Title: Improved method of applying protective colouring in the printing of documents representing value
IPC: B41M3/14
Filed: 1932-10-31
Abstract: 386,935. Printing processes. WATERLOW & SONS, Ltd., and CLIFFORD, S. G., 26, Great Winchester Street, London. Oct. 31, 1932, No. 30596. [Class 100 (ii).] A document such as a bond, share warrant, cheque, &c., which is to be as fraud-proof as possible, is twice passed through multicolour printing rollers or blocks, once in the direction of the length of the document and once transversely of its length to produce a variegated effect. In the first printing operation the document receives four bands of colour such as yellow, purple, green, and yellow, and the colours are merged at a, b, and c to produce a rainbow effect ; in the second operation the document receives three bands of colour such as blue, red, and blue, and again the colours are merged at d and e. In addition a close register pattern is printed consisting in the first operation of a series of squares 5, crosses 2 within the squares, and crosses 3 outside the squares, and in the second operation of a series of circles 6 and crosses 2a and 4. The combined effect is that the crosses 2a are superimposed on the crosses 2, the crosses 3 lie between the squares 5, and circles 6 all lie within the squares 5.

Title: Coin sifting device
IPC: G07D3/02
Filed: 1976-07-23
Abstract: 1533493 Sorting coins GLORY KOGYO KK 23 July 1976 [25 July 1975 31 July 1975 15 April 1976] 30847/76 Heading G4X In a coin sifting device coins pass from a coin feeding section 4 to a coin passage 7. The passage has a floor plate 37 positioned on a base plate 34. In floor plate 37 there are sifting holes 16 which have one lateral side formed by adjustable plates 33. Coins are fed along the passage by a propelling belt 8 that comprises two parallel belt elements. Each element has a round tubular shape and is made of a material that is soft and highly elastic, e.g. rubber or synthetic rubber. Passage perimeter members 15 are rotatably supported and form a perimeter defining part. Fig. 8 shows the path of a coin along the passageway. As a coin moves around a disc 15 it is positively and accurately positioned relative to the respective sifting hole 16. The lateral movement of the coin deforms the elements of belt 8 which thus exert a sideways force on the coin and return it to its original path when the respective disc 15 is passed. The possibility of belt 8 also caters for coins of different thicknesses, deforming upwards and thus exerting a downward force on the coin. This provides a positive force to flip a coin through its respective sifting hole 16. The discs 15 may be replaced by fixed members or one fixed member whereby the belt is displaced for the whole length of travel of a coin past the sifting holes. In a modification, Figs. 15-18 (not shown), rollers guiding the driving belt are positioned so that it follows a zig-zag path. This moves a coin from side to side of the passage and the sifting holes are positioned accordingly.

Title: Breaking of mineral oil emulsions
IPC: C10G33/04
Filed: 1950-12-18
Abstract: Aqueous mineral oil emulsions are broken by heating with an aqueous solution of a phosphate of an aliphatic amine having more than six carbon atoms, the salt containing not more than two amino groups for each atom of phosphorus.  If desired, the amine may be reacted with ethylene oxide prior to conversion into the phosphate.  A mixture of amines derived from natural fatty acids, e.g. coconut oil fatty acids, may be used.  In an example 10 parts by weight of a 1 per cent. aqueous solution of the product obtained by reacting stearylamine with 5 to 30 molar proportions of ethylene oxide are converted to the mono-amine phosphate by reaction with phosphoric acid, and 100 parts by weight of an aqueous crude oil emulsion are added to the amine phosphate solution and the mixture is shaken and heated at 70 DEG -80 DEG  C. for 2 to 8 hours.  Specifications 515,631, 635,717 and 710,859 are referred to.

Abstract: Oils of the coconut oil group, for example, coconut, babassu, tucum and palm kernel oils, are modified to yield oils having iodine values of 1-30 by interesterifying the oil with a triglyceride of at least one fatty acid having 8 or 10 carbon atoms in the acid molecule, either before or after the oil is hydrogenated.  Suitable triglycerides, which are preferably present to the extent of 5-30% of the oil to be interesterified, are those of capric and caprylic acids, or mixtures of both, such as one containing 80% caprylic and 20% capric acids.  The blend to be interestified may contain tristearin, if a higher melting product is desired.  Other oils, the fatty acids of which contain mainly 16-18 carbon atoms, such as peanut, corn, cottonseed or soya bean oil, may also be present.  Such a blend is preferably first hydrogenated to a product having a melting point 5-10 DEG  C. higher than that desired in the final oil before the blend is interestified.  The interesterification is suitably performed in the presence of a catalyst such as sodium methoxide, and the final product washed, dried and bleached under vacuum, after which it may be steam deodorized.  Specification 820,270 is referred to.ALSO:Coconut group oils, for example, coconut, babassu, tucum and palm kernel oils, are modified to yeild products suitable for use in margarine and having iodine values of 1-30 by interesterifying the oil with a triglyceride of at least one fatty acid having 8 or 10 carbon atoms in the acid molecule either before or after the oil is hydrogenated.

Abstract: 282,722. British Celanese, Ltd., (Assignees of Dreyfus, C., and Platt, H.). Dec. 30, 1926, [Convention date]. Yarns and threads, treating with liquids.-The delustring of yarns and other materials composed of or containing organic derivatives of cellulose such as cellulose acetate or propionate, or cellulose ethers, is prevented or controlled by the addition of sulphocyanides of an alkali or alkaliearth metal or of ammonium to the aqueous baths at or near boiling temperatures, such as are used in dyeing, bleaching, &c. The amount of sulphocyanide used may vary from 0.1 to 30 per cent of the weight of the bath, usually, however, from 1-10 per cent. The salt to be selected and the amount to be employed, depends on the conditions; thus, if large quantities are required, or if baths containing soap are used, then sodium, potassium or ammonium sulphocyanides are to be preferred, but in other cases, calcium sulphocyanide should be used, in which case proportions of one per cent are adequate. Goods treated in this way, can be made to exhibit the lustre of natural silk, while the handle and feel are improved; and knitted goods such as stockings do not shown any " teething " effect. The amount of delustring in any particular case depends on the conditions of the treatment and on the character of the material; thus, yarns delustre more readily than knitted fabric, and the latter more readily than woven fabric, and moreover, material treated on a jig will not delustre so readily as when treated on a winch or reel. Specifications 246,879 and 260,312 are referred to.
