Title: Improvements relating to shafts sunk by the freezing process
IPC: E21D1/12
Filed: 1920-06-18
Abstract: 145,433. Breil, W. Dec. 29, 1916, [Convention date]. Shafts.-Shafts sunk by the freezing process are lined with ironwork provided with a sheetmetal covering of such strength that it can resist the hydrostatic pressure, and concrete containing little sand is filled between the sheetmetal covering and the shaft wall; after thawing, this cover is caulked and concrete filling introduced into the ironwork. The thawing is effected by filling the shaft with water heated by steam, the water being afterwards drawn off in stages to facilitate caulking and filling in of concrete: after concreting each stage, the porous concrete behind the sheet-metal covering is made watertight by grouting.

Abstract: 783,362. Walls; floors; roofs; building units. ISOLERINGSAKTIEBOLAGET W. M. B. June 10, 1955 [June 10, 1954], No. 16717/55. Classes 20(3, 20(4) and 87(1) A wall consists of panel units, Fig. 2, each of which has a pair of facing plates 236, 336, enclosing a core 46 and header elements 45, each nf the latter having a slot 60 to engage a pin 62 on a T- shaped bracket strip 63, the facing plates 236, 336, elements 45 and pins 62 being apertured to receive tapered fastening pins 68 which hold the assembly together. As shown in Fig. 3, each pin 68 has a necked portion 72 to define a head, the latter being covered by a snap-in cap 73. The caps 73 at the inner side of each panel are unperforated but those at the outer side have perforations 74 for the passage of air which may pass through groove 76 in element 45 and channel 75 in core 46 to assist in drying the panel. Panels similar to the wall panels may be used for the roof and carry vertically extending fins which are secured to the wall panels by internally inserted pins 68. At the roof ridge a filling piece is inserted between adjacent panels, covered by an angled ridge plate and the whole supported On an I-sectioned beam. Floor panels 91, Fig. 9, may be supported at the edge by a foundation angle iron 99 and are rabbeted at 95 to receive a strip 263 to which the wall panels are secured. Between the walls the edges of the floor paners are bolted to I-sectioned beams. spline strips being inserted in opposed channels 101 and the rabbets 95 being filled with a bridging strip. Each wall panel  may have the vertical edges of the facing plates 236, 336 projecting beyond the core 46. the opposed channels of adiacent panels being filled with a spline 55. The spline 55 may be secured to one edge of each panel, Fig. 2, during assembly, the free edge being chamfered at 56. In a modification, Fig. 8, each facing plate has beaded edges 28 and a batten strip 89 is nailed between each pair of opposed channels. In a further form, Fig. 13, the opposed edges of adjacent panels are shaped to form a coacting bead 113 and groove 112 and opposed grooves 117, to receive electric wiring or plumbing, rubber or like seals 115, 118 being provided. The grooves 117 may be replaced by an interengaging rib and recess. In a further form, Fig. 14. the ribs 119 coact with grooves 217, a strip 120 of modelling clay, sponge rubber or soft elastic composition being interposed. Filling units may be provided such as at a corner of a wall. In a process for manufacturing the panel units, plate material is fed from a roll 20, Fig. 1, to an edge-shaping station 22, a guillotine 31, which also punches the holes 37, an adhesive-applying station 38, an assembly station 44. at which header elements 45, core 46 and second sheathing plate 136 are supplied, a heating and pressing station 48, a paint-spraying station 149 and a paintdrying station 150. Specification 602,242 [Group VIII] is referred to.
Patent GB-639664-A (GB)
Title: Printing press
IPC: B41F1/26
Filed: 1947-06-25
Abstract: 639,664. Printing-machines. CHANDLER & PRICE CO. June 25, 1947, No. 16763. Convention date, Aug. 2, 1946. [Class 100 (ii)] A machine which is similar in construction to a platen machine but is constructed with a curved impression surface 16 is described in connection with a machine similar to a Gordon platen machine. The impression surface 16 is mounted in a fixed frame and is rotatable about an axle 18 so that it can be moved to the position shown in Fig. 1 to receive the sheets, and is finally moved to the position shown in Fig. 3, and held therein by a cam-operated locking device 71 which engages notches 70 in spaced arms 68 secured to the surface 16. The frame 5 carrying the type bed 26 which is pivotally mounted at 27 in the frame is then moved about a pivot 7 so that the bottom edge of the bed engages the sheet, and further movement of the frame 5 causes the type bed to roll over the curved platen so as to print the impression line by line, and the pivots 27 and 7 are so related that the rolling motion of the bed over the platen occurs without slip. The curve may be part of a circle, oval, or ellipse. To maintain a constant printing pressure, the type bed 26 is acted upon by a toggle mechanism 32, 36, 39, 42, controlled by a cam 46 on a shaft 47 driven by a chain from a wheel 58 on the shaft 7. The pressure due to the connecting-rods 13 which oscillate the frame 5 is thus supplemented by a variable pressure due to the shape of cam 46 which is designated to compensate for the variation due to the action of the rods 13. The link 39 of the toggle is formed of two telescopic parts separated by the action of a spring which yields if excessive pressure is applied, e.g. by the feeding of a plurality of sheets. Pressurecontrol means such as the hydraulic control described in Specification 639,665 may also be used. To prevent a double impression the type-bed 26 is maintained by a dwell on the cam 46 in the position shown in Fig. 3, until the frame 5 is reversed to carry the bed away from the curved platen. If desired the bed 26 can be mounted on the fixed frame and the curved platen on the oscillating frame. Specifications 14805/05, [Class 100], and 174,445, [Class 100 (ii)], are referred to.

Title: A process for refining hydrocarbons, preferably in the vapour phase, with phosphoric acid
IPC: C10G17/02
Filed: 1939-06-09
Abstract: 529,873. Purifying oils. NAAMLOOZE VENNOOTSCHAP DE BATAAFSCHE PETROLEUM MAATSCHAPPIJ. June 9, 1939, No. 16991. Convention date, June 21, 1938. [Class 91] Hydrocarbon oils are freed from diolefines and refined by spraying or otherwise finely dispersing therein aqueous phosphoric acid at temperatures below 400‹C. in such quantity as is completely or substantially converted into sludge during the reaction. The oil is preferably treated as vapour at 120-260‹C. with 0.05-3.0 gms. of acid as 0.5- 95.0 per cent. solution per litre of oil ; other acid, e.g. sulphuric up to 12 per cent. in strength, may be present; the oil may be pretreated with alkali or/and dilute sulphuric, sulphonic, or other acids to remove mercaptans or other acidic bodies and nitrogenous bases ; and it may afterwards be sweetened by any usual method. The process may be countercurrent but is preferably concurrent with a time of contact of 3-90 seconds. Steam may be introduced to promote vaporization. The pressure may be atmospheric, reduced, or raised. The oil may be passed through a series of zones in which the temperature or other conditions may differ or/and into which the same or different acid is introduced, e.g. sulphuric acid first and then phosphoric. The phosphoric acid may be recovered from the sludge by steaming or heating with water, preferably at above 90‹C. and with such an amount of water as to produce a 5-30 per cent. solution of acid which may be reused direct. In an example, cracked benzine is washed with dilute sulphuric acid and alkali, and the vapours are passed concurrently at 204‹C. with aqueous phosphoric acid through a tower packed with coke, 0.24 gm. H 3 PO 4  as 10- 80 per cent. solution being used per litre of liquid benzine. The coke may be replaced by pumicestone, charcoal, or phosphoric acid-silica. The packing may be drenched with phosphoric acid prior to the entry of the oil, and dispersion of phosphoric acid solution in the oil commenced when desirable. The process stabilizes the benzine and raises its Octane No. A gum inhibitor may be added.
