  • Process for the preparation of urea
    Patent number: 4066693
    Abstract: A process for preparing urea by the intermediate formation of ammonium carbamate is disclosed, wherein the process involves reduced use of high pressure steam, and the reduced production, as a by-product, of low pressure steam, compared to prior art processes. Ammonium carbamate is formed from ammonia and carbon dioxide in a first reaction zone at a pressure of 90 - 140 atmospheres. Thereafter, the ammonium carbamate is partly converted into urea in a second reaction zone at about the same pressure as the first reaction zone until at least 40% of the equilibrium amount of the urea has formed, and then ammonium carbamate present in the solution from the second reaction zone is converted into additional urea in the third reaction zone at a pressure of at least 160 atmospheres until at least 85% of the equilibrium amount of urea has been formed.

  • Triaxial fabric forming machine and components thereof
    Patent number: 4066104
    Abstract: A machine for manufacturing triaxial fabrics, primarily of the type disclosed and claimed in Reissue Pat. No. 28155, comprises a vertically oriented warp yarn supply means based upon a horizontally disposed rotating creel, on which is preferably mounted a plurality of beams each supplying a plurality of warp yarn ends. Guide holders travelling on a cam-shaped track compensate for warp yarn path length changes so as to maintain path lengths from creel to weaving means relatively constant independent of angular position of an individual warp yarn in the course of the weaving process. Preferably, a multiplicity of such guides are combined on a single trolley carrier several of which are mounted at spaced intervals on the cam-shaped track, the movement of which is co-ordinated with the rotational movement of the warp yarn supply creel.

  • Extrusion method and apparatus
    Patent number: 4066729
    Abstract: A process and apparatus for making relatively thin amorphous film in which a molten film, which is extruded from a slot orifice, is drawn over a cooled control roller spaced from the orifice at its point of contact with said film at a distance not more than about 20 mm before it is received on a quenching drum maintained at conventional quenching temperature below the solidification range of the molten film, the speed of rotation of the quenching drum is in excess of the rate of extrusion of the molten film, the diameter of the control roller is less than one-quarter of the diameter of the quenching drum, and the temperature of the film control roller is maintained at least about ambient room temperature but less than the quenching drum temperature to thereby provide a skin at the directly proximate stratum of film contacting the control roller surface.

  • Cane cutting apparatus
    Patent number: 4065912
    Abstract: A sugar cane harvester has cane cutting apparatus for chopping cane sticks into billets. The apparatus comprises a pair of rotatable cutting elements carrying projecting axially extending blades which co-operate as the cutting elements rotate in timed relationship. The blades each have a bevelled cutting edge and are mounted so as to come into back-to-back relationship i.e. with the bevelled surfaces facing outwards, when the blades overlap. This minimizes servicing requirements and improves the quality of the cut.

  • Reinforcement of resilient articles
    Patent number: 4064915
    Abstract: A woven fabric for reinforcing a resilient material, such as a tire casing, wherein the warp of the fabric consists of substantially unstranded wires held together in spaced groups by the weft of the fabric with at least some of the wires being formed with a set so as to have undulations along their length to thereby improve the adhesion between the wires and resilient material as well as to improve the tensile and compression stress characteristics of the wires. The amplitude of the undulations may be perpendicular to the direction in which the groups are spaced from each other. The undulations may also be periodic with the phase of such undulations being either the same or different between adjacent groups.
