IPC: B65D5/52
Filed: 1923-11-30
Abstract: 229,764. Shirley, F. J. Nov. 30, 1923. Boxes combined with supports; boxes formed from special blanks.-In a box provided with a strut-section for supporting it in a tilted position, the strut-section is mounted so as to move on its own plane against a section of the box when being brought to and from its operated position, the lower end of the strut-section, in its operative position, being free and resting on a support and the upper end thereof being operatively connected to a part of the box to support the same. Four blanks are described which, when made up, give boxes having one or more of the vertical walls of double thickness to receive any one of the four strut-sections described, the strut-sections sliding between the two thicknesses of one of the walls which are preferably spaced apart to provide a guide-way for the section. The blank shown in Fig. 1 produces the box shown in Fig. 2 'which has three double vertical walls, a strut-section 73, Fig. 11, being held between the members 8, 9 of the box and sliding in its own plane from the inoperative position, Fig. 12, to the operative position, Fig. 13; the strut-section may have one or more flaps 76 projecting therefrom and engaging the underside of the box or the support upon which the box rests or both the box and the support to retain the strut in the operative position. In the inoperative position the flaps fold on to the strut-section and are received between the members 8, 9; foldable tongues hinged on the lines 73<a> may be cut from the flaps to retain the strut-section in various positions to vary the angle at which the box may be tilted; shoulders 78<a> may be provided to engage the box and limit the movement of the strut-section; a lid section 75, which may be cut and scored as shown to form a display section, may be connected to the upper edge of the strut-section. In a fifth blank a pair of strut-sections are hingedly connected to a section also hingedly connected to the bottom of the box, the strut-sections sliding between the double thicknesses of two opposite side walls and, in the operative position, being hinged about the connecting section so as to be under and engage the underside of the box and the support. The strut-section may be mounted between the thicknesses of a double bottom and hinged to a support so that, after being slid from the bottom, the strut-section can be swung down about the hinge into position to support the box. Specification 209,982 is referred to.

Abstract: 428,586. Casting anti-friction metal on bearings &c. TRIONE, G., 15, Corso Principe Eugenio, CuorgnÚ, Aosta, Italy. Oct. 22, 1934, No. 30296. Convention date, March 27. [Class 83 (i)] In a process for casting anti-friction alloys on ferrous articles such as bearings, the body to be coated is introduced into a mould adapted for the free flow of the casting metal, which is run through to bring the parts to the casting temperature, after which the excess casting metal in the mould is displaced by the introduction of a suitable core or mould member of a lower temperature which limits internally or externally the space for the casting metal and also cools it. The mould 8, Fig. 1, filled with earth or sand 2 is adapted to allow molten metal to pass freely through it to heat the bearing 5 which is to be lined with anti-friction alloy ; the core 1 may be of earth, sand or metal and if of the former two, may be reinforced with metal 3, vent holes 7 are provided and a threaded bush 6 facilitates lifting the core. The part to be coated is first cleaned in baths of caustic soda, sulphur and lastly cold water and then dipped in a borax solution and dried prior to placing in the mould. Molten bearing metal is then run through the mould until the part to be coated is heated to the temperature of the molten metal ; the cold core is then introduced to produce a coating of the desired thickness. A vertical arrangement for lining a sleeve 15, Fig. 7, may be employed in which molten metal is fed into the mould through a U-tube 14 and a modified vertical arrangement is described for coating the outside of a sleeve.

The particles are preferably coke of size less than 3 mm., and the coal is preferably of size 3 to 20 mm.  Fresh coal enters at 4, distillation gases leave via louvres 7 and a chamber 6, fluidizing gas, e.g. air, enters at 9, 10, and a loss of particles is compensated for by introducing fresh particles either at 4 or 11.  In a modified apparatus, Fig. 2 (not shown), the reactors 1 and 2 are separate.  A carbonization temperature of 750 DEG  C. for times of 30 seconds and 45 seconds is mentioned.

Title: Improvements in the production of magnetic iron oxides
IPC: G11B5/706
Filed: 1950-12-21
Abstract: Magnetic iron oxide, suitable for the production of magnetic recorders, is prepared by burning iron carbonyl while supplying only such an amount of oxygen that the resulting product has atomic ratio of oxygen to iron of less than 3:2.  Combustion may take place at a burner nozzle at a temperature of 100 to 1500 DEG C, the temperature being varied by preheating the air used, or by adding oxygen or nitrogen, &c. thereto, or by employing oxygen alone, or by admixing other combustible gases or liquids, or by thermally insulating or cooling the combustion chamber.  Other substances, e.g. silicon or tin tetrachlorides, or finely divided aluminium or silicon oxides, may be introduced with the air, or into the combustion chamber, or into the combustion products. Steam, &c. may also be added.  The iron (ferrosoferric) oxide produced may be oxidized whilst still in suspension at temperatures below 500 DEG C, or even above this temperature if the products are cooled rapidly, by introducing further amounts of air or oxygen, to produce magnetic g -ferric oxide.
