Title: Improvements in apparatus for decorating bottles and like articles
IPC: B05B12/20
Filed: 1937-06-14
Abstract: 489,804. Stencilling-apparatus. OWENS-ILLINOIS GLASS CO. June 14, 1937, No. 16488. Convention date, June 18, 1936. [Class 100 (ii)] Apparatus for decorating bottles and like articles comprises an endless conveyer for conveying the articles from a receiving station to a decorating station and means situated between the two stations and co-operating with the conveyer for rotating the articles about their axes and causing corresponding selected peripheral areas of the articles to be presented for decoration at the decorating station. An endless conveyer 15 conveys a number of bottle-carriers 17 from a receiving position C to a stencilling position D where the bottles are rolled beneath a metal screen through which colour is applied by squeegees 24 carried by an endless chain 26 moving in an horizontal plane. Each carrier 17 is supported by pivot pins 33 each having a plain roller 34 at one end and a roller 35 with a circumferential rib 36 at the other end ; the rollers 34 engage a ramp 37, and the rollers 35 engage a similar ramp but formed with a groove whereby the bottles are raised into contact with the stencil and are registered longitudinally. Each bottle is held between a rotatable chuck 42 mounted on a slide 41 pressed inwardly by a spring 47, and a pad 51 carried by a shaft 52 rotatable in a bearing 53. A detent 55 engages a projection on the margin of the base of the bottle which is registered so that the designs are printed in a definite angular position with respect to the projection by means of a Geneva pinion 60 which is fixed to the shaft 52 and carries a spring-pressed ball 62 adapted to engage depressions in the face of the bearing 53. The bottle is placed between the members 42, 51 and is turned so that the projection interlocks with the detent. On forward movement, the pinion 60 engages a rack 66 whereby the bottle is rotated through 90‹, a guide 70 then engages a flat side of the pinion 60 to ensure that the bottle is in correct angular register, and a rack 74 rotates the bottle through 180‹ in contact with the stencil. The bottle is removed at E, and the pinion is restored to initial angular position by a rack 75. Where successive impressions are to be angularly spaced through 90‹ on the bottles, the rack 66 is replaced for the second impression by a rack providing 180‹ rotation ; the rack 75 is then unnecessary and is lowered out of action. Where 120‹ spacing is required, the bottles are printed in a machine having. racks 66, 74 and 75 each providing 120‹ rotation and then in a machine with a rack 66 corresponding to 240‹, a rack 74 of 120‹, and no rack 75.

Title: An improved process for the catalytic cracking of hydrocarbon oils
IPC: C10G11/18
Filed: 1943-10-14
Abstract: <PICT:0587476/III/1> In catalytic cracking processes of the type in which the catalyst is recycled between a reaction chamber and a regenerator where the catalyst is raised to such a temperature that on admixture with the hydrocarbon oil the latter is heated to the required cracking temperature, the coke forming characteristics of the crude oil to be cracked are adjusted so that the amount of carbonaceous deposit formed on the catalyst gives the correct amount of heat to the catalyst when this is being regenerated, e.g., where a clean feed oil is utilised this is mixed with a heavy residual aromatic residue.  On the other hand where the feed stock used is a residual stock forming excessive coke deposits, the oil is extracted with solvents removing aromatic constituents.  A cracking plant comprising reactor 25, regenerator 46, catalyst separators 28, 48, a tower 31 for fractionating the cracked products and recovering gasoline is described and the feed oil fed through line 10 may be subjected to distillation in coil 12 to recover gasoline in tower 15, condenser 17 and separator 19.  The topped oil is passed through line 23 to line 24 where its coke forming characteristics are adjusted by addition of recycle oil or other oil fed through line 41 the mixture being mixed with regenerated catalyst from standpipe 26 and fed to reactor 25.  The Specification states that the amount of carbonaceous deposits in pounds necessary to heat a pound of catalyst from cracking temperature to regeneration temperature is equal to <FORM:0587476/III/1> where S is specific heat of catalyst, Td is temperature difference, H is heat of combustion of deposit and Y is heat not available for heating catalysts, e.g., heat losses due to radiation &c.

Classes 92(1) and 92(2) A device for operating the trigger of a gun comprises a hand grip pivoting about a horizontal axis on the gun mounting, the said axis being situated between the grip and a support for the forearm of the gunner, the arrangement being such that it is possible for the gunner to operate the grip by a mere turning of the hand with the wrist as a fulcrum. As shown, the gun consists of a tripod 1, cradle mounting 2, cradle 4, seat 3, sight arm 7, and sight 9. The trigger grip 11 swings about a pivot 12 in the arm 7 and is acted on by a spring 15 which helps to swing it to its two extreme positions.. The grip includes the grip member proper 11a, adjacent which is a slide 16 which can be moved by the thumb to a position where it projects behind a shoulder 21 on the arm 7, thus preventing the grip from moving to the firing position. A rod 13 and other members provide the transmission mechanism between the grip and the trigger. By the above arrangement, the gunner can actuate the trigger mechanism by a movement of the wrist alone, and is thereby able to move with his forearm another lever 22 movable around the pin 12. This lever, by an arm 25 and rod assembly 26 can be used to lock the gun in any trained position, to actuate means which change the speed of the aiming gear, or to actuate a device in a gyroscopically controlled sight for adjusting an index mark which is made to correspond to the size of the target.
