Title: Process for the Nitration of Meta-nitroaniline.
Inventor: FLUERSCHEIM BERNHARD JACQUES
Filed: 1910-02-09
Granted: 1911-02-02
Abstract: 3224. Fl³rscheim. B. J. Feb. 9. [Cognate Applications, 4701/10, 9477/10, and 11,478/10.] Tetranitroaniline ; trinitroaminophenol. - Tetranitroaniline, useful in the manufacture of explosives &c., is produced by treating with sulphuric acid and a nitrating-agent, 3-nitraniline or derivatives thereof in which one or more nitro groups or other acid radicles capable of being replaced by hydrogen or a nitro group during nitration are substituted for hydrogen in the amino group, or in the 1- or 4- position to the amino group, or in more than one of these positions, or derivatives in which an aldehyde residue is substituted in the amino group with or without one or more acid radicles in the 1- or 4-position to the amino group. Suitable acid groups are -CO.Alk, -CO.Ar, -SO2Ar, -SO3H, -COOH, &c., and suitable parent materials are 3 : 4-, 3 : 6-, and 2 : 3-dinitroanilines, 3-nitroacetanilide, 2 : 3-, and 3 : 4-dinitroacetanilides, 3-nitro-ptoluenesulphonylanilide, diacetyl - 3 - nitraniline, benzoyl-3-nitraniline, 1-amino-4-nitrobenzoic acid, 3-nitro-4-sulphanilic acid, 1-acetamino-4-nitrobenzoic acid, m-nitrobenzylidene-3-nitraniline, mnitrobenzylidene-3 : 4-dinitroaniline, and a mixture of 2 : 3-, 3 : 4-, and 3 : 6-dinitroacetanilides. The nitro group in the 3- position can be replaced by radicles such as amino, hydroxyl, &c., groups. For example treatment with aqueous sodium acetate solution yields trinitro-3-aminophenol. 2 : 3-, 3 : 4-, and 3 : 6-Dinitroacetanilides are obtained in admixture with one another by nitrating 3-nitroacetanilide.

Abstract: 10,080. Harrington, R. J. April 25. Mules.-In order gradually to shorten the period of rotation of the delivery rollers while the top of the cop is being formed, as described in Specification 12,441/08, the roller clutch is disengaged by reason of a stop n on the carriage engaging a cam block J. The block J is mounted on a rock-shaft G, which operates a locking-lever F and thereby allows a spring j to actuate the lever E of the driving-clutch. The block J is gradually moved inwards by means of a shaft K and lever system N, P, controlled by the shaper or builder plate, so that the clutch is disconnected earlier each successive draw during the winding of the top of the cop. The clutch is again put in gear by means of a stop D on the carriage which operates the clutch lever E against the pull of the spring j, the locking-lever F being then operated by a spring. The levers N, P and the parts on the shafts G, K are adjustable.

Title: Improvements in Looms for Weaving Axminster carpets or like Chenille Pile Fabrics.
Inventor: YOUNG DANIEL HENDERSON LUSK
IPC: D03D39/00
Filed: 1910-06-10
Granted: 1911-03-16
Abstract: 14,059. Young, D. H., L., and Sandeman, R. L. June 10. Weft tension, regulating apart from shuttles in shuttle looms.-In looms for weaving Axminster carpets or like chenille-pile fabrics, means are provided for drawing-off from the shuttle, while at rest at either side of the loom, a length of weft sufficient for one shot, the arrangement being such that the parts first move at a moderate speed, which is then increased, and then at a gradually diminishing speed towards the end of the stroke. In one form, the weft is drawn from the shuttle by a hooked arm A<2>, Fig. 1, which is forced outwards by a pawl B<1> on a rod B reciprocated by connexions from a cam-operated lever. Towards the end of the outward travel the pawl contacts with a stop E', and is removed from engagement with the arm A<2> against the action of a spring. The formation of a selvedge is ensured by a needle E<2> raised and lowered by cam action. In another form, the weft is drawn off by a hooked lever H<2>, Fig. 5, carried by a block H<1>, which is fastened to a cord G<4> and is movable in a guide H. The ends of the cord are wound in opposite directions on to a pulley G<3> operated by a rack G. At the upper limit of its travel, the lever H<2> is turned into the position shown in dotted lines by encountering a projection secured to the guide H.

Title: Improved Railway Block Telegraph Indicator.
Inventor: BLACKALL ALFRED THOMAS
IPC: B61L23/12
Filed: 1910-09-16
Granted: 1911-08-31
Abstract: 21,554. Blackall, A. T., and Jacobs, C. M. Sept. 16. Signalling - i n - struments; miniature signals.-Rel a t e s to threeposition b l o c k telegraph indicators and consists in the provision of a centring-magnet for returning the index to the central position. The magnet may operate either by releasing a catch, o r magnetically. T h e instrument consists of an electro-magnet a with poles b, b<1>, and a permanent magnet c with poles d, d<1>, between which poles is mounted a cylinder e carrying soft iron segments f, f<1> and having a segmental swelling g with a central notch h. Below is mounted an electro-magnet k having an armature k' attached to a lever l which is normally engaged in the notch h by a spring. The axis of the cylinder e carries a pointer o the movement of which is limited by stops n, n<1>. When a momentary current of either polarity passes through the magnet a, the pointer is turned to right or left, the notch h being bevelled to allow this. The lever then falls behind the end of the swelling g and holds the pointer. Reverse currents may overcome the resistance offered by the end of the lever, but otherwise the centring-magnet k must be energized to lift the lever to release the cylinder, which then returns to the central position with the lever l in the notch h. The transmitter is adapted to send three currents, two of equal strength and opposite polarity, and one of less strength and of either polarity. A relay p, Fig. 3, and the magnets a, k are placed in series with the magnet a, normally short-circuited. The relay p has armatures q, r, the first controlling the circuit of a bell t, and the second controlling the magnet circuits. The bell is rung on the passage of any current, and the magnet a placed in circuit when a strong current of either polarity attracts the armature r. Instead of a weaker current, an alternating current may be used to operate the magnet k, which is then placed in parallel with the magnet a and in circuit with a condenser.

Abstract: 27,131. Elia, G. E. Dec. 4. Mines, marine.-Relates to submarine mines which are automatically exploded when struck by a ship, and consists in providing a spring- controlled striker connected to the anchoring- device and controlled bv a movable arm so that the striker is automatically cocked and released by the buoyancy of the mine when the mine is struck. A conical chamber b, Fig. 1, arranged in the casing a supports a tube c within which is a cartridge d and detonator e. The striker i is carried by a piston h which reciprocates in the cylinder f; the rod m has a groove n engaged by pivoted claws p normally pressed apart by a spring t but prevented from opening by the cylinder f. The rod r is connected by a shackle s to the anchor cable, the head u being normally engaged by the inner end v<1> of an extensible movable arm v pivoted at z. An extensible joint w keeps the device watertight. A spring key x, shown in Fig. 2, which is a section at 2-2, Fig. 1, locks the extensible arm v both against rotation and extension, until a block y of sal-ammoniac has dissolved. In operation, the mine rotates about its vertical axis when struck; the arm v, v<1> is stopped by the ship's hull and hence rotates about the axis z; and the buoyancy of the mine produces a movement of the rod r and claws p relatively to the cylinder f, thus compressing the spring j and setting free the striker i to fire the mine.
