Title: Winding method and machine
IPC: B65H57/04
Filed: 1964-08-04
Abstract: In a process of producing cross-wound packages kinetic energy developed in the thread in the form of undulations resulting from sudden loss of thread tension is destroyed in advance of the thread traversing member which may be a grooved driving drum or a reciprocating guide.  In one embodiment an arcuate plate extends around part of a grooved driving drum, with the thread passing to the drum through a slot in the plate and the undulations being destroyed by the edges of the slot.  There is a threading opening in the plate for the slot.  The slotted plate may be replaced by a bent pin.  In a second embodiment the thread passes to the grooved driving drum around an arcuate plate adjacent an impact plate such that on thread breakage or exhaustion the thread end flies against the impact plate and loses its additional kinetic energy.  The two plates may be so positioned that a slot is formed therebetween and any residual kinetic energy is destroyed by the undulations contacting the edges of the slot.

Title: Aldehyde purification
IPC: C07C27/22
Filed: 1957-10-09
Abstract: Aldehydes, obtained by reacting an olefine with carbon monoxide and hydrogen in the presence of a carbonylation catalyst at elevated temperatures and pressures, are purified by freeing the aldehyde product from catalyst and recovering the aldehydes contaminated with alcohols not easily separated by distillation, fractionating the aldehydes in a fractionator under reduced pressure, whereby acetal formation is minimized, to remove higher or lower boiling contaminants, and subjecting the alcohol-contaminated aldehyde fraction, for a period of time sufficient to effect acetalization of the alcohols, either to fractionation in the presence of an acid catalyst or to heat treatment at a temperature of 150 DEG  to 450 DEG F. and subsequent fractionation to recover aldehydes.  The acid used as catalyst may be formed in situ by oxidizing a small amount of the aldehyde by blowing in air.  A diluent may be present during the acetalization.

Apparatus for carrying out the process comprises a hopper C, Fig. 7, provided with a rotatable vane F adapted to expel material through orifices in the front of the hopper when rotated clockwise and to cut off the extruded stream or streams when rotated in the opposite direction. The hopper is formed of iron with an outer surface of rubber. Each orifice 3, Fig. 1, is of bevelled formation to adapt it to make a tight joint with the end of a receiver A, the end reaching close to the inner surfaces of the hopper. The receivers are mounted in groups in headstocks H carried by a rotatable frame and the receivers are provided with plungers E carried by a common crosshead J. In operation, a headstock, with the plungers E at their inner limit in the receivers A is moved by screw mechanism up to the hopper C. As the receivers fill with material, the plungers are moved backwards against a constant frictional or other resistance until arrested by a stop the position of which determines the quantity of material in the receiver. The headstock frame now rotates a quarter of a turn to bring a second group of receivers to be filled and receptacles B, Fig. 3, are placed over the previously filled receivers. The receptacles are also supported externally by holder D. After a further quarter turn of the frame the receivers are withdrawn from the receptacles, the holders and plungers remaining stationary, and the filled receptacles are discharged after another quarter turn of the frame. The receptacle may be open at both ends.
