Title: Sacrificial anode system for protecting metals in seawater
IPC: C23F13/02
Filed: 1950-06-13
Abstract: 672,110. Electrolytic protection of immersed structures. DOW CHEMICAL CO. June 13, 1950 [June 15, 1949], No. 14786/50. Class 41. [Also in Group XVIII] An electrical system for the protection of a structure immersed in sea water and formed of a corrodible metal no more anodic than zinc, comprises a first-current self-exciting source consisting of a rapidly-expandable quantity of magnesium metal submerged in the sea water near the structure and connected electrically thereto, the quantity of metal having a surface area of at least 0.5 sq. feet per lb. and such mass as to correspond to at least 0.12 lb per sq. foot of structure to be protected, and a secondcurrent source also connected to the structure and of magnitude sufficient to provide a current corresponding to at least 0.002 amps per sq. ft. of structure for a period of at least a year. Preferably the second-current source is a slowly expandable quantity of magnesium metal having a surface area of less than 0.1 sq. ft. per lb. and of such mass as to correspond to at least 0.036 lb. per sq. ft. of structure being protected. As shown, a vertical steel pile bulkhead 6 immersed in sea water 7 has lengths of magnesium ribbon 8 attached at the top along the bulkhead and hanging down into the water. Each ribbon has a central core of steel wire and forms the first-current source. The secorid-current source is provided by stringing on and welding several magnesium anodes 11 to electrically-conducting cables 13 which are swung from eyebolts 15 mounted on brackets 16 welded to the pile 6 at intervals along its length. Each anode has a steel core welded to the cable. Specification 540,487 and U.S.A. Specification 2,200,469 are referred to.

IPC: B21B13/00
Filed: 1966-04-04
Abstract: 1,177,063. Rolling. UNITED ENG. & FOUNDRY CO. 23 March, 1967 [4 April, 1966], No. 14892/66. Heading B3M. A combination horizontal-vertical rolling mill includes a housing 11, 12 within which a frame 15 carrying either vertical or horizontal rolls is located, a common motor 42 being selectively engageable with either a vertical or a horizontal driving system for the rolls. The vertical driving system includes a shaft 35, which is suitably inclined in order to leave the windows of the housing 11, 12 free for the insertion of a replacement frame 15<SP>1</SP>. The motor 42 is connected through clutches 39 and 54, Fig. 3, with either the shaft 35 and vertical couplings 25 and 26, or with a drive shaft 53 and a pair of horizontal couplings 51. The frame 15 carries screw-downs for the rolls, and has supporting wheels 20-23 which permit the frame to be exchanged when in either a horizontal or vertical position. The upper wheels (20 and 21, as shown) run on rails extending between the housings 11, 12, the rails being adjustable in order to move the frame and rolls vertically. To replace the rolls 16, 17, the frame is raised until the wheels 22, 23 are aligned with rails 18 and 17, the couplings 25, 26 first having been raised by piston-cylinder assemblies 27, 28. A cylinder 62 then simultaneously moves a replacement frame 15<SP>1</SP> into position and pushes the old frame on to the rails 19. The appropriate driving system is then coupled up, depending upon whether the replacement rolls are horizontal or vertical.

Abstract: 164,022. Drõger, A. B., (trading as Drõgerwerk, H. & B. Drager) June 2, 1920, [Convention date]. Blowpipe burners.-In a metal-cutting burner having a central cutting- oxygen jet and a concentric annular heating flame, a nozzle e formed with a cutting-oxygen passage i and heating- gas passage k screws into a burner head d formed with a central oxygen passage f and an eccentric heating - gas passage g. The heating- gas passes from the passages k into a chamber m formed between the nozzle e and a cap h on the nozzle e and issues at the annular opening between the cap h and the cutting-oxygen outlet l, which projects from the nozzle e. A gas-tight joint between the nozzle e and a raised flat surface d<1> on the head d may be made by means of pointed rings o, n. Alternatively, a single ring may be provided around the oxygen passage, the low-pressure heating-gas being prevented from escaping by means of a nut screwing on the external surface of the nozzle against a packing ring on the burner head. The cap and nozzle are interchangeable as a whole so as to avoid wear of the parts affecting the centring of the cutting- jet and heating flame. A projecting ledge p is provided on the nozzle outside the rings o, n to prevent damage to the rings when the nozzles are removed.

Title: Treatment of cellulose derivative yarns and fabrics containing them for the purpose of improving delustring and crepeing
IPC: D06M13/12
Filed: 1940-10-21
Abstract: 545,422. Treating artificial silk with liquids &c. BRITISH COTTON INDUSTRY RESEARCH ASSOCIATION, MARSDEN, R. J. B., and URQUART, A. R. Oct. 21, 1940, No. 15487. [Classes 2 (ii) and 15 (ii)] Yarns composed of cellulose acetate or similar organic derivative of cellulose, either in loose form or incorporated in a fabric which may contain other yarns, are treated with the vapour of a carbonyl compound such as acetone, acetaldehyde, acrolein, or crotonaldehyde, and then subjected to treatment with hot water or soap solution for the purpose of delustring, or, in the case of a fabric containing, in addition to the cellulose derivative yarns, crepe yarns not composed of such cellulose derivatives, for the purpose of releasing the creping action of the crepe yarns. When the treatment with a carbonyl compound is preliminary to a creping treatment of a fabric containing cellulose derivative yarns and crepe yarns not composed of cellulose derivatives, the carbonyl compound may, alternatively, be used in the form of a solution in a non-aqueous solvent. The hot aqueous soap solution may contain phenol or cyclohexanol for the purpose of delustring. In an example, fabric containing cellulose acetate warp yarns, and viscose crepe weft yarns is treated with crotonaldehyde vapour and then with boiling water containing a little soap. The resultant crepe is of a much bolder and rougher appearance. A lower twist in the crepe yarn may be employed to obtain a desired crepe than if the treatment with carbonyl compound is omitted. In another example, cellulose acetate satin is exposed to crotonaldehyde vapour for two hours and then treated with a hot aqueous delustring liquid. Soap solution at 90‹ C. may be employed.

The carriers have closing plates e at the back and the front which close the chamber when the carrier is in or out of the chamber. Moist air is circulated by spraying cold or warm water into a pipe communicating with a pipe l having discharge nozzles m and is drawn from the chamber by a pipe n. The direction of circulation may be reversed by spraying water in the opposite direction through a second set of sprayers. The rate of circulation is varied by varying the pressure under which the water is sprayed. The pressure in the moistening chamber may be varied by operating a valve p which admits fresh air into the circulating-system,
