Abstract:
A process for producing aluminum, including electrolytically decomposing alumina to aluminum metal in an electrolyte bath between a carbon anode and a cathodic interface formed between metal and the electrolyte bath, the bath A. CONSISTING ESSENTIALLY OF Al2O3, NaF, and A1F3, and B. HAVING A WEIGHT RATIO NaF to A1F3 up to 1.1:1, WHILE MAINTAINING THE BATH AT AN OPERATING TEMPERATURE EFFECTIVE FOR PREVENTING BATH CRUSTING IN INTERFACIAL AREAS BETWEEN BATH AND ALUMINUM METAL, WHILE ENCLOSING THE TOP OF THE CELL FOR KEEPING THE SURFACE OF THE BATH MOLTEN, AND WHILE FEEDING ALUMINA A. SUBSTANTIALLY CONTINUOUSLY ONTO THE MOLTEN BATH SURFACE, B. THE ALUMINA HAVING A WATER CONTENT EFFECTIVE FOR PREVENTING ANODE DUSTING, C. THE CARBON ANODE BEING EXPOSED TO THE GASEOUS WATER EVOLVED FROM THE ALUMINA, WHEREBY ANODE DUSTING IS PREVENTED.

Abstract:
THE USE OF A CONCENTRATED BRINE OF A DEFINED CONCENTRATION LEVEL AS THE COVER FOR CERTAIN MERCURY PORTIONS IN OPERATING AN ELECTROLYTIC CELL FOR THE DECOMPOSITION OF BRINE WHERE THE MERCURY SERVES AS THE CATHODE, SUBSTANTIALLY REDUCES MERCURY VAPOR POLLUTION. THE DEPLETED BRINE EXITING THE CELL SERVES AS THE CONCENTRATED BRINE.
Abstract:
A method of fabricating a container wall having an integral opening device by providing a metal sheet having an adhesive material secured to one surface thereof. The adhesive secures a continuous protective layer to the metal sheet. The protective layer is selected from the group consisting of partially crystalline polyolefin, partially crystalline polyolefin-ethylene copolymers, polyethylene acrylate and ionomers of polyolefin. Scoring the sheet to define a removable sector therein while preventing fracture of the adhesively secured protective layer. Subsequently heating the composite metal sheet to a temperature of about 275* to 375*F for a period of about 0.2 second to 4 minutes and preferably about 300* to 350*F for about 0.5 to 3 minutes. The protective layer is stress relieved by this thermal treatment which substantially completely eliminates microvoids established in the protective layer during the scoring operation. Effecting the heating operation in such a fashion as to improve adhesive bonding of the protective layer, resist diaphragming of the protective layer and reduce feathering of the protective layer along the line of severance when the removable sector is fractured. A container wall structure made by the process of this invention including the adhesive being selected from the group consisting of epoxy, polyester and polyurethane. The protective layer having a crystallinity in excess of about 50 percent. The adhesive bond between the protective layer and the metal sheet removable sector being of greater strength than the shear strength of the protective layer in regions underlying the score line to prevent substantial diaphragming and to limit feathering to less than about one thirty-second inch.
Abstract:
The successive steps of coating aluminum can sheet with a resin capable of withstanding subsequent drawing and ironing, curing the resin coated on the sheet; drawing the sheet, for example, into the shape of a shallow can, and ironing the shallow can into a deep can of beverage size.
Abstract:
A building structure combination in which a bracket is attached to an elongated structural member by a fastening means that engages an integral, transversely extending web portion at at least two spaced apart locations therealong, and on opposed sides thereof, with a force sufficient to deform the web and thereby provide an interference fit between the web and the fastening means.
Abstract:
A structural eave assembly readily installable and attachable to a building originally constructed without an overhanging eave comprises a separately fabricated, unitary structure having combined gutter, soffit, and fascia portions.
Abstract:
Apparatus and a method for forming a mitered corner in an unnotched channel-shaped strip of flexible elastomeric material are provided wherein such a strip is positioned over a mandrel having a contoured portion on it in the shape of the mitered corner to be formed, the mandrel is moved against support blocks to form a bend in the strip and a loop in the side flange of the strip, hot air is forced against inside surfaces of the loop to heat the elastomeric material to a plastic adhesive state, and blades are closed against the loop of material to weld abutting surfaces together and thereafter sever excess material from the welded corner at completion of the closing of the blades.
Abstract:
An aluminum alloy containing 0.05 to 0.15% copper, 0.5 to 0.7% iron, 0.15 to 0.3% silicon, 0.3 to 0.6% manganese, the balance essentially aluminum when properly anodized acquires an attractive integral beige color. Sheet products fashioned from this material are useful in architectural applications such as covering the exterior of large buildings.
Abstract:
A safety closure assembly is provided which includes an inner cap with threads formed in its skirt for affixation to a container by turning the cap, vertically aligned corrugations in the outer surface of the top portion of the cap skirt and an outwardly projecting bead on the lower edge of the skirt, and further including an outer flexible plastic cap which fits over the inner cap and which has inwardly projecting, vertically aligned teeth on its inner surface for engagement with the corrugations on the inner cap, an inwardly projecting flange on the bottom edge of the skirt for engagement under the bead on the inner cap to preclude separation of the caps, and an inwardlyupwardly inclined inner surface of the skirt above such flange for engagement against the outer surface of the bead on the inner cap to spring the outer cap upwardly with respect to the inner cap and thereby prevent engagement of the teeth on the outer cap with the corrugation on the inner cap unless substantial downward force is applied against the top of the outer cap.
