Title: Improvements in web-severing mechanisms
Inventor: COOK TOM CLIFFORD
IPC: B65B61/06
Filed: 1956-12-21
Abstract: 832,247. Feeding and severing wrappers. ROSE BROS. (GAINSBOROUGH) Ltd. Dec. 19, 1957 [Dec. 21, 1956; Jan. 24, 1957; Feb. 6, 1957],Nos. 38935/56, 2545/57 and 4014/57. Class 94(1). [Also in Group VIII] A web-severing mechanism comprises a stationary ledger blade 24 and oscillatable knife and stripper blades 26, 27 provided respectively with guiding and supporting surfaces 34, 36 which are ground to diverge rearwardly to form a tapered guiding channel 37 for the web. The blades are formed as two semi-cylindrical segments having their end portions fitting into recesses in collars so as to be oscillatable in bearings 32 by means of a cam- and link-operated arm 38. As shown, the severing mechanism is employed in a sweetwrapping machine in which a web 11 of wrapping material is fed intermittently into register with a pocket 14 of a rotary feed wheel 13 and is severed by the severing mechanism to form a wrapper 18 which, together with a sweet 19 contained in the pocket 14, is transferred to a waiting pocket in an intermittently rotatable mould wheel 21 by a reciprocating pusher 22 and a wrapper nipping member 23. Alternatively, the ledger blade may be oscillatable relatively to the knife blade or both blades may be oscillatable relatively to each other. According to the second Provisional Specification, the ledger blade may be pivotally mounted so as to be movable, after the cutting action, out of the path of upward movement of the wrapper. According to the third Provisional Specification, the stripper blade may be provided with supporting rods or fingers extending forwardly from the ledger blade towards the pocket of the rotary feed wheel.

Title: Emergency Locking Retractor for Safety Belts and the like
IPC: B64D25/06
Filed: 1967-08-24
Abstract: 1,189,889. Safety harness. FIRESTONE TIRE & RUBBER CO. 24 Aug., 1967 [20 March, 1967], No. 39043/67. Heading A3V. An emergency locking reel structure for use with body restraints in vehicles comprises a frame 12 in which is journalled a drum 13 on a shaft 24, the drum 13 having ratchet faces 15 on its end flanges 14, and a locking bar 16 which can rock in openings 51 in the frame 12 and which is moved into engagement with both ratchet faces 15 in response to belt acceleration so that the locking stresses are equally distributed in the frame 12. A safety belt 22 or cable (not shown) is wound on the drum 13 and is retracted by a spiral spring 26. The drum 13 is locked by the bar 16 which is moved by an inertia device 17. The shaft 24 has an extension 27 on to which is keyed a cam 30. A flywheel 31 is freely rotatable on the shaft 27 and rotates a clutch driver 29 having spider arms 58 which pass through openings 66 in the flywheel 31 and which is held against the cam 30 by a spring 34. When the drum 13 is suddenly accelerated the flywheel 31 and clutch driver 29 lag behind the rotation of the shaft 27 and wedges 62 on the clutch driver 29 ride up inclined surfaces 64 on the cam 30 to move the clutch driver 29 axially along the shaft 27. Detents 59 on the clutch driver 29 then engage a clutch plate 28, which is freely rotatable on the shaft 27, and cause the clutch plate 28 to rotate. A lever 23 is secured to the end of the locking bar 16 and has a lug 45 which engages a recess 56 in the clutch plate 28 so that rotation of the clutch plate 28 causes the lever 23 to tilt the locking bar 16 against the bias of spring 19 into engagement with the ratchets 15. The mechanism 17 can also be made responsive to vehicle acceleration by securing a weight (not shown) to the clutch plate 28 so that vehicle acceleration causes the clutch plate 28 to rotate and lock the drum 13.

Title: Preparation of catalytic cracking feedstocks
Inventor: DONGEN JAN ROELOF JOHAN VAN
IPC: C10G7/00
Filed: 1961-11-02
Abstract: Feedstock for a catalytic cracking operation is obtained by contacting the residue of a mineral oil left after vacuum flashing of the atmospheric distillation bottoms with the hot effluent from a catalytic cracking, the feedstock being obtained as a distillate by distilling the oil residue and effluent together.  The residue is preferably heated to 350-450 DEG  C. and contacted with effluent at 470-540 DEG  C.  One or more of the distillates from the crude is cracked in a first zone, e.g. in the presence of a suspended catalyst, and the effluent used to contact the oil.  Contact may be achieved by passing the oil and effluent separately or together into a distillation column, preferably introducing the effluent at the bottom and the oil 3-5 theoretical stages above, to obtain distillates of which at least one is fed to a second cracking zone, and part may be recycled to the first cracking zone.  The residue is preferably subjected to coking and the non-coke product separated into heavier and lighter fractions of which the former is cracked in the first cracking zone.  The lighter fraction together with the distillate obtained by the process of the invention is fed to the second cracking zone which may be a fluidized bed unit using used catalyst from the first zone.  The effluent from this second zone may be distilled wholly or in part in the same column as the effluent from the first zone.

Abstract: A process for the production of rolled sheet or extruded material or moulding powder formed therefrom comprises agitating with a plasticizer solid particles of a substantially water-insoluble cellulose derivative component, which component has not been dried and contains more than 20% by weight of water, and rolling the mixture of cellulose derivative component and plasticizer into the form of a sheet or extruding the said mixture into the required form or shape or forming moulding powder therefrom. The cellulose derivative component may contain more than 50% by weight of water, especially 1 to 2 1/2 parts by weight of water to 1 part by weight of the cellulose derivative, solid particles of which are approximately 1/4 inch in size. Cellulose acetate is specified as a suitable cellulose derivative.  Specified plasticizers include diethyl phthalate, dimethyl phthalate, and a mixture of the two with or without a solid plasticizer, e.g. triphenyl phosphate.  Solid particles of the cellulose derivative component may be agitated with a plasticizer in the presence of suitable colouring or pigment material and/or filler material.  Suitably, the mixture of the cellulose derivative component and plasticizer is processed on hot compounding rolls to form sheet material which is either diced and cut or broken up to form moulding powder or further processed on hot calenders to obtain smooth sheet material of predetermined thickness. Alternatively, the mixture of the cellulose derivative component and plasticizer is extruded in an extrusion apparatus suitably vented to allow for removal of water, the extrudate being cut or broken up into moulding powder.
