Title: Elements for securing protective screens to articles to be protected from the action of heat and flames
Inventor: GAETH RUDOF
IPC: F27D1/14
Filed: 1963-02-14
Abstract: 996,553. Securing means for protective screens. BADISCHE ANILIN- & SODA-FABRIK A.G. Feb. 14, 1963 [Feb. 21, 1962], No. 5964/63. Heading A5A. Means for securing a protective screen of incombustible material to an article comprise a securing element, e.g. a nail, bolt or dowel, which is surrounded for at least part of its length between the screen and the article by one or more plates composed of an alkali metal silicate containing 20 to 70% by weight water and 10 to 40% synthetic silicate fibres, e.g. of glass or mineral wool. Such plates expand to form a stable foam structure when heated and thus will then insulate the securing element. Their expansion may also serve to force the screen away from the article to provide an air space therebetween, the unexpanded construction being retained in place by an easily heatdeformable spacer which may surround a part of the securing element either between the screen and article or on the side of the article away from the screen. Alternatively, the securing element may be recessed into the article and the deformable spacer placed so as to bear against a rigid support for the unexpanded plates. Figs. 1 and 2, 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 depict three embodiments of the invention before and after exposure to heat wherein the screen 1 is secured by bolt 3 to the article 5, the expandable plates 4 being situated therebetween. The heat-deformable spacer 5 maintains the unexpanded construction rigid. Specification 944,133 is referred to.

Games of chance.-Apparatus of the kind described in Specification 139,434 for use in playing a game of the roulette type comprises a revolving ball-receptacle with a lateral orifice and furnished with a slightly inclined floor formed with a shcot at its lower edge and revolving at a substantially lower speed than the ball-receptacle, in conjunction with a surrounding playtable divided into coloured and numbered sections and formed with pockets for the reception of the balls ejected from the rotating ball-receptacle. The apparatus which may be operated manually or, as shown in Fig. 2, by the motor of a gramophone Y, rests on adjustable legs X and has a stationary table a suitably coloured and divided and provided with pockets b. The ball-receptacle k rests loosely on a sleeve e and is rotated from the gramophone spindle, z through a clip n, gear wheels i, h ,g, f and the sleeve e. An additional friction drive may be introduced between the gear wheels h, g. The inclined floor m is driven by frictional contact with the top of the sleeve e but is retarded to an irregular extent by contact with the sleeve j of the gear wheel i with the result that a shoot m coincides at irregular intervals with an outlet l and discharges the balls irregularly to the cups b. Further variation in speed is caused by making the wheels i, h elliptical, and a further irregularity is introduced by means of a loose plate in frictional engagement with the underside of the ballreceptacle, the loose plate having a projection thereon which may fortuitously contact with a radial arm on the spindle of the wheels g, h thus causing a temporary and fortuitous retardation of the ball-receptacle.

Filed: 1941-05-21
Abstract: 552,880. Catalytic conversion of hydrocarbons. STANDARD OIL DEVELOPMENT CO. May 21, 1941, No. 6511. Convention date, April 9, 1940. [Class 32] In a process for cracking oils of the kind in which a suspension of oil and catalyst is passed through a heated reaction zone and the catalyst is separated from the cracked products first in a cyclone separator and then by washing the cracked vapours with a fraction condensed therefrom, the mixture of catalyst and condensate thus obtained is cracked by heat treatment in a separate reaction zone or by recycling the mixture to the main catalytic reaction zone. The crude feed is vaporized in coil 12 and with or without passage through a separator 15 and superheater 19 is mixed with catalyst from a tank 24 and conveyer 23 and the suspension thus formed is passed through a heated or unheated tubular or bulk reactor 22. The catalyst is separated from the cracked products in a series of cyclone separators 27 and the residual catalyst remaining in the vapours is separated by washing it with condensate collecting in the lower part of a tower 32 in the upper part of which vapours of higher boiling range than gasoline are condensed, collected on plate 33 and removed through line 35 while the gasoline vapours are removed overhead through line 39, condensed in cooler 40 and collected in receiver 41 where gases are separated. The condensate in line 35 may be recycled through line 37 to the vaporizer 12. The condensate collected at the bottom of tower 32, which contains the residual catalyst, is passed through line 51 to a heated coil 53 where the condensate is cracked to convert it to gasoline or subjected to mild viscosity breaking treatment. The products pass to vessel 56 which serves as a separator or coking vessel. Vapours from the chamber 56 are mixed with those passing to the tower 32 or separately fractionated; alternatively they may be passed to the inlet of the superheater 19 or to the reactor 22. Fresh oil mixed with catalyst, or residual oil from separator 15, may be fed through line 61 to mix with the condensate passed to the heater 53. By controlling the amount of catalyst separated in the separators 27 the amount of catalyst which is recycled without regeneration to the reaction zone 22 can be controlled. Specification 547,048 is referred to.
