Abstract: 704,047. Coke ovens. KOPPERS CO., Inc. Jan. 22, 1952 [July 14, 1951], No. 1783/52. Classes 51 (1) and 51 (2) In a regeneratively heated coke oven of the compound underjet type in which waste gas recirculation ducts below the sole channels interconnect " on " and " off " rich gas risers separated from each other by the sole channels and corresponding regenerators, leakage of air between an " on " sole channel 36 and a waste gas recirculation duct 34 is prevented by the insertion of a stainless steel plate 52 between the fireclay duct 34 and the surrounding silica brickwork 41 mounted on the concrete oven mat 38. Because of the different expansion of the silica brickwork compared with the fireclay of the duct 34 and the concrete of the mat 38, expansion gaps 40 extend from the former to the latter through the silica brickwork. The rich gas risers 26, 26<SP>1</SP> are formed with venturi throats 28 co-operating with the nozzles 30 removably mounted on metal conduits 32 connected by flexible tubes 48 in the basement space to rich gas headers 50, the nozzles 30 being disposed in orifice members 60 formed in the recirculation ducts 34. In a modification, Fig. 4, the relative positioning of each nozzle 30 and its rich gas riser 26 is preserved by making a composite recirculation duct 34 with riser extensions 58 in the form of a cast metal trough 63 disposed in a larger open pocket 55 in the concrete mat 38 and lined with fireclay blocks 56. The trough 63 is formed with flanges 64 seated in ledges 65 formed round the periphery of the pocket 55 so that the upper levels of the trough and of the concrete mat are coincident and ribs 66 on the flanges 64 enter corresponding recesses formed in the upper silica brickwork 25' thus fixing the relative positions of the rich gas risers 26, 26<SP>1</SP> in this brickwork and the recirculation duct 34 with its fittings. This modification is also fitted with the stainless steel plates 52. Each nozzle 30 is screwed into an orifice member secured to the line 32 and engaging ports in the metal trough 63. In a further modification, Fig. 8, still having the stainless steel plates 52 and the trough 63 each riser extension 58 comprises a vertical duct 34' leading to a forked vertical duct 68 in the silica walls 25' having extensions 69 leading to the risers 26. Specifications 448,282, 547,186, 605,632 and 704,060 are referred to.

Title: Piston assembly
IPC: F16J9/06
Filed: 1967-01-13
Abstract: 1,117,572. Pistons. WORTHINGTON CORPORATION. 13 Jan., 1967 [1 Feb., 1966], No. 1956/67. Heading F2T. In a piston and ring assembly comprising piston rings 40 urged radially outwardly by resilient means, e.g. springs 58, clamping means are provided by which the rings may be locked in position radially. The rings 40 are mounted on ring discs 20 spaced alternately with spacer rings 18 on a rod 10 between a shoulder 16 and a threaded end 14 of the rod. The ring discs 20 are of less axial width than the piston rings. A guide ring 66 having axial grooves 76 in its outer periphery is mounted between the two central spacer rings 18 on a guide disc 60 having an axial width less than the ring 66. The piston rings 40 and guide ring 66 are urged radially outward by springs 58 and 84 housed in recesses 56 and 82 in discs 20 and 60 respectively and may be clamped between the spacer rings 18 by means of a nut 36 on the rod end 14 abutting a compression disc 30. To assemble the piston in the cylinder bore 12 the rings 40 are compressed to a diameter less than that of the bore, and locked in that radial position by tightening the nut 36 so that the springs 58 and 84 become ineffective. When the piston is in the cylinder the nut 36 is loosened whereby each piston ring 40 and the guide ring 66 expands into contact with the bore 12 and the nut 36 is then again tightened. In use, after a running- in period, a small clearance (114), Fig. 4 (not shown) exists between the rings 40 and the cylinder wall 12. The guide ring 66 may be omitted if the piston is relatively light or vertically reciprocating. The piston rings 40 and guide ring 66 are split and may be of carbon. After a long period of wear the radial positions of the rings 40 and 66 may be adjusted by loosening the nut 36 to permit the rings to expand against the cylinder wall and then tightening the nut again. In a modification Fig. 2 (not shown) the discs 20 and spacer rings 18 are replaced by combined ring mounting and spacing discs (86).

Abstract: 1279217 Making and dewatering microcapsules NATIONAL CASH REGISTER CO 19 Jan 1971 [2 Feb 1970] 2479/71 Heading B8C Microcapsules having solid or liquid, substantially water-immiscible cores surrounded by gelatine-containing walls are prepared by establishing an agitated aqueous system containing gelatine (and, optionally, other polymeric materials, e.g. gum arabic or poly- (alkylene - co - maleic anhydride)) and a water-soluble sulphosuccinate or organic phosphate ester, adjusting the pH and temperature to cause emergence of a complex coacervate of gelatine and the sulphosuccinate or phosphate ester (and other polymers if present), which coacervate is dispersed by agitation in the residual vehicle, and cooling the system to cause the coacervate phase to deposit on and encapsulate the core material which is previously dispersed in the system. Hardening of the capsule walls may be carried out in the normal ways but is usually unnecessary. In an alternative embodiment, the invention comprises the method of dewatering the gelatinecontaining shells of embryo microcapsules formed by coacervation by establishing an agitated aqueous dispersion of the embryo capsules to which is added a water-soluble sulphosuccinate or organic phosphate ester. The pH is then adjusted to a point whereby the capsule walls are densified by dewatering. Again hardening of the capsule walls of the product is unnecessary. Suitable sulphosuccinates are sulphosuccinate esters of fatty acid alkanolamides and alkyl and dialkyl sulphosuccinates. Suitable organic phosphates are simple organic phosphate esters and diesters and phosphate ester salts of hydroxyl-terminated aliphatic and aromatic alkoxide condensates, eg. of the formula R.C 6 H 4 . (OCH 2 .CH 2 )v.O.PO(OH) 2  where R is alkyl and n is an integer between 1 and 40.
