Title: Improvements in or relating to the treatment of mash and the manufacture of distillates therefrom
IPC: B01D3/00
Filed: 1933-07-25
Abstract: <PICT:0410989/III/1> Mash is heated by the heat of spent liquor while under sufficient pressure to prevent boiling.  A pressure of three atmospheres enables the mash to be heated from 80 DEG  C. to 98 DEG C. without the escape of carbon dioxide.  The drawing shows an apparatus for p  preheating mash by means of the heat from spent liquor from a mash column C.  The mash is fed through a pipe a and is forced by a pump E into a preheater A where it is heated to about 95 DEG  C. by liquor passing through a pipe e from the column C.  The spent liquor is supplied at a temperature of about 106 DEG  C. and is led away from the preheater through a pipe l.  The pressure in the preheater is controlled by a valve d through which the heated mash passes to a pressure reducing vessel B where it is spread over trays m.  Carbon dioxide, alcohol and water vapour are evolved in the vessel B and pass through a pipe g containing a valve h to the upper part of the column C, the mash passing into the column through a pipe f.  The mash in the column is further heated by steam supplied through a pipe k, the alcohol and water vapour passing through a pipe i to a distilling column D.

Title: Improvements in or relating to hydraulic steering dampers
IPC: B62K21/08
Filed: 1961-06-09
Abstract: 913,509. Steering dampers for cycles. BAYERISCHE MOTOREN WERKE A.G. June 9, 1961 [June 10, 1960], No. 21011/61. Classes 79(5) and 136(1). An hydraulic steering damper 1 for a powered vehicle is connected on the one hand, at 8, to a steered part of the vehicle and on the other hand (not shown) to an unsteered part so that the damping effect can be varied or can be switched into and out of operation at will. The part 8 is pivoted at 9 to a lever, itself pivoted at 4 on the underside of the fork bridge 3 of the vehicle out of line with the steering axis 10. The pivot 9 also carries an intermediate lever 7 which is pivoted at 14 to the free end of another lever 6 itself pivoted on the steering axis at 11. In the position shown in Fig. 1, the lever 6 rests against a stop 12 and steering movements of the fork bridge 3 are transmitted by the connector 8 to operate the piston rod 2 of the damper 1. Movement by the driver of a rod (not shown) passing down the steering axis to the pivot 11 can swing the lever 6 around the Same pivot until it abuts an alternative stop 13 and carries round with it through a dead centre, the linkage 5, 7, 8. In the latter position (Fig. 2, not shown) the pivot 9 is substantially aligned with the axis 10 so that steering movements are not transmitted to the piston 2 of the damper 1. Alternative to the pin stops 12 and 13 a collar (not shown) may be fixed on the lever 6 around the pivot 14 and co-operate with the sides of the lever 5 to act as a stop.

Abstract: 441,552. Table games. MEYER, J. F., 700, Flintbridge Avenue, Pasadena, California, U.S.A. July 20, 1934, No. 21329. [Class 132 (ii)] In a bagatelle game apparatus the entry of a ball into a predetermined hole in the playing surface causes an auxiliary portion of the playing surface bearing other holes to move a predetermined extent with respect thereto. The inclined playing surface 8 bears scoring holes 15, obstacles such as pins 63, and wires 64, 65, and a circular coplanar rotatable playing field 42 having holes 43 is located in a hole 41 therein. Should a ball be projected up the runway 13 into the uppermost hole 43, then it is necessary to project another ball into a hole, 66, for example, to actuate electromagnetic mechanism to rotate the field 42 and bring the next hole 43 into the uppermost position. Beneath the board 8 is located a board 16, biassing springs 18 normally holding the board 16 with holes 17 therein out of alignment with the holes 16 in board 8, so that pocketed balls rest on the board 16, which is advanced at the end of a game to align holes 15, 17, permitting the pocketed balls to fall on to an inclined board 7 and run to the front of the casing 1. Auxiliary playing field. The auxiliary playing board 42 is carried on a sleeve 50, Fig. 3, splined to a shaft 54 rigid with a disc 62 adapted to be rotated by, for example, a sprung pawl 60, Fig. 2, actuated by an electromagnetically operated vibratory mechanism 55. Beneath the board 42 is a board 44, having holes 45 corresponding to the holes 43 in board 42, and connected to sleeve 50 through a spring 46 which normally holds the board 44 with the holes 43, 45 out of alignment. Pocketed balls therefore rest on the board 44, and, when the board 16 is advanced to align the holes 15, 17 a lever 48 thereon engages one of the notches 49, Fig. 2, in board 44, and rotates it until holes 43, 45 are in alignment when the balls fall on to the return board 7. The board 42 is rotated only where a ball is projected into the hole 66 where it momentarily closes contacts 70, Fig. 2, to start the mechanism 55. The disc 62 is thereby advanced the circuit of the mechanism 55 being maintained at contacts. 80 in parallel with 70, closed by a lever 78 which normally engages with a hole in the disc 62, and is depressed by the disc to close contacts 80 when the disc commences to rotate, the spacing of the holes being such that contacts 80 are opened when the next hole 43 in board 8 has reached the uppermost position. The scores allotted to the holes 43 vary according to the position of the board 42.
