Title: Powders having contact biocidal properties
Inventor: TAYLOR ALAN JOHN
IPC: A61P31/02
Filed: 2002-11-08
Abstract: Powders having contact biocidal properties comprise a polysacharide carrying
atomic/metallic silver. The preferred polysaccharide is chitin, although other
polysaccharides including chitosan, carboxymethyl celluloses and carrageenans can be
used. The chitin may be obtained from deproteinated crustacean shells without
demineralisation, thus being admixed with calcium carbonate and other naturally
occurring minerals present in the shells, and may be enzyme deacetylated. 
     The powders of the invention can be used as biocidal dusting powders, formulated into
pastes, gels, hydrogels, creams, foams and aerosol sprays for pharmaceutical
applications, or dissolved to form solutions for coating substrates such as skin, fabrics,
glass, leather and paper to give a bactericidal surface. A particular application of such a
solution is as a protective, post-wash treatment for workwear in a laundering process. 
     The powders of the invention may be prepared by slurrying a polysaccharide, which is
capable of interacting with silver ions and which is in powder form, in a liquid in which
the polymer is insoluble, which liquid contains silver ions, filtering off the powder,
washing the powder, reducing the silver ions which have interacted with the
polysaccharide to atomic/metallic silver, and drying the powder. According to the
polysaccharide chosen, the liquid is suitably water or aqueous ethanol. The silver ions
may derive from silver nitrate. The reduction of the silver ions which have interacted
with the polysaccharide to atomic/metallic silver can be effected photochemically
through exposure to light. To hasten the reduction, however, the washed powder is
preferably slurried in a solution of an alkali metal halide, irradiated under stirring with
natural or artificial light containing an ultraviolet component, and again filtered off and
washed, before drying it.

Abstract: A tool holder (1) for a rotary hammer or chisel hammer, having a main body
(10) with a receiving opening (10') for the shank (30) of a drill bit or chisel, which
shank is formed with at least one axial groove (4) which grooves are closed at both
ends. At least one axially extending, elongate through-opening (11) is formed in the
wall of the tool holder main body (10) and a locking element (12) of smaller axial
length than the through-opening is inserted through the through opening. The locking
element in a locked position engages in an axial groove (4) in the shank of the bit or
chisel and the locking element is supported by a supporting ring (16) against outward
radial displacement. The locking element in a release position is displaced radially
outwards relative to the locked position. The supporting ring (16) is axially movable
between a position supporting the locking element (12) in the locked position and a
second position defining a first release position of the locking element (12). The
locking element (12) consists of a shaped element which, on its radially outer side,
has a single projection (13) lying between a first recess (18) formed at the front edge
of the locking clement and a second recess (19) formed at the rear edge of the locking
element and the supporting ring (16) has on its radially inner side a single projection
(17) lying between a first recess (28) formed at the front edge of the supporting ring
and a second recess (26) formed at the rear edge of the supporting ring. The locking
element (12) and supporting ring (16) are formed so that the shape of the projection
(17) of the supporting ring (16) matches the shape of the recesses (18, 19) in the
locking element (12) and the shape of the projection (13) of the locking element (12)
matches the shape of the recesses (26, 28) in the supporting ring (16). In the locking
position of the locking element (12) the projection (13) thereof abuts the projection
(17) of the supporting ring (16) and, in a release position of the locking element (12),
part of the projection (13) of the locking element (12) is received in one of the
recesses (28, 26) of the supporting ring (16).

Abstract: A method for producing metallic strips having a high-grade cube texture based on nickel, copper, aluminum, silver or alloys of these metals including austenitic iron-nickel alloys makes it possible to obtain, during a subsequent annealing process and with lower total degrees of forming, a recrystallization cube layer of a quality equal to that of one obtained using customary roll forming and produces a better quality cube texture with comparable total degrees of forming. To this end, a forming method is provided during which the materials are formed by cold drawing before their recrystallization annealing thereby rendering them high-grade. The tools used for this include: a) non-driven roll devices with an axially parallel flat pair of rolls or turk's head arrangements with two pairs of rolls or; b) fixed drawing jaws that are slanted toward one another. The strips produced according to the invention can be used, for example, as a coating support for producing strip-shaped high-temperature superconductors.
