  • Patent number: 4545735
    Abstract: The pump has a pumping chamber with a deflectable diaphragm member and fluid inlet and outlet passages. A deflectable valve flap is disposed across the fluid inlet passage and another flexible valve flap is disposed across the fluid outlet passage. Movement of the flexible valve flaps is responsive to movement of the flexible diaphragm member, reciprocation of which establishes alternate sequential suction and discharge conditions. An air chamber provided in the pump receives outside air through an air vent opening and also communicates with the pump discharge passage through a bleed hole when the outlet passage is closed by the outlet valve flap. The outlet valve flap is also deflectable to a position where it closes the bleed hole. Under this arrangement, continuous siphoning of fluid through the pump after the pump has been shut down is obviated.

  • Patent number: 4490532
    Abstract: Hydrogen chloride is passed into p-xylene and acetaldehyde to form bis-1-chloroethyl ether; the latter is converted to 2-(1-chloroethyl)-1,4-dimethylbenzene by the action of sulfuric acid and hydrogen chloride. Alkali metal hydrogen sulfide in aqueous methanol or ethanol converts the 2-(1-chloroethyl)-1,4-dimethylbenzene to alpha,2,5-trimethylbenzenemethanethiol; the sodium salt of the latter reacted with 2-chloropyridine-1-oxide yields 2-[1-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)ethylthio]pyridine-1-oxide which is then oxidized with hydrogen peroxide and alkali metal tungstate or tungstic acid to form 2-[1-(2,5-dimethylphenyl)ethylsulfonyl]pyridine-1-oxide.

  • Patent number: 4299789
    Abstract: In extrusion apparatus of the type having a generally cylindrical roller, a stationary die head surface confronting the roller and defining therewith an extrudate chamber, and means for rotating the roller to force material through the chamber to an extrudate shaping orifice defined by the roller and a downstream portion of the die head, a bearing pad is interposed between the roller and the die head. The roller is biased against the bearing pad so that the pad serves to space the roller from the die head to accurately control clearance between the die head and roller at the extrudate shaping orifice.

  • Patent number: 4257517
    Abstract: A scraper bar for use with conveyor belting and the like to clean such belting of material adhering to its surface. The scraper bar consists of a layer of hard abrasion-resistant pellets embedded in an elastomer to form an elastomer/pellet matrix. An additional layer of elastomer is cast to the matrixed layer to provide a surface for attaching the scraper to its support when in service. Embedded in the layer of unmatrixed elastomer is an insert of particle board, chipboard, plywood or fibreglass reinforced plastic sheeting. The insert prevents bowing of the scraper bar due to differential shrinkage between the layer of matrixed elastomer and pellets and the supporting layer of elastomer.
