Patent GB-242790-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to dyeing machinery
IPC: D06B3/04
Filed: 1924-11-15
Abstract: 242,790. Dean, J. Nov. 15, 1924. Jigger machines.-In a dyeing machine in which the material N, Fig. 1, is drawn from a beam B, through a vat and through nip rollers N to a second beam B<1>, and vice versa, one or more guide rollers are adapted to be moved into and out of the vat to either side of the nip rollers N to give immersion to the material in either direction of its travel, only the immersed roller contacting with the material. The material is drawn over a heating element C and through a small movable vat V in which it is guided by a fixed roller R and two movable rollers R', R<2> which are mounted in a vertically movable frame or fork F. When movement of the material in one direction is completed, the vat is moved to the other side of the nip rollers N where similar rollers R', R<2> are lowered into it, the arrangement making re-threading of the material between the rollers unnecessary. A single large vat may replace the movable vat V. In another form, rollers R, Fig. 4, are mounted on an endless chain D surrounding gear wheels W, W<1>, W<2> by which it is moved to bring one or other of the rollers R into the operative position.

Title: Improvements in and relating to electric circuit breakers
IPC: H01H9/54
Filed: 1930-09-12
Abstract: 366,966. Arc - rupturing switches. BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON CO., Ltd., Crown House, Aldwych, London.-(Assignees of Soc. Generale de Constructions Electriques et Mechaniques Alsthom ; 146, Avenue des Champs Elysees, Paris.) Sept. 12, 1930, No. 27320. Convention date, Sept. 12, 1929. [Class 38 (v).] To enable a high-tension air-break switch 3 to open under load, it is shunted by an arrangement of spark-gaps 4, which, just prior to the opening of the switch 3, are supplied with high - frequency currents from a source 5 and thereby caused to break down. A part of the load is thus shunted through the gaps 4, leaving the balance to be dealt with by the switch 3. The diversion of load is assisted by a reactance 2, which also serves to prevent shorting the source 5 through the closed switch 3. In a modification, Fig. 2, a condenser 9 is adapted to be charged, for instance, by the secondary 7 of a transformer having its primary 6 in the line, and to discharge through a spark-gap 8 in series with the gaps 4, which spark-gap 8 serves to open-circuit the line when the switch 3 opens. With this arrangement, excess current on the line may be arranged to initiate the opening of the switch 3. In a further form, Fig. 3 (not shown), the reactance 2 is dispensed with, and the device 4 is arranged in two parts, the discharges through which are in opposition directions but have a common return. An arrangement similar to lightning arresters may be employed as the device 4, and the latter may also be arranged to be discharged across when the switch 3 is being closed.

Abstract: 1456563 Fluidized bed kiln; burners GOSUDARST VSES NI INST STROIT MATERIAL I KONSTRUKT 20 June 1974 27452/74 Headings F4B and F4T A fluidized-bed kiln for calcining mineral stock (e.g. for producing aggregate for hardening concrete) has burners fitted into a hearth, the burners being uniformly distributed over the hearth's entire area. Each burner comprises a gaseous fuel tube 18, Fig. 3, a surrounding air tube 17, a cone shaped cap 22 with a central passage 25, and a diffuser 23. Jets of air and gaseous fuel are formed, the air jet being directed away from the vertical and diverging from the fuel jet. The bed is fluidized by the gaseous fuel and air. The fuel is burnt in the bed. The examples are of the production of (1) keramzite sand, (2) shungizite sand and (3) expanded perlite sand. As shown in Fig. 1, a shaft 1 is divided by a blank partition 4 into a calcining zone D and a preheating zone C. Material to be calcined is fed through a pipe 5 into the preheating zone C, falls on to a grating 8, is fluidized and preheated by gases passing upwardly through the grating, and thereafter passes through a pipe 6 to the calcining zone D. In zone D, the preheated material is fluidized by air and natural gas which are supplied from manifolds 13, 14 and through a device 12 which includes burners as shown in Fig. 3. The gas burns in the bed to calcine the material. Calcined material is discharged through a pipe 9. The combustion gases from the zone D pass to the preheating zone C through a cyclone 10.

They are particularly useful in conjunction with alkyd resins, which may be oil modified, in coating compositions.  They may be used with other resins e.g. phenolic, other aminoplasts or epoxy resins.  In Examples 1 and 2, butanol solutions of butylated cyclohexylmelamineformaldehyde condensates are produced. Example 3 produces a methanol solution of methylated cyclohexylmelamine-formaldehyde condensate.  Example 4 describes a coating composition containing the ether of Example 1, a coconut oil modified glyceryl-phthalate resin, titanium dioxide, xylol and butanol.  Example 5 is similar but uses a soya-bean oil modified glyceryl phthalate and has lamp black as an additional pigment.
