Title: Improved dentifrices
IPC: A61K8/60
Filed: 1923-01-11
Abstract: 207,419. Wade, H., (Special Chemicals Co.). Jan. 11, 1923. Dentifrices.-Dentifrices containing sugar acid lactones, such as the lactones of galactonic acid, mannonic acid, and gluconic acid, are made with such ingredients that the lactone is not reactive with the filler, either by using completely dehydrated or anhydrous fillers and vehicles, or by using a non-reactive filler. In the former case, 1 to 10 per cent of the lactone is mixed with completely dehydrated chalk, together with anhydrous glycerol and, if desired, absolute alcohol. Flavouring substances and dehydrated soap powder may be added. Preferably, a non-reactive filler is used in aqueous solution. The lactone, in the proportion of from 1 to 10 per cent of the whole mass, is dissolved in at least its own weight of water and is preferably boiled to effect a partial conversion into acid and establish chemical equilibrium. From 40 to 70 per cent of a mildly abrasive filler such as tricalcium phosphate or kieselguhr which does not react with the acid of the lactone is incorporated with the solution, together with a small proportion of a gum, such as gum tragacanth or gum arabic, 8 to 25 per cent of glycerine, 5 to 15 per cent of alcohol, and a little flavouring material, such as oil of wintergreen.

Title: Improvements relating to machines for issuing or vending articles such as tickets, booklets, packages or the like
IPC: G07F11/04
Filed: 1940-01-18
Abstract: 538,095. Coin-freed vending machines. GODFREY, P. F. Jan. 18, 1940, No. 1071. [Class 27] In a coin-freed vending machine in which the articles are arranged in a stack with alternate articles turned through 90 degrees, so that angular movement of a delivery slide between two positions at right angles brings a hole in the slide into register with the lowest article in the pile at the end of each movement, such article falling by gravity through the hole while the rest of the pile is automatically blocked by the orientation of the next article, a rotary actuating-member is provided which normally can be moved without actuating the delivery slide but which actuates the latter when the two are coupled by a coin. Fig. 1 shows the stack of articles 40, the bottom one of which falls through a hole in the disc 35. To move the latter angularly, an annular disc 48 is moved angularly by a hand-operated slide in the front of the machine. This swings a bell-crank 73 which in turn presses against the rod 65 engaging the disc. As the rod 65 passes freely through a slot in the disc 35 the latter is not moved to deliver an article unless the two discs are coupled by insertion of a coin. A ridge 50 on the disc 48 normally passes freely between spaced guides depending from the disc 35, but when the guides are occupied by a coin the ridge abuts the latter and the two plates move together. The coin, after insertion in the slot, undergoes various tests while passing down the guide 80, and rejected coins are returned through a separate opening. Accepted coins pass down another guide 82 to one of the guides depending from the disc 35. A used coin falls from the guides and passes along a guide 100 and is visible at a window with its front edge bearing against a stop 102 and its weight supported by a gate member 103 carried by a vertical spindle. When the machine is next operated, the edge of the socket member or depending guide carrying the coin rotates the spindle and removes the gate member so that the coin on exhibition falls into a collecting box. To cover the coin slot when the machine is empty, a weight 120 resting on the pile of articles trips a bell-crank lever 117 in its lowest position and thus releases a weighted rod 116 which falls by gravity and lowers a cover plate 115 over the coin slot.

Title: High frequency apparatus
IPC: H01J23/24
Filed: 1962-01-11
Abstract: 987,284. Travelling wave tubes; particle accelerators; microwave filters. VARIAN ASSOCIATES. Jan. 11, 1962 [Feb. 27, 1961], No. 1105/62. Headings H1D and H1W. High frequency apparatus has a slow wave structure comprising a plurality of coupled cavity resonators 28 of the coaxial cavity type, the coupling between adjacent resonators being such as to provide negative mutual inductive coupling thus causing a reduction in the resonance frequency in the T1 mode of operation while not substantially affecting the resonance in the " O " mode of operation. The apparatus may be used in a forward or backward wave travelling wave tube or in a particle accelerator, apertures being provided in the end walls 24 of the cavities and the conducting bar 27 of each cavity for the passage of an electron beam from an electron gun. Negative mutual inductive coupling is obtained by providing coupling apertures 35 in the end walls of the resonates with or without the provision of a loop 34. In a travelling wave tube operating on the first space harmonic, the time of flight of electrons through one cavity is three-quarters of a cycle, whilst the time of flight through the thickness of one of the bars 27 is one-half cycle. The bar need not be perpendicular to the beam axis as shown, but it may be inclined and attached to the end walls of the resonators, Fig. 6 (not shown) or it may extend parallel to the beam axis from each end wall and have a central portion perpendicular to the beam axis, Figs. 5a, 5b (not shown). For coupling energy into or out of the structure one of the bars may extend through an aperture in the waveguide 26 and terminate on a wall of an input or output waveguide arranged adjacent waveguide 26.

Filed: 1954-05-01
Abstract: Textile yarns and fabrics of "secondary" cellulose acetate are dyed or printed with anionic metal complex dyestuffs of the formula <FORM:0774537/IV(b)/1> wherein X is SO2NH2, SO2NHCH3 or SO2CH3 and Me is a trivalent metal, from a simple aqueous dyebath or printing paste provided that the dyebath or paste also contains a water-soluble liquid organic swelling agent for cellulose acetate or, in the case of a printing paste, a water-soluble inorganic salt which is a swelling agent for cellulose acetate.  In addition to the liquid swelling agent, the dyebath may also contain the inorganic salt swelling agent. Suitable liquid swelling agents for addition to the dyebath are ethyl-, isopropyl- and diacetone-alcohols and for addition to the paste are polyethylene glycol and ethyl lactate.  A suitable inorganic salt swelling agent is sodium thiocyanate. Fabrics containing cellulose acetate fibres together with cotton or viscose rayon may be subsequently cross-dyed with, e.g. solubilized vat dyes, to give two-colour effects.  Examples of dyeing and printing are given.  Specification 622,676 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in the manufacture of alcohols by hydration of olefines
IPC: C07C29/00
Filed: 1946-01-16
Abstract: Ethyl alcohol and isopropyl alcohol are obtained by absorbing ethylene or propylene in sulphuric acid of a concentration not substantially below 85 per cent, hydrolysing the absorption product, separating from the products of hydrolysis any oily or tarry matters, and distilling the residue under sub-atmospheric pressure to obtain a head product of dilute aqueous alcohol and a base product of sulphuric acid of a concentration substantially above 40 per cent. Sulphuric acid of 90 or 95 per cent concentration is preferred for the absorption stage, together with 0.8-1 mols. of ethylene per mol. of sulphuric acid, and 1.2-1.5 mols. of water in the hydrolysis stage.  The mixture may be agitated during hydrolysis until the diethyl sulphate phase has disappeared, after which it may be boiled under reflux.  The oily or tarry matters separate from the hydrolysis product and may be removed by decantation.  The pressure in the distillation step may be about 100 mm., the base temperature should not be above 115 DEG  C., and the sulphuric acid remaining may have a concentration of 70 per cent.  The last 10-15 per cent of the dilute alcohol recovered is preferably returned to the process by being mixed with the water added to the absorption product.  An example is given of a batch and a continuous process.

Title: Improvements relating to electrical systems for automatically dimming vehicle headlamps
IPC: B60Q1/14
Filed: 1957-01-16
Abstract: 801,836. Photo-electric headlamp dimmers. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. Jan. 16, 1957 [Feb. 3, 1956], No. 1632/57. Class 40(3). In an electrical system having photo-electric control means for automatically switching a pair of vehicle headlamps from bright to dim condition and vice versa, means are provided whereby in switching from one condition to the other, one headlamp is switched before the other. When the light, say the headlamps of an approaching vehicle, falls upon the photocell in a photo-electric control circuit 30, Fig. 1, fitted to the first vehicle, a coil 38 of a relay is de-energized causing contacts 40, 44 to open thereby breaking the circuit from a battery 46 through coils 18, 28 of relays 10, 20, connected in series. The armature 16 of the relay 10 releases immediately and switches from the contact 12 to the contact 14 thereby disconnecting the bright filament 2 in one headlamp and connecting the dim filament 4 in that headlamp. The coil 28 of the relay 20 is shunted by a resistance 58 in series with a condenser 60 which by discharging through the coil 28 delays de-energization of the relay 20 so that the armature 26 switches the other head lamp from its bright filament 8 to its dim filament 6 at a slightly later instant. When the source of light (of the approaching vehicle) has passed, relay 38 re-energizes and the coils 18, 28 re-energize simultaneously so that no delay is evident on return to the bright condition. In a modification, Fig. 2, when light falls on the photo-cell of the control circuit 30, relay coil 70 is de-energized, which in turn de-energizes the coil 18 of a relay 10 and releases the armature 16 which switches from the contact 12 to the contact 14. The dim filaments 4 of a first headlamp is thereby connected and the bright filament 2 of that headlamp is disconnected. The second headlamp is controlled by a thermal delay switch having a heating coil 82 connected to the bright filament 2 of the first headlamp so that the heating coil 82 is disconnected simultaneously with the filament 2. The bimetal armature 76 of the thermal delay switch cools down and switches from the bright filament 8 of the second headlamp, to the dim filament 6 thereof, at a slightly later instant. In this embodiment there is a slight delay in the second headlamp, also on switching back to the bright condition. In a further modification, Fig. 3 (not shown), employing a thermal delay switch for the second headlamp, the heating coil of the thermal delay switch is arranged to be heated when the lights are in the dim condition.
