Abstract: 1,217,713. Styrene. CHEMISCHE WERKE HULS A.G. 29 May, 1968 [30 May, 1967], No. 25681/68. Heading C5E. In a process for the production of styrene by catalytic thermal dehydrogenation of an ethylbenzene feedstock containing combined chlorine using a catalyst containing combined alkali metal, the improvement comprises dechlorinating the feed stock prior to dehydrogenation under conditions such that no substantial dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene occurs. The dechlorination may be effected by passing the ethylbenzene feedstock over a solid composition containing a compound of an alkali metal or an alkaline earth metal, and optionally an inert solid, at 400-600‹ C. The feedstock is preferably first mixed with an inert gas such as H 2 , C0 2 , N 2  or steam. Preferred compounds for the dechlorination are carbonates.

Title: Method and apparatus for forming and packaging biscuit patties
IPC: B65B25/06
Filed: 1965-06-21
Abstract: 1,071,880. Oiling dough. W. E. BOWDEN. June 21, 1965 [June 26, 1964], No. 26141/65. Heading A2A. [Also in Divisions B8] A sheet 12 of dough is cut into strips by constantly rotating knives 14, the strips being thereafter cut into individual dough blanks which fall into forming dies 40 which are transported past forming plungers 68 to a position G above an apertured bar (86), Fig. 3, through which the formed dough patties are pushed into cans supplied on a conveyer 130. After the sheet 12 is cut into strips, the strips pass between divergent spreader plates 24 on to a table formed by an endless belt 26. A hood 30 connected by a conduit 32 to a source of vacuum enables surplus flour on the strips to be removed. A reciprocating knife 38 cuts off the individual dough blanks which then fall into the dies 40 formed in bars 42 carried on endless chains 46. The chains are moved forward intermittently through Geneva mechanism, the dough blanks being carried in the dies 40 on a thermoplastic coated table (58), Fig. 4. At stations A and B the dough blanks are centred in the dies, and at station C cornflour or rice 65 is sifted on to them by mechanism 63. The dough patties are formed at the stations (D), (E) and (F), Fig. 5, where the plunger shafts operate through sleeves (76) of a vertically reciprocable carrier (70). At station G the dough patties are moved on to fingers (96), Fig. 8, of rubber or thermoplastic which extend radially inwards from the edges of the apertures (88) in the bar (86). Cans 106 are supplied on a conveyer 130 to the first of two star wheels 120 which is rotated intermittently to move the cans below each of the apertures in the bar (86) in succession. Immediately before plungers 110 deliver the dough patties into the cans, vegetable oil is sprayed as a mist into the cans to prevent adjacent patties sticking to one another, to prevent friction between the patties and the can walls, and to seal leavening gas emerging at the patty edges. Each of the plungers 110 is arranged to operate at a different depth, Fig. 2, the last plunger on the right as seen in Fig. 1 delivering the tenth and final patty to each can. Thereafter the filled cans are moved by the second star wheel 120 towards a capping station. The sealed cans are stored at a controlled temperature, thereby causing the patties to rise within the cans. The parts of the machine are driven either directly from a motor (150), Fig. 10, or through a series of cams which control circuits to solenoils which actuate pneumatic mechanism. In a modification, Fig. 9, the cans are indexed below the filling apertures in the bar (86) by means of vanes on an endless belt (126).

The amount of desensitization on kinking of a photographic film (particularly an X-ray film) comprising a support having on each side a gelatino-silver halide emulsion layer at least 0.4 mils thick, is reduced by incorporating in each emulsion a dialkyl phthalate, such as dimethyl, diethyl, di-n-propyl or di-n-butyl phthalates. There may be a gelatine layer (which may also contain other colloids) containing a non-diffusing, light-absorbing material coated over each emulsion layer, for example as described in Specification 583,508. Subbing layers such as anti-halation layers may be provided between the support and the emulsion layers. A triangle test and a sensitometric bend test by means of which the amount of desensitization on kinking may be estimated, are described.

A back rest of a vehicle seat is hingedly mounted on a base 1 and is secured in its adjusted position by friction pads 18. 19, 20 engaging either side of a sector 13, the pads are mounted on either the back rest 2 or the base 1 at a point displaced from the axis of the hinge, and the sector is secured to or forms parts of the other member. As shown, there is a sector 13 mounted on each side of the back rest 2. The friction pads 19, 20 are slidably mounted on a tension rod 15 which passes through arcuate slots 14 in the sectors 13 with the friction pads 18 mounted on backing plates 17 screw threaded to the rod 15. The pads are engaged by displacing a lever 26 downwards which causes angular movement of a two-part sleeve 22 and thus urges apart screwed plugs 27, 28, since they are in lef and right handed screw-threaded engagement, respectively, with the two parts of the sleeve 22, and since they are connected to the pads 19, 20 the movement causes the pads to engage the sectors. The relative positions of the pads 19, 20 to the sectors may be adjusted. A torsion bar 3 is secured between the back 2 and base 1 to provide a balancing force which increases with the angle of tilt of the back 2. The lever 26 may be urged into its locking position by a further torsion bar or other resilient means.
