Title: Transport truck
IPC: B62B3/06
Filed: 1978-01-26
Abstract: This transport truck is provided with a load carrier (2) which can be lifted and lowered relative to a vehicle chassis (1). The load carrier (2) has two fork arms (10) with front running rollers (11). These running rollers (11) are each connected via a plunger (12, 13) to an articulation device in such a way that they can be swung up and down. The articulation device is attached between the chassis (1) and the load carrier (2) and comprises an articulated lever (16) whose ends (18, 22) are mounted in an articulated manner on the chassis (1) and the load carrier (2) respectively. A horizontal beam (17) is pivotably connected to the articulated lever (16) about a vertical axis (24). The ends of the plungers (12, 13) opposite the running rollers (11) are each fastened in an articulated manner to one side of the horizontal beam (17). The articulation device consists of few individual parts and it can be adapted in a simple manner to transport trucks of a different track gauge. <IMAGE>

Abstract: 881,389. Rolling paper pulp. CURLATOR CORPORATION. Jan. 30, 1959, No. 3422/59. Class 96. In a machine for rolling wood pulp &c. between two finely knurled surfaces 40 and 70 shaped generally as dished discs, one surface, 40, is positively driven via belting 177 &c., and the other, which is eccentric thereto, is rotated, by friction exerted through the pulp fibre &c., at a speed which is greater or less than that of the surface 40 according to whether the region of closest approach lies inwardly from the rim of the free disc surface 70, as at A, or from the rim of the driven disc surface 40, i.e. according to the positioning, eccentricity, and amount of relative tilting of the two surfaces. Pulp is fed in at 130 to a feed-screw 131 driven from a countershaft 172, excess supply causing a plunger 223 to be pressed away from the working zone to operate a limit switch 221 which actuates a magnetic clutch 168 to stop the feed screw, the plunger 223 returning under the action of a spring 230 when the pressure is relieved due to the pulp fibre being cleared from the central region, due to the action of centrifugal force etc.; discharge from the rim being aided by paddles or flingers 42. The working surfaces 40, 70 may be formed on concentric rings 33 . . . 36 and 63 . . . 66 on discs 30, 60 which are secured to sleeves 26, 76 respectively mounted in tapered-roller bearings 25, 80 protected by labyrinth seals 73 &c. An hydraulic piston 200 urges the free disc assembly towards the driven disc assembly by an amount indicated on a scale 260. The speed of the discs at their rims may be about 6000 f.p.m. and the speed difference about 200 f.p.m. Z-shaped brackets 51 allow the casings to expand or contract thermally without warping. Water may be pumped in through a duct 182 to cool the bearings 25. Steam may be supplied at 160 to heat the pulp. A frame 21 which carries the floating housing may be unlocked and swung away from the frame which carries the driving plate.

Abstract: 564,209. Measuring surface roughness. BROWN & SONS (HUDDERSFIELD), Ltd., D., and TUPLIN, W. A. March 3, 1943, No. 3476. [Class 106 (ii)] An instrument for measuring surface roughness of the type in which a tracing member operates multiplying mechanism, comprises means to respond to movements of the tracer head a relative to the traversing head c instead of, as usual, to movements of the tracer needle f relative to the tracer head a. The tracer lever g is pivoted at h on the tracer head, and is almost balanced by a spring i, so that slight movements of the lever actuate the usual multiplying mechanism j. Surrounding the needle f is a skid d supporting the tracer head. For measuring coarse irregularities in the surface, a screw m is screwed down to lift the needle f. Movements of the skid d are then transmitted through parts a, b, c, c', m to lever g and multiplying device at a ratio dependent on the distance A.

Title: Dehydration of fluid fatty mixtures above normal coagulation temperatures
IPC: A23G1/56
Filed: 1963-01-29
Abstract: 1,006,954. Drying foods. C. GREENFIELD. Jan. 29, 1963, No. 3634/63. Drawings to Specification. Heading A2D. In dehydrating fluid systems comprising a mixture of fat, non-fat solids and water by heating at a temperature above that at which the non-fat solids are normally coagulated in the presence of a fat liquid medium as a heat transfer agent, the concentration of the non-fat solids present is increased to substantially avoid such coagulation, e.g. by low-temperature initial dehydration, adding extraneous non-fate solids or cooling at least a portion of the system to precipitate solids in situ and recycling these to the system undergoing dehydration. The heating may be within the temperature range 120‹ to 350‹F. for from 30 seconds to 1 hour to preferably produce a dehydrated material having a substantially reduced bacterial content. Based on the weight of a fat-free system the increased concentration of non-fat solids may be in the range 25 to 99+%. Foods which can be dried by the invention process include milk and milk products, eggs and egg products, e.g. mayonnaise, fish and meat flavourings, e.g. vanilla, puddings, soups, chocolate, yeast, bones, edible and inedible proteins, and the components may be in suspension or colloidal and/or true solution to form the fluid. The fat component may be natural glycerides, concomitants of fats e.g. oil-soluble vitamins, steroids, phospholipids, and synthetic fats including petroleum oils. Additional similar or different fat may be added to the fluid system as a heat transfer agent to assist in the moisture removal process and impart desirable characteristics such as antoxidant value, taste and odour, to the food. Examples are concerned with drying a system comprising whole egg, lecithin, water and added fat by heating in vacuo in at least two stages, finally pressing the dry slurry to produce dry hard cakes of original fat and egg oil, and drying and substantially sterilizing inedible animal tissue comprising bones and offal and having a high bacterial loading. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 852,747.
