Title: Improvements in tube bending
Inventor: PARRIS LESLIE STEVENS
IPC: B21C37/28
Filed: 1955-04-07
Abstract: 800,633. Bending tubes. GREEN & SON, Ltd., E. April 6, 1956 [April 7, 1955], No. 10269/55. Classes 83 (2) and 83 (4). A method of bending a, tube comprises first, bending the tube in a direction opposite that of the final bend, then bending the thus bent tube back in a direction opposite the first bend and then applying pressure to the inside of the thus partly-formed bend to move the tube between two spaced members to cause the limbs of the tube to move towards one another to form the final bend. A tube 1 first heated locally over the area to form the inside of the first bend is bent, by a 'bending former 3 moved between pivoted guide blocks 2, to form a bend of an inclusive angle of about 140 degrees and thickened at 6 on the inside. The thus bent tube first heated locally over the area B to form the inside of the second bend is bent back in the opposite direction to form a bend of an inclusive angle of about 120 degrees in this opposite direction. The inner wall of the bend is thus thickened while the outer wall remains in its already thickened condition. The former 8 used to effect this bending is shaped so as to ovalize the bend so that the longer axis of the oval is perpendicular to the plane of the bend. The legs of the part formed bend are then closed parallel to one another by a suitably shaped member 12 which pushes the tube between pivoted guide blocks 13 and shaped rollers 15, the ovality of the tube at the bend providing a clearance 17 between the bend and the member 12 to allow the inside wall to thicken without restricting the throat of the bend. A final sizing operation by squeezing the previously heated bend between a pair of shaped dies may be effected. The heating of the first two steps may be electric induction or flame heating. According to the Provisional Specification the first bend is formed to an inclusive angle of about 60 degrees and the final bending may be effected after local heating.

Title: Selective hydrogenation of diolefins
IPC: C07C5/03
Filed: 1960-03-23
Abstract: The selective hydrogenation of diolefins present in minor quantity in a C4-C5 hydrocarbon stream containing monoolefins is accomplished by passing the hydrocarbon stream with hydrogen over a sulphided cobalt molybdate catalyst at 200 DEG -700 DEG F. and maintaining sufficient hydrogen sulphide pressure to maintain the catalyst in a sulphided state such that the molar ratio of sulphur to cobalt plus molybdenum is at least 1.  The mol. ratio of hydrogen to dienes may be 3-40:1, the pressure 1-25 atmospheres and the LHSV up to 12 vols./vol./hr. The catalyst may contain prior to sulphidation, 8-18% of mixed molybdenum and cobalt oxides in a weight ratio of about 4:1 to 5:1. Nickel or chromium oxide may also be present.  Freshly sulphided there should be no oxygen remaining bound to molybdenum or cobalt. Preferably the sulphur to cobalt and molybdenum ratio is maintained by maintaining a partial pressure of hydrogen sulphide of at least 1/500 of the hydrogen partial pressure but preferably not above 1% by weight of the unsaturated hydrocarbons; preferred amounts are 0,005-0,01% by weight of the hydrocarbon feed.

Abstract: 124,344. Brockway, F. G., and Bedford, W. E. June 24, 1918. Shuttleless looms. -In a needle loom especially suitable. for weaving narrow fabrics, the weftcarrier after passing through the shed is guided by a camsurface so that its free end is passed around a spool of yarn normally held stationary in a holder by a catch, which is raised by the carrier, the yarn from the spool being engaged by the weft and drawn to the cloth edge or into the cloth on the return stroke of the carrier. The carrier comprises a shank 4 pivoted at 3 to an horizontally reciprocating bracket 2 and having at its free end a tube 7 with a hole at its root, the weft from a bobbin 9 passing through the hole and the tube to its end 19. An enlargement 5, which may be fitted with an antifriction arrangement, is guided by a fixed guide 8. After the carrier has passed through the shed, a peg or roller 6 thereon enters a cam-groove 11 in a fixed plate 10, and is guided by a pivoted switch or tumbler 13 into the upper part of the groove, so that the tube 7 meets and raises a swinging catch 12, which normally holds stationary a notched holder 15 containing a spool of yarn 17 and resting in a trough or cradle 14. The yarn from the spool passes through a hole 18 in the holder to a tension wire 20, and thence to the outer warp of the cloth 21, where it is secured. Other tension wires or guides may be provided. The tube 7 passes around the holder 15, raising it on the return stroke, and the tumbler 13 allows the peg or roller 6 to pass out of the cam-groove. The weft engages the spool yarn and draws it to or into the cloth, according to the yarn tension. The enlargement 5 rides up on to the guide 8 as the carrier returns.

Rotary sieves.-A rotary separator of the type in which the rotary screening member is divided into separate longitudinal compartments, has each longitudinal compartment built up of a series of independent removable screen carrying sections. As shown in Figs. 1, 2, and 3, there are six separate longitudinal compartments a, b, c, d, e, f, each of which is built up of triangular sections 1, placed end to end. One of these sections is shown detached in Fig. 3. Each section 1 is provided with end flanges 1<1> which are fastened by bclts 1<a> to carrier discs 2 with hubs 2' fixed to a shaft 3 and provided with openings corresponding to each triangular compartment to allow the material to pass from one section to the next. One side 1<2> of each section is solid whilst the other two sides are provided with screens 5. the sections being disposed around the shaft so that each solid side faces a screen on the adjacent section, with a gap 6 between them. Sleeves 7 secured to the hubs 2<1> of the discs 2, form supports for the inner ends of the sections and close the inner ends of the gaps 6. Arched members 8 of channel section, inclined to the axis of rotation, are attacked to the solid side 1<2> of each section 1 and serve to fed the material along the compartments. The material is fed to the separator by means of a fixed shoot 9 and a conical retainer 10 attached to the end disc 2. As the apparatus rotates, the material is thrown from one screen 5 on to the other and then on to the solid side, when it is broken up and fed forward by means of the members 8. The fine material passes through the screens into fixed shoots 11. The screens in each set of sections comprised between two carrier discs, one of equal mesh, and the next set are of larger mesh and so on. On reaching the last set, the tailings fall into a suitable shoot 12 which may deliver it into a second separator similar to the first, as shown in Fig. 1.

Filed: 1926-04-20
Abstract: 251,275. Paul, M. April 22, 1925, [Convention date]. Cut-out arrangements.-An automatic circuitbreaker is actuated, when a predetermined temperature or current is exceeded, by the variation of current in a winding produced by the change of resistance with temperature of a substance in series with the winding. The substance may have a positive or negative temperature coefficient, silver sulphide, the resistance of which diminishes suddenly at 175‹ C. and silver selenide, the resistance of which increases suddenly at 135‹ C., being specially suitable. Fig. 1 shows an arrangement in which the winding of a circuit-breaker c is in series with a substance b which is substantially non-conducting at low temperature. The circuit-breaker is actuated when the substance b is sufficiently heated by the winding a. In a modification, Fig. 2, the tripping arm f of the circuit-breaker is actuated by the core e when the balance between the two windings d', d<2> is disturbed through the increase in resistance of the substance b when it is heated by the winding a. In modifications the heating winding a is omitted, the substances being heated by the current flowing through them. Fig. 4<b> shows a modification in which a circuit to the switch winding k is completed when layers h of silver sulphide situated between metal discs i', i' and a resistance g are sufficiently heated to allow current to pass.

Title: Improvements in devices for securing tool bar to tractors
IPC: A01B35/10
Filed: 1943-06-28
Abstract: 565,167. Attaching agricultural tools to tractors. DUBBELDAM, P. June 28, 1943, No. 10439. [Classes 6 (i) and 6 (iii)] A device for attaching agricultural tools p to a tractor comprises a frame a, d which is fitted to the tractor and which carries links j, k connected to the tool bar carrying frame m, the tools being raised when desired by springs 8, 9 which act through a system of toggle links under the control of a hand lever z. In the form shown, the frame members a are connected to the axle housing c of the tractor, while the members d are coupled to draw bars e. - The members a on either side of the tractor are interconnected by a transverse member w and the lower ends of the members d are similarly interconnected to form a rigid frame: Each member d has upper, and lower brackets for pairs of links j, k, the other ends of which are connected to side members of the frame m. These members carry clamps n for the tool bar o and to the latter is secured guides q for a vertically adjustable supporting wheel r<1>. A rod u extends between brackets on the member wand carries an arm x which is connected by a link y to lever z. At either end of rod u is an arm 4 carrying a link 5, the lower end of the link being connected to an arm 6 pivoted to member d. Link 5 and arm 6 between them embrace a link k and thus when they are raised a distance piece on their connecting pivot contacts the lower edge of the link k and thus raises the tool frame. When it is desired to lift the tools to the inoperative position shown, the lever z is suitably operated to move the rod u and the resulting movement of the arms 4, 6 enables their respective springs 8, 9 to complete their upward movement, carrying the tool frame with them. In the operative position the distance piece between the link 5 and arm 6 is clear of the link k and the tools, which may be for cultivating, ridging, hoeing or potato lifting, are thereby able to follow the movements of''the wheel r<1>. If desired, more than one tool' bar may be fitted between the members m. The Provisional Specification also describes a construction in which the levers of the lifting mechanism are connected by chains to the lower links connected to the tool frame.
