Title: Process and apparatus for the manufacture of glass beads
IPC: C03B19/10
Filed: 1965-03-24
Abstract: <PICT:1066683/C1/1> A process for forming glass beads comprises feeding one or more streams of molten glass 29 into the path of rotor arms 12 while the rotor is rotating at a high speed so that the or each stream is divided into portions of molten glass which flow along and are flung off the arms 12 by centrifugal force, and wherein the molten glass solidifies in the form of beads while following its trajectory or trajectories from the rotor.  In a preferred embodiment streams of molten glass 29 are fed from an annular chamber 1 into the path of arms 12 of a rotor.  The rotor hub 11 is water-cooled and is enclosed by members 34, 35, the arms 12 extending through a slot 33 into an annular chamber 9.  The divided portions of glass are flung off the arms 12 as drops 31 which solidify and collect as small glass beads, e.g. "ballotine" in an outer annular connecting chamber 26. Supplementary heat may be applied to the chamber 9 by means of a gas burner.  The rotor arms may extend from a disc portion of greater diameter than the hub but which may or may not extend into the chamber 9.  If the disc does extend into the chamber 9 holes are punched in the disc to reduce heat conduction to the hub. Alternatively, the arms may be arranged in more than one bank and can be welded or threaded to the hub (see Figs. 4 to 7, not shown).  The arms 12 may be in the form of wires or blades made from heat-resistant steel, nickel, molybdenum or tungsten.  It is also possible for the arms to be attached to a disc the outer periphery of which extends beyond the arms.

The dressing may be sprayed on the seeds, e.g., seeds fluidized in air, in the form of an aqueous suspension, emulsion or solution containing between 0,05 and 1,0 per cent by weight of the complex salt.  An emulsion may be obtained by diluting with water a solution of the complex salt in an organic liquid or mixture of liquids e.g., carbon tetrachloride, ethylene dichloride, ethane tetrachloride, alkylated naphthalene, naphtha, castor oil and hydrocarbon oils, containing a surface-active agent. Seeds may be dressed with a powder comprising kaolin or bentonite and about 0,3 per cent by weight of the complex salt.ALSO:A composition for controlling viruses in plants and seeds comprises a heavy metal salt complex of a nitroso hydroxy aryl compound having a nitroso group attached to the aryl nucleus (preferably benzene or naphthalene) in the ortho position to a hydroxyl group, a surface-active agent, or a pulverulent solid carrier or a surface-active agent and a pulverulent solid or liquid carrier.

Abstract: 1,128,004. Microwave heating. PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd. 24 March, 1966 [27 March, 1965], No. 13051/66. Heading H5H. In order to achieve uniform heating of sheet material passing through a slotted waveguide, the wavelength of the high-frequency energy is continuously varied by mechanical means. The apparatus comprises a serpentine waveguide 3 slotted throughout its length in such a manner that a sheet of material 11 may pass through successive sections of the waveguide in a direction parallel to the electric vector of the wave. The halves 8, 9 of the waveguide defined by the slot 7 are mechanically independent except in the reg ons of the input and output couplings 4, 5. They are oscillated relatively to each other in a direction at right-angles to the electric vector by means of a cam-and-follower arrangement 15 to 20, the waveguide being sufficiently flexible to allow this. In a modification (Fig. 4, not shown), the sections of waveguide are provided with elongated members (22) of conductive or dielectric material arranged one on either side of the sheet (11) and continuously movable towards and away from the sheet. The dimensions of the waveguide are such that the change of wavelength with mechanical displacement is as large as possible. The displacement may be sinusoidal and the mechanical system may be resonant. The bends between the straight sections of the serpentine waveguide are preferably one halfwavelength long. In the embodiment described, the channels forming the waveguide halves are closed by protective sheets (10) of dielectric material. The output end of the guide is connected to an absorptive load 6.
