Title: Manufacture of Detergent Laundry Bars
IPC: C11D1/12
Filed: 1966-06-28
Abstract: 1,155,724. Process for detergent laundry bars. COLGATE-PALMOLIVE CO. 28 June, 1966 [2 July, 1965; 26 Nov., 1965; 21 Feb.. 1966 (2)], No. 28957/66. Heading C5D. A process for the manufacture of a coherent, solid, built detergent composition containing a minor proportion of a synthetic water soluble, anionic detergent and a proportion of a water soluble, solid builder salt in excess of the amount of the detergent, and water in an amount sufficient to plasticize the composition, which comprises continuously intensively shearing the constituent materials together while advancing the same through a shearing zone to form an intricate plastic blend which is continuously discharged from the shearing zone. The detergent may be supplied to the shearing zone in already neutralized form or as a liquid detergent acid and an alkaline neutralizing agent, in which the alkaline neutralizing agent is brought into contact with the builder salt before contact with the acid, the first two being either in the form of a solution, or as a solid with a separate stream of water. Specified builder salts are alkali metal polyphosphates, silicates, borates, carbonates and bicarbonates, in the case of the last two the neutralizing agent is such that the detergent acid reacts with it preferentially. Any conventional synthetic anionic detergent may be used, many of which are specified. The residence time in the shearing zone is desirably less than ten minutes and the blend is continuously extruded in a heated plastic condition in the form of shapes which are surface hardened by cooling and thereafter compacted and extruded in the form of a bar. Suitable apparatus for the process is given in Specification 1,155,725.

Title: Method of, and apparatus for, severing a moil from a glass workpiece
IPC: C03B33/085
Filed: 1961-08-11
Abstract: In severing the moil from symmetrical glassware in which the ware is positioned upright on a base and rotated in an annular flame applied around the circumference of the ware, a stream of cooling fluid is blown against the ware in a flat narrow circumferential zone immediately above the annular flame. Preferably a further stream of cooling fluid is blown also immediately below the annular flame. Tool carriers 6, 7, 8 are supported on a main column 21 on base 1 and are mutually adjustable vertically by sleeves 3, 4, 5 on a guide column 2.  The glassware 10 is supported and held on a holder 9 on a hollow shaft 18 connected to a vacuum duct 24, the shaft 18 being rotatably and slidably mounted in the <PICT:0994063/C1/1> <PICT:0994063/C1/2> <PICT:0994063/C1/3> carrier 6.  The holder 9 is moved upwardly to position the severence line 14 of the glassware 10 centrally of the burner 11 by means of a lever 13, the burner being fixed on the carrier 7. A moil clutch 12 is mounted on carrier 8 by means of a shaft 19 slidable in the carrier 8 and rotated at the same speed as shaft 18. The clutch 12 is lowered to engage the moil 16 by a system of levers 20, 22 connected by rod 21 and is then biased upwards by a weight 23 on extension of lever 22 or by an adjustable spring. The burner 11 comprises annular rings 25, 26 separated by annular plates 33, 34. Combustible mixture is supplied through a duct 35 to an annular channel 36 in ring 25 and thence through apertures 37 in plate 33 to a series of radial slits 38 milled in the abutting surfaces of the plates 33, 34.  Cooling fluid such as air is supplied through ducts 30, 32 to annular chambers 27, 28 in rings 25, 26 opening on to the plates 33, 34, the air then passing through narrow slits 31, 29 in the surfaces of rings 25, 26 abutting the plates 33, 34 to give narrow circumferential streams 31a and 33a of cooling air above and below the burner flame 38a. The glass wall softened by flames 38a is constricted by the upward pull of the moil 16, the constriction being just above the flames due to the cooling of the glass below by the air stream 33a, the cooling effect of air stream 31a causing the glass to be pulled only for close to the flames 38a, giving a small tip 40 to the lower part 41 of the wall. After severence of the moil 16, the air stream 31a passing over the top of the wall causes the air stream 33a to be deflected upwardly as at 33b, in turn lifting the flame 38a to position 38b which then smoothes off the top of the wall. U.S.A. Specification 1,577,538 is referred to.
