Title: Improved Process for the Production of Soluble Starch.
IPC: C08B30/12
Filed: 1909-04-20
Granted: 1909-07-22
Abstract: 9370. Paira, A., and Administration der Minen von Buchsweiler Akt.- Ges. April 20. Starch. -To render maize, potato, rice, or other starch soluble, instead of heating it with acids or using oxidizing-agents such as chlorine or per-salts, it is treated with dilute solutions of inorganic or organic acids, air being blown through. The action is stated to proceed very quickly at about 50‹ C. and to be facilitated by the presence of catalytic agents, such as salts of cobalt, copper, iron, manganese, nickel, &c. The duration of treatment governs the resultant solubility; according to examples, complete solubility in hot water is obtained in from three to four hours without, and in one to two hours with, the presence of a very small quantity of copper sulphate, a powerful air current being injected at a temperature of from 40-50‹ C. After treatment, the starch is filtered off, washed with cold water, and dried.

Abstract: 14,341. Derain, G. L. June 22, 1908, [Convention date]. Extrusion machines. - Relates to an extrusion machine for wrapping-up butter, grease, margarine, &c. in blocks of given weight, of the type in which the material is forced from a cylindrical receptacle by a screw piston into a mould arranged at the bottom. According to the present invention, the bottom of the piston and the receptacle are conical, the pressure mechanism coacts with indicating- mechanism, and can be thrown out of gear and the piston and vat are cooled by water circulation. The piston 12, working in the aluminium &c. receptacle 10, is operated by a rack 26 and pinion and forces the material into the mould 20 through the opening 18. The rack 26 is perforated in order to receive a rod 27 with a shoulder 28 for limiting the downward movement and is provided with a scale. The press is operated by a crank-handle which actuates the pinion through clutch mechanism, automatically thrown out of gear when the right amount has been extruded. The movable bottom 52 of the mould is carried by a rod 53, and its position is adjusted by a gland 54. The mould can be moved on a slide a, Fig. 7, and a movable shutter 19 carried by bell-crank levers 57 pivoted at 58 adapted to engage a projection on the mould. When the mould is pulled forward, the shutter moves with it until the tappets 60 and projections 56 engage, and the levers 57 are disengaged, leaving the shutter closing the bottom 18 of the cylinder.

Abstract: 29,502. Soc. du Gaz de Paris. June 18, [Convention date]. Actuating valves and cocks; plug cocks.-In apparatus for controlling an intermittent supply of gas to signs, a cock is rotated by tappet mechanism actuated by bellows alternately filled and emptied. A cock in a casing 2 supplies gas alternately to the bellows 16, 17, which are connected by a rod 18 so that one empties as the other fills, and to the burners 4, 5. As the bellows expand, they strike rods 23 or 24, and overbalance a weighted arm 20 carrying tappets 25, 26 which strike bent arms 27 on the plug cock and rotate it through one step, always in the same direction. The construction of the cock is shown in Figs. 4, 5, 6, and 7. Opposite the gas inlet 3 is a circular groove 8, and from this lead longitudinal grooves 9, 10 to the bellows conduits 6, 7, Fig. 4, and a groove 11 to the burners 4, 5. In the plane of the bellows conduits is a transverse passage 13, and in the plane of the burners are the passages 14, 15, Fig. 6, connected by a passage 12. In operation, as shown in the Figures, gas passes by way of the groove 8 and slot 10 to the bellows conduit 7, and by the slot 11 to the burner 4. At the same time, the emptying-bellows discharges gas by way of the passages 13, 12, 15, and supplies the pilot light of the burner 5. On the cock being rotated, the conduit 6 is supplied with gas, neither burner is supplied, and the discharged gas from conduit 7 keeps both pilot lights burning by way of passages 13, 12, 14.

Abstract: 4478. Draper, R., and Tabberer, G. Feb. 23. Lubricant conveyed by mechanical means. - A loose pulley, wheel, or roller, of the kind having an annular oil-chamber from which oil is fed to the bearing by a headed pin sliding in a hole in the nave of the wheel, is adapted for use at high speeds by making the pin 7 hollow, or by providing it with an internal plunger. In the case of a hollow pin without a plunger, the oil which is thrown centrifugally to the outer side of the annular chamber 3, Fig. 1, passes down the pin to the bearing. A plunger 11, Fig. 2, inserted in the pin 7, is provided with a head 12 pressed against the end of the pin by a spring 13 bearing against a cap 15, which projects beyond the larger end of the pin. At low speeds, the pin and the plunger work together, but at high speeds, the pin is thrown outwards centrifugally, and the plunger is forced inwards against the spring. The plunger has grooves 17 with square shoulders 17<a> which feed the oil when the plunger reciprocates. Similar grooves may be formed on the pin 7. Fig. 5 shows a device for positively actuating the pin 7 or the plunger 11. A rod 18, pressed upwards by a spring 24 and engaging the head 8, is depressed periodically by a cam 22 on the fixed shaft 10, engaging a tappet 21 pivote 1 to a lever 20. In a modification, a bent arm rotating with the pulley 2 and engaging the head 26 of the rod 18 is raised against a spring by passing over the cam-surface 22. In another modification, the head 26 is depressed when it passes under a fixed bevelled arm.
