Title: A Method for Obtaining an Odourless Product from Train Oil for use as a Substitute for Tallow.
Inventor: SANDBERG GREGOR
Filed: 1902-01-06
Granted: 1902-02-20
Abstract: 393. Sandberg, G. Jan. 6. Fats and fatty oils ; fatty acids; glycerine; soaps; candles; lubricants.-Relates to the production from train oil of an odourless product for use as a tallow substitute in the manufacture of hard soap, candles, and in other ways, and for use as a lubricant. The train oil is stirred with sulphuric acid at a suitable temperature, and nitrous salts are added. After stirring for some time, the fat is washed with water to remove sulphuric and nitrous acids. The sulpho-sebacic acids present may be decomposed by treatment with direct steam. The fat is finally purified by distillation or other means. By the treatment of train oil with sulphuric acid alone at a higher temperature, a similar product may be obtained. The " train oil tallow " produced consists mainly of free sebacic acids, solid and liquid. During the reaction the glycerides of the train oil are converted by the sulphuric acid into glycerine and free sebacic acids, and the oleic acid is converted into sulpho-oxy-stearic acid which is decomposed by steam into sulphuric and oxystearic acids. The nitrous acid changes the oleic acid into solid elaidic acid.

Title: Improvements in Inhalers.
Inventor: MCKIM JOHN NELSON
Filed: 1902-10-07
Granted: 1903-08-06
Abstract: 21,789. McKim, J. N. Oct. 7. Inhalers. - Inhalers of the ammoniumchloride type, are provided with additional parts whereby air already laden with an expectorant may be made to take up a volatile or non-volatile medicament. The hydrochloric acid and ammonia for generating ammonium chloride are contained in the glass vessels a, b, Fig. 5, respectively. These vessels, together with a vessel c for a volatile disinfectant or the like, when such is to be employed, are carried by the cover or stopper of a jar 10 containing water as usual. The stopper is pierced with three holes, Fig. 4, the first o for a tube 2, opening into the jar 10, the second z for a tube to which the airsyringe pipe 5, Fig. 5, is attached, and the third for the delivery pipe or for a nebulizer 20. In addition, the stopper has passages made in its substance so that the air driven into the vessel a can pass into the vessel b and thence into the vessel c, from which it escapes through the opening z. To facilitate its manufacture, it is made in two portions p, q, of rubber or the like, cemented together. The vessels a, b, c have lips on their upper border, which are sprung into recesses t in the stopper. The tube 2 is closed below by a tubular rubber valve to prevent the formation of a vacuum in the jar 10 on withdrawing the stopper. The tube in the vessel b has a similar valve to prevent the mingling of the gases and consequent blocking of the duct with ammonium chloride when the inhaler is not in use. Where a non-volatile medicament is used, the vessel c is out of use, a nebulizer 20 being fixed on the discharge orifice. The air, laden with ammonium chloride, issues from the tube 15, and draws up the medicament from the tube 16. The resulting spray is dashed against the shoulder 14, becoming still further nebulized before issuing from the nozzle 8. The tubes 15, 16 are made of glass with a uniting-piece 17.
