Abstract: 1379770 Baling press M WESTERFELD [trading as PAAL'S PACKPRESSEN-FABRIK KG] 4 Feb 1972 [4 Feb 1971] 5296/72 Heading B5F A press for baling waste paper comprises a pressing channel 1 and ram 2, a pivotable wire cutting and damping device 10 and a wire twisting mechanism 13. Wire 5 is pulled over the leading, upper and lower sides of a bale, e.g. 4 from a reel 7 and a raised hooked needle 8 by the bale as it is being formed. The upper portion of the wire 5 is directed rearwardly by a transverse member 19 and held inclined above the upper side by a magnet 6. To pull the wire 5 up along the trailing side of the bale, the needle 8 reciprocates to draw a loop of wire from the reel 7. Jaws 12 on a piston 11 and cylinder of the device 10 then cut the wire loop, clamp the portion beneath the cut and carry the portion to cross that already on the upper side of the bale as the device 10 is swung downwardly. The twisting mechanism 13 is lowered so that the crossed ends of the wire 5 can be gripped by pincers 17 closed against the action of a tongue (16, Fig. 1) by relative downward movement of a cylinder 14. The latter also urges the wire ends through a channel slot to hold them against the bale (Fig. 3), so that they can be twisted together when a piston-rod 15 attached to the pincers 17 is rotated via a sprocket 18. More than one bale may be baled simultaneously by providing additional sets of the binding apparatus. Bales of different lengths may be accommodated by varying the stroke of the needle 8.

Title: Production of cyclohexylamine and of epsilon-caprolactam
IPC: C07C29/52
Filed: 1964-02-11
Abstract: Cyclohexylamine is produced from cyclohexane by reacting the latter in liquid form with oxygen at an elevated temperature and pressure preferably in the presence of a boron compound to produce an oxygenated cyclohexane material, separating the latter and reacting it with ammonia in the presence of hydrogen and a hydrogenating catalyst e.g. nickle-on-alumina at an elevated temperature preferably from 150-250 DEG  C. and an elevated pressure preferably from 5-250 atmospheres.  The cyclohexylamine is reacted with hydrogen peroxide preferably at a temperature from 0-20 DEG  C. in the presence of tungstate catalyst to produce a cyclohexanone-oxime material, separating the latter and subjecting it to rearrangement in the presence of concentrated sulphuric acid to produce e -caprolactam. The cyclohexylamine which is reacted with hydrogen peroxide preferably contains a small portion of cyclohexanone to minimise formation of an additional amount thereof and the action is preferably carried out in the presence of a sequestering agent such as 2,6-dipicolinic acid whereby the reaction may be effected at a higher temperature up to 75 DEG  C. An example illustrates the preparation of cyclohexylamine which is reacted with hydrogen peroxide to produce cyclohexanone oxime which is then reacted with concentrated sulphuric acid to produce e -caprolactam from which on separation Nylon-6 may be obtained.

Making chains; bending-formers; shearing- adjuncts.-In a machine for making chains having two alternately acting mandrels cooperating with two wire feeds and two sets of bending jaws, each mandrel is ejected from the last formed link by its wire feeding device so as to ensure interlinking of wires which are not straight. The two sets of bending jaws 4, 5 are raised alternately by cam-operated rods and levers 4<a>, 5<a>, and 4<e>, 5<e> after each link is formed so as to bring it into interlocking position, the jaws at the same time tilting the blocks 3, 2 carrying the wire feeds on their pivots 3<a>, 2<a> so as to move them out of the way. The wires a, b are fed by spring returned slides 3<m>, 2<m>, which are moved forward by levers 3b, 2b pivoted thereto at 3<g>, 2<g> and connected to levers 3<c>, 2<c> oscillated by camoperated levers 3<e>, 2<e>. The wires are clamped in the slides by pins 3<h> pushed down by the levers 3<b>, 2<b>. The wires are held stationary during return of the slides by plungers 3<k>, 2<k> operated by cams and levers. The wires are forced into the jaws to bend them into U-shape by mandrels 6<f>, 7<f> respectively slidably mounted in supports 6, 7 which are forced down against the action of springs by cam-operated levers. The mandrels are normally pressed forward in their supports by springs 6<a>, 7<a>. When the wire b is fed forward its end passes into a recess in the end of the mandrel 7<f> on which the previous link is held between its bending jaws. Thereupon the mandrel 7<f> is pushed back by a rod 2i on the feed member 2<m> engaging a rod 7<g> carried by this mandrel, and the wire at the same time moves forward through the link. The wire is cut by one of a pair of cutters 10 carried by a lever pushed down by a rod and cam-operated levers. The wire is pushed into the jaws by the mandrel 6<f> and bending is completed by a die 9 pushed duwn by a cam-operated lever. The cutter and die are operated twice in every revolution of the cam shaft.
