Title: Improvements in insolubilized starch
Inventor: HART ROBERT THOMPSON
IPC: C08B31/00
Filed: 1962-09-26
Abstract: Substrates, especially paper and paper-board, are coated with a cooked starch which is contacted with an alkali metal stannate either before or after application.  The coating may be applied either on-the-machine or off-the-machine. The stannate may be added to the coating composition or applied to the coated substrate by dipping or spraying.  The starch may be either oxidized or unoxidized and is insolubilized by the process of the invention.  The coating may be adhesive and the coated sheet may be laminated to a similar but uncoated sheet.ALSO:Substrates, especially paper and paperboard, are coated with a cooked starch which is contacted with an alkali metal stannate either before or after application.

Abstract: 557,279. Skin-plated frame structures. PRESSED STEEL CO., Ltd., and MORPHEW, L. R. Sept. 4, 1942, No. 12509. [Class 20 (ii)] [Also in Group XXXIII] A skin-plating stiffened by a grid-like frame especially suitable for air-frame construction has the grid frame formed of primary notched members, and continuous secondary members at rightangles to the primary members and passing through the notches in the primary members each of which is provided with a continuous supplementary flange to which the secondary members are secured. The skin-plating 13 is stiffened by primary notched channel or Z-section bars 10 shaped at the outer edge to form a main flange 12 for securing to the plating and a supplementary flange 15 disposed parallel to the main flange and at the depth of the notch therefrom, so that the out-turned flanges of the channel or Z- section secondary members 16, which pass through the notches, may be riveted thereto. The supplementary flange on the primary member may be formed by joining an angle-section member inside a channel member at the depth of the notches or, alternatively, by joining an anglesection member to the web of a channel-section member exteriorly. The primary notched members may be formed by securing two channel or Z- section members either back-to-back directly or in spaced relationship; their inner flanges being capped by a metal plate 21, Fig. 8.

Title: Improvements in or relating to powdered fuel burners
IPC: F23D1/00
Filed: 1928-05-01
Abstract: 321,172. Nielsen, H., and Laing, B. May 1, 1928. Pulverulen-fuel burners.-A mixture of powdered fuel and air supplied under pressure to a burner is further mixed with at least the total theoretical volume of air required for the complete combustion of the fuel and the mixture is allowed to expand before reaching the burner outlets so as to vary the velocity of the air in respect to the suspended solid fuel particles. The mixture is split up to a large number of independent streams at the burner outlets. Fig. 1 shows a burner in which a mixture of fuel and primary air entering tangentially a chamber a<2> is mixed on leaving a nozzle a<3> in a chamber a<4> with secondary air, preferably preheated, supplied through a tangential inlet A<2>. The mixture passes through a constriction a<5> in the burner casing to a flared conduit a<6> which is fitted at its discharge end with a grid formed with a number of openings D of varying cross-section. The grid may consist of two plates d, d', the plate d being composed of metal or refractory material, of relatively high heat conductivity and the plate d<1> being composed of metal &c. highly resistant to heat but not necessarily highly conducting. The plates d, d<1> may be detachably secured together or may be mounted so as to be relatively movable so as to clear the parts of adherent dust or clinker. The openings D may be of Venturi cross-section so that the velocity of the mixture exceeds that of flame propagation and flashbacks. are prevented. The supply of fuel and primary air is regulated by an adjustable valve B provided with inclined vanes b<2>, Fig. 6, to impart a whirling movement. The secondary air may be admitted through variable inlets fitted with inclined vanes. Provision may be made for cooling the burner by air or water and the rear part of the burner may be hinged at its fixing flange A<3> so as to permit of access to the interior.

Abstract: 977,992. Drop box motion. SDRUZENI PODNIKU TEXTILNIHO STROJIRENSTVI. April 10, 1961 [April 9, 1960], No. 12768/61. Heading D1E. A four cell drop box is operated by two eccentrics, one inside the other, rotated by pinions attached to them which can slide into mesh with wheels having sufficient teeth to turn the eccentrics half a revolution at a time. The pattern mechanism consists of two feeler levers 10 which are lifted clear of a pattern card 6 by a ramp 16 on a main lever 17 oscillated by a cam 21. When the pattern card has been advanced and the feeler levers have been lowered on to it, the left hand end of a feeler lever fits a lever 13, if the feeler needle 9 has entered a hole 8. In its movement to the right, the main lever 17 is accompanied by a bellcrank lever 24, 25 pivoted at 23 on the main lever; tilting of the lever 13 brings its right hand end into the path of the arm 25 of the bellcrank lever, so that when the cam 21 swings the main lever 17 to the left again, the bellcrank lever is restrained from moving bodily with it. In consequence, the movement of the pivot 23 whilst the top of the arm 25 is held by the lever 13, turns the bellcrank lever clockwise, causing the arm 24 to lift a link 27, which moves a sliding pinion as described above.

In vibratory finishing apparatus as claimed in Claim 1 of Specification 1,097,215, the centre of mass of the carriage and tub with its design load and that of the counterpoise are in the region of the axis of the shaft, and the longitudinal axis of the tub is inclined at a small angle to that of the driving shaft as viewed in plan. Apparatus comprises, Fig. 3, a tub carriage C and counterpoises P, P<SP>1</SP> all connected by resilient shear mounts to a frame F and vibrated by a driving shaft 83. The tub T, Fig. 4, has feet 56 resting on a base plate 55 resting on longitudinal rails 20, 21 of the tub carriage, the rails being inclined as viewed in plan so that the tub axis 24 is inclined at angle 0 to the driving shaft axis. Angle 0 is less than 30 degrees and preferably is about 5 degrees. The lengths of the feet 56 are chosen so that in elevation the tub axis slopes down towards its outlet end at an angle less than 5 degrees and preferably about 1 degree. At its rear end the tub has a charging hopper 58, Fig. 6, joined to the rear wall 48 and sloping towards an inlet opening 59 in the wall. At its front end the tub has a tubular discharge elbow 51 rotatably supported in alignment with a discharge opening 50 in the front wall 49 by a clamping sleeve 52.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Localising Apparatus for use with X-rays.
Inventor: ROBERTS ELMER CLIFFORD
Filed: 1918-08-08
Abstract: 130,773. Roberts, E. C. Aug. 8, 1918. R÷ntgen-ray apparatus. -Two crossed bars lying in the same plane form an appliance for determining the depth of the foreign body in localization with X-rays. The first bar DD<2> is of a length, or adjustable to a length, equal to the distance from the ray-source placed vertically below the foreign body to the shadow thereof in the patient's skin. The upper limit of the bar is reckoned from the centre of an attached ring G, provided with a pointer G<1> at right-angles thereto and a pointer G<2> at right-angles to the first pointer. To the first bar is fixed a bracket E equal in length to the distance between the two ray-sources. The second bar F may be telescopic and is pivoted to the free end of the bracket, the parts of the appliance lying all in one plane. Alternatively the first bar and the bracket may be made of a similar proportion to the lengths mentioned. In use, the instrument in an horizontal position is laid, by means of a fluorescent screen, so that the ring G occupies the centre of the shadow formed of the foreign body by the ray-source placed vertically below it, and so that one of the pointers G' points to the centre of the shadow formed by the other ray-source. The second bar F is then adjusted to lie across this second shadow. The distance from the centre of the ring G to the point of intersection of the bars is then a direct measure of the depth of the foreign body. A scale is provided upon the first bar. In a modification, the bracket is replaced by an arc-shaped guide of such radius that, in its movement along it, the second bar F, in moving along the guide, preserves the desired fixed perpendicular distance of its lower end from the first bar DD'.
