Title: Improved method for the direct distillation and rectification of wines with the double effect of the heating steam
IPC: B01D3/00
Filed: 1934-12-05
Abstract: The process described in the parent Specification in which fermented liquors are directly distilled and rectified in a plant comprising distilling and purifying columns K, A, worked under vacuum and a rectifier C, C<1> operated under atmospheric pressure, the distilling column being heated by vapours from a tubular boiler D itself heated by the vapours from the rectifier, is modified by utilizing as the boiler liquid the water deprived of alcohol from the base of the rectifier.  The liquid rises up the pipe 23 since the boiler is under vacuum.  Pumps P<2>, P<1> withdraw the vapours and condensate respectively from the condenser N to the purifying column which latter is heated by condensed steam from the coil heater S of the <PICT:0453222/III/1> <PICT:0453222/III/2> rectifier.  According to a further modification, the purifying column is replaced by a column K<1>, Fig. 2, containing concentrating plates, arranged above the distilling column.  This results in a better elimination of head products from the latter, and since more steam is required in the column and therefore in the rectifier, an increased separation of tail products from the latter.  Some of the tail products are removed from the distilling column and collect in a receiver R<1>.  Instead of the cyclic method of working in which the must is first treated in the combined distilling and purifying column K--K<1> and then rectified in the column C--C<1>, in a further modification, the must is divided, one part being treated in the column K--K<1> and the other part in the rectifying column C--C<1>.  The necessary additional heat is supplied to the must before entering the rectifying column by three recuperators heated respectively by hot vinasse from the boiler D, the vinasse from the column C--C<1>, and a part of the steam supplied to the rectifying column.  The plant illustrated in Fig. 1 may also be modified for use with musts poor in alcohol, by the addition of a supplementary distilling column supplied separately with must and working at atmospheric pressure and also combined with the column K in double effect.

Abstract: 1,000,122. Forming sheet material. R. L. BUTZKO. Sept. 10, 1963, No. 35742/63. Heading B5A. In a sheet forming process a thermoplastic sheet is clamped around a forming mould against a blade, the sheet being partially severed during the forming operation and then completely severed subsequent to said operation. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 1 a sheet 27 is passed between a lower mould 22, carried by base 10, and a flat heating platen 14, pivoted at 12 to members 11 carried by the base, and counterbalanced to the open position by spring- biased levers 15. The platen is reciprocated by a pair of toggle mechanisms, each comprising links 42, 44 actuated by a lever 48 fixed to plates 47 joining the links 42. The platen is lowered by handle 48 until member 50, carried by plates 47, abuts the plunger 64 of a piston and cylinder mechanism 64 in which position sheet is forced against, and partially penetrated by a blade 61 surrounding the mould cavity 57. The sheet is first applied by pressure difference against the heated platen and then transferred to the mould cavity wall after which the plunger 64 is retracted and the platen further lowered to completely sever the finished article from the sheet. In an alternative embodiment (Fig. 9, not shown), the toggle mechanism is actuated by a piston and cylinder device. In a further embodiment (Fig. 10, not shown), the actuating handle carries a rotatable cam which abuts a fixed stop, the cam being eccentrically mounted so that rotation thereof in the blowing positions will allow the platen to descend further and thus completely sever the sheet.

Filed: 1936-12-31
Abstract: 487,947. Variable-speed gearing. PRYM, H., PRYM, R., and PRYM, A. Dec. 31, 1936, No. 35832. Convention date, Dec. 7. [Class 80 (ii)] Variable-speed friction gearing comprising a conical driving member 1 and a coacting driven member 4, which is carried by swinging arms 8 on the driven shaft 9 and drives the driven shaft through gearing 10, 11, is controlled by both the resistance to motion of the vehicle and a factor of the output of the engine, such as the speed. The resistance torque reacts upon the arms 8 to swing the driven friction member away from the axis of the driving member 1 to reduce the ratio of the drive, axial movement of the driven member 4 to provide for this swinging movement being allowed against fluid pressure acting on a piston 16. This fluid pressure is derived through a. conduit 19 from a pump 20 driven by the engine, so that the piston 16 and therefore the driven friction member 4 is subjected to an axial thrust proportional to engine speed tending to effect an increase in the gear-ratio. This latter effect is combined with the effect of the resistance torque to give a suitable gearratio according to the nature of the road conditions and the operation of the engine. An adjustable throttle valve 23 is placed in the return conduit 22 which can be manually adjusted to vary the fluid pressure acting on the piston 16, and therefore the gear-ratio, apart from the speed of the engine. The fluid pressure in the conduit 19 may also act upon a piston 24 to adjust the engine throttle 29 according to the load and speed variations, the usual pedal 30 also being provided for manual operation of the throttle. A reverse drive is obtained by shifting the driven member 4 so that the driving member 1 engages with the external friction surface 6.
