Patent GB-190145-A (GB)
Title: Process for producing printing surfaces
IPC: G03F1/00
Filed: 1922-12-05
Abstract: 190,145. Polygraphische Ges. Dec. 12, 1921, [Convention date]. Machines for preparing printing-surfaces; letter-spacing mechanism.-Lines of printed characters formed by a typewriter are justified by means of solid spaces, and are employed in the production of a printing-surface, by means of a transfer, photographic or other process, preferably a photographic process in which light is reflected after passing through the sensitized layer. In one process, the words in a line are typed on separate blanks and, after justifying the line by inserting spaces between the blanks, an impression is taken on transfer paper, the operation being repeated to form a page of letterpress which is transferred to stone, metal, or rubber. The Figure shows L-shaped blanks d topped with paper; the blanks rest on a bar e and are secured by a bar f, the length of the line being determined by side bars g, and wedge spaces h being employed for justification. Blanks made from a metal .such as zinc, or a substance such as hard rubber may be employed. Instead of employing separate blanks, the lines may be printed on strips which are subsequently cut between the words, and instead of reproducing the matter line-by-line, a page of justified blanks may be set up for reproduction. The typewriters described in Specifications 156,618 and 182,908 may be employed for printing on the blanks.

Patent GB-886980-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to vinylic-alkali metal compounds
IPC: C07C51/15
Filed: 1959-10-02
Abstract: Vinylic-alkali metal compounds are prepared by reacting a vinylic halide with an alkali metal, preferably as a finely divided suspension, in an inert atmosphere and below 10 DEG C.  Inert liquids specified include aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons, aliphatic ethers containing from two to twelve carbon atoms including ethers of ethylene and diethylene glycol, cyclic ethers such as tetrahydrofuran and aromatic ethers such as ethylene glycol diphenyl ether and diethylene glycol diphenyl ether.  It is preferred that the alkali metal should have an atomic weight over 7.0.  An alloy containing 40% to 90% potassium and 60% to 80% sodium may be employed, the sodium taking no part in the reaction. The invention also includes as a new compound vinyl potassium, and also the vinylic-alkali metal compounds produced by the process described.  Compounds specified include cyclohex-1-enyl sodium, alpha-styryl sodium, 2-butenyl sodium.  The compounds of the invention may be carbonated with solid carbon dioxide to yield alkali-metal salts of carboxylic acids which in their turn may be hydrolysed to the free acid.  Thus vinyl potassium yields potassium acrylate and acrylic acid, cyclohex-1-enyl sodium yields sodium cyclohex-1-enyl carboxylate and cyclohexene-1-carboxylic acid (Example 8) and 2-butenyl sodinm yields sodium alpha-ethyl acrylate and alpha-ethyl acrylic acid.

IPC: A23L13/50
Filed: 1929-11-07
Abstract: 342,769. Canning poultry &c. HORMEL & CO., G. A., Austin, Minnesota, U.S.A. Nov. 7, 1929, No. 34002. Convention date, April 8th. [Class 49.] Poultry is packed and preserved by insertion in a container which is then closed and a hot jellifying solution added to fill up the cavities therein, the air is next exhausted and the container sealed airtight and processed with heat to cook and sterilize the contents. In the method described, the fowl is cleaned and dressed, the edible viscera, e.g. the heart and gizzard being if desired added thereto, after washing and cleaning. The fowl is then placed in a flexible thin sheet metal container consisting of a body wall 10 and side walls 11 one of which forms the cover. When the cover has been attached the jellifying solution 15 is injected under pressure through a tube 13 passing through an aperture 16 which is then closed by a cap 17 soldered to the wall 10, and the container is exhausted through a vent 18 in cap 17, the vent being finally sealed by a drop of solder. The evacuation causes the walls of the container to be forced inwardly and to hold the fowl definitely in place therein. The container is next heated in a retort to cook and sterilize the contents and is then cooled by water introduced into the retort. Pressure may be maintained in the retort during the heating and cooling steps. The container may finally be further chilled on removal from the retort to set the jellifying solution more firmly. The container can be opened before use by a rip strip 19 and a key. The jellifying solution may contain edible animal or vegetable gelatine and a seasoning preferably having preservative properties. An aqueous solution containing 6 per cent of common salt and 4 per cent of animal gelatine may be used, the excess salt being taken up by the fowl. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) comprises also the canning of other meat besides poultry, and a modification of the process in which the fowl is salted or soaked in brine so that it takes up more than the amount of salt required for seasoning, and is then packed with a jellifying solution containing, for example, 5 per cent of animal gelatine, the solution taking up the excess of salt from the fowl during the cooking step. A short cooking for about 30 minutes at around 238‹ F. may be employed. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.
