Title: Roof truss support clamp
Inventor: SMITH PAUL ASHLEY
IPC: E04C3/02
Filed: 2009-03-31
Abstract: A roof truss support clamp 1 is a temporary device for supporting in place a roof truss being fixed on to a wall plate or other base to form the roof structure of a building. The roof truss support clamp comprises a u-shaped main clamp body 1, which can be attached to a primary roof truss by at least one clamping screw 2. In use, as shown in Figure 3, the roof truss support clamp is attached to a modified swivel scaffold fitting 8, 9 and this is used to attach an length of scaffolding pole to support the truss from an associated main scaffolding structure. The scaffolding pole is attached to the main scaffold structure surrounding the building on to which the roof structure is being fixed using another swivel scaffold fitting. The main clamp body 1 comes in two sizes to accommodate the varying widths of timber used in roof trusses, the larger clamps being fitted with two clamping screws.

Title: Voltage selector switch for power supply
Inventor: CHUN WANG KUAN
IPC: H01H9/00
Filed: 2009-04-09
Abstract: A power supply 10 (or battery, fig 13) has a main body 12, an output port, a voltage selecting circuit and a switch 3 for commanding the voltage selecting circuit to select the output voltage that is to be output via the output port. The switch has conductive electrodes 32 and corresponding resilient conductive terminals 34. Electrical connection or disconnection between the respective conductive electrodes 32 and the corresponding resilient conductive terminals 34 is triggered by insertion of variously designed driving devices 5 (e.g. cards, fig 12) into the switch body. Different cards cause different combinations of the electrodes 32 and terminals 34 to make electrical connection so as to provide different output voltages or current from the power supply. A single power supply can therefore be used to provide variable output voltages to a variety of electronic devices such as laptop computers and mobile phones.

Title: A beeswax composition
IPC: C11B11/00
Filed: 1935-04-03
Abstract: Beeswax is freed from oil by heating the wax with an alkali solution, neutralizing the resulting mixture and separating the de-oiled wax therefrom.  Example, beeswax is melted in a boiler with water and a small amount of caustic soda or potash is added with stirring for a short period which is insufficient to saponify the wax.  The mixture is neutralized with hydrochloric acid and cold water added.  After standing, water and emulsified oil is drawn off at the bottom of the boiler, and the purified beeswax is removed and dried.  The wax may be used in the manufacture of waterproofing compositions, lubricants, paints, polishes or leather-dressing compositions.  Examples: (1) A coating-composition for wood, canvas, iron, or rubber is made by melting the purified beeswax and carnauba wax with linseed oil, and adding turpentine or gasoline; (2) a waterproofing composition for wood or canvas consists of the de-oiled beeswax mixed with a solution of shellac in alcohol; (3) de-oiled beeswax is added to lubricating oil to form an oil or grease; (4) polishing-compositions consist of the beeswax, carnauba wax, turpentine and gasoline; (5) a leather-dressing composition consists of de-oiled beeswax, castor oil and neats-foot oil.

Title: Method for the production of sodium aluminium fluoride
Inventor: BASS JOHN HENTON
IPC: C01F7/54
Filed: 1965-03-12
Abstract: Sodium aluminium fluoride and sulphuric acid are obtained from the salting-out product resulting from the evaporation of recycled caustic liquors in the extraction aluminous ores by mixing the salting-out product with an aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution of metallic aluminium, aluminium sulphate, alumina or alumina hydrate. The sodium aluminium fluoride may be precipitated as cryolite or chiolite and the salting-out product may be used in aqueous solution, aqueous suspension or as a solid.  The aqueous hydrofluoric acid may be of 35-50% by weight concentration and the alumina may be gippsite or bayerite. The F to Al2O3 in the reactants is between 2.0 and 2.2 to 1 depending on the F and Al2O3 content of the salting-out product (SOP).  In a preferred embodiment the SOP is dissolved in water to form an approximately 15% by weight solution at 80-150 DEG  F., the SOP solution and Na2O and Al2O3 solution are brought together through a Y-bend so that at the point of contact there is present substantially stoichiometric proportions of Na+, Al+++ and F- ions for the formation of Na3, AlF6.  The fluorine content of the mixture at a point of mixing may be 97 to 100% of the stoichiometric and the Na2O and Al2O3 concentration is 100 to 103% of stoichiometric. A mixture is passed to a reactor and maintained at 100 DEG  to 150 DEG F. for 10 to 20 minutes.  The concentration of sulphuric acid prepared is preferably 5 to 6% by weight, but may be of up to 10% a slurry is filtered, the filter cake is washed with water at 150 DEG to 180 DEG  F. and the washings may be concentrated to a strong sulphuric acid product.  Alternatively, the slurry may be allowed to settle and to separate its solid filtered and washed as above.

Abstract: 121,941. Grozier, T. H. Jan. 3, 1918, [Convention date]. Inking-apparatus.-A process for separating the fusible from the infusible parts of old printers' roller composition or analogous substances consists in treating the composition by the direct action of low-pressure superheated steam in a closed vessel and intercepting and vaporizing the water of condensation to prevent its admixture with the recovered composition. The old composition is placed in cages 11 in a vessel 1 to which steam from a superheater 12 is admitted by pipe 13 and perforated pipes 14. The steam passes to the atmosphere through perforations 8 and opening 7 in a two-part cover, the outer part 5 of which is domed or conical so that water of condensation formed thereon runs down into the inner dished part 6 and is again vaporized. The fused composition flows into the bottom of the vessel 1 and is run off as desired into moulds 20 divided into small pockets 21. The moulds may he hollow as shown for the circulation of cooling water. In another form of apparatus, the pipes 13, 14 are omitted and the wall of the vessel 1 is provided with perforations and surrounded by a jacket to which the steam is admitted.

[Class 146 (ii)] A combined letterpaper and envelope has an adhesive flap, one portion of which is used to seal the folded sheet which another portion is detached and used to seal the folded sheet at an open edge. The flap is divided into three parts 5 .. 7, Fig. 2, of whilst part 6 remains attached, part 7 is detached and part 5 is discarded. Perforation lines 2, 13 .. 15 which may stop short of the edge assist the opening of the envelope. The sheet is folded along lines 8, 9, 11, 11 a in that order and then sealed at one edge by flap 6 and at the opposite edge by the detached gummed strip 7. Instead of dividing one flap, two separate flaps may be provided, one being detachable. Lay marks may be provided to assist the folding. The parts of the sheet to be exposed, when folded, may be tinted, blind-printed or embossed to prevent inspection of contents, the portion bearing the address being lighter than the remainder. In some cases the folding is arranged so that a tinted part is interlaid between untinted parts. Thus in Fig. 16, the sheet is folded along lines 28 .. 31 in succession after detachment of the parts 21, 23, 24 of the flap 22, so that parts j, k are on the outside of the folded sheet and part i comes inside. The tinting may fall short of the edges of the sheet. If not required, the part of the sheet to the left of line 28 could be torn away.
