Title: Incombustible filtering material
IPC: D21H13/42
Filed: 1965-01-22
Abstract: An incombustible filter material comprises an intimate mixture of glass fibre and asbestos fibre with a modified gibbsite that consists of a trihydrate of alumina, has a specific surface of 100-200 m2/g, and produces with water stable colloidal dispersions with film-forming properties.  It may be made by first refining the asbestos in a beater, adding the glass fibre, then the modified gibbsite in an aqueous dispersion, then subjecting the slurry to the usual papermaking processes.  An aqueous emulsion of polyvinyl acetate with a fireproofing placticizer may be added to the slurry, and the product may be accordion-pleated.

Abstract: 582,148. Manure distributers. ROBERTS, G. E. Feb. 18, 1944, No. 3102. [Class 6 (i)] An attachment for a tractor or other agricultural vehicle to enable seeds or fertilizer to be scattered broadcast while the vehicle is performing other operations comprises an apertured drum to contain fertilizer or seed, the drum being secured to a rotating part of the vehicle, preferably to one of the wheels. In the form shown the attachment comprises a drum 55 provided with peripheral apertures 57. Concentric with the drum is a sleeve 56 provided with corresponding apertures 58, the sleeve being axially movable relatively to the drum to alter the extent of registration between the corresponding apertures in the sleeve and drum. This axial motion is effected by the rotation of a capstan nut 75 which causes a bridge plate 74 carrying the sleeve to travel along the threaded portion 73 of an axial shaft 71, a lock nut 77 being provided to retain the sleeve in any desired position. Dowel pins 78 prevent rotation of the sleeve relatively to the drum. One end plate 59 is provided with clamps 61 by which the drum may be secured to the spokes 64 of a tractor wheel.

Casting processes.-A die-cast soft grey iron casting is made from pig-iron containing more than 2 per cent of silicon without the addition of steel scrap, the cooling rate being accelerated to an extent somewhat less than that required to produce a chilled effect, so that the carbon is precipitated rapidly and is uniformly distributed as minute particles of graphite. The iron employed may be No. 1 foundry iron containing more than 0.5 per cent of manganese and 0.05 per cent of sulphur and approximately 3.25 per cent of carbon, 2.75 per cent of silicon, and 0.2 per cent of phosphorus. It may be melted with an equal weight of scrap iron of the same quality. The resulting casting is stated to have a smooth soft workable surface and an internal structure free from hard spots. A casting made from iron containing 3.25 per cent of carbon, 2.75 per cent of silicon, and 0.6 per cent of manganese is stated to have a Brinell hardness of 200 and great tensile and compression strength, and to have more than 90 per cent of the total carbon uniformly distributed throughout the mass as graphite crystals whose major dimensions are less than one-thousandth of an inch. The castings are made in metal moulds such as described in Specification 209,043, the castings being held therein by adjustable yielding pressure and discharged therefrom while still red hot. The moulds are provided with an insulating lining, as described in Specification 202,273, and a coating of lampblack, as described in Specifications 201,913 and 204,688, to regulate the cooling rate. The moulds are heated and the first castings are rejected until the moulds reach a temperature of 900‹ F.
