Title: Improvements in or relating to simulated meat products
Inventor: PAGE JOHN ALMON
IPC: A23L11/00
Filed: 1965-07-05
Abstract: Imitation meat, including fish, fowl, shellfish, and prepared meats such as sausage and hamburger, are prepared by impregnating a fibrous protein material with an additive, orientating the fibres to obtain at least partial alignment thereof, and compressing the material so as to obtain a product resembling meat.  The protein may be soybean, corn, peanut, pea, or animal protein, for example casein.  The additive may comprise a colouring agent; a flavouring agent; a binder, such as a heat coagulable binder for example egg, fish, soy, or wheat albumen, or gelatin, starch, pectins, casein, and gums such as carboxymethyl cellulose or guar; animal, vegetable, or mineral oils and fats, and other ingredients such as skim milk solids, sugar, starch, monosodium glutamate, hydrolysed protein, spices, onion, salt, dried egg white, wheat gluten, garlic, and pepper.  The orientation and compression of the fibres may conveniently be effected simultaneously by passing them through an auger, which may be provided with a heating jacket when heat coagulable binders are included.  Desirably the auger may be such that the pathway of the fibres is of progressively decreasing cross-section, for example by reducing the pitch of the flights or by increasing the diameter of the core.  There is preferably associated with the outlet end of the auger means for forming the fibrous protein into a continuous tow having a predetermined cross-sectional shape, for example by providing an extension to the auger which contains at least one forming path, parallel to the axis of rotation, which is a continuation of the helical path.

Title: Improvements relating to the manufacture of laminated materials
Inventor: SAUL WALTER
IPC: B29C70/00
Filed: 1955-10-08
Abstract: 846,868. Laminates. SEMTEX Ltd. Oct. 5, 1956 [Oct. 8, 1955; Jan. 21, 1956], Nos. 28711/55 and 2098/56. Class 140. A laminate comprises a number of sheets of glass fibre reinforcement bonded together by a thermosetting or cold setting synthetic resin composition comprising a polyester resin composition or an epoxy resin composition, and at least one fibrous layer bonded thereto and carrying on its opposite side a layer of rubber composition or thermoplastic synthetic resin composition. The glass fibre reinforcement may be woven from yarns or rovings, mats of glass fibre strands, spun yarns, or rovings, or non- woven glass fibre fabrics as described in Specifification 771,833. The fibrous layer that carries a layer of rubber or thermoplastic synthetic resin may be unsized paper, cotton fabric, or a sheet of glass fibre reinforcement. The rubber or thermoplastic synthetic resin may be natural rubber, polythene, chlorosulphonated polythene, neoprene, butyl rubber, acrylate rubber, butadiene-acrylonitrile copolymer rubber, butadiene methyl isopropenyl ketone copolymer rubber, a high-styrene butadiene-styrene copolymer, or a polyvinyl chloride with little or no plasticizer. A preformed film of the rubber or thermoplastic synthetic resin may be hotpressed on to its fibrous support ; thus an extruded polythene film, or a combination of two extruded films combined with their extrusion directions crossed, may be hot-pressed on to a sheet of paper tissue. Alternatively, a material such as neoprene may be frictioned into the fibrous layer in a calender. The coated fibrous layer is then bonded to a glass fibre-synthetic resin laminate by a polyester or epoxy resin; thus a sheet of glass fibre cloth carrying a layer of neoprene or polythene is adhered by an epoxy resin adhesive to a laminate consisting of layers of glass fibre cloth united by means of a styrenated polyester resin. A layer of fibrous material coated with rubber or thermoplastic resin may be laid in a mould or on a mandrel with the rubber or resin next the mould, the reverse side of the fibrous layer is then coated with epoxy or polyester resin and applying in alternation untreated sheets of glass fibre reinforcement and an epoxy or polyester resin until the required thickness has been built up. The laminates may be used in contact with corrosive chemicals, or as radomes.

Abstract: 1,153,876. Sectional hot water boilers. J. F. BAIER. 28 June. 1966, No. 29056/66. Heading F4A. A cast iron sectional gas fired hot water boiler is formed from a plurality of superimposed rectangular horizontal water tube sections H, J, K, L which are linked together by bolts S and rest on a larger intermediate section D defining a combustion chamber T, and a supporting base A which carries parallel elongated gas burbers C. The sections are surmounted by a domed cover R. Each of the sections H, J, K, L comprises hollow external walls defining outer circumferential water containing chambers including side wall chambers P, N and front and rear wall chambers (not shown) which are linked by parallel triangular finned tubes M. Each section is formed with one wide side chamber N and an opposed narrow side chamber P so that when the sections are stacked one on top of the other, by turning alternate sections through 180‹, the finned tubes M present a staggered formation to gases exhausting over them from the combustion chamber T. Each section is supported from the next lower section by depending legs Q which fits in asbestos filled circumferential channels 53 to form a gas tight seal. The intermediate section D which is similarly supported on perforated side walls of the base section A also has a circumferential water containing chamber 28 and is provided at its top with parallel rectangular sectioned finned water tubes E extending from front to rear, and to absorb heat mainly by radiation. Water enters the chamber 28 of intermediate section D through an enlarged inlet box (31) at the rear of section D, and flows through the tubes E and the rear, side and front water containing chambers 28 of section D to the front, whence it passes upwards through an outlet connection (30) to the inlet of section H situated in the front chamber of that section. The water then continues to flow, laterally upwardly backwardly and forwardly through the sections on its way to a top outlet in section L. A plurality of these boilers arranged side by side may be used for larger installations.
