Fuel gas rich in the lower paraffins is made by adding to a liquid hydrocarbon from 0À5 to 5 times its weight of water, and reacting the mixture at temperatures of from 400‹ to 800‹ C. and a pressure of 300 to 900 atmospheres. Feedstocks include light naphtha, crude petroleum, petroleum distillates and residues, liquefied gaseous hydrocarbons, and in a specific example, ethylbenzene. Carbon black and various specified polynuclear hydrocarbons may be formed, and aromatics may be withdrawn from the reaction vessel and used for heating the vessel. The process may be batch or continuous. Three specific examples are described.

Abstract: 987,473. Insulated pipes. SVENSKA METALLVERKEN A.B. June 21, 1962 [June 22, 1961], No. 23979/62. Heading F2P. A method for the continuous production of insulated hot water and &c. pipes comprises advancing the pipe in the direction of its length and wrapping sheets or strips of insulating material around the pipe with the aid of funnellike dies, or spraying foamed plastic on the pipe, and shaping and securing the insulation by wires or strips which are fastened or welded in position. Insulating material such as glass fibres or rockwool may be mixed with plastic binding means which acts as an adhesive and partly as a shaping means. The pipe may be rotated or the insulating strips may be wound around the pipe. The insulation can be protected by plastic or other strips pasted, welded extruded or vulcanized to form a tight sealing cover.

Title: Improvements in and relating to cooking ovens and like culinary domestic appliances
IPC: F24C15/02
Filed: 1952-09-25
Abstract: 731,692. Ovens. EVERING- TON, F. W. Sept. 24, 1953 [Sept. 25, 1952; Oct. 16, 1952], Nos. 24030/52 and 25929/52. Class 126. In a cooking oven or like culinary appliance having a vertically mounted door giving access to the oven interior, a lining plate is attached to the inside of the door and an oven tray is provided having a back bar, the means of attachment of the tray being by keyhole-shaped slots in the back bar for engagement with one or other of vertically spaced pairs of studs carried by the plate. As shown (Fig. 1) the door D of an oven O provided with the usual shelves within its interior T carries an auxiliary shelf A, this shelf being attached to the door in one of three alternative positions by the interengagement of keyhole slots 12 and studs 11. In a modification (Fig. 2) the shelf A is attached by means of keyholes 12 and studs 11 to a plate 20 which is slidably mounted on the inner side of the door D. This mounting is effected by securing to the door a U-shaped run-way 15 and a rail 16 the plate 20 being so shaped along its upper edge that it may carry rollers which run within the groove of the run-way 15. A bracket 22 secured to the plate at its lower edge engages the rail 16. By the provision of a bar 25 pivotally engaging the oven at 26 and the plate at 27, the shelf A is made to slide into a position centrally of the oven side walls as the door is closed. A corner of the shelf may be bevelled as at 5 so as to prevent fouling of the side of the oven when the door opens and closes. In a modified construction two brackets such as 22 are fitted. To remove the plate 20 shown in Fig. 2, by sliding it off the open end of the run-way 15, the link 25 may be fastened to the plate by means of a quick-release pin. An alternative method of plate removal is to provide cut-aways in the plate top and bottom such that in a particular plate position with the link disconnected the cut-aways and rollers and bracket or brackets coincide such that the plate may be removed by pulling forward.

Abstract: 809,750. Television. PHILIPS ELECTRICAL INDUSTRIES Ltd. Aug. 10, 1956 [Aug. 13, 1955], No. 24556/56. Class 40 (3). In an arrangement for recording interlaced pictures produced by a tube 1 on continuously moving kinematographic film 2 by projecting an image of the picture over two paths spaced in the direction of film motion (which is the same as the direction of the frame scanning of tube 1) each path including spaced lens elements 7, 8 and being obturated alternately at frame scanning rate by means of a rotating shutter 11 so that successive pairs of frames are recorded as a complete interlaced picture, the correctness of the spacing of the lens elements 7, 8 (on which the correctness of interlacing in the recorded picture depends) is monitored by displaying on a further tube 21 a series of pulses generated by the interruption by the film sprocket holes of two spaced light beams which traverse respective ones of the lenses 7, 8 and are alternately projected via shutter 11 on the film edge and through the sprocket holes to a photo-electric cell 17. The latter produces during each frame-scanning period a number of pulses equal to the number of sprocket holes which interrupt the light beam appropriate to the particular frame (odd or even) considered and these pulses are displayed as vertical deflections of the beam of tube 21 the horizontal deflection of which is effected at the frame (vertical) scanning rate of tube 1 by means of scanning generator 4. The spacing of the lens elements 7, 8 is then adjusted to make the pulses produced during each horizontal trace on tube 21 coincide in which condition correct interlacing of the frames results.

Title: Improvements in water heating and hot water supplying apparatus
IPC: F24H9/20
Filed: 1957-08-07
Abstract: 871,333. Electric water heaters. KENDON DEVELOPMENTS Ltd. Aug. 7, 1957 [Aug. 22, 1956], No. 24918/57. Class 39(3). [Also in Group XIII] A cylindrical water container 1, mounted in an outer box 2 containing lagging material 3, has heating means such as an electric heating element 4 attached, e.g. by brazing 4a, to a thermostat pocket 5. An inlet pipe 6, which may include a one-way check valve 7, enters the container 1 at a level just above that of the pocket 5 and extends to the middle of the container 1. An electric solenoid valve 8 is connected to the water supply which is controlled at the desired pressure by a header tank 9 or a pressure reducing valve 10. A back-pressure-opening water control 11 set to close at for example, two lbs. per square inch above atmosphere is also connected to the water supply and by-passes the valve 8, being "teed" into an expansion or vent pipe 12 which has an air bleed hole 13 at the top of the inside of container 1. An outlet pipe 14 has one or more taps 15, and a cock 16 is provided for filling and draining. The element 4 and the solenoid valve 8 are connected in series to the current supply source, and a thermostatically operated switch 5a is connected in parallel with the valve 8. With the switch 5a open the element is inoperative and the solenoid coil fully energised, the valve being then open; with the switch 5a closed, the element is energized and the solenoid coil  short-circuited, the valve then being closed. In operation, the container is filled by opening the cock 16, air passing through the hole 13 into the expansion pipe 12. The element 4 is then energized to raise the temperature of the water to the point at which the thermostat is set, e.g. 225F., when the switch 5a will open, energizing the solenoid coil to open the valve 8, and switching off the element. At this stage, pressure in the tank will be higher than that of the water supply. On drawing off hot water from the tap 15, the pressure in the container will drop and cold water will enter through the valve 8 and the control valve 11 causing the switch 5a to close, thus energizing the element 4 and closing the valve 8, water continuing to enter in reduced quantities through the valve 11 which will close when the container is full. The water temperature will then rise until the thermostat again operates to switch off the element and open the valve 8. The valve 11 may be omitted, and the pressure in the tank controlled by a pressure switch. A pressure retaining valve 17 (Fig. 2, not shown) may replace the vent pipe 12. When the thermostat is set for a little below atmospheric boiling point the header tank 9 may be arranged with its float controlled level just below the top of the container 1 (Fig. 3, not shown), the expansion pipe being connected to the header tank and having an evaporation trap. Specification 779,749 is referred to.
