Abstract: 520,480. Catalytic apparatus. GUTEHOFFNUNGSHUTTE OBERHAUSEN AKT.-GES. Oct. 11, 1938, No. 29408. Convention date, Oct. 11, 1937. [Class 1 (i)] [Also in Group IV] For the oxidation of hydrocarbons particularly to formaldehyde in the gas phase by means of air containing nitrogen oxides in the presence of solid oxide catalysts, the gas mixture is passed through a number of uniformly heated tubes containing, made of, or used with the catalyst which may be an oxide of silicon, zinc, magnesium, titanium, cerium, or similar metal. In Fig. 1, the reaction tubes d are heated by burners b. In Fig. 3 the gases from the burners b after passing around the tubes d are returned to the vicinity of the burners by a fan e, a part being removed by a flue f. In another construction, the tubes are heated by a regenerative heater. The Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 includes the use of natural rocks such as granite, porphyry, mica and quartz as catalysts. This subject-matter does not appear in the Specification as accepted. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specifications 21,941/05, [Class 2], 275,321, 300,968, [both in Class 1 (i)], 433,559, [Group IV], and U.S.A. Specification 1,991,344.

Title: Improvements relating to telescopic umbrellas
IPC: A45B19/04
Filed: 1947-11-04
Abstract: 650,828. Umbrellas. LACHMANN, K. Nov. 4, 1947, No. 29424. [Class 134] The locking catch for holding the telescopic sections of an umbrella stick in the closed position is released by a device attached to the handle. A flexible strip 8 is attached to the inner stick section 2 at 9, and has a cylindrical nose 10 projecting through a hole 11 in section 2. In the closed position shown, it also projects through a hole 12 in the outer stick section 1, thus locking sections 1 and 2 against accidental opening. To release the locking catch, a push-rod 14 operated by depressing a plunger 13 in the handle forces the spring out of engagement with hole 12, thus permitting extension of the stick sections. A hole at the other end of stick section 1 corresponding to hole 12 enables the stick to be similarly locked in the open position and similarly released. Push-rod 14 is returned to its original position by a spring. A cylindrical sleeve 16 shields hole 12 from dirt &c.

Patent GB-709964-A (GB)
Title: Production of fatty acid nitriles
Filed: 1951-12-18
Abstract: Fatty acid nitriles are produced by a method which comprises passing a mixture of gaseous ammonia and fatty acid vapours into a reaction zone containing a fluidized dehydration catalyst and maintained at a substantially constant temperature in the range 300 DEG  to 550 DEG C., and recovering the fatty acid nitrile issuing in the vapour phase from the reaction zone.  Preferably the catalyst particles have a diameter less than 300 m .  The catalyst may be regenerated by contact with air at a temperature in the range 400 DEG  to 650 DEG C.  In the examples (a) the mixed fatty acids from palm-kernel oil are reacted with ammonia in the presence of a fluidized catalyst consisting of activated alumina at a temperature of 370 DEG  C.; (b) palmitic acid is reacted with ammonia in the presence of fluidized activated alumina at 365 DEG  C. and (c) stearin is reacted with ammonia in the presence of fluidized activated alumina at 380 DEG  C. to give the corresponding nitriles.

Abstract: 717,954. Tape dispensers. DERBY SEALERS, Inc. Nov. 25, 1952, [Dec. 8, 1951.] No. 29779/52. Class 18. In an apparatus for dispensing pressuresensitive adhesive tape, the tape is pressed upon .the feed roll by means of a spring-loaded pressure plate engaging the.non-tacky side of the tape so as to produce sufficient adherence to secure the necessary tension for unwinding the tape. As shown, the tape 14 is drawn from a supply roll, suitably mounted in the casing 10, by a feed roll consisting of a plurality of toothed discs 16 spaced a slight distance apart on the shaft 15. A stripper roll consisting of similar discs 18 is mounted on a shaft 19 so that the discs 18 are received between the edges of the discs 16, and the two rolls are driven by gearing through a handle or lever, the stripper roll being driven at a greater peripheral speed than the feed roll. Lugs 28 mounted on the side walls of the casing support a knife blade 29 having a serrated lower edge, a reinforcing member 31, and a further blade 32 having a sharp edge 33, which are attached to the lugs by spring-loaded screws 34. The pressure of the blade structure on the stripper roll under the action of the spring 36 prevents the tape from being drawn between the feed roll and the stripper roll and prevents the tape from curling outwardly upon itself, as described in Specification 717,956, A pressure plate 45 is mounted on lugs 40 attached to the side walls and is provided with a curved portion 46 to press the tape against the feed roller 16. The pressure plate is secured to a plate 41 by a screw 48 and the plate 41 is secured at each end to the lugs 40 by spring-loaded screws 43, the portion 47 of the pressure plate being bent at an angle such that the plate 41 does not rest flat on the lugs 40. The pressure plate may be provided with a soft pad which bears against the feed roll.
