Abstract: 492,488. Dispensing lubricant &c. VOGT, C. W. Nov. 16, 1937, No. 31542. [Class 66] The liquid contents, e.g. lubricating oil, of a flexible container 10, Fig. 8, are discharged into a vessel 21, Fig. 3, by puncturing the container and drawing it out from the vessel between a platen and a yielding pressure member, so that the liquid is stripped from the inside of the walls of the flexible container. The vessel has an inclined partition 30 supporting a pointed curved cutter 40 on to which the container falls when placed on the partition and whereby a portion is removed from the container allowing the oil &c. to discharge into the lower part of the vessel. The extension 11 at the upper end of the container is held between pins 46 mounted on the partition by means of flat springs, and a pressure member 47 carried by arms 48 which are pivoted at 49 on the partition and which have slotted arms 51 engaged by arms 54 pivoted on the partition plate and urged by torsion springs to maintain the member 47 in the pressing position. While so held, the container is drawn upward by hand between the pins 46 and the pressure member 47. The arms 48 are rocked anticlockwise to allow a fresh container to be inserted by a finger-piece 58 having lost-motion engagement with the shaft carrying the arms 54. An arm 92 on the finger-piece is linked at 93, with lost-motion, to a lever 87 provided with a valve 82, the lever 87 being pivoted at 85 to a bracket 86 on the partition. When the fingerpiece is lifted, the valve 82 is opened allowing the oil &c. to flow from the vessel through a pipe 24 and hose 25 to a nozzle which may be provided with a clip to enable the nozzle to be hung on the edge of the vessel 21. The valve 82 may be retained fully open by the snap action of a compression spring 90. The container is preferably made of thin flexible impervious thermoplastic sheet material.

Patent GB-779238-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of oximes
Inventor: PIEPER JOSEF
Filed: 1954-11-05
Abstract: Oximes are prepared by reacting a primary amine having the amino group linked to a primary or secondary carbon atom with hydrogen peroxide in the presence of a salt of an acid of tungsten, molybdenum or uranium, as catalyst, and a salt of an amino- or imino-polyacetic acid having sequestering properties towards heavy metal ions, at a temperature at which the primary amine and hydrogen peroxide react together in the molar proportion of 1:2.  Salts of nitrilo-acetic acid and of ethylene diamine tetra-acetic acid are specified sequestering agents: they permit use of higher reaction temperatures, e.g. up to 80 DEG  C. or higher. The catalysts may be alkali metal or ammonium tungstates, molybdates or uranates or the corresponding per-salts; salts of the acids with the amines used as reactants are also suitable. The process may be effected continuously.  The oximes are obtained as addition compounds of the amines which are decomposed into the oxime and amine by heating at above the melting point or by treating with an acid.  Examples describe the preparation of cyclohexanone-oxime from cyclohexylamine, acetoxime from isopropylamine, butyraldoxime from n-butylamine and benzaldoxime from benzylamine.

Title: Improvements in steam driven electric generating plants comprising arrangements for preheating feed water
IPC: F22D1/32
Filed: 1925-12-21
Abstract: 249,817. Akt.-Ges. Brown, Boveri, et Cie. March 24, 1925, [Convention date]. Drawings to Specification. Systems depending on two or more machines. -In power stations in which the feed water is preheated by steam from an auxiliary turbine, this turbine drives two generators, one supplying current for driving auxiliary machines whilst the other is connected to the main supply. Any demand for preheating steam in excess of that obtained through the requirements of the auxiliary machinery is met by loading the second machine, and when the said demand falls below that sufficient to drive the auxiliaries the second machine runs as a motor to supply the deficient power. Preferably this machine generates alternating current, and that supplying the auxiliaries direct current. The steam supplied by the auxiliary turbine may be governed by keeping its back pressure constant, or when run as a tapping backpiessure turbine by keeping constant the pressure one tapping point, say the first from the highpressure end. Alternatively, it may be governed by the final temperature of the feed water, e.g. by a thermostat. When, as upon a breakdown of the main generating plant, the steam from the auxiliary turbine is in excess of that required for pre-heating, a valve may be opened to allow steam to flow into a condenser.
