Title: Improvements in apparatus for binding or tying boxes, barrels, bales, packages and the like
IPC: B65B13/02
Filed: 1927-12-09
Abstract: 307,958. Mortimer, G. Dec. 9, 1927. Wire strainers.-In a bale-wiring machine the free end of the wire is secured by a gripper which comprises a pivoted portion B and a stationary part C, the pivoted portion being depressed and held by a cam lever E against a spring F. A spring detent may hold the gripper closed.- The gripper may co-act with a predeformed wire or may itself deform the wire during gripping. The gripper is carried on a lever arm Y pivoted to a vertical pin S and engaged by a horizontal rod T which abuts against a tappet lever Z projecting into the path of a cam on the shaft of the ratchet-operated tensioning drum R so that the lever arm Y is positively moved to apply tension to both ends of the wire simultaneously. A deforming gripper P may be associated with the cutter 0 to deform a new length of wire in readiness for being placed in the first gripper.

Abstract: 637,840. Aircraft controls. AVIATION WORKS, NATIONAL CORPORATION, and SLECHTA, J. Dec. 18, 1947, No. 33448. Convention date, Nov. 15, 1946. [Class 4] A pilot's control member 9 for operating the ailerons and elevator of an aircraft comprises two members 1, 4, which are connected to the elevator control-rod 8 and aileron control-rod 7, respectively, and each of which is arranged to move in the fore-and-aft direction.

Title: A process for the removal of ammonia and hydrogen sulphide from coal distillation and like gases
IPC: C10K1/00
Filed: 1928-11-15
Abstract: 307,903. Hansen, C. J., (Assignee of Koppers Akt.-Ges., H.). March 17, 1928, [Convention date]. Materials for purifying; purifier waste, revivefying ; pumping processes.-Hydrogen sulphide and ammonia are removed from gases, particularly coal gas, by passage with air, oxygen or oxidizing gas over a catalyst e.g. finely divided iron oxide heated to 300-400‹ C., to provide sulphurous acid which is used for regenerating spent solutions of oxy-sulphur compounds with which the gases are scrubbed. The gases may be cooled before the catalytic treatment, and ammonia distilled off from the gas vapour thus produced used in the scrubbing process; or the gases may be both cooled and washed and the ammonia distilled off from the condensate caused to react with the sulphurous acid to form sulphite-bisulphite liquor. This is used to remove part of the hydrogen sulphide from the gases before the catalytic treatment. The gas stream may be divided. one branch receiving the catalytic treatment and ammonia scrubbing, and the other being scrubbed with liquor from the ammonia scrubbing. Or one branch may be treated catalytically and the streams united for a scrubbing with concentrated ammoniacal liquor to form thiosulphate in one operation. The same effect is obtained by overloading the catalvtic apparatus or restricting the air supply. Liquor obtained by treating uncatalysed gas with sulphite-bisulphite liquor may be used to remove final traces of sulphurous acid. When the sulphur content of the gas is excessive in relation to that of the ammonia, the gas is scrubbed with polythionate solution before the catalytic treatment or part of the gas is treated catalytically, mixed with twice its volume of uncatalysed gas and the mixture scrubbed with ammonium thiosulphate liquor which is converted to polythionate. A similar effect is obtained by overloading the catalytic plant so as only to oxidize part of the hydrogen sulphide. If a large excess of the hydrogen sulphide is present some may be removed from the uncatalysed gas before mixing by means of polythionate liquor. In another method the gas is washed with iron manganese or zinc thiosulphate, and ammonia obtained from the gases. Part only of the gas may be washed with metal thiosulphate, and then mixed with the rest which has been catalytically oxidized, whereby the metal sulphide produced is re-dissolved as thiosulphate. The gas freed from ammonia may be washed with a neutral or alkaline suspension of iron hydroxide obtained by oxidation of spent iron thiosulphate liquor. This suspension may also be used instead of water for washing out ammonia and for removal of a part of the hydrogen sulphide.

The crystal, which has non-linear optical properties and is used as an optical frequency converter (see Divisions H3-H5), belongs to the acentric point group 6 mm., and has lattice constants a = 3À076 Š and c = 5À048 Š. It is used in a form at least 99-9% pure. The crystal is grown in the following manner: silicon and carbon are reacted to form a polycrystalline mass, which is then placed in a cylindrical space between a graphite heater and a thin wall graphite tube. On heating to 2300-2700‹ C. the mass sublimes, diffuses through the tube and crystallizes at the centre thereof. Hydrogen or argon is used to suppress graphite evaporation. The crystal is then cut into slabs and polished; its surfaces may be mirrored. Refractive indices and absorption spectra are given.

Abstract: 1,163,481. Making rotary anodes; improving physical properties. METALLWERK PLANSEE A.G. 26 July, 1967 [9 Sept., 1966], No. 34248/67. Headings B3A and B3V. [Also in Division H1] The rotary target of an X-ray tube is formed by rolling a full disc 4 and flow turning the margin 5 to form the shape shown. Preferably in rolling the disc 4 the direction of rolling at each pass is varied by 60 degrees. Thus all the main directions of deformation produced in forming the target lie parallel to the main surface of the disc and perpendicular to its outer edge. It is said that during deformation the crystal lattice planes in the target metal which have the densest packing of atoms, and hence greatest, wear resistance, align themselves perpendicular to the main direction of strain, and hence the outer edge of the disc is employed as the electron impact area or focal track.
