Title: Improved net or lace fabrics
Inventor: LANE COLIN MONTAGUE
IPC: D04G1/00
Filed: 1959-02-16
Abstract: 891,358. Net or lace fabrics; warp knitted fabrics. STAPLEFORD NET CO. Ltd. Feb. 9, 1960 [Feb. 16, 1959], No. 5292/59. Classes 74 (1) and 74 (2). Rubber or other rubber-like warp threads, which are entirely devoid of any helically wound coverings of yarn and which have previously been rendered smooth and slippery (in order that they shall readily flick off needles or other instrumentalities and shall not readily be penetrated or cut by needles during sewing) are embodied in net or lace fabrics which incorporate at least one set of warpwise extending and laterally connected or interconnected threads. A silicone may be used as the lubricant, which must not be readily removable from the thread, or attack rubber, or clog the machine. The fabric may be, say, a plain or bobbin net, twist net or lace, or a warp knitted fabric. Bobbin threads may be of a polyamide or polyester.

Abstract: 1,113,715. Separating oil and water. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ. 6 Feb.. 1967 [8 Feb., 1966], No. 5533/67. Heading BID. [Also in Division F2j A heterogeneous mixture of viscous oil and water is directed from pipe I on to a surface 2, and the relative viscosities ensure that the oil flows along the surface into tank 3 while the water flows laterally off the surface into tank 6. Gas directed by nozzles 9, 10, 11 on to the liquids may assist separation. The technique is applicable to pipe-lines, in which oil is separated from the pipe wall by a layer of water to reduce flow resistance and the water and oil must be separated before pumping at booster stations and at the end of the pipeline. The surface 2 is formed by a fixed plate. In Figs. 3, 4 (not shown) the plate (12) curves upwards towards the oil discharge end and has sidewalls (14). In Figs. 5, 6 (not shown) the surface is formed by an upwardly sloping travelling belt, driven by the delivery of mixture thereon or by a motor, and a scraper removes oil from the belt over the oil tank 3. In Figs. 7, 8 (not shown) the belt is horizontal and provided with lateral ribs. Dimensions and flow rates are exemplified. A rotary wheel or cylinder or roller conveyor could replace the travelling belt, and the belt may be roughened where the oil touches it.

Abstract: 159,465. Lunt, G. P. Feb. 25, 1920. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Volatile liquids, recovering.-Relates to a process for removing solvent from nitrocellulose explosives or other colloid substances such as indiarubber by means of an inert gas circulated in a closed circuit, in which the vapour of the solvent is removed from the gas by a spray of the solvent, or one of the constituents thereof, in a liquid form, or of a liquid in which the solvent is soluble, and consists in controlling the amount and proportions of the different constituents of the solvent condensed by regulating the temperature and volume of the condensing-liquids, so that evaporation takes place at a rate equal to that at which the solvent diffuses through the colloid, thus avoiding " blistering." The colloid is placed on sliding shelves b in a chamber a heated by hotwater pipes r, s. Dampers m, n are provided for cutting the chamber out of the circuit while it is being recharged, and an outlet o is provided with a damper p whereby air can be displaced when a heavy gas, such as carbon dioxide or sulphur dioxide, is used in the circuit.

Title: A construction process and apparatus therefor
Inventor: HANSFORD ROBERT JULIAN
IPC: B01J6/00
Filed: 1968-02-07
Abstract: 1,214,671. Glass manufacture. R. J. HANSFORD. 4 Feb., 1969 [7 Feb., 1968], No. 6173/68. Heading C1M. [Also in Division E1] In a construction process, raw materials for making glass are passed continuously into a chamber and through a hot zone of a heat source, whereby the material is transformed into a partially or completely molten state, and is then deposited from the chamber in superposed successive layers, each layer, except the first, adhering to the previous layer by virtue of its molten state, the layers then being allowed to cool. As shown, a housing 1, of metal with glass fibre insulation 7 and refractory cement lining 8, has a volute recess 9 with an oil burner 10 at the entrance. Raw material is supplied through duct 16 and passes into the air stream produced by a fan 12 and through a duct 14 to the burner 10. Alternatively, the material may pass through a duct 17 directly into the housing 1. The material is carried round the recess 9 and as they melt, the particles of material merge and the molten material flows towards the restricted outlet 19. In a further embodiment, melting is by carbon electrodes positioned either side of the chamber and movable along oppositely threaded shafts by a motor at a speed dependent on the current fed to the arc between the electrodes. Mounting.-The chamber is mounted as required according to the final construction desired. For example, for a circular building, it may be mounted on an arm from a screwthreaded pillar, the arm having a counterweight so that the chamber is set at the desired radius. After each revolution. the arm is raised by the depth of the applied layer, e.g. from <SP>1</SP>/ 8 th to 1/4 of an inch. For a dome or spire, the radius of revolution could be progressively decreased. For other constructions, the mounting may be varied for building, e.g. arches of bridges, large diameter pipes, rectangular or other shaped buildings or roads may be laid. Material.-Sand is the preferred material and part of the sand is preferably not fused but remains as a separate phase. Particles of glass may be used, or blast furnace slag, or a mixture of materials to make glass, for example, lime, soda ash and silica sand. Coal dust or coal mine waste may be added and once started, the coal dust may constitute the main fuel. Coloured products may be produced by appropriate raw materials.
