Title: Improvements in and relating to the treatment of oil-containing vegetable materials prior to the extraction of the oil therefrom
IPC: C11B1/04
Filed: 1920-03-31
Abstract: Seeds, fruits, soya beans, or other oil-containing vegetable materials are treated with dry steam at 1 1/3 -3 atmospheres pressure for 1/2 -2 hours, and then for at least an hour with hot air or indifferent gases before extraction of the oil as by pressure.  The press cakes may be used as human food, or, after roasting as a coffee substitute.  The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) states also that the steam may be replaced entirely or in part by air, nitrogen, or other indifferent gas, and the treatment may be under reduced pressure.  This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 550,848. Coating with metals. MULLARD RADIO VALVE CO., Ltd., HOORN, A. J. VAN., and THURMER, G. July 24, 1941, No. 9414. [Class 82(ii)] [Also in Groups XL, XI and XXVIII] A device for vaporizing metals for the production of thin layers of the metals by condensation or for gettering in evacuated apparatus, consists of a core of high melting point material adapted to be heated electrically and provided with a helical channel in which the metal to be vaporized is placed. The core may be a wire of high melting point, e.g. tungsten, and the channel formed integrally therewith or by an open wound simple or multiple helix of the same or insulating material. The metal to be vaporized may be wound in the channel in the form of wire or mixed with a binder in the form of a paste. Where two or more metals, e.g. zirconium and tantalum, are to be vaporized simultaneosuly, the multiple helix wound with wires of the separate metals and a further wire of a metal such as tungsten as a support may be used. Alternatively, the core wires and the wires of the metal to be vaporized are wound together in the form of a stranded cable. When applied to gettering, the core and the vaporizable metal are mounted in the vacuum space which it then sealed, and the core is heated by induction.

Abstract: 493,428. Rolling. TUBE REDUCING CORPORATION. March 28, 1938, No. 9491. Convention date, March 31, 1937. [Class 83 (iv)] The feed spindle M of a pilger mill with reciprocated rolls F carries a gear-wheel nut 3 which is continuously rotated and so during the roll-working stroke moves to the left, being free to do so by the cam 5 moving thrust lever 11 to the left, but when the pause in the working stroke takes place, the cam 5 has moved round to allow the lever 11 to be thrust by the spring 9 or compressed air &c. to the right, thus moving the nut 3 and the spindle M also to the right, so imparting an increment of feed to the work. The increment of feed may be varied by varying the speed of the regulatable motor 12 which drives the nut 3 through gearing 22, 21, 18, 19, 17, 13, 14 to the nut 3, but if a fixed increment is desired, the nut 3 may be driven from the roll driving motor. Alternatively, a Ward-Leonard coupling may be used for the motor 3 and the mill motor. To enable the feed device to be rapidly returned to its initial position on completion of rolling hand-operated clutches 16 and 15 are used by means of which the gear 14 may be directly coupled with the motor 12, during which motion the nut 3 abuts against the stop 23. Rubber cushioning discs and thrust bearings may be used for each side of the nut 3, Fig. 4 (not shown), to abut against.

Title: Improvements in or relating to cardboard sheet material
Inventor: BRENNAN STEPHEN
IPC: B65D65/42
Filed: 1963-03-11
Abstract: A cardboard sheet material comprises a plurality of united elements. Each element has been treated to impart wet strength, and at least one has been further treated with a wax emulsion. The wet strength may be imparted by adding a wet-strength medium, e.g. a ureaformaldehyde or melamine-formaldehyde resin, to the pulp or pulps from which each element is made.  The wax emulsion may also be added to at least one of the pulps, or it may be applied as a coating to one or more surfaces of the elements after they have been united.  A double-faced corrugated board may be made from liners produced on a multiply board machine, urea-formaldehyde resin being added to the pulp for each ply, and wax emulsion being applied at the calender stack or wet press. The fluting is also made from a pulp containing urea-formaldehyde resin, and is corrugated and then stuck between two liners, using a urea-formaldehyde-reinforced starch or adhesive, and arranging the liners with their waxed surfaces outwards.  Solid boards may be made similarly on a multiply machine, with the outer surface of each outside ply coated with wax emulsion, and using the same adhesive.  Oher adhesives referred to are polyvinyl acetate and cresol-formaldehyde resin.ALSO:A cardboard sheet material comprises a plurality of united elements.

Title: Improvements in ironing machines

Abstract: 672,910. Ironing-machines. KAHN, L.,M. July 10, 1950 [April 9; 1949], No. 9707/49. Class 138 (ii). The roll of an ironing machine together with its driving motor and co-operating shoe, can be swung laterally from a normal position (Fig. 3), to a position (Fig. 2) in which the end of the roll is adjacent the operator. In the construction shown in Figs. 2, 3 the roll 19 is mounted on a base 18 which is pivotally connected at 35 with a table 15. An arm 37 integral with the pivot 35 carries a ball-bearing member 38 which engages with the under surface of the table, which may be formed with an arcuate guide track therefor. The shoe 20 is carried by an operating arm 23 which is pivotally mounted on the base 18 at 25 and is movable by the action of a control arm 26; The latter has an operating handle 28 which is also rotatable in order to operate a switch in the circuit of the roll driving motor 22. If the motor 22 extends below the table 15 as shown in Fig. 1, a slot (not shown) may be formed in the table to provide for the rotation between the positions of Figs. 1 (not shown), and 2. In the construction shown in Fig. 9A, the pivot 35 is disposed in a slot 74 formed in the table 15. On rotation of the table the pivot travels from one end of the slot to the other. This has the result that whether the edge or side of the base 18 faces the operator, the edge or side lies colinear with the side of the table. A recess 71 is provided to accommodate the movement of parts of the machine which extend beneath the plane of the base 18. In a modification (Figs. 8-8B, not shown), the slot 74 is straight, and disposed parallel with the side of the table, and the recess 71 is replaced by a segment-shaped hole in the table surface. In a further modification, Figs. 7-7B (not shown), the slot 74 is straight and is disposed perpendicularly to the side of the table, and an arcuate slot is provided in the surface of the table to replace and fulfil the function of the recess 71. In this construction the base has to be given a rearward linear movement after it has been rotated through 90 degrees. A steadying plate 76 carries rollers 77 which bear on the underside of the table 15. As applied to a portable form of machine, Fig. 6 (not shown), the table top 15 is replaced by a base-plate, the machine being adapted to be placed on any suitably sized table.
