Title: Improvements in the process of and apparatus for the manufacture of cocoa and chocolate
IPC: A23G1/04
Filed: 1919-05-31
Abstract: 141,953. Whitham, F. E. May 31, 1919. Cocoa manufacture.-Relates to a process and apparatus for grinding cocoa, grading the ground materials, and using it for different purposes, including special methods of treatment during grinding. The operations take place in an insulated and sealed chamber 1, heated to about 130‹ F. by radiators 2. The cocoa at this temperature and under the influence of grinding becomes liquid and is treated by decantation processes. From the grinder 3 the cocoa passes through chamber 7 to one side 35 of a long inclined tube 11 divided by a partition 12 leaving a space at the bottom of the tube where unground material accumulates and whence it is renewed bv an elevator for regrinding. The ground material passes up the other side 36 of the tube 11 and enters a chamber 15 through slots 37, Fig. 3. The chamber 15 is divided into compartments, and in them the heavier portions of the cocoa sink to the bottom and pass through pipes 18 to mixers 20, 23 made in compartments to corresponding with the compartments of the chamber 15, and thence to cooled moulds 26. The lighter portions of the cocoa, including the fat, pass from the chamber 15 through slots 38, preferably not opposite to the slots 37, to separate compartments of a chamber 16, where sugar, flavouring materials, &c. may be added to them, and whence they pass to a partitioned mixer 33, and thence to moulds. Fat may be added or withdrawn as desired through a pipe 28 entering the chamber 15 on a level with the bottom of the slots 38. Means are described for applying air pressure to assist the flow of the liquid. The beans may be subjected to a preliminary treatment consisting of freezing, grinding, and extracting a portion of fat. A suitable ferment, such as malt, may be added to the cocoa to hydrolyze the starch, peptonize the albuminoids, and produce a lactic fermentation of the cellulose. The peptonizing action can be checked, when requisite, by the action of the mixers, and the lactic fermentation by the addition of an alkali, preferably ammonia, by pipes 43. A modified form of apparatus, especially suitable for carrying out the last process, is described, in which the chamber 1 is divided into compartments which are kept at different temperatures, and a current of air can be introduced into the cocoa under treatment.

Title: Improvements in or relating to arrangements for automatically flashing electric lamps
IPC: H05B41/34
Filed: 1951-06-12
Abstract: 706,344. Switching systems for electric lamps. GENERAL ELECTRIC CO., Ltd., and HERWALD, N. June 4, 1952 [June 12, 1951], No. 13930/51. Class 38 (4) An arrangement for automatically flashing one or more lamps, discharge or incandescent, in a predetermined on-off sequence, as is required for airport beacon systems, comprises at least one grid-controlled thermionic valve serially connected in one of the supply leads to the lamps, a relay to vary the voltage applied to the valve grid to cause the valve and hence the lamps to be either conductive or otherwise, and a multiple contact switch having an automatically driven wiper to operate the relay in accordance with the. predetermined lamp flashing sequence. In Fig. 2, wherein one or a plurality of series connected discharge lamps 1 are supplied by transformers 2 arranged one between each of the phases B, Y, R and neutral N of a three phase supply, only the switching means RS of the end phase is shown in detail. Therein the circuit to the appropriate transformer 2 is made or broken by two inversely parallel connected thyratrons 6 to the grids of which is applied, depending upon the position of relay contacts R1, R2, an alternating voltage from the secondary winding of a transformer 8 which voltage is phase advanced relative to the anode voltage by a network 10, 11, or a negative bias from rectifiers 13. The switch Sl comprises two telephone type uni-selection contact banks 18, 19 each having a wiper arm 16, 17 displaced 180 degrees from each other and driven by 1, 2 or 3 phase synchronous motor 4, so that by earthing certain contacts, but not others, the wiper arms alternatively make and break a D.C. circuit from a rectifier 5 through the coils of relays RR &c. to earth to flash all the lamps in such sequence. To give warning of failure of the motor 4 a switch S2 similar to switch S1 but having alternate contacts interconnected is also driven by the motor 4 so that two relay coils CC, DD one always energized when the motor rotates, but when it stops one or other of the coils is de-energized to open its appropriate contact C1 or D1 to switch on the lamps 1, and to close contacts C2, D2 of alarm circuits 44. Transformers 24 heat the thyratron filaments, and a thermal delay switch 33 having a heater resistor 34 and a bimetallic strip 45, and optionally, a remote control switch 40, controls a coil 36 operating contactor contacts 37 ... 39 to apply anode voltage to the valves 6 only after heating of their filaments. For servicing and changing the flashing code, the switch S1 may be of the "plug-in" type. For operating incandescent lamps, the transformers may be dispensed with.
