Abstract: 796,190. Feeding webs. TIMSONS. Ltd., and TIMSON, E. A. Dec. 5, 1956 [Dec. 6, 1955], No. 34958/55. Class 100(1) Web-feeding apparatus comprises a resilient roller 1 in peripheral contact with a driven roller 4 and a freely rotatable roller 5 co-operating with the resilient roller, such that a web may be gripped between the rollers 1, 5 to effect web feed, at least one of the rollers being mounted in movable bearings and loaded to exert a variable pressure between the driven roller 4 and the resilient roller 1, due to it being more resilient than the other roller, so as to deform the latter roller to thereby vary the speed of the web. As shown, a roller 1 of rubber or similarly deformable material is carried by a spindle 2 mounted in levers 3 which can rock about an axis a. A driven roller 4 of steel contacting the periphery of the roller 1 is mounted in fixed bearings. A roller 5 of steel is rotatably mounted in arms 7a of bell-crank levers 7. The bellcrank levers 7 rock about an axds b. A flexible cable 8 carrying weights 10 is attached to arms 7b of the levers 7, such that the roller 5 presses the roller 1 into contact with the roller 4, thereby deforming the surface of the roller 1; increases in such pressure causes the roller 1 to rotate more slowly and vice versa. In a modification, both the rollers 1 and 5 are mounted in bell-crank levers which are adjustably loaded to rock the rollers 4 and 5 downwardly. In a further modification, the roller 1 is mounted in fixed bearings, while the rollers 5 and 4 are mounted in bell-crank levers adjustably loaded so as to press against the roller 1 interposed therebetween.
Patent GB-751598-A (GB)
Title: Meta-substituted phenols and method for their synthesis
Filed: 1953-12-16
Abstract: The invention comprises 3:5-di-isopropyl phenol and 5-isopropyl resorcinol, and a process for their manufacture wherein a mono- or di-hydroperoxide of 1:3:5-tri-isopropyl benzene is ketonically decomposed.  Phloroglucinol is obtained by decomposition of the trihydroperoxide.  The hydroperoxides are prepared by the oxidation with oxygen or an oxygen-containing gas of 1:3:5-tri-isopropyl benzene, alone or in the presence of a catalyst such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide, pyridine, tribenzylamine, iron stearate, copper acetate or hexa-pyridine cobaltic chloride.  An induction period in the oxidation is overcome by the addition of a small amount of the monohydroperoxide.  For the preparation of the monohydroperoxide conversions of up to 30 per cent calculated as monohydroperoxide are employed.  Similarly for the di- and tri-hydroperoxides conversions of 60-80 per cent and of at least 80 per cent respectively are employed.  The monohydroperoxide is separated from the di- and tri-hydroperoxides by fractional distillation or by precipitating the di- and tri-hydroperoxides as their sodium or other suitable salts.  The di- and tri-hydroperoxides are separated by fractional crystallization.  The separated hydroperoxides may be decomposed to give acetone and 3:5-di-isopropyl phenol or 5-isopropyl resorcinol or phloroglucinol, or alternatively the mixture of hydroperoxides is decomposed and the phenols separated by known methods.  The ketonic decomposition occurs when the hydroperoxides are heated or treated with ultra-violet light but preferably acid decomposing agents are used such as organic sulphonic acids, ferric chloride, perchloric acid, sulphuric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrochloric acid, trichloracetic acid and hydrogen chloride. 3:5-Di-isopropyl phenol forms phenolic resins when reacted with formaldehyde in acid or alkaline medium and 5-isopropyl resorcinol reacts with formaldehyde to form a liquid glue.  The preparation of the hydroperoxides from 1:3:5-tri-isopropyl benzene by heating and passing air in the presence of catalysts and the monohydroperoxide, by heating in the presence of air and a metal naphthenate, and by heating in a thin film in air is described. In Examples (1) a solution of the monohydroperoxide in 1:3:5-tri-isopropyl benzene is decomposed with p-toluene sulphonic acid and 3:5-di-isopropyl phenol recovered and converted into the corresponding phosphate by reaction with phosphorus oxychloride; (2) a solution of the dihydroperoxide in toluene is added to a toluene solution of p-toluene sulphonic acid and 5-isopropyl resorcinol obtained; (3) a solution of the trihydroperoxide in glacial acetic acid is decomposed by the addition of perchloric acid and phloroglucinol obtained. Specification 754,125, [Group IV (a)], is referred to.
