Title: Improved method and apparatus for preparing sausages
Inventor: GRETLER ALBERT C
IPC: A22C11/00
Filed: 1962-10-31
Abstract: 987,603. Preparing sausages. ARMOUR & CO. Oct. 31, 1962, No.41242/62. Headings A2B and A2D. Sausages are prepared by encasing comminuted meat in a cylindrical mould, passing an electric current through the meat to coagulate protein in the meat and rolling the formed cylindrical sausage while directing thereon a heated gaseous medium to form a skin on the sausage. Comminuted meat or meat emulsion is cooked in cylindrical moulds 15 within a rotatable unit equipped with electrodes for passing a current through the comminuted meat, to form cylindrical sausages which are then rolled along plates 28 and 29 by a chain conveyer 30 equipped with transverse pusher bars 33 provided with forwardly extending ribs 34 for pushing the sausages. The formed sausages 16 are subjected during the rolling to a water wash at 90-100‹F. from a shower 18 for removing extraneous coagulation products such as protein, fat and water, a blast of hot air, preferably smoke-containing, between the conduits 21a and 21b, the application of aqueous dye (if desired) or hot wash water from a shower head 35, drying as by hot air in compartment 23 and air chilling in compartment 24; the sausages are then delivered by conveyers 25 and 26 to a packing unit 27. Alternatively, smoke may be applied after the sausages have been dyed and dried. For the air blast, the sausages are preferably impinged with sheets or ribbons of smoke-containing air at a temperature of from 150‹ to 250‹F. travelling at thirty feet per second or more (1,200-2,220 cubic feet per minute); directed along the axial direction of the sausages, the heated air travelling at such high velocity is effective in forming the skin upon the cylindrical sausages to provide a smooth, even covering. Figs. 3 to 6 (not shown) depict various arrangements of plenum chamber; certain of these require that the plate 28 be perforated. In the dyeing operation, hot aqueous dye at about 160‹F. is discharged on to the sausages from the shower head 35 and the overflow is collected in a container below for re-circulation; the plate 28 may be perforated to facilitate the collection of dye. The aqueous dye preferably contains an excess of vinegar above that ordinarily employed e.g. between 3.5 and 6 pints of vinegar per 100 U.S. gallons of water. Hot wash water at the same temperature is employed if dying is not desired. The term "sausage" covers all products comprising ground meat, such as beef, ham, veal, pork products, and frankfurters, bologna, luncheon loaf and other cooked sausage products. Specification 987,602 is referred to.

Abstract: 1403503 I C engine exhaust gas recirculation NISSAN MOTOR CO Ltd 6 Sept 1973 [9 Sept 1972 3 Oct 1972] 41917/73 Heading F1B The failure or incorrect operation of an exhaust gas recirculation metering valve 18, operated by a diaphragm 20 in response to the vacuum in the induction system, e.g. at a carburetter port 26 which is upstream of the throttle valve 12 in the minimum open position, is detected by a detector 32 which operates to cause a relay 58 to be actuated to energize an alarm 56, e.g. a buzzer or lamp. The detector 32 may comprise a diaphragm 34 carrying a contact 46 which engages the contact 48 to blow the fuse 62 and energize the relay 58 if the diaphragm 20 should rupture and the pressure in the detector chamber 36, normally equal to that in chamber 40, rises towards atmospheric pressure. With the fuse 62 blown the relay will, with the ignition switch 50 closed, remain energized due to the circuit through the load 60. The circuit to the fuse 62 may include three switches (64, 66, 68), Fig. 4 (not shown). One switch (64) is closed above a predetermined engine temperature, another switch (66) is closed above a predetermined vacuum, e.g. 50 mm Hg, in the induction system and the third switch (68) is closed if the valve 18 is not open to a predetermined extent, e.g. an extent corresponding to a predetermined induction vacuum, e.g. 45 mm Hg. The third switch (68) may be replaced by a temperature responsive switch (84), Fig. 7 (not shown) in the recirculation conduit downstream of the valve 18. The latter switch (84) is closed if the detected temperature is below a predetermined value, e.g. 100 or 200C, indicating the partial or complete lack of recirculation. The detector may comprise a switch (112, 114), Figs. 8 and 9 (not shown), operated by the valve 18 and open below a predetermined valve opening. The switch (112, 114) is in the circuit of an electromagnetic or electronic latching relay (96) which closes the circuit of the alarm when the ignition switch 50 and the valve operated switch (112, 114) are closed. The alarm 56 is energized until the valve 18 opens to the predetermined opening.

IPC: C04B35/532
Filed: 1959-12-10
Abstract: <PICT:0899598/III/1> In a process for producing a pitch suitable for use as a binder in the formation of carbonaceous bodies such as carbon electrodes a pitch obtained from the distillation of tar is mixed with carbon di-sulphide and heated to temperature of 350 DEG -450 DEG C., preferably 375 DEG -420 DEG C., at a pressure sufficient to inhibit the evaporation of the carbon di-sulphide.  In a modification the carbon di-sulphide may be added to the tar during distillation.  The amount of carbon di-sulphide added to the pitch or tar may be 2% by weight and the pressure may suitably be between 50 and 500 lbs. per square inch.  The increase in pressure may be achieved by admitting an inert gas, e.g. nitrogen, under pressure to a chamber into which the heated pitch or tar and carbon di-sulphide is discharged.  In the apparatus shown in Fig. 1 pitch is forced by a pump 11 through a coil 13 disposed in a heated chamber and then is discharged into the lower section 24 of a vessel 25 wherein it is mixed with pitch, previously treated by heating with carbon di-sulphide, admitted to section 24 from the upper section 26 of the vessel 25 through a connection 27.  Mixed pitch from section 24 is forced together with carbon di-sulphide, admitted from line 57, by a pump 31 through line 32 and a coil 33 also disposed in the heated chamber 17.  This pitch and carbon di-sulphide mixture is discharged by line 34 into the section 26 of vessel 25 maintained at a desired pressure either by admitting nitrogen through line 49 under control of a pressure controller 51 or by allowing escape of gas or vapour through line 54 under control of pressure controller 55.  An amount of treated pitch equal to the amount of fresh feed is withdrawn from section 26 through line 36, cooler 38, flash pot 42 and line 48.  In a modified apparatus tar to which carbon di-sulphide has been added is passed through a coil disposed in a heated chamber and the heated mixture is passed through a throttling valve into a flash chamber, the evolved vapours are fed to a fractionating column and the treated pitch is withdrawn from the flash chamber through a seal pot.  In a further modification, a portion of the treated pitch from the flash chamber is mixed and circulated with the fresh tar feed. Specification 898,576 is referred
