Abstract:

The dutching of cocoa to obtain a product of rich homogeneous color and high sterility is accomplished by grinding a pressed cake made from cocoa beans, converting the ground mass into a coarse, free-flowing powder, mixing the powder with sufficient aqueous alkaline solution and desired additives to obtain a damp mass containing about 20-35 wt. per cent moisture and feeding this mixture into a combined cooker and pressurized extruder and then pelletizing the cooked composition. The pellets are formed by extruding the mass through appropriate dies and breaking off the rods to form pellets by interaction with a stationary plate. The preferable temperature range of the combined cooking-pressurizing step is 150. degree. -230. degree. F. and the preferred pressures are progressive to between 500 and 1300 pounds per square inch adjacent the extruding die. The pellets are optionally dried in a continuous fashion by a plurality of gas jet streams that lift and tumble the pellets continuously passing underneath on a vibrating conveyor.

Abstract:

A bow arm support stabilizer system for supporting the weight of the bow while aiming and shooting is disclosed. The system has a horizontal connecting shaft with a rear end attached to the riser section of the bow through a single stud received in the threaded bore conventionally formed in the riser section. A pair of clamping arms attached to the horizontal connecting shaft extend rearwardly to locate clamping jaws respectively adjacent side surfaces of the riser section. The clamping arms are pivoted on the horizontal section to urge the jaws into clamping contact with the riser section. A telescopic support rod assembly is pivotally mounted to the front end of the horizontal shaft. The rod assembly includes at least three rods telescopically connected together with internal locking mechanisms between adjacent rod sections to effectively control the length of the rod assembly by rotation of one rod relative to another in a locking direction or reverse rotation in an unlocking direction. The non-rotational connection prevents relative twisting movement between the bow and the shaft as a result of high torque at these points of connection generated by the movement arm effect of the support arm assembly relative to the ground.

Abstract:

A target system includes a target sheet (10) comprising a polyester film (20) adhesively secured to a paper or polyethylene backing sheet (15). The polyester film (20) defines an exposed target surface (F) and includes a plurality of circular target strike zone portions (T) defined by spaced apart slits (S) perforating the polyester film (20). The circular target zone portions (T) are not adhesively secured to the backing sheet (15) and are integrally connected to the polyester film (20) with connecting portions (30) each located between adjacent slits (5). A rounded impact head (42) of a projectile (40) striking a target portion breaks the connecting portions (30), causing the target portion (T) to detach from the polyester film (20) and be pulled through the backing sheet (15) to achieve a vanishing effect. In another embodiment, separate zone portions (T) can be secured to the backing sheet with minute adhesive portions (25') or adhesive tape (32).
