Title: Improvements relating to homogenizing apparatus for emulsifying liquids
IPC: B01F5/06
Filed: 1937-10-18
Abstract: Homogenizing apparatus for emulsifying liquid mixtures comprises a restricted orifice 1 terminating in an annular conically-formed surface 3 to which the materials are delivered under pressure.  A spherical ball 4 is seated on the annulus 3, and a suitable pressure is applied by the spring 5.  The materials are emulsified by passage between the ball and the annulus and are delivered through orifice 12.  Leakage past the spring pad 7 is prevented by gland 15 and packing 16.  The radius of curvature of the spherical ball is about 3 times or more and preferably at least 4 times the width of the annulus 3, and the radii of the ball 4 and the aperture 1 are preferably in the ratio of 8 to 5. The annular surface is preferably <PICT:0494204/III/1> flat, but may be convex, e.g. the cross-section may be arcuate, having a radius not substantially larger than the radius of ball 4.  The device may be used for the preparation of ice-cream, bituminous emulsions, and the pressure applied to the ball will vary according to the materials, and the degree of viscosity required, e.g. a pressure of 600 lb. sq. in. is suitable for a cod-liver oil emulsion.

Abstract: 506,140. Elastic fluid turbines. BOEK, R. Sept. 29, 1938, No. 28350. Convention date, Oct. 7, 1937. [Class 110 (iii)] A marine turbine has steam flowing in series through separate casings 3, 6, as shown, for cruising purposes, but in parallel through the casings 3, 6 (including a stage 8 in the latter) when full speed is required.

Filed: 1921-10-26
Abstract: 188,513. British Thomson - Houston Co., Ltd., (General Electric Co.). Oct. 26, 1921. Automatic circuit-breakers; oil switches; locking.-In order to prevent the high pressures which are developed in the oil tank from forcing the movable contact-carrying member back into the closed position when the switch is tripped to open, the toggle linkage system for closing the switch is extended to constitute a second toggle which becomes overset in the off position and consequently locks the switch. As shown, the operating rod 5, which moves into the oil tank to open the switch is connected with a link 8 to which one link 14 of the closure-producing toggle 14, 13 is jointed. The toggle 14, 13 is operated by the handle 19 through a tripping toggle and a link 16. According to the invention the link 14 is extended at 10 to constitute one arm of a locking toggle 10, 11 which takes up the overset locking position when the circuit-breaker is open and so prevents any backward movement of the contact-member except at the instance of the operating handle 19.

Title: Improvements in or relating to jigging elevators
IPC: B65G27/00
Filed: 1953-10-15
Abstract: 758,836. Jigging conveyers. BERGTECHNIK GES. Oct. 15, 1953 [July 23, 1953], No. 28514/53. Class 78 (1). A mobile loading machine comprising a jigging shoot 21, Fig. 5, and a wide-mouthed shovel 22, is actuated by a double-acting compressed air motor 1, the supply of air to the input side of which is controlled by a differential piston valve 3, Fig. 1, which is actuated periodically in such manner that during one phase of operation of the machine, the supply of air is partially, or wholly, shut off at the end of the piston stroke in one direction and the stroke of the piston in the opposite direction takes place with reduced, or no, admission of air to the motor and under the influence of gravity. Cams 12, 13 on the reciprocating part of the motor actuate valves 7, 8. The input side of the valve 7 is connected by a pipe 9 to the air supply pipe 2 and a pipe 10 connects its output side to the head of the valve 3. Independently controlled valves 4, 5 arranged in the cylinder head are connected respectively to exhaust and to the pipe 2. When the parts are in the position shown in Fig. 1, the machine is at rest. When the valve 4 is opened and the valve 5 closed, the valve 3 opens and air passes to the motor, being admitted alternately to opposite ends of the cylinder. The shovel 22 is pushed into and out of the material and transfers it to the shoot 21. When force is applied by the motor to the shoot only in the upward direction, the material passes up the shoot and on to a conveyer which delivers to a vehicle. When this is to be done, the valve 4 is closed. As the reciprocating part of the motor moves upward, the cam 12 opens the valve 7 and air flows from the pipe 2 through the pipes 9, 10 to the head of valve 3. This valve closes and the stroke of the motor in the downward direction is effected by the mass of the shoot and material. When the valve 8 is engaged by the cam 13, it is opened and the escape of air reverses the loading on the valve 3. Accordingly, this valve opens and air is admitted to the motor to move the shoot upwards.
