Title: Method of cleaning storage and transport tanks, especially ship's tanks, from oil, fat, wax and the like
IPC: B08B3/08
Filed: 1957-08-12
Abstract: 807,609. Cleaning tanks. UDDEHOLMS A. B. Aug. 12, 1957 [Aug. 10, 1956], No. 25382/57. Class 138(1). A method of cleaning an oil tank internally is characterized by blowing steam into a solvent, the vapour of which is heavier than air, introducing the mixture of steam and solvent vapour into the tank adjacent its bottom in an amount which is greater per unit of time than the amount condensing on the walls of the tank, withdrawing the condensate formed from the tank and discharging, at the top of the tank, air and non-condensed vapour contained therein. As shown, a combination of solvent vapour and steam pass through pipe 3 into the tank 4. The vapour forms a clearly defined interface with the air which is expelled through pipe 5 and any vapour attempting to escape is returned by condenser 6. A mixture of oil, sludge, water and solvent pass through pump 7, through water trap 8 and the solvent with some dissolved oil returns into vessel 1. The returned contaminated solvent is purified by redistillation from the vessel 1, the impurities remaining as a sludge on the bottom of the vessel 1 and being tapped off from time to time through draining member 11. Solvent remaining in the tank 4 after cleaning may be driven out by steam, the solvent if desired being recovered from the vapour leaving the tank, or it may be removed by the injection of cold water so as to cause it to condense and the condensate removed. In a modification, steam is introduced into the tank before the steam-solvent mixture in order to heat it up and drive out the air.

Patent GB-1112611-A (GB)
Title: Process and apparatus for laterally stretching travelling films
IPC: B29C55/16
Filed: 1965-06-17
Abstract: 1,112,611. Lateral stretching of plastic films. M. WATANABE. 17 June, 1965 [31 Aug., 1964; 1 March, 1965 (3)], No. 25605/65. Heading B5B. Plastic films are hydraulically stretched laterally while moving longitudinally through a liquid bath by creating liquid currents in the vicinity of the film surfaces moving outwards towards the side edges of the film. Viscose film may be laterally stretched in this way in the coagulating and regenerating bath or other material may be stretched, e.g. in a warm water bath. The hydraulic lateral stretching may be combined with mechanical lateral stretching by passing the film over a bowed bar and longitudinal stretching may be reduced by inducing longitudinal liquid flow in the direction of travel of the film in the vicinity of the film surfaces. In Fig. 1 viscose is extruded from hopper 9 into regenerating bath 2 and passes through several hydraulic stretching devices P, Q, R before emerging from the bath. Each device consists of a pair of units each embracing a side portion of the film and consisting of a pair of plates 20, 21 or other members defining a narrow space through which the film 11 passes. Liquid is drawn through the spaces M, N between the plates 20, 21 and the film towards the edge of the film into suction bore 17 and hence out of the bath to which it is returned, after conditioning, through pipe 3. Liquid flow is controlled and the position of the film in the flow space stabilized by grooves 22, 23 on the inner surfaces of the plates 20, 21 and by holes through these plates through which liquid flows on to the film as well as from the peripheral regions of the plates. The units may be adjustable sideways of the film to accommodate films of different widths, Figs. 7 and 10 (not shown), and the space between the plates may be increased in the immediate vicinity of the edges of the film or alternative means employed to prevent slight variations in film width from affecting the magnitude of the stretching force generated, Figs. 23-25 (not shown). Pairs of units may be joined by plates with a relatively wide spacing between which longitudinal liquid flow is induced by gravity or suction in the direction of travel of the web to reduce the longitudinal stretching caused by viscous drag, Figs. 20-22 (not shown). The stretching units may be curved, as at R. With sharp curves it is necessary to feed liquid under pressure to the space within the stretching unit next to the concave face of the film, Fig. 10 (not shown). Between a pair of units R the film may pass round a bowed bar, Fig. 19 (not shown), to provide some mechanical lateral stretch. Liquid level of the bath 2 is maintained constant by a weir 5.

Title: A new or improved torque indicating wrench
Inventor: SHARMAN JOHN CHARLES
IPC: B25B23/142
Filed: 1955-09-09
Abstract: 795,932. Torque indicating wrenches. GARRINGTONS, Ltd. Dec. 10, 1956 [Sept. 9, 1955], No. 25807/55. Class 61. A torque indicating wrench has a work engaging means 13 on an arm 21 which protrudes longitudinally from a housing 11 to which it is rigidly connected by resilient means 24-29 until a predetermined torque is reached; when the predetermined torque is reached the rigid connection between the arm and the housing is broken and an indicator member 15 on the housing is moved to a warning position. The means 13 forms part of a ratchet head which can be engaged from either side so that the work may be tightened or unscrewed. The indicator 15 is in the form of a lever with side pieces 16 and is pivoted at 17, or of a disc as in Fig. 4 (not shown). Short diagonal slots 18, Fig. 2 (not shown), sloping towards the pivot 17, are cut in the side pieces 16 and overlap slightly longer horizontal slots 14 which are cut in the sides of the housing 11. A pin 19 passes through the arm 21 and protrudes through the slots 14 and 18 on both sides. A roller 22 on the inner end of the arm 21 engages in a recess 23 on a pawl 24 which is also pivoted at 17. A disc spring assembly 27 urges the pawl 27 into engagement with the roller 23 so that, normally, the arm 21 and the housing 11 move rigidly together. When the torque at the work engaging means 13 exceeds a predetermined value the pressure of the pawl on the roller due to the spring is overcome. The arm 21 can then move laterally in the housing so that the pin 19 causes the indicator 15 to hinge outwards, emitting an audible click. The limiting tension at which this occurs may be adjusted by turning a handle 34 which co-operates with a screwed plug 32 and a sleeve 30 to alter the compression on the spring 27. The adjusted setting may be locked by rotating a cap 37 on a screw 35 which engages axially with the plug 32 which has longitudinal slots that permit it to expand. A torque indicating scale may be provided in conjunction with the cap 37.

Title: Improvements in flash lamps
IPC: F21K5/08
Filed: 1947-09-24
Abstract: 630,658. Flash lamps. O'DELL, A. E. (Corporacion de Ventas de Salitre y Yodo de Chile). Sept. 24, 1947, No. 25944. [Class 9 (ii)] An electrically ignited flash lamp filled with oxygen at sub-atmospheric pressure and containing a charge emitting on combustion actinic radiation is safeguarded against shattering, due to leakage, by providing a substance in the bulb that on leakage renders the charge substantially non-inflammable. In the example given the bulb is filled with dry oxygen at 400 mm. Hg pressure and aluminium foil or wire is used as illuminant. A small rod of compressed iodine powder is placed in the lamp. If leakage occurs the moisture in the entering air is said to be sufficient to cause the iodine to react on the surface of the aluminium forming aluminium iodide, thereby inhibiting ignition. It is stated that coloured lamps should be coated on the outside as the iodine might react with the colouring matter and so change the colour. Phosphoric anhydride is stated to be less reliable than iodine as a reagent.
