Title: Improvements in climbing-apparatus used in the manufacture of concrete structures
IPC: C07D295/112
Filed: 1966-01-12
Abstract: 1,130,325. Lifting-jacks. B. AHL. 12 Jan., 1966 [5 May, 1965], No. 1445/66. Heading B8J. [Also in Division E2] Climbing apparatus 1 for raising sliding moulds on climbing poles 2 for the production of concrete structures by the slide-moulding system includes an upper grab-head 3, a lower grab head 4 and lifting apparatus between the two grab-heads 3, 4. The lifting apparatus comprises two hydraulic rams 5, 6 each with a cylinder 7 with a piston 8 and fluid openings 9, 10. The rams 5, 6 each terminate in lugs 14, 15 pivoted by bolts 16, 17 to lugs 18, 19 on the grab-heads 3, 4. Each piston 8 has a pistonrod 8a whose upper end 8b is attached to a threaded bush 12 on whose thread 12a an adjustable ring 13 is screwed which co-operates with a conical part 11 to provide adjustment for the stroke of the ram 7. Spring-loaded grabs 21, 22 eccentrically mounted on bolts 23, 24 are located in housings 20 of the grab-heads 34 so that alternate introduction of pressure fluid medium through the openings 10 or 9 causes continual step-by-step upward movement of the climbing-apparatus 1, thereby raising a mould (not shown) attached to the grab-head 3. When irregular clamping of the grabs 3, 4 and thus irregular slipping movements arise, mainly due to rust on the climbing pole 2 or the presence of dirt on or wear of the grabs 3, 4 the adjusting- ring 13 can be adjusted according to the amount of slip to attain regular and controllable raising of the mould. Holes 29, 30, Fig. 3, parallel to the climbing rod 2 are formed in a headpiece 20a attached to the upper grab 3 and bolts 31, 32 slidable in the holes 29, 30 contact offsetsurfaces 33, 34 on the grabs 21, 22. Above the bolts 31, 32 is a fixing ring 35 which can be screwed down by a screw 36 on to the climbing- pole 2. Up to a hundred or more climbing- devices may be associated with one mould and the fixing rings 35 allow control of the devices. The fixing-rings 35 are levelled between themselves or horizontally balanced by hose-levelling. In raising the upper grab-head 3 the bolts 31, 32 strike the fixing-ring 35 and press the grabs 21, 22 downward, whereby they are released from the climbing pole 2. In this way the grabs 21, 22 cannot clamp when the pressure fluid is withdrawn and the grab-head 3 with its attached mould moves back to its original position. The raising can be carried out until release of the upper grabs 21, 22 by the bolts 31, 32 is effected in all the climbing-devices. In addition up and down movement of the mould without actually climbing may be carried out until the concrete is set by means of electromagnetic control of the alternating introduction of the pressure fluid through the openings 9, 10.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the manufacture and use of organic condensation products, particularly for the treatment of textiles
Filed: 1935-01-16
Abstract: Condensation products suitable for use in the dyeing, washing and other treatment of textiles, are obtained from the cleavage products of albumens or albumenous substances and compounds of the general formula halogen--CO--R--Y--R<1>, where R represents an alkylene or arylene residue and R<1> any hydrocarbon residue, at least one of said residues containing an aliphatic chain of at least 8 carbon atoms, and Y represents the elements O, S, or the groups SO2, NR<2>, CONR<2>, NR<2>CO, or NR<2>SO2, in which R<2> represents hydrogen or any hydrocarbon residue.  R<1> may contain other substituents such as halogen, amino, or hydroxyl.  The cleavage products may be di- or polypeptides, degeneration products of glue, casein, horn, and leather.  The compounds reacting with the latter are generally the ethers and thioethers of carboxylic acid halogenides, alkylsulphocarboxylic acid halogenides, alkylaminocarboxylic acid halogenides, substituted carbamide-carboxylic acid halogenides, acidylaminocarboxylic acid halogenides, and N-alkyl-sulphamino carboxylic acid halogenides, in particular w-butyl or cyclohexyl-ether of capric acid chloride, lauroxyacetic acid bromide, w-piperidine-undecylenic acid chloride, N-lauroylphenylaminoacetic acid chloride, a -phenylthiolauric acid bromide, b -cetyl-thiopropionic acid chloride, dodecyl-sulphoacetic acid chloride, N-dioctyl-adipic acid-amido-acid chloride, N-lauroylphenylaminoacetic acid chloride, and N, N-dodecyl-p-toluene-sulphonyl-aminoacetic acid chloride.  The condensation is carried out in an aqueous medium maintained slightly alkaline, with vigorous stirring, and at temperatures between - 20 and 150 DEG  C., generally between 5--35 DEG  C., in some cases with a subsequent rise to 70--80 DEG  C.  In examples, an agent for assisting level dyeing is obtained from the sodium salt of lysalbinic acid and N-lauroyl-phenylaminoacetic acid chloride; washing or cleansing agents from w-butyl ether of capric acid bromide and sodium lysalbinate, and from degeneration products of casein or gelatine and the acid chloride of dodecyl-sulphoacetic acid, the latter being obtained by condensing sodium thioglycolate with dodecyl chloride, and oxidizing the sulphide with aqueous nitric acid.

IPC: G21C3/04
Filed: 1971-01-13
Abstract: 1,262,839. Fuel elements. COMMISSARIAT A L'ENERGIE ATOMIQUE. 13 Jan., 1971 [27 Jan., 1970], No. 1722/71. Heading G6C. A fuel assembly end connector comprises a tube 1 joined at an enlarged upper portion 6 to a casing (not shown) containing the fuel material and having at its lower end apertures 4 for the admission of coolant, e.g. liquid metal. An axial rod 8 extends the length of the tube 1 and at intervals along the rod 8 filters 10a, 10b, 10c, 10d are provided, these filters each taking up a portion only of the internal cross-section of the tube 1 and being arranged in staggered relation. As shown, the filters are semicircular and take up alternately each half of the coolant flow passageway formed by the tube 1. If one of the lower filters 10c or 10d is either wholly or partly clogged by coolant impurities, the coolant by-passes the filter but is filtered as it passes through the upper filters 10a and 10b. Any risk of local clogging between adjacent fuel pins in the fuel assembly is thus removed, and a warning is also given of any increase in the quantity of impurities carried by the coolant since the coolant flow rate falls on a filter becoming clogged and an increase in the coolant outlet temperature results.

Title: Improvements in and relating to the treatment of liquids
IPC: C13B20/02
Filed: 1926-01-25
Abstract: 247,542. Gilchrist & Co., (Assignees of Graham, W. C.). Feb. 13, 1925, [Convention date]. Plant; treating-materials. - Colloidal impurities are removed from liquids, such as sugar juice, sewage, &c., by causing rapid circulation in a body of the liquid and distributing a finelydivided neutralizing reagent, e.g. an alkaline reagent, over the surface so as to cause a progressive change in the hydrogen ion concentration. The liquid may be subjected to a preliminary heating to precipitate heat-coagulable colloids. In treating sugar juice, the juice is first brought to a temperature of between 160-240‹ F., but preferably 200-212‹ F., by feeding it through a pipe 6 into a pre-heater 5 where it passes through tubes 8 outside which steam from a pipe 9 circulates. The heating brings about incipient coagulation of the albumens and other heatcoagulable matter. Pressure may also be employed. In some cases, preliminary cooling instead of heating may be necessary. The juice then passes through a pipe 7, having a control valve 10, to the chamber 11, where it is treated by agitation and neutralization. The chamber 11 is provided with an open-ended tube 13 in which is situated, preferably towards its lower end, a propeller 14 mounted on a shaft 15 driven by means of a pulley 18. The propellor 14 causes movement of the liquid down the tube 13 and thence up outside the tube, where staggered mixing vanes 20 may be provided. A suitable heating means, such as a steam coil 12, in the base of the chamber 11 permits the temperature of the liquid to be maintained near or slightly below that at which it enters the chamber. An alkaline reagent, such as ground quicklime or slaked lime, or a dilute suspension or solution of milk of lime or calcium sucrate, is sprayed gradually into the circulating liquid. The reagent may be supplied from a container 24, through pipe 25, to spray-heads 27. The condition of the liquid is inspected by means of a by-pass conduit 19, the transparent portion 28 of which is filled with the liquid by opening valves 21, and then separated by closing the lower or both valves and observing the rapidity of settling of the solids and the colour of the liquid. The liquid is usually found to filter easily and to be without discoloration at approximately pH6.5 to pH8, and may then be drawn off through a pipe 22 by operating a valve- 23. An inert material, e.g. brick dust, may in some cases be added to the liquid to aid coagulation and settlement of the impurities. The process is intermittent, but may be made continuous by suitably controlling valves 10, 23, and continuously supplying the reagent. The treated liquid may be filtered, or allowed to settle and decanted.
