Title: Improvements in dough-kneading apparatus for elongating balls of dough
IPC: A21C7/04
Filed: 1959-08-05
Abstract: 924,212. Rolling dough. K. SCHMIDT. Aug. 5, 1959 [March 13, 1959; March 28, 1959; June 20, 1959], No. 26671/59. Class 87(2). Ball-shaped lumps of dough which have been produced in a known kneading machine are elongated in apparatus which comprises (i) a kneading frame 5 wherein elongated oval kneading cells are arranged according to the pattern of the cutter in the kneading machine (ii) a forming plate 27 which is vertically guided by pillars 30 projecting from the kneading frame and is pressed downwards by springs 31 and (iii) a kneading plate 1 on which the dough balls 10 are placed, Fig. 9, the plate 1 being located on a kneading base plate 34 which is reciprocable in the direction of the smallest transverse axis of the cells in the kneading frame. The kneading frame 5 is attached to rods 32 which are guided in a cover plate 45 and in an intermediate plate 44 and are connected at their lower ends by a transverse member 43. A shaft 48 is journalled in the frame 46 and carries a lever 51, Fig. 12, in which is a slot 55 which, through a pin, maintains pivotal connection with a bracket 49 on the member 43: there, rotation of the shaft 48 raises or lowers the member 43 and therefore the kneading frame 5. Reciprocation of the base plate 34 is accomplished through a crank drive, 40 being the crank shaft, which is driven by a belt pulley 42. The connection between the crankshaft 40 and the connecting rod 58, pivoted at its other end, to the plate 34, at 33, is variable, i.e. the crank pin 36 is slidable along a member 39 from a position where it coincides with the axis of the crankshaft 40, and thus has no eccentricity, to a position of maximum radius and therefore maximum crank throw. The variation is derived from the shaft 48 through a lever pair 50, also mounted thereon, which engages the lower end of a rod 41 which moves upwards through the hollow crank shaft. On the upper end of the rod 41 is a bell crank 38 arranged so that, when the rod 41 is lowered, the crank radius is increased. In operation a hand lever 59 is depressed, resulting in the forming plate 27 being first lowered to press down lightly on the dough balls. On further downward movement of the lever 59 the rod 41 is drawn downwards against a spring and the crank radius is thereby increased, causing the plate 34, with the kneading plate 1, to be reciprocated with the result that an elongated kneading action is performed on the dough. As the lever 59 is lowered further the pressure increases till the springs 31 yield. The extent to which the kneading requires to be continued can be observed through the forming plate 27, which is of transparent material, and the lever 57 is raised when it is seen to be complete. To adjust the time of commencement of the kneading movement in relation to the lowering of the frame 5, the lever 51 is moved on its boss 52, Fig. 12, as allowed by a slot connection 54. Modifications are described in which the pressure and reciprocation are performed manually.

Title: Method and apparatus for the manufacture of glass and/or ceramic mosaics
Filed: 1960-08-05
Abstract: 902,648. Patterned mosaic coating. VIDA, A. Aug. 5, 1960, No. 27178/60. Class 140. [Also in Group XV] A mosaic structure is made from a plurality of irregularly shaped flat chips, e.g. of glass, of substantially the same thickness, by simultaneously moving the chips in a stream in a general direction and in a single layer while permitting the chips to move laterally when striking each other, thus moving into juxtaposed relation and to close any spacious voids between chips, thus covering a predetermined area with a mosaic of chips, and applying an adhesivelycoated sheet of paper or fabric to the assembled chips to cause them to adhere thereto. As shown (Fig. 1), a chip-assembling unit comprises two rectangular flat plates 27 and 28, e.g. of plate glass, plate 27 being longer than 28 and spaced apart by strips 29. The spacer strips are slightly thicker than the chips 26. The plates and spacers are held together by clamps 30. An open-ended trough 31 is fastened over the open end, the bottom edge resting on top of plate 28. Chips 26 are put into the trough and stirred with a long tined fork so that they fall through the slot formed by the bottom of the trough and the gap between plates 27 and 28 and form a mosaic. When the gap between the plates is filled to the desired level, the trough 31 is removed and the assembly laid horizontally with plate 27 at the bottom. The clamps and plate 28 are removed and a sheet of paper or fabric coated with adhesive pressed on to the chips. The adhesive is preferably watersoluble, but pressure sensitive or thermoplastic adhesives may also be used. After trimming the sheet, plate 28 is replaced, the assembly clamped together and inverted; the top plate (27) and spacer strips are removed leaving the mosaic firmly held by the backing sheet. It may be used to decorate a wall or other surface by applying a bonding coat to the surface, placing the mosaic assembly paper side outwards upon it and after embedding the chips in the bonding coat removing the paper by means of water. Fig. 8 shows an apparatus for continuous production of the mosaic. A reel of paper 32 is fed between rollers 44 and 45, roller 44 dipping into a trough 42 of adhesive, and thence on to an endless band 47. Plates 50 and 52 are permanently fixed with a space top and bottom to allow the chips to slide between them. The hopper 53 is provided with a single roller 54 which agitates the chips so that they only pass between the plates when their faces are parallel to the inner faces of the plates. At the bottom of plates 50 and 52 the chips come into contact with the adhesive coated paper and pass between rollers 48 and 49. Further rollers 57 and 58 serve to apply additional pressure and to form a flatter surface. Near the end of the conveyer the paper-mounted chips may be cut into sheets.

Filed: 1960-01-05
Abstract: <PICT:0921655/III/1> Uranium dioxide is formed by treating higher uranium oxides, UO3 and U3O8, in granular form with a counter-current stream of hydrogen.  To avoid the presence of fluoride in the product oxides, the hydrogen is preferably mixed with water vapour to form hydrogen fluoride which is carried away with effluent gases.  Such effluent gases are preferably contacted with water vapour which dissolves out the hydrogen fluoride; the residual hydrogen and entrained water vapour may be recycled.  The preferred apparatus, which is the subject of Specification 921,654 is shown in Fig. 1.  A static gas-tight enclosure 13 is surrounded in its middle part with a furnace generally indicated by 203 and is provided with solids feed inlet means 163 and a solids outlet at 35, both being provided with gas-tight seals.  Hydrogen and water vapour pass through a heated pipe 123 through an inlet 31 into the enclosure and the gases are removed through pipe 101 by means of a water aspirator 103 and recycled through a vessel 107 and line 123 The enclosure 13 houses a rotatable container 10 driven through a stub axle 75; uranium higher halides are fed to this container through the worm-feed 161 and the product uranium dioxide is removed through openings 195 in the other end of the container from which they pass through the opening 35 in the surrounding enclosure for recovery.  Gases entering the enclosure through line 31 pass through such openings 195 into the centre of the container and, passing counter-current to the uranium oxide, leave the container through perforations 197 for evacuation through pipe 101 from the surrounding enclosure.  The effluent gases in line 101 are scrubbed with sprays 139 and 143 of recycled acidic wash water from a container 107 which removes excess water, containing hydrogen fluoride, from the moist hydrogen which is recycled.
