Patent GB-1500261-A (GB)
Title: Food products
IPC: A23L13/20
Filed: 1974-04-11
Abstract: A foodstuff or feedstuff containing a finely divided edible protein material in a gel matrix is stabilised against bacterial growth by admixing a humectant and corresponding reduction of the water activity. A polysaccharide-containing gelation agent is used which contains non-glucosidic monosaccharide units. The gelation agent is dissolved in the aqueous phase of a mixture containing the protein material, humectant and moisture at a temperature above the melting point of the resulting gel, the mixture is moulded and it is cooled, without further processing, beneath the melting point.

Abstract: 716,156. Quenching coke. KOPPERS CO.. Inc. June 27, 1952 [Dec. 11, 1951], No. 16267/52. Class 51 (2) A wet coke-quenching station comprises a hood 3 made of rein-orced concrete 31 lined inside and outside with flat transite board 26', three prefabricated wooden stacks 5 disposed over the hood 3, a plurality of sprays 18 over the coke car 1 fed with water from a wooden storage tank 13 through conduits 14 and 15, 15<SP>1</SP> having automatically controlled valves 19 or 19' leading to a header 16, and sump system 31 below the level of the quenching hood floor, 9, and a scraping device 61 mounted on a carriage 65 for removing breeze &c. from a breeze sump 32 forming part of the sump system 31. During the quenching period, valve 19 or 19' is opened for a predetermined time by an electric timer operating either valve actuator 20 or 20<SP>1</SP> through a solenoid valve controlling the passage of hydraulic fluid to the said actuator 20 or 20'. Spent quenching liquid draining from the coke car apron 12 against a wearing plate 27 on the inside wall of the quenching hood, flows through an outlet 10 into the breeze sump 32. which has side walls comprising filter screens 36 in the form of rectangu'ar perforated plates covered with filter cloths mounted on supports 34 and columns 35. The filtered liquid passes into sump channels 39, 40 leading to a sump well 86 separated by filter screens 47, 48 finer than the screens 36 from. a pump well  46. Cleaned quenching liquid is pumped from the well 46 through a conduit 51, and either through the pipe 14 to the tanks 13 or through conduits 15 or 15<SP>1</SP> to the sprays 18. At the end of a non-quenching period, water taken from the pipe 15 or 15<SP>1</SP> by conduit 53 under control of a valve 54, which may be operated by the aforementioned timer, is forced against the screens 36 by sprays 57 washing the accumulated solids into the sump 32. Periodically, a scraper blade 71 attached to vertical arms 67 mounted on the carriage 65 is drawn along the sump 32 and up a ramp 58, discharging the coke breeze &c. into a tank 59. During the return movement of the carriage 65 the arms 67 and scraper blade 71 are locked in the raised position and lowered into the sump 32 at the inner end thereof.

Abstract: 708,014. Trucks with tipping skip bodies. BENFORD, Ltd. Oct. 8, 1951 [July 10, 1951], No. 16291/51. Class 78 (4) [Also in Groups XXXI, XXXII and XXXIV] Mounted on the chassis frame of a self-propelled barrow (see Group XXXI) is a tippable skip 20 from whidh depend slotted plates 90, the slots co-operating with pins 93, 94 on the frame. The skip is held in its loaded position by a releasable catch 97 co-operating with a bracket 98 on the frame, the disposition of the load and the shape of the skip permitting the skip to tilt forward pivoting on the pins 93 when the catch 97 is released. Such pivotal movement causes the pins 94 to enter the slots 92 to complete the tipping operation. Catch plates 95 pivoted on the plates 90 adjacent the slots prevent the pins 94 from leaving the slots during this operation, the plates being operable to release the skip from the barrow when desired. Specification 695,213, [Group XIV], is referred to.

Abstract: 675,820. Arc lamps. WESTERN UNION TELEGRAPH CO. July 6, 1950 [Aug. 10, 1949], No. 16895/50. Class 39 (i). [Also in Group XXXV] Electrode construction (Fig. 6).-The electrode of an open-air electric arc lamp comprises a nickel, platinum or palladium container 14 into which is packed finely-ground zirconium or hafnium 15 so that when the lamp is initially operated a fused layer of oxide of zirconium or hafnium 17 is formed together with a layer of molten zirconium or hafnium metal 16. The oxide layer remains after the initial operation but the molten metal layer appears only when the device is in operation when reduction of the oxide counteracts any oxidation of the molten metal, a state of equilibrium being maintained. To prevent progressive oxidation of the base metal 15 it is mixed with 5-40 per cent by weight of nickel, platinum or palladium. To aid starting a small percentage of magnetite may be added. Arc lamp construction (Fig. 1).-The electrodes 12 are mounted in holders 18 having slots therein to facilitate removal of the electrodes and being rotatably held on shafts 23. Each electrode is provided with a block 20 and lead 13 mounted in an insulating bracket 21 and the electrodes may be continuously rotated through insulated couplings 34 by gears 37 and motors 26. The electrode mounting as a whole is movable along the axis of the electrodes by means of a motor 41, shaft 39 and trolleys 27. Manual movement may be provided for, or automatic or manual control of the motor 41. A reflector 30 is provided. In a modification, the electrodes may be mounted at right-angles to each other, the arc being centred by means. of two coils, one in series with the arc and the other connected across it. The coils may be mounted on opposite sides of one of the electrodes, Fig. 2 (not shown), or may be on the same side and used with a co-operating permanent or electro-magnet, Fig. 9 (not shown). The motor 41 may be automatically controlled in accordance with a voltage which is the difference between a voltage VI proportional to the current flow through the electrodes 12, and the voltage V2 across the electrodes, the difference being compared with a reference voltage (see Group XXXV). Specification 665,092 is referred to.

Abstract: 436,554. Cylinders; turbines. SAINTJACQUES, E. C., 11, Rue Marbeau, Paris. June 7, 1934, No. 16956. [Class 7 (ii)] [See also Group XXVI] In an engine or turbine in which a combustible mixture is ignited in a chamber 3, from which the gases are transferred to the working space of the engine or turbine, the chamber 3 is in constant communication through a nozzle 5 with the working space and means is provided for introducing the combustible mixture into the chamber at one end and extracting it at the other end at a rate at least equal to the rate of inflow, suddenly stopping the extraction to produce a rise of pressure in the chamber, and simultaneously igniting the mixture. In the arrangement shown in Fig. 1, combustible mixture from a supply conduit 2 is discharged tangentially into the chamber 3 by a compressor 1. A second compressor 7 has its suction conduit 6 opening tangentially into the upper end of the chamber 3 and circulates the combustible mixture through a conduit 8 to the inlet conduit 2 of the compressor 1. A valve 9 in the conduit 6, operated by hand or other means, is preferably connected to means for switching on an ignition plug 10. On closing the valve 9 and effecting ignition in the chamber 3, the resulting compression surge drives the explosion gases into the engine cylinder or turbine. In a modification, a single compressor is connected to conduits such as 4, 6 to circulate the mixture through the chamber 3.
