[Also in Division B2] A device for stripping and separating tobacco comprises a casing 7 open to the air at its bottom end and connected to a cyclone 8 at its top end for creating an upward air stream through the casing, a vertical conduit 3 for introducing leaves at the top of the casing and at least two superposed beaters 5, 6 mounted at the bottom of the casing and having co-axial rotors and stators which are also co-axial with the conduit 3. Leaves are fed from a conveyer 1 through a rotary distributor 2 to the conduit 3. They are then directed into a conically shaped hopper 4 and fed to the upper beater 5, comprising stator bars 14 and rotary teeth carried by a vertical axis 11 driven by a motor 23. Usable leaf portions are carried upwardly by the air stream to a duct 20 whilst stem portions and leaf portions with stem adhereing fall into the second beater and stripper 6 which is of larger diameter and smaller height than the beater 5. The beater 6 has stator bars 16 and rotary teeth 17 also mounted on the shaft 11. The teeth 17 are longer and more numerous than those on the upper beater 5. Unusable stem portions are discharged by blades 12, also mounted on the shaft 11, and further usable leaf portions are carried up to the duct 20, heavy or incompletely stripped portions falling back into the hopper 4 for further treatment. The usable portions are discharged by a rotary distributer 9 on to a conveyer 21. A skirt 31 is shaped to cause a substantially progressive increase in the cross-section of the annular air space 18 surrounding the beaters 5 and 6. A variable speed impeller 30, driven by a motor 27, is rotatably mounted about the conduit 3 to assist in the recycling process. In modifications the impeller may be replaced by holes formed in the conduit 3 through which air is blown (Fig. 3, not shown) or by a perforated jacket surrounding the conduit 3 to which air is supplied (Fig. 4, not shown). Rotating bars may be provided around and outside the stator bars 14 of the upper beater 5 (Fig. 2, not shown) and more than two beater units may be used one above the other, the beaters being progressively of less height and larger diameter from the upper beater to the lowest beater (Fig. 3, not shown).

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture of woven textile fabrics
IPC: D06M15/17
Filed: 1935-01-22
Abstract: A process for the treatment of woven textile fabrics made from artificial silk, the threads of which are liable to slip, i.e. loosely woven material having a broad setting of warp and woof, with the object of preventing such slipping, comprises the application to the said fabrics of the probably ester or amide like condensation products of carboxylic or sulphonic acids containing hydroxy and/or amino groups with resin or wax acids, or of water-soluble salts of said condensation products, e.g. with alkali, ammonia or a suitable organic base such as trithanolamine. Suitable carboxylic and sulphonic acids for the condensation are glycocoll, alanine, sarcosine, glycollic acid, b -hydroxy propionic acid, aminoethane sulphonic acid, methylaminoethane sulphonic acid, hydroxyethane sulphonic acid, sulphanilic acid. Mixtures of such acids may be obtained by hydrolizing protein material.  Suitable resin or wax acids are montanic acid, abietic acid, or the mixture of resin acids which may be isolated from colophony.  In the latter case, the condensation product preferably contains some non-reacted high molecular resin acids. The condensation is effected by means of reactive derivatives, e.g. halogenides.  The treatment overcomes slipping of the tissue and imparts a soft feel.  The baths may contain in addition phthalic acid derivatives, starch, glue, mucilages, polymerized alcohols, artificial resins, fats, oils, soaps, alcohol sulphonates, condensation products of alkylene oxides with high molecular aliphatic alcohols, amines or acid amides, or condensation products of fatty acids with amino carboxylic or sulphonic acids or with alkylol amines.  In an example, 10 kgs. of a slipping artificial silk tissue are treated in 100 litres of an aqueous bath containing 1,5 kgs. of the reaction product of colophonic acid chloride and the sodium salt of sarcosine at 45 DEG C. for 20 minutes, then centrifuged and dried.  200 Grams of the methyl ester of phthalic acid may be added to the bath.  In other examples, the reaction product of colophonic acid chloride and the sodium salt of methylaminoethane sulphonic acid; a mixture of the product of colophonic acid chloride and glycocoll, and that of montanic acid and the sodium salt of sarcosine; the reaction product of colophonic acid and hydrolyzed glue or leather; the reaction product of colophonic acid and sarcosine together with the sodium salt of oleylmethyltaurine or of sulphonated stearyl alcohol; a mixture of the reaction product of colophonic acid chloride and sodium sarconine with the magnesium and triethanolamine salts of oleylsarcosine; and a mixture of the reaction product of colophonic acid chloride and sodium sarconine, to which acetic acid has been added, with the acetic acid salt of the triethanolamine mono palmityl ester are employed. Specification 390,166 is referred to.

Filed: 1975-01-17
Abstract: 1458333 Overhead current collectors W DOZLER 17 Jan 1975 [23 Jan 1974] 2151/75 Heading B7L  A current collector 2 is held in its inoperative position by a spring-loaded latch 11 slidable in a piston 6. The current collector is retracted by a piston-and-cylinder arrangement 1 connected to a high pressure line 4 through a throttle valve 3 permitting unrestricted flow to the cylinder 1 but restricting flow in the reverse sense. The piston 6 moves in a cylinder 7 connected across the throttle valve. To move the current collector to its operative position high pressure fluid is supplied on line 4 to ensure that cylinder 1 is fully pressurized and then the pressure removed abruptly from the line. This creates a pressure difference across the throttle valve to move the piston 6 to the left and release the latch. The current collector rises slowly as the pressure in cylinder 1 leaks away through the throttle valve.
