Title: Process for rendering textiles water repellent
IPC: D06M13/188
Filed: 1935-06-28
Abstract: Textiles of cotton, artificial silk and mixtures of wool and artificial silk are rendered water-repellent by treatment with emulsions of the anhydrides of fatty acids having more than 10 carbon atoms made with the aid of soap.  Preferably, cold-stirred soaps are used.  The emulsion may be made by adding a hot potash soap solution to molten stearic anhydride, stirring and subsequently diluting with hot water.  The textile material is immersed in the emulsion, squeezed off, dried, heated for a short time at 80--150 DEG  C. to ripen, rinsed if desired to remove the soap, and dried.  The textiles may be washed with soap, saponine, or synthetic washing agents before impregnation.  The treatment of hosiery, woven and knitted goods and printed materials is described.  Specification 431,670, [Group VIII], is referred to.ALSO:Emulsions of the anhydrides of fatty acids having more than 10 carbon atoms made with the aid of soap are used to waterproof textiles.

Abstract: 147,071. Vollbrot Verwertungs-Ges. Nov. 9, 1915, [Convention date]. Stationary batch mixers with rotary stirrers.- Apparatus for preparing dough direct from corn comprises a trough which can be tipped laterally in both directions and which contains stirrers and beaters, and a roller mill. In the trough 1 the corn is first washed, water being admitted from the pipe 18 and the beaters 20 and stirrers 25 put in motion. The beaters 20 consist of parallel blades, the blades of one beater being at rightangles to those of the next. The stirrers 25. which move more slowly, sweep the trough and direct the corn towards the beaters, and cause a current of water at the surface towards the overflow channel 13. The washing-water is afterwards discharged through this channel and the gutter 15 and pipes 16, 40, by tilting the trough 1, the cover 4 being closed and the corn being retained by a grating 17. The corn is then seaked causing it to swell and loosen the husk by admitting warm water by the pipe 18. The husks are detached by the beaters 20 and are floated off and carried to the overflow 13, the pipe 16 being turned to discharge on to the sieve 35 which retains the husks, the water with suspended starch passing through into a settling tank 34 from which the starch and supernatant liquid can be drawn off separately. The husked corn is then tipped from the other side of the trough 1 into a truck 41 by which it is carried to the feed hopper 44 of a roller mill.
