IPC: F16P3/06
Filed: 1925-12-24
Abstract: 261,562. Jones, W. Dec. 24, 1925. Guards, controlling.-A swinging guard for a power press, whose, plunger c is connected by a rod c<2> to a cranked or eccentric part a<2> of a shaft a driven through a one-revolution clutch, is released for independent operation immediately the crank a<2> commences to move angularly from. the top of the throw by the withdrawal of a catch operated by the crank. The catch comprises a member e movable horizontally in a guide d<2> provided in a bracket d adjustably secured to the upper end of the plunger c. The lower end. of a lever f, pivoted to lugs d<3> on the bracket d, engages the member e, while its upper end bears, through an adjustable pin f<4>, against the face c<3> of the connecting-rod end, being maintained in contact therewith by a spring g acting on the member e. The guard comprises an arm i pivoted on a bar h adjustably secured to the front of tha press frame., the lower end of the arm being provided with a cushioning device i<4> and the upper end being provided with a cam-shaped portion i<3>. Normally, the portion i<3> is engaged by the end of the member e, so that the guard is held to one side of the press. Immediately the rod c<2> commences to swing, when the press is started, the member e is withdrawn from the portion i<3> and the guard is swung down by a spring j. During the ascent of the plunger, the portion i<3> is again engaged by the member e and the guard is returned to its normal position.

[Also in Division C6] A process for treating a fermentation liquor obtained by culturing a hydrocarbon-assimilable micro-organism in a fermentation liquor containing a hydrocarbon as the main carbon source, to separate after fermentation hydrocarbon and micro-organism cells from the liquor comprises generating microfine air bubbles in the lower portion of the liquor, thereby causing the hydrocarbon and micro-organism cells to rise to the upper portion of the liquor as a separate phase. Additional hydrocarbon of the same type as that used in the fermentation may be added to the fermentation liquor before the separation. The process may be continuous. According to an example, 100 litres of a fermentation liquor containing 1,600 g. of L- glutamic acid and 4À3% of remaining n-paraffin obtained in cultivating Arthrobacter paraffineus ATCC 21167 is treated with a stream (20 litres) of water containing dissolved air under a pressure of 2 kg./cm.<SP>2</SP>, directed into the lower portion of the tank. After withdrawing the water phase, the upper phase is made up with a further 100 litres of water and again treated with the aerated water. L-glutamic acid is recovered from the combined water phases, and cells and residual n-paraffin from the upper phase.

Prior to metal plating, the surface of a styrene polymer is contacted with a fluid comprising a solvent for said polymer, and, as diluent, a non- solvent therefor, until the said surface has absorbed 0À1 to 3 gms solvent/sq.ft. The styrene polymer may be polystyrene, SAN or ABS, possibly containing rubber, and the solvent is applied (1) in solution (2) as a dispersion, or (3) in the gas phase. The said solvent may be a C 6 -C 24  aromatic hydrocarbon, possibly substituted, a C 5 -C 15  alkane, a C 4 -C 18  alkene, a C 5 -C 24  alicyclic hydrocarbon or terpene, or a halogenated C 1 -C 12  hydrocarbon, or a commercial solvent mixture. The said non-solvent may be a C 1 -C 4  alkanol or a C 3 -C 5  ketone, DMF, dimethyl- or diethylsulphoxide, and water may be added to give a fluid ternary system. Where a dispersion is used, this may be solvent/water or solvent/water/non- solvent (in insufficient amount to give a homogeneous solution), in each case there being added, if desired, a surfactant such as an ethoxylated phenol, polyoxy propylene, fatty acid, alcohol, amine, diamine, or amide, or a derivative thereof, an alkali metal soap, or a sulphonate. NaOH or KOH may be added to the dispersion to give PH >11. Vapour contact uses the above-mentioned solution (solvent + non-solvent) at 70‹-200‹F. The solvent generally constitutes 0À25-25 vol.% of the treating fluid and contact with the polymer is for “-30 minutes.
