Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of amines
IPC: C07C209/60
Filed: 1946-05-03
Abstract: Amines are produced by reacting a basic ammonia type of compound selected from ammonia and primary or secondary amines with a hydrocarbon containing olefinic unsaturation in the presence of an organic solvent substantially inert to the reactants and/or of an amine which under the reaction conditions is less reactive than the ammonia type of compound to the olefinic hydrocarbon, and of an alkali metal catalyst and at a temperature of 50 DEG  to 350 DEG  C. Starting materials include primary or secondary alkyl amines, aliphatic diamines, heterocyclic, aromatic and cycloaliphatic amines. In the case of the conjugated dienes suitable reaction pressures are from 1 to 3 atmospheres, but ethylene generally requires a pressure of at least 100 atmospheres, whilst propylene and isobutylene usually require 200 to 400 atmospheres.  Specified inert solvents are aliphatic ethers, benzene and cyclohexane.  In examples: (1) benzene, propylene, ammonia and sodium metal are heated at 950 to 1070 atmospheres pressure and the product distilled yielding isopropylamine and some di-isopropylamine (formed from the isopropylamine and propylene); (2) isobutylene, benzene, sodium and ammonia are heated under 650 to 700 atmospheres pressure and the product distilled yielding tertiary butylamine; (3) hexamethylene diamine, sodium, ethylamine, benzene and ethylene are heated under 400 to 650 atmospheres pressure and the product distilled yielding N-monoethyl hexamethylene-diamine.  On repeating this example without the ethylamine, a lower yield of the N-monoethyl hexamethylene diamine is obtained.  Specification 313,934, [Class 2 (iii)], and French Specification 662,431 are referred to.

Abstract: 787,086. Apron drafting arrangements. CASABLANCAS HIGH DRAFT CO., Ltd. April 19, 1956 [May 11, 1955] No. 13669/55. Class 120(2) A double-apron drafting apparatus has long apron runs in which two top rollers may be loaded alternatively to accommodate fibres of different lengths. Superposed aprons 11, 12 guided by a cradle 12a and tensor 13a, 13b pass round two pairs of rollers 3, 4, 5, 6 of which the top rollers have necks 3a, 5a of different diameters. A front saddle 14 rests on the neck 1a of the front top roller 1 and also on the neck 3a. With the roller 3 in the position shown, the rollers 3, 4 provide a short fibre drafting nip; by changing the positions of rollers 3, 5, a long fibre drafting nip is provided. A bridging member 18 is pivoted to the saddle 14 either at 16 or 16a according to the fibre length and the member 18 is also pivoted to a rear saddle 15 at 17, 17a or 17b according to the distance separating rear roller pairs 7, 8, 9, 10. According to the fibre lengths and roller spacings, a weighting hook 19 loads the member 18 through one of two hooks 19a, 19b. When the fibre bulk is large and it is desired to reduce the fibre control at the delivery nip, wider tensors may be used or a single arm tensor may guide the bottom apron and the top apron may pass only around the rollers 3, 5. The bottom roller of the second pair is driven at a speed which is preferably greater than the third bottom roller, say about 1 per cent.

Abstract: 897,320. Welding by fusion. WESTING- HOUSE ELECTRIC CORPORATION. April 20, 1960 [April 28, 1959], No. 13782/60. Class 83 (4). In welding the walls of an enclosure in an enclosed atmosphere of a shielding gas, the weld metal is supported by gas pressure obtained by supplying shielding gas to the inside of the enclosure and maintaining the pressure of the gas inside the enclosure at a predetermined level above that of the surrounding gas. A nuclear fuel element is formed of I-section zirconium alloy beams, the webs 19 of which are cored and the flanges 15 of which are arc seam-welded by a tungsten electrode 33. The assembly 13 of beams includes spacers 21 and is temporarily interposed between headers 23, 25 having gas inlets 27 and openings 29 connectable through valves 75, 77 to a control unit 81, 91, 93. Welding is performed in an enclosure 31 filled with say helium and connected by a tube 39 to a further enclosure 37 housing a compressor 43 supplying gas through valves 55, 57 to the inlets 27, the valves being actuated by the control unit in accordance with the difference between the gas pressure between the webs 19 and the pressure of the gas in the enclosure 31. By opening one only of valves 75, 77 the control is effected according to the pressure differential near that end of the assembly where the weld is being made. Specification 844,201 is referred to.

Re- -action water is released permanently from the system via valve 5 and a known pressure lock 7-10; valve 5 may be controlled by a device for measuring electrolyte level or concentration. Cooled water may, as shown, be forced directly through membrane 2 back into the chamber 1 by maintaining a superatmospheric pressure in chamber 4, or it may be returned via a threeway cock (15) in series with a pressure look (16) (Fig. 2, not shown), or the condensation surface (32) may itself be porous, so that the condensed water flows through it to join a cooling water water stream (35), part of which may be returned to the electrolyte via a pressure lock (29), Fig. 3 (not shown).

IPC: F16H1/28
Filed: 1956-05-04
Abstract: 817,490. Toothed gearing; shaft couplings. ALLEN SONS & CO. Ltd., W. H., and HUTCHINSON, A. C. Aug. 6, 1957 [May .4, 1956], No. 13885/56. Classes 80 (1) and 80 (2). A coupling for transmitting or restraining torque, of the kind comprising a part such as a sleeve having internal and/or external teeth or like formations engaged with similar teeth &c. on adjacent parts, has the teeth &c. on one coupling part of less axial width at a region in one plane than at a region in another plane at right angles to the first, to allow deviations from axial alignment in or about the plane of teeth &c. of lesser axial width. The device may be applied to a shaft coupling, but as shown, a sleeve 24 having external teeth 23, 25 according to the invention transmits the reaction torque of internally toothed rings 16, 17 of a planetary gear to a fixed outer casing T. The teeth 23, 25 engage teeth 22, 26 on a sleeve 20 connected to the toothed rings 16, 17 and a ring secured in the casing 1, respectively. Rings 27, 28 at the ends of the teeth 22, 26 limit the axial movement of the sleeve 24. The teeth 23, 25 are narrowest in the plane of Fig. 1, and increase to a maximum axial width at regions 29, 30 in a plane at right angles to the plane of the Figure. The axial width of the teeth in the regions 29, 30 is substantially the same as the distance separating each pair of movement-limiting rings 27, 28, so that the sleeve 24 cannot move axially, but can tilt about an axis perpendicular to the plane of Fig. 1. The internally toothed rings 16, 17 have external teeth 18, 19 meshing similar teeth on the sleeve 20, and are meshed internally by planet pinions 8 mounted in a carrier 4 fast with a driven shaft 3. An input shaft 2 is connected by a toothed universal joint 12 to a floating sun gear 11. Specifications 660,497 and 714,232 are referred to.
