Patent GB-1172693-A (GB)
Title: A Process for Making Formcoke From Non-Caking Coals.
Inventor: GORIN EVERETT
IPC: C10B53/08
Filed: 1966-03-28
Abstract: 1,172,693. Making carbonaceous agglomerates. CONSOLIDATION COAL CO. 16 March, 1967 [28 March, 1966], No. 13571/66. Heading C5E. Agglomerates are made by tumbling in a rotary kiln at elevated temperature a carbonaceous material obtained from a coal feedstock, and a binder obtained from the feedstock, the binder being at least in part a non-distillable coal extract fraction obtained by solvent extraction. The process is applicable to weakly and non-caking coals, and the carbonaceous material is the solid residue separated from the coal extract and carbonized to form a char. After solvent recovery for recycling, the extract is mixed with pitch also obtained from the process, and delivered to the kiln independently of the char, the resulting agglomerates being subsequently calcined. Tar is recovered from the carbonizer, kiln, and calciner, and fractionated to produce the pitch and a distillate of B.R. 230‹ to 400‹ C. which is used as make-up solvent. If the coal is weakly caking, some may be delivered directly to the kiln, and some more may by-pass the extraction step and be passed directly to the carbonizer, (see Fig. 2, not shown). The rotary kiln may be the one described in Specification 1,120,995.

Abstract: 595,705. Making electric resistances. BAYLISS, H. E. June 4, 1945, Nos. 14011 and 14012. [Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv)] [Also in Group XXXVI] Coiling helices.-In a method of making resistances a wire having a resistance slightly below the required value has its ends connected to tags by soldering or welding and the whole is included in a measuring circuit, the wire being then stretched until the required value of resistance is indicated by the measuring device. The wire 10, Fig. 1, is secured to tags 11 of a former 12 and the tags are connected in a measuring circuit. Tension is applied to the wire at a point preferably midway between its ends by a pin 14 to stretch it until the circuit indicates the value of resistance required. This may be such as to allow for contraction of the wire on removal of the tension. The wire is then coiled on the former which is held in chucks 20, Fig. 3, rotated by gears 22. A pin 21 has a light tension applied and moves towards the former as the coil is wound, ensuring tight winding of the turns, and a screw or screws 31 driven by pinions 32 traverses pins 30 to ensure an even lay. When wound the end part of the coil is removed from pin 21 and secured to the former. The calibration may be effected on the winder and the wire may be partly wound and the unwound part only stretched. In a modification two resistances may be connected in parallel the second one being wound in the reverse electrical sense over the first, and in some cases only the second coil need be stretched for calibration. The wire may be connected to switch contacts such as those of a rotary switch each section being calibrated as described and the resistance of the switch contacts included. A current may be passed through the wire before, during, or after calibration or during stretching to anneal or age it. If preferred. the wire need not be wound on a former.
