Title: Apparatus for determining the shrinkage temperature of leather, hides, skins and thelike
IPC: G01N33/44
Filed: 1952-04-29
Abstract: 714,111. Testing physical qualities of leather. WACHTEL, K. April 15, 1953 [April 29, 1952], No. 10769/52. Class 106 (2) An apparatus for determining the temperature at which a hide commences to shrink comprises means for supporting a specimen strip of leather under slight tension in a body of liquid, means for heating the liquid, a maximum reading thermometer responsive to the temperature of the liquid, a solenoid-operated valve or switch for controlling the heating means and means operatively associated with the specimen strip and adapted immediately said strip commences to shrink, to break the control circuit of the solenoid and thereby cut off the supply of heat to the liquid. The leather strip 7 may be tensioned by a spring 37, a screw 38 being adjusted to engage the spring. On heating a liquid surrounding the strip 7 any shrinkage of the strip will cause the spring 37 to break contact with the screw 38, this action affecting an electrical control circuit to cut the supply of heat to the liquid. A maximum reading thermometer immersed in the liquid will indicate the temperature at which this occurs. As shown in Fig. 2, shrinkage of the strip 7 may be used to raise a' weight 29 acting as one switch contact in a solenoid circuit 33, 34, 36 adapted to cut off the gas supply to a burner 4a immediately the strip 7 commences to shrink. A motor operated peddle 13a may be immersed in the 'liquid body. The mercury switch 36 is adapted to cut off the supply to the motor 13a at the same instant that the heat supply is cut off According to a further modification, shrinkage of the strip 7 may be used to tilt a mercury switch cutting off a current supply to a solenoid which holds open a gas supply valve to the heating means.

Title: Improvements in or relating to earth-boring apparatus
Inventor: MORRISON WILLIAM A
IPC: E21B1/30
Filed: 1954-04-12
Abstract: 787,898. Earth-boring apparatus. INGERSOLL-RAND CO. April 12, 1954, No. 10772/54. Class 85 In an earth-boring apparatus a percussive drill 26 is secured to the lower end of a rotatable column of interconnected, tubular drill pipes 24 and gaseous fluid is supplied the 'column to a control valve mechanism in the drill to be passed by said mechanism alternately to either end of a chamber 48 to cause a piston 70 to strike a blow on the shank of a bit 28 having a splined connection with the casing of the drill 26. The piston is so shaped that used fluid is exhausted from the ends of the chamber down through the bit. This exhausted fluid carries the drillings upwards through the borehole, the upward movement of the drillings being further aided by passing pressure fluid into the borehole through ports 132 in the upper portion 130 of the drill. The reaction of the percussive drill is absorbed by a pistoncylinder unit 22 coupling the column to the drill.

Title: Electro-pneumatic differential pressure switch system
IPC: H01H35/32
Filed: 1957-04-02
Abstract: 814,851. Pressure gauges; iridicating-apparatus. FOXBORO CO. April 2, 1957 [April 2, 1956], No. 10795/57. Classes 106 (2) and 106 (4). [Also in Group XXXVII] A switch is operated from a small differential pressure force via a pneumatic amplifying system. As shown, bellows 11, 12 act on opposite sides of an arm 21 flexibly mounted at 22, the arm carrying a bracket 42 which has adjustable screws 45, 46 acting respectively on a baffle 63 and an indicator 61. The baffle is spring biased to the right and co-operates with a nozzle 64 to which a pneumatic supply is connected via a filter and restrictor unit 17 and a pipe 67. Small differential forces, of the order of a fraction of an ounce, cause movement of arm 21 and thus of screw 45 to vary the position of the baffle 63 relatively to the nozzle 64 whereby varying back pressures which may be as much as 9 ounces are set up in a pipe 71 connected to pipe 67 and to a bellows 72. The latter acts on a resilient arm 73 to operate a change-over snapaction switch 74, the arm 73 bearing on an adjustable screw 76. The zero position of arm 21 is obtained by opening a valve 27 to equalize the pressures in bellows 11, 12 and then adjusting the point at which bellows 11 acts on the arm. For this purpose, the bellows 11 has a projection 38 (Fig. 7) in an eccentric recess 40 in a plug 30 in arm 21, the projection 39 of bellows 12 being received in a concentric recess 41 in the plug. Thus by rotation of the plug, the projection 38 can be moved along the arm 21. Operation of the device can be tested by clockwise rotation of a screw 49 so that an arm 50 thereon moves the arm 21 to the left.

Title: Simulated meat and its manufacture
Inventor: PALMER HUGH CHARLES
IPC: A23L7/10
Filed: 1970-03-09
Abstract: 1283112 Simulated meat KAL CAN FOODS Inc 9 March 1970 [25 July 1969] 11243/70 Heading A2B A simulated meat product is composed predominantly of a coagulated denatured vegetable protein material having in its condenatured state the visco-elastic properties characteristic of vital wheat gluten, the product having a surface skin on an uncut surface thereof and having an internal structure stretched into a stable attenuated form comprising fibres, filaments and tissue-like membranes orientated generally normal to said surface. The vegetable protein material may comprise vital wheat gluten. The simulated meat may be prepared by mixing with water a suitable vegetable protein material which in such admixture is visco-elastic and heat-coagulable, applying heat to reduce the permeability to gases of the exposed surface skin of the mixture by incipient coagulation thereof, further heating the mixture to form fibrous filaments within its internal structure by generating gases within the mixture and causing the gases to expand while their escape is inhibited by the low permeability of said surface skin so that the mixture enlarges in volume and becomes internally attenuated, and coagulating the attenuated mixture to a denatured product by the further application of heat. Alternatively prior to the heating steps, the mixture may be allowed to stand and thicken to a soft, pliable, extensible dough. The porous, filamentous body formed by coagulation of the attenuated mixture may be caused to absorb an aqueous solution of an additive in sponge-like manner. This additive may be heat coagulable and after absorption may be coagulated by heating. The vegetable protein material may be replaced in part by other vegetable protein materials, meat or fish derived protein material or milk based proteins. Blood and derivatives thereof may be present in the starting mix. Other materials optionally present are sugars, humectants such as propylene glycol, antimicrobial agents such as sorbic acid, acidulants, fats and oils, and other additives to improve the storage properties, nutrient value, texture, flavour and appearance of the simulated meat. In the examples an aqueous slurry of wheat gluten is mixed with (1) beef blood, spray dried blood, skim milk and/or hydrolyzed vegetable protein, (2) sodium nitrite, and optionally titanium dioxide, beef flavor, chicken flavor, sodium glutamate and ground liver. The product may be immersed in a batter consisting of whole eggs, beef blood, wheat flour and sodium nitrite followed by heat coagulation.

Title: Improvements in pigmenting activity of xanthophyll
IPC: A23L5/40
Filed: 1964-03-19
Abstract: The pigmenting activity of xanthophyll is increased by treating the xanthophyll with sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.  The treatment may be effected by treating the plant material, e.g. marigold petal, in which the xanthophyll is found but it is preferably done after drying and finely dividing the plant material. The xanthophyll may also be first separated from the plant material or the treatment may be effected at the same time as the extraction. The process may be carried out by mixing the xanthophyll with the alkali, preferably in the presence of a polar organic liquid. The treatment may be carried out at a temperature in the range from 0 DEG to 150 DEG  C.  Where the treatment is carried out in an organic liquid, it is effected at the reflux temperature of the liquid.
