Title: Process for imparting flexibility to epoxide resins
Inventor: FOCK JURGEN
IPC: C08G59/12
Filed: 1983-01-24
Abstract: Flexibility is imparted to epoxide resins by means of polymers containing carboxyl groups as modifying agents. These polymers are obtainable by reacting alkali metal salts of polyoxyalkylene monools or polyols with halogenoalkylcarboxylic acid salts followed by acidification. The modifying agents have a low viscosity, so that the modified expoxide resins may hardly deviate from their initial viscosity and the modified epoxide resins are non- specific in respect of curing agents and can, for example, be cured under cold conditions by means of any desired polyaminoamides.

Patent GB-2150453-A (GB)
Title: Filter cleansing methods and apparatus
Inventor: STONER CHARLES RICHARD PAUL
IPC: B01D29/00
Filed: 1983-11-30
Abstract: Liquid normally flows through a sand filter F from inlet L1 to outlet L5 via valves V1 and V2 and is then recycled. To clean the filter the normal flow is stopped and cleaning liquid is fed from inlet L7 via valves V3, V2, which assume raised positions closing outlets L8 and L5, through the filter in reverse direction to outlet L3, valve V1 assuming the lower position shown. Feed to inlet L1 is subsequently restored quickly enough for valve V2 to remain in its raised position, so that cleaning is followed by a period of flow from inlet L1 through the filter to outlet L8. Finally the flow is interrupted for long enough to allow valve V2 to return to its lower position, then normal flow from inlet L1 to outlet L5 is resumed. The valves are self-acting ball valves, and outlets L3 and L8 lead to waste. Control may be manual or automatic, in response to a predetermined programme or a timer or a monitor sensing the volumetric flow or state of the liquid being filtered. The method may be applied to baths for humans or animals or to industrial processing plants, and avoids unpleasant filter cleansing operations and hazards to operator's health. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2136725-A (GB)
Title: Hammer, in particular drill hammer
Inventor: FEHRLE SIEGFRIED
IPC: B25D17/06
Filed: 1984-02-16
Abstract: The hammer (2) has an air cushion operated striker (7), in front of which an idle stroke brake (21) is located in the direction of a toolholder (14). This brake (21) has a fixed bush (15) which is conically contracted in the direction of the toolholder (14). A longitudinally slotted brake ring (18), matched to the contraction of the bush 15, is installed with prestress in this bush 15. The displacement path of the ring 18 is limited in the direction of the air cushion striking mechanism 5 by an axial end-stop surface (16) which determines the initial position of the ring. In the case of an idle stroke, the striker 7 comes in contact with the ring 18 and displaces it in the direction of the toolholder 14. Due to the radial prestressing of the ring 18 relative to the bush 15 and the elastic contraction of the ring occurring during the displacement, frictional braking forces occur between the latter and the bush and these bring the striking piece to rest. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2137518-A (GB)
Title: Method of recovering solvent vapour
Inventor: MUKERJEE A K
IPC: B01D5/00
Filed: 1984-03-29
Abstract: A gaseous stream comprising nitrogen and solvent vapor is taken from a curing oven (not shown), is passed through preliminary heat exchangers 13 and 23, and enters a first heat exchanger 33 through conduit 30. Remaining vapor is condensed in the heat exchanger 33 by heat exchange with chilled medium entering the heat exchanger from conduit 52 and leaving via conduit 37. The medium then enters a second heat exchanger 43 via conduit 42 where it is chilled by liquid nitrogen supplied via conduit 47, the chilled medium being recycled to the first heat exchanger. The resulting vaporised nitrogen is supplied to form gas curtains at the entrance and/or exit of the oven. This nitrogen leaving the first heat exchanger 33 is used to supply a return stream to the interior of the oven at a rate that substantially matches that at which nitrogen is withdrawn from the oven. This enables a mass balance to be maintained in the oven atmosphere. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2151065-A (GB)
Title: Drum beater
Inventor: HOSHINO MASAO
IPC: G10D13/00
Filed: 1984-05-17
Abstract: Pedal-type drum beater chain noise is reduced by preventing the chain (28) from separating from the sprocket (20) as the sprocket tilts. A pedal-type drum beater includes a pedal (30) whose heel is pivotally mounted at (33) to a support (31) and whose tip (29) moves up and down. A drum beater pad (19) on the end of a shaft is, in turn, supported on a horizontal shaft (15) which also carries the sprocket (20) for pivoting the shaft (15). The chain (28) trained on the sprocket (20) is joined at (43) to the tip (29) of the pedal (30) for transmitting pedal tip motion. The sprocket (20) has an arcuate operative surface (21) which is defined around a center of curvature of that surface. The sprocket (20) is affixed to the horizontal shaft (15) at a location on the sprocket that is to the rear of the center of curvature of the arcuate operative surface, with respect to the drum, and that is also slightly above the center of curvature, with respect to the pedal. Also, the sprocket arcuate operative surface (21) extends over only a short arcuate length. As a result of this shaping of the sprocket, the arcuate operative surface tilts upon depression of the pedal, and the chain links do not become detrained and retrained on the sprocket teeth as the sprocket pivots, thereby avoiding generation of chain noise. <IMAGE>
