Title: An improved method and means for removing surplus liquid paint from the interior of petrol cans and the like in the process of the drying operation
IPC: F26B7/00
Filed: 1943-01-13
Abstract: 562,625. Drying painted cans. JAMES, H. H., and JAMES, W. Jan. 13, 1943, No. 609. [Class 34 (ii)] [Also in Group XXX] Surplus liquid paint is removed from the interior of cans by placing the inverted cans on a slow-moving conveyer so that the paint may drain out through the can spouts-on to an inclined trough extending alongside the conveyer. The cans a are transferred from the delivery end of this conveyer on to the top conveyer d<1> of a series of three superposed conveyers d<1>, d<2>, d<3>, being laid thereon on a narrow side with the spouts a<1> downward to drain on to a trough f. On reaching the end of conveyer d<1> the cans are guided by a baffle plate e to fall in similar configuration on to the next conveyer d<2>. On arrival at the delivery end of this latter, the cans are transferred by hand on to a slope d<4> from the bottom of which they are placed inverted on the conveyer d<3> which is off-set from the upper conveyers. A sump d<5> receives the drainings from slope d<4>. The cans are taken from the delivery end of conveyer d<3> and fastened on to a motor-rotated frame g with their spouts a' pointing radially outward. The frame g is contained in a drying chamber h fed with hot 'air through a duct k fitted with a fan j and gas heater l. The frame is given a few turns in one direction so as to fling out any remaining surplus paint centrifugally, and then rotated in the opposite sense to cause the air to enter and circulate within the cans.

Title: Improvements in or relating to liquid distributors
IPC: C02F3/04

Abstract: 820,653. Rotary distributers. ADAMSHYDRAULICS Ltd., and HOUSTON, J. F. Sept. 11, 1957 [Jan. 7, 1957], No. 648/57. Class 69 (3). A liquid distributer comprising one or more distributer arms rotatable about a vertical axis by the action of the liquid being distributed has at the outer end of the or each arm a wheel running on a track or surface and driving a braking device whose braking effect increases with increase in speed of rotation of the wheel. As shown, a rotary arm 11 of a sewage distributer is connected to a combined track and water wheel which is driven by liquid flowing from an orifice 22 in the arm 11 into vessels 21 within the wheel. The arm 11 is connected by a universal joint 14 to a bar 13 carrying a gear-box 15 having a low speed spindle 16 geared to the wheel 17 and a high speed spindle 20 carrying an air brake 19 provided with blades 19a at opposite ends. The braking device may alternatively be of the kind in which friction is caused by movement due to centrifugal force or it may comprise an electric generator. When the driving vessels are not attached to the track wheel they may be coupled thereto by gearing, a chain and sprocket, belt drive or a combination thereof. A zig-zag strip is mounted edgewise on the wheel to enable it to grip the track.

Title: Manufacture of artificial resins
IPC: C08F240/00
Filed: 1921-01-06
Abstract: Synthetic resins, homologous with coumarone and indene resins, are obtained by polymerizing with concentrated sulphuric acid the tar oil fractions from carbolic or creosote oils which boil between 190 DEG C. and 240 DEG  C., and are free from coumarone and indene.  The starting material is first freed from naphthalene by freezing and then from acid tar oils by extraction with alkali. The products of polymerization are isolated by distillation of the non-polymerized oils; they are useful for the manufacture of varnishes.

Abstract: 544,171. Knitting. SCOTT & WILLIAMS, Inc. Jan. 17, 1941, No. 694. Convention date, Feb. 15, 1940. [Class 74 (ii)] Relates to the knitting of a ribbed seamless stocking in which the ribs extend through heel, toe and foot bottom, and the heel and toe are made by reciprocation. The invention is described as performed on a machine with two superposed rotary needle cylinders.

Title: Process for the manufacture of sorbic acid
IPC: C07C51/00
Filed: 1960-01-08
Abstract: Sorbic acid of a high degree of purity is obtained by reacting ketene with crotonaldehyde at 25 DEG  to 80 DEG C. in the presence of a reaction solution comprising an inert diluent, a preformed polyester reaction product of ketene and crotonaldehyde and a C4-C18 fatty acid salt of a bivalent transition metal selected from Group II to VIII of the Periodic System, the reaction being carried out in the absence of any substantial amount of acetic anhydride, (preferably below 1% by weight of acetic anhydride based on the reaction solution), withdrawing at least a portion of the reaction product, distilling to recover the polyester formed, heating the polyester and then converting it in known manner into sorbic acid.  An excess of crotonaldehyde may be used and preferably the reaction solution comprising the reaction product of crotonaldehyde and ketene, the inert diluent, crotonaldehyde and the bivalent transition metal salt is circulated, a portion of the reaction solution is withdrawn from the cycle and at the same time there is added to the circulating reaction solution the inert diluent and crotonaldehyde in a volume equal to that of the withdrawn solution, the polyester formed is separated from the withdrawn portion of the reaction solution by distillation and the distillate composed of the inert diluent and crotonaldehyde is recycled into the reaction solution.  The crotonaldehyde used should be substantially anhydrous and the reaction is preferably effected at between 40 DEG  and 60 DEG C. Specified inert diluents are benzene, toluene, xylene, methylene chloride and nitrobenzene and specified metal salt catalysts are salts of iron, nickel, mercury, cobalt, cadmium and zinc with butyric, isobutyric, valeric, isovaleric, a -methylbutyric, diethylacetic, caproic, caprylic, capric, lauric, 2-ethylcaproic, stearic, palmitic and oleic acid, e.g. zinc isobutyrate.  The reaction solution is preferably conducted through a column filled with filling material, e.g. Raschig rings, through which the ketene is flowing in countercurrent, and is discharged at the lower end of the column and then conducted through a heat exchanger so as to control the exothermic reaction of the absorbed ketene with the crotonaldehyde. The reaction products may be isolated and the inert solvent and any excess crotonaldehyde recovered by passing part of the reaction solution preferably under reduced pressure through a continuously operating distillation column and after evaporation of the mixture of crotonaldehyde and solvent the polyester is passed continuously through a tube heated to 80-150 DEG C. for from 30 minutes to 4 hours and such heating may also be carried out before or during the distillation step, if desired under superatmospheric pressure.  The thermally treated polyester is then after treated by thermal splitting or alkaline hydrolysis and subsequent splitting off of water in an acid medium to yield sorbic acid which may be further purified, e.g. by distillation and/or crystallisation. Specifications 788,098, 854,383 and 883,492 are referred to.

Abstract: 1,221,951. Papermaking; electrostatic deposition. RANSBURG ELECTRIC-COATING CORP. 5 Jan., 1968 [5 Jan., 1967], No. 888/11968. Headings D1L, D2A and D2B. Fibrous cellulosic sheet material, e.g. newsprint or paperboard, as a wet web is sized by electrostatically charging dry particles of starch to deposit the particles on the web, and then dewatering the web. Preferably the starch is ungelatinizd when applied and the wet web is heated to gelatinize it at least partially. The starch may be modified to reduce its gelatinization temperature, e.g. by surface hydroxyethylation. Other particles may be applied simultaneously, e.g. of pigments, fillers, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl acetate or butadiene-styrene copolymers. As shown, the starch particles are blown through conduits 22 to distributing heads 25 above a web P of paper on wire of a paper machine and electrostatically charged to form a cloud in the chamber 26. Alternatively the starch may be deposited in place of one of the sets of press rolls, between the last set of press rolls and the drier, or applied to the wire side at 32 or 'to both sides. As further alternatives (Fig. 2, not shown) it may be applied to a vertically moving web, e.g. between pairs of press rolls, from a vibrated inclined platform or from a fluidized bed. Very small amounts of starch can be applied uniformly by this technique, which can be applied also to cylinder and other machines.
