Title: Improvements in non-corrosive synthetic detergent compositions
IPC: C11D1/34
Filed: 1957-10-02
Abstract: Alkyl (tallow) chloroglyceryl ether is made by condensing tallow alcohol with epichlorhydrin.  Tallow alkyl monoglyceryl ether is obtained by refluxing the chloroglyceryl ether with dioxane/water containing sodium bicarbonate, continuing the refluxing after addition of concentrated sulphuric acid, and extracting the solution with petroleum ether.  Tallow alkyl glyceryl ether phosphates are obtained (a) by treating a solution of the monoglyceryl ether in ethylene dichloride in an atmosphere of nitrogen with phosphorus oxychloride which may contain a little phosphorus trichloride, or (b) by heating the ether with phosphorus pentoxide, polyphosphoric acid or orthophosphoric acid at 100 DEG C. under reduced pressure; in either case the acid products obtained are subsequently neutralized to produce the sodium salt.  The products should be reacted with sufficient phosphating agent to introduce at least one atom of phosphorus per molecule.  Reference is also made to analogous phosphated alkyl glyceryl ethers in which the alkyl radical contains 14 to 18 carbon atoms.  Specification 652,339 is referred to.ALSO:A detergent composition comprises (a) as a calcium sequestrant, a salt (preferably a sodium salt) of tripolyphosphoric, ethylenediaminetetracetic, hydroxyethylethylenediaminetetracetic or nitrilotriacetic acids, or a mixtures of such salts, and (b) at least 0.5% usually 0.5-20%, by weight of (a) of a phosphated alkylglyceryl ether containing an alkyl group of 14-18 carbon atoms and at least one phosphorus atom per molecule.  Detergents which may be used include anionics such as alkylbenzene sulphonates, alkyl sulphates, alkyl glyceryl ether sulphonates, isothionates, taurides, sulphoacetates, and alkyl polyetheneoxy sulphates in the form of the sodium, potassium, lithium, ammonium, substituted ammonium, calcium or magnesium salts, and non-ionics such as ethylene oxide condensates with oleyl alcohol, dodecyl- or dioctyl-phenol sorbitol ester of oleic acid, tall oil, and with the condensate of propylene oxide and propylene glycol; cationic detergents are not suitable.

Title: Improvements in or relating to liquid-fuel vaporizing apparatus for internal combustion engines
IPC: F02M31/18
Filed: 1932-11-03
Abstract: 406,423. Vaporizers. GODWARD, E. R., 397, Ellis Road, Invercargill, New Zealand. Nov. 3, 1932, No. 31008. [Class 7 (iii).] Exhaust gases entering a chamber B at B<1> pass around a vaporizing chamber A of conoidal form and heat its wall which is provided externally with horizontal ribs. Within the vaporizing chamber A, vertical ribs A<2> co-operate with an inner conoidal plug C to divide combustible mixture entering at A<4> into separate streams which widen out as they ascend. The upper side of the plug C is open to the atmosphere to keep the plug cooler than the outer wall of the vaporizing chamber. The ascending mixture strikes stepped portions C<1>, C<2> of the plug C and these portions throw the heavier, wet particles in the mixture against the heated outer wall of the chamber A. Particles that are not thus vaporised drain down into an annular collecting chamber D disposed below the level of its mouth, which has a projecting lip D<1>, to retain the particles until they are vaporized and drawn out of the chamber by the suction of the main stream of combustible mixture.

Title: Improvements in or relating to arc-gaps for protecting electric power supply systems
IPC: H01T1/12
Filed: 1937-11-12
Abstract: 505,570. Protective arrangements. REYROLLE & CO., Ltd., A., LEESON, B. H., and LEYBURN, H. Nov. 12, 1937, No. 31092. [Class 3S(iv)] In an arc-gap of the high speed type one electrode surrounds the other and the arrangement of the electrodes is such that on flash-over a magnetic field, set up by the current flowing, drives the arc away from the region which determines the flash-over value. As shown, a hollow spherical electrode D, supported on a metal tube D<1> carried by an insulator B, is connected to the overhead line by a conductor C and is located within a cylindrical electrode A which is earth connected at A2 and has a hinged cover plate E. Flash-over is determined by the spacing X between the electrodes which is materially smaller than the diameter of the electrode D and when it occurs the are travels into a vertical position, indicated by Y, by reason of convection effects and electrodynamic forces resulting from the electrode arrangement. The arc-gap is ventilated by openings E<3>, B<2> at the top and bottom of the assembly, respectively, and, if desired, an " aregrate " or plate with narrow slots may bo mounted beneath the cover plate E to prevent undue lengthening of the arc. In order to relieve excessive pressure resulting from a heavy follow-through current an opening D<2> is provided at the top of the electrode D communicating with the tube D<1>, the latter having a spring-controlled outlet valve F at its lower end, the operation of which is indicated by a pivoted flap F<1>. The cover plate E may also open under excess pressure and reclose automatically when the pressure falls. In another arrangement, Fig. 2 (not shown), the outer electrode is a conical casing within which the position of the inner electrode may be adjusted longitudinally by means of a screwthread and locking nut to obtain the desired flash-over voltage setting.
