Title: Improved Means of Adjustably Connecting a Magneto and a Gear-box with a Common Bracket of a Motor-cycle.
Inventor: POOLE STEPHEN CAREY
IPC: B62M7/00
Filed: 1917-11-21
Abstract: 119,745. Poole, S. C., and Smith, F. W. A. Nov. 21, 1917. Chain and like adjusters.-The gear-box and magneto of a motor-cycle are adjustably mounted on a bracket by means of a clamp which secures both of them to the bracket. The base-plate D of the magneto B rests on an inverted U-shaped bracket A forming part of the lower frame members of the cycle and has tongues i engaging in slots in the bracket for guiding the magneto during longitudinal adjustment. The top-plate C' of the gear-box fits against guiding-slots c in the lower edges of the bracket. A pair of bevelled clamps E engage the correspondingly bevelled edges of the base-plate and top-plate and being bolted together, as by bolts g, secure the magneto and gear-box to the bracket. By slackening the bolts, the parts can be adjusted longitudinally. The adjustment of the gear-box can be facilitated by means of a screwed stud K and a centrally recessed screwed bush k, which engages lugs a<2> projecting from. the frame. A similar arrangement may be applied to the magneto.
Patent GB-584330-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to distillation
IPC: C11C1/10
Filed: 1944-09-08
Abstract: <PICT:0584330/III/1> <PICT:0584330/III/2> A liquid is distilled by preheating it to a temperature above that of the vapours in a still at a pressure above that therein and then admitting it to a space in the still of which the horizontal cross section is circular and which extends vertically upwards from the point of admission towards an outlet, the liquid being directed into the space through one or more nozzles in directions having substantial tangential and horizontal components so that the vapours follow spiral paths as they pass upwardly through the still.  Steam may be admitted to the still below the level of the liquid inlet nozzles.  The process is particularly applicable to the distillation of fatty acids.  Crude fatty acids, heated to about 270 DEG C., are introduced through nozzles 13 into a still 1 maintained at a temperature of 200 DEG C. and a pressure of about 6 to 12 mm., and provided with a heating jacket 5 and an inner drum 9 the lower portion of which, i.e., the portion below partition 12, is also heated.  Substantial volatilization occurs and the vapours formed swirl rapidly around the drum 9 towards the gooseneck 3 which is connected to a total condenser, or to several partial condensers, or, if sharp fractionation is required to a rectifying column.  Steam, if used, is superheated to 270 DEG C. and introduced through nozzles 13a, which are disposed similarly to nozzles 13, and enhance the spiral swirling effect.  The non-volatilized material flows down the heated walls of the still, thereby evaporating further, and is collected in drum 21, or passed, via a heat exchanger, to a second still.  Diphenyl and diphenyloxide may be used to preheat the feed and also to heat the jacket 5 and drum 9. Alternatively, electrical induction heating may be applied.  The process may also be used for the deodorization of fats and fatty acids.

Abstract: 885,392. Control of motors. ASSOCIATED ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. May 13, 1958 [May 30, 1957]. No. 17217/57. Class 38 (3). [Also in Group XXX] An electric control system for a lift drive comprises two switches S S2 connected in parallel in a control circuit for disabling the drive, e.g. by switching off the driving motor, switch S1 being operated by a centrifugal governor G1 driven from the winding motor 4 and switch S2 being operated by a centrifugal governor G2 driven from the winding drum 3 for the lift cage 1, there being a mechanical driving connection (not shown) between the motor 4 and the drum 3. The arrangement is such that the drive is disabled when either switch opens. Switch S1 opens when the speed of governor G1 rises above that corresponding to a lift speed of five feet per second and switch S2 closes when the speed of governor G2 rises above that corresponding to a lift speed of four feet per second, so that the drive is disabled if the speeds of the two governors vary by more than a predetermined amount, e.g. owing to slippage in the driving connection between the motor 4 and the drum 3.

Abstract: 624,159. Converting. ERICSSON TELEPHONES, Ltd., and DISTIN. L. S. July 8, 1947, No. 17960. [Class 38 (ii)] Upon failure of A.C. output from an inverter circuit a relay operates to substitute one electomagnetic interrupter for another. When a starter switch is closed, contacts S2 operate to energize an interrupter comprising an operating coil VA and contacts VA1. VA2, VA3, and contacts S1 close in the DC circuit to a relay CO. The latter does not operate, at first because of a time delay produced by a copper slug, and then because of D.C. in a second winding, cancelling the effect of D.C. in the first winding, which second winding is connected in parallel with a rectifier BR across the output terminals OG of a transformer TR, the centre tapped primary PR of which is energized from the interrupter. A resistance RB limits the primary current at first, but this resistance is cut-out after a time delay by a relay P, also energized through contacts S2. When the A.C. output fails, and with it the D.C. through the second winding of relay CO, that relay operates to move contacts CO1 CO2, C03, whereby a second interrupter having an operating coil VB and contacts VB1, VB2, VB3 is connected in the circuit in place of the first interrupter ; contacts C04 are opened to prevent the second coil of relay CO from being energized ; contacts CO5 temporally removes the short-circuit across resistance RB to protect the second interrupter as it starts up ; and contacts C06 close to operate an audible or visual alarm LP.

Title: Alkylation transalkylation process
IPC: C07C2/68
Filed: 1960-05-23
Abstract: Aromatic hydrocarbons are mono-alkylated by reactng an excess with an alkylating agent in the presence of boron trifluoride and a boron trifluoride-modified, solid, refractory inorganic oxide to effect alkylation, adding to the effluent a recycle stream of polyalkylated aromatic hydrocarbon and passing with boron trifluoride over a boron trifluoride modified inorganic oxide to effect transalkylation and recovering from the product unreacted aromatic hydrocarbon which is recycled to the alkylation, monoalkylated hydrocarbon product and polyalkyl hydrocarbon which is recycled to the transalkylation.  The aromatic hydrocarbon may have one or more rings and may contain alkyl groups and the alkylation agent may be an olefin, polyolefin, cycloolefin, acetylene or an alkyl ester e.g. alkyl halide, sulphate or phosphate, and may be diluted with nonreactive components, e.g. in a refinery stream.  The alkylation of benzene with ethylene is exemplified.  The molar ratio of aromatic to alkylating agent may be 4-20:1 and boron trifluoride is added in amounts of 0.1 milligram to 0.8 gram per gram mol of alkylating agent.  An inert diluent may be present.  The inorganic oxide may be of aluminium, zirconium, silicon, magnesium, boron, phosphorus, mixtures of such oxides or diatomaceous earth or bauxite and may be premodified or modified in situ during the reaction.  The alkylation may be effected at 50-250 DEG C., 1-100 atmospheres maintaining the aromatic hydrocarbon liquid, and a space velocity of 0.1-20 vol./vol./hr.  The transalkylation is preferably effected under more severe conditions, e.g. at a higher p  temperature in the range 100-300 DEG C., by adding further boron trifluoride or by using more modified oxide.
