Abstract: 858,126. Viscosimeters. STANDARD OIL CO. May 29,1957, No. 17083/57. Class 106 (2). [Also in Groups XXIX and XXXV] A continuous flow viscosimeter comprises a product flow line 10, a closed high pressure circulating system 11, a first conduit 16a leading from the system, a heat exchanger 16 having a multiplicity of parallel flows 18 therethrough, and a pressure regulator 85, a pump 22 and capillary means 15, arranged in series with the heat exchanger 16 and a return conduit 48. A portion of the liquid in line 10 is pumped through the exchanger 16 and the regulator 85 and then through a regulator 21 by the pump 22. This second regulator 21 ensures a zero pressure differential around the pump 22 (see Group XXIX). The liquid then passes through a capillary tube 15 and back to the line 10. The pressure drop over the capillary tube 15 is directly proportional to the viscosity of the liquid and is indicated by a differential pressure gauge 87. The differential pressure also acts on an electrical strain gauge 36a, the signal from which is fed to a controller 36 which operates a proportioning valve 37 in one of two lines 38, 39, the liquids in which are blended to form the product in line 10. The unit can also be arranged to control the introduction of stripping steam to a distillation unit to control the viscosity of the product drawn off.

Title: Improvements in machines for testing the dynamic balance of rotary bodies
IPC: G01M1/04
Filed: 1932-06-18
Abstract: 401,040. Testing balance of rotary apparatus. KUCHENMEISTER, C. W., 16, John Dalton Street, Manchester. June 18, 1932, No. 17299. [Class 106 (ii).] In a dynamic balancing-machine of the type in which adjustable weights are provided to counteract the out-of-balance forces in the rotating part being balanced, the adjustment of the weights is effected by hand-wheels and the weights are intergeared so that if one only is moved by its hand-wheel, the other moves through an equal angle in the opposite direction. As shown in the Figure, the balancing- machine comprises a shaft b having a pulley c which is adapted to be secured to the rotor to be balanced. The planet wheel carrier d of a epicyclic gear is mounted coaxial with the shaft and is driven at half-speed through gear wheels h, g, f, e. The planetary gears consist of two pairs of bevel gears i, j on radial shafts k and engaging bevel gears u, p secured to the manually-controlled wheels m, o and wheels i, j which rotate discs q, r provided with counterbalance weights in pockets s, t and geared together through double pinions y, z to ensure that if one disc is adjusted in one direction the other will be turned in the reverse direction to an equal extent. The counterweights in the pockets s, t are arranged in the same plane and the weights are of different sizes so that they generate the same centrifugal force. The indicator for showing the direction of out-ofbalance comprises a lamp 5 fitted in the shaft b and projecting a beam of light on to a mirror 8 carried on the shaft. The angle of the mirror is adjusted by a pusher 9 operated by a bellcrank lever 10 and a rod 11 from an adjustable abutment 12 operated in accordance with the out-of-balance conditions during rotation to effect the indication of the angular position of the out-of-balance force on a graduated disc 13. In operation the control wheels m, o which are normally stationary are moved together to bring the weightier parts of the discs q, r to any angular position corresponding to the indication on the disc 13 and then one wheel is moved to separate the weights through equal angles at opposite sides of the angle of out-of-balance. Oil baths 18 are provided in the housing a for the lubrication of the gearing.

Filed: 1963-05-02
Abstract: 1,010,768. Roller mills. ROSE, DOWNS AND THOMPSON Ltd. May 20, 1964 [May 2, 1963], No. 17353/63. Heading B2A. Rolling equipment for flaking vegetable matter for the extraction of oil comprises two co-acting rolls 12, 13 extending between two housings 14, two roll chocks 15 slidably arranged in each housing for movement relative to each other in the housing, and a doubleended screw 17 conected between each pair of chocks for adjustably holding them together against the action of the rolling load. The opposite ends of each screw are oppositely threaded to co-operate with nuts 18, 20 bolted on opposing faces of the chocks 15, and a gear wheel 22 on each screw meshing with a pinion 23, is rotated to adjust the separation of the chocks and hence the roll gap. The axes of the screws are in the same plane as the plane containing the axes of the rolls, to reduce the rolling load to a minimum. The pinion 23 is fast on a shaft 24 which is coupled via a safety coupling 25 and a worm and worm wheel in a box 26 to a handwheel 27. The separation of the rolls on rotation of the handwheel is gauged by dials 32 for each housing. In operation, when work is introduced between the rollers 12, 13, the screws 17 hold the chocks 15 from moving apart. The rolls may be adjusted when under load, since a ball-bearing arrangement is provided between the threads of the screw and coacting threads of the nuts 18, 20 in each case, so as to reduce friction. If the work load exceeds a predetermined safety factor the coupling 25 yields, permitting the shaft 24 to rotate freely without rotation of the handwheel.

Patent GB-494189-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the manufacture and production of lubricating greases
Filed: 1937-06-24
Abstract: Grease for lubricating is made by mixing soap-like substances with fractions obtained by treating coal extracts with liquid aliphatic hydrocarbons with less than ten C atoms, which compared with the whole extract, are richer in H and have a lower m.p.  In an example, 100 parts of a coal extract from Oberröblinger brown coal is stirred in a finely powdered state for half an hour with 420 parts of liquefied propane at 25 DEG  C. in an autoclave provided with stirring means and filter bottoms.  The propane solution is separated from the undissolved portion and the propane distilled off.  A soft butter-like mass results which is mixed with half its amount of commercial soft soap to give a grease not inferior to the usual Stauffer grease.  If desired, the soft butter-like mass may be refined before mixing with the soap by countercurrent treatment with H at 200 atm. pressure and at a temperature of 370 DEG  C. in the presence of nickel sulphide and tungsten sulphide. Other examples mention gas benzine, petroleum ether or mixtures of these as extracting agents, and slaked lime, isobutylamine stearate, and the Na salt of butylated naphthalene sulphonic acid as the soap-like substance.

Abstract: 824,045. Winch drum layering safety devices. ANGLO AMERICAN CORPORATION OF SOUTH AFRICA Ltd. June 3, 1957 [Aug. 24, 1956], No. 17606/57. Class 78 (5). A safety device for ensuring even layering of cable on to and off a winch drum 10, has a contact member 14 which is displaceable in successive steps, as the layers are formed, by the action of solenoid 50 operating upon the plunger 18 of said member so that no layer normally touches the member 14. If, however, false layering occurs, then the cable touches contact member 14 and pivots it about 20 to close contacts 74, 76 and thus trip the winch motor. Solenoid 50 has three coils 30, 31, 32 which correspond with three layers of cable and are successively energized to cause contact member 14 to move rightwards by successive steps, the coils being operated by a cam disc driven from the winch drun. A second camdisc operates the coils when the winch drum rotates in the paying-out direction. Latch 58 ensures the retention of pivot 20 in the positions established by the coils. Specification 823,035, [Group XXIX], is referred to.
