Filed: 1965-04-23
Abstract: <PICT:1069661/C6-C7/1> Coating material is anodically deposited from an aqueous bath, having dispersed therein a synthetic resin which is produced by reacting an organic polymer having a plurality of hydroxyl groups with trimellitic anhydride, by immersing a first electrode in the bath while it is in electrical connection with a second electrode which is apart from the first, and passing a direct current through the bath.  In the drawing a tank 11 contains the bath 13 and acts as the negative electrode; the article to be coated 19 is suspended from conveyer 35 by hangers 21 and 23 insulated at 25 and 27; the article 19 is in electrical connection over sliding members 29 and 31 with bus-bar 33 and serves as the positive electrode.ALSO:An organic polymer having a plurality of hydroxyl groups is reacted with trimellitie anhydride, i.e. the 1,2-anhydride of 1,2,4-benzene tricarboxylic acid.  The polymer may be a copolymer of styrene and allyl alcohol, may have a molecular weight of above 1000 and have 2-10 hydroxyl groups/molecule.  The reaction may be carried out at over 330 DEG  F. and sufficient anhydride used, e.g. at least 2 mol./ mol. resin, to provide at least one carboxyl group/600 units of molecular weight in the polymer.  The reaction may also be carried out in xylene in the presence of soya fatty acids, tall oil fatty acids or linseed fatty acids, or the polymer may be reacted first with these acids and then with the anhydride: the reacted polymer may be blended with one of the foregoing fatty acids. The reacted polymer may be dispersed in water containing ammonia or triisopropanolamine, or may be made into a paint by mixing with methyl ethyl ketone pine oil, polyethylene glycol red iron oxide, basic lead chromate coated silicate and/or china clay.

The closet comprises a bowl with an internal conical surface of two different decreasing radii, a well portion 12, a water-supply channel 22, Fig. 2, and upflow passage 15. Water from the channel 22 enters a rim channel 30, and thence a channel 35a, rim jets 28, and two channels 32, Fig. 4, arranged down the sides of the upflow passage and terminating in retroverted jets 32b at the bottom of the outflow channel and directed upwardly. From one of the channels 32 a branch leads to a vortex jet 33 arranged below the normal liquid level of the closet, and which may be directed downwardly. The rim channel 30 is provided with a downward extension 35b. When the flush commences, and while the extension 35b is filling up, water flows first from the jet 33, and then from the jets 32b. The water in the passage 15 thus starts to move, and the matter in the bowl is sucked into the passage 15, and is further impelled as the flow from the jet 35 commences. When the extension 35b is full, water flows from the jets 28, which are so inclined as to assist the vortical movement in the bowl. The extension 35b retains sufficient water to restore the seal when the flush is over. The area of the mouth 12b of the well 12 is less than the cross-sectional area of any point of the passage 15, to prevent clogging. The lowest portion 12a of the well is arranged within the mouth of the passage.
