IPC: B01F3/04
Filed: 1955-09-14
Abstract: 793,569. Aerating beverages. MEYER LIQUID, Ltd., [formerly LIQUID CARBONIC CO., Ltd.]. June 26, 1956 [Sept. 14, 1955], No. 26277/55. Classse 14 (1) and 49. An automatically operated apparatus for the pasteurisation and carbonation of beverages comprises a means 12, 13, 24, for continuous pasteurization, means 34, 35 by which the partially cooled liquid is subjected to carbonation under pressure, a heat-exchanger 36 for cooling and chilling and a pressurized beverage accumulator tank 38. A controlled flow of a mixture of syrup or flavouring and water is supplied by a mixing device 1 as described in Specification 759,424, [Group II]. The water flow is regulated by a controlled orifice 3, the syrup by a magnetically controlled valve 5 and a pilot valve of the device 1 is operated by a pneumatic system 6-10. The mixture passes through a non-return valve 11 to a pasteurizing device that has heat-exchangers 12 and 13, which are of the known plate type and afford heat indirectly. A pump 15 passes hot water from a tank 14 through a steam injector 16 and a by-pass valve 17 to the high temperature exchanger 13 where it circulates in the same direction as the mixture. A thermostat 26 co-operates with the by-pass valve 17 to maintain a constant temperature in the mixture that emerges from the exchanger 13 into a holding tube 24. The mixture is maintained at the same temperature in the holding tube for a predetermined period, e.g. 15 seconds. The mixture then passes in the reverse direction back through the low-temperature heat exchanger 12 and out through a cooler 28, in which cold water circulates as regulated by a magneticallyoperated valve 30. On the far side of a non- return valve 33 is a carbonating and chilling apparatus similar to that described in Specification 770,312. The mixture undergoes preliminary carbonization in the pressurized tank 34, mainly for the purpose of releasing air, and it is then impelled by a pump 53 through a carbonating device 35 to a cooler 36. Carbon dioxide is supplied under pressure to the tank 34 and the carbonating device 35 through reducing valves 51 and 52 respectively. The cooler 36 is of the same type as the other heat-exchangers 12, 13 and 28. It is supplied with a cooling medium from a refrigerating plant 39-43 through a by-pass valve 44 which co-operates with a thermostat 46 for temperature control. A pipe 55 leading from the cooler 36 has two branches 56 and 57, one of which recirculates some of the mixture to the carbonating tank 34. The other branch 57 leads to the lower part of a beverage accumulator tank 38. A float 49 in the tank 34 co-operates with a water pump 2 in the main supply and a float 59 in the tank 38 with a reducing valve 37, so that the flow of the mixture and levels in the tanks are regulated at all times.

Abstract: 1,094,449. Friction clutches; change-speed gear control. FORD MOTOR CO. Ltd. June 14, 1966 [June 28, 1965], No. 26466/66. Addition to 1,018,539. Headings F2C and F2D. In the clutch 68 of the changespeed planetary gear of Specification 1,018,539, the sun gear shaft 48<SP>1</SP> is formed with a central bore 165, in which are received two concentric oil distributer tubes 166, 168, oil being passed via the annular space between the tubes and the ports 176, 178 to the inner cylinder chamber 118<SP>1</SP>, the tube 168 communicating, via port 180, with the servo of the forward clutch 40<SP>1</SP> (see Specification 1,018,539), so that, on engaging clutch 40<SP>1</SP>, together with clutch 68 for one ratio, pressure oil is fed via ports 186, 184, 190 and 200, into a valve bore 192 forcing the valve 194 to the right to seal bore 202 connecting the inner and outer chambers 118<SP>1</SP>, 116<SP>1</SP>. On releasing clutch 40<SP>1</SP>, and using the clutch 68 alone for another ratio, pres-  sure oil in the chamber 118<SP>1</SP> forces the valve 194 open, and flows into the outer chamber 116<SP>1</SP>. On release of pressure in chamber 116<SP>1</SP> a ball valve 206 is centrifugally  lifted from its seat 210 to prevent a cen-  trifugal pressure build-up in the residual oil  in the chamber. Thus the torque capacity of  the clutch 68 when engaged together with the clutch 40<SP>1</SP> to obtain one forward ratio is less than when it, 68, is engaged alone to provide a different ratio (e.g. reverse), and it is thus not necessary for the main regulator valve to provide pressure augmentation in reverse.

Sept. 24, 1931, No. 26688. Convention date, Sept. 25, 1930. [Class 106 (i).] Positive and negative impulses received at a central station from input and output meters at outlying points are differenced and the result, if of one sign, is registered on one counter and, if of the other sign, is registered in part on another counter and in part on a third counter. The invention is described in connection with a power supply system having three delivery points I, II, III each provided with input and output meters 12, 13 wired to actuating-mechanism for the sun wheels of differential gears 7, 8. The resulting positive and negative totals are differenced at 9 and the resultant impulses, if positive, pass to a counter 22 over a contact 21 closed by a friction arm on the shaft 20. If however the result of the subtraction is negative, the arm shifts to open 21 and close 23 to lead the impulses to the counter 24. This is dependent however on the impulses being below a standard limit. If they exceed this the gear 32 driven in one direction by the impulses from 23 and in the other by impulses from a standard meter 28 will close contact 33 and change over the contact 35u so that the standard impulses will be registered on counter 24 and the excess impulses derived from gear 32 on counter 25. The standard rate may be varied by clockcontrolled relays 37, 38, 39 serving to apply different voltages to the meter 28.
