Title: Hydraulic coffee machine
IPC: A47J31/24
Filed: 1956-08-08
Abstract: 842,006. Coffee making machines. WURTTEMBERGISCHE METALLWARENFABRIK. Aug. 8, 1956 (Aug. 16, 1955]; No. 24331/56. Addition to 823,546. Class 129. [Also in Group XXIX] In a coffee beverage making machine, connected working and supplementary pistons 6, 10 are displaceable in two cylinders 1, 2, the working piston 6 being displaceable by a pressure medium fed to working chamber 7 to discharge hot water from cylinder 1 through ground coffee or the like, the cylinder 2 having a return pressure chamber with an opening in its cylindrical wall through which the pressure medium acts after the piston has passed beyond it to prevent further movement thereof by closing a valve 4 connected between chamber 7 and a manuar control valve 3 so arranged that, when chamber 12 is connected to the pressure medium, chamber 7 is connected to a discharge pipe and vice versa. The pressure medium may be hot water under pressure. Pistons 6 and 10 are connected by a hollow piston rod with a passage 13 there through which connects chambers 7 and 11. A filter holder 19 is fixed underneath the brewing chamber 8 of cylinder 1, e.g. by a bayonet fitting. Chamber 8 is connected to a hot water boiler through a spring biassed valve 22 held closed by piston 6 when in its lowest position and allowed to open to admit hot water to chamber 8 when piston 6 is raised. Openings 28, 29, 30 in the wall of cylinder 2 are connected by pipes 31, 32, 33 to a manually operated cock 5 which connects the selected opening to a pipe 34 so that pressure fluid from chamber 12 can close valve 4 and stop discharge from chambers 7 and 11. When piston 10, and hence piston 6, has reached the desired height according to the amount of coffee to be made. The control valve 3 comprises an ante chamber 47, connected via valve 40 to chamber 7, an antechamber 38, connected to chamber 12, a chamber 50, connected to a supply of hot water under pressure,.a bore 52, connected to a discharge pipe 53 and two double valves 54 and 59, 60. These valves are simultaneously manually, operated to connect either chamber 7 to the supply of hot water under pressure and chamber 12 to the discharge pipe or chamber 7 to the discharge pipe and chamber 12 to the hot water under pressure. The machine is normally in the position shown in Fig. 1 and to initiate operation valve 3 is operated in direction B to the position' shown in Fig. 2, where hot water under pressure is fed to chamber 12, piston 6 is raised to the extent, determined by the setting of cock 5, to draw in the required amount of hot water into chamber 8. Valve 3 is then operated in direction A so that pressure fluid is fed to chamber 7 and hence chamber 11 and piston 6 forces the hot water out through the coffee grounds in the filter. Reference has been directed by the Comptroller to Specification 788,980.

In other arrangements, Figs. 4-6 (not shown) the extension portion is a separate member which is welded at one end thereof to a part of the ring portion adjacent the gap.
Patent GB-435642-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in and relating to the treatment of fibrous materials
IPC: D06M11/38
Filed: 1934-08-24
Abstract: In a process for precipitating cellulose on woven or knitted fabrics containing cellulose fibres, the fabric is first treated in the bleached or unbleached condition with a caustic alkali lye, then, without washing, is thoroughly permeated by a solution of cellulose in, e.g. copper oxide ammonia, and is afterwards treated with precipitants--e.g. water or acids or both--, the fabric being then finished in the ordinary way.  The concentration of the lye varies with the weight of the fabric and other factors, but generally may be from 14 DEG  Be. to 28 DEG  Be.  The concentration of the cellulose depends on the nature and weight of the fabric: in an example a 4 per cent solution is used.  Wetting agents may be added with the lye. After treatment with the lye the fabric is preferably partly dried. When acid is used as a cellulose precipitant the traces of acid remaining on the fabric are neutralized and the fabric washed and dried.  Before drying, the fabric may be bucked or bleached.  The finished fabric shows a silk-like gloss.  Specification 227,480, [Class 42 (i)], is referred to.

Title: Harvesting machines
IPC: A01D43/08
Filed: 1975-06-11
Abstract: 1507928 Forage harvesters CLAYSON NV 11 June 1975 [12 June 1974] 24998/75 Heading A1F A forage harvester includes a single control handle 16 which can be moved in directions 61, 62 to axially move a shaft 18 connected thereto and thus cause rotation of the discharge spout 12 about a vertical axis and in directions 63, 64 perpendicular to the first directions to rotate the shaft 18 and thereby adjust the inclination with respect to the horizontal of the deflector member 14 at the discharge end of the spout. The handle 16 is pivotally connected at 17 to the shaft 18 which is rotatably and axially movable in a cylindrical body 21, itself connected at 19, via an extension 20, to the handle 16. The end of shaft 18 remote from the handle has an annular member 32 co-operable with a recess 33 of a pivot member 34 such that on moving handle 16 in direction 61 or 62 the shaft is moved axially in body 21 and member 34 pivots about point 36 which, through linkages 37, 38, 40 operates a hydraulic control valve 42. The valve 42 is coupled to a cylinder 43 with a piston 44 carrying a pulley 45. A rope 48 is secured at one end to the harvester framework 2, passes round pulleys 45, 46 and spout 12 and is secured at the other end to a tension spring 50 fixed to the framework 2. The spout 12 is rotatably secured to the discharge channel 51 so that lifting of the piston 44, by supply of pressure fluid to the cylinder 43 from valve 42, rotates the spout 12 by means of the rope 48 and the spring 50 is tensioned. When the valve is in the pressure release position the spring 50 causes the spout to rotate in the opposite direction and the piston to move back into the cylinder. The spout may be rotated through 180‹. The body 21 is rotatable in a bush 23 secured via flange 24 to the harvester framework. A lever 56 secured to body 21 is connected by a rope 57 guided by supports 58 to an arm 59 on deflector member 14 such that movement of handle 16 in direction 64 rotates body 21 and hence lever 56 so that member 14 is pivoted downwardly by tension in rope 57. The tension spring 60 returns member 14 upwardly when handle 16 is moved in direction 63. A resilient washer 28 and friction means 30 between a flange 29 in body 21 and flange 24 of bush 23 hold the body 21 in the selected rotational position.

Abstract: 534,539. Hydrocarbons., ARNOLD, C. (Standard Oil Co.). Sept. 8, 1939, No. 25441. Drawings to Specification. [Class 2 (iii)] [Also in Group III] In an alkylation process, a mixture of normally liquid with normally gaseous hydrocarbons free from methane and hydrogen is passed over a catalyst comprising chromium oxide at 950-1050‹F. and 500-1,000 lb. pressure, a liquid product heavier than motor fuel and/or a liquid suitable for a motor fuel being separated from the reaction product, the remaining gaseous fraction and if desired the heavy liquid fraction being recycled. Before returning the gaseous fraction the methane and hydrogen are removed from it. The catalyst may be chromic oxide alone in gel or other form, or mixed with an oxide of aluminium, copper, zinc, nickel cobalt or other metal or combined as a chromite of copper. zinc, lead, nickel, cobalt, magnesium, barium or aluminium, or as copper-barium, nickel-barium lead-zinc or nickel-magnesium chromite; and carriers may be employed. In an example, the feed stock is an oil distillate and gaseous hydrocarbons with two to four carbon atoms, the catalyst being chromium oxide. The product, which may be cooled quickly by introducing a quench oil such as fresh feed oil, the cooling and pressure reduction being such as to vaporize the whole stream except the tar. At this point the temperature may be 775-825‹F. and the pressure 200-225 lb. The vapour is then fractionated to obtain a motor fuel fraction, a heavier fraction which is recycled or removed. The gaseous fraction is washed with oil which absorbs hydrocarbons of two or more carbon atoms, leaving the methane and hydrogen which are removed, the absorbed hydrocarbons being then vaporized and recycled. The process may be operated with recycle gas without the introduction of outside gas. Specifications 415,792, 507,999 and 511,730 are referred to.
