Title: Improvements in or relating to sterilized flavoured milk drinks
Inventor: JNR AUBREY P STEWART
IPC: A23C3/03
Filed: 1957-08-13
Abstract: A sterilized flavoured milk drink so obtained by subjecting milk to high-temperature, short-time sterilization, such as at, 260-300 DEG F. for up to 5 minutes, and cooling the sterilized milk, separately sterilizing flavouring material and cooling the sterilized flavouring material, and mixing the milk and flavouring material together under sterile conditions e.g. either prior to or after filling the milk into cans.  The milk is preferably de-aerated prior to being cooled and mixed with the flavouring material by heating to a temperature of 180 DEG F. and spraying into a vacuum chamber maintained under approximately 18 inches of vacuum.  Mint or peppermint flavour in 90% by weight of alcohol or fruit flavours with a sugar syrup base having a pH of approximately 1,5-3,5 are suitable flavouring materials. According to one of many examples, 1 part of high-temperature, short-time sterilized lemon drink flavour base of pH 1,6, containing the full amount of sugar, was mixed with 5 parts of de-aerated, homogenised and high-temperature, short-time sterilized partially defatted milk with added skim milk solids, which had been cooled to 70 DEG F.  The resulting sterile milk drink had a pH of 5,5 and showed no heat coagulation, no loss of flavour or colour when compared with a blend of unsterilized milk and lemon flavour. Specification 857,700 is referred to.

Title: Improvements in processes for vulcanising rubber and products obtained thereby
IPC: C08K5/29
Filed: 1927-10-05
Abstract: 279,815. Naugatuck Chemical Co., (Assignees of Cadwell, S. M.). Nov. 1, 1926, [Convention date]. Vulcanizers.-The vulcanization of indiarubber is accelerated by means of a halogen-containing derivative of a condensation product of an aldehyde having more than one carbon atom in an open chain and an amine. The following examples of the preparation of suitable derivatives are given, the initial material being the condensation product of heptaldehyde and aniline :-(1) A solution of the condensation product in benzene or carbon tetrachloride is treated with chlorine until hydrogen chloride begins to be evolved, whereafter the solvent and excess of chlorine are removed; the product contains 26.4 per cent of chlorine. (2) More generally, the condensation product may be chlorinated so that one, two, or three atoms of chlorine are introduced into the molecule by substitution, and if the trichlor product is chlorinated further, two more atoms of chlorine are introduced into the molecule by addition; the pentachlor product so obtained yields a tetrachlor product when boiled with aqueous alkali. Of these products, all except the pentachlor product accelerate vulcanization. (3) The corresponding bromine and iodine derivatives may be made in a similar way. (4) The condensation product is treated, either directly or in ethereal solution, with hydrogen chloride gas in the cold, yielding a viscous mass. The use of the accelerators is illustrated by reference to the vulcanization of a mixture containing indiarubber (100 parts), zinc oxide (10 parts), sulphur (3 parts), and accelerator (less than 1 part), the treatment being effected under a steam pressure of 40 1b. for 30-90 minutes. The accelerators mav be added to solid indiarubber either in the mixing mill or otherwise, or they may be added to solutions or dispersions of indiarubber, including aqueous dispersions. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 (3) (a) includes other examples, in which (5) a similar product is obtained by boiling under reflux a mixture of the condensation product with hydrochloric or sulphuric acid, washing the oily layer several times with an equal weight of water, collecting the later washings, and acidifying them. (6) Alternatively, the collected washings of example 5 may be treated with sodium hydroxide to yield an oily product. In further examples the condensation product is (7) boiled with an aqueous solution of ammonium hydrosulphide, (8) dissolved in alcohol and reduced with metallic sodium, and (9) mixed with hydrochloric acid-and reduced first with .zinc and later with tin. Reference is made also to the hydrolysis of the condensation product with alakli, and the aldehydes are not limited to those containing more than one carbon atom in an open chain. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

Abstract: 310,266. Wheelock, J., Sept. 13, 1928. No Patent granted (Sealing fee not paid). Extincteurs; sprinklers, automatic. - A fire - extinguisher which operates on inversion is held in unstable equilibrium by a fusible stop, and is combined with means which automatically commences to drive a centrifugal spraying device when the extinguisher is released and overturns. As shown, the extinguisher 1 is pivoted between standards 4 on a bracket 23 by means of pivots 2<a>. It is held erect by a pin 5 seated in slots 6, 6<a> in a pivot block 2 and in the standard 4 respectively. The pin 5 is forced wholly into the slot 6, allowing the extinguisher to overturn, by a spring-pressed plunger 9 upon the fusion of a solder key 11 normally engaging a groove in the plunger. The cap 18 of the extinguisher encloses a rotatable nozzle 19, Fig. 5, and has a slot 22 in the direction in which spraying is desired. The nozzle 19 is fast on a shaft 24 to which is secured a coupling member 25 formed with an inclined gudeway 26 and a squared socket 27. As the extinguisher falls to its inverted position, the guideway 26 engages the squared end 29 of a rod 30 and guides it into the socket 27, the rod 30 being spring supported, Fig. 6<a>, to permit this. The rod 30 is adapted to be rotated, to rotate the nozzle 19, by a spring motor, but is normally held from rotation by a squared part 34 engaging a hole in a worm wheel 32 which is held fast by a pawl 35 and stop 36. As the rod 30 is depressed by the coupling member 25, a rounded part 39 is moved into the hole in the worm-wheel, so that the rod 30 is free to rotate. In normal position, the spring motor can be wound up through the rod 30, worm-wheel 32, a worm 38, and shaft 37. As the nozzle 19 rotates, the extinguishing medium is sprayed out through the slot 22. In a modification, the extinguisher has a fixed nozzle and is itself rotated by a motor and coupling similar to that already described, or is oscillated by a motor and a reversing mechanism including a toothed segment and a pair of oppositely-disposed pinions. In this arrangement, the extinguisher carries a ring engaging a ballbearing in the pivot blocks 2. In another modification, Figs. 10 and 11, the extinguisher cap carries a lantern pinion 51 which, as the extinguisher overturns, engages the clutch pins 52 of pivotal arcs 53 which are normally held open by springs 55 and are carried by a shaft 54 connected to a spring motor. The pinion 51 also engages a sliding rod 56 which operates to start the motor.
