Title: Alarm Release Device for a Repeater Alarm Clock
IPC: G04B23/10
Filed: 1968-02-06
Abstract: 1,156,446. Alarm clocks. BLESSING- WERKE K.G. Feb. 6, 1968 (Feb. 6, 1967], No. 5830/68. Heading G3T. An alarm release device for a repeater alarm clock comprises a lever 9 having an arm 9b, 9c adapted to co-operate with a finger 11 and an arm 9a on which a rocker 12 is pivoted. On winding an alarm spring 3, to a ratchet wheel shaft of which the finger 11 is secured, the finger rotates in the direction of an arrow f and abuts the arm 9c to cause a clockwise rotation of the lever 9. The rocker 12 is therefore moved away from engagement with a wheel 13 secured to the minutes hand shaft and is rotated in an anti-clockwise direction by a biasing spring 15. When the alarm spring is fully wound, the finger 11 abuts the top of a nose 9d at the end of the arm 9b. At the alarm time, a hammer 5 is actuated by an alarm mechanism 4 and the finger rotates in a clockwise direction for about one revolution until it engages the bottom edge of the nose. The finger also exerts a pressure on the edge 9e of the arm 9b which is sufficient to press the rocker 12 against the wheel 13. After about ten minutes the rocker, which is frictionally rotated by the wheel, is clear of the wheel whereupon the finger 11 moves the arm 9b aside and the alarm is repeated.

Patent GB-488443-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to coating iron or mild steel with lead
IPC: C23C2/10
Filed: 1937-02-27
Abstract: To coat iron or mild steel with lead, the iron &c. is pickled, dried by heat under conditions which substantially prevent oxidation, and immersed in a layer of flux which completely covers a non-oxidized bath of molten lead and is sufficiently deep to ensure that the iron article can be buried and, if necessary, worked about therein without exposing the surface of the lead bath.  After the iron is thoroughly fluxed it is plunged into the lead, worked about therein if necessary, and then withdrawn without passing through the flux which is pulled clear, e.g. pushed to one side of the bath, for this purpose.  The coated iron is finally quenched in an aqueous solution of fluxing and cleansing agents.  The flux preferably consists of approximately 35 per cent by weight of zinc chloride and 55 per cent of ammonium chloride bound into a mass by about 10 per cent of sawdust.  Small quantities, e.g. 0,5 per cent, of borax, resin, tallow, and bran may be added.  The aqueous quenching bath preferably consists of a solution containing about 5 per cent of zinc chloride and about 15 per cent of ammonium chloride.  The coated iron is finally dried, e.g. in sawdust.  The temperature to which the iron is heated during the drying following the pickling is preferably that of the molten lead in which it is to be immersed.

Title: Improvements in or relating to puffed cereal products
IPC: A23L1/18
Filed: 1937-03-04
Abstract: Particles of cereal grains, preferably screened for uniform size, are cooked in water in a rotary steam cooker at about 18 lb. pressure and are then dried in a current of cool air till they have a moisture content of approximately 28 to 33 per cent.  The grits are then passed through a separating machine to segregate the particles and are subjected to pressure, as by rolling, to flatten or deform the particles without reducing them to flakes. The flattened particles are dried preferably to a moisture content of about 12 per cent and are subjected to "gun-puffing" finally being dried to a moisture content of about 2 per cent. Whole grains may be used instead of particles.  The product may be flavoured after puffing by the addition of salt, sugar, or saccharine; it may serve as a base to be coated with candy, syrup, or cheese.ALSO:Particles of cereal grains, preferably screened for uniform size, are cooked in water in a rotary steam cooker at about 18 lb. pressure and are then dried in a current of cool air till they have a moisture content of approximately 28 to 33 per cent.

Title: Improvements in and relating to detergent product
IPC: C11D13/00
Filed: 1951-03-19
Abstract: A soap composition is prepared from a mixture of soap, water and a soap-compatible sodium salt by adjusting the salt content to from 1 to 12 per cent and the water content to from 20 to 40 per cent by weight, and subjecting the mixture so formed while in the plastic solid condition to kneading, shearing and compacting treatment under pressure at a temperature below its solidification temperature and below that at which neat soap can exist in stable equilibrium in the system, whereby a product is produced the soap in which is waxy, translucent and predominantly in the beta phase. The salt and water contents are related so that milled soap properties are produced in the mixture upon kneading, shearing or other compacting treatment, such as repeated extrusion through a slit or orifice.  Specified sodium salts are sodium chloride, tetrasodium pyrophosphate, pentasodium tripolyphosphate, trisodium orthophosphate, and sodium silicates of SiO2 : Na2O ratio from about 2 : 1 to about 4 : 1. Graphs of water content and salt content for these compounds suitable for the compositions are given in the Specification.  The system is in a p  plastic solid condition composed essentially of a mixture of a large proportion of solid soap crystals with a small proportion of a fluid soap phase stable at the temperature at which the kneading is carried out and which may be either nigre or middle soap.  The kneading may be carried out between about 80 DEG F and 125 DEG F. Suitable soaps may be prepared from a mixture of about 70 to 85 per cent tallow and about 15 to 30 per cent coconut oil. Other oils of the coconut oil group in which at least 50 per cent by weight of the combined fatty acids are lauric and/or myristic acids may be used. The iodine value of the soap-making fats should be more than 25, and these fats should contain not more than 40 per cent of saturated fatty acids of less than 16 carbon atoms in the molecule and at least 20 per cent by weight of saturated fatty acids of 16 to 22 carbon atoms.  Potassium, ammonium and substituted ammonium soaps may be substituted to a limited extent for the sodium soaps.  In an example soap is prepared from a mixture of 23 per cent coconut oil, 20 per cent marine oil hydrogenated to 70 iodine value and a mixture of 22.8 per cent tallow, 28.5 per cent lard and 5.7 per cent palm oil, the mixture hydrogenated to 49 iodine value.  The soap contained 0.4 per cent sodium chloride and about 30 per cent water.  The sodium chloride content is raised to 2.75 per cent and the hot mixture allowed to solidify.  It is then forced at 110 DEG F through a slit 24 times under pressure to give a firm, homogeneous, waxy, translucent soap.  Specifications 482,535 and 555,034 are referred to.
