Filed: 1966-03-08
Abstract: 1,077,193. Storing gases under pressure. SHELL INTERNATIONALE RESEARCH MAATSCHAPPIJ N.V. March 8, 1966 [March 10, 1965], No. 10078/66. Heading F4P. [Also in Division F1] Natural gas or liquefied propane or butane 8 is discharged from an underground storage reservoir 6 by means of a displacing liquid 9, e.g. salt solution, subject to gas pressure in underground reservoir 9. With the liquid levels as shown and the gas in reservoir 7 at a pressure of 20 atmospheres, for example, gas 8 is discharged by opening valve 14. Further gas 8 under pressure is supplied through line 10 to restore the liquid levels. Gas is supplied to the reservoir 7 to maintain the pressure. In further embodiments, Figs. 2 to 4 (not shown), differing arrangements of the reservoirs and the lines for supplying and discharging the gases and liquid are illustrated. The pressurizing gas may be methane, natural gas, propane or butane or mixtures thereof. The reservoirs 6 and 7 may be formed by leaching a salt bed 4 below a sea bed 2, 3, or by mining.

Abstract: 1,140,497. Chain tensioners. SEASAFE TRANSPORT A.B. 3 March, 1967 [4 March, 1966], No. 10267/67. Heading F2G. A device 8 for tensioning two chains or chain portions and the like comprises a lever 12 one end of which has a double bent part consisting of a first larger, curved part 15 adjacent the lever and a second, nose-shaped, smaller, curved part 16 curved in the opposite direction at the free end of the part 15. A short chain 19 having a hook 20 is pivotally mounted in the lever at the root of the larger curved part 15, the pivoting centre of the short chain 19 and the centres of curvature of the two parts 15, 16 being substantially located on a straight line (Fig. 3, not shown). The free end of the lever 12 may be provided with a further, hooked chain 13 for the purpose of holding the device at any position with respect to the chains to be tensioned, the chain 13 passing over one of the tensioned chains and the hook of chain 13 being lodged in its own links (Figs. 1, 6, not shown). The device is used by first drawing the chains together using the double bent part and then engaging the hook 20 in one of the chains. The chain which has been hooked is then released by the double bent part and the next link in the chain is next engaged by the double bent part to incrementally tension the chain (Figs. 5 to 9, not shown). Relative dimensions of the device with reference to a particular chain are disclosed.

Sound - controlling valves. - A soundcontrolling valve for telephones, phonographs, speaking- tubes, &c. affords a variable transmission of sound to a receiving apparatus whilst at the same time permitting a variable amount of sound to escape into the atmosphere, there being simultaneous transmission and escape in every position of adjustment. The construction shown comprises a rotatable member 23 provided with a cut-away portion 27 which permits variable passage of sound from an inlet 17 both to a sound-transmitting passage 20 and to an escape aperture 19.

Title: Spin-dyed regenerated cellulose products
IPC: D01F2/16
Filed: 1961-03-22
Abstract: Regenerated cellulose products from viscose spinning solutions are spin-dyed in fast yellow, orange, red or brown colours, by incorporating into the viscose spinning solution, hydrazines derived from mono- or dinitroaryl hydrazines in a finely-dispersed form.  The hydrazines contain at least three phenyl nuclei which may be condensed, or linked in any way, and may contain other substituents except basic amino residues, or carboxylic, sulphonic acid or phenolic hydroxyl groups.  Numerous examples of such hydrazines are given, prepared by treating 2,4-dinitro-phenylhydrazine, 2,4-dinitrophenylene-1,5-dihydrazine, 2-nitro-4-(N-methylsulphamido)-phenylhydrazine, 2-nitro-4-(N-dimethylsulphamido)-phenylhydrazine or 2,4-dinitro-5-chloro-phenylhydrazine with various carbonyl compounds. The nitroaryl hydrazine is preferably used as an aqueous paste, and ground to a particle size of 1m .  Dispersing or grinding auxiliaries may be incorporated in the paste, which may be added to the viscose at any stage of its preparation.  In an example, 4,25 parts by weight of a pigment paste containing a nitroaryl hydrazine and sodium dinaphthyl methane disulphonate, are added to 1,000 parts by weight of viscose spinning solution at 15 DEG -25 DEG C.  The mixture is stirred for 1/2 hour before extruding into a sulphuric acid precipitating bath.

In the embodiment the screw 1 discharges, at a conical and chamfered end thereof, through a filter screen 5 into a pair of semi-annular divergent passage 7 of an adapter 10, connecting to die channels 7a, 7b which are each of a section changing progressively to rectangular and each discharge into a rectangular section helical channel defined by a groove 81, or 91, extending around cylindrical members 8, 9, from the outer to the inner side thereof, to discharge the rectangular section material layers within the die on either side of the flat wire layer 19. The members 8, 9, are each keyed within the die, and their axes extend at an angle to the inlet extrusion axis of the crosshead of preferably less than 75 degrees and at half, e.g. 45 degrees, the crosshead angle, e.g. 90 degrees, between inlet and outlet extrusion axes of the crosshead. The crosshead angles may also be 45 or 60 degrees.

Title: Resin compositions
IPC: C08L71/02
Filed: 1961-03-23
Abstract: The invention comprises association products of from 90 to 5 parts by weight of a polymeric ether compound containing at least an average of 400 non-cyclic aliphatic oxygen ether groups and from 10 to 95 parts by weight of a compound which contains at least one phenolic group. They are formed by merely contacting or mixing the components. The products may also include a polycarboxylic acid containing 0.3 to 1.7 free carboxylic acid groups per 100 molecular weight and having an average molecular weight of 600 to 2,000,000, e.g. polyacrylic acid. The association may be formed with or without condensation of the phenolic compound which may be in the form of a phenol-aldehyde condensate. Specified polyethers include polyalkylene oxides, particularly polymers and copolymers of ethylene-, propylene- and butylene oxides; condensates of alkylene oxides with other compounds, e.g. mono- and poly-hydric alcohols, phenols, carbohydrates, novolaks, polyamides, cellulose and its derivatives, etc.; polyethers which have been reacted with diisocyanates, diepoxides and other compounds giving a wide variety of end-groups. Specified phenols include substituted and unsubstituted mono-, di-, tri- and higher poly-nuclear phenols, mixtures of isomers, extracts from natural products, e.g. tanning, and novalaks and resoles. The contacting of the polyether and phenolic compound may be effected in a solvent, e.g. water for polyethylene oxide, or a non-solvent, or mixed together as a hot melt or in conventional thermoplastic equipment. When mixed in solution, precipitation of the association product may occur at a pH below 8. This may be prevented by the addition of compounds such as water-soluble ketones, monoalkyl ethers of alkylene glycols, basic alkali metal compounds, ammonia, water-soluble amines, alcohols, and other organic compounds.  An aldehyde may be added to the polyether and phenol in any order and condensation effected with the aid of a catalyst. Inert additives which may be incorporated in the products include fillers, e.g. calcium carbonate, clay, mica, carbon black and wood flow; softening agents, e.g. water and alcohols; and dyes, pigments &c.  Many examples are given, including for comparison, association products of (25) a phenolformaldehyde condensate and polyvinyl ether, and (26) a phenol-formaldehyde condensate and carboxymethyl cellulose.  Uses: printing plates, gramophone records, gears, bearings, gaskets, washers, plugs, seal rings, pulleys, shoe soles, skis, tobacco containers, humidors, flower pots, floor tiles, pump impellers, pipes, solid rocket fuels, wood glues, films, sizing agents &c.

Abstract: 116,253. Shilstone, H. M. May 31, 1917, [Convention date]. Carbon.-Decolorizing-carbon is formed by carbonizing fibrous cereal material, rich in silica, such as rice hulls, straw, or chaff, wheat or oat straw, esparto, outer shells of corn stalks, sugarcane fibres, &c., by heating gradually to a glowing red heat out of contact with oxygen. The carbonized material is boiled with an alkaline material such as sodium or calcium hydrate, magnesia, or carbonates of alkali metals, or alkaline earth metals, to dissolve out resinous matters, and is then washed and boiled with acid. When using alkaline earth oxides or carbonates, these may be mixed with the materials before carboni. zation. The decolorizing-carbons may be used for decolourizing sugar-cane juices in neutral or alkaline solution, and remove the polyphenols and tannins from the juices.
