Title: Improvements in or relating to the deposition of powder coatings on strip material
Inventor: JACKSON ALBERT EDWARD
IPC: B29C31/02
Filed: 1963-06-07
Abstract: <PICT:1035256/C6-C7/1> <PICT:1035256/C6-C7/2> Apparatus for depositing a coating of a powder on a moving metal strip comprises a rotatable metering roll having a length at least equal to the width of the strip to be coated and provided on its curved surface with depressions uniformly distributed, a container for powder having a powder outlet arranged to supply powder to said depressions, means for removing the powder from the curved surface of the roll surrounding the depressions, and means for removing the powder from the depressions in the roll and depositing it on the surface of the metal strip.  In the arrangement shown metal strip 10 is passed round a deflector roller 11 and thence under a powder depositing station 12.  The strip coated on one side is then passed round a further deflecting roller 13 and beneath a second powder depositing station 14.  Each powder depositing assembly comprises a powder hopper 15, a metering roll 16 and a cylindrical brush 17.  Powder 18 is introduced into hopper 15 and the metering roller 16 is rotated at a speed dependant on the quantity of powder to be deposited on the strip 10. The roll 16 preferably consists of a smooth surfaced roll the curved surface of which is covered with a closely conforming sheet of uniformly perforated metal, such as perforated zinc. The lower edge of the downstream side of the hopper 15 may serve as a wiper or a separate wiper 21 may be attached thereto and brush 17 which rotates in the opposite sense to roll 16 removes the powder from the perforations and propels it towards strip 10.  Screens 19 and 20 provided with means for vibrating them in their own planes may be provided above the strip 10 and such screens may be electrically connected so that there is a potential difference between them and the strip. In other embodiments the metering roll consists of a hollow cylinder formed of a material which is permeable to gas, but not to the powder e.g. sintered bronze and having axially positioned therein an apertured pipe connected to a source of compressed air and stationary baffles extending from said pipe to the interior surface of the cylinder, which baffles define a sector of the cylinder such that compressed air in this sector perculates through to the cylinder surface and blows the powder from the surface of the cylinder on to the strip to be coated.  Such a metering roll can be used for coating the strip from beneath. Again vibrating screens may be provided between the metering roll and the strip and the potential drop may be graduated in accordance with the spacing of the screens.  A hood may also be provided between the metering roll and the strip to confine the powder therewithin.  The apparatus may be used to deposit metal or plastics powder in particular metallic alloys and the coating step may be followed by compacting and sintering.  Coatings of Al, Ni, Zn, Sn, Fe/Ni, Fe/Ni/Cr may be formed as single or as multilayers.  Steel strip may be so coated.

Title: Improvements in the recovery of callicrein
IPC: A61K38/48
Filed: 1953-08-19
Abstract: Zinc salts of callicrein are precipitated from an aqueous solution of the hormone at pH 4 to 7 by addition of a solution of a soluble zinc salt e.g. acetate, sulphate, nitrate or chloride, in the presence of a water miscible organic solvent e.g. alcohol, acetone, dioxane, glycol or mixtures thereof, and zinc salt of callicrein recovered from the precipitate by treatment with water or a neutral salt solution e.g. normal saline solution. Callicrein may be obtained by contacting the extract with an ion-exchanger to remove the zinc and precipitating the hormone from the percolate.  The zinc salt may be added to the aqueous solution of callicrein, and after separating the precipitated inactive materials, the hormone salt is precipitated by addition of the organic solvent to a concentration of thirty per cent.  If the starting material contains a large concentration of inactive material the organic solvent is added before the addition of the zinc salt.  Specification 757,095 is referred to.

Abstract: 598,756. Rolling tubes ; straightening by skew - rolling ; separating mandrels from work. BIGWOOD & SON, Ltd., J., and PICTON, J. B. Sept. 8, 1945, No. 23182. [Class 83 (iv)] In a reeling machine, for finishing or straightening tubes or for separating them from mandrels, and in which the work is passed between a pair of driven rolls having axes disposed in spaced parallel planes and being so shaped that the work in passing between them is bent laterally, each roll has a separate driving shaft arranged on the axis about which the angular adjustment of the roll takes place and coupled to the roll by gearing. The machine comprises abase 10 having a fixed column 11 and a longitudinally adjustable column 12 carrying angularly adjustable forked members 13 and 14 supporting rolls 23 and 22 respectively. The column 12 is movable along lower guideways 15 and along upper fixed rods 56 by means of screws 55 secured to the column and passing through nuts adapted to be rotated by worms 54 carried by a shaft 51 rotatable by a hand wheel 53. On the other side, the column 12 is shaped to form a bearing for a circular projection 18 formed on the forked member 14 carrying the roll 22, the shaft 24 of which is geared to a parallel shaft 29 which is in turn geared to a shaft 33 coincident with the axis of rotation of the member 14 and carrying a pulley 34 adapted to be driven by a belt 35 from a motor mounted on the top of the column. The belt is tensioned by adjusting the motor-supporting bracket 40. Angular adjustment of the member 14 is effected by a screwed shaft 44 passing through a nut 43 on the machine frame and coupled to a lug 47 on the member 14. Bolts 49 passing through arcuate slots 48 and carrying nuts 50 enable the fork to be clamped after adjustment. Alternatively, the shaft 44 could carry a worm meshing with teeth formed on the base of the member 14. The roll 23 is similarly supported on the fixed column 11. The work is supported on a member 17 upstanding from the base of the machine. This member may be arranged to be traversed along the bed at half the speed of the column 12. In amodification, both shafts 33 may be geared'to a common driving shaft instead of having separate driving motors.

[Class 40 (iii).] Photo-electric cells which generate an E.M.F. under light action are used for light measurement, controlling ultra-violet or X-rays, relay and other purposes under conditions such that the current in the cell circuit cannot rise above the current at which fatigue can occur. This current limitation may be attained by an adjustable resistance in the cell circuit or by means of a counter E.M.F. In one arrangement the counter E.M.F. obtained by a battery b, Fig. 1, resistance,r and potentiometer wire m is adjusted by the arm d so that the current in the cell circuit z, a as read by the meter a may be reduced below the fatigue point. The wire m may be graduated and a fixed scale point used in the meter a, which may correspond to zero current. An instrument for light measurement may include a casing h, a scale a and an adjustably mounted cell casing z. This may also be fitted with interchangeable filters o for modifying the action on the cell. In the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 an alternative bridge circuit is described. Reference is also made to cells having a photo-electrically acting layer in intimate connection on both sides with good conducting layers of carbon, metal or alkaline metal. These matters do not appear in the Specification as accepted.
