US Patent:

42620406, Apr 14, 1981

Filed:

Aug 30, 1978

Appl. No.:

5/938186

Inventors:

Frank R. Russo - North Brunswick NJ

Assignee:

Engelhard Minerals & Chemicals Corporation - Iselin NJ

International Classification:

B05D 302

US Classification:

427229

Abstract:

A decorative coating for application to ceramics contains no metallic gold but has the appearance of gold after firing. The coating is formed by dissolving solvent-soluble metallo-organic compounds of palladium, silver, and a fluxing agent in a vehicle. A weight ratio of palladium to silver of between 1:1 and 12:1 is used and the total content of palladium and silver in the coating as applied will range between 1 and 12 weight percent, the balance being fluxing agents and vehicle. When applied to opaque or translucent ceramic bodies and fired in the usual manner for such decorations, the appearance obtained previously only with decorations containing substantial amounts of metallic gold is simulated.

Gary L. Hartman - East Stroudsburg PA

Assignee:

Brooklyn Union Gas - Brooklyn NY

International Classification:

B65G 5314

US Classification:

37317

Abstract:

In a material transfer system, material from an excavation is drawn into a vessel by suction from a vacuum source. The vessel has discharge flaps at the bottom that are held closed by the suction. When the weight of the material in the vessel reaches a predetermined value, the flaps open and the material is discharged from the vessel. After the discharge, counterweights almost close the flaps and the suction seals the discharge flaps so that additional material is drawn into the vessel. The vessel includes a vibratory section and has sides that slope outwardly from top to bottom. The material entering the vessel contacts the vibratory section at a predetermined angle and is redirected to the discharge flaps without any caking on the vessel walls. The opening through the discharge flaps is larger than the inlet through which the material enters the vessel so that objects entering the vessel are discharged.

Assignee:

Engelhard Corporation - Iselin NJ

International Classification:

B06D 302

US Classification:

427229

Abstract:

A composition containing a vehicle or solvent, one or more precious metal metallo-organic compounds, a base metal metallo-organic compound, and at least one non-metallic luster or pearlescent pigment; plus a method for obtaining lustrous burnish-like precious metal films on glass and ceramic substrate by applying and firing the composition onto the defined substrate.
