Filed: 1974-06-20
Abstract: 1470813 Data acquisition equipment LICENTIA PATENT-VERWALTUNGS GmbH 20 June 1974 [28 June 1973] 27481/74 Heading G4T Data relating to the issue of goods from sales machines VG is required by a portable apparatus DE which is served by a current source SV contained in each sales machine and which has means operable whereby it may be selectively coupled to each sales machine to transfer and record data contained therein. Data is read from the sales machine store SP which may be the core or semi-transistor type by interrogation means ST2 and passed via control pulses to the apparatus store DA. Data acquired by the apparatus DE is suitably classified by head data generator KD which enters head data, e.g. data acquisition number upon a carrier means (e.g. magnetic tape) which is then passed to recorder means (e.g. cassette apparatus) in the store DA where the carrier receives the acquired data.

Title: Improvements in or in connection with concrete structures
IPC: E04C5/03
Filed: 1932-10-06
Abstract: 404,771. Concrete roads, floors, &c. WALKER, J. H., 21, Shooters Hill Road, Blackheath, London. Oct. 6, 1932, No. 27865. [Class 20 (iv).] A method of forming expansion and contraction joints in concrete roads, floors, walls, and the like, consists in embedding in an unset layer of the concrete, in the vicinity of the joint to be produced, an insert member 1 of sheet material which is disposed perpendicular to the plane of the layer and comprises a plurality of portions 2 which are offset relatively to one another alternately on opposite sides of the strips. The offset portions are in the form of pockets and produce projections and corresponding recesses in the inner portions of the concrete on either side of the strip. In the form shown, the strip is rolled or pressed from sheet steel and the offset portions 2, which extend over one half the width thereof, are connected to one another by inclined portions 3 and to the upper unmodified section 4 by horizontal portions 5. In the construction of a road, the strips are placed vertically on the foundation against the end of an unset layer and the adjacent portion of the layer on the opposite side of the strip is then applied. As the concrete sets and dries, it shrinks and cracks along the lines of weakness produced above the strip inserts, thus dividing the road into a number of bays or slabs. The strips may be formed of other sheet material, e.g. cardboard. Specifications 181,930, [Class 20 (iv), Floors &c.], and 374,068 are referred to.

Abstract: 684,960. Gas cookers. CANNON IRON FOUNDRIES. Ltd., and OATLEY, A. F. Dec. 20, 1950, No. 27922/49. Class 126 [Also in Group XXIX] The rail for supplying gas to the burners of a gas cooker hot-plate is arranged so that the front wall thereof is flush with the cooker front frame, and the supply cocks are received in coaxial holes formed in the front and rear walls of the rail. In Fig. 1, the rail 10 is cast integral with the cooker front 15 with its front wall 10a flush therewith and its upper face 11 flush with the hot-plate 12. Coaxial holes 25, 26 are formed in the front and rear walls of the rail 10 to receive cock bodies 27 housing rotary conical plugs 34 and secured to the rail by spigots 30. In a modification, the rail is cast separate from the cooker front and secured by screws to an upstanding flange of the cooker front. In the case where the cooker front is formed from sheet steel, the rail is formed by welding an angle section 21, Fig. 2, at 43, 42 to the front and top faces respectively of the cooker front. The cock bodies 27 may then be replaced by cock bodies 27a screwed into the rail 10.

Title: Composition and process for cleaning metal surfaces
Inventor: PLESS JAMES ALBERT VON
IPC: C23G1/20
Filed: 1963-07-16
Abstract: Compositions, which when added to water may be used for cleaning metals e.g. zinc base die castings, copper or aluminium alloy surfaces, consist essentially of (a) 68-73% by weight of a hydrated borate, calculated as Na2B4O710H2O; (b) 10-20% of a polyunsaturated oil soap, calculated as cottonseed oil sodium soap; and (c) 12-17% of other wetting agents.  Specified wetting agents are (i) water soluble lignosulphonates 1-4%; (ii) alkyl ethers of polyethylene glycol, containing C1-C18 alkyl groups and 2 to 20 oxyethylene groups 2-10%; (iii) polyethylene glycol tertiary dodecyl thioethers containing 6 to 18 carbon atoms in the polymethylene group 0.75-5.0%; (iv) alkyl phenoxy polyethoxyethanol containing 12 mols. of ethylene oxide 0.75-5.0%; (v) ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers having C1-C4 alkyl groups 1.5-5.0%; and (vi) pine oil 0-0.5%.  Borates used are sodium pentaborate and borax.  Other polyunsaturated oil soaps used are derived from sesame and safflower oil.  The preferred sodium lignosulphonate contains up to 0.4% calcium oxide by weight, up to 4.5% reducing sugars, up to 0.05% iron and about 7.4% total sulphur, this giving a pH of 6.0-7.5 in a 50% by weight solution in water. Metal surfaces are cleaned by treating at 88 DEG  to 97 DEG  C. and a pH of 8.7 to 8.9 with a solution of 8 to 10 ounces of the above composition dissolved in one U.S. gallon of water.

Title: Apparatus for continuously carrying out reactions with solids in the fluidised state
IPC: B01J8/18
Filed: 1953-10-12
Abstract: <PICT:0755959/III/1> <PICT:0755959/III/2> Apparatus for continuously carrying out reactions with solids in the fluidized state comprises a plurality of vertical reaction chambers 1...7, arranged side by side and in lateral communication through apertures 16 in their walls; solid is fed through pipe 15, successively traverses all the chambers and leaves at 17; fluidizing gas enters at 14, flows upwardly through grid 11, and passes in parallel through all the chambers, leaving at 10.  The walls separating the chambers may be of good heat-conducting material and the outside walls of heat-insulating material. Cooling or heating pipes 18 are provided in the separating walls. The height of the fluidized bed in each chamber becomes less as the solid passes through the apparatus; the pipe 17 may extend into the last chamber so as to maintain a given height of bed therein.  The apparatus may be used for catalytic reactions, e.g. the synthesis of hydrocarbons or oxygeneous compounds from carbon monoxide and hydrogen, or the conversion of naphthalene to phthalic anhydride, for roasting ores, or for the preparation of oxy-coal by reacting coal with oxygen. Different reactions may be carried out in different chambers by providing single chambers or groups of chambers with separate gas feed passages; for example, catalytic reactions and catalyst regeneration with air, or exothermic and endothermic reactions may be performed simultaneously in the same apparatus.  In Fig. 3 (not shown) additional chambers are provided, forming a honeycomb arrangement, and in Fig. 4 (not shown) coaxial rings of chambers are divided by radial walls.

Abstract: 655,742. Steaming garments. KOTH, H. B. Nov. 1, 1948, No. 28313. [Class 138 (ii)] An apparatus for steaming and drying garments comprises a garment support having a number of permeable and inflatable depending arms articulated at their upper ends to the waistline position of the support, and means for inflating the arms to move them against the garment. As shown in Figs. 1 and 4, the support is mounted on a metal cylindrical base 4 and vertical rod 6 having four radially projecting wires 9. The support consists of a fabric core having a blouse portion 1 with holes 1A at the arm hole positions. The lower skirt portion 3 has a flared-out portion 3A which is secured to the top of the base 4. At the waist portion 2A is a baffle 2B which restricts the proportion of air or steam which flows into the blouse portion 1. A number of fabric arms 2 are attached to the skirt portion 3 just below the waistline. In use a garment, on a hanger if desired, is placed over the support and steam introduced inside the fabric core, then steam with hot air and finally hot air alone. The internal pressure causes the arms 2 to extend so that the garment is stretched and kept stretched until it is dry. The steam and hot air supply details are shown in Fig. 7. Within the cylindrical base 4 is another cylinder 5, which surrounds a steam nozzle S<SP>3</SP> supplied through a valve V controlled by a pedal P. The pedal may be held down by lateral movement which engages it beneath a notched latch member L. Hot air is supplied by switching on a motor-driven fan F which draws air through the steam-heated radiator H and blows it into the annular space between the outer and inner cylinders 4, 5.
