Title: Improvements in or relating to knitting machines
IPC: D04B35/04
Filed: 1937-05-08
Abstract: 495,379. Knitting-machines. JACQUARD KNITTING MACHINE CO., Inc. May 8, 1937, No. 13201. Convention date, May 9, 1936. [Class 74 (ii)] A cylinder-and-dial rib machine is provided with means for selecting needles at a feeder to take or omit taking yarn and means disposed at a point removed from the feeder for making a selection from those needles which took yarn and causing the selected needles to shed their loops. As described, the machine is provided with two feeders A, B and a shedding station T angularly disposed from each of the feeders so that the needles can be selected for shedding entirely independently of the selection at the feeders for taking yarn. The patterning means comprises a number of pattern drums 14 distributed around the machine and carrying perforated paper patterns. Two yarn guides 29, 30, movable into and out of operative position under pattern control may be provided at each feeder: At the shedding station, cams 33, 34, 35 are provided for raising the cylinder needles 5 to such position that clips 24 thereon are thrust into the loops on the needles, and cams 36, 37 act upon the dial needles 6 to project them into the clips 24 so that as the cylinder needles are retracted by a cam 38 the loops are transferred to the disc needles. A cam 39 serves to restore the dial needles to their rest position. Needles that do not shed their loops pass along a track 40, the needles selected by the appropriate pattern drum 14 and raised by a cam 16 are actuated by the cams 33, 34, 35. A cam 47 may be raised when it is desired to transfer all cylinder loops to the dial needles. Cams 17, 18 arranged to raise needles selected by the pattern drums 14 at the feeders A, B, may be adjustable so that the needles may either be raised to clearing or to tucking position. By providing means for racking the dial needles with respect to the cylinder needles, a racked selvedge can be produced. Knitted fabrics.-Fabrics patterned by eyelets, dropped stitches, rib work on a jersey background, tuckwork, or by using yarns of different colour may be made. The fabric may be made in the form of individual garment pieces joined together by draw threads, and having a racked selvedge and a broad rib border or cuff. Specification 223,619, [Class 74 (ii)], is referred to.

Title: Improvements in or relating to internal-combustion engine pistons
IPC: F01P3/10
Filed: 1920-05-14
Abstract: 168,956. Margretson, O., and Widdowson, W. P. May 14, 1920. Pistons; pistons, heating and cooling; pistons, attaching to rod. - In an internal-combustion engine the piston is cooled by steam passed through passages in the piston. In the case of a multi-cylinder engine, the steam is passed in series through the pistons, and is cooled after leaving one piston and before entering another by apparatus which may be utilized for heating oil or water. After cooling the pistons, the steam may be utilized for heating or for motive power, e.g. it may be utilized in the same engine in the ends of the cylinders remote from the combustion chambers, either with simple, compound, or multiple expansion. Steam is supplied by telescopic pipes 10, 12, Fig. 1, to a pipe 17 in the piston-rod, and passes to the hollow interior and escapes through the annular space between the pipe 17 and the piston-rod, and telescopic pipes 23, 24, to a cooling-apparatus 26, from which it passes to the next piston of the engine. The piston consists of a head 30, Fig. 2, secured to a sleeve 31 which is bolted to a flange at the end of the piston-rod 15. The sleeve 31 is surrounded by a casing 5 secured to the piston-rod. Annular ribs 19 on the head 30, form grooves, which communicate by gaps in the ribs. The steam is admitted by the pipe 17 to the space 18 at the centre of the piston head, and passes by the annular grooves to the periphery 20, and by a passage 21 to the interior of the sleeve 31 and of the piston-rod. Several of the grooves may be placed in parallel by making coinciding gaps in adjacent ribs 19, Fig. 5. In a four-stroke engine the sleeve 31 is dispensed with, the piston-rod being formed with a flange bolted directly to the head.

Filed: 1965-04-02
Abstract: In the manufacture of ornamental glass slabs by casting molten glass, a plurality of glass rods, which term includes thin ribbons or threads, are placed on the casting surface to become embedded in the cast glass.  The rods and/or the glass slab may be coloured and the two glasses are either the same, only slightly different, as by the addition of a small amount of colouring oxide, or where they are different glasses, the two glasses have substantially similar coefficients of expansion.  Preferably, to allow for the initially hotter glass, the rods are wider and thicker on the casting surface adjacent that part of the casting surface which just receives the molten glass.

Title: Method of producing dehydrated orange juice
Inventor: DORSEY WILLIAM RAOUL
IPC: A23L2/08
Filed: 1957-05-06
Abstract: Dehydrated orange juice is produced by raising the temperature of a liquid orange juice concentrate rapidly to 140-155 DEG  F., simultaneously reducing the pressure as rapidly as possible to approximately 5/16 inch or less of mercury, maintaining these conditions until the product has puffed and then cooling rapidly to air temperature under reduced pressure, grinding the product to a fine powder, and adding a powdery preparation of orange oil.  In a preferred embodiment, a frozen, partially dehydrated orange juice is thawed out and mixed with corn syrup solids and a small quantity of sodium sulphite.  This mixture is spread on trays and transferred to a heated vacuum dehydrating chamber in which it is heated as rapidly as possible and at the same time the pressure is reduced.  After the mixture has taken a cake-like form it is cooled, the vacuum is broken and the mix is ground in a dry atmosphere.  5 per cent of orange oil is then added to 95 per cent of molten sorbitol and the mixture allowed to harden on trays and then ground to powder.  This mixture is then added in a proportion of 1 per cent with 99 per cent of the powdered orange juice mixture and the whole packaged in a moisture-proof container.  One part of this powder to 9 parts of water gives a product comparable to that of reconstituted orange juice.ALSO:Dehydrated orange juice is produced by raising the temperature of a liquid orange juice concentrate rapidly to 140-155 DEG  F., simultaneously reducing the pressure as rapidly as possible to 5/16 inch or less of mercury, maintaining these conditions until the product has puffed and then cooling rapidly to air temperature under reduced pressure, griding the product to a fine powder, and adding a powdery preparation of orange oil.
