 146(3). In a reservoir pen of the kind having a non-capillary reservoir in which the air pressure is below atmospheric pressure, tc allow air to pass into the reser. voir during writing, the reser. voir communicates at its nit end via a capillary ink outlet channel 64 with an overflow chamber 70 of porous material having capillary channels ir communication with the atmos phere. A partition 11 providec with an aperture 12, divides the reservoir into parts 1a and 1b, the part 1a being sealed by a piston 13. A wall across the bottom of the part 1b includes the aperture 64 through which ink flows from the reservoir part 1b to a nib 5, this ink being replaced by air flowing to the reservoir part 1b through an inlet 32 and the channel 64. The chamber 70, formed of porous glass, e.g., sintered glass particles, is enclosed by a cover 72 and provided with capillary channels 71, preferably tapered towards their top ends. Ink, forced out of the part 1b by the expansion of air, fills the channels 71. When the space 1b contains air only air may pass through the aperture 12 into the part 1a to replace ink used. However, when the part 1b contains ink, air cannot pass through the aperture 12 as well as the channel 64 due to the available forces being insufficient to cause air to bubble in through first the channel 64 and then the aperture 12.

Title: Improvements in or relating to telephone systems
IPC: H04Q1/20
Filed: 1927-04-28
Abstract: 294,686. Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Simpson, L. M. April 28, 1927. Automatic exchange systems.-In a system in which routine testing of first code selectors, FCS, Fig. 1, is effected by a routine test equipment or ' routiner ' RTE which sets up a connection from the first code selector over a first numerical selector S and back to the routiner, in order to avoid reserving a whole level of the selector S for such testing service the connection is extended via a final selector FS and a particular set of terminals of the latter. Since, however, the final selector circuit mav include condensers which would interfere with the establishment of a through metallic testing circuit, between the first code selector and the routiner, a finder switch TF is provided which hunts for the trunk over which the final selector has been seized, releases the latter and connects the outgoing end of the trunk directly to the routiner. The trunk is marked in the back of the finder TF bv means of ringing-current sent out by the routiner. Detailed operation, Fig. 2. When the final selector has been set on the special testing terminals A<2>, B<2>, P<2>, relay AR<3> operates and connects up time pulse lead PC to the two-step relay AR<4>. When the latter operates completely. the lead PC is extended to the stepping magnet DM of the finder TF and the wipers are stepped round until wiper 14 reaches the terminal connected to the a-wire A<1> of the trunk to which ring- ing-current is applied at the routiner. Alternating-current relay AR<1> then operates and connects up relay SR which locks to holding earth in the routiner, disconnects the leads A<1>, B<1>, P<1> from the leads A, B, P to the final selector earths lead P<1> to hold up the connection and connects leads A<1>, B<1> through to the routiner. The disconnection of leads A, B releases the final selector. Relay SR also energizes relay AR<2> which releases relay AR<4> and closes a restoring circuit for the finder. An additional restoring circuit over back contacts 26, 11 comes into use if the finder is set manually. Number unobtainable tone NUT connected over terminal B<2> is supplied to a subscriber who inadvertently calls the special testing number. Specification 283,991 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to combined embossing and printing presses
IPC: B41K3/36
Filed: 1924-05-08
Abstract: 237,998. Millbank, L. A. May 8, 1924. Embossing; number - printing apparatus.- In a combined printing and embossing press, the operation of the embossing-mechanism is adapted periodically or successively to effect a change in the printing-mechanism. As applied to a press for embossing a corporate seal and printing a number, the numbering head 2, Figs. 1 and 3, is attached to a block 6 carried by a plunger 6<a> supported by a spring 5<a> in the part 1<a> of the press, and adapted to be depressed to print by a cam lever 3. The embossing-die 4, which co-operates with a counter-die 5, is provided with guide-bars 3<a> passing through holes in the block 6 and having enlarged ends 3<b> by which the die 4 is supported from the block 6. When the cam-lever 3 is depressed, the die 4 and printing-head 2 descend together until the die engages its counter-die 5, whereupon the head 2 continues its movement alone to print the required number. A final pressure is applied to the die 4 by the block 6 engaging stops 4<a> on the upper surface of the die. The numbers in the numbering-head are changed by the engagement of its operating finger 8, Fig. 3, with a stop 12 and pawl 10 on the die 4, mechanism being provided which can be set so that successive numbering, repeated numbering, or periodical changes in the numbering may be obtained. This mechanism comprises a spring- controlled lever 15 carrying at one end the pawl 10 and at the other end a tooth 16 engaging a toothed wheel 17 freely mounted on a vertical spindle 20. The teeth on the wheel 17 are alternately deep and shallow, and according to whether the tooth 16 is in engagement with one or the other of these teeth, the pawl 10 is or is not in position to engage the finger 8 and reset the numbering-head 2. A drum 21, mounted on the spindle 20 and having a tooth 23 engaging teeth on the upper surface of the wheel 17, is provided with a vertical groove 24 and a helical groove 25. A projection 26 on the block 6 can be engaged with either of the grooves so that during the downward movement of the block 6 the drum can remain stationary or be oscillated. If the drum remain stationary, the head 2 prints repeat numbers or consecutive numbers according to which tooth on the wheel 17 is engaged with the tooth 16. When the drum is rotated it turns the wheel 17 a distance equal to one tooth for each printing movement and each number is then repeated twice before the numbering-mechanism is changed.

Abstract: 114,951. British Northrop Loom Co., (Northrop Loom Co.). Aug. 8, 1917. Stop-motions, warp.-A flexible connector comprising a core movable longitudinally within a sheath with fixed ends is employed to transmit a longitudinal thrust from means operated by warpfailure detecting devices to a dog which is moved into the path of a bunter on the lay to stop the loom. As shown, a flexible wire 41, Figs. 2 and 4, is longitudinally movable within a sheath 37 comprising a long wire helix of small diameter with its ends secured by split sleeves 39 and set-screws 40 in sockets in a. bracket 15 secured to the loom adjacent to the dog 9, Fig. 1, and in an arm 38 rigid with one of the arms 19, Fig. 5, which support the feeler plate 18 on a rock-shaft 20. This shaft is rocked bv a cam 35 mounted on the tappet-shaft 29 and provided with a double concentric switching-groove 36 engaging a crescent-shaped cam-follower 34 pivoted on either side of a yoke 33, which is adjustably connected by a suitably-bent link 29<a> to an arm 28 on a sleeve 26, loosely mounted on the shaft 20 and having a cam-surface engaging a corresponding surface on an abutment 22 secured to the shaft 20. A spring 27 mounted on the shaft 20 between a fixed collar 24 and the sleeve 26 holds the cam-surfaces in engagement. Drop detectors 16 are suspended on the warps and slotted to pass over supporting- bars 17, and a fallen detector is struck by the feeler plate 18 and stops the rocking of the shaft 20, so that the sleeve 26 is moved along the shaft by the action of the co-operating cam-surfaces and acts on the wire 41 through a rod 43, which has its ends disposed within the sleeves 26, 39 in such a manner as to allow the normal relative rotary movement between the arm 38 and the sleeve 26. When the wire 41 is moved, its other end acts through a pin 42 to raise the dog 9 against the action of a spring 44. The dog is pivotally connected by a link 13 to the bracket 15 and adjustably by a link 11, 10 to a knock-off lever 4, and, when it is raised, it is engaged by a bunter 2 on the lay 1 as this moves backwards, and the lever 4 acts on the usual shipper 3 to stop t'he loom. As the dog is moved rearwards, it is raised off its normal support and the pin 42 by the action of the link 13, so that the operative can jiggle the feeler by movement of the usual handle 45 on an arm 46 on the feeler shaft 20 to ascertain the position of the fallen detector.
