Title: Improvements in weighing apparatus fitted to vehicles
IPC: G01G19/10
Filed: 1928-01-18
Abstract: 301,670. Paz, M., Burgess, H. T., Boaz, J., E., and Buckleys (London), Ltd. Jan. 18, 1928. Apparatus fitted to vehicles; hydrostatic apparatus.-In a hydrostatic weighing-apparatus fitted to a vehicle, the load-carrying platform is raised from the chassis by forcing fluid into a number of pressure cylinders connected to an indicating and/or recording gauge device which comes into operation only when, the whole of the load is supported on the points of contact. The pressure cylinders B are rigidly fixed to the frame of the chassis A and fluid is supplied through a pipe H by means of a pump F. The piston of the first cylinder rises and pushes a superposed lifting piston B<2> into contact with the load-carrying platform (not shown) and raises it at this point. The piston then uncovers an outlet and the fluid passes along a pipe H' to the second cylinder and so on to the remaining cylinders when the platform is entirely raised from the chassis and the weight is indicated or recorded on a gauge device C. The fluid in the last cylinder communicates by a pipe K with a relief valve D provided with electric contacts and a bell E' to signal the completion of the lifting. After passing the valve D the fluid is returned to a tank M for re-use.

Abstract: 927,320. Orientating bearings. DETROIT ALUMINUM & BRASS CORPORATION. Jan. 16, 1961 [Feb. 15, 1960], No. 1743/61. Class 78 (1). Bearing shells are fed into hopper 10 in disordered arrangement and are delivered down shoot 42 in regular alignment. Thus the shells from hopper 10 are raised by the flanges of a drum 18 carried by shaft 20 supported in bearing 24 and fall on to shoot 32 which is formed V-shaped to assist in alignment. From shoot 32 the shells shown slide on to parallel rails 38 and 40. The rails are positioned so that their upper points are approximately spaced apart by the diametral dimension of the semicircular shell so that shells which are positioned U-shaped upwards slide down to the bottom of the rails and are discharged down shoot whilst shells not so oriented fall back into hopper 10. The orientating effect of the rails is enhanced by the mounting of the rails, the rails being supported at 44 and vibrated by vibrator 50. Additionally, two plates 54 and 60 are provided both reciprocated by piston apparatus 58 to push off any superposed shells, the plate 54 operating over the rails 38, 40 and the plate 60 operating over the shoot 32.

Title: Manufacture of cellulose butyric esters
IPC: C08B3/24
Filed: 1929-01-22
Abstract: 328,259. Ellis, G. B., (Soc. des Usines Chimiques Rhone-Poulenc). Jan. 22, 1929. Cellulose butyrales soluble in methyl alcohol are obtained by subjecting a cellulose tributyrate dissolved in a solvent containing water to the saponification action of this water, preferably in the presence of a saponification catalyst, until the desired degree of solubility in methyl alcohol is reached. The reaction may be stopped when the product is soluble in hot methyl alcohol but not at the ordinary temperature, or when it is soluble in methyl alcohol and in benzene at ordinary temperature, or when it is soluble in methyl alcohol at ordinary temperature but not in hot or cold benzene. Butyric acid, its homologues or their mixtures are suitable solvent media for carrying out the reaction, and methyl or ethyl alcohol may be added so as to maintain a homogeneous mixture with the added water. Catalysts used in the saponification of cellulose acetates may be used for this reaction, and in particular mineral acids, aromatic or aliphatic sulphonic acids, acid salts such as bisulphates, and zinc chloride give good results. The saponification may be performed on isolated cellulose butyrates or directly on the butyration mixture. If methane sulphonic acid is used at butyration catalyst, it may also serve as saponification catalyst or it may be neutralized and another catalyst added. The products are particularly suitable for making artificial silk, films, varnishes, or celluloid-like masses. In an example, cellulose butyrate is dissolved in dilute butyric acid; a mixture of acetic acid and sulphuric acid is added and the mixture is stirred for 18 hours at 45‹ C. The product is precipitated with water, washed and dried. It is soluble in methyl alcohol, benzene, acetone, and chloroform. In another example, cellulose tributyrate is dissolved in acetic acid; a mixture of diluted butyric and hydrochloric acids is added and the mixture is stirred for 16 hours at 50‹ C. After cooling, the product is precipitated with dilute alcohol. It is soluble in methyl alcohol, acetone, or benzene containing alcohol, but insoluble in benzene, ether and ligroin. In another example, cotton is treated with butyric acid, butyric anhydride and methane sulphonic acid, and saponification is carried out on the butyration mixture by adding dilute butyric acid and stirring for about 17 hours at about 50‹ C. The modified cellulose butyrate is precipitated with water, washed and dried. It is soluble in methyl alcohol, benzene, acetone, and chloroform, but insoluble in ether and ligroin. Specification 323,869 is referred to.
