Patent GB-1033421-A (GB)
Title: Soap bars
IPC: C11D13/02
Filed: 1964-02-27
Abstract: Soap bars are prepared by saponifying a soap stock containing 7-30 weight per cent of trans-acid radicals based on the total fat charge, working the resulting soap mass, and plodding the worked mass at an extrusion temperature not higher than 110 DEG  F. The trans-acid radical containing stock is obtained by isomerizing a fat rich in unsaturated acid radicals (e.g. refined white grease or a mixture thereof with tallow) with a nickel-sulphur catalyst in the presence of hydrogen; and is usually mixed other fats, e.g. tallow or palm kernel oil, to form the soap stock.  The soap bars may also contain minor quantities of sodium chloride, sodium sulphate, sodium silicate, sodium tripolyphosphate, titanium dioxide, lanolin, sorbitol, and other conventional additives.ALSO:A nickel-sulphur catalyst is prepared by mixing spent nickel catalyst, sulphurized soybean oil, and soybean oil, hydrogenating at 180-190 C, cooling and recovering the catalyst on filter presses.

Abstract: 945,203. Electric water heaters. W. BRANDL. March 2, 1962 [March 3, 1961], No. 8245/62. Heading H5H. [Also in Divisions F2, G1 and H2] A water heater, e.g. for domestic use or for tea or coffee infusing, includes a container for the water to be heated, provided with a filling and discharge valve, and a heating unit consisting of an evacuated chamber partly filled with a liquid in which a heating coil is immersed, the interior of the chamber being connected to a resilient bellows which expands in accordance with the pressure in the chamber and operates a switch controlling the electric supply; the apparatus may be set to switch a few degrees below boiling-point ; independent of altitude. The heating coil 17, Fig. 1, is immersed in liquid 16 in the sealed evacuated chamber 7, which, by thermal transfer through its wall, heats water contained in glass container 2, which is provided with filler, exit, and overflow pipes 11, 12 and 14. Chamber 7 is in communication, via pipe 18, with bellows 19, Fig. 3, whereby when the steam pressure in chamber 7 corresponds to a desired temperature, determined by the setting of a knob 32, the thrust of the bellows upon the microswitch 25 operates the latter, which is pivoted at 26, to interrupt the heater supply. The knob 32 is normally set a few degrees below boiling-point, and must be manually rotated and held against spring pressure to boil the water, Figs. 4 to 6 (not shown). A valve is provided, Figs. 7 to 14 (not shown), to permit the replenishing of the container with cold water, and the supply of hot, cold, or mixed water to the delivery outlet 13 (see Division F2).

Abstract: 1457856 Adjusting vehicle headlamps SOC ANON POUR L'EQUIPEMENT ELECTRIQUE DES VEHICULES SEV MARCHAL 27 Feb 1975 [27 Feb 1974] 8279/75 Addition to 1359806 Heading F4R In a modification of the mechanism of the parent Specification for tilting vehicle headlamps about a horizontal axis in response to changes in attitude of the vehicle caused by loading or acceleration, such changes at the rear of the vehicle are transmitted by cable 210a to cause rotation of lever 210 about its central pivot 250. The other end of lever 210 is formed with a cam surface 252 biased by cable 210a against the action of spring 244 into engagement with a laterally extending portion 209c of arm 209b of lever 209. Spring 211 biases portion 209c into engagement with cam surface 252. The linkage between lever 209 and the headlamps includes a flexure rod (216) (Fig. 1, not shown) which aborbs fluctuations of short duration, e.g. due to pot-holes in the road surface. The inclusion of the cam surface where levers 210, 209 abut is stated to give a more linear response between the changes in attitude and headlamp tilting. Lever 209 is mounted on torsion bar 205 by collar 206, and relative movement between the front wheel and bodywork causes collar 206 to rotate, with consequent displacement of pivot 208, rotation of lever 209 and actuation of the tilting means.

Abstract: 741,954. Over and under guns. CHURCHILL (GUN-MAKERS), Ltd., E. J. March 25, 1954 [March 25, 1953], No. 8313/53. Class 119 An over and under gun is provided with mechanism for effecting semi-automatic or selfopening of the gun at the breech, comprising rods H, Fig. 1 slidable in the action body A and movable under the action of the cocking springs N, after initial manual breaking the gun, to impart rotational movement to the gun barrels. Mounted on each barrel is an ejector plate F formed with an extension arm F, positioned in a recess in the action body over the barrel trunnion G. The arm F 1  bears against one endof the rod H, the other end of which bears against a projection D 1  on one side of a cam D mounted on the action body, a projection D 2 . on the other side bearing against the end J 1  of the main spring box J mounted on the lock plate B, thus holding the box J in its highest position and compressing the cocking spring N. In this position the main spring K in the box J is under compression between the lower wall of the box J and the upper surface of a recess in the tumbler L. An ejector cam E is adapted to cooperate with the, cam D. Pivoted on the ejector plate F is a, spring box T adapted to be engaged by an ejector rod P which is normally held out of engagement by a spring Q. Pivotally mounted on the knuckle of the fore-end C is a kicker R. On firing, the nose L, of the tumbler L strikes and rotates the ejector cam E so that its tail E 2  contacts the rear end P, of the ejector rod P, forcing it through the action body into a position for engagement with the spring box T. Movement of the cam E releases the cam D so that, on opening the breech by depressing a lever as described in Specification 731,093, the cocking spring N rotates the box J which moves the cam D to push the rod H through the action body against the arm F 1  of the ejector plate F to rotate the barrel about the trunnion G as shown in Fig. 5. On opening the breech the claw end of the ejector spring box T is held by the claw end of the rod P and the ejector spring box T is rotated causing the spring S to be compressed between the bottom of the box T and the kicker R. At the same time a hump T 1  on the box T rotates the kicker R until the spring S passes under a sharp corner on the kicker R, whereupon the spring S, now no longer restrained by the kicker R, is released to rotate the kicker R violently and react on the extractor (not shown) to eject the cartridge. Specification 741,947 also is referred to.
