Title: Improvements relating to method and apparatus for separating confections from starch or the like in confectionery manufacture
IPC: A23G7/00
Filed: 1935-05-16
Abstract: 457,765. Starch-moulding machines. NATIONAL EQUIPMENT CO., 3640, Main Street, Springfield, Massachusetts, U.S.A. May 16, 1935, No. 14328. Convention date. July 19, 1934. [Class 87 (ii)] Confections are separated from a matrix of starch &c. by the action of an air stream of sufficient velocity to carry in suspension both the confections and the starch, the confections and starch being then segregated separately from the air stream. The apparatus shown in Fig. 1 comprises a device A for receiving a stack of trays containing candy centres embedded in a starch matrix and for feeding the lowermost tray of the stack to a device B which removes the confection and starch, separates them, and returns the starch to the tray. The filled trays are then stamped by a device C to form moulds which are filled with candy material by a depositing-machine D, the trays being finally restacked by a device E. The device B comprises an upstanding nozzle 163 of substantially uniform cross-section which sucks up' the confections and starch from the trays T and conveys them to an enlarged chamber 164 bounded by a coarse screen 167. The volume of the chamber 164 is adjusted by a valve 166 so that the velocity of the air is reduced to such an extent that the confections drop through an outlet 185. Beyond the screen 167 the duct is again enlarged so that particles of candy &c. are dropped through an outlet 180 while the starch-laden air enters a centrifugal separator 160 from which the dust-free air is drawn by an electric fan 170. This air current is divided into two streams by an adjustable shutter 172. One stream passes down the duct 171 which terminates in an extension 174 above the trays, the other stream passes through a duct 175 to a filter 176 comprising a number of fabric tubes communicating with the atmosphere. By this means the static pressure of the air in the apparatus is maintained below atmospheric and leakage of air outwards is prevented. A device may be provided to supply conditioned air to the duct 171. The lower end of the filter 176 communicates with a bin which can be emptied periodically into the duct 171 to return the starch from the filter to the trays. The candy centres in the outlet 185 pass down a shoot 186 in which are a number of revolving brushes 188 which remove adhering starch. The centres leave by a revolving door 193 and the starch is drawn up the shoot by an air current entering an adjustable opening 196. The starch in the separator 160 is fed to the trays by a conveyer 205 and is smoothed by a roller 211. During their travel under the rollei the trays rest on spring supported rails 216. A plate 218 is reciprocated by a cam disc 223 on the main cam shaft 76 to cut off the starch supply when a tray is moving under the separator. Specification 457,772 is referred to.

Title: Preparation of isocyanates
IPC: C01C3/20
Filed: 1957-05-07
Abstract: A silicon isocyanate or isothiocyanate, or a phosphorus isocyanate or isothiocyanate, is produced together with lithium chloride by reacting silicon tetrachloride or phosphorus trichloride with lithium isocyanate or isothiocyanate. Depending on the amount of lithium isocyanate or isothiocyanate employed one or more chlorine atoms of the silicon tetrachloride or phosphorus trichloride are replaced by an isocyanate or isothiocyanate group.  The silicon or phosphorus chloride may be added to a suspension of lithium isocyanate or isothiocyanate in an inert organic liquid which is a solvent for the isocyanate product but not for the lithium chloride also produced and heating the mixture under reflux.  Solvents specified are benzene, toluene, xylene, mesitylene, ethylbenzene, n-propylbenzene, cumene, naphthalene and tetrahydronaphthalene.  The lithium chloride product may be converted into lithium carbonate by reaction with sodium carbonate, and the lithium carbonate may be converted into lithium isocyanate or isothiocyanate for recycling to the process by heating with urea or thiourea.  Three examples are given.

Abstract: 528,830. Supply meters. FERRANTI. Ltd., PRINCE, J., and WHITEHEAD, M, May 16, 1939, No. 14553. [Class 37] For improving the registration curve of an induction meter a plurality of salient portions of the stampings forming part of either the shunt or series electromagnet protrude into an air gap forming part of the series flux path and become saturated at differing values of the total series flux. Alternatively pieces of ferromagnetic material may be arranged parallel to each other in the air gap. As shown in Fig. 2 an E-shaped shunt magnet 1 is arranged above a U-shaped series magnet 2, the meter disc 12 rotating in the gap between them. The core of the series magnet 2 includes two sets of stampings 3, 4 of differing lengths but both longer than the remaining stampings 5. The longer stampings 3, 4 are of high permeability material and saturate at differing values of the total flux: Alternatively the shunt magnet may have some of its stampings with either the middle or the outer limbs longer than the others. In another modification, Fig. 7, the series magnet 2 is built up of stampings which are stepped to form salient portions 10, 11. Alternatively the shunt magnet may have one or more limbs of some or all of its stampings similarly stepped. In another construction, Fig. 5, pieces 8 of high permeability metal are disposed in each of the air gaps between the two magnets 1, 2, individual pieces in each gap becoming saturated at different values of total series flux. They are held in position by a brass bracket 9 attached to the shunt magnet core.

Leaf filters. - The casing of a leaf filter is formed in two parts which can be separated and one of which is mounted or trunnions through which liquid is supplied to and discharged from the casing. In the arrangement shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the lower and upper sections 6, 7 of the casing are clamped together by swing bolts 8 mounted on cams carried by shafts 10 which are geared to turn together. The upper section 7 can be raised by means of steam or hydraulic cylinders 27 and tension rods 26.

The interior of the trunnion 21, Fig. 5, is divided into two passages 52, 53 communicating respectively on the one hand with pipes 50, 42, through which material can be supplied to the filter, and on the other with the interior of the casing through passages 61, 55 and apertures 62, 57. A passage 63 in the trunnion 20, Fig. 3, connects the manifold 35 with a discharge pipe 73 and a passage 64 connects a pipe 72, through which a. washing fluid is supplied, to a rotatable sluicing pipe 78 provided with nozzles 80 to direct the fluid across the filter leaves. The pipes 42, 50 may be used simultaneously for supplying material, or circulation through the filter may be secured by using one for supply and the other for withdrawal. To discharge the separated solid matter the upper section 7 is raised and the lower section 6 turned over on the trunnions, either manually or by gearing automatically operated by the raising of the section 7. Modified apparatus is described in which the upper section is normally stationary and the lower section is moved down before it is turned over.
