Patent GB-488768-A (GB)
Title: Improved process for the production of viscose
IPC: D01F2/08
Filed: 1937-09-07
Abstract: Cellulose fibre in the form of a fluent aqueous suspension of individualized fibre units is thickened to a higher fibre content while still maintaining the fibre thoroughly wet, the thickened wet fibre mass is diluted with caustic soda solution to form a fluent suspension of individualized fibre units, and liquid carbon bisulphide is mixed with the fibre suspension to dissolve it and form viscose.  The initial dilute fibre suspension may be that obtained in chemical wood pulp mills or pulp-refining mills at completion of the bleaching and washing operations.  Concentration of the suspension may be effected on a rotary strainer.  During the xanthation step there may be present a liquid soluble in carbon bisulphide and in the caustic soda solution, and the solubility of the liquid in the alkali may be increased by the addition of soap or other emulsifying agent. The viscose obtained may be used for the production of artificial silk or films. Specification 488,761 is referred to.
Patent GB-383993-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to internal combustion engines of the liquid fuel injection type
IPC: F02B23/06
Filed: 1931-08-31
Abstract: 383,993. Oil engines. SOC. ANON. A. SAURER, Arbon, Switzerland. Aug. 31, 1931, No. 24415. Convention date, Sept. 8, 1930. [Class 7 (iii).] In a compression ignition engine working either on a two-stroke or a four-stroke cycle, both the jet or jets of air 14, issuing from an air pocket 10 through a throttled opening or openings 12, and a fuel jet 13 are directed towards a common point on a hot part of the engine, preferably the piston. The combustion chamber is formed by a recess 8 on the cylinder head and by a depression 4 in the crown of the piston. In a modified construction, the air pocket 10 is located in the cylinder head, the depression in the piston being pear-shape in plan. In either arrangement the air pocket may be water cooled or uncooled. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 also describes a modification shown in Fig. 5 (Cancelled) in which two vertical pockets 22 provide opposed air streams through converging passages 23. Fig. 10 (Cancelled) shows a further modification in which a fuel injector delivers two downwardly inclined jets 36, 36 which meet opposed and converging air streams 39, 41 and 38, 40 near the extremities of an elliptical depression 35 in the piston. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
Patent GB-907133-A (GB)
Title: Table for treating patients with spinal complaints
IPC: A61H1/02
Filed: 1961-07-06
Abstract: 907,133. Spinal traction apparatus. RICKENBACH, O. July 6, 1961 [July 6, 1960], No. 24456/61. Class 81 (2). Spinal traction apparatus comprises an upper part 1, which may be raised and lowered relative to a lower part 2 and on which a trunk tilter 5 is pivotal, and a support 44 attached to the lower part which causes the trunk tilter to pivot to an inclined position when the upper part is lowered. A traction stirrup 6, on which a head rest 11, a shoulder rest 9, and a detachable trunk support 14 are mounted, is slidable on the trunk tilter 5 which is pivotal about an axle 6<SP>1</SP> secured to a top frame 24 of the upper part 1. A leg tilter 3 is pivotal about an axle 4 secured to the top frame. The top frame is supported by four vertical racks 25 which mesh with pinions (not shown) which are carried at each end of shafts 30. The shafts 30 are mounted one at each end of an intermediate frame 26. The lower part comprises a bottom frame 28 supported by castors 27 and has four upstanding racks 29 which also mesh with the pinions. The shafts and pinions are rotated by movement of a slide 34 in the intermediate frame 26, the slide being connected to chains 32 which pass over sprockets 31 on the shafts. The slide is secured to a cylinder 36 in which a piston which is rigidly secured to the intermediate frame is slidable. When oil under pressure is supplied to the cylinder by a pump 70, the cylinder and slide move to rotate the shafts and pinions and thus raise the upper racks and top frame of the upper part into working position. Discharge of oil from the cylinder permits the movement of these parts to be reversed by the weight of the upper part 1 so that the top frame and upper racks are lowered. The trunk tilter is connected by support members 43 to the lower frame so that as the top frame is raised the trunk tilter assumes a horizontal position and as the top frame is lowered into a position in which the patient may easily mount the device the trunk tilter assumes an inclined position. For applying traction to the spine or the neck when the upper part is in raised position, the patient is secured to the traction stirrup by either a belt 16 attached to the trunk support 14 or a head harness 19. A tang 53 on the traction stirrup is then engaged with one of several tangs 52 on a traction slide 46 which is slidable in the upper frame 24. On supplying oil under pressure from the pump 70 through a fixed piston-rod (Fig. 4, not shown), to the piston cylinder (Fig. 4, not shown) on which the traction slide is mounted, the slide is moved to apply traction to the patient. A weight 55 connected to the slide 46 returns the slide to inoperative position when the cylinder is discharged. Oil is supplied to and discharged from the cylinders under the control of members 62, 63, 64 mounted in a control desk 61 at one side of the apparatus. A manual switch 68 enables the patient to cut off the traction if he desires.
Patent GB-1088478-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in installations comprising free piston autogenerators supplying a receiver with gases
IPC: F01B11/04
Filed: 1965-06-09
Abstract: 1, 088, 478. Plant comprising free piston gas generators; gas turbine plant. SOCIETE D'ETUDES ET DE PARTICIPATIONS EAU, GAZ, ELECTRICITIE, ENERGIE, S.A. June 9, 1965 [June 10, 1964], No.24485/65. Headings F1G and F1Q. A combustion product plant comprises free piston gas generators 3 one only of which is shown each of which is provided with exhaust means 6, a collector 1, communication means between each of the exhaust means and the collector, a three way valve system 7 within the communication means, the three way valve system comprising a chamber connected to the associated exhaust means the collector and a space under low-pressure, e.g. the atmosphere, a valve member 8 in the chamber which in a first extreme position connects the exhaust means to the collector only, in a second extreme position (shown) connects the exhaust means to the space only, and in intermediate positions between the extreme positions provides throttled communications of the exhaust means with both the collector and the space, the valve member being shaped such that the sections of the respective throttled communications vary as a function of the respective distances between any intermediate position and the extreme positions respectively of the valve member, means 13 operative to move the valve member in either direction between the first and second respective extreme positions and means for restraining the speed of motion of the valve from the second extreme position where it connects the exhaust means to the space only toward the first extreme position where it connects the exhaust means to the collector only. In order to maintain the valve member 8 in the position of Fig. 1 the electrovalve 29 is also in the position shown in Fig. 1. When it is desired to connect the gas generator 3 after its starting with the collector 1 the electrovalve 29 is brought into the position in which it connects the conduits 28 and 30 thus opening communication between the accumulator 20 and the cylinder 26. The valve 19 moves to a position in which it closes the opening 18, The pressure still existing in the compartment a thus causes the motion first of the piston 13 slowly towards the right side against the resistance of liquid contained in the compartment b and which escapes through the conduits 21 and 23 and throttles 22, 24. After piston 13 has contacted the extension 17a of the piston 17 the latter starts to move to the right also, this motion being also slowed down owing to the fact that the piston 17 must drive out the liquid contained in the compartment c through the conduit 23 and throttle 24. The valve 8 may be moved to an intermediate position in which the piston 17 is stopped by its application against the abutment shoulder 32. A number of modifications of the operating system for the valve 8 are described.

Patent GB-1115186-A (GB)
Title: Epoxidation process
Inventor: RUSSELL JOSEPH LEE
IPC: C07D301/19
Filed: 1965-06-10
Abstract: Epoxides are made by reacting an olefinically unsaturated compound with an aralkyl hydroperoxide, derived from an aralkane having at least one hydrogen atom on a carbon adjacent to the aromatic ring system, in the liquid phase in the presence of a metal epoxidation catalyst to produce a product mixture containing unreacted hydroperoxide, in addition to an epoxy compound and the alcohol formed from the hydroperoxide, reacting the unreacted hydroperoxide with hydrogen to reduce it to the corresponding alcohol and recovering the epoxy compound, either before or after reduction of the unreacted hydroperoxide, the total amount of hydroperoxide fed to the reaction being 0.01-50 mols per mol olefinic group in the unsaturated reactant.  The preferred catalysts are compounds of V, Mo, W and Se, particularly organic compounds which are soluble in the reaction medium.  Cumene and ethylbenzene hydroperoxides are the preferred hydroperoxides.  The olefinic reactant may be an olefine or an unsaturated ether, ester, alcohol, ketone or halide.  The epoxide may be removed from the product mixture before the hydrogenation step which may then be effected at, e.g. temperatures below 100 DEG  C. and pressures below 500 p.s.i.g. in the presence of a Pd hydrogenation catalyst. If the epoxide remains in product mixture, hydrogenation should be effected under milder conditions, e.g. at temperatures below 60 DEG  C. and pressures below 500 p.s.i.g. preferably using a Ni/kieselguhr catalyst.  During the reduction of the hydroperoxide the alcohol produced in the epoxidation reaction may be hydrogenated to the corresponding aralkane.  This aralkane may be oxidized with molecular oxygen in the presence of an oxidation initiator to yield the corresponding aralkyl hydroperoxide which may be recycled to the epoxidation stage.  Examples relate to the preparation of propylene oxide using cumene hydroperoxide, the unreacted portion of which is reduced to cumyl alcohol with co-production of cumene which is oxidized in the presence of t-butylperbenzoate to cumene hydroperoxide.
