Title: Coating electrically conductive articles by electrophoresis
IPC: C25D13/22
Filed: 1964-10-09
Abstract: Articles mounted on a conveyer are electrophoretically coated with organic coating material by passing the articles through a tank containing a coating bath comprising the organic coating material in an aqueous dispersing medium and passing D.C. between an electrode and an article immersed in the bath, the bath being separated from a flushing zone containing a flushing fluid by microporous wall through which dispersing medium but not coating material can flow so that the flow of flushing fluid removes some of the dispersing medium from the bath.  As described either (a) the organic coating material includes a polymer with free carboxyl groups and the dispersing medium includes a water-soluble amine or ammonia or (b) the organic coating material includes a polymer with amine or quaternary ammonium groups and the dispersing medium includes a water-soluble carboxylic acid or buffered phosphoric acid.  Paints so formulated are deposited at either the anode for (a) or the cathode for (b).  Typically the microporous wall has pores of 100 to 10,000 A diameter and is formed of polystyrene polyvinyl chloride, sintered glass or ceramic.  For use in coating with paints of types (a) and (b), the polymeric microporous wall may be ion-selective, containing free sulphuric acid groups or quaternary ammonium groups respectively.  The porous wall dividing coating bath and flushing fluid may be one or more partition within the tank, may surround the electrode or the coating bath or may form a part of a filtration plant or define the central compartment of a three-compartment electrodialysis cell through which the coating bath is circulated externally of the coating cell.

Title: Improvements in or relating to dispensing apparatus
Inventor: SAYER FREDERICK
IPC: A23G3/02
Filed: 1960-12-02
Abstract: 921,456. Filling pastries. JONSTAR Ltd. Oct. 31, 1961 [Dec. 2, 1960], No. 41523/60. Class 28 (2). [Also in Group XVII] In an apparatus for dispensing small amounts of filling materials, e.g. custard, jelly, jam, cream, a row of nozzles 31 discharges the filling material from a hopper 30 in timed relationship with an intermittently moving member 48 passing therebeneath which carries uniformly spaced rows of dough receptacles (not shown). The member 48, e.g. a baking-tray, is moved by a variable-speed motor 19 operating through a chain/wheel system 19a, 21, 20a, and reduction gear-box 20 to rotate a shaft 20b carrying a crank 22 from which a pin 23 extends; the clockwise rotation of the pin operates a freewheel device 25 by reciprocating a chain 24 rotatably secured at one end to the pin 23 and having a weight 26 at its other end, and the free-wheel in turn intermittently rotates wheels 13, 14 through shaft 11, the tray 48 resting on chains 17, 18 passing around the wheels 13, 14 and further wheels 15, 16 (wheel 16 hidden from view). As the first row of receptacles becomes aligned beneath nozzles 31 the moving member 48 depresses a lever 47a opening a valve 47, and compressed air, regulated to 40 1b. per square inch by a valve 45 connected to a supply line 44, is ported along lines 50, 52 to valves 51, 53 respectively. A cam 54 on pin 23 then opens valves 51 and the air pressure is communicated to valve 53 depressing a piston therein and connecting lines 52 and 56 to allow compressed air to pass to a valve 57, the actuating member 57a of which pushes up arms 34 causing a plate 33 in the hopper 30 to engage abutments 32b on valve needles 32 and lift the latter up to allow filling material to be dispensed through the nozzles 31. Valves 53, 57 have adjustable bleeding means allowing controlled escape of air from the conduits 55, 56 so that after a predetermined period the nozzles 31 close and the system returns to its previous state whereupon a further set of dough receptacles is aligned beneath the nozzles and the cycle is repeated. The hopper 30 is supplied by a pump with custard from a heated sump (not shown). In an embodiment (Fig. 6) needle valves 72 are rotated very slightly on each opening to reduce and even out wear, the valve actuating member 57a operating to rotate a cam-shaft 78 across the hopper which raises and rotates cam followers 77 which in turn rotate caps 73 attached to the valve needles 72.

Title: Drying Isocyanuric Acids and Salts
Inventor: WENZKE CARROLL JEROME
Filed: 1966-09-17
Abstract: 1,153,793. Drying chloroisocyanuric acids and salts. FMC CORP. 17 Sept. 1966. No. 41601/66. Heading C1A. A wet cake of di-, or tri-chloroisocyanuric acid, sodium-, or potassium dichloroisocyanurate, or a mixture thereof is dried by passing a gas stream at up to 550 F. through the finely divided cake at a flow rate of 2000-5000 fpm until the particles of cake are uniformly dry and removing particles of the dry compound from the drying zone in the exit gas stream which is maintained at 220-320 F. The moisture content of the wet cake can be reduced to 5% or less before drying as above by mixing with the anhydrous compound. A suitable drying zone is a cage-mill which both breaks up the wet cake and allows good contact with the hot gas stream, which passes through the tumbling particles and leaves through an outlet at the top of the cage-mill entraining the lighter dry particles but leaving the heavier wet particles inside the mill.

Title: Improvements in or relating to conveyor systems
IPC: B65G19/02
Filed: 1963-10-23
Abstract: 1,042,168. Conveyer systems. D. A. CARGILL. and L. M. FORSTER. Oct. 23. 1963 [Jan. 14, 1963], No. 41747/63. Heading B7L. A conveyer system has pallets 18 supported by uprights 22, axles 23, 24 and wheels 25 on a track 11, 12, 13, Figs. 1, 2, 3, each pallet having a sprocket 27 engaged with a moving roller chain 14. 15, 16 through a clutch which when engaged holds the sprocket stationary whereby the pallet is driven and when released allows the sprocket to freely rotate with the pallet stationary. The clutch comprises a spring steel band 30 helically wound on an oil retaining bearing 29 of sintered metal, pressed on to the sprocket hub 28; one end of the band is preloaded by a leaf-spring 31. Fig. 1, and the other end is connected to a light spring 34 anchored to a pin 35 on an upright 22; this latter end is also clamped against a rocket arm 37 by a set-screw in the arm pivot 39, Fig. 3. A clutch control arm 41 mounted on axle 23, is biased by spring 42 to the shown position in which a small gap 45 exists between arms 37 and 41. In operation, the band 30 normally holds the sprocket 27 stationary and the pallet is moved. However should the surface 46 of arm 41 engage the rear axle of a proceding pallet or should projection 47 engage a retractable stop 49 (manually or automatically controlled), the arm 41 engages and rotates arm 37 to relieve the tension in band 30 whereby the clutch is released and the sprocket allowed to rotate freely. Further travel of arm 41 merely produces relative movement between surfaces 50, 51 of arms 41, 37 without further moving arm 37. The preload of spring 42 may be calibrated to provide a desired shockabsorbing action. However, spring 42 does provide some spring back of the pallet and this is avoided by a second embodiment, Figs. 5, 8, in which two driving sprockets 58 are mounted on a shaft 59 having track-engaging rollers 60. The clutch band is coiled on a bearing on shaft 59 and is secured at one end to an adjustable anchor 71, 78 and at the other end to a rod 72 biased by a spring 74 in pocket 75 toward a cam 76 on a control arm 77, the nut 78 of anchor 71, 78 adjusting the position of the head 73 of rod 72 relative to cam 76. Travel of arm 77 past the initial clutch releasing position produces a shock-absorbing clutch engagement of a band 82 wrapped on a bearing 83 secured to the shaft 81 of arm 77. The ends of band 82 are rigidly connected at 84 and connected by an adjustable spring 85 to the pallet frame respectively. The band 82 resists travel of arm 77 and a return spring 87 is light so that spring- back is eliminated.
