Title: Process of treating cereal foods
IPC: A23L1/18
Filed: 1932-07-15
Abstract: Cereal grains are cooked in the presence of moisture, rolled while still moist and hot, partially dried and then sprayed or otherwise treated with some substance that after drying leaves a coating of such a character that the escape of steam from within the grain is prevented during a subsequent heating to a high temperature until the grains are browned and puffed by the steam pressure therein.  In a specific example the grains, such as those of wheat, rice, oats, corn &c., are cooked in a steam cooker at fifteen pounds pressure and passed directly to hot flattening or shredding rolls: grains of wheat are given a cup-shaped form in passing through such rolls.  The grains are then dried until the moisture content is from ten to fifteen per cent, preferably tempered and then provided with a moisture occluding coating for example by spraying with a solution containing a small amount of egg albumen or with a solution of salt and sugar in the proportion of twenty parts of water to two and one half parts of salt and from three to five parts of sugar: the grains are then again partially dried and tempered finally being subjected in an oven to a temperature of 325 DEG  to 600 DEG  F.  Rice may be prepared with the step of rolling or shredding omitted.

Abstract: 713,603. Expanding pulleys. AMERICAN, PULLEY CO. Aug. 11, 1952, No. 20137/52. Class 80 (2) An expanding pulley has a split hub 11 with a conical bore which receives a conical split bush 10. Pulley flange groups 12, 13 are mounted on the hub 11 and splined thereto at 42. Group 12 have segmental projections 43, 45, 46 clamped by bolts 41 and group 13 have segmental projections 47. 48 for clamping bolts 40. The flanges 33, 36 at one end have screw threads of opposite hands to receive an adjusting ring 16. An end ring 14, made of three parts 23, 24, 215 held together by bolts 26, has a conical surface engaging a conical bore at the end of the hub 11 and a flange 27 engageable with a shoulder 30 on the hub. Bolts 15 screwed into the split bush 10 have their heads accommodated in the end portion 25 of the ring 14. All the bolts have recessed heads for an adjusting spanner. During assembly the adjusting ring 16 is rotated to set the pulley flanges to the desired diameter. The assembly is then mounted on a shaft provided with a key for a key recess 17 in the bush 10. The bolts 15 are then tightened to draw the bush 10 towards the ring 14 so that due to the conical engagement of the hub 11 and bush 10 the former is expanded to clamp the pulley flanges and the latter is contracted to clamp the shaft. The conical engagement between the ring 14 and hub 11 tends to produce local expansion of the hub to lock the screwthreaded connection between the ring 16 and flanges 33, 36. In a modification the adjusting ring 14 is made in one piece and the bolts corresponding to the bolts 15 each have a collar engaging a recess in the hub to prevent relative axial movement.

[Class 80(ii)] In a double universal joint of the kind wherein spherical heads 4, 5 on each shaft carry pairs of spherical trunnions 10 on integral radial pins 6, the trunnions and heads sliding in three axial cylindrical grooves in a common intermediate sleeve 1 and the shafts being centred by a non- driving ball-and-socket 18, 16, the shank 19 of one member, e.g. of the ball 18, slides axially in its shaft against a return-spring 23. This permits relative axial movement between the coupled shafts without undue departure from unit velocity-ratio. In the plane shown in Fig. 1, the socket 16 extends over more than 180 degrees so as to retain the ball 18 against axial tension, the ball being flat-sided in that plane. In the Fig. 2 plane at right-angles to Fig. 1, the mouth of the socket is cut away as at 27 to admit the ball which is then turned through 90 degrees to the position shown, both ball and socket being then locked against relative rotation by pins 5a, 4a. The shaft ballhead 5 is located axially in the intermediate sleeve 1 by a concave-faced screw 25 in the latter. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 comprises also an arrangement (Figs. 4 and 5 Cancelled, not shown), in which the three cylindrical guide-grooves in the intermediate sleeve 1 are formed in a pair of separate opposed members attached by welding or screws to the inside of the sleeve. The ball and socket members are rigid with their shafts, spring-loaded axial freedom being allowed at the end of the driven shaft. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Title: An improved process and device for sealing hollow bodies made from glass tubes
IPC: C03B23/09
Filed: 1952-08-11
Abstract: 708,497. Glass manufacture. GOLD, H. F. Aug. 11, 1952, No. 20201/52. Class 56 In a process for making hollow sealed bodies, especially ampoules, from glass tube, the body is moulded and then severed from the tube by fusion which also provides a sealing base on the body and on the tube end, the base formed on the body then passing along a, former plate which serves as a cooling surface causing the base to harden, the tendency for the base to be drawn inwards being counteracted by directing a flame against the body to maintain its internal pressure. The apparatus is employed in conjunction with a machine in which the hollow bodies, for example, double ampoules, are made in stages from glass tubes by heating and drawing. Figs. 1 to 3 show the final stages in the operation. A burner 1 separates the formed double ampoule 3 from the tube 5 and seals both ampoule and tube with bases 2 and 4 respectively. The base 2 of the ampoule then moves along a plate 6 which is pivoted or moved radially into the path of its travel by a cam-operated mechanism, Figs. 6-9 (not shown), the cooling effect of the plate, which may be increased by a stream of air from elongated ports 9 and 10, causing the base 2 to harden. At the same time a flame 8 from a burner 7 is directed on to the body 3 so that its internal pressure shall not decrease and draw in the softened base. When the base is sufficiently hard to withstand the decrease in pressure, the ampoule passes out of the flame 8 and is ejected downwardly as shown in Fig. 3.
