Title: Improvements in or relating to cattle watering devices
IPC: A01K7/02
Filed: 1954-07-21
Abstract: 750,581. Cattle watering devices. UTINAELEKTROWERK GES. July 21, 1954 [July 22, 1953; Nov. 10, 1953; Dec. 23, 1953], No. 21276/54. Class 5 (2). A cattle-watering device comprises a pivoted pendant lever 7 suspended over a watering basin 13 elongated in the direction of movement of the lever, the lever being arranged to actuate the piston 4 of a single-acting pump 1, 2 through a piston-rod 5 having a displacement body 5a arranged so that the piston acts to eject water from the pump-cylinder 2 during its upward stroke and the immersion of the displacement body ejects a corresponding quantity during the return stroke. The lower end of the lever 7, which is bifurcated, carries a yoke 17 on which are mounted baffle-plates 18 which prevent access to the basin 13 except at the front adjacent to a nose-piece 19 which may be resiliently-mounted. The basin, which may be enamelled, is cast integrally with a base 11 and with a pipe 12 supplying water to the cylinder 2. A flap-valve 10 closing the pipe 12 when the piston is in its lowermost position carries a rubber buffer 9 to receive the piston-end. The cylinder 2 is eccentrically placed in the outer casing 1 which extends upwardly and forwardly to form a hood 1a carrying the pivot-pin 8 for the lever 7. A spout 15 integral with the casing 1 supplies water to the rear end of the basin. In a modification, the spout 15 can be optionally blocked, the water then being delivered through another spout at a higher level, for filling buckets. Alternatively a bent pipe may be inserted into the spout 15 for the same purpose.

Convention date, July 22, 1933. [Class 39 (iii)] An anode free from metallic parts for an electrolytic cell comprises a bundle of baked carbon blocks 1 mortised together in such a way that new blocks may be fitted on to the bundle as the electrode is consumed. Each block is provided with a groove 4 and a projection 5 for the dovetailing. The anode may be circular or polygonal in cross-section and may be hollow and filled with self-baking conductive paste. The paste is supplied with current by divided tubular members 12 inserted in holes in the paste and expanded against the sides of these holes by the action of wedges operated by a rod 11. Current is supplied to the carbon anode by contact plates 3 carried by bands 2. The electric connections are raised up the electrode as the latter is consumed to prevent any metal coming into contact with the electrolytic bath.

Class 39(3) In forging apparatus wherein wire and rod stock feeding and cut off means are spaced apart, stock warming means are disposed between stock feeding and cut off means and comprise induction heating means surrounding the stock, main heat conducting material at least partially around said heating means, and means for cooling the stock warming means, additional heat conducting material of low heat conductivity being provided between the main heat conducting material and the cut off means. As shown, rollers such as 12, Fig. 1, feed wire stock 18 through heating means 30 to a cutting device 22 via a tubular quill 72, e.g. of stainless steel, and thence to the upsetting punch 24 and socketing punch 26. The heating means 30 includes a block 32, Fig. 3, e.g. of copper, brass or aluminium, having bores 67 and 73 through which the stock 18 passes. The quill 72 has a number of peripheral ridges 76 by which it is mounted in poor thermal contact with the frame 10. The block 32 is provided with a pocket 34 between the bores 67 and 73 to accommodate a heating coil 36, e.g. of copper tubing, the ends 46, 48 of which are connected to the hollow conductors 52 and 50 respectively. The coil is fed by high frequency energy from a source 64. The pocket 34 is made slightly longer than the coil 36, to permit longitudinal adjustment of the latter and the coil is supported in the pocket by pads 38 and 40 and a plate 42, Fig. 4. A suitable coolant is circulated through the conductors 52 and 50 to cool the coil 36, and a portion of the coolant is diverted by means of branch tubes 56 and 58 to passageways 54 in the block 32.

Convention date, Nov. 25, 1933. [Class 56] A method of bending a sheet of glass, and of hardening it if required, consists in heating the sheet while it is suspended in a vertical position, applying bending-members simultaneously to both surfaces of the sheet while thus suspended, and then cooling the sheet while it is in contact only with the suspending members, the rate of cooling being regulated to produce an annealed or a hardened sheet as required. The glass sheet a may be suspended by means of tongs b, and after being heated in a furnace, it is placed between two plates c which are secured to the piston rods d of pressing-cylinders. The plates c are provided with battens e of wood, asbestos, or any suitable heat-insulating material. These battens constitute the bending- members and shape the glass when the plates c are forced together by the pistons. After the plates c have been separated, the glass sheet a is lifted away from them by the tongs b, and it may then be cooled by means of jets of air if a hardened or tempered sheet is required.

Title: Improved process for making alkali metal metaborates and compositions containing thesame
IPC: C01B35/10
Filed: 1960-06-23
Abstract: Alkali metal metaborates having 2 to 8 moles of water of crystallization are prepared by adding to an agitated mass of alkali metal biborate from 1 to 2 moles of an alkali metal hydroxide solution, at such a rate that the reaction mixture remains substantially dry throughout, the total amount of water being that necessary to produce the desired metaborate hydrate.  A dust-free granular product results.  The reaction is preferably effected in a rotary drum, the hydroxide solution being introduced as a fine spray. The metaborate may be co-crystallized with sodium chlorate or an organic herbicide to form a crystalline herbicidal composition. Specification 760,162 is referred to.ALSO:Herbicidal compositions are prepared by co-crystallizing alkali metal metaborate with sodium chlorate or an organic herbicide or both.  The alkali metal metaborate is formed by spraying an alkali metal hydroxide solution on to an agitated mass of a biborate, particularly borax, and the sodium chlorate and/or organic herbicide is placed in the reaction vessel with the alkali metal biborate.  Sodium chlorate may constitute 20-70% of the composition and the organic herbicide may be present in amounts from 0.5-10%.  Suitable organic herbicides are the sodium salt of trichloroacetic, trichlorobenzoic or trichlorophenylacetic acids. Alternatively insoluble organic herbicides such as 3-(p-chlorophenyl) - 1,1 - dimethylurea may be used.  The herbicides produced are granular and may be applied dry or in solution.
