Title: Improvements in and relating to the conduct of acetaldehyde condensation reactions
IPC: C07C45/72
Filed: 1930-03-29
Abstract: Aldols; paraldehyde.-The condensation of acetaldehyde with itself or with other aldehydes in presence of water and a catalyst, for instance for the production of aldol or paraldehyde, is effected in presence of a hydrated salt such as sodium carbonate or sulphate decahydrate.  The hydrated salt may itself be the catalyst, as in the case of sodium carbonate for the aldol condensation.  The hydrated salt supplies the water necessary for the solution of a sufficient quantity of the catalyst and absorbs the heat of reaction, but part of the reaction heat may be absorbed by external cooling, in which case a smaller quantity of hydrated salt is employed.  In examples, aldol is produced from acetaldehyde and sodium carbonate decahydrate at 10 DEG  C., from acetaldehyde and sodium carbonate and sulphate decahydrates at 15 - 16 DEG  C., and from acetaldehyde, sodium sulphate crystals and sodium carbonate solution, the sodium carbonate being added in several portions at intervals of half an hour, air being excluded by a current of nitrogen and a reflux condenser being employed. In another example paraldehyde is produced from acetaldehyde, sodium sulphate decahydrate, and sodium bisulphate at 12-18 DEG  C., further portions of catalyst being added each half-hour.

Title: Improvements in or relating to starting and stopping mechanisms
IPC: D05B69/22
Filed: 1928-04-04
Abstract: 314,147. Armstrong, J. J. V., (Union Special Machine Co.). April 4, 1928. Sewing-machine; starting and stopping gear.- gearing for starting sewing-machines &c. and for stopping them, provided the operating-pedal is released, after a predetermined number of revolutions, employs means serving to act upon the rollers of a roller ratchet clutch for disengagement, and, subsequently to such disengagement, to stop the driven shaft positively and to prevent its rebound. A drum 3 is driven by an adjustable friction coupling from a driving-pulley 5 and is clutched to the driven shaft 2 by a roller 16 engaging an inclined surface 15 or an arm 13 secured to the shaft. The roller is pressed to clutching-position by a spring 17 secured at its centre to an extension 25 of the arm 13 and bearing also on a lever 26 pivoted on the extension. An arm 20 loose on the shaft carries a lug 21 for engagement with the roller 16 and a lug 22 adapted to be engaged for clutch disengagement by a vertically-slidable stop-bar 23. The bar is lowered against spring action, to permit clutch engagement, by a pedal connected thereto by a flexible connection 53. An eccentric 42 secured on the shaft 2 actuates through a pawl 41 a ratchet wheel 43 turning on a stationary spindle 33 with an integral cam 38, which is provided with a gap 39 and checked by a brake 47. When the rotations of the shaft 2 have brought the gap 39 opposite to a lug 40 on the bar 23, the latter rises, provided that the pedal has been released. The arm 20 is stopped by striking the stop bar 23 and disengages the clutch roller, moving it to the end of its slot in the arm 13 and thus positively stopping the shaft. In this position, the lever 26 has slipped over and re-engaged with the back edge of the stop-bar to prevent rebound of the shaft. To change the number of revolutions made by the shaft 2 before stopping, another ratchet wheel 43 and cam 38 is substituted.

Class 143 An automatic feed weighing device, having the weigh pan mounted on a tripping beam, and emptied by discharge at its base, has the weigh pan swept by compressed air in the discharging direction during discharge. Material e.g. sticky powder, is fed from a hopper 20, Fig. 1 by a main feed vibrating tray 19, and a dribble feed vibrating tray 21 into the weigh pan 1 which is mounted on a beam 2 pivoted at 3 carrying a lever 43 at its other end; as the weigh pan fills, it drops, and lever 43 pivots opening first contacts 28 to stop the main feed vibrator 22, Fig. 3, later opening contacts 29 to stop the dribble feed vibrator 23, and energize a solenoid 30. Energization of solenoid 30, Fig. 4, removes stop 33 from spring loaded arm 35 which releases to clutch shaft 39 to driven pinion 38, Fig. 1, thus rotating cam 16, Fig. fast on shaft 39. As cam 16 rotates, wheel 15 is urged downwards to open the door 6 at the base of weight pan 1 over lever 10 fulcrumed at 11 and levers 14, 12; simultaneously a stop 29 on cam 16 actuates a lever 28 to open the valve 27 of a compressed air supply and allow a blast of compressed air to issue at 25, be deflected by cone 26 and sweep the weigh pan 1. The arm 28 is then urged by a spring to close the valve, and as the cam 16 completes one revolution, roller 15 rises and the door 6 closes under the action of spring 7. The lightening of the weigh pan has resulted in the closing of contacts 28 and the deenergization of solenoid 30, Fig. 4, so that arm 35 engages the stop 33 to declutch cam shaft 39 from the driven gear 38.
