Title: Apparatus for and Method of Recovering Fats.
Inventor: DEHN FRANK BERNHARD
IPC: C11B13/00
Filed: 1917-07-03
Abstract: 116,384. Dehn, F. B., (National Sanitary Service Co.). July 3, 1917. Plant.-Fat is recovered from waste liquids, such as slaughter-house refuse liquid, by first precipitating the heavy sediment and then passing the liquid thus freed through a tank of known construction wherein a relatively large still body of liquid is maintained above an underlying accelerating current of the same, the fat separating in the still area and the waste being drawn off below. The liquid is passed under pressure through an inlet 23 into a tank 21 and strikes a deflector 29 inclined towards a higher outlet 10, and the heavy sediment falls to the bottom of this tank, the lower part of which is larger than the top. The bottom of this tank slopes downwards and is provided with a drain pipe fitted with a valve 28. In passing into the fat-separating tank 5, the liquid meets a baffle 19 which directs it along the sloping bottom 8 to a channel 13 behind a baffle 14 and to the adjustable, outlet 12. The sides of the tank 5 converge downwardly to accelerate the stream of liquid. The fat separates in the still area between the baffles 19, 14 and escapes by overflow outlets 16. A drain 17 is provided on the tank 5, and a perforated cover 3 permits wash water from the slaughter-house floor to enter the tank 21.

Abstract: 194,950. Anson, M. T. April 4, 1922. Counting-apparatus; zeroizing and detent mechanism.-The numeral discs are zeroized by coil springs each attached at one end to a wheel geared to the disc and at the other end to the detent pawl for the disc. The discs are mounted on sleeves 3 supported on pintles secured to the base plate 9 and are provided with transfer dogs 4 and co-operating star-wheels 11. The train is driven by a pawl 6 carried by a reciprocated lever 7. Each disc is provided with a gear wheel 12 having a club tooth 12<a> and with a ratchet wheel 18. The wheel 12 meshes with a mutilated gear wheel 13 to which is attached one end of a coiled spring 15 secured at its other end to a detent pawl 17 engaging with the ratchet wheel 18. To economize space the detent pawls of neighbouring discs are mounted coaxiallv as shown at 19. In order to zeroize the counter, an external knob is turned so as to move in opposite directions a pair of superposed plates 22, 23 formed with abutments 30 for engaging the arms 20 of the pawls and thus releasing them from the ratchet wheels to allow the springs to rotate the discs back to zero. An extension 31 of plate 22 serves to disengage the actuating pawl from the ratchet wheel 5.

Abstract: 454,101. Cork structures. GREEN, H. C., 7, Oakwood Avenue, Southall, Middlesex. March 28, 1935, No. 9676. [Class 145 (i)] [See also Group X] Cork structures, such as pads, slabs, mats, surfaces, liners, &c., for use as insulation against heat, sound or vibration and as resilient supports, are formed from a number of strip-like sections of cork wood assembled in laminations ; the strip sections B<1>, B<2>, Fig. 1, are cut from the wood A in a direction normal to the cork lines, i.e. parallel to the radial grain. The strips so obtained may be further subdivided. The strips may be arranged haphazardly, Fig. 3, or regularly, Fig. 4. The central layer may comprise strips arranged haphazardly and the outer layers and strips arranged regularly. Different-sized strips may be employed, either indiscriminately or in layers each containing pieces of approximately uniform dimensions. The voids in the surface layers may be filled in with cork dust, chips or granules ; the voids in the body of the structure may be similarly filled. The structure may comprise strip layers alternating with layers of cork dust or granules. In the manufacture the structure is subjected to heat and pressure, adhesion being secured by the natural resin in the cork or by added adhesives.

Title: Improvements in or relating to abrasive coated sheet material
IPC: B24D11/00
Filed: 1944-05-19
Abstract: 595,675. Abrasive - coated sheets. STEVENS, A. H. (Minnesota Mining & Manufacturing Co.). May 19, 1944, No. 9684. [Class 60] In making abrasive-coated sheet material, the abrasive particles, before application to an adhesive-coated sheet, are treated with a substance which will with the adhesive to harden or cure it at the of anchorage to prevent movement of the particles after application. The abrasive particles may be elongated and deposited on the adhesivecoated backing with their longer axes parallel to each other, e.g. using an electrostatic field. The binder may be glue and the hardening agent applied to the abrasive particles may be a tanning agent such as potassium dichromate alone or mixed with sodium acid sulphite or sodium thiosulphate, tannic acid, quebracho extract, wattle bark extract, quinone, tartaric acid, ferrous sulphate, lead acetate, aluminium sulphate, chromic sulphate, basic chromic sulphate, potassium chromium sulphate, ferriammonium sulphate, zinc sulphate, ferric chloride, barium chloride, paraformaldehyde, sulphamic acid, oxalic acid sorbitol, and synthetic tanning agents such as those sold under the trade names Leukanol R and Tamol NNO. The tanning agents may be applied as aqueous solutions and then dried. The inorganic substances may be fired on. Alternatively, the adhesive may be a hardening synthetic resin and the curing or hardening agent may be phosphorus pentoxide, paratoluene sulphonyl dichloride or urea nitrate, or the adhesive may be a drying oil or drying-oil-modified alkyd resin and the hardening agent a drier such as ferric chloride, cobalt or lead acetate, manganese dioxide or borate, or a heavy metal naphthenate applied in alcoholic solution, or the adhesive may be a polyvinyl resin and the reactant a polymerization catalyst such as benzoyl peroxide or ammonium persulphate. Application of certain hardening agents tends to dry the abrasive particles and reduce their responsiveness to an electric field. This may be restored by applying with the hardening agent or separately a hydrogroscopic material such as calcium chloride.

Title: Load-dependent brake valve
IPC: B60T8/18
Filed: 1975-03-07
Abstract: 1503020 Load - responsive brake valves KNORR-BREMSE GmbH 7 March 1975 [9 March 1974] 9714/75 Heading F2F A load-dependent brake valve arrangement for a railway or motor vehicle pneumatic brake comprises a first piston 9 movable to supply pressure medium to the brake cylinder, a second piston 10 coaxial with the first and movable in response to the supply of control pressure thereto and a variable lever-arm transmission associated with the pistons so that displacement of the second piston is accompanied by displacement of the first piston. The transmission includes three levers 11 extending outwardly of the common axis of the pistons and each acting at one end on an abutment A in the housing 12 and at the other end on the first piston 9 at C there being an adjustable pivot B intermediate the ends of each lever and engageable by the second piston. The pivots B are equally spaced from the common axis and adjustable conjointly relative to the axis by a control element rotatable about the axis, as a function of variation in vehicle load, to vary the ratio of displacement of the first portion relative to the second piston. Adjustment may be performed by means of a disc 14 having control slits 28 and located between guide discs 13 formed with radial slots 26, pins 15 forming the pivots being displaced radially as disc 14 is rotated. Alternatively the pins 15 may be replaced by balls guided in tracks of semicircular cross-section. The disc 14 may form the face of piston 10 and the radial tracks 26 may be arranged in levers 11 instead of in the disc. The application of pressure Cv at inlet 5 raises the two pistons 9, 10 against a spring to admit actuating air R past a valve to an outlet 7. The pistons therefore balance operating pressure C against the pressure Cv in the ratio given by the leverage ratio of the levers 11. In the embodiment shown in Fig. 10 a loadresponsive actuator has a two stage operation, a low load stage where two pistons 18, 29 operate in tandem under load-responsive pressure T, and one set of brake cylinders is operated via line C 1 , and a high load stage in which the pressure T only acts on the piston 18, but two sets of brake cylinders are operated, via lines C 1  and C 2 . The changeover occurs when a bore 32 in the boss of piston 29 rises past a seal 32<SP>1</SP>, so allowing air at pressure T from the chamber 38 into the chamber 35. This depresses control piston 37 and allows pressurized air into the chamber 30 so that the piston 29 sinks to its lowermost position. In this position the central stem of the piston contacts the seal 39 so that lines 7 and 8 are connected, and so that the space above the seal is no longer vented through port 42.
