Abstract: 598,663. Drawing. VAUGHN MACHINERY CO. Dec. 20, 1944, No. 25540. Convention date, Dec. 20, 1943. [Class 83 (iv)] In a loading mechanism for a draw-bench, tubes &c. are pushed from a rack over a mandrel, the mandrel is aligned with a drawing die and the tube is pushed through the die for engagement with the gripper. A pusher P receives a tube T from a rack and pushes it over the upper of two mandrels 71 secured in holders 29 on slides 27 reciprocated in the lower position when a lug 38 engages a grooved slide 39 actuated from a cylinder 41 when an abutment 39c contacts a rod 21 a switch 24 is actuated to allow a fluid cylinder 20 to oscillate a shaft 5 carrying the slides. The upper mandrel is brought to the lower position and the cylinder 41 moves the slide forward to push the tube through the die until engaged by the grippers. When the tube has been drawn off the mandrel, the bottom slide is withdrawn by the cylinder 41 and the cylinder 20 is operated to oscillate the shaft. The shaft 5 is supported by discs on the shaft and the work is guided by flared guides 10 and spring-pressed rollers 75. V-supports 80 guide the mandrel and are pushed out of the way by the tube lubricating work. An abutment 64 operates a spring- pressed valve 50 to supply lubricant from a pipe 53 to the mandrel head through a flexible pipe.

Title: Improvements in or relating to citrus-cereal breakfast food and methods for the manufacture thereof
IPC: A23L19/00
Filed: 1938-09-01
Abstract: 511,722. Food preparations. BUSTAMANTE, R. Sept. 1, 1938, No. 25556. [Class 49] A breakfast food is prepared by removing the juice from citrus fruit and freeing the solids from pectin and oil, drying, and comminuting to a flour, concentrating the juice and adding sugar in quantity sufficient in view of the degree of concentration to prevent fermentation, making a dough of the citrus flour, juice and cereal flour, baking and comminuting. As described, oranges are washed and ground to comminute the seeds, rind and pulp and strain the juice therefrom. Cane sugar or honey is added to the juice in amount depending on the quantity of natural sugar present therein and the degree of sweetness desired and the juice is concentrated in a vacuum pan to a specific gravity of about 1.2 at a temperature sufficiently low to conserve the Vitamin C content. The rind oil which evaporates may be condensed as a by-product. The concentrated juice may be kept in drums at about 50-60‹F. until required for use. The solid residue is freed from pectin, oil and naringin by adding water in amount sufficient to allow of easy stirring and then sufficient sodium bicarbonate to neutralize the product. The rind oil which rises to the surface is skimmed off and the solids are separated in a filter press from the liquid which contains the pectin which has been converted into soluble sodium pectate and the naringin. The solids are subjected to hydraulic pressure to bring the moisture content down to about 30 per cent. and dried in a few minutes to a moisture content of about 10 per cent. in a drum &c. drier at about 100-110‹F. In modifications, calcium hydroxide replaces the sodium bicarbonate, or the pulp is subjected without these additions to antolysis, after dilution with water, at a pH of 4.5 in a vat kept by a waterjacket at about 130‹F., the pectin being converted into a soluble salt and removed with the naringin as before, the oil being skimmed off. A plastic dough mass containing the orange solids, flour, concentrated juice, whole wheat, rye,. corn or rice flour, powdered sugar, bran flour, shortening, salt and cod liver oil is baked at not over 130‹ F. to prevent carmelization of the sugar and to bring the dough to a consistency at which it can be formed by extrusion into shreds, flakes &c. which are toasted at 300‹F. and sprayed during agitation with orange extract or strained juice from which the oil has not been eliminated. The product is dried and packaged.

Title: Impulse circuit arrangements for automatic switches or repeaters of the type used in telephone systems
IPC: H04Q1/36
Filed: 1923-10-15
Abstract: 223,399. Automatic Telephone Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Gillings, C. Oct. 15, 1923. Addition to 205,505. Automatic exchange systems.-In a selector in which the change-over relay is normally shortcuited by front contacts of the line and release relays as in the parent Specification, impulses are transmitted over a back contact of the line relay. To prevent the release and change-over relays locking in series, the resistance of this circuit is such that the release relay falls back if the line relay remains de-energized. As shown, the change-over relay C is short-circuited over its low resistance upper winding upon energization of the line and release relays A, B, but energizes in series with relay B upon de-energization of relay A at the first impulse and substitutes its high resistance lower winding. Relay C, being short-circuited at each impulse, is slow to release and remains energized until the digit is completed, when it falls back and connects up the rotary stepping relay E in the usual manner. In one modification, relay C has one winding only and a copper sleeve, and upon energization in series with relay B brings a resistance into circuit. In another modification, relay C upon energization short-circuits its energizing winding and removes a short-circuit about its high resistance holding winding.

[Also in Division A2] Solutions and suspensions of solids in liquids are dried by spraying the solution or suspension by means of an atomizer 35 into a chamber 21 where the droplets are exposed to radiant heat from infra-red heaters 25 spaced around the internal wall of the chamber, while cool air is drawn into the chamber through filters in floor 16 above the atomizer. The dried particles flow out of the collecting chamber 22 through rotary valve 23 on to a belt conveyer 28. The drying chamber is assembled from stainless steel panels 12. Banks of heater boxes 24 are mounted on the inner surface of the panels 12. Each box 24 contains eight infra-red heaters which are advantageously 400-watt glazed ceramic trough elements with wavelengths in the range of 2À5-7À5Á. Within the lower end of chamber 21, just above the mouth of collecting chamber 22, is located a cyclone which is connected by pipe 27a to an extractor fan. Moist air is withdrawn from the drying chamber through this cyclone ; and any entrained solid particles are separated from the air and returned to the mouth of the collecting chamber. The solution or suspension to be dried is pumped to atomizer 35 through a pipe 34 by a metering pump 33. The atomizer, Fig. 9, comprises a double-walled spinner 36, which is of 6-9 inches diameter and is supported on the bottom end of a shaft 37, the top of which is locked on a pulley 41. The atomizer is driven, at shaft speeds of from 3000-10,000 r.p.m., by an electric motor and a driving belt 40. The liquid passes to the spinner 36 from pipe 34 via a duct 45 in adaptor 44 and an annular passage 46 which opens into a cavity 47 between the two conical walls of the spinner. This cavity terminates in an annular discharge orifice 48 from which the liquid emerges into the drying chamber in a cloud of fine droplets.
