Abstract: 1,271,050. Food spread. C.P.C. INTERNATIONAL Inc. 7 Dec., 1970, No. 58111/70. Heading A2B. A sweet aqueous spread comprises by weight:- from 10-20% water, from 10-20% of a non-aqueous edible liquid viscosity reducing agent, the combined proportion of water and viscosity-reducing agent being from 25-35%, from 10-30% of corn syrup solids, the remainder of the spread comprising watersoluble carbohydrates and naturally occurring fruit solids, the spread being further characterised in that less than 50% of the non-aqueous portion thereof consists of carbohydrates having a molecular weight of less than 200. The spread may form in part a food product which comprises two separate spreads that are in contact with each other over confronting, engaging surfaces, one of the spreads being that defined above, the other being a hydrophilic spread which is moisture-free and which contains protein, carbohydrate and fat. The sweet aqueous spread may comprise fruit jam, jelly or preserves, and the hydrophilic spread may comprise nut butter products such as pea nut butter. Suitable viscosity reducing agents are glycerine, glycols or mixtures thereof. The sweet aqueous spread may be prepared by modifying the water and corn syrup contents of a sweet, semi-solid fruit based spread, addition of an appropriate amount of viscosity reducing agent and deaerating the thus modified spread to restore the translucent appearance of the spread.

Title: Roller for hot-rolling and or cold rolling
IPC: C11D9/26
Filed: 1971-12-22
Abstract: 1374130 Making rollers; casting composite rolls; shrink fitting SECO TOOLS AB 22 Dec 1971 [8 Jan 1971] 59796/71 Headings B3A B3F B3M and B3V [Also in Division F2] A roller for hot/or cold rolling is formed by a ring 1 of hard metal (e.g. tungsten carbide) about which a body 2 of ferrous alloy (e.g. steel) is cast. The ring 1 is initially placed in a cast iron mould, is heated in a furnace, and then has the body cast on to it. The assembly is cooled under controlled conditions, the greater thermal expansion of the ferrous alloy causing it to compress the ring during cooling. The body shrinks more than the ring to provide a radial gap 3 between the parts. The gap is injected with epoxy-base thermosetting resin, metal, or other suitable material. The sides of the ring are grooved or knurled at 7 to help in the transmission of torque between the parts. The body may have cooling flanges, and can be coated internally with titanium oxide to give some heat protection to a shaft on which the roller is mounted.

Abstract: 641,541. Steam and hot water boilers; steam superheaters. DALIN, D. April 11, 1945, No. 9040. Convention date, March 31, 1944. [Classes 64(i), 123(ii) and 123(iii)] [Also in Group XII] A furnace for the combustion of fuels which sinter at low temperature comprises a vertical shaft 1 fed with fuel from a hopper 16 and fitted with a roller grate 2 below which combustion air is supplied at 8, there being provided a system of tubes 10 through which is circulated a heat-absorbing fluid such as water or steam and which has portions of different heatabsorbing capacity so related to the intensity of combustion in the zones of the shaft that all parts of the fuel bed are kept below sintering temperature. As shown in Fig. 1 the coil system 10 comprises pipes bent double to form adjacent straight pieces a, b which constitute downwardly projecting fingers, certain of the fingers extending closer to the grate than the remainder. The circulation of fluid through the system' 10 may be forced or natural, the speed of the circulating pump in the former case being varied to control the temperature in the fuel shaft; the tube system may form part of a hot-water boiler, a steam boiler, or a superheater. Fig. 3 shows a modification in which distillation is effected in the upper part of the shaft and the distillation residue completely burnt in the lower part thereof, there being provided telescopic pipes 26 projecting downwardly some distance within the shaft to enable the combustion products to be withdrawn separately from the distillation gases. Fig. 9 shows a further construction also arranged for separate withdrawal of the distillation gases from the upper part of the shaft, the air for combustion in this case passing in a zig-zag path horizontally across the shaft and the combustion products being led to a chamber 34 where combustion is complete by secondary air supplied at 35; the completely burnt gases are utilized to heat a superheater 36, economizer 37 and airheater 38 before escaping to the chimney.

Title: Last for footwear
IPC: A43D3/02
Filed: 1978-11-29
Abstract: A last for footwear, particularly sports footwear, having a sole-defining surface and an upper-defining surface, the two surfaces meeting along a closed loop, in which the reference surface generated by all straight lines (e.g. lines 10) extending perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the last and connecting two opposite points on the loop deviates from the sole-defining surface of the last. The reference surface is oriented horizontally in the heel and forefoot regions of the last (Figs. 6 and 4) and is sloped in supination in the metatarsal region of the last (Fig. 5), and in the large ball and large toe region of the last a plane tangent to the sole- defining surface of the last is sloped in pronation (Fig. 3). The transition between the horizontal heel region of the reference surface and the supination- sloped metatarsal region of the reference surface lies in the forward area of the heel region and the region of maximum slope of the metatarsal region of the reference surface lies in that area of the last which corresponds to the area of the foot at which the resultant of vertical forces is normally transmitted to the foot. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2035273-A (GB)
Title: Refuse disposal
IPC: E04F17/12
Filed: 1978-11-29
Abstract: A refuse disposal unit (1), to enable tenants in a multistorey block of flats to discharge refuse into a common refuse chute (2) without the inconvenience of rubbish blowing out of the chute, has a manually operable lid (7) carrying a tipping hopper (6). When the lid is opened so that refuse may be placed in the hopper a fixed shield (9) covers the back of the hopper, isolating it from the chute (2). When the lid is closed a gap AP is formed between the lower wall (8) of the hopper and the shield (9) allowing the refuse to fall into the chute. In a modification (Figures 2-5, not shown) striking pins with rollers are provided on the sides of the hopper which co-operate with spring steel wires on the shield as the lid is closed to cause a lower hinged section of the shield to "flip up" thus allowing bulky but light refuse to pass into the chute. <IMAGE>

Title: Method of and Apparatus for Forming a Coreless Armature Winding for An Electric Machine
IPC: H02K15/04
Filed: 1979-05-16
Abstract: In the manufacture of a coreless armature winding for an electric machine, such as a motor, having two or more poles a source of wire 7 is revolved in a fixed orbit about a rotatable cylinder 1, the axis of this orbit being inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis of the cylinder. The wire is guided about first and second guide members 20A, 20B, positioned at opposite spaced apart locations on the surface of the cylinder, which members define opposite ends of the coreless armature winding. The cylinder is rotated about its longitudinal axis in synchronism with the revolution of the wire and by a predetermined angle corresponding to the pitch of the winding so that, as the wire continues to revolve, successive skewed turns are formed on the surface of the cylinder. The guide members are also rotated and after a predetermined number of turns have been formed they are returned to their respective initial positions. The operations are repeated until a complete armature has been formed. <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2032577-A (GB)
Title: Continuous costing rollers
IPC: B22D11/128
Filed: 1979-09-14
Abstract: In a previously known construction of continuous casting roller having a corrosion and wear resistant outer layer, the outer layers can crack in use, allowing corrosive agents to penetrate to the basic material of the roller, resulting in erosion of the basic material which in turn can break up the adhesion of the outer layer thereto. According to the present invention, an intermediate layer (3) of ductile, corrosion-resistant material is interposed between the outer layer (2) and the basic material (1) which prevents corrosive media reaching the basic material even if the outer layer breaks down in use. <IMAGE>
