Abstract: 1308261 Textile treating apparatus BRUCKNER - APPARATEBAU MICHELSTADT GmbH 19 April 1971 [2 April 1970 25 Feb 1971] 26195/71 Heading D1L In a process for the wet treatment of a textile web with an organic solvent and subsequent drying of the web with a hot air stream, the web is first shrunk in hot solvent and then laid evenly on a web transport means through which air may pass, this transport means conveying the web through the drying process. In the embodiment shown of apparatus for carrying out this process the web 7 passes through a shrinking zone 1' wherein sprays 13 of hot solvent spray the web, a container 14 catching liquid dripping down. The web is here transported by tenter chains. The web is next passed, supported on a mesh belt, through a washing zone 2, a zone 3' wherein an air stream blows liquid out of the web, a hot air drying zone 4 and an air zone 5. The solvent may be recovered by a condensation device from the hot air in the drying zone. In a further embodiment, a U-shaped bath is provided in place of the shrinking zone 1' shown and the zone 3' is replaced by a pair of coaoting rollers, this embodiment also having the washing zone 2 optionally omitted, the washing taking place in the U- shaped bath. A yet further embodiment has the U-shaped bath followed by a perforated drum having three sectors, a suction air stream removing liquid in the first, a hot air stream drying the web in the second and the web being aired in the third, the washing and shrinking both taking place in the U-shaped bath in this embodiment. The same solvent can be used for both washing and shrinking where separate zones for these processes occur, or different additives (e.g. swelling agents) can be used. The solvent may be perchloroethylene or dichloroethylene.

Title: Improvements in means for heating the charges supplied to internal combustion engines
IPC: F02M21/00
Filed: 1920-09-13
Abstract: 150,975. Packard Motor Car Co., (Assignees of Woolson, L. M.). Sept. 13, 1919, [Convention date]. Spray carburettors; vaporizers, external.-The mixture from a main carburettor is heated at starting by burning in a chamber 55 mixture supplied by an auxiliary carburettor 34, the chamber 55 partly surrounding the mixture pipe 22, the hot products from the chamber being drawn into the pipe through the plug 62. Both carburettors are subjected to the suction of the engine. The hole 56 in the plug is larger than the inlet 57 to the chamber to prevent back-fire and ensure a continuous flow from the auxiliary carburettor, when in use. A gauze 58 is placed at the inlet and a glazed inspection opening 55<1> allows the ignition spark for the heating-mixture to be seen. This spark is supplied from an induction coil 82 independent of the coil 73 for the cylinders. The main carburettor has a mixture throttle 26, a primary air-throttle 17, and a suction-actuated, secondary air-valve 20; when the primary airthrottle is closed, a stop on the valve bears on the spindle 21 of the secondary-air valve and also holds it closed. The auxiliary carburettor consists of a tube 37 screwed into the top of the float chamber; on the bottom of the tube is screwed a second tube with an inlet 45 for fuel, and air inlets 43, the air being drawn from the float chamber and passing through the annular chamber between the two tubes and holes 46 into the bore of the tube 37, where it forms an emulsion with the fuel. The emulsion passes out through holes 47 into a mixing-chamber 52, air being supplied thereto from the main air intake 15 through the pipe 50. The pipe 54 delivers the heating-mixture to the chamber 55. The main air-throttle 17 when closed restricts the air supply to the auxiliary carburettor and ensures a very rich mixture at starting.

Title: Apparatus for the automatic production of moulded products from minced meat
IPC: B02C18/30
Filed: 1962-07-10
Abstract: 939,124. Reciprocating mould table machines, G. HELY-JOLY, and J. HELY-JOLY. July 10, 1962, No. 26414/62. Class 87(2). Moulded products of minced meat are produced in an apparatus comprising a tubular frame, which is secured to the delivery end of a conventional mincing machine and which contains a raising screw driven by the feed worm of the mincing machine, and a member, transversely slidable at the end of the frame remote from the mincing machine in which there is a mould cavity which may be moved to a position to receive minced meat or to a position in which the formed beef steak may be ejected. The frame 5 is fixed to the mincer by the connecting member 6, attached to the frame by a set screw, and the ring 7, the flange portion of which engages the shoulder of the member 6. The meat, thoroughly mixed by the screw 8, is introduced into the mould cavity 10b of the member 10 which may be reciprocated, in grooves in the wall 5a, in a direction transverse to the direction of feed. The wall 5a contains a removable transparent window 9. To fill the moulds the member 10 is moved across by means of handle 10a so that the triangular depression 10c on the lower edge of the sliding member co-operates with the spring biased plunger 11a which closes the switch 11 thus actuating the electric motor which drives the mincing machine. When the mould cavity is filled the pressure of the meat forces the resilient pusher 12 down against the plunger 11a which opens the switch 11 thus stopping the mincer. The sliding member is then reciprocated by hand until one end engages one arm of the two-armed lever 14 so that the pad 14a is forced against the beefsteak to eject it from the mould. In a modification the slide may contain 2 moulding cavities so that one may be in the filling position whilst the other is in the discharging position.
