Title: A process of manufacture of a malted food product
IPC: A23L19/15
Filed: 1943-09-01
Abstract: A substantially dry food product is prepared by cooking potatoes in steam at atmospheric pressure or increased pressure, converting the cooked potatoes by mills or rolls or sudden release of pressure without addition of water to a paste containing at least 13 per cent. by weight of dry matter, incorporating .5-5 per cent. by weight on original potatoes of a malt containing substance, e.g., ground barley malt, at a temperature of 45-65 DEG  C., maintaining that temperature to convert part of the starch to dextrin and maltose with or without glucose, and drying to a moisture content of not more than 5 per cent. by weight.  Enzyme preparations or enzyme-containing materials other than malt may be added together with the malt and yeast may also be incorporated.  The process is also applicable to dried potatoes in sliced, powdered or other form after preliminary moistening or softening.  In an example, 1,200 grm. of potatoes are steamed for 1 hour, crushed to a thick paste when the temperature is 45 DEG  C., 30 grms of ground barley malt are added and the mixture allowed to stand for 2 1/4 hours in a chamber having an air temperature of 58 DEG  C., the semi-fluid product being then dried in shallow trays at 77-82 DEG  C.

Abstract: 575,158. Pressure-resisting covers. KEMPER, M. F. Sept. 9, 1943, No. 14795. [Class 123 (i)] [Also in Groups XXV and XXVI] The closure member of a container for wet concrete which is to be conveyed by compressed air, is provided with an inflatable gasket which may be integral with a facing of resilient material covering the surface of the closure member. Inflation of the gasket may be prevented except when the closure is in correct position. The facing 20 of the cover 18 is formed around its periphery with a channel 27 and is carried by a metal backing plate 30 and ring 31 which are screwed tc the cover. The cover slides on to the mouth 12 of the container, be ing supported in its oper position by rails 36, and it is retained in closec position by inturnec flanges 38 extending under the container flanges 22. Pressure fluid admitted by the part 40 presses the gasket downwards against the container flange. The cover is moved by pistons 47 on either side, the rods 48 of which are secured one at each end of a cross-bar 49 carried by the forward edge of the cover. Pressure fluid for moving the cover is controlled by a rotary disc valve which in one position admits fluid to the operating pistons to close the cover, in a second position locks the pistons against movement, and in a third position admits fluid to the opposite side of the pistons to open the cover. Other ports in the valve are so controlled that fluid is admitted to the gasket only when the valve member is moved from the cover-closing position in a direction away from the opening position, and a latch 147 is provided to prevent movement of the valve to this position until the cover has reached its closed position, when the latch is released from a notch on a disc carried by the valve spindle, by means of an actuating rod 150. Reverse movement of the valve spindle is not prevented. The valve also provides means by which the inflating port 27 is open to atmosphere except when the valve is in inflating position. -To keep the cover-sealing surfaces clean, a scraper 155 is provided, pressed against the cover by spring 157. The scraper may be straight or curved, to suit the shape of the opening closed by the cover. The scraper may be supplemented by a tube 175 having jets 176 through which a mixture of air and water is projected on to the sealing surfaces as the cover opens. The sealing surface 21 is cleaned as the cover is being closed by directing air from a groove 185 'through a slot 187 against the surface. To ensure against leakage of air from the gasket, the lips of the groove 27 are directed upwards before assembly on the cover. In a modification, Fig. 32, a ring-shaped gasket 205 may be used in a groove in the cover, the protective facing of the cover being omitted.

Abstract: 1,196,055. Thermal overload switches. BROOKHIRST IGRANIC Ltd. 25 March, 1969 [27 March, 1968] No. 14834/68. Heading H1N. In a three-phase thermal overload relay device of the type described in Specification 797,587, in which any of three bimetal elements 7, Figs. 6, 7, actuate a snap-action contact 26, Fig. 4, heaters 6, Fig. 1 (not shown), connected in each phase are mounted in a separate subassembly attached to the assembly containing the bimetal elements 7. Each heater element 6 (not shown), is associated with one of the bimetal elements 7 which are mounted on a central bracket 8 to face the heaters 6 with both ends engaged in slots 14 of levers 12 pivoted at 13 whereby vertical movements (in Figs. 6, 7) result in horizontal movement of a pin 15 mounted on each lever 12. As in Specification 797,587, movement of the ends of the bimetals, on heating, results in movement in the direction of arrow 16 of a bar 17 coupled to a compensating bimetal 20. When the opposite end of the bimetal 20 engages a temperature setting cam 29, of adjusting knob 28, switchactuating bar 18 connected to the pins 15 at the opposite ends of the bimetals 7 is caused to move to actuate switch blade 26 through overcentre spring 24. Manual resetting is provided by a slider 27 which moves a member 30 carrying the backing contact 25a sufficiently to return blade 26 over-centre. For automatic resetting a lever (32, Fig. 3, not shown) is provided to hold the member 30 in the resetting position. As in Specification 797,587, the compensating bimetal 20 is yieldingly held against an adjusting screw 22 by a spring 21 to permit overtravel of the system. Further, an additional bar 19 engaged by the same pins 15 as the actuator bar 18 is adjustably located by a screw 23 and provided for actuation of the switch 26 in the event of a failure of one of the heaters associated with a bimetal. In this event bar 19 holds the cooled bimetal at one end so that its other end prevents movement in the direction of arrow 16 of the compensation bar 17 Actuator bar 18 is thereby caused to actuate switch 26.
