Abstract: 343,115. Cellulose pulp. CORN. STALK PRODUCTS CO., Inc., 10, East 40th Street, New York, U.S.A.-(Assignees of Darling, E. R. ; P.O. Box 88, Danville, Illinois, U.S.A.) Oct. 15, 1929, No. 31320. Convention date, Dec. 13, 1928. [Class 96.] Cellulose is obtained from plants of annual growth, such as cornstalks, by softening the comminuted and washed material with a solution containing 1 per cent of sodium hydroxide and 0À1 per cent of sodium sulphite heated to a temperature corresponding to a steam pressure of ten pounds above atmospheric pressure, and pumping the material with the softening solution to a digester wherein it is circulated by a pump, the digestion starting at a pressure of ten pounds above atmospheric which is raised during the period of digestion to a maximum of thirty pounds. Bales of the material are treated in a bale-breaker 2, a wash tank 3, wherein it is agitated mechanically and washed by a counterflow of water, a shredder 4, wherein the fibre i, reduced to lengths of, usually, from a quarter to half an inch, and a second washer 5 before treatment in the softening tank 6. The material is transferred from the softening tank by a centrifugal or rctary pump 7 to the digester 8 wherein it is circulated by a pump 9, which draws from the lower conical portion thereof and discharges to the top through a steam-jacketed pipe 10, whereby the plant material is subjected to attrition, the combined circulating and boiling enabling subsequent beating to be dispensed with. The digestion operation is of about two hours duration, and the material is discharged into a tank of such capacity as to hold the material from several digesters and is subsequently filtered, preferably by a rotary filter 15, wherein the solids are removed from the rotary surface by a doctor and transferred by a spiral conveyor to a wash tank 16 and thence to filters 17, 17a and to the store tank 20. The stock may be immediately converted into a low grade paper or may be bleached and hydrated for any suitable purpose. The wash water from the filters 15, 17 is returned to a storage tank 18 and, after testing and regulation of its strength, is used in the softening tank 6. After being returned five times it is passed to recovery apparatus 19 for the recovery of pentosans and other material.

Filed: 1933-11-11
Abstract: 425,496. Automatic - feed weighers. HODGSON, C. G., and MILLARS' MACHINERY CO., Ltd., Pinner's Hall, Great Winchester Street, London. Nov. 11, 1933, No. 31506. [Class 143] An apparatus for delivering sand, stone, liquid, &c. in batches comprises a pivotally mounted two-compartment batcher, means adapted, upon the batcher tilting to discharge position, automatically to cut off the supply of material to the batcher, and manually operable means for controlling the discharge of the loaded compartment and the simultaneous opening of the supply to the empty compartment. As shown, the material in a storage bin 3 passes to the upper compartment 12 of the batcher which is mounted on a pivot 14 so as to rock when the requisite quantity of material has been supplied, the empty compartment 13 being thus brought beneath the supply opening. During the rocking movement a trip arm fixed to the side wall of the compartment engages a trip lever 20 and liberates a catch 9 allowing two inter-geared feed gates 5 to close under spring action. Spring buffers 35 cushion the movements of the batcher. The material is discharged from the loaded compartment by means of a hand-lever 26 coupled by intermediate linkage to a release lever 27. On pulling back the hand-lever to the position 26<a>, the release lever 27 displaces a catch 16 and allows the discharge door 15 to open. Upon the return rocking movement of the batcher a roller 30 closes the discharge door. The movement of the hand-lever also re-opens the feed gates 5 by means of a slotted link 32, and the material is then supplied to the empty compartment 13. Each compartment carries a jocket weight 17 adjustable radially of the pivot 14 for the purpose of determining the amount of the batch to be delivered.

Abstract: 953,513. Fuel charging. E. KLUSS. Aug. 16, 1962 [Aug. 21, 1961], No. 31517/62. Heading F4F. A filling container 11 adapted to receive liquefied gas from a gas bottle and to discharge the gas into a lighter fuel reservoir comprises a check valve 14 and a resilient annular seal 20 arranged on a reduced section 15d of the valve neck 15a and protruding beyond the end of the neck, the cross-section of the seal 20 being larger in axial than in radial direction. The check valve screwed on to a neck 11a of the container 11 comprises a housing 15 containing a valve plate 17 urged against a sealing ring 18 by a coil spring 16 which encircles a tubular stop-pin 19. An actuating pin 17a integral with the plate 17 passes with clearance through a duet 15b in the valve neck 15a. The gas bottle, Fig. 1 (not shown), is provided with a similar check valve having the same neck diameter but without the stop pin and with a higher stiffness coil spring. The neck may be provided with a socket to receive the reduced section 15d of the valve 14. The fuel reservoir of the lighter is provided with a check valve, Figs. 3, 4 (not shown), similar to that of the filling container 11 but may not have an actuating pin. If the coil spring stiffness is greater than that of the filling container check valve spring 16, the reservoir check valve stop pin which is perforated is unnecessary. The lighter filling valve may be combined with the lighter burner nozzle whence the nozzle actuates the pin 17a which is arranged so as not to extend beyond the end face of the neck 15a of the check valve 14.
