Title: Improvements in and relating to walls
Inventor: GAZE PETER WILLIAM WHITE
IPC: E04B2/82
Filed: 1954-10-29
Abstract: 789,379. Partition walls. ARCON (PROPRIETARY), Ltd. Oct. 31, 1955 [Oct. 29, 1954], No. 31358/54. Class 20(4) An interior dividing wall comprises a cornice member 14 and a skirting member 15 secured to a ceiling C and a floor F respectively and a series of panels 1 grooved along top and bottom edges at 19 and 17 to be engaged by the cornice and skirting members to secure the panels in edge to edge relationship, the top groove 19 being deeper than the bottom groove 17 and sufficiently wide as to permit each panel to be inserted by offering the panel to the cornice member at an angle, swing- ing the panel inwardly and upwardly and then allowing the bottom groove to drop into engagement with the skirting member, the top groove 19 having a tongue 20 projecting into a groove 21 in the cornice member 14 which has one side inclined to allow insertion but holds the tongue tightly on assembly. As shown in Fig..3, the skirting member 15 has a tongue 16 to fit the groove 17 and the central tongue 20 co-operates with the groove 21 which is dovetailed, the tongue 20 sliding along the inclined surface 22 or 23 during insertion, but engaging across the narrowest part of the dovetail groove to prevent play. Flat or beaded edge rubber strips 24 may be glued to the cornice member 14 to reduce sound penetration. As shown in Fig. 4, the panels 1 may have along their vertical edges alternate grooves 6 and tongues 7 by which the panels are locked together the outermost panel of each partition having a relatively deep groove 9 for engagement by trim members. Trim members may give a direct join to an outer wall, or be L-shaped as at 1D, Fig. 4, to join partitions at right angles, cruciform to join four partitions or of T-section as at 12, Fig. 6, to join three partitions, when a cover strip 13. to match the panels 1, may be added to fill in the recess between the two partitions. Instead of tongues 7 and grooves 6, loose tongues may be used to connect panels grooved along both vertical edges. The panels may be relatively narrow to provide a decorative effect.

Title: Process and device for purifying metal vapours
IPC: C22B26/22
Filed: 1958-10-03
Abstract: 851,776. Purifying metal vapours. KNAPSACK-GRIESHEIM A.G. Oct. 3, 1958 [Oct. 10, 1957], No. 31709/58. Class 82(1) Metal vapours, such as magnesium, zinc, cadmium, alkali metals or alkaline earth metals, are purified by being passed through a filter layer consisting of a loose, flowing, lumpy or granular substantially inert material which is continuously renewed, the vapours being maintained, during their passage through the material, at a temperature above the condensation point of the pure product by additional and controllable heating. In the apparatus shown the filter material is introduced into the purification chamber through pipe 7 and is guided by vertical guides 8 and 14 and inclined run-off plane 15, the latter having a roughened upper surface, as to leave spaces 2 and 19 opposite which gas inlet 1 and gas outlet 5 are mounted respectively, the gas inlet and outlet being at right angles to each other. The gas spaces 2 and 19 and the adjacent free surfaces 3 and 4 of the filter material are heated by heaters 12 and 16 to temperatures respectively above the condensation point of any vapour contaminant and just above the condensation point of the pure vapour product. Condensation at parts of the apparatus such as inlets and outlet and observation windows, e.g. 10, is prevented by flushing with an inert gas. Further control of temperature in the apparatus may be obtained by varying the rate of feed of filter material and the height of filter material on the run-off plane may be altered by varying the height of the guide 8. The filter material may be coke or it may be a material that, by reaction with contaminants in the vapour, liberates a vapour of the required product, e.g. where the vapour is of magnesium, dolomite may be used as filter material. The purified vapour is condensed in a condenser 6. In a modification (Figs. 3 and 4, not shown), the vapour inlet and outlet are reversed so that the vapour flows in countercurrent to the filter material.

Abstract: 395,924. Making compound plates. JORDAN, F., 16, Bayernallee, Charlottenburg, Berlin. Nov. 14, 1932, No. 32198. [Classes 83 (ii) and 83 (iv).] Rolling.-Superposed plates 11 of different hardness which are to be united by rolling in a mill 1, 2 are cut to carying lengths to compensate for variations in the elongation of the individual plates consequent on their different hardness and are first aligned at their forward ends by a vertically sliding stop 4, which is then dropped to allow the pile to be introduced between the rolls of the mill by a pusher 10, profiled to correspond to the irregular rear surface of the pile. Lateral displacement of the plates is prevented by a guide comprising a member 5 having two or more spindles 6 with flanges 7 which turn over the top plate, the spindle being pressed on to the plates by springs 8. A screwed stem 9 allows vertical adjustment of the member 5 to be effected.

Title: Preparation of ª--ª-, ª--ª+-unsaturated carboxylic derivatives
IPC: C07C51/14
Filed: 1958-10-09
Abstract: The invention comprises a -b ,d -e -unsaturated carboxylic derivatives of formula <FORM:0888162/IV (b)/1> where n is 1 or 2, n1 is 0 or 1, R is H or a C1-20 unsubstituted or substituted aliphatic group and R1 is H or C1-20 aliphatic, hydroxyaliphatic, arylaliphatic or cycloaliphatic group; except that 2,5-heptadienoic and 2,5-octadienoic acids in which the double bond conjugated with the carboxyl group is in the trans-configuration are excluded.  They are prepared by reacting an allyl derivative R-[(CH2)n1-CH=CH-CH2Cl]n and acetylene with a solution of nickel carbonyl in R1OH.  Temperatures of 0 DEG C.-75 DEG C., generally 25 DEG C.-60 DEG C. may be used. Carbon monoxide may be introduced to renew nickel carbonyl reacted so that it is not necessary to supply stoichiometric amounts of nickel carbonyl. Buffers (e.g. MgCO3, CaCO3, NaH2PO4) or solvents (e.g. acetone, glycol ethers, diethylketone) may be used.  Continuous operation with recycling of gases is possible. Preferably excess acetylene is used.  The products have the double bond conjugated with the carboxyl group predominantly in the cis-configuration and can be converted to the trans-isomer by heating to about 250 DEG C.  The products are stated to be useful as plasticisers.  Specific compounds claimed are: 2,5-hexadienoic acid and its methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, benzyl and ethylene glycol esters; 2,5-heptadienoic acid with the double bond conjugated with the carboxyl group in the cisconfiguration; methyl 2,5-heptadienoate; methyl 7 - acetoxy - 2,5 - heptadienoate, 7 - cyano - 2,5 heptadienoic acid and its methyl, isopropyl and cyclohexyl esters; dimethyl 2,5-octadiendioate; and dimethyl tetradeca-2,5,9,12-tetraendioate.  Caproic acid, methyl caproate, heptanoic acid, methyl heptanoate, dimethyl suberate and dimethyl tetradecandioate are prepared by catalytic hydrogenation of hexadienoic acid, methyl hexadienoate, heptadienoic acid, methyl heptadienoate, dimethyl octadiendioate and dimethyl tetradecatetraendioate respectively.

Abstract: 1,096,189. Moulding tyres. CONTINENTAL GUMMI-WERKE A.G. July 28, ]965 [July 31, 1964], No. 32229/65. Heading B5A. In a method of moulding and vulcanizing a pneumatic tyre in a press comprising upper and lower mould parts 4, 3 and an inflatable bag 10 on which a tyre blank is mounted, the beads c and d of the blank are centred on the bag by rings 11 and 14, and are brought together, with the bag inflated, to their final moulded positions before the upper and lower mould parts are brought together. The bag edges are secured in vertically adjustable discs 8, 9 which, initially, are spaced well apart enabling the blank to be placed around and spaced from the deflated bag. In this position the bead centring ring 14 is spaced upwardly from the upper disc. The discs 8 and 9 are then raised and lowered respectively, and the ring 14 lowered, whereby the blank is centred, the bag inflated, and the beads of the blank brought to the positions indicated. The upper part 2 of the press is then moved downwardly to force the tyre blank assembly against the mould part 3; further movement of the part 2, with the mould part 4 stationary, causes mould segments 7 to move radially inwardly to form the tyre tread. Relative movement between the parts 2 and 4 is provided by springs 5.
