Title: Improvements in or relating to electric filters
IPC: B63B1/38
Filed: 1932-04-09
Abstract: 395,111. Valve circuits. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP PHILIPS' GLOEILAMPENFABRIEKEN, 13D, Emmasingel, Eindhoven, Holland. April 9, 1932, No. 10246. Convention date, April 25, 1931. [Classes 40 (iii) and 40 (v).] A filter having a characteristic 1 in the absence of dissipation or 2 when the impedance elements have appreciable resistance is flattened to forms 3, 4, by different degrees of backcoupling to the input valve. Preferably the coupling impedance is constituted by part of the resistance R2, the remainder of which provides coupling to a second valve through an output transformer T. The invention utilizes the fact that the phase-lag introduced by the filter varies with frequency: the voltage fed back at the peak frequency C is in opposite phase to the input voltage at that frequency. In the example shown the amplification at frequencies A, C, E is reduced by the back-coupling and at frequencies B, D; it is increased. The terminal impedances are matched to the filter.

Title: Improvements in the production of potassium nitrate
IPC: C01D9/08
Filed: 1930-04-01
Abstract: Aluminium oxide and nitrate; calcium chloride.--Potassium nitrate is obtained by heating a mixture of potassium chloride and aluminium nitrate, say at 200 DEG  C., until the evolution of chlorine and nitrous gases ceases, dissolving out potassium nitrate with hot water or nitrate solutions and recovering it therefrom by crystallization. The alumina remaining, whilst still moist, is reconverted to nitrate, preferably using the nitrous gases evolved during the heating after the chlorine has been separated by passage over heated lime.  70-75 per cent excess of aluminium nitrate should be used to ensure complete expulsion of chlorine.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the following subject-matter:--If molecular (? equivalent) quantities of nitrate and chloride are used about 35 per cent of potassium chloride remains unconverted.  In this case the residue is lixiviated with water at 25 DEG  C. or below to extract the whole of the potassium chloride and some potassium nitrate, the resulting solution being evaporated down until at 100 DEG  C. most of the potassium chloride separates out. In cooling potassium nitrate containing about 4 per cent chloride is crystallized, from which pure potassium nitrate may be obtained by lixiviation with water or mother liquor.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the stabilization of alcohols and esters
IPC: C07C67/48
Filed: 1951-05-04
Abstract: An iso-octyl phthalate stabilized with diphenylol propane is used as a plasticizer for polyvinyl chloride resins, cf. example 4, and the physical properties of the resin thus obtained compared with those of similar resins in which the stabilizers are 2,6 - tert. - butyl - 4 - methyl phenol and phenyl b -naphthylamine. The resins also contained lead stearate and a sodium organo phosphate.ALSO:Branched chain alcohols or mixtures of such alcohols or esters derived from such alcohols and carboxylic acids are stabilized by the addition of a small quantity of a compound of formula <FORM:0690847/IV (b)/1> wherein R1 is an alkyl radicle of 1 to 4 C atoms and R2 and R3 are hydroxy phenyl or alkylated hydroxy phenyl groups, preferably p-hydroxyphenyl.  Diphenylol propane is the preferred stabilizer although other compounds are specified such as 2,2 - bis - (4 - hydroxy - 5 - methyl phenyl)- and 2,2-bis-(4-hydroxy-5-isopropyl phenyl)-propane. C7-C9 alcohols made by the oxo synthesis are particularly mentioned and their esters with dicarboxylic acids such as phthalic acid.  Other synthetic branched-chain alcohols, e.g. 2-ethyl hexanol, may also be treated.  The esters may be made by known methods and preferably 0.4-4.0 per cent by weight of alcohol of bisphenol is added to the reaction mixture.  Crude oxo alcohols are preferably purified by distillation and treatment with caustic.  The bisphenol is added in quantities of 0.2-4.0, preferably 0.3-0.5 per cent by weight of alcohol and 0.02-0.25 per cent by weight of ester. In examples: (1) isooctyl alcohol is stabilized with 0.25 per cent of diphenylol propane; (2) 0.2 per cent by weight of diphenylol propane, based on alcohol, is added to a reaction mixture consisting of iso-octyl alcohol and phthalic anhydride; and (3) 0.25 per cent of diphenylol propane is added to di-iso-octyl adipate, di-iso-octyl sebacate, iso-tridecyl laurate and isotridecyl isotridecanoate.

A pipe joint including male and female components, one of which has a tapered circumference, incorporates a gasket such as 6, Fig. 4, having at least two radially extending protuberances 9, 10, on one peripheral surface for contacting the peripheral surface of the other pipe component, and a radially extending protuberance 12, located opposite a cavity 11 between the protuberances, for contacting the said tapered circumference. The gasket is deformed under the action of compression forces into a substantially rectangular configuration, Fig. 5, in cross-section. In Fig. 4, where the pipe end 3 is tapered at 5 and has a cylindrical section, 4 providing an annular surface 19 and shoulder 18, and the coupling component 1 has an annular groove 2 with end walls 8 and 16, the cavity 11 is included between radial protuberances 9, 10 and the protuberance 12, opposite the cavity, faces inwards, touching the tapered portion 5 when initial contact is made with the pipe. In the assembled position, Fig. 5, the gasket 6 has deformed to a rectangular shape, fitting in the groove 2, the wall 8 co-operating with the shoulder 18 in preventing gasket blow-out due to internal pressure. The effect of the protuberances 9, 10 is to minimize the tendency of the gasket to turn in the groove. Then the coupling component is inwardly tapered, Fig. 6, the protuberances 42, 43 which include the cavity 44 face inwards and the opposite protuberance 45 faces outwards. The co-operation between the elements of the joint is the same as in the first arrangement.

Title: Improvements relating to agricultural mowing machines
IPC: A01D34/03
Filed: 1943-06-30
Abstract: 566,593 . Agricultural mowers. BAMFORD. C. J., and BAMFORD, H. V. June 30, 1943, Nos. 10571 and 18443. [Class 6 (iii)] Relates to agricultural mowing machines of the kind in which the mower frame and cutter bar swing backwardly about a vertical axis when an obstruction is encountered, thus preventing' damage to the cutting mechanism. According to the invention, the mower 15 is attached to a turntable 27 which pivots about a substantially vertical axis on a bracket 10 mounted on a draw-bar of a tractor, the pivotal joint being releasably locked by spring- loaded means, such as a roller 25, mounted on the bracket or on the turntable, engaging with a cam surface or abutment 34 on the other member. Further, the mower is connected to the turntable by a pivoted joint 29, Figs. 1 and 3, about a horizontal transverse axis, or alternatively a similar joint 46, Fig. 5, is provided between the bracket 10 and the tractor draw-bar. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 3, the turntable pivots on a vertical pin 26 mounted on the bracket 10 and is formed with lugs 28 which. receive the horizontal pin 29 about which pivots a U-shaped swinging bracket 30 connected to the mower. The bracket 10, which is secured to the tractor draw-bar 12, has an arm 13 which houses the spring-urged roller 25, the pin 22 of which extends through a guide slot 23 in the bracket. The roller normally engages in an arcuate recess 38 of an arm 33 formed integrally with the turntable and thus holds the mower in its operative position. When the mower encounters an obstruction, the mower swings about the pin 26 and the roller rides along the cam surface 34 until it encounters an end stop 35. The parts are restored to their operative positions by backing the tractor towards the mower. In the modification shown in Fig. 5, the mower is rigidly connected to the turntable and the bracket pivots about a pin 46 on arms 49 connected to the tractor draw-bar. The arm 13 housing the roller is radially disposed with respect to the pin 26 and is provided with an arm 51 carrying a bell 52. The spring- controlled lever mechanism 53, 61, actuating this bell is tripped by the end stop 35 when the mower and turntable rotate and thus an audible indication is given to the driver that an obstruction has been encountered. The bell may be operated electrically. A tension spring 63 may be provided as shown between the mower and the arm 13 to assist in returning the parts to their operative positions.
