Title: Cosmetic agents for the treatment of the skin, deodorising agents and insect-repelling agents
IPC: A61K8/41
Filed: 1953-01-14
Abstract: A cosmetic deodorizing and insect repelling agent includes at least one organic electro-neutral salt obtained by the reaction of equimolecular amounts of anionic surface-active and cationic surface-active compounds, the cationic compounds containing only one nitrogen atom-a quaternary nitrogen atom-per molecule, both said anionic and said cationic surface-active compounds containing at least six carbon atoms per molecule.  Cosmetic agent means a lotion, ointment or powder manufactured specifically for application to the skin with the object of improving its appearance, e.g. face and shaving lotions, skin oils, powders and creams.  The cationic compounds are ammonium compounds and must contain at least one aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aliphatic aromatic radical having at least 6 to 20 carbon atoms.  They may also contain hetero atoms or groups other than nitrogen. Specified cationic compounds include, inter alia, trimethyl hexyl ammonium bisulphate, dimethyl dodecyl benzyl ammonium chloride, hexylquinolinium chloride, octadecoxycarbomethyl trimethyl ammonium chloride, octadecylthiomethyl triethyl ammonium bisulphate, abietyloxycarbomethyl quinolinium bromide. Specified anionic surface-active compounds include compounds of the aliphatic cycloaliphatic or aliphatic aromatic series containing at least one acid forming group capable of being neutralized by inorganic bases to form water-soluble salts. Specified compounds include, inter alia, alkyl sulphates and sulphonates, salts of dialkyl or dialkylaryl disulphonimides or sulphocarbonimides, fatty acid salts, salts of the condensation products of higher molecular weight carboxylic acid or sulphonic acid halides with proteins and similar compounds and may contain hetero atoms or atom groups.  The electro-neutral salts may be worked in during manufacture or after manufacture of the said agents or incorporated by reaction of the starting components in the said agents.  In an example, a skin cream consists, in parts by weight, of an alcohol mixture of cetyl and myristyl alcohols, 135; glycerol, 6; sodium lauryl sulphate (in aqueous solution), 2.5; salt from dimethyl hexa hydrophenyl dodecyl ammonium chloride and hexadecyl sodium sulphate, 10; perfume.

Abstract: 1,028,523. Moulding grinding wheels. SAUNDERS ROE & NUCLEAR ENTERPRISES Ltd. Nov. 26, 1964 [Jan. 10, 1964], No. 1126/64. Heading B5A. [Also in Division G1] The density of articles being produced in a moulding press is measured without removing them from the press. The press, which may produce grinding wheels from silicon carbide alumina, comprises a well 2, with a central post 7 which is filled by the material 1 to be compressed. Surplus material is removed by a scraper, Fig. 2 (not shown), and the remainder compressed by the press head 5. The press is provided with collimating tubes 11 passing beta or gamma radiation from a shielded source 8 to a scintillation crystal 14 coupled to a photomultiplier 15 through the compressed material. The density of the material affects the intensity of radiation reaching the scintillator and is measured by counting the output pulses of the photo-multiplier during a one second interval immediately following the compression. The count is printed out and may be used to vary moulding parameters such as the well depth, the moulding pressure or the composition of the materials compressed. The radiation source and detector may be located vertically above and below the press. An electronic computer may be provided to indicate the density directly from the measured count. A body of known density such as an acceptable grinding wheel may be put into the press for calibration.

Title: Refractory bodies and method of making the same
IPC: C04B35/573
Filed: 1956-01-17
Abstract: Refractory articles, e.g. brazing fixtures or parts used in handling molten metals, are formed by mixing silicon carbide with silicon or a silicon alloy and water, ageing the mixture, if a dense article is required, by allowing it to stand for several days, vibrating the mixture and then transferring it to a wet mould which is vibrated, drying the mixture in the mould, and then firing the cast shape either in or out of the mould in a non-oxidizing atmosphere containing nitrogenous or carbonaceous constituents depending on whether it is desired to form a silicon nitride or carbide bond. During filling of the mould, the container for the mixture, a filling shoot, and the mould may be placed on a vibrating table or a vibrating feeder may be used. The mould may be made of plaster, graphite, sand and walnut shells.  The mixture may contain silicon carbide, ferromanganese silicon, silicon, bentonite, lithium citrate (a deflocculating agent), and dextrine (a temporary binder and deflocculating agent).ALSO:Refractory articles, e.g., brazing fixtures or parts used in handling molten metals, are formed by mixing silicon carbide with silicon or a silicon alloy and water, ageing the mixture, if a dense article is required, by allowing it to stand for several days, vibrating the mixture and then transferring it to a wet mould which is vibrated, drying the mixture in the mould, and then firing the cast shape either in or out of the mould in a non-oxidizing atmosphere containing nitrogeneous or carbonaceous constituents depending on whether it is desired to form a silicon nitride or carbide bond.

Title: An improved device for controlling a gramophone pick-up arm
IPC: G11B3/08
Filed: 1946-03-12
Abstract: 621,124. Gramophones. SIMON, R. W. March 12, 1946, Nos. 1595/46. 7701/46 and 3519/47. [Class 40 (ii)] In a gramophone the pick-up is lowered into the operative position by means of an arm or plate situated below the pick-up arm and movable vertically about a horizontal spindle. The pick-up arm rests upon this arm or plate which is lowered by manual means, free of the pick-up arm leaving the needle in contact with the record, until it is again raised at the conclusion of a period of operation in a similar manner. As shown, the rod 1 which supports the pick-up arm 3 is carried in a sleeve 4 mounted on an arm 5 movable about the spindle 6 mounted in the supporting framework 7. The operating lever 8 is mounted upon an eccentric sheave 12 on the spindle 6 which is disposed within the sleeve 24 on which the arm 5 is fixed, and comprises a disc 10 having a recess 11 engaging a pin 23 on the arm 5. A washer 27 is adjustably pressed against the portion 26 of the lever 8 by means of a manuallyoperated disc 28 threaded on the spindle 6, to brake the lever 8 according to the weight of the pick-up arm employed. When lowered, the arm 5 comes to rest upon an adjustable stop 13, the position of which may be varied manually according to the thickness of the record to be played. To lower the pick-up from this position on to the record, the lever 8 is moved downwards, rotating the sheave 12 and raising the sleeve 24 with respect to the spindle 6, so that the rod 1 is lowered and the needle comes into contact with the record. At end of playing, upward movement of the lever 8 first restores the arm 5 to its position of rest on the stop 13 and then the pin 23 engages the recess 11 and raises the arm 5 and with it the pick-up arm until the latter occupies an inoperative position. Fig. 3 (not shown) shows an extra manually-adjusted device for producing small axial movements of the rod 1 and thus altering the position of the pick-up arm relative to the desired portion of the record.

Filed: 1948-01-19
Abstract: Dyes are made by condensing a 2-amino-3-alkyl-3-butanol with (1) an anthraquinone-1,4-dihalogen- or dihydroxy-2-carboxylic acid amide, or (2)a 1-acylamino-4-halogen-anthraquinone-2-carboxylic halide, followed by hydrolysis of the acylamino group, and, if desired, by replacement of the 4-halogen atom by alkoxy, or by reaction with a 2-amino-3-alkyl-3-butanol or an alkylamine, arylamine, or hydroxyalkylamine.  The leuco compounds may be used instead of the anthraquinone bodies themselves.  The products dye superpolyamides and cellulose esters and ethers.  In examples: (1) 1 - (p - toluenesulphonylamino) - 4 - bromo-anthraquinone - 2 - carboxylic acid chloride is condensed with 2-amino-3-methyl-3-butanol, and the p-toluenesulphonylamino group in the product is hydrolysed; the product obtained is treated to replace the 4-halogen atom with (2) sodium methoxide, giving an alkoxy body, or (3) with more of the above butanol or with ethanolamine.  Also in examples, (4) 3-isobutyl - 2 - amino - 3 - butanol is condensed with 1,4 - dibromo - anthraquinone - 2 - carbon, amide, and (5) 2-amino-3-methyl-3-butanol is condensed with leuco-quinizarin-2-carbonamide.
