Title: Improvements in the embossing of textile and other materials
Inventor: EVANS JOHN GWYNANT
IPC: D06C23/00
Filed: 1952-06-20
Abstract: Textiles, e.g. cotton or acetate rayon fabrics, are treated to render the effects of an embossing process (see Group XVI) permanent by the application of a fixing agent which sets either under the action of heat or by the action of a another reagent. The fixing agent is applied before embossing and the heat may be applied either during or after embossing.  The second reagent when used is applied after the embossing process.  The fixing agents may be products condensing by heat during the process, e.g. formaldehyde, the precondensates of formaldehyde with compounds which lead to the formation of a synthetic resin, glyoxal, mono-and polyisocyanates, isothiocyanates and their bisulphite compounds or organic adducts, polyvinyl alcohol in conjunction with formaldehyde or methylol compounds or glyoxal and similar fixing agents.  In an example given in the Provisional Specification only, a fabric of viscose rayon staple fibre was impregnated with a solution of formaldehyde containing a small quantity of phosphoric acid.  After embossing, the fabric was heated to 145 DEG C. for 3 minutes and then rinsed.  Specification 425,032 is referred to.

Patent GB-236219-A (GB)
IPC: B65H29/62
Filed: 1925-06-24
Abstract: 236,219. Spiess, G. June 30, 1924, [Convention date]. Feeding webs; delivery apparatus. - A machine for producing piles of sorted sheets from webs of paper, comprises in combination, one or more longitudinal slitters, transverse cutters, means for deflecting faulty sheets from the path of movement of the perfect sheets, and a web-feeding device such as described in Specification 234,060 in which feed-rollers draw the web continuously from the supply roll and are moved bodily substantially at right angles to the direction of feed of the web so as to arrest temporarily the part of the web being acted upon by the cutter. An inspection area for the paper is provided between the slitters and transverse cutter. The transverse cutters are preferably of the guillotine type. In one form the web 3 passes from the roll 2 between longitudinal slitters 5, over an indicating-device of known form comprising travelling rods 29 adapted to throw a shadow on the webs corresponding to the lines on which the web will be cut, and then between the feed-rollers 6 to the guillotine cutter 7. The feed-rollers 6 are mounted on a slide 8, which is reciprocated by a cam 18 and lever 15 in a path substantially perpendicular to the web 3, and are driven by a belt 11 passing round a pulley 13 movable with the slide 8 and a driving pulley on a uniformly driven shaft 10. The rollers 6 are thereby rotated at a varying speed, the speed decreasing as the slide, descends and increasing as it ascends. The shaft 17 carrying the cam 18 is driven from the shaft 10 by a double-cone and belt and gears 20, and carries a pair of cams 21 for actuating the cutter 7. A switch 31 actuated by a lever 30 is provided to deflect faulty sheets on to a pile 32. In another form of machine, the feed-rollers 6 are mounted on a horizontal pivoted arm linked to a second pivoted arm carrying the pulley 13 and oscillated by a cam. In both the forms of machine described above, the cutter extends across the whole width of the machine and all the strips into which the web is slit by the slitters 5. are cut into sheets of the same length. To allow sheets of different length to be cut, adjacent strips are directed from the slitters in opposite directions to separate inspecting, feeding, and cutting devices. Specifications 178,838 and 205,576 also are referred to.

Title: Improvements in and relating to sound wave apparatus
IPC: G01S15/10
Filed: 1935-06-06
Abstract: 434,413. Echo-sounding and distance-measuring apparatus. BRITISH THOMSONHOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London. June 6, 1935, No. 16486. Convention date, June 6, 1934. [Class 118 (ii)] To ensure the receipt of direct and reflected sound waves as distinct signals for very short distances, the reflected wave is delayed after reception. As shown in the Figures the reflected wave is delayed by the trombone tubes 10, 11, 12, but electrical or electromechanical time delay may be employed. The two sounds may be heard on headphones 8 or may be indicated by light flashes and the timing may be assisted by indicator 39. The invention is said to enable distances of 1 or 2 feet to be measured to assist pilots in landing aircraft. Specifications 379,429 and 390,956 are referred to. When the switch 18 is closed magnets 24 and 22 energize to start the time indicator 39 and lift the hammer armature 21. The armature 21 through lever 27 sets escapement mechanism 26 and also eventually opens switch 23 so that magnet 40 is energized to hold the switch open and magnet 22 releases its armature 21 so that the hammer 20 strikes diaphragm 13 and a sound is emitted. The microphone 9 transmits a pulse through amplifier 7 to headphones 8 and also through amplifier 53 to flash neon lamp 54. When the reflected wave is received it is delayed by device 10, 11, 12, and then passes through filter 4 to microphone 5 whence it passes to amplifier 7 to give a second pulse in receivers 8 and a second flash on lamp 54. The time between the pulses enables the height of the aircraft to be determined. The escapement 26, driven by spring 25 and controlled by pendulum 42, eventually recloses contacts 23 and if switch 18 is still closed, a second pulse is transmitted. A short wave train emission is ensured by brake 45 which is moved from the diaphragm by armature 21, through lever 44, for an interval determined by dashpot 51.

Title: Improvements in brazing machine
IPC: B23K3/08
Filed: 1925-07-02
Abstract: 259,287. Marks, E. C. R., (Wade & Butcher Corporation). July 2, 1925. Handles.-In a machine for brazing knife blades to their handles, the mechanism which automatically puts the heaters out of action after a predetermined interval immediately occupies a position for re-engagement to reset the heaters. The machine comprises a number of independently controlled units for brazing a number of articles. Each unit comprises a pillar 6 having secured to its upper end a bar 8 provided with a clamp 9 for holding the blade by its bolster. The handle is pressed on the blade by a spring-pressed plunger 24 which may be raised by a lever 28 and held in its open position by a spring latch 33. The heaters may each consist of two upper nozzles 10 playing on the handle and a lower nozzle, which is prevented by a mask 23 engaging the work from playing on and thus tarnishing the blades. The heaters are carried by pivoted arms 11 which are operated through pins 17 and slots by toggle ievers 18. 19 through a hand lever 20. The hand lever, which is returned by a spring 51, has connected thereto by a link 45, a bar 43 provided with a roller 44 adapted to pass through an opening 42 in the annular wall of a cam 37, which is loosely mounted on a shaft 35 and is connected by pins 39 to the loose member 40 of a clutch. When the lever 20 is raised to close the heaters on the work, the bar 43 is pushed forward and at the same time the member 40 is pushed into engagement with the fixed member 41 of the clutch by a bell crank lever 47 connected to the lever 20 by links 49, 50. The shaft 35 is rotated by interchangeable gear 75 - - 80 and worm gear from an electric motor 85 with rheostat 86. At the end of one revolution of the shaft the lever 20 is pulled back by the spring 51 so as to withdraw the heaters, the roller 44 passing through the opening 42. The lever 20 has an arm 66 connected by a link 67 to a lever 68 on an axle 70 carrying a lever 69 to which is pivoted a latch 72 controlled by a spring 75. The latch is pressed into engagement with a stud 73 carried by a bar 74 which is secured to guides 53 supporting a counterweighted water cooling tank 52 and slidable on the pillar 6. When the lever 20 is returned by the spring 51 the tank is automatically pushed upwards by the latch &c. to surround the work. In its upward motion the valves 57 which project into the tank are opened by their arms 62 engaging studs 63 in fixed bars 65 and water is sprayed on the work and flows out of the tank through the hose 60. When the work is cooled the latch 72 is released by hand and the tank lowered. The arms 62 are engaged by studs 64 on the bars 65 to close the valves 57. the lever 20 is again operated to close the heaters round the next article the latch re-engages the stud 73. The various units are set in operation by separate levers 20 and have separate clutches &c. carried bv the shaft 35 so that the series may be worked by a single operator.

Title: Improvements in collapsable gates and the like
IPC: E06B3/48
Filed: 1937-06-19
Abstract: 497,374. Gates; sliding doors. PRESTON, P. June 19, 1937, No. 17131. [Class 45] [Also in Group X] A collapsable gate comprises panels interconnected by hinges on a series of verticals arranged alternately at different sides of the gate and co-operating with guideways controlling the collapse and extension of the gate, the majority of the panels being coplanar when the gate is extended. As shown the panels 10 are hinged to vertical channel bars 11, 12 and the main verticals 11 are suspended on rollers 21 running on a rail 18, the left-hand vertical 11<1> being fixed at the side of the opening. Hinge-joints 14a secure the panels to hinge-pins 15, the transversals 14 passing completely across the panel, which, as shown in Fig. 3, lies between two transversals 14 riveted together. The rail 18 is spaced from a dependent web 17 by a channel bar 20 and top pieces 22 on the main verticals are in sliding engagement with the rail. The tops 23 of the intermediate verticals slide in a groove formed by the rail and the bottom of the web 17. Members 24, 25, 25<1> extending along the gateway at floor level form a slideway which is entered to half depth by the feet 26 of the intermediate verticals and to full depth by the feet of the main verticals. The arrangement is such that, when the gate is fully extended, all the panels except the first two are coplanar and the gate is substantially closed against draught. To guide the parts during collapse and extension a cam 28 is mounted in a recess in the web 17. The cam is pivoted at 30 and is normally urged by a spring 32 into a position at which it allows the tops 22 of the main verticals to pass along the guideway. The top engages the rear end 31 of the cam and displaces it into the position shown, in which the next oncoming intermediate vertical is deflected outwards, and the collapsing of that section of the gate is initiated. When each top 22 has passed, the cam is again rotated to leave the guideway unobstructed. A corresponding guide 2511 with or without a cam, may be provided at the bottom. In a modification, the transversals 14 of the hinges are omitted, and "piano " hinges extend continuously throughout the height of the gate.

Title: Low viscosity polymer with improved pigment dispersion
IPC: C08K3/00
Filed: 1964-04-27
Abstract: Synthetic linear polyesters of low intrinsic viscosity containing finely divided dispersed pigment are prepared by adding the pigment to the starting materials for a linear polyester, polymerizing these to a relatively high viscosity, and then rapidly reducing the viscosity of the polyester to the required value, whereby there is no significant change in the degree of dispersion of the pigment in the polymer.  The exemplified materials are polyethylene terephthalate and carbon black.  The usual intrinsic viscosity of 0.60 to 0.70 is reduced quickly to the required value of 0.35 to 0.55 by the addition of a depolymerizing agent, e.g. glycol.  Alternative depolymerizing agents are ethylene terephthalate monomer and steam.
