Title: Improvements in or relating to compositions consisting of or containing finely divided nuts
IPC: A23L25/00
Filed: 1962-03-29
Abstract: A composition consisting of or containing finely-divided nuts, e.g. hazel nuts, almonds, walnuts, brazil nuts, coconut, cashewnuts, groundnuts, pistachio nuts, peach, apricot or pine kernels, is converted, without chemical change of the ingredients, to a form in which it is readily beaten into pastry or cream or synthetic cream confections by heating with milk, water or milk and water, and with sugar if sugar is not already present, and drying the viscous liquid so produced to powder or granules.  The fat content of the composition may be increased by the addition of ground cocoa beans, cocoa butter or other hard fat, milk fat or nut oil.  Milk powder and colourings and aromatics such as cocoa, burnt sugar, coffee, vanilla and cinnamon may be incorporated.  Glucose or caramel may replace at least a part of the sucrose.  According to examples: (i) a slurry of hazel nut flour, sugar and hot milk containing, if desired, vanilla (ii) a liquid paste of cocoa powder, ground nougat and warm water (iii) ground marzipan or marzipan mixture in hot water were spray dried, and the resulting powder, after grinding if necessary, was stored in air-tight containers.

Filed: 1966-03-22
Abstract: 1,138,844. Boring earth etc.; releasable fastenings. P. GROSPAS. 22 March, 1966 [22 March, 1965], No. 12647/66. Headings E1F and E2A. Cable-drilling apparatus comprises a cable 9 supporting a bit 13, and a column 10 having a head 7 for the supply of drilling fluid to, or removal of drilling fluid from, the bit. The head is adjustable for vertical movement in a derrick 1. The column has dependant conduits 57, 58 on which the bit is guided, and the upper section of the column is of square section so that the column and bit may be rotated by a rotary table 12. During drilling the bit and its supporting rods 14, 15 are connected to the cable by a latch 17 and springs 16 carried by the rods are compressed by an internal projection 19 in the column. If the column is raised to engage the projection with the latch, the rods and bit are disconnected from the cable and their weight is transferred to the projection. The latch (see Fig. 3) comprises a tubular guide 64 fixed to the rods and bit, the guide carrying members 66 pivotting about the lower edge of a plate 71 fixed to the guide. In the position of the members shown in Fig. 3 arms 73 of the members cooperate with an end fitting 18 on the cable to support the rods and bit. On engagement of the projection 19 with arms 77 of the members, the members pivot to release the fitting and transfer the weight of the rods and bit to the projection. The flushing fluid which may be mud, air or a liquid-solid-gas mixture passes down the column and is discharged by the conduits to return to the surface in the annulus between the column and hole. In a modification fluid from the column passes through a central passage in the bit which is guided by the interior of the column. In a further modification having reverse circulation of drilling fluid the springs are outside of an enlargement at the lower end of the column, and engage the top of the bit and an external projection on the column.

Abstract: 421,711. Removing dust on generation. TRIGGS, W. W., 57, Lincoln's Inn Fields, London.-(Parks-Cramer Co. ; Fitchburg, Massachusetts, U.S.A.) April 27, 1934, No. 12825. [Class 8 (ii)] Apparatus for cleaning textile machines comprises an enclosed disc fan carried by a carriage, having means for producing and directing separate diverging blasts of air on either side of the machine, the blasts being directed upon the outer parts of the machine and upon and across the central parts thereof; the disc fan is driven by a motor which also drives the wheels of the carriage. Adjustable air guiding means may be associated with the fan. Above the spinning frames 10, 11 are arranged rails 15 and conductors 31-23. The carriage 116 carries a motor 45 and fan 130 which is surrounded by a casing having outlets 139, 140 directed across each side of the machine. A block 27 carries contacts which take the current from the conductors 21-23 that drives the motor, the motor spindle 78, Fig. 5, carrying the fan on its upper end. The spindle 78 carries a worm 77 engaging with worm wheels 53, 76. The wheel 76 rotates the spindle 75, and through a clutch 80, 83 drives the wheel 85, whereby the carriage is traversed along the rails. When the carriage reaches the end of the rails, the rod 106 strikes an abutment 147 or 148 on the machine, whereby it is axially displaced so that the pin 104 mounted thereon is transferred from position 109 to 110 of the leaf spring 111, and so rotates the triangular member 101, 102 about a pivot 91, causing the clutch 80, 83 to disengage, and the clutch 54, 57 to engage, whereby the wheel 60 is driven, and the direction of travel of the carriage reversed. If desired, the wheels 60, 85 may be geared together so that both are driven. The air outlets 139, 140 on the fan casing may be made adjustable, Fig. 14, by means of hinged hoods and wing nuts 163<a>, 169<a>. In a further modification, the two air outlets may be used alternately as the carriage reverses its direction of travel. This may be effected by having a rotatable plate in the base of the fan casing, and apertures cut therein to uncover only one outlet at a time, means being provided to rotate the plate periodically, e.g. by a transverse rod, operatively connected with the rotatable plate, whose ends project and strike abutments on the ends of the machine, whereby the rod is displaced and the disc turned. The conductors 21-23 may be arranged so that they are shielded.
