Title: A device for recording the core lengths of flames
Inventor: SCHEFFLER PETER
IPC: G01N25/50
Filed: 1963-09-12
Abstract: 993,447. Gas burners. J. DESSAU VEB. Sept. 12, 1963, No. 35990/63. Heading F4T. A device for the continuous recording of the height of the primary combustion cone of the flame of a gas burner 17 comprises a probe tube 18 supplied with air and having a discharge nozzle 20 located in the top of the combustion cone, the throttling effect of the discharge nozzle varying with its temperature to vary the pressure of the air in the probe tube 18 and in a bell 15 disposed in liquid in a container 14 and supporting the burner 17. Pressure air is supplied through a blow-off pressure regulator 4 and a valve 22 to the probe tube 18 and to the bell. When the burner is lit the nozzle of the probe tube is heated and throttles the air so that the pressure in the bell increases and raises the burner 17. The penetration of the nozzle into the flame is thus reduced and consequently the throttling is decreased. If the combustible gas supplied to the burner is varied the position of the bell will change. The position of the bell is recorded by a pivoted pointer 26 and also by a device comprising a valve 28 mounted on a lever 27 and adapted to throttle an air outlet from a spring bellows 36 supplied with pressure air. The pressure in the bellows is recorded by a recorder 34 and can be used to operate pressure regulators. The gas pressure to the burner is maintained constant by a diaphragm regulator 3. The air and gas are mixed in a mixer 10. The flows of gas and air are measured by oblique tube manometers 9 appertaining to measuring devices 7, 8, which can be by-passed by threeway cocks 6. The pressures of air and gas entering the mixing chamber are measured by oblique manometers 9A.

Filed: 1938-12-14
Abstract: 525,259. Treating textile fibres. BRANDWOOD, J. Dec. 14, 1938, No. 36396. [Class 15 (ii )] A process for the production of a soft and lustrous textile yarn from discontinuous fibres, without the usual spinning operation, consists in mounting a wound textile slubbing or roving in a fluid pressure apparatus, forcing therethrough, by differential pressure, a solution of one or more acids, which will have upon the fibre mass a felting or increased frictional resistance effect, clearing by air pressure the fluid remaining between the fibres, and drying. Specified acids are tartaric, lactic, citric, acetic, formic, sulphurous, sulphuric and hydrochloric acids, and a solution of ¢-1 per cent. strength is generally used. When the produced yarn is to be dyed, the above treatment and the dyeing may be carried out simultaneously, by adding the acid solution to the dye, or the acid solution may be added to a washwater employed after dyeing. Specification 482,817 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to removal of fission products from nuclear reactors
Inventor: CHILTON HARRY
IPC: G21C19/31
Filed: 1956-11-30
Abstract: 821,289. Nuclear reactors. PARSONS & CO. Ltd., C. A. Nov. 27, 1957 [Nov. 30, 1956], No. 36782/56. Class 39(4). A method of removing gaseous fission products from liquid nuclear fuel comprises establishing a restricted flow of the fuel adjacent a free surface thereof such that the fuel boils in consequence of the restricted flow and gaseous fission products are releaxed at the free surface. The apparatus shown in the Figure comprises a refractory tube 1 of low neutron cross-section supported concentrically within an outer tubularcasing 10 which projects upwardly from the core vessel of a liquid metal fuelled reactor. The tube 1 is provided with  a renewable liner 6 and a thick tubular insert 7, both of which may be of graphite, and extends upwardly within the casing 10 to provide a free surface 12 within a header attached to the casing 10. Liquid fuel passes up the pipe 1 sufficiently slowly to ensure that fission causes boiling, and after reaching the free surface the fuel returns down the outside of the pipe 1 to the reactor. The header may be maintained at a high vacuum, in which case some liquid metal vapour will be carried over and removed together with gaseous fission products through a pipe 13, the liquid metal being separated in a subsequent process. Alternatively the header may be maintained, for example, at atmospheric pressure, and a condenser (not shown) is associated with the header vessel to condense and return to the free surface of the large volume of liquid metal vapour which would otherwise be carried over.

Title: A new or improved stereotype matrix drying machine
IPC: B41D1/00
Filed: 1934-12-22
Abstract: 449,191. Stereotype. HOE & CO., Ltd., R., and LOUGEE, F. G., 109, Borough Road, London. Dec. 22, 1934, No. 36831. [Class 100 (ii)] A machine for drying stereotype matrices comprises two relatively-movable members adapted to receive a matrix between them and to be moved against a bias into operative position, the members forming between them a chamber adapted to be evacuated to draw off the vapours evolved and to maintain the members in operative position until the pump operation is discontinued, when the parts will return automatically to inoperative position for removal of the matrix. The two members 1, 2 are of U-shape in cross-section, the member 1 being secured to a frame 5, and the member 2 being reciprocable into and out of the member 1. Each member is recessed to receive electric heating-elements and plates 9, 14 which are grooved longitudinally, the plate 9 being covered by a perforated plate against which the matrix to be dried is held, and the plate 14 being covered by an imperforate plate of metal or asbestos. The concave part of the member 2 is closed by a plate 6, and a closed chamber is formed by the parts 1, 2, 6, plates 20, 23 secured to the part 1, and plate 21 secured to the part 2. This chamber is connected to a vacuum pump 25 driven by a motor 26. The part 2 is raised to operative position by means of a lever 31 secured to a shaft 30 carrying cams 29 engaging rollers on the part 2, the cams being preferably provided with concentric parts so that there is no tendency for the weight of the part 2 to cause it to descend when the cams are in lifting- position. The weight of the part 2 may be partly counterbalanced by springs. The lever 31 may be arranged to operate a switch for throwing the motor into operation. This causes a vacuum to be produced, and, when this is sufficient to hold the part 2 in raised position, the lever 31 is moved to normal position ; this return movement may be effected automatically. The motor drives a shaft 60 carrying a cage 59 provided with a spindle 54 on which gear-wheels 53, 55 with different numbers of teeth are secured, the gear-wheel 55 engaging a fixed gear-wheel 56, and the gear-wheel 53 actuating a gear-wheel 52 on a shaft 44 in which is slidably but non- rotatably mounted a shaft 43. The shaft 43 carries gear-wheels 41, 42 of different sizes adapted to be slid into position to engage with gear-wheels 39, 40 respectively on a sleeve in which is slidably and non-rotatably mounted a shaft carrying three cams 33-35, any one of which can be positioned to actuate a switch 49<1> to disconnect the motor. The slidable shafts are provided with knobs 49, 50 respectively co-operating with graduations to indicate the timing resulting from the various positions. The downward movement of the part 2 is controlled by a dashpot 65, and the fluid ejected therefrom on the downward movement is utilized to rock a lever 66 to eject the dried matrix. Temperature and pressure indications may be provided.
