Title: Recovery and towing vehicle
IPC: B60P3/12
Filed: 1988-11-23
Abstract: A recovery and towing vehicle which has been specifically designed for transport in a freighter aircraft and must necessarily therefore be of low profile to fit within the cargo space of an air-transport vehicle comprising a main chassis (1) on which is mounted a cab (3) with a removable upper part (5) and a slewing crane (7) having an extendable boom (11), a winch (10) and spades (23) mounted in slideways (29). The vehicle also is provided with a traditional supported lift towing boom (25) but instead of being mounted for pivoting movement on the ohassis (1), the boom (25) is mounted for generally vertical sliding movement. For this purpose, slideways (29) are provided on the inside of housing (31) for the spades and vertical movement of the boom (25) is under the control of the main crane boom (11) which can be connected to the boom (25) by means of a lift strop (41). By providing for the boom (25) to be movable vertically in slideways rather than being pivotally mounted on the chassis, a low profile chassis can be provided and the vertical dimensions of the vehicle can be kept compact.The slideways (29) may be straight or arcuate, arcuate slideways having the advantage of providing increased lift. Such increased lift can also be achieved by inserting a spacer wedge (61) between an anvil (55) at the base of the mast (27) and an abutment surface (59) on the folding boom (33).

Title: Detergent composition
IPC: C11D3/12
Filed: 1983-06-17
Abstract: Type A, especially type 4A zeolites are well adapted as detergent builders, said zeolites comprising (i) primary particles having a mean particle diameter ranging from 0.1 to 10 mu , (ii) a cation exchange capacity in excess of about 100 mg CaCO3/g of anhydrous material, and (iii) a rate constant, relative to the surface area of the zeolite per liter of wash solution, in excess of about 0.15 s-1 lm-2. The builders are prepared by first determining the value of the rate constant for a given zeolite sample. Since a higher rate constant value corresponds to a lower degree of salt incrustation on fabrics, only those zeolites having a value above the predetermined minimum will be incorporated into detergents. Thus, zeolites otherwise appearing identical can be differentiated, with only those not causing high levels of incrustation being selected.
