Title: Process to form fabric softening particle,particle obtained and its use
IPC: C11D3/37
Filed: 2005-07-19
Abstract: This invention relates to the incorporation of single and double emulsions into a cross-linking polysaccharide matrix selected from alginate and carrageenan, particularly when cured in a saline solution. Beading and extrusion were used as encapsulation processes. Particles were obtained containing 54 to 88% oil. The double emulsion is known to deliver rinse conditioner softness to the wash. The problem has been to incorporate it into a matrix that will allow redispersion in the wash. The emulsions incorporated redisperse in the same manner as they did before incorporation. The technology has been tested for a wide range of oils, however, specific combinations of oils and kappa carrageenan yield excellent particles containing high oil levels, which are suitable for incorporation into detergent powders, with good softening performance.

Title: Friction hinges
Filed: 2006-02-09
Abstract: A friction stay comprises elongate base (10) connected to an arm (17) by a linkage (18, 19, 20). The linkage (18, 19, 20) constrains movement of the arm (17) in a plane between a position in which the arm (17) overlies the base (10) (a closed position of the window leaf) and a position in which the arm (17) is to one side of the base (10) and at an angle to the base (10) (an open position of the window leaf). The linkage includes a slider (15) moveable along the base (10) with the slider (15) being held against movement relative to the base (10) from a first position. Movement of the arm (17) from the first position to a second position relative to the base (10) releases the slider (15) for movement relative to the base from said first position. The linkage may act to release the slider by releasing a locking member (26) of the slider from engaging with a stop (31) provided on the base (10) as the arm (17) moves from said first position to said second position.
Patent GB-0705210-D0 (GB)
Title: Heat exchangers
Filed: 2007-03-19
Abstract: A heat exchanger 11 for use as a cross-flow radiator for an engine cooling system comprises a heat exchanger matrix 12, header tanks 13 and 14 and a side plate 16 arranged at the upper of a pair of opposite side edges 17 of the matrix 12. The matrix 12 comprises tubes 18 which extend in a parallel array between the tanks 13, 14 and cooling fins 19. In use air flows not only between adjacent pairs of tubes but also between the side plate and its adjacent tube. A restrictor plate 21 is arranged on the side plate 16 to restrict the flow of air between the side plate and the adjacent, uppermost, tube 18A. The restrictor plate 21 is in the form of a rectangular blanking plate which blocks the flow of air between the side plate 16 and the uppermost tube 18A over part of its length and allows air to flow through cut-out gaps or castellations 22 over the remainder. This reduces heat transfer through the fins above the uppermost tube 18A by simply blocking the air flow over 50% of their length. The reduced heat transfer allows for an even temperature distribution in the uppermost tube 18A and the tube 18B below and thus reduces stress from thermal expansion.

Title: Switch operating mechanisms
IPC: H04M1/08
Filed: 1984-01-23
Abstract: A switch operating mechanism for use in a telephone Instrument (for example, for operating a hook switch) has two arms (4 and 5) for projection from - and independent displacement with respect to - an outer surface of the Instrument body (1). The arms (4 and 5) are arranged to co-operate with a switch actuating member (13) such that this member adopts a first position when both arms (4 and 5) are retracted with respect to the body (1), and a second position when one or both of the arms (4 and 5) is or are extended from the body (1). This mechanism is particularly advantageous for operating the hook switch in a one-piece telephone instrument because inadvertent depression of one of the arms (4 or 5) does not cause actuation of the hook switch.
Patent GB-8414173-D0 (GB)
Title: Dispensing pump
IPC: B65D83/76
Filed: 1984-06-04
Abstract: A dispensing pump is adapted for pressure filling and includes a fluid filling passage which remains sealingly closed during pumping operation by the provision of an annular valve skirt in sealing engagement with a wall of the fluid filling passage, such skirt inwardly flexing during charging the container permitting the charged fluids to by-pass the valve and enter the container. The valve skirt depends from either the plunger head or from the plunger. When depending from the plunger, the valve skirt functions as a guide element for the plunger head together with a plunger head retention bead which cooperates with a pump body retention bead in limiting the upward movement of the plunger head to a predetermined extent. These guide members serve to isolate the plunger against the influence of lateral or eccentric forces applied against the plunger head during its reciprocation. And, the plunger may be capped with a wall surface defining a complementary contour to that of the upper end of the piston which it faces to facilitate expelling of product from the accumulation chamber after the end of the plunger downstroke as this surface first bottoms against the upper end of the piston.
Patent GB-8429740-D0 (GB)
Title: Lead wires in pinch seals
IPC: H01J9/32
Filed: 1984-11-24
Abstract: A lead wire arrangement used in the pinch seal of a tungsten halogen incandescent or air burning discharge lamp. The outer lead wires are made of an oxidation resistant material having a melting point significantly lower than the temperature surrounding the foil and lead wire arrangement during the pinch sealing process. Because the temperature reached during pinch sealing is of the order of 2,000°C conventionally outer lead wires have been made of a highly refractory material, for example, molybdenum which has to be coated with platinum to prevent oxidation. The invention uses materials having significantly lower melting points than 2,000°C which are also oxidation resistant thus avoiding the use of the expensive platinum. Suitable materials for the outer lead wires include titanium wire, titanium coated wire, nickel/iron alloys and titanium/molybdenum alloys.

Title: A glass-melting furnace
IPC: C03B3/00
Filed: 1992-07-08
Abstract: Toxic waste material containing heavy metals and derived from precipitators and/or scrubbers in the flues of refuse incinerators is made into a batch with glass-forming materials, particularly silica as fly ash and fed to a cold top melter with a special exit construction located within and beneath the part of the cold top melter where the molten vitreous mass is formed. On exit from the furnace the molten vitreous mass is dropped immediately into water within the confines of the furnace exit construction. A sufficient depth of unmelted feed batch is maintained above the molten vitreous mass to prevent vaporised heavy metals and heavy metal compounds passing through the unmelted feed batch to the atmosphere. In consequence, all heavy metals and heavy metal compounds are incorporated in the molten vitreous mass. The feed batch is formed into pellets of 8mm to 25mm diameter and infra-sound is applied across the pellets of the unmelted feed batch to prevent the condensation which forms on the pellets causing them to adhere to one another. <IMAGE>

Title: Shredding machine
IPC: B02C18/00
Filed: 1999-08-18
Abstract: A shredding machine comprises a housing, a shredding mechanism, a motor for operation of the shredding mechanism, a slot through which documentary material is fed for shredding by the mechanism, and an operating member movable from an operative position in which it extends across the slot, to an inoperative position retracted from the slot, in consequence of the feeding of the material into the slot, and returning, in the absence of the material in the slot, to its operative position under the action of a spring. A motor controller includes a microswitch having a plunger which is spring-urged into a projecting position, in which it is open circuit. The spring urges the operating member into its operative position. Thus, when material enters the slot, moving the operating member to its inoperative position, the plunger is depressed to start or permit operation of the shredding mechanism. A damper is interposed between the operating member and the resilient device, and includes a shallow cylindrical chamber within which a cylindrical drive member is mounted for rotary movement, such a movement being retarded by viscous material within the chamber. The drive member is connected to a drive arm, one end of which engages the operating member, the other end of which engages the plunger of the microswitch. Thus, on completion of passage of the material through the slot, releasing the operating member for movement to its operative position, the movement of the operating member to its operative position is retarded, allowing completion of passage of the sheet.
