Title: Improvements in and relating to spark plugs
IPC: H01T13/05
Filed: 1935-12-05
Abstract: 466,428. Sparking plugs ; electric couplings. GENERAL MOTORS CORPORATION. Dec. 5, 1935, No. 33685. Convention date, Dec. 7, 1934. [Class 7 (iv)] [Also in Group XXXVI] Heat transmission from a shielded sparking - plug to the high-tension lead is reduced by using materials of low conductivity in the connecting members. The sheathing 34, the insulated wire 41 and the tubular extension 20 of the plug casing may be of nichrome or stainless-steel. The connector may be straight or curved. The insulating- material 38 of the connector may be extended into tube 20 which is mica-lined. In a modification, material of low conductivity is interposed in the form of a washer 69, Fig. 6, with extensions 70, 71 in each direction. A stainlesssteel casing 74 and wire 41 of low-conductivity is again provided. To secure the low - con. ductivity wire 88 to the cable-wire 91 a spherical head 93 on the wire 88 may be locked within curved fingers 92 by a slidable sleeve 94, the end flange 98 of which is engaged by the act of tightening up the union nut 97. Outwardly turned portions on the fingers 92 may be provided to centre the coupling in the recess 89. The central electrode may be hollow for the greater part of its length or have a core of highly conductive material; it is enclosed in a sleeve 28 of metal such as copper or silver which is a better conductor than the electrode, and is coated with a metal such as chromium or nickel resistant to oxidation. This sleeve extends throughout substantially the whole length of the plug. A brass ferrule is shrunk or pressed on the mica-enclosed electrode, the cross-section of which may be reduced where the ferrule is applied. Heat absorbed by the central electrode is transferred by the sleeve 28, and brass ferrule 24 to cooling ribs 31. The outer end of the hollow electrode is supported by a plug 29<1>, and gas-tightness at this point may be ensured by a filling of ductile metal, for example copper foil, clamped between the outer end of the electrode and the mica lining 30 by pressure on the ferrule 24 or expansion of the hollow end of the electrode. According to the Specification as open to inspection under Sect. 91 the sparking terminals on the plug casing are formed of a core of good-conducting material such as copper, and a shell of more resistant material. This subjectmatter does not appear in the Specification as accepted.

IPC: D06F75/14
Filed: 1921-12-15
Abstract: 191,932. Walker, O. Dec. 15, 1921. Electric hand-irons; steaming-apparatus.-An electrically-heated smoothing-iron with a steaming and damping arrangement is made so that the handle 6 serves as a reservoir for water admitted through a needle-valve 5 to a pipe 12 in the upper part 13 of the iron where it is vaporized by the heat from the electrical resistance 2 embedded in the lower member 3.

[Also in Group II] In fluid bed apparatus for heating or cooling material in elongate form, for example for cooling steel strip after tempering, comprising an open-topped vessel 1 surrounded by a water jacket 2 and having as its base a porous plate 3 in which are slots 6, 7 for the entry and exit of the strip of material 8 which passes around guide rolls 9, 10, the bed material being fluidized by air which enters a chamber 11 disposed below the plate through an inlet 12 and passing through the plate, the slots 6, 7 are sealed against loss of bed material by jets of air blown through slot-like orifices 15 disposed in the sides of the slots 6, 7. In cross-section the slots converge and then diverge as shown in Fig. 2a each being slightly wider at its narrowest part than the thickness of the strip 8. Air supply tubes 13 located below the plate 3 are connected to air channels 14 which open into the linear orifices 15.

Title: A process for the partial chlorination of methane
IPC: C07C19/01
Filed: 1961-09-22
Abstract: A process for the partial chlorination of methane comprises feeding chlorine and methane to a first reaction zone maintained at 350-550 DEG  C. to form a gaseous product stream containing CH4, HCl, CCl4 and partially chlorinated methanes; cooling this stream to not above 50 DEG  C. to condense at least CCl4 out of the stream; passing the remaining gaseous material to a second reaction zone maintained at 350-550 DEG  C. while simultaneously passing additional chlorine into the second reaction zone, to form a gaseous product stream containing CH4, HCl, CCl4 and partially chlorinated methanes; cooling this stream to not above 50 DEG  C. to condense CCl4 and other chlorinated methanes from the stream; absorbing the HCl from the gaseous stream; and drying and recycling through at least one of the reaction zones, together with additional chlorine and, if desired, methane, the remaining gaseous materials.  A condensation temperature of 20 DEG C. removes CCl4 and CHCl3; one of not above 0 DEG  C., preferably - 25 DEG  C., removes CH2Cl2 also; and one of lower value, e.g. - 40 DEG  to - 50 DEG  C., removes CH3Cl additionally.

Title: Process of and apparatus for the preparation of reaction products of chlorine water with other substances
IPC: C01B11/02
Filed: 1954-12-01
Abstract: <PICT:0766945/III/1> In the preparation of a reaction product of chlorine water and an aqueous solution of another substance, the chlorine water is prepared immediately before the reaction by aspirating chlorine gas into an injector through which water passes under pressure. By this process chlorine water may be reacted with sodium chlorite solution, ammonium chloride solution, or sea water to prepare chlorine dioxide, nitrogen trichloride, or bromine and iodine respectvely.  In preparing chlorine dioxide, water passing through injector 3 aspirates chlorine from conduit 9, having meter 11, and the resulting chlorine water passing through pipe 5 is mixed with concentrated sodium chlorite solution from conduit 6, having meter 8. The reaction solution flows into vessel 1 having filling 2, and an inert gas, e.g. air, entering at 14 extracts and dilutes the chlorine dioxide, which is exhausted at 15.  Water containing sodium chloride is withdrawn at 16.  Some air may be drawn through opening 12 in conduit 9 and mixed with the chlorine, and in the event of an interruption in the water supply to the injector the chlorine is vented to air through 12 to avoid any possibility of explosion. Specification 307,473 [Class 90] is referred to.
