[Also in Division H1A] Electric wires are insulated by coating with foamed synthetic resin by dispersing crystalline synthetic resin particles e.g. of low and high density polyethylene or polypropylene, of average particle size no greater than 80 mesh (Tyler) in a solvent therefor, the amount of solvent being from 1 to 1.8 times the weight of the particles, heating the suspension thus formed to a temperature sufficient to dissolve the resin particles in the solvent, applying the solution to the wire, cooling the coating to a temperature below its clouding point, and heating the cooled coating to cause foaming. The suspension may be heated in a screw extruder and the resin solution coated on the wire by means of a crosshead fitted to the extruder and the solution may be applied at a pressure of 1,000 to 50,000 g/sq. cm. The solution may be applied at a temperature between the boiling point of the solvent and the temperature at which the solvent shows a vapour pressure lower than the pressure applied on the solution. The solution may also be applied by passing the wire therethrough.

Abstract: 207,584. Macintosh Cable Co., Ltd., Sewell, H. E., and Hinds, J. Aug. 3, 1922. Winding - machines; stop-motions. - Machines for winding wire and the like are automatically stopped when the reel is full, when knots appear, or when the material breaks or runs out, by means operating to cause parallel levers 11 carrying the reel spindle bearings 13 to be disengaged from lips 15<a> of a trip-lever 15 and thus to bring about the fall of the spindle 8 on to a brakeblock 20 and consequently to slacken the driving-belt. For stopping the machine when the reel is full, the above disengagement is effected by means of a cranked lever 17, one end of which carries a roller 18 bearing against the underside of the reel, and the other end rests against a set-screw 19 in the lower end of the trip-lever. The set screw is adjusted according to the diameter of reel required. For stopping the machine when knots appear, adjustable dies 7 are fixed in an eccentrically pivoted bracket 21 having a striker 22 adapted to bear against the upper end 15<b> of the trip lever. The bracket 21 is pivoted to a pillar 28 screwed into a traverse-bar 24.

Title: Process of and apparatus for refining oils or fats
Inventor: MILBERS ARTHUR
IPC: C11B3/06
Filed: 1951-09-07
Abstract: <PICT:0707470/III/1> <PICT:0707470/III/2> Fatty oils and waxes of vegetable, animal or synthetic origin, for example rape seed oil, spermaceti and beeswax, are refined to remove their free fatty acid content by circulating them with a neutralizing agent in a number of consecutive stages, circulation in each stage being on the air-lift pump principle.  The neutralizing agent may be a caustic alkali, an alkaline-earth hydroxide, an alkali metal carbonate, ammonia or an organic base such as triethanolamine.  The neutralization may be effected under reduced pressure, and the water present may be evaporated to such an extent that a dry soap is obtained.  The soap may be separated by centrifuging in one or more stages, such centrifuging being assisted by the addition of concentrated salt solutions, solutions of caustic alkali or alcohols.  The salt solutions may contain sodium, potassium or ammonium chloride or sulphate or alkaline-earth metal salts.  As shown, the refining vessel 6 is divided into six chambers by the partitions 16, each chamber containing a pipe 17 open at both ends and surrounded by an outer pipe 18.  The chambers are divided into two sets by a partition 25, both sets being connected to vacuum lines 26, 28, and the vacuum in line 28 being greater than that in line 26.  Each pipe 17 is fitted with a heat exchanger 41 and a pipe 19 for introducing the driving medium, e.g. steam.  The oil is introduced into the riser pipe 17 of the first chamber through the line 5, and the neutralizing agent is introduced through the line 9.  All the neutralizing agent may be added at this stage or some may be introduced at a later stage.  The mixture of oil and neutralizing agent is lifted to the top of the riser 17 by the driving medium and overflows into the outer pipe 18.  From there it passes through the opening 21 in partition 16 to the next chamber, where it is treated similarly in the riser pipe and passed to the next chamber.  It is circulated in a similar manner in succession through each chamber, and finally emerges through line 22.  The mixture of neutral oil and soap is kept in motion in vessel 23 by treatment with steam, and passed to the mixer 34.  Salt solutions or alcohol may be added to the mixer 34 from vessel 35 and the resulting sludge is centrifuged in 38 to give neutral oil and soap stock.

Abstract: 746,857. Gas producer plant. POWER-GAS CORPORATION Ltd., and RUSCHIN, K. July 9, 1954 [July 31, 1953], No. 21235/53. Class 55(1). In cyclically operated gas producers embodying a hand-charged generator with a man ually operable charging door, a latch associated with the door and a valve or valves &c. controlling the flow of gaseous reactants is so arranged that the door cannot be opened unless the latch is released and the latter can be released only when the flow of reactants has stopped and cannot be restored to permit flow until the door is closed. In a water gas plant access to the retaining screw 14 of the clamp 12 of a charging door 10 is prevented during operation by a guard 22 which cannot be moved to uncover the screw owing to the raised position of a latch 24 movable vertically by means of a lever 26. The main air valve 18 is connected to a lever 60 having an abutment 62 which, by an anti-clockwise movement until it engages an abutment 56 on a lever 54 connected by link 52 and bell crank 50 to lever 26, permits the valve to open. The main steam valve 16 is connected by a link 36 to a lever 34 which operates a mask plate 32 of an automatic operator 20 driven by a pawl 28 and also to an interlock 40 preferably comprising rotatable discs 38, 42 each with a recess in which part of the other disc is received. In the position shown valve 16 is open. To free the charging door, lever 34 is moved to disengage the pawl, close the steam valve and rotate disc 38 clockwise, thus freeing disc 42 and enabling lever 26 to be moved to the left after the air valve has been closed which operation permits lever 54 to rotate clockwise. Latch 24 is thus depressed and guard 22 may be moved to free the door clamp screw. In this position a projection 64 of the guard prevents return of the latch while the guard is displaced Electric, hydraulic or pneumatic operation of the interlocking means may be provided.
Patent GB-213304-A (GB)
Abstract: 213,304. Goold, L. W., (Burroughs Adding Machine Co.). Oct. 30, 1922. Multiplying and dividing apparatus; printing totals; controlling printing of zeros.-A multiplying and listing machine of the Moon-Hopkins type, described in Specifications 18058/07, 16320/08, 18321/08, and 18322/08, is provided with means whereby the process of reduction, say of pence to pounds, shillings and pence, may be rendered practicable. The process is effected by successive multiplications of the given number by the reciprocals of the various divisors, the whole numbers after each operation being printed and cleared and the remaining decimal fraction retained in the totalizer for the succeeding reducing operation. To this end, a " blocking " key 1 is connected by the mechanism shown to a sliding U-shaped member 10 the arms of which can thus be moved to block the actuating rackbars 100 and the printing hammer bell-cranks pertaining to, for example, the three lowest denominations. The rack-bars are thus held and the corresponding totalizer wheels prevented from zeroizing and the obstruction of the bell-cranks prevents the printing of zeros to the right when the whole numbers transmitted from the totalizer to the obstructed rack-bars are printed.
