Abstract: 950,335. Mixing appliances. SOC. D'ETUDES D'EXPLOITATION CHIMIE ET MECANIQUE E.C.E.M.-MOULINEX. May 29, 1961 [June 3, 1960 ; Aug. 5, 1960], No. 19249/61. Heading B1C. A food and beverage mixing and comminuting machine has a shaft revolving in a housing 1 which has a lower portion forming an inverted toroidal deflector comprising four sectors helically arranged to leave between them elongated passages 11. Four radial baffles 2a closely surround the impeller and co-operate with it in comminuting the material; two of the baffles are provided with extensions 9 forming feet. The leading edges of the impeller blades are radial and bent downwards in an inclined semi-angle A of 70 degrees and the blades twisted to form the same angle with the vertical, Fig. 3 (not shown). In operation the impeller is rotated to urge the material upwardly so that part is expelled through the slots 11 in a direction opposite to that of the rotation of the impeller whereby, in co-operation with the radial baffles, rotation of the body of material is prevented. In a modification, Fig. 9, the impeller 3 is retained by a cap nut 13 on the threads 14 of the shaft M and is surmounted by a cup 12 having an upwardly directed cutting edge 12a ; flats on the shaft prevent rotation thereon of the impeller and cup.

An alternator 1 is compound-excited through rotating-field transformers 3, 4 whose mutual angular position can be adjusted to accommodate the phase angle of the load current and to modify the degree of compounding. The field winding 2 of the alternator is excited, through a rectifier 6, from a single-phase secondary winding 5 common to the two transformers 3, 4, as shown in Fig. 3. The primary windings 3, 4 of the transformers are connected in series with and across the load lines respectively as shown in Fig. 1. The phase position is corrected for power factor by angular displacement of the outer or inner core of one of the transformers, separate secondary windings connected in series being used if the secondary cores are relatively displaced. In the form shown in Fig. 3, slip-rings are dispensed with by making the rectifier and transformer secondary rotate with the alternator rotor 2. An exciter may be included in the circuit.

Sprinklers, automatic.-In a dry-pipe valve of the differential type, the valve 25 is carried by an arm 30 pivoted at 32 and connected by a pivoted link 37 to a counterweight 35, which normally bears against a rest-frame 40 rigidly carried by the arm 30, and is adapted, after the valve 25 has opened slightly, to fall and cause the link 37 to strike a lug 33 on the arm 30, thus accelerating the opening of the valve. A gravity pawl 50 adapted to engage teeth 41 on the rest-frame 40 prevents the valve closing after it has partly opened. The counterweight 35 is reset to normal position by means of a pull-rod 70. The valve 25 is provided with a shoulder 26 engaging the water seat 6 and with a flexible valvular ring 27 of rubber &c. at the edge engaging a recessed seat 7 to prevent escape of the compressed air. The valve 25 is journaled in the arm 30 in such a way as to have a certain amount of free axial movement; and undue rocking is prevented by means of the downwardly-curved end of the arm 30 together with a correspondingly-curved concentric rib 17 on the underside of the arm. A drip-outlet valve. 82 is normally held open by means of a weighted lever 81 engaged by the valve 25 when closed, and is adapted to close by gravity as soon as the valve 25 begins to open.

Filed: 1957-06-26
Abstract: A textile or unspun textile fibre may be treated with an aqueous emulsion of a textile oil in which silica is dispersed in the oil phase, preferably by means of an oil-soluble dispersing agent.  The emulsion is preferably obtained by dispersion in water of the silica/textile oil dispersions described in the parent Specification; an emulsifying agent may be employed in addition to the dispersing agent normally present in these dispersions, a specified emulsifying agent being polyethylene glycol monolaurate. Textiles and methods of treatment mentioned in the parent Specification may be used.ALSO:Aqueous emulsions of a textile oil in which silica is colloidally dispersed in the oil phase, preferably by means of an oil-soluble dispersing agent, are suitable for treating textiles (see Group IV(c)).  The emulsion is preferably obtained from the silica/oil dispersions described in parent Specification which may be dispersed in water by mechanical agitation e.g. by ultrasonic vibration alone, though it is preferred to use an emulsifying agent in addition to the dispersing agent normally present in these dispersions.  If the dispersing agent only is employed, one having a higher proportion of hydrophilic groups (e.g. polyethylene glycol groups) is preferred.  Suitable emulsifying agents are preferably non-ionic, e.g. monolaurates of polyethylene glycols.  The emulsifying agent in an amount from 2-10% of the oil may be added to the dispersion before emulsification or may be added, together with the dispersion, to the water.
