Title: Door check with fluid bumper
IPC: E05F3/04
Filed: 1954-03-22
Abstract: 762,133. Door checks; hinges. ELLISON BRONZE CO., Inc. March 22, 1954 [March 25, 1953], No. 8251/54. Classes 65 (1) and 65 (2). [Also in Group XXXII] A fluid check device comprising a piston and cylinder has a connection between the ends of the cylinder with means permitting unidirectional flow therethrough, the connection being closed on a predetermined movement of the piston in one direction, and at least one restricted by-pass connection between the ends of the cylinder opening at a point beyond the travel of the piston in at least one direction; the device provides buffer action in the dooropening direction and variable checking during closing. The arrangement shown is applied to a sliding-swinging door such as that described in Specification 396,162, having a roller 19 engaging a guide 18 in the lintel and being pivoted at a point midway between the roller 19 and a pivot 14, to an arm mounted on the latter pivot, the door being closed by a spring acting in connection with the pivot. The pivot 14 has splined engagement with a pinion 22 mounted in bearings in the lintel to actuate the check, and is retractable from the pinion to allow removal of the door and its supporting arm from the frame. The door is held open by engagement of the roller 19 between two pivoted members 52 held in the roller-retaining position by spring ball-catches. The check piston 31 is connected to a rack 24 engaging the pinion 22 to be moved to the left as the door is opened; any other means of actuating the piston by movement of the door may be used. The piston 31 has the usual passage through it with a ball-valve allowing free flow of fluid while the door is opening and has fixed to it a valve member 38 which co-operates with grooves 37 in the cylinder wall to allow free passage of fluid except when the door is nearly open, the grooves terminating short of the left-hand end of the cylinder; the last part of the opening movement of the door is thus buffered by the fluid only being able to escape through a by-pass port 42 communicating with the other end of the cylinder through a restricted passage, preferably with an adjustable valve. The latter passage may open at 43 into the ring-hand end of the cylinder clear of the piston travel, or may be closed by the piston when the door is nearly closed; in addition to controlling the final opening it also controls the closing movement. A second by-pass passage with ports 48, 49 may be provided to give free movement during the middle part of the closing. In a modification, the passage through the piston is replaced by an equivalent passage in the cylinder wall and the valve member 36 and grooves 37 are dispensed with, their function being performed by the piston and a check-valved passage in the cylinder wall.

Title: Improved method of and apparatus for the production of formed articles of glass
IPC: C03B23/025
Filed: 1950-04-03
Abstract: 671,097. Glass. ROSSEN, N. J. April 3, 1950 [May 9, 1949; Dec. 28, 1949], No. 8291/50. Class 56. Dish-like glass articles are formed by placing plane glass discs on saucer-shape moulds 40 carried on rings on a rotary table 10 and rotating the table so that the discs pass successively beneath a pre-heating element 1, through a heating and bending chamber 2 and then directly beneath a cooling element 3. The heat in the chamber 2 is sufficient to cause the discs, to bend under their own weight to take the shape of the moulds. No further tempering is necessary after the articles emerge from the cooling chamber. The articles may be decorated simultaneously with the shaping; this may be effected by printing a pattern in oil thereon and covering this with a powder containing an inorganic pigment and a flux. On passing through the heating, zone the oil burns away completely and the pigment melts and adheres to the glass.

Title: Improvements in the pressure hydrogenation of crude oils, tars or their residues
IPC: C10G47/00
Filed: 1958-03-18
Abstract: A process for the pressure hydrogenation of crude oils, shale oils, tars or their residues at temperatures between 350 DEG  and 550 DEG C. whereby the initial materials are preheated before the actual pressure hydrogenation in a preliminary stage in the presence of large-surfaced substances, comprises treating the initial material in a preliminary stage wherein the large-surfaced substances occupy about 40 to 80% of the free space at a temperature above 250 DEG  C. but below 400 DEG  C., and carrying out in the same stage an increase in the temperature of the reaction material of at least 30 DEG  C. Hydrogenation is effected by means of hydrogen, illuminating gas, town gas, water gas, cracking gas, coke-oven gas or low-temperature carbonization gas.  The catalyst may be an oxide, sulphide, selenide, telluride, sulphate, borate, nitrate, carbonate, halide, phosphorous compound or a silicate of vanadium, molybdenum, tungsten, chromium, uranium, rhenium, iron, nickel, cobalt, gold, silver, copper, tin, titanium, lead, zinc, magnesium, cadmium, zirconium, antimony, bismuth, manganese, platinum, or palladium.  The catalyst may also contain a promoter such as gold, silver, mercury, titanium, copper, zinc, tin, uranium or lead or their compounds.  The catalyst may be supported on a carrier such as acid-treated montmorillonite, active silicic acid, silica gel, preferably with the oxides of titanium, thorium, zirconium or magnesium, titania gel or titanium oxide together with 0.1 to 30% by weight of SiO2 as silicates, bleaching earths, fuller's earth or synthetic aluminium or magnesium silicate. The carrier may advantageously be treated with gases, such as ammonia, hydrogen, sulphur dioxide, halogen; or with an acid such as hydrochloric acid, hydrogen fluoride, chlorsulphonic acid, formic acid or oxalic acid.  The increase in temperature may be effected by the hydrogenation temperature, but additional heat may be supplied by adding carbon monoxide to the reactant gases. Large surfaces are produced by means of rings, hemispheres, cubes, cones, truncated cones, boxes and pyramids made of metal, porcelain, clay, cement, pumice, bleaching earths, aluminas, synthetic silicates, graphite or plastic material.  In a typical Example (No. 1) the residue from a Near East crude oil boiling above 365 DEG  C. is heated at 330 DEG C. under a pressure of 100 atmospheres together with hydrogen and led into a preliminary vessel filled with Raschig rings of alumina impregnated with MoO3.  The reactants leave at 360 DEG  C. and are then heated to 408 DEG  C. and are led to a second chamber which they leave at 435 DEG  C.  The reactants then enter the reaction chamber proper and are treated at 430 DEG  C. in the presence of a catalyst consisting of active alumina with 5% of silicic acid containing also cobalt and molybdenum oxide.  The product comprises 70% of components boiling up to 480 DEG  C. and a sulphur content of 1.6%.  The catalyst is regenerated by nitrogen and air.
