[Also in Division D1] Woven or non-woven fibrous goods, e.g. polyester yarn, are dyed or finished with a solution of treating substance, e.g. a dye, which is sparingly soluble in the solvent by adding the substance and an insoluble filter powder to the solvent, feeding the suspension to a precoat filter to form a filtering layer of the substance and powder, and continuously recirculating the filtered solvent through the goods and filter layer. This layer may initially be built up by a recirculation which by-passes the goods-treatment chamber, which latter may be a drum, beam, jigger or reel dyeing device. The solvent may be heated. As shown, solid dyestuff and filter aid are added to hopper 12 and recirculated via filter 1 by pump 6. The filter comprises tabular elements 22 on which the layer is built up.

Title: Improvements relating to a method for the production of seamless extruded sheathings of electric cables, from metals of relatively high melting points
IPC: B21C23/28
Filed: 1934-07-18
Abstract: 439,257. Extruding metals and plastic substances. SIEMENS - SCHUCKERTWERKE AKT.-GES., Siemensstadt, Berlin. July 18, 1934, No. 21060. Convention date, July 18, 1933. [Class 83 (iv)] [See also Group V] A metal sheath 13 is extruded on a cable 3 in a press comprising an annular receiver 4 formed between fixed walls 1, 2, the material to be extruded being introduced in solid condition in the form of a number of bars together forming a tubular member filling the receiver 4. The extruded metal is aluminium, copper, or other metal of high melting point. The press plunger is operated by a hydraulic piston 7, the movement up to the extrusion operation preferably being effected mechanically. Either the hydraulic press 8 or the extrusion press 1 may be oscillatably mounted to facilitate the insertion of long billet sections. A protective shield 11 for the cable may be continued to join the cylinder 8. The core may be cooled, or divided by layers preventing the transmission of heat, and the outer wall 1 may be heated or the dissipation of heat therefrom prevented by heat-insulating material. To avoid oxidation, the material may be heated out of contact with air or in a neutral gas such as nitrogen, and may be cleaned as by caustic soda in the case of aluminium. A space may be left between the cable and the sheath for evacuation or for an insulating medium. The cable may be led over rollers into the extrusion press instead of passing axially through the hydraulic press 8. According to the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91, the invention is applicable to the extrusion of non-metallic materials such as artificial resins, and the material may be in the form of two half cylinders or of a longitudinally slotted hollow cylinder. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: Improvements in or relating to a process for producing an aleurone extract from cereal seeds
IPC: B01D11/02
Filed: 1955-07-20
Abstract: As animal feed there is used the product obtained on drying the residue in making a baking aid by a procedure which involves allowing a mixture of cereal seed perisperm, e.g., wheat or rice bran, to stand for a sufficient length of time, heating to inactivate enzymes, and separating off the liquid portion. Specification 640,526 is referred to.ALSO:Improved doughs, and improved bread, macaroni, spaghetti, &c from the doughs, are obtained by incorporation in the dough of a preparation of a substance formed from the aleurone cells of the perisperm of a cereal seed by allowing a mixture of the perisperm, e.g. wheat bran or rice chaff, and water to stand for a sufficient length of time, heating to inactivate enzymes, and then separating off the liquid portion.  In making the preparation, a 30-35 cm. thick layer of starch-free wheat bran with 4 parts of water is allowed to stand in the absence of light until it has risen 2-3 cm., the mixture is then heated to 70-80 DEG  C. and the liquid portion is decanted when it begins to darken in colour; this liquid is subjected to steam distillation, the required substance being present in the condensate; the steam distillation residue consists of a doughy protein- and fat-containing product, which may be used as a food, and a brown, carbohydrate-containing liquid, which may be fermented and then distilled to produce a whisky-like drink. Specification 640,526, [Group I], is referred to.

[Class 113 (i)] [See also Group XXIX] In apparatus for accelerating a mass, e.g. the carriage W, Fig. 1, of a ship-model testing tank, all elastic deformation and back lash between the driving motor E and the mass are first taken up by preloading the mass by gradually filling a hydraulic slip coupling K until a holding device F releases the mass. A flywheel M and change-speed gear G are provided, and the holding device may comprise a spring catch engaging a wedge-shaped tail piece on the carriage. If desired an additional hydraulic coupling may be interposed between the motor and flywheel. In a modification, oppositely rotating motors E<1>, E2, Fig. 2, are mounted on the carriage, acting through couplings K<1>, K<2>; when the carriage has been accelerated through the coupling K<1>, it may be braked by emptying K<1> and filling K<2>, the latter then acting as an eddy brake.

Each key member is in the form of a plug, Fig. 3, and carries contacts 14 for co-operating with the contacts 7, the contacts 14 being interconnected amongst themselves so that each key when inserted adapts the motor for operating upon a particular voltage &c. The contacts of the plug may be constituted by the upturned ends of a number of spiders threaded on a central boss. In a modification, an elongated key carrying contacts as wards is insertedin a keyhole and turned so that the contacts engage and suitably interconnect the fixed contacts which are associated with the motor windings and are disposed in a row.

Filed: 1926-08-28
Abstract: 278,149. Williamson, C. M., and Williamson, S. Aug. 28, 1926. Enlarging and reducing.-In cam-controlled automatic focusing apparatus the negative carriage and paper support are each provided with a cam, while the lens support has a cam follower that engages one cam during the enlarging range and the other during the reducing range. In the apparatus shown, the negative carriage 5 is one moving part, but the paper support may be made movable instead The lens support 3 carries a bell-crank lever 10 having rollers 11, 12 engaging cams 8, 9, the weight of the parts or springs being sufficient to maintain the followers against the cams if slot cams are not used. The followers bear against horizontal parts 13, 14 respectively of the cams during their idle, period. A single operating handle suffices to move both parts over the whole range, but only acts directly on the more rapidly moving part. The handle works preferably through worm gearing to wind cables 20, 21 on or off their respective drums 17, 18. When the handle is turned to bring the apparatus from the mid-position shown in Fig. 3 to an enlarging position, a counterweight 25 on the cord 20 remains in engagement with a counterweight 15 for the negative carriage, as the cord 20 is pulled, while a corresponding counterweight 26 on the cord 21 is lowered away from a lens support counterweight 16, the lens support being automatically moved by the cam 8. Similarly, when the cord 21 is pulled to bring the apparatus. to reducing position, the weight 25 is released by the unwinding of the cord 20, and is freed from the weight 15, and the. negative carriage is therefore free to move by engagement of the follower 12 with the cam 9.
