Patent GB-186634-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the production of food products
IPC: A23L7/10
Filed: 1922-10-02
Abstract: A product that may be eaten by itself or used as an ingredient in bread or cereal foods, infants' foods, &c., confectionery, or ice-creams is made from products such as "rice polishings" or other milling refuse containing cereal germs, such as wheat or maize germs. The germs, with which ground roasted peanuts may be mixed, are free from oil by a solvent, such as benzol or carbon tetrachloride, the oil being used for making soap or otherwise. The germs are then cooked to gelatinize the starch, which is saccharified by means of an infusion of malt.  They are then treated with digestive ferments, such as papain, trypsin, pancreatin and pepsin, acid being added if necessary.  The action is stopped by boiling and the resulting liquid filtered and concentrated or evaporated to dryness.  Alfalfa may be added to the germs.  Either the treatment with malt or that with digestive ferments may be omitted, the latter being sometimes preferable when the product is to be used for bread.  The starch may be hydrolyzed by acids instead of malt, when the treatment with digestive ferments precedes the hydrolysis.  The germs may be extracted with water or alcohol without preliminary treatment, or after extraction of oil only, and the extract concentrated.

[Also in Division F4] An air-conditioning system for passengercarrying self-propelled vehicles includes a motorized fan 15 controlled by a rheostat 25 having a printed-circuit resistive layer 27 of labyrinthine configuration provided with contacts (Fig. 2, not shown) arranged to be traversed by one or more cursors 24, the contacts comprising a first contact connected to the electrical circuit having the highest resistance and one or more other contacts connected respectively to electrical circuits having lower resistances, and a control system for displacing the cursor relative to the resistive layer, the cursor also operating in conjunction with a dead branch 31 of the resistive layer which branch forms an idle contact preceding the first contact. The resistive layer may be cupro-nickel formed on an aluminium-backed insulating sheet. The control system comprises a lever 19 which also controls a shutter 14 in the air-duct 10 in which the fan is mounted. The contacts may be of greater widths than other parts of the circuit (Figs. 3 and 6, not shown). The cursor may be displaced over the printed circuit or vice versa (Fig. 5, not shown). The printed circuit may be formed on a part of the shutter to promote cooling (Fig. 4, not shown). To prevent sparking, a transitional contact (47) (Fig. 7, not shown) may be interposed between the dead branch and first contact and connected to the first contact through a resistance (48) which may be substantially the same as the resistance of the circuit and motor when the cursor is on the second contact. A locking device (Figs. 8- 10, not shown) is incorporated to prevent the cursor dwelling on the transitional contact.

Title: Improvements in and relating to thermoplastic films

Filed: 1964-07-06
Abstract: 1,106,994. Tubular films. BAKELITE XYLONITE Ltd. 5 July, 1965 [6 July. 1964], No. 27715/64. Heading B5B. In apparatus for extruding a tube of thermoplastic material comprising an extrusion die, means for supplying an inflation pressure, and means for hauling off the tube after inflation while maintaining an inflation pressure within the tube, there are provided means associated with the die for preventing an inflation pressure from rupturing the extruding tube, and a pair of nip rolls for drawing off the tube from the die lips, constructed so that they flatten the tube across only a part of its width so that two opposed portions of the tube are brought into contact with one another in the nip, without forming crease marks in the tube. The ruptureprevention means may be an external solid support, or pressure equalization means, or may be a flexible seal inserted into the tube before the inflation zone and impassible by inflating gas. The extruded tube may be quenched prior to its passage through the nip rolls by passing it through a quenching lath and/or circulating quenching fluid e.g. water or air, through the interior of the tube. To prevent the tube from collapsing as it leaves the die lips, gas may be introduced into the tube between the die lips and a former. In one such embodiment (Figs. 1-3, not shown) tube (6) is extruded from die (1), passed over former (16) below the level of quench bath (2), over seal (19) and through the nip formed between portions (24) of rollers (23). The tube then passed through annular heater (4) inflated at (27) and flattened between rollers (5). Air is passed through tube (14) into channel (13) to create a pressure in space (25) to prevent collapse of the tube as it leaves the die lips. Water, to quench the tube internally is passed into space (26) through tube (11) and removed via tubes (10) and (15). Inflating air, injected through tube (12) below seal (19) carries the seal flange (23) to distort radially and thus seal against the walls of tube (6). In further embodiments, seals which may be increased in efficiency after start-up of the apparatus, comprise an inflatable hollow rubber disc (30) or a flange (23) which may be distorted by manual rotation of a washer (21) (Figs. 4 and 5, not shown). The nip rolls (3) may be of different forms (Figs. 8 and 9, not shown) provided that the nip is less than half the circumference of the tubular film. In apparatus wherein the film is withdrawn upwardly from the surface of the quenching bath (2) (Fig. 6, not shown), a second pair of nip rolls, (3a) similar to rolls (3) are located above the surface of the quench bath (2) and a series of guide rolls (33) may be provided to reduce the curvature of the path followed by the tube (Fig. 7, not shown).
