Title: Improvements in the process of and apparatus for the alteration of high boiling-point hydrocarbons to low boiling-point hydrocarbons
Filed: 1919-08-06
Abstract: 153,654. Kormann, F. A. Aug. 6, 1919. Hydrocarbons, cracking.-In order to convert liquid hydrocarbons of high 'boiling-point into hydrocarbons of lower boiling-point, a previouslyheated porous or capillary body is impregnated with the hydrocarbon at a lower temperature, the capillary passages being thus caused to contract and subject the confined hydrocarbon to pressure, and the porous body is again heated to drive off the hydrocarbons. The operation is effected in a retort 12 containing porous bricks 11 made from shale clay or from a mixture of shale clay, bone and willow charcoal. After the bricks 11 have been heated to about 500‹ F., the hydrocarbon is forced into the retort 12 through a spray pipe 8 under a steam pressure of about 40 lb. per sq. in. When the bricks are saturated, steam from a superheater 18 is admitted by perforated pipes 21 at a temperature about 100‹ F. above the end boiling-point of the hydrocarbon, and the hydrocarbons are driven off to a condenser 24.

Title: Detergent compositions
IPC: C11D9/26
Filed: 1948-07-23
Abstract: A detergent composition comprises a water-soluble salt of celluronic acid and a surface-active organic detergent compatible therewith. The term "celluronic acid" designates a product of the controlled oxidation of cellulose (as by nitrogen dioxide, see U.S.A. Specification 2,232,990), wherein substantially only the primary hydroxyl groups of the cellulose molecule have undergone oxidation, and may be designated by the formula <FORM:0653702/III/1> where X and Y represent the percentage of unoxidized and oxidized anhydroglucose units.  The carboxyl content should be from about 7 to 20 per cent to give water-soluble salts.  The organic detergent may be an anionic or a non-ionic compound, such as a fatty acid soap, an alkyl sulphate, or an alkaryl sulphonate with 8 to 20 carbon atoms in the alkyl chain, and the celluronic salt may be the sodium or magnesium salt or a salt with an organic base, e.g. a quaternary ammonium compound. The celluronic salt is present in a proportion of at least 0.5 per cent, preferably 3 per cent, by weight of the organic detergent. Builders such as alkali metal polyphosphates, sulphates, carbonates, borates, silicates or the correponding ammonium salts may be added, and salts imparting hardness such as magnesium sulphate and calcium nitrate or chloride may also be present.  Tables are given showing the effect of adding various amounts of celluronic salts to various detergents.

Title: Improvements in closure, and drawing-off devices for receptacles for aseptic liquids
IPC: B67D3/00
Filed: 1920-07-09
Abstract: 148,348. Arnold, J. M. July 24, 1916, [Convention date]. Bottles and like vessels, non-refillable.-Means for the aseptic drawing-off of aseptic liquids, such as milk or artificial serum, from a receptacle comprises a movable sleeve adapted to slide on the neck of the receptacle, one end of the sleeve serving for the passage of the liquid and the other end for the passage of filtered air, means as described below being provided for hindering the fraudulent refilling of the receptacle. As shown, a member 1, Fig. 2, is fixed in the neck 2 of the receptacle and has a central conduit 3 for the passage of liquid to lateral holes 5, the lower end of the conduit 3 being plugged by a fixed rubber stopper 4. The air-inlet conduits are formed by grooves 6 in the member 1 within the neck 2. The neck 2 and member 1 are surrounded by a sleeve 7 displaceable longitudinally and provided with a liquid orifice 8 in a wall 9 which abuts against the stopper 4 when the sleeve is in its upper or closing position with a rubber annulus 10 closing the ends of the grooves 6. The sleeve is extended to form an annular chamber 11 containing wads for filtering the entering air, which passes between the sleeve 7 and neck 2 to the grooves 6. A wire lever 13, Fig. 1, is pivoted on pins 14 on the receptacle and is formed with small cranks 15 connected by a bridle 16 to pins 17 on the sleeve, a curved part 23, connecting the ends of the bridle 16, being connected by a link 22 to an extension on a cover 18 pivoted at 19 to the sleeve 7. When the lever 13 is moved away from the position shown, the cranks 15 first pass the dead centre and the bridle 16 turns on the pins 17 so that the part 23 and link 22 act to open the cover 18. Further movement of the lever 13 causes the cranks 15 to act through the bridle 16 to lower the sleeve 7, thus opening the outlet 8 and the air inlets. The pins 14, 17 are connected by a lead wire passing through the holes 24, 25 and of a length sufficient to allow displacement of the sleeve for drawing-off purposes but insufficient to allow the annulus 10 to abut on a projection 12 on the member 1, so that if an attempt is made to refill the receptacle, liquid entering the orifice 8 will pass the projection 12 and between the neck 2 and sleeve 7 to the chamber 11, and failure of air to enter through the moistened wads on a subsequent attempt to pour out the liquid will indicate that an attempt has been made to refill the receptacle. When the lead wire is broken, the sleeve can be moved to cause the annulus 10 to abut against the projection 12, so that the entering liquid must pass through the holes 5 into the receptacle. The base of the cover 18 may include a chamber for a sponge impregnated with an antiseptic.
