IPC: C11D19/00
Abstract: 129,649. Barbet et Fils et Cie, E. July 11, 1918, [Convention date]. Glycerine, distilling.-In separating glycerine from the residual liquors from the distillation of alcohol, the liquors, after filtration and concentration in multiple-effect apparatus, are given a final concentration in an evaporator A connected through a froth-receiving vessel A' with a barometric condenser D. The concentrated liquor flows by pipe a<1> into a columnar still B in which each plate and the lower section are heated by superheated steam in coils v<1>, and the outside walls are either constructed of non-conducting materials or are formed with jackets for passage of superheated steam. The vapours pass to a condenser C, from which condensed glycerine flows through a separator c and barometric pipe n to a vessel N, and steam &c. pass into the barometric condenser D. The residue from the still B passes down a steam-jacketed pipe H, into a heated trough K, and is discharged into cooled gutters m in which it solidifies.

IPC: B27M3/10
Filed: 1917-09-15
Abstract: 128,995. Oddy, W. D. Sept. 15, 1917. Shaping by cutting.-In machines for shaping wooden articles, such as aircraft propellers, and of the kind wherein a feeler 7 traversing a pattern 9 transmits its movements to a rotating cutter 8, the pattern and the blank 10 to be shaped are simultaneously rocked, during the reciprocations of the feeler and the cutter, so that a desired angle, preferably a right-angle, is maintained between the cutter and the feeler and the parts of the surfaces of the blank and the pattern with which they are in contact. The cutter and the feeler are carried by a head 6 mounted on a carriage 5 which is reciprocated on guides 3, 4 by a rack and a pinion through automatic reversing- gear and worm gearing 30, 31 actuated by an electric motor 24 mounted on the head 6. At each reversal of the carriage, a screw 43 mounted in it is actuated by a star-wheel 44 and a stop 46 to feed the head 6 transversely on the carriage to cause the feeler and the cutter to traverse a fresh line on the pattern and the blank, which are secured in cradles mounted on trunnions 13, 16. During each travel of the carriage, a longitudinal shaft 47 is rocked and, through linkage 48, 50, 51, 52, 53, rocks the pattern and the blank for the above-stated purpose. To rock the shaft 47, an inclined longitudinal cam-bar 54 is adjusted to suit the pitch of the propeller, and it is embraced by a telescopic fork 56 which is keyed at its opposite end to the shaft 47 and is caused to traverse the machine with the carriage 5 and thus rock the shaft. One trunnion of the holder for the blank 10 is arranged as a circular segment 19 through which the part of the blank not being operated upon can project. The cutter 8 is mounted on a vertical spindle 28, to which the vertical movements of the feeler 7 are imparted by levers 68, 72 adjustably connected together by a right and left handed screw 70.

Abstract: 734,979. Folding chairs. BLACKBURN & GENERAL AIRCRAFT, Ltd., and BRUMBY, H. April 29, 1954 [May 15, 1953], No. 13715/53. Class 52 (2). A collapsible passenger chair for aircraft comprises a pair of substantially triangular light alloy girder members 1, secured at their apices to the floor, which are spaced apart by a transverse channel section member 5 at their upper ends. A pair of struts 22 pivoted to members 1 support them at an angle. A brace member 6 extends diagonally between members 1. Triangular sub-girders 7 are pivoted at 9 to parts 10 which are bolted at 11, 12 to the main girders 1. The girders 7 carry a back supporting tubular frame 13 holding a light alloy dished metal plate 14 faced with detachable fabric-covered sponge rubber 15. A seat comprising a tubular frame 17 holding a light alloy metal dished plate 18 faced with fabriccovered sponge rubber 19 pivots at 16 on the girders 1 and is supported by toggle struts 20 connected from the side members to the apices of the girders 1. Parts 25 connected to the sub-girders 7, slide in slots 26 in girders 1 and are latched in alternative positions by a bolt 27 which is controlled in its movement by a lever 36 through a spring, cable, lever mechanism 28-34 (Fig. 4). A spring connected between the girders 1 and the side members of the supporting frame aids in reaching the upright position, but resists the reclining position. A light alloy arm-rest 38, socketed to receive the arm of a detachable table and apertured for an ashtray, is pivoted to the part 10. Arm-rest 38 is upholstered with fabric covered sponge rubber. The seat may be folded flat by breaking the toggle strut 20, collapsing the struts 22 and swinging up the arm-rests. If a bank or two is to be formed, respective parts 10 are bolted together and a wider arm-rest replaces the two individual ones.

Title: Non-loading metal-backed abrader and method for its production
IPC: B24D7/00
Filed: 1960-04-20
Abstract: A metal-backed abrader, e.g. a sanding disc, shaper, file and the like for use on painted or varnished surfaces, resinous wood, plastics and other synthetic surfaces, has a superposed coating consisting essentially of fluoroethylene polymer the coating being at least 0.1 mil in thickness.  The coating is stated to reduce or eliminate "loading" of the abrader.  The abrader may comprise abrasive particles (e.g of tungsten carbide) bonded (e.g. by copper-brazing) to a metal backing (e.g. of steel).  Alternatively the abrader may have abrasive points formed on the metal backing by punching, milling or etching.  Before coating, the metal backing is freed from grease and rust by vapour or liquid solvent degreasing, alkaline treatment, phosphating or formic acid immersion.  The coating is applied by spraying, dipping, rollling &c. and is preferably 0.2 to 0.4 mil.  The term fluoroethylene polymer refers to polymers of fluorine-substituted ethylene monomers, including tetrafluoroethylene and trifluorochloroethylene.  A dispersion, e.g. aqueous, consisting substantially entirely of the fluoroethylene polymer may be used. Alternatively a dispersion of the polymer with a second resin of heat-stable or thermosetting character, e.g. phenolformaldehyde, may be used, the fluoroethylene polymer being at least 50% and preferably more than 65% of the surface solids.  A mixture may be used as a primer coating.  Curing is effected by heating.

Filed: 1951-06-11
Abstract: Polyacyloxysiloxanes are made by reacting a poly-alkoxy and/or acyloxy-siloxane with a saturated aliphatic carboxylic acid containing up to 6 carbon atoms or the anhydride thereof.  The preferred polysiloxanes contain (a) structural units of the formula <FORM:0708073/IV(a)/1> or <FORM:0708073/IV(a)/2> wherein R, R1, R11 and R111 are the same or different alkyl or aryl radicals, or (b) methoxy or ethoxy groups or methyl or ethyl and alkoxy and/or aryloxy groups.  In the example, polyethoxymethylsiloxane is heated with acetic anhydride, ethyl acetate formed during the reaction being distilled off.  Unreacted acetic anhydride is then distilled off under reduced pressure, leaving an oily polyacetoxymethyl-siloxane.
