Abstract: 1,075,194. Sampling liquids. DISTILLERS CO. Ltd. Feb. 25, 1966 [March 10, 1965], No. 10072/65. Heading B8N. [Also in Divisions B1 and G1] A process for obtaining samples from a fluid stream e.g. the vapour steam in the outlet pipe of a chemical reactor comprises passing part of the stream through an elongated vessel in parallel with the stream and from D to E, the vessel having constrictions F, G adjacent each extremity, ports A, C adjacent the constrictions and a third port B situated between the ports A, C, passing a carrier gas into the vessel via the ports A, B, C at a rate just sufficient to prevent diffusion of the vapour to be sampled through the ports, and when a sample is required introducing carrier gas at a much higher pressure via the ports A, C, whereby the sample contained between these ports and in parts V 1 , V 2  of the vessel is swept out through the port B to e.g. a gas chromatograph. Normal flow through the vessel is then resumed until a further sample is required. A practical embodiment is described wherein the carrier gas at the required pressures and the other switching requirements are carried out using a multiport valve. The parts V 1 , V 2  of the vessel are preferably spiral tubes and the constrictions F, G are constituted by bellows valves which constrict the vapour flow to a greater extent when the high-pressure carrier gas is supplied to the ports A, C when a sample is being taken. The carrier gas may be hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide or a noble gas and to avoid effects of vapour condensation in the multi-port valve, a pre-column packed with material in which the vapour of thesample is soluble is provided between the port B and the valve to reduce the partial pressure of the vapour and thus the possibility of condensation occurring when the hot vapour contacts the relatively cool valve ports.

Title: Improvements in or relating to filling mechanism for packing machines for fibrous material
IPC: B65B63/02
Filed: 1934-04-10
Abstract: 422,608. Filling-machines. HESSER MASCHINENFABRIK AKT.-GES., F., 99, Olgastrasse, Cannstatt, Stuttgart, Germany. April 10, 1934, No. 10751. Convention date, April 28, 1933. [Class 94 (i)] Relates to machines for filling fibrous material, such as tobacco, into containers, and of the kind in which the passage of a weighed quantity of material from a hopper to a pressing chamber is regulated by a flap so controlled that, in the absence of a packet to be filled, the tobacco is conveyed away through an auxiliary outlet. The weighed charge of tobacco falls from a hopper 1 into a passage 2 constituted by three fixed walls 3, 4, 5, and a fourth wall 6 formed as a rocking flap valve. At the beginning of the operation, the valve is in the position shown in broken lines, a lower extension 8 closing the entrance to the pressing chamber 40. After the delivery of the tobacco, the valve 6 moves to the position shown in full lines, and a plunger 32 moves from the top position, Fig. 1, shown in broken lines downwards to compress the charge, the extension 8 forming, during this stroke, the lower portion of one side of the passage. The packets P to be filled are inserted in holders 51 on an intermittently rotated moved wheel. In the normal working of the machine, a plate 24 is brought against the packet in the working position immediately preceding that at which filling takes place. The presence of the packet prevents the full movement of links 18-22, 25 connected to the plate, but, if no packet is present, the links are moved by a spring 76 to cause a pawl 16 to engage a stop 15, thereby preventing the valve 6 from returning from the position shown in full lines. The tobacco charge for which there is no packet is thus conducted away through an auxiliary shoot 65. If, however, a packet is present, it is brought by the next movement of intermittent rotation into line with the pressing chamber 40, and moved to the right by a plunger 60 to embrace a nozzle 50. The plunger 32 rises slightly and a plunger 41 moves to the left to force the charge through the funnel into the packet. When the plunger reaches the position 41<a>, the plunger 60 begins to recede, and the packet is forced back into the holder 51 by the further advance of the plunger 41 to position 41b. In a modified form of apparatus, a number of pressing chambers are carried on an endless chain, and the insertion of the charge into the packet is effected at a position removed from that of the preliminary compression. This permits further treatment such as smoothing, arrangement of fibres &c., to be carried out at intermediate stations.
