Abstract: 762. Krupp Akt.-Ges., F. Feb. 5, 1910, [Convention date]. Ordnance breech mechanism. - Relates to semi-automatic guns of the kind which have, in addition to the run-out gear, separate springs for opening and closing the breech, and consists in arranging for both springs to be stressed as the gun runs out. Fig. 4 is a cross-section, and Fig. 5 a plan, of the breech end of the gun showing the gun in the firing position with the breech closed. The breech - opening torsion spring H is connected at one end to a drum F freely mounted on a spindle C', and at the other end to a disk G keyed to the spindle C', which is rotatably mounted in the standing breech. The drum F, which is integral with the wedge-operating handle f<5>, is connected by projections f<3> on a sleeve f<2> with the thrust lever C. The breech-closing torsion spring R is connected to a fixed sleeve Q and to a collar c<3> on the spindle C<1>. During the recoil, a pin s', on an arm S attached to the lower end of the spindle C', passes the yielding stop T, but during runout the stop does not yield, and a projection t' thereon deflects the arm S and rotates the spindle C', causing both the springs H, R, to be stressed. A spring catch P mounted on the standing breech A then engages behind a projection g<2>, Fig. 10, on the disk G and holds the springs in the stressed state while a projection i<1> on a disk J engages a projection m<3> on the hand-lever catch M and releases the drum F, thus allowing the breech to open; the extractor E being operated in the usual way by a recess d<2> on the breech block. The drum F then moves to the position shown in Fig. 15, and at the end of this movement, the edge f<10>, Fig. 10, on the drum depresses the catch P and releases the disk G, which, under the influence of the spring Q, operates upon the drum F to close the breech. The extractor E, by engaging with a recess d<3> on the breech-block, interrupts the closing movement, which is not completed until the extractor is moved by the insertion of a fresh cartridge. The casings F, Q, containing the springs H, R are so arranged that they may be readily removed bodily without altering the initial tension of the springs.

Title: Improvements in the Manufacture and Production of Anthraquinone-di-thiazoles.
Inventor: JOHNSON JAMES YATE
Filed: 1912-01-24
Granted: 1912-11-07
Abstract: 1970. Johnson, J. Y., [Badische Anilin. & Soda Fabrik]. Jan. 24. Anthraquinonedithiazoles, which are vat dyes, are obtained by condensing 2:6-diaminoanthraquinone-1:5-dimercaptan, or 2:7-diaminoanthraquinone-1:8-dimercaptan, with an aldehyde or #-dihalogenmethyl compound of the benzene series, or with the corresponding carboxylic acids or derivatives thereof, such as anhydrides, esters, amides, nitriles, halides, or trihalides. When carboxylic acids, or derivatives thereof, are used, the dithiazoles are usually obtained directly, while when aldehydes or w-dihalogenmethyl compounds are used, an intermediate product may be formed, and may be oxidized to the dithiazole, or the dithiazole may be obtained by using an excess of aldehyde or wdihalogenmethyl compound in the reaction, or carrying out the reaction in the presence of an oxidizing-agent. Instead of the abovespecified diaminoanthraquinonedimercaptans, the corresponding diaminodihalogenanthraquinones may be employed, together with a body, such as a polysulphide, capable of replacing the halogen atoms by S, or SH, residues. According to examples, 2:6-diaminoanthraquinone-1:5-dimercaptan is condensed with benzaldehyde in presence of pyridine or nitrobenzene, giving a reddish-yellow vat dye; benzal chloride, benzotrichloride, or benzoylchloride may be substituted for benzaldehyde; an intermediate product is obtained from the same diaminodimercaptan and benzaldehyde, and is oxidized by means of concentrated sulphuric acid ; 2:6-diamino-1:5-dichloranthraquinone is heated with benzaldehyde and sodium polysulphide solution, giving the same dye.
