Patent GB-2467392-A (GB)
Title: Composite materials made using waste materials and methods of manufacturing such
Inventor: CHRISTMAS PETER
IPC: B29B9/14
Filed: 2009-07-23
Abstract: A composite material comprises at least one polymer and a filler which is de-inking residue (the secondary waste produced when recycling of waste paper) with a moisture content of less than 8%. Between 10% and 80% of the dry weight of the composite material is de-inking residue. The polymer material may be virgin and/or recycled polymers (such as mixed waste plastics). The composite may include additives which affect colour, flow properties, strength and water or fire resistance. The composite may be produced by a method in which particles (preferably 2mm or less in diameter) of the de-inking residue are dried and mixed with particles (preferably 5mm or less in diameter) of the polymer, the mixture is then moulded. Metal may be removed from the de-inking residue before mixing with the polymer. The moulding process may include injection moulding, extrusion moulding or pelletising. The composite may be used to produce a wood-plastic type composite suitable for construction, building or packaging products.
Patent GB-2473599-A (GB)
Title: Article having anti-microbial properties
Inventor: DICKINSON ADAM NATHANIAL
IPC: C09D7/62
Filed: 2009-08-12
Abstract: An article 10, such as a bag, apron or glove, has a contact surface 20. The contact surface 20 is printed with an ink which has an anti-microbial agent additive in a biocidally effective amount. A bag may have the ink printed around the mouth, on a tab extending from the mouth and on the handles. The glove may be printed with ink on the gripping surfaces. The anti-microbial agent additive may comprise an aqueous dispersion of silver chloride-coated titanium dioxide particles. The use of printing techniques can reduce the required amount of biocide and therefore reduce the cost of the articles.

Title: Wedging clamp for cable end
Inventor: ENDE ANDRO MARTIN VAN DER
IPC: E21B19/12
Filed: 2009-10-28
Abstract: A device to grip the end of a cable 12 or similar includes multiple wedges 14 defining an axial channel whose cross section is substantially different to the cables cross section. Preferably the cable has a circular cross section while the channel has a polygonal cross section, ideally square. Preferably the wedges are two cone halves, each half having a V shaped groove forming two sides of the square channel. The channel can have a constant or varying cross section. The wedges can be placed within a sleeve 16 with a conical internal surface matching the surface of the wedges. The wedges being pushed into the sleeve presses them into each other and causes the channel to constrict. Force on the cable in one direction would therefore tighten the grip of the device. The cable may be formed of a matrix reinforced with fibers, having a compliant core and/or coating. The arrangement can be held in a housing 18.

Abstract: 108,311. Electrolytic Zinc Co., (Assignees of Stuart, H. M.). July 26, 1916, [Convention date]. Electrodes.-A soluble anode used in the separation of metals, for instance in zinc refining, is provided with a tight envelope 4 of canvas, duck, or other material pervious to current but not to the slimes, means being provided for maintaining the close fit of the envelope as the anode dissolves. The slimes are thus held in contact with the anode so that all the zinc is dissolved, while dissolution of cadmium &c. is prevented. Portions of the envelope may for this purpose be treated so as to protect the underlying parts of the anode from attack ; for instance, the envelope may be striped with non-conducting paint, or vertical or horizontal laths 6 may be bound against the faces of the covered anode. Collection of the slimes at the bottom of the envelope is thus prevented. At the top the envelope may be tied by loops 5. The anode is cast with lugs 1, resting respectively on a conductor and on an insulator.

Abstract: 417,788. Cooking canned goods. HODGSON, G. R. W., 5, Maclise Mansions, West Kensington, London. April 11, 1933, No. 10782. [Class 49.] Apparatus for cooking or like heat treatment of food &c. in cans or other containers consists of a tank A containing steam or other heating medium which may be under pressure through which the containers are carried on an endless conveyer formed of carriages N running along a spiral track C. The carriages N are, in one form, mounted on an endless rope O, Fig. 4, by means of collars N<2> placed one on each side of a boss N<1> on each carriage, the rope being a running fit in the boss so that the carriage can rotate about but not move along the rope. In a modification, the carriages N are linked together by universal joints. The carriages have wheels N<8> which engage with and retain them in position on the track C. The conveyer is actuated by a driving wheel G, Fig. 3, which has slots R to take the bosses N<1>. The track C has a vertical return H between top and bottom. The containers are fed to and discharged from the tank A through rotary valves F<1>, F<2>, each consisting of a rotor having slots F5, Fig. 5, for taking the cans and a body having inlet and discharge ports F', F<6> and a steam port F<3> by which in the inlet valve F<1> steam is supplied under pressure to the slot F<5> to equalize the pressure therein with that in the chamber A prior to delivery of the can thereto, and an exhaust port F<4> through which steam is withdrawn from the empty slot F<5> to prevent loss. One rail of the track C is raised at the discharge point D to empty the cans, by tilting the carriages N, to a conveyer E in a chamber which is flooded or supplied with a spray of air or water for cooling, prior to passing to the discharge valve F<2>. The tank A may have an inner section B which may enclose an exhauster in which the heat radiated from the tank is employed for exhausting the air from the cans prior to sealing and treating.
