Title: Machine for processing forage crops of variable moisture content
IPC: B30B11/20
Filed: 1966-02-24
Abstract: 1,114,700. Wafering forage crop. MASSEY-FERGUSON SERVICES N.V. 24 Feb., 1966 [25 Feb., 1965], No. 8096/66. Heading A2B. In watering forage crop material the crop is picked up and chopped, by a rotary flail type unit (not shown), conveyed by shoot (not shown) via hood 28 to a trough or chamber 53 where it is lacerated by skids 55 on rotating shaft 39 and treated with warm air entering through apertures 85, and then pushed into wafering chamber 30 having annular die cells 33 with the aid of auger flights 51, 52. The skids 55 are pivotally mounted on arms 56 on shaft 39 and spring loaded arms 57 limited the outward movement of the skids due to the centrifugal force as shaft 39 rotates. The skids 55 have a pivotally mounted scraper shoe 62 to aid the movement of the crop towards the wafering chamber 30. The delivery shoot (not shown) and hood 28 is movable along trough 53 relative to the wafering chamber 30 due to a telescopic connection between the housing 32 containing the wafering chamber 30 and the hood 28 to regulate the distance the crop has to move through the trough 53 to the wafering chamber 30. This regulates the time the crop is lacterated and is treated with warm air in accordance with the moisture content of the crop fed to the trough 53. The movement of hood 28 is manually controlled.

Title: Improved method of dissolving aluminiferous raw materials by means of sulphuric acid or acid sulphates
IPC: C01F7/743
Filed: 1927-04-04
Abstract: 269,174. Jacobsson, R. April 6, 1926, [Convention date]. Aluminium sulphate; alums. - Aluminous materials, such as clay, bauxite, or aluminium silicates, are treated with sulphuric acid or a solution of an acid sulphate of sodium, potassium, or ammonium, in an autoclave under pressure, the aluminous material in the form of a silt, and the sulphuric acid &c., being supplied separately or together at a regulated speed to the autoclave, or one only of the reaction materials may be so supplied, the other being initially present in the autoclave. The reaction is preferably carried out at a temperature of not less than 185 C. and at a pressure which may be ten atmospheres, and the solution obtained is separated from silica and other insolubles at a temperature of not less than 120 C. By drawing off the reaction products continuously or intermittently and supplying fresh quantities of the reaction materials to the autoclave, the process may be made continuous, the reaction products being led into a settling tank from which the clear solution overflows and may thence be passed, if necessary, through a filter. Preferably the aluminous material, before use, is acid treated to expel gases such as carbon dioxide and sulphuretted hydrogen, and the water content of the reaction mixture is so adjusted that the resulting solution contains not more than 18 molecules of water to each molecule of sulphate. The solution then sets on cooling to a hard mass, or the product may be obtained in the form of grains by spraying the partially cooled solution into a cooling-chamber.

A coolant flow restrictor for use in a coolant channel in the core of a fluid cooled nuclear reactor, of the type having a plurality of vertical channels through which the coolant flows upwards, comprises an outer fixed member adapted to be attached to the wall of the channel and having a longitudinally extending duct therein, an inner removable member located partly within the duct in the outer member, and an annular path for the passage of coolant extending along the duct and longitudinally between the two members, the annular path being formed with a lower stage having a cross-sectional area which is progressively reduced in the direction of coolant flow followed by a stage having a substantially constant crosssectional area. The arrangement is designed to minimise the force exerted by the coolant on the removable part of the gag. In Fig. 2, the coolant flow is restricted by a nozzle 2 which carries a support 3 for the removable part 4 of the gag. At the lower end of 4 above the point where it is supported by 3 there is a conical portion 7. In a modification of this, Fig. 3 (not shown), the conical portion 7 is surmounted by an inverted conical portion. In another arrangement, Fig. 4 (not shown), member 2 is cylindrical and member 4 is bullet-shaped. Fig. 5 shows a gag for use in fuel channels which are provided with two longitudinal slots 23, 24 in an otherwise cylindrical channel. The fixed member 25 is secured to the reactor core by a flange. The removable member comprises a thin plate 34 which extends across the channel and has thicker edges which engage the slots 23, 24; a cylindrical part 37 has projections which extend on either side of plate 34 and are bolted to it.

The sections may be differently or parti-coloured to produce patterned sheets. When making cellular sheet a composition is moulded into sections which are preferably ¥ to 1 inch thick and not over 2 inches wide from inner to outer surface. The sections are arranged with metal disc separators 4, Fig. 2, between them in an autoclave where they are partially vulcanized in nitrogen under pressure as described in Specification 368,967. The sections are then cemented together and finally vulcanized and expanded by means of an open cure.

Abstract: 370,179. Water-tube steam boilers. STIRLING BOILER CO., Ltd. and SUMMERS, G. ; 32, Farringdon Street, London. March 27, 1931, No. 9416. [Class 123 (ii).] Water-tube boilers having an upper steam and water drum or drums connected by banks of tubes with a lower drum or drums have tubes of the row or rows adjacent to the side walls of the combustion chamber projected beyond the normal bank or banks so as to absorb heat and reduce radiation from the walls. A boiler having a mud drum D connected to steam and water drums C, E by tube banks B, F, G has the side walls A<1> partly covered by tubes projected from the adjacent row of each bank. Thus tubes 1 . . 5 of the front bank row are projected beyond the bank and tube 6 is projected far enough to fill the gap. Tubes 1a .. 5a of occasional rows of bank B are also projected into the combustion chamber. Tubes 7 .. 11 of the end rows of bank F are similarly projected into the triangular space 5 and tubes 12 .. 15 of the end rows of bank G are projected rearwardly. Every or every other tube 15 may be projected to form a cooling surface for the rear wall 16. One or more rows of tubes may be projected in the central space of boilers between a pair of superheaters. In the case of settings having stepped side walls tubes of the second row are projected so as to lie adjacent the walls.

The end is supported on a p  table 7, Fig. 1, rotated from a power shaft 8, Fig. 2, arranged beneath the table 7 through gears 8a, 8b, 8c, 8d, the shaft 9 of table 7 being arranged to move the table vertically by a rocking lever 10 connected by a rod 10a to a cam 27 on a cam shaft 15 driven by a chain 16 through a clutch 17 from shaft 8.  The clutch is actuated by a pedal 17a, and is such that momentary actuation of the pedal permits shaft 15 to make one complete revolution only.  The viscous material is supplied through nozzles 11, 12 at diametrically opposite points, the nozzles containing valves actuated from cams 18, 19 through rocker arms 20, 21, pull rods 22, 23, and wire connections 22a, 23a.  The valves remain open in one complete revolution only of the table 7.  The container end is clamped when table 7 rises by a chuck pad 26 actuated from a cam 24 through a rocker arm 25, the chuck pad having an impressible link section shown in Fig. 4, rod 26 being secured to the inner race of a ball bearing 29 freely slidable to a cage 26b.  The rings of viscous material may remain separate or may coalesce. The end carrying the gasket may be heated at 200--230 DEG  F. for 2 or 3 hours.  With the compositions described, a tough film forms which is expanded by the steam generated and may form a tube or may form a sponge rubber gasket.  For some types of gasket, sulphur and accelerators are omitted.
