Title: Improvements in hydrocarbon oil emulsions
IPC: C09K23/00
Filed: 1949-07-27
Abstract: An emulsion of water or aqueous liquid in a continuous phase consisting wholly or mainly of hydrocarbon oil contains, as a dispersing and stabilizing agent, a partial ester of a polyhydric alcohol, said ester having a polymerized radicle of a fatty acid having at least eight carbon atoms and being present in such amount that the emulsion is thermo-stable.  The hydrocarbon oil may be derived from crude mineral oil, coal, soft coal, lignite, peat or wood, and the other component of the continuous phase, if present, may be a fatty oil, fat, a higher fatty acid ester of a monohydric alcohol or wax.  The disperse phase may be water or an aqueous solution of a textile-treating agent.  The polyhydric alcohol partial ester may be derived from polymerized soybean oil, polymerized and oxidized soybean oil, or a fatty acid thereof, or from any other drying or semi-drying oils, oil mixtures, fats, fat mixtures or oil-fat mixtures.  The polyhydric alcohol may be polyglycerol, glycol, polyglycol, mannitol or sorbitol.  The emulsion may be used in the textile industry.  In an example soybean oil is polymerised by heating to about 250 DEG C. until the iodine number falls below 100 and the oil becomes tough and viscous.  It is then, while warm, re-esterified by heating to about 250 DEG C. with 12 per cent of polyglycerol until a homogeneous reaction mixture is obtained.  The polyglycerol may be of viscosity above 1,000 centipoises, for example between about 1,500 and 4,000 centipoises at 50 DEG C.  Two parts by weight of this re-esterified product are mixed with 58 parts by weight of spindle oil and 80 parts of water are mechanically dispersed therein. The emulsion is thermo-stable at 100 DEG C.

Title: Improvements in and relating to prepayment meter mechanism
IPC: G07F15/04
Filed: 1932-07-13
Abstract: 404,338. Prepayment mechanism for meters. MEASUREMENT, Ltd., and HOLDEN, F., Terminal House, Lower Belgrave Street, London. July 13, 1932, No. 19794. [Class 27.] In prepayment meter mechanism of the kind in which the additive part of the mechanism is actuated to an amount proportional to any of a number of predetermined coins of different denomination, the subtractive part being actuated by the consumption of commodity, energy imparted to a spring, on the insertion and manipulation of a coin of any predetermined denomination, is utilised to rotate a member by which motion is imparted to the additive part of the mechanism to an extent corresponding to the value of the coin. As applied to a prepayment electricity meter taking pennies and shillings, when a switch closing arm a, Figs. 1 and 4, is moved by a handle c, it rotates a box o to wind up a spring n, Fig. 2, one end of, which is attached to the box and the other to a toothed wheel p. The box is rigid with a ratchet wheel k driven by a pawl j on a spindle f which is connected through a torsion spring g, crank e and link d to the arm a. Overwinding is prevented by the torsion spring g and backward rotation of the ratchet wheel k by a pawl m. The wheel p meshes with a pinion q on a shaft having fixed thereto a wheel r which drives through gearing the additive side of a differential quantity mechanism. Normally the wheel r is prevented from being rotated by the spring n, by sun wheels t, u loose on its shaft and meshing with a planet wheel s mounted on the wheel, the sun wheels being held by detents 6, w. The detent 6 engages a single-notched disc 5 geared to the sun wheel t, while the detent w engages a disc v rigid with the sunwheel u and having six notches. The detents 6, ware tripped by the insertion and movement of shillings and pennies respectively, to allow different rotations of the wheel r, a too rapid rotation of which is prevented by an inertia controlled escapement member in the gearing between it and the quantity mechanism. Coin action, mechanical-connection.-The coins are inserted through a slot 26, Fig. 1, to a pocket 23 on the end of the arm a, and are located by a sloping side 24 of the pocket so that a penny is opposite to and actuates a lever 9, when the arm a is moved, and a shilling at lever 25. The penny 12, Fig. 2, during a short part only of its travel, rocks the lever 9 against the action of a spring 22. The lever 9 has pivoted thereto, a spring controlled tappet 8, a shoulder 19 on which, during the return of the lever 9, engages a pin 7 on the detent w to release the latter momentarily from the notched disc v. The end of the tappet 8 is sloped and, when this slope engages a fixed stop 13, the tappet is moved away from the pin 7 and allows the detent again to engage the disc v. Similar mechanism is provided in connection with the shilling release wheel 5.

Abstract: 314,802. Associated Telephone & Telegraph Co., (Assignees of Bellamy, J. 1.). July 2, 1928, [Convention date]. Automatic exchange systems. - In a group selector in which the release relav B is rendered slow-to-release by short-circuiting, the changeover relay C operates in parallel with the vertical magnet V during the setting movement, and in parallel with the release magnet RL during release in order to guard the selector. When line relay A energizes, release relay B pulls up in series with the vertical magnet V, and the latter is operated at each impulse by the short-circuiting of relay B. Relay C energizes at the first impulse in series with the release magnet RL and holds between impulses through relay B, while, as soon as the off-normal contacts are operated, stepping relay D energizes and locks, and, after relay C falls back, interacts with the rotary magnet RO in the usual manner. Upon release, switching relay E connects up the release magnet RL, and relay C operates in a parallel circuit in series with the vertical magnet V, connecting up relay D to guard the selector. The lighting of the lamp L2 indicates that a selector has failed to release.

Title: Improvements in the production of filaments and similar shaped articles
IPC: D01F2/02
Filed: 1944-10-17
Abstract: Filaments and similar shaped articles of regenerated cellulose are obtained by extruding solutions in aqueous alkali of cellulose which has been oxidised with periodic acid or nitrogen tetroxide through shaped orifices into acid coagulating media to precipitate the cellulose in the required form.  Solutions of oxidised cellulose in aqueous sodium, potassium or barium hydroxide are employed, and to effect solution of lowly oxidised cellulose it may be necessary to cool the solution to temperatures below 0 DEG  C. To the solution an amphoteric metal, e.g. zinc, tin or aluminium or an oxide thereof may be added.  The coagulating bath, the temperature of which lies between 0-50 DEG  C., is preferably a dilute aqueous solution of an acid, e.g. formic, acetic or chloracetic acid or sulphuric, hydrochloric or phosphoric acid to which may be added sodium sulphate, zinc sulphate, glucose, magnesium sulphate or aluminium sulphate.  The filaments may be stretched simultaneously with or just subsequent to their extrusion.  Delustring and colouring agents may be incorporated in the spinning solution and the filaments may be subsequently dyed. The cellulose, e.g. cotton or cotton linters is oxidised by exposure to the vapours of nitrogen tetroxide at 20-70 DEG  C., or by immersion in a solution of nitrogen tetroxide in benzene. Alternatively, the cellulose is oxidised by treatment in an aqueous solution of periodic acid at 0-50 DEG  C.  In the examples: (1) cellulose is oxidised by treatment in aqueous periodic acid, washed, dried and dissolved in aqueous sodium hydroxide containing zinc.  The solution is extruded as filaments into a coagulating bath comprising aqueous sulphuric acid containing sodium and zinc sulphates; (2) cellulose oxidised by nitrogen tetroxide vapours is washed, dried and dissolved in aqueous sodium hydroxide.  The solution is then extruded as filaments into the coagulating bath employed in (1).  Specification 573,767 is referred to.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also the use of cellulose which has been oxidised by potassium permanganate, hydrogen peroxide, hypochlorites, chromic acid, persulphates, ozone and nascent oxygen and the process is also said to be suitable for the manufacture of films and foils.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
