Abstract: 1,001,642. Shoe bottom presses. BRITISH UNITED SHOE MACHINERY CO. Ltd. Oct. 30, 1961 [Nov. 1, 1960], No. 38681/61. Heading A3B. A pad box comprises forepart, shank and heel pad assemblies 27, 29, 31 moveable relative to one another and supported on trays 24, 25, 26 respectively. When the shoe has no heel attached thereto the heel pad comprises a rubber heel filler block 32 resting on a U-shaped pad 34, which filler block 32 is replaced, when the shoe has a heel attached thereto, by a heel supporting block 114 (Fig. 5) which is moved into a position on the U-shaped pad 34 as the pad box is moved towards heel and toe abutments 86, 84. The shank tray 25 is pivoted on a shaft 40 fixed in a frame 42 of the pad box and is hingedly connected to the forepart tray 24 by a link 44 which is mounted for restricted longitudinal movement relative to the shank tray 25. The heel tray 26 comprises two forks 35 which are supported on a pin 62 extending through slots in the shank tray 25. Two arms 47 supporting the heel tray 26 and an arm 56, having a slot 59 in it through which a stud 60 fixed in the shank tray 25 passes, are fixed to a shaft 57 rotatably mounted in the frame 42 and serve as balancing members to correlate the movement between the shank and heel trays. A similar balancing mechanism is provided for the forepart and shank trays wherein the forepart tray 24 rests on a pin 64 secured between two balancing arms 66 pivoted in the frame 42 and extending beneath the shank tray. The shoe on the pad box is brought rapidly and under low pressure into engagement with the abutment devices 84, 86 whereas a higher pressure is slowly exerted during the sole attaching operation. The abutment devices 84, 86 are balanced by a walking beam 100 pivoted on a shaft 102 secured in a bracket 104 and are automatically adjusted to accommodate different sizes of shoes. As the shoe is raised, a feeler roll 186 mounted between two arms 180 which are mounted on shaft 102 and which are connected through a yielding linkage to the toe abutment 84, contacts the cone of the last and is moved to cause the toe abutment to be moved away from the heel abutment to a position appropriate to a particular size of shoe. The heel supporting mechanism which is rendered inoperative when a shoe without a heel is operated upon comprises a reciprocating bar 116 carrying the heel supporting block 114 and mounted for horizontal movement in a carriage 120. A linkage 134 moves the bar 116 and block 114 into engagement with the heel when the pad box is raised and two ratchet bars 118, 122 are engaged to lock the heel supporting block in position when pressure is exerted on the pad box. Specification 936,294 is referred to.

The new antibiotic B-5050, which is produced by aerobically cultivating a new strain of Streptomyces hygroscopicus having the accession number IFO-12995, is a macrolide substance comprising components B-5050-A, B, C, D, E and F and has the following general properties: Melting point 137‹ to 141‹ C. ; molecular weight 880Œ90; analysis, C=58À14%, H=7À88%, N=1À73% O=32À15Œ1À0; specific rotation [α]<SP>24</SP> D  =-76À4‹Œ8‹ (C=1 in ethanol); no significant U.V. absorption; I.R. absorption bands at 3448, 2924, 1736, 1453, 1376, 1295, 1239, 1167, 1081, 1050, 968, 912, 861 and 840 cm<SP>-1</SP>.; and being a basic substance giving positive reactions to the Dragendorf and Erythromycin tests and a negative reaction to the carbomycin test, soluble in alkanols, ketones, chloroform, benzene, ether, ethyl acetate and aqueous acids and insoluble in neutral water and n-hexane. The components A, B, C, D, E and F have the same general properties as the composite antibiotic B-5050 and have individual distinguishing characteristics as follows: Antibiotic B-5050 is isolated from the fermentation broth, preferably after filtering off the mycelium, by rendering alkaline and extracting with a water-immiscible solvent. The mycelium may also be extracted using a water-miscible solvent. The crude solid is prepared by conventional procedures of absorption and elution, solvent extraction and final concentration and precipitation with a non-solvent. The components are separated by fractional chromatography on a column e.g. of silica gel or alumina, developing with a mixture of polar and non-polar solvent and progressively increasing the proportion of the latter whereby the components are successively eluted in their order of affinity for this solvent i.e. B-5050-A, then -B through to -F. Alternatively they may be separated by partition chromatography or liquid-liquid countercurrent distribution, using similar polar/non- polar solvent mixtures. A further method of separation involves extraction of a waterimmiscible solvent solution of the mixture with progressively acidic buffer solutions; or elution from a macroreticular non-ionic resin with aqueous methanol. The antibiotic and its components may be converted to their acid addition salts e.g. the hydrochloride, sulphate, tartrate or nicotinate. Pharmaceutical compositions having antibacterial activity comprise antibiotic B-5050 or one or more of its component antibiotics A to F together with a pharmaceutical carrier. They are preferably in a form for topical application e.g. an ointment.

Abstract: 1335900 Stabilized polymer sulphonates ESSO RESEARCH & ENG CO 24 Aug 1971 [2 Sept 1970] 39583/71 Heading C3P A process for rendering water dispersible polymers containing sulphonic acid groups storage-stable, comprises (a) preparing a slurry of the resin sulphonic acid in a suspending medium, (b) adding to the slurry, a powdered base which is insoluble in the suspending medium, the latter being unreactive with the resin acid and the base, (c) separating the resulting insoluble mixture of acid and base from the suspending medium, and (d) drying the separated mixture. The resulting product is a solid intimate mixture of polymer acid and base, no actual reaction having taken place due to the non-reactive suspending medium. The suspending medium is preferably a chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbon such as dichloroethane, carbon tetrachloride, chloroform or methylene chloride. The resin sulphonic acid may be, for example, a sulphonated homo- or copolymer of styrene or a derivative thereof. Particular polymers specified are copoly(styrene/acrylonitrile), copoly(vinyl toluene/acrylonitrile), copoly(styrene/vinyl toluene/acrylonitrile), copoly(alphamethylstyrene/ acrylonitrile/ethyl methacrylate), copoly(styrene/SO 2 ), copoly(styrene/ethylacrylate), copoly (styrene/butadiene) and copoly(styrene/isobutylene). Preferably, sufficient base is added in (b), such that when the mixture obtained from (d) is dissolved in water, the pH of the resulting solution is 6-9. The drying may be for example air drying, although heat or vacuum drying may also be used. Examples of the bases are alkali metal or alkaline earth metal hydroxides, carbonates or acetates. The slurry in step (a) may be prepared by reacting the polymer with a complex of SO 3  and triethylphosphate in the halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon to be used in the process.
