Patent GB-359318-A (GB)
Title: An improved process for producing diarylguanidines
IPC: C07C277/08
Filed: 1931-01-07
Abstract: In the process of the parent Specification for the manufacture of symmetrical diarylguanidines by the action of ammonia under pressure on diarylthioureas suspended in benzene, toluene, xylene or other organic solvents, the metallic oxides employed as desulphurizing agents are replaced by lead salts, particularly lead chloride and lead sulphate, with or without the addition of sodium carbonate.  The lead salts may be regenerated from the lead sulphide formed in the reaction by treating it with hydrochloric or nitric acid.  In the latter case, in addition to lead sulphate, a certain amount of lead nitrate is formed and under the conditions of the reaction is converted into lead oxide, the mixture of oxide and sulphate so formed being suitable for re-utilization.  In examples: (1) thiocarbanilide suspended in benzene is treated with ammonia under 5 atmospheres pressure in the presence of a mixture of fresh or regenerated lead chloride and sodium carbonate, producing diphenylguanidine; (2) fresh or regenerated lead sulphate is employed as desulphurizing agent in the process of (1); (3) a mixture of lead chloride and sulphide from the desulphurization is treated with hydrochloric acid to regenerate lead chloride; (4) lead sulphide from the desulphurization with lead sulphate is treated with nitric acid to regenerate lead sulphate.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of food preservatives, food adjuncts, condiments or the like
IPC: A23L27/27
Filed: 1928-01-09
Abstract: 309,519. Haddan, R., (Smoked Products Co.). Jan. 9, 1928. Antiseptics.-A food preservative, condiment, &c., is prepared. by bringing smoke from burning carbonaceous material, preferably hickory wood into contact with common salt which is agitated so as to admix the smoke therewith. The salt may be treated in a chamber or drum, which is preferably in movement, having means for electrically precipitating the smoke constituents therein. In the process described, the treatment is effected in an inclined rotating drum 10 mounted on roller bearings 11 and driven through gears 12 and a chain 13 from a shaft 14. The inlet end 15 of the drum communicates with a smoke-collecting hood 16 and the outer end with a hood 18 having a stack 19 which may have an exhaust fan 20. The treated salt is discharged through the open bottom of hood 18 into a carrier 22 or other suitable receptacle. An electrical field is created between the drum and a wire 23 therein which is supplied with unidirectional current and is connected at its ends through insulators 24 to stationary supports 25. Wires 30 supported by and earthed through supports 25 exclude the electrical field from the salt. The drum 10 is insulated from the hoods 16, 18 by rings 26 and is connected to form part of the circuit by a wire 27. Removal of the precipitate from the walls of the drum is obtained by the abrasive action of the salt which may be assisted by scraping means such as a chain 28 connected at its end to supports 25. The smoke is produced by feeding sawdust &c. to burners 31 having a firebed 33, Fig. 2, and a reciprocating plate 34 for feeding the sawdust which is received through a shoot 35. The sawdust is supplied to a bin 38 from which it is directed through a conduit 39 to a sifter 40 which may consist of moving screens 40<1>, Fig. 7, having cleaning balls 40<11>. The rejected portion is directed to a receptacle 42, the remainder being discharged through a shoot 43 to a bucket conveyer 45, in a casing 44, which raises the sawdust and discharges it through a chute 47 to feeders 48. Each feeder consists of a hopper 49, Fig. 9, having a lower opening 50<1> which can be adjusted by a gate 51, the feed of the sawdust through the opening being controlled by a plate 50 reciprocated by a cam which engages arms 51" thereon. The sawdust then passes to the burner through shoot 35. Means are also provided for sifting the salt and feeding it to the drum 10, including a receiving bin 52, Fig. 1, opening into a sifter 53 which may consist of a cylindrical screen 53<1> enclosing a beater carried by a shaft 54 driven from shaft 14 through a belt 54<1>, a countershaft 55 and a belt 56. The salt then passes through a hopper 57, feeder 58 and a bucket conveyor, all similar to those used for the sawdust, to the drum 10 which it enters through a shoot 64 and a screw conveyer 66.

Patent HK-74285-A (HK)
Title: Apparatus and method for detecting the passage of coins
Inventor: DEAN ROBERT
IPC: G07F9/00
Filed: 1985-10-03
Abstract: The illustrated embodiment is an apparatus for detecting the passage of a coin down a coin passageway 14 of oblong cross-section where the width of the passageway is so great that the smallest coin can pass a single sensor in the passageway without activating the sensor. The apparatus comprises a light source 25 and a light detector 26 located in one wall of the passageway, spaced from one another across the width of the passageway and from the sides of the passageway. A prism 29 of transparent material is located in the wall of the passageway opposite the light source and detector and has two 45 DEG  reflecting surfaces 32 and 33. The first reflecting surface 32 reflects a beam of light from the source 25 towards the second reflecting surface 33, the second reflecting surface 33 reflecting the light toward the sensor 26. Thus the beam of light from the source 25 to the sensor 26 crosses the passageway 14 at two positions spaced from one another across the passageway. Even the smallest coin passing down the passageway breaks the beam at one of the crossing positions.
