IPC: A23L5/10
Filed: 1972-01-19
Abstract: 1403184 Chip frier BLAW-KNOX FOOD & CHEMICAL EQUIPMENT Inc 19 Jan 1972 [21 Jan 1971 25 June 1971] 41170/74 Divided out of 1402311 Heading A4D A method of continuously cooking a comestible comprises introducing the comestible into one end of an elongate cooking zone in which heated oil is dispersed in countercurrent contact with the comestible being introduced thereto. FRYING APPARATUS: A chip frier comprises an elongate kettle 212 containing a perforated oil dispensing plate 220 near the said one end into which oil is fed from a conveyer 276 and a slice separator 277 in countercurrent manner. An intermediate zone of the kettle 212 contains a second oil dispensing device 240 consisting of perforated conduits 244 and a chip agitator 228 consisting of vertically reciprocable bars 230. A perforated plate 246 defines an oil collection zone 248 having an outlet conduit 256. A rake 260 consists of a perforated plate 262 and downwardly extending prongs and is caused to move in a clockwise manner to stir the slices. The end of the kettle 212 has an oil inlet manifold 271 and an oil outlet manifold 275. The inclination of the plate 220 is variable but its inner end is contiguous with the bottom of the kettle 212. OIL CIRCUIT: The oil circuit includes a storage tank 282, a strainer 284, a heater 280, a levelmeasuring device 286 and pumps 402, 414 and 420.  OPERATION: Heated oil is fed to the kettle 212 through the inlet manifold 224 and the oil dispersion device 240 while the chips are fed in from the conveyer 276. The chips are stirred by the agitator 228 and the rake 260 before being removed by a conveyer 278. Oil is withdrawn from the intermediate region of the kettle 212 through the outlet manifold 256 and a portion is fed back at a lower temperature through the inlet manifold 271. The remaining portion is combined with oil from the outlet manifold 275 and is fed to the strainer 284 and then reheated by the heater 280 and recycled. The proportion of the oil fed back into the removal end of the kettle 212 depends on the temperature required in that region.

Abstract: 1,068,151. Linkwork. BALDWIN INSTRUMENT CO. Ltd., and C. H. HAY. Oct. 31, 1963 [Nov. 1, 1962], No. 4142 9/62. Heading F2K. Rectilinear motion of a block 34 is converted into unidirectional stepwise rotation of an output member 29, a crank-pin 30 on the output member engaging an arcuate cam-slot 32 in the block 34, and a tangent to one end of the slot being parallel to the direction of motion of the block. In an indexing mechanism, four equispaced crank-pins 30 are retractably mounted in the face of the output member 29, each crankpin in turn being moved into engagement with the slot 32 by spring or fluid pressure means. When the crank-pin engaging the slot has been moved through 90 degrees by leftward movement of the block 34, e.g. due to an hydraulic ram, a ramp 33 at said one end of the slot 32 returns the crank-pin to its retracted position, where it is held, e.g. by friction or a ball catch and the output member is locked against rotation by suitable means while the block makes its return stroke. The next crank-pin is then moved to engage the cam-slot, and the operation repeated. Figs. 1-3 (not shown) illustrate a mechanism of this type but having an oscillatory angular output.

Abstract: 896,888. Automatic control systems. OWEN-CORNING FIBERGLAS CORPORATION. Dec. 23, 1958 [Dec. 30, 1957], No. 41551/58. Class 38 (4). [Also in Group XXXVI] The level of an electrically-conductive liquid is determined by the current flow through the liquid to a stationary probe of low resistance having a short tapered tip immersed in the liquid, but otherwise of constant cross-section. In Fig. 1 continuous filaments 13 obtained through orifices in the bottom of a feeder 10 containing molten glass are supplied with size through a tube 15, gathered together by a member 14, and formed into a package 17 by a winder 19. Variations in the level of molten glass in feeder 10 vary the depth of immersion of a conically-tipped electric probe 42, and consequential variations in the alternating current passed through the probe and the molten glass from a source 51 are effective through a transformer 55, amplifier 43, and saturable reactor 41, to control the electric resistance heating of a pre-melting unit 30, fed with glass marbles from a hopper 35, so that the rate of supply of glass in a stream 33 is adjusted to correct the level in feeder 10. The temperature of the molten glass in feeder 10 is maintained constant by a thermocouple 22 which controls, through an amplifier 23 and a saturable reactor 21, the electric resistance heating of feeder 10. In a modification the variation of current to probe 42 controls an electric motor regulating the rate of feed of glass marbles directly to feeder 10.

Two multi-phase power systems are connected by a link which comprises variable reactors connected between all the corresponding and all the different phases of the two systems. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, three-phase systems A and B are linked by groups 13, 14, 15 of saturable reactors. The system voltages are sensed by transformers 16, 17, and the currents in the link are detected by current transformers such as 22, 23, 24, others not -being shown. During normal operation, a control device 25 sends current by way of a diode 28 to excite the control windings of reactors 131, 132 and 133 only, permitting current flow between corresponding phases.. If, however, a fault occurs and the systems get out of step, the control device is influenced by the phase difference detector 18 and supplies current through diodes 29, 30 to excite other reactors and permit current flow between different phase lines of the two systems. The current and power flowing through the link are automatically limited to values determined by set circuits 26, 27.
