Title: Disproportionation process
Inventor: TURNER LEONARD
IPC: C07C6/04
Filed: 1966-02-07
Abstract: Acyclic olefines are disproportionated, e.g. at 25 DEG  C., in the presence of MoO3 or Re2O7 on Al2O3 which has been prepared by subliming on to acid treated Al2O3 a thermally decomposable compound of Mo or Re. Preferred olefines are C3- 30 and many from C3 to C8 are specified. In examples propylene is disproportionated to yield ethylene and n-butenes.ALSO:Disproportionation catalysts are prepared by treating Al2O3 with acid and heating an oxide of Mo or Re, or a compound of Mo or Re decomposable thereto, in a stream of carrier gas whereby the oxide of Mo or Re is sublimed onto Al2O3 located downstream.  The alumina may be activated with HCl or CH3COOH and the catalyst which usually consists of MoO3 or Re2O7 on g Al3O3 may subsequently be activated by heating in an inertx/or oxidising gas.

Abstract: 1275501 Delivering cigarettes &c in orderly arrangement. HAUNI-WERKE KORBER & CO KG 10 Feb 1970 [13 March 1969] 6335/70 Heading A2C An apparatus for transferring cigarettes or other rod-like tobacco articles moving in the axial direction into a feed path in which they move transversely in two rows, comprises a transfer means for transferring the articles longitudinally in pairs into holders of a collecting drum, an article retarding means, and a position-adjusting means for the articles adapted to move at least one article of a transferred pair into a desired final position on the respective holder. As shown in Fig. 3, pairs of cigarettes 3a, 3b are accelerated by rotating discs 8, 9 into holders 14 of a rotating collecting drum 1. A stationary plate 15 seals the holders 14 axially in the transfer region A and a cover (18) seals them at least in the transfer region A and in the following positionadjusting region C. Suction applied to a slot 21 initially aids the transfer of a pair of cigarettes 3a, 3b into a holder 14, retards them as the leading cigarette 3a passes over the slot 21, and finally stops them as the cigarette 3a fully covers the whole length of the slot 21. Suction is then cut off from the slot 21 and simultaneously applied both to a pair of openings 32, 33, to hold the cigarette 3b in its arrested position, and to an opening 28 to draw the cigarette 3a further along the holder 14 to reposition it with its leading end just covering the opening 28 where it is arrested. Finally, suction is additionally applied to an opening 37 to more securely hold the cigarette 3a in its adjusted position until just before the pair of cigarettes 3a, 3b is transferred to a conveyer drum (42) when suction to all the openings is cut off. The suction is applied to the various openings in known manner by means of a stationary slotted control ring (27). In another embodiment, the slot 21 is replaced by a plurality of interconnected openings and the leading cigarette (103a) is held in its final position while the position of the trailing cigarette (103b) is adjusted. In a further embodiment, the position of both cigarettes (203a, 203b) is adjusted.

A retractable fountain pen comprises a front barrel portion 1 with a front aperture 2 and a rear barrel portion 16, the two portions being mounted for relative rotation. A fixed cylinder 3 with a linear slot 4 is retained by a guide cylinder 6 fitted in the front barrel portion 1. A shutter blade 9 for closing the aperture 2 has a fixed pin 9a and is slidably fitted in a guide part 8 formed by and between the port barrel 1 and the guide cylinder 6. A rotating cylinder 11 provided with a first cam slot 13 and a second cam slot 12 is mounted between the bent barrel wall and fixed cylinder 3 and is adapted to be rotated by the rear barrel portion 16. The fixed pin 9a of the shutter blade 9 engages with the second cam slot 12 and the linear slot 4 of the fixed cylinder 3, whereby rotation of the cylinder 11 provides forward and rearward movement of the shutter blade 9 in the guide 8 to close off and open the aperture 2. A movable writing unit comprising an integral assembly of a split nib 24, a feed bar 18, a sleeve 25, and an ink reservoir 26, has a pin 25a which engages the first cam-slot 13 and the linear slot 4. Rotation of the cylinder 11 provides projection and retraction of the writing assembly in co-operation with the movement of the shutter blade. The pin 25a may be fixed either to the sleeve 25, the nib 24, a cover for the nib or the reservoir 26, as illustrated in Figs. 13, 18, 19 and 20, respectively (not shown).

Title: Improvements in or relating to machines adapted for use in the manufacture of shoes
IPC: A43D21/12
Filed: 1965-02-16
Abstract: The machine for shaping the heel end of shoe uppers described in Specification 1,034,662 is modified in the following respects.  Shoe Support (Fig. 1, not shown).  The last pin 10 is pivotably mounted within adjustable limits on a member 40 which is slidably adjustable on the jack 20 transversely of the shoe and locked in adjusted position by a spring pressed pawl 58 when the jack is raised to operative position.  Rearwardly of the last pin a V-block 14 for locating the last is adjustable transversely on a yieldably supported stem 90 which is slidable but not rotatable in a cylinder 92. Cylinder 92 is slidable but not rotatable in a hollow head 22 which is adjustable heightwise on the jack and which also carries a toe support.  When the jack moves towards the operative position it initially moves relatively to the V-block because the latter is held in lowered position by the action of spring 108, then head 22 engages and raises the V-block.  The initial relative movement provides clearance for the subsequent advance of the heel band into engagement with the shoe.  A mirror 111 assists in accurately positioning the back seam of the upper on the last.  Holddown.  The spring pressed holddown 16, which is adjusted heightwise by means of nut 116, also serves to limit upward movement of the jack to the operative position.  A further spring-pressed member 18, which engages the extremity of the heel end of the insole and is adjustably positioned lengthwise of the shoe, is swung about its pivot 142 against spring 150 to an out of the way position by the advancing wipers.  Heelband (Fig. 6, not shown).  The plastic heelband 178 is backed by an assembly comprising a centrally-located headed pin 210 slidable longitudinally of the shoe, two chains 208, two side plates 212, two short chains 214 (a sheet of thin flexible material 218, and a thin flexible metal sheet 220.  Wipers (Figs. 7 and 8, not shown).  Wiper elements 230 are slidably adjustable lengthwise in recesses in the side wiper plates 226, 228, and are secured by means of screw 246 and slot 244.  Plates 226, 228 operate in a lower plane than end wipers 224, 222, and this variation is accommodated by the outwardly bent portions 238 of resilient wiping members.
